Chapter 553 - Threats

Mu Qing naturally hired a lawyer to defend himself.

However, the police already had a large amount of evidence against him.

There were the nurse who took advantage of the time when Song Ning was unconscious and abandoned her at the entrance of the fire escape, the anesthesiologist who overdosed Song Ning, the doctor who participated in the matter, and the assassin who chased after Song Ning in the filming set. All of them were sent to the police station and confessed to their crimes and pointed at Mu Qing’s assistant.

Soon after, all the relevant people were arrested and brought to justice except for the person named Ji An.

Mu Qing’s assistant confessed very quickly as well and revealed all the things that Mu Qin had instructed him to do.

Faced with facts, Mu Qing had nothing to say. He could only get his lawyer to contact the elders of the Mu family to bail him out of jail.

For the sake of the Mu family’s reputation, the elders of the Mu family came to the Mu family house to speak to Jiang Jin. “He’s your son, after all. You can’t just do nothing and watch him die, right? Even a tiger won’t devour its cubs,” an elder said.

“That’s right! He’s a descendant of the Mu family no matter what. No matter what wrong he has committed, he doesn’t deserve to die. We have to help him. We can’t allow him to be incarcerated. It’ll tarnish the family’s reputation.”

“No matter what, we have to bail him out for now. That’s right, we can get him to plead insanity and send him to a hospital. In any case, we can’t allow him to be imprisoned!”

Jiang Jin looked at the anxious elders and felt her blood boil. She said icily, “Did all of you come to threaten me because of Mu Qing?” Second Granduncle Mu said, “How can this be considered as threatening you? We’re here to discuss this matter regarding the family with you. This concerns the Mu family’s reputation.”

At this time, Mu Chen, who had just come downstairs, said, “You’re afraid he’ll expose all of you if you don’t bail him out, right?” He stood behind Jiang Jin and massaged her shoulders as he said, “Grandma, you should go and rest. I’ll speak to the elders.”

Jiang Jin was a little worried.

Upon seeing this, Mu Chen smiled, signaling for her to be at ease as he said, “Grandma, currently, the most important thing to me is your health. Don’t worry about this kind of tiring matter. I’ll have a good talk with the elders. Don’t worry. I’m the Chairman of the Mu Group. No one cares more about the Mu family than me.”

Jiang Jin smiled at the elders as she said, “Mu Chen has already grown up. Since I’d handed the family and the company to him, they’ve been thriving. This child is very capable. I don’t think anyone can deny this, right? So, I’ll hand this matter to Mu Chen to deal with. I won’t get involved.”

Second Granduncle Mu frowned. “How can this be? Although you’re no longer the Chairman of the Mu Group, you’re Mu Qing’s mother! How can you ignore your son?” Jiang Jin’s face turned pale as she said, “He decided to leave the Mu family. Since that time, our mother-and-son relationship has been severed.”

Mu Chen looked at Second Granduncle Mu with a smile and said, “Second Granduncle, you keep pressuring my Grandma because you hope my Grandma would pressure me, right? Are you worried I won’t listen to you?”

Second Granduncle Mu’s expression turned unsightly now that he was exposed. Mu Chen gently tossed the folder in his hand on the table before he said, “This is the evidence of all the transactions between your branch of the family with Mr. Mu. I’m sure this is also the bargaining chip he used to force you to plead on his behalf. Are you sure you want my Grandma to stay and listen? Don’t you prefer to save whatever dignity you have left?” Second Granduncle Mu was rendered speechless by Mu Chen’s words.

Jiang Jin looked at Mu Chen in shock.

Mu Chen smiled and patted his grandmother gently as he said, “Grandma, please rest for a while. Let me handle this, okay?” Jiang Jin looked at her grandson and did not say anything. She only nodded before she went upstairs. She did not spare the elders a glance at all. She thought it was enough that she raised such a capable grandson.
