Chapter 516
After hearing Chuan's answer, Ziyue remained stunned for a long time.
It turned out that Yuchuan had something to do with what happened to Muchen. Thus, she wondered if his purpose was only to make Muchen submit to him or whether there was another reason.
Ziyue asked Chuan. "What are you all planning to do?"
Chuan did not answer her question but said confidently, "The boss will be fine."
Ziyue understood the implication of those words.
Although Chuan sounded confident, it was still only his guess.
He believed Yuchuan was the mastermind behind the matter to force Muchen to submit to him but would not let him get into real trouble.
"I understand," Ziyue replied softly and hung up.
Xia came over with Zixi and found Ziyue in a daze. She could not help but ask, "What's wrong?"
…
There was no progress at all in the following few days. He Yichen and Chuan were still busy dealing with Muchen's matter.
On the other hand, Ziyue had not brought Zixi to the preschool for a few days. She felt useless compared to the two men and could not do anything for Muchen.
She tried to use her connections to suppress news about Muchen fatally injuring someone, but it did not solve the problem.
The news had gone out of control. She could no longer use her connections or money to stop it from spreading.
Even when she went shopping at the supermarket, she could hear people discussing this.
It seemed the news would not die down any time soon.
Ziyue kept feeling tense and did not dare to calm down. For the first few days, she was able to pretend nothing happened and went to work as Muchen advised.
Now, she could not bring herself to go to the company.
The media was pervasive and interviewed people she least expected.
Ziyue would check the Web every day for news about Muchen. She accidentally found an article named 'Friends and Family Talked About Muchen, President of LK Group: He Is Cold Hearted.'
She clicked on it and found that a reporter had interviewed Yuanming.
Su Group's shares were now split equally between Ziyue and Youcheng.
Youcheng was a cautious man. Therefore, he would not step out now to declare his stance on Muchen's matter. He had experienced losing Su Group, so he became even more careful than before.
Therefore, only Yuanming would speak to the media.
Yuanming could easily attract the media's interest by revealing that he was Ziyue's blood-related uncle.
He dropped shocking information, causing the matter to be on trend again. He even brought news about Gong Shuzhe being Muchen's biological father.
An unscrupulous media company even speculated that Shuzhe died in prison. It alleged that Muchen was ashamed of having such a father and arranged for someone to kill him.
As expected, the news caused an uproar as soon as it was published.
Even though the reporters kept bringing out any matters relating to Muchen, there was no mention of Yuchuan.
It was as if all the reporters agreed in advance to avoid mentioning that Muchen had a grandfather who was the head of the aristocratic Mogwin Family in Country J.
In reality, they likely had a prior agreement.
Ziyue could not sit and do nothing after seeing how severe things had become.
She had no way of meeting Muchen again, and she could not bear watching others slander and defame Muchen. She also could not let Muchen languish in police detention.
She sat in the study the whole day. At night, she finally decided to dial Yuchuan's number.
Ziyue knew Muchen would lose his advantage if she called Yuchuan.
Muchen had instructed her to ignore Yuchuan and not listen to anything he said.
She had promised Muchen the same. But that was under the condition that he returns home safely.
Chuan was capable of handling matters for Muchen. Whenever something happened, he was able to help Muchen deal with it. Furthermore, even if it was too much for him, Jingshu could help.
However, the matter this time was worse than anyone expected.
She could not hide behind Muchen and wait for him to deal with every obstacle and trouble. She needed to do something for him.
Moreover, she did not consider the consequences of her calling Yuchuan. All that mattered was that Muchen came out safely. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
The line soon connected.
Ziyue felt nervous.
But listening to the ringing tone calmed her emotions.
At this moment, someone pushed the study room door hard from outside.
"Mrs. Qin!"
Ziyue looked up and saw Chuan rushing into the study room with an anxious expression.
As she was calling someone, she did not ask Chuan why he was there.
But Chuan dashed to her in a few steps, grabbed her phone, and turned it off.
"What are you doing?" Ziyue recovered from the shock and immediately glared at him.
"Yesterday, He Yichen met with Boss. He instructed me through He Yichen, asking me to watch over you." Chuan had been running around for various matters and was exhausted. After returning home last night, he fell asleep and forgot Muchen's instruction.
This morning, he remembered what He Yichen told him and felt he should come over and check on Zixi and Ziyue.
However, as soon as he came to the living room, the maid told him that Ziyue had stayed in the study room for the whole night.
Chuan had worked for Muchen for many years. Thus, he was astute and intelligent. He recalled what Ziyue said when she called him and instantly guessed what she planned to do.
Ziyue's expression froze upon hearing him. She looked down and said flatly, "Give me my phone. I have an important call to make."
"Are you going to call Yuchuan?" Chuan asked.
Ziyue did not deny his statement.
There was no point denying it. She and Chuan were doing everything they could for Muchen.
"You must not call him. He wants us to panic and is chipping at our patience little by little. If you call him, it will amount to surrendering to him. Then, you, Boss, and even your son would have to live under his control in the next decades."
Chuan spoke loudly and was furious.
Then, he realized how harsh he sounded. His expression changed briefly.
However, the words that left his mouth could no longer be taken back.
He had been busy running around for the past few days, but his effort did not bring any progress. It frustrated and tired him out, causing him to lose control of his temper and say things he should not.
