Chu Yunying watched the outside with a somber gaze, her voice cold, "What good is it to find Jiang Nuan? It only exposed our location. Jiang Nuan suspects we were responsible for the last incident, and her child is convinced we did it, which is why he dared to come and cause trouble. That child is very smart. He knows we wouldn't dare go after his parents because we're already hiding from Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen."
Hong Bin frowned, his brow furrowed, "Are we just going to let these scoundrels, Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen, get away with it?"
Chu Yunying sneered and looked at Hong Bin, voicing her concerns, "Even if we don't go after them, Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen won't let us off the hook." Mu Jiuchen certainly wouldn't let her off.
However, she was quite surprised that Mu Jiuchen wasn't making a move!
What was Mu Jiuchen waiting for?
If Mu Jiuchen wouldn't move, she would!
She was certain she could defeat Mu Jiuchen.
When she let Jiang Yukou in, she actually had a plan in mind.
She wanted to use Hong Bin, who had already retreated, to deal with Mu Jiuchen.
Hong Bin dared not touch Mu Jiuchen's territory, but he already had. The people from the Shadow Hall were already investigating this matter.
When Hong Bin was pushed to desperation, he would lash out like a cornered dog.
Furthermore, Qin Shulang had returned, and the people from the Shadow Hall were not under his control.
Most of them listened to Hong Bin.
As long as Hong Bin was controlled, the situation could be managed.
Mu Jiuchen was busy taking care of Jiang Nuan and didn't have time to manage the affairs of the Shadow Hall.
Hong Bin's expression was grave, and he remained silent, lost in thought.
After several confrontations, Mu Jiuchen's power had instilled fear in him.
Moreover, his current business was booming, with money flowing in like a river. There was no need to offend Mu Jiuchen.
However, seeing Chu Yunying beaten like this, if he didn't avenge her, he wouldn't be a true man.
But how did that child find out where they were?
It seemed that place had been exposed.
"Brother Hong, I'm sorry. Have I caused you trouble again?" Chu Yunying looked at Hong Bin, who was silent, feeling worried. Her eyes welled up, and she looked at Hong Bin guiltily.
As their eyes met, her deep gaze quickly hypnotized Hong Bin.
"Hong Bin, kill Mu Jiuchen and Jiang Nuan, kill his child," Chu Yunying whispered into Hong Bin's ear, her voice soft and seductive as she instilled her will into him.
Hong Bin jolted, his mind momentarily dulled. He then looked at Chu Yunying with anger, "Yingying, don't worry. I won't let Mu Jiuchen's family off the hook. You rest well in the hospital and wait for my good news."
Hong Bin stood up and left quickly.
Chu Yunying watched Hong Bin's departing back and revealed a sinister smile.
Hong Bin could no longer escape her grasp.
Jiang Nuan, I will make your son and daughter pay.
...
The next day, Jiang Nuan was still very busy.
However, with her son's competition, she and Mu Jiuchen still managed to make time to bring their daughter to cheer him on.
Her son didn't want them to go, but they learned the competition location from Lu Jinyan and went sneakily.
This competition was organized by Hua Rong Entertainment, the largest entertainment company in Modu.
Jiang Yukou had prepared for a long time for this competition.
The hall was bustling with noise. Mu Jiuchen and Jiang Nuan, dressed in casual wear and wearing baseball caps, were unrecognizable.
Jiang Siyun was dressed similarly, but the three of them had an extraordinary aura that still drew attention.
The family of three sat in a corner.
Jiang Yukou had no one to help him. With the popularity of his live stream and after several matches, he directly entered the finals.
In the FT finals, he was the only child.
There were a total of four groups in the finals.
The first three groups had already started, and Jiang Yukou was the last.
Mu Jiuchen and his family of three waited patiently.
Jiang Siyun was incredibly happy. Her elder brother usually didn't let them watch him sing, but today they could finally see him perform live.
Jiang Nuan felt stifled. She wanted to sneak backstage to see how her son was preparing.
"Husband, you stay here with Yunyun. I'll go for a walk. It's too stuffy here."
Mu Jiuchen nodded and whispered in her ear, "Mm! Come back quickly. It will be our son's turn soon."
Mu Jiuchen's tone was proud. He had been too busy recently to pay attention to his son.
He never expected his son to grow so much in secret and give them a surprise.
He thought it was just an ordinary competition, but it turned out to be a crucial final.
Jiang Nuan ruffled her daughter's hair and stood up to leave.
Once outside, she was shielded from the noisy environment.
Jiang Nuan immediately felt her ears become much quieter.
She curved her lips slightly; she had never been able to tolerate crowded places.
She sat down on a long bench behind the rooftop. There were several prosperity trees here, growing vigorously and lushly, adding much vitality to the place.
"In a moment, you'll put this medicine in the 'Cat Face Singer King's' water. This kid doesn't have much backing, so don't be afraid. With him here, you won't be able to win first place."
"But if I do this, and I'm caught, my life will be ruined." a young voice sounded hesitant.
"But if you don't do it, you won't be able to get first place. Don't you want to win first place? Don't you want to help your father raise the surgery fees quickly?"
"Teacher Li, I also want my father to have surgery soon, but if I win the competition this way, once I'm discovered, I'm finished. My singing career will end here."
"But Hua Rong Company only wants the first place. Only if you win first place can you get in and earn more money to treat your father."
"I..."
"Don't hesitate any longer. If you don't get into Hua Rong, the company won't spend money on you anymore. It's almost your turn to perform. Before you go on stage, that kid habitually drinks some water. As long as he drinks this medicine, he'll never be able to sing again."
"But..."
"I've given you the solution. Whether you do it or not is up to you!" the man interrupted coldly.
Footsteps gradually faded away.
Jiang Nuan slowly stood up and watched the two figures in front and behind her.
A cold glint flickered in her clear eyes.
They were targeting her son.
Jiang Nuan followed behind. Non-staff members were not allowed backstage.
Jiang Nuan watched people coming and going, each wearing a work badge. A woman on the phone walked out, and Jiang Nuan bumped into her.
"Sorry."
The woman, busy on her phone, glanced at Jiang Nuan, who had her head down, and then left.
With a work badge, Jiang Nuan easily entered backstage.
People backstage were busy, and no one noticed her.
Passing by a dressing room, she saw her son sitting alone inside, playing games on his phone.
Jiang Nuan: "..." So proud!
Suddenly, someone called out to her son. He put down his phone and left with the middle-aged man.
Then, a very handsome boy, resembling a young idol, entered Kuo Bao's dressing room.
After placing an identical water cup on the table, he picked up Kuo Bao's water cup and discarded it in the large trash can nearby.
Seeing this, Jiang Nuan's face turned extremely cold.
She waited a moment after the boy left before quickly walking over.
