His chiseled, handsome face devoid of warmth, Mu Jiuchen replied, "You can think of it that way."
He strode away.
The invisible pressure lifted, and Song Yang breathed a sigh of relief, her back drenched in cold sweat.
She and Jiang Nuan exchanged a silent glance, only then truly understanding how happy Jiang Nuan's life was.
Because that man, Mu Jiuchen, doted on her, she truly lived a happy life.
Song Yang let out a cold laugh, a bitter jealousy churning within her. "Jiang Nuan, you found a good husband, but because of your actions, Mu's Group's stock plummeted. Not only that, but the Lu family will also face the same fate. Your single misguided decision has cost so many people!"
"Right now, reporters outside are extensively covering the news of you being a murderer. Your Lu family is already in utter chaos. Your mother fainted from anger, and your father rushed back."
Hearing that her mother had fainted, Jiang Nuan's eyes were filled with deep guilt.
She caught the flicker of jealousy in Song Yang's eyes. Song Yang was a capable person, but no matter what level one reached, human nature was the hardest to test; not everyone could resist the temptation of money.
If Number One hadn't been suddenly transferred to a special department, Song Yang would have been the captain. After Number One's transfer, she became the deputy captain, a fact that also made her resentful. She was too eager to prove herself.
She spoke lazily, "You don't need to worry about those things, nor do you need to be concerned. Mu's and the Lu family can afford to lose that small amount of shares."
She slowly stood up and said, "Let me return to my cell."
A hint of confusion flickered in Song Yang's eyes. Then, she realized that the Jiang Nuan she knew had always been so cold and ruthless.
She could choose to die and be done with it, but others would suffer.
...
Mu Jiuchen reached his car and saw Number One, who gestured for him to speak.
Mu Jiuchen told him to get in the car to talk.
They sat in the car, neither looking at each other, both gazing at the pedestrians in the distance.
After a long while, Mu Jiuchen finally spoke.
They talked secretly for a while, then Number One got out of the car and left quickly!
Meanwhile, Mu Jiuchen had his belongings moved to the precinct; he intended to stay there to accompany Nuan Nuan.
When Song Yang came out, she saw a motorhome parked in the police station's lot. Mu Jiuchen had moved in.
A subordinate walked up to Song Yang, saying with envy, "Boss, it's good to be rich. You can have whatever you want. This motorhome is brand new, and the leadership has already approved Mu Jiuchen staying here."
Song Yang: "..."
Following this, Jiang Nuan's personal belongings and lunch were delivered to her detention cell after inspection.
Song Yang looked at the meals, priced at tens of thousands each, a luxury only the wealthy could afford, with a deep sense of mockery in her eyes. No matter how good the food, she would still be a corpse in a few days.
She took a deep breath, her heavy heart weighing her down. She left the police station to have lunch.
...
At the villa.
Mu Yichen and Mu Yunfeng were having breakfast. Thinking of his masterpiece, Mu Yichen felt immensely proud.
"Dad, the medicine previously released onto the market was discovered by Jiang Nuan, so we stopped distributing it. Now that Jiang Nuan is arrested and my substitute is also caught, can I continue my experiments?"
Mu Yunfeng glared at him. "Stop doing anything illegal. Now that you're alive, just be a decent human being."
He felt a growing unease, though he couldn't pinpoint the exact reason.
"In three days, the contract signing with Shengtian will happen. I'll go with you. I'm not at ease with you; you're too impulsive in your actions."
"Okay, Dad. I've observed them for half a year, so there won't be any problems." Mu Yichen was very confident.
"Yan Xi is dead, but he left us such excellent test subjects. The subsequent experiments will surely amaze the world." Mu Yichen looked at the brownish-red liquid in the bottle with excitement.
No matter how skilled the police were, they wouldn't be able to catch him anymore.
Mu Yunfeng looked at his confident son and coldly reminded him, "Don't celebrate too soon. Jiang Nuan is a very cunning person."
"Dad, you're always so cautious, and it's delayed so many things. We've already contacted them. This kind of serum can alter a person's appearance, like a direct copy-paste, making it impossible for anyone to notice any difference. I've reached an agreement with them; once we provide this serum, they will pay us hundreds of millions to buy it, and many of them are from the underworld."
"Shut up! First, get the Shengtian matter sorted out, then think about other things. With your personality, it's too difficult to surpass Mu Jiuchen. You can only continuously acquire other companies and strengthen your own to be able to take over Mu Jiuchen's company. All our previous plans have been overturned. Li Qingshuo and He Mingrun, these two, are currently immovable. They were forced to this point by Jiang Nuan, living in hiding. I have been living in the shadows for years, like a rat in the street. I despise this kind of life. Jiang Nuan is going to jail for a capital offense. Mu Jiuchen will be devastated. That will be your opportunity. After cooperating with Shengtian, join forces with Shengtian's power to swallow Mu Jiuchen's company, and then target the Lu family."
Mu Yunfeng's eyes, filled with ambition, brimmed with hatred.
Being pushed to a corner by Jiang Nuan forced him to take such a risky move, which also made it easy for him to expose himself.
"Dad, you're just too cautious." Mu Yichen was dismissive.
Mu Yunfeng cast a sharp glance at him, his voice chilling. "You don't understand. Jiang Nuan's sharp eyes have seen through you how many times?"
"At that time, I wasn't careful enough, but now I'm very cautious." Mu Yichen smiled confidently.
He was about to say more when he suddenly saw his father's expression change drastically. "What's wrong? Dad."
"Damn it, your substitute has been exposed."
The once-confident Mu Yichen: "..."
"How could...?"
"How could it not?" Mu Yunfeng looked at him coldly. "I told you long ago not to be careless. It's all your foolish mistakes." Mu Yunfeng stood up and warned him, "Stay here. If you dare to go out and get caught, I won't save you this time."
Mu Yichen: "..."
He watched his father's retreating back, deep in thought.
How was he discovered?
Mu Yunfeng reached the doorway, then turned back, roaring, "Idiot, imbecile!"
Mu Yichen: "..."
...
Online!
Jiang Nuan's alleged murder had become the focus of national attention.
~ Jiang Nuan is Mu Jiuchen's wife, would she really kill someone over a few verbal disputes?
~ Too many people make mistakes on impulse. Besides, Jiang Nuan doesn't have a medical license, how dare she perform surgery?
~ Punish the killer severely. Jiang Nuan's malicious act of harming an elderly person has had a terrible impact.
...
At Ye Anran's house!
Seeing the news online, Chu Yunying also came over to celebrate with Ye Anran.
"Ranran, you're the most formidable. Jiang Nuan now has no chance to turn things around." Chu Yunying hadn't expected Ye Anran to be so ruthless this time.
However, Ye Anran's expression suddenly changed. "Chu Yunying, what are you talking about? This matter has nothing to do with me."
