What Mu Yazhe saw on his face utterly disappointed him!
He pressed on, âYou know all the details of my fatherâs car accident and my motherâs death, donât you?!â
His second uncle remained mum.
His face darkened at his silence. âWhat am I to you, then?! Am I nothing but a pawn?!â
âC-Calm down for a bit!â
âIâm being very calm now.â
The man shut his eyes, but when he finally opened them again, his chilling expression unnerved those present. âIâm at my calmest state!â
Seeing this, Mu Linfengâs face turned pale with fear and he tried to give an explanation. âThat car accident back then... If I had foreseen it, I would have certainly prevented it from happening, but... I only learned about it later!â
Alas, he only received an expressionless smirk in response from his nephew.
âFourth brother did commit a foolish mistake, but itâs been over a decade; heâs put it behind him. Shouldnât you do the same? Now that you have the entire Mu Group in your hands, why bother with the past? So many years have passed; you should be hung up on it and let this matter begone!â
Mu Yazhe could not help bursting into laughter.
âBegone?â
How could a decade-long enmity simply be begone?!
He snorted coldly. âSure!â
His reply left his uncle gaping at him, but then he proceeded to add, âIf you want to let it begone, just pay it back in blood!â
With that, he simply turned and took off!
Mu Linfeng was left standing in the same spot in a daze. He understood what his nephew meant!
He wanted to use his fourth uncleâs life to clear this debt!
With an ashen face and a trembling body in fear, Mu Lianjue got up to his feet. âSecond brother...â
âLianjue, look at what youâve done! Why did you do such a foolish thing back then?!â The older brother glared at the younger one in disappointment and fury.
Color drained from the latterâs face.
Prior to this, he would definitely laugh it off, saying, âHmph! That lad wonât dare to do anything to me!â
However, after what had happened earlier, from his nephewâs eyes, he realized that he did have the intention to kill him!
Now, he no longer dared to say such a thing in any case!
âDonât you understand why I did it in the first place, second brother? Youâve seen it for yourself; be it capability or skills, how was I inferior to Liancheng? In fact, I was better than him, but what decision did that old fogey make?! I shouldâve been the Mu familyâs heir, yet in the end, it was given to him! How indignant I was! What about you? Although you didnât explicitly air your grievances, Iâm sure you felt the same back then!â
He fell silent. In the dark corridor, two quinquagenarians stood across each other against the light with their faces hidden in the shadows.
âSecond brother, I did it out of indignation! Ha ha! Donât you know it, too? Liancheng had no ambition at all; why should the Mu Group be in his control? Would the company have survived the crisis if it had been put under him?! It was the companyâs turning point at that time; it wouldâve been finished if it had been handed over to him!â
