She bit the lower flap of her red lips and hurriedly nodded. âY-Yes!â
Only then did his finger slide across the screen to pick up the call. He even turned it into speaker mode.
There was no way he would give her the chance to play tricksâhence, putting it on speaker. He wanted to hear for himself just what they had to say!
âF-Fourth uncle!â
Mu Lianjueâs voice rang from the other end. âWhereâs the child?â
âHeâs already in the car! Iâm now on my way...â
Her voice still faintly sounded fearful.
As an astute person, the man had gotten a little wary. âWhatâs wrong with your voice? It sounds weird.â
Mu Yichen pressed the muzzle a little harder against her temple.
She curbed her urge to scream, deeply aware that, if she screamed, even if the boy did not shoot her to death, he would surely break several of her bones!
Thus, she desperately tried to control the shakiness of her voice and laughed. âItâs nothing. I just caught a little cold, so my hoarse voice.â
âWhereâs Mu Sheng? Has he taken the medicine?â
âIâve already given it to him to drink!â
âWhere is he now, then?â
âIn... the bedroom, I guess.â
âHe he! I heard that Mu Yazhe is on his way home! Everything is going according to my plan. Youâd better not mess it up! Once I get my hands on the equity transfer agreement, you wonât be lacking in any benefits!â
Her red lips parted. However, at this moment, the smile on her face was absolutely awful, and even her voice had an ineffable bitterness to it. âHe he... He he. I shall give you my thanks here first, then!â
The call soon ended.
The childâs face turned cooler after listening to the entire phone conversation.
âYou tampered with great grandpaâs medicine?!â His voice turned frosty; in an instant, it seemed that they were trapped in an ice cellar and were frozen to the core!
She nodded imperceptibly with pursed lips as a silent confession.
She then tried hard emphasizing, âI was coerced into doing so! I didnât wanna hurt grandpa if I could!â
âDo you think Iâll still believe your words?â
He loaded the pistol and interrogated, ââTell me: What motives do you have?!â
âItâs not me... not me...â
âRegardless whether you have motives or not, what do you want to do by abducting my mommy?!â
As the muzzle pressed even tighter against her, she truly felt the cold and eerie air coming from it. She yelped in fright, âIâll talk; Iâll talk!â
âTalk!â
She licked her dry lips before spilling all the details of Mu Lianjueâs plans at once!
It turned out that the man wanted to swallow all the Mu Group shares for himself. With just a measly eight percent of shares in his hands, he had no place and speaking rights in the board of directors despite him being a Mu!
Hence, ambition rose in him.
He cared not for the position of the Mu familyâs head. What he was really eyeing was that 70-percent Mu Group shares in Mu Yazheâs hands!
70 percent!
Imagine. Even if he finally won the title of the family head, his nephew still held the most shares in the huge Disheng Financial Group!
In the end, the entire Disheng would still be under his nephewâs control.
Even if he became the family head, he would have no say regarding their familyâs business empire!
Hence, he came up with this method.
