Chapter 1359 Return 2


Mu Yuchen had a cold smile plastered across his face.


“Just think of it as payback for Lingshi and Grandmother. You know what? I’ll go and get some sleep. I hope I can be home for the New Year. Christmas is coming soon too. It’s quite lively over here…”


Zhou Zimo went on and on, and Mu Yuchen hung up on the call without waiting for him to finish.



Mu Yuchen did not go to meet Gu Qiwu. Of course, Mu Lingshi did not either, but he delivered Gu Qiwu a message via Li Si.


“Mr. Gu, Master said he’ll see you, but not now. Also, Miss Lingshi said she doesn’t want to see you. If Doris is the one behind Ah Mo’s kidnapping, and if anything happens to Ah Mo, she’ll never want to see you again…” Li Si clearly conveyed Mu Yuchen and Mu Lingshi’s messages to Gu Qiwu.


Gu Qiwu’s reaction was weak as if he already expected this outcome. “I got it. Thank you,” he blurted out moments later.


“By the way, Master also told me to tell you that Doris is prepared to back off…” Li Si added.


Gu Qiwu actually smiled. “Really? Getting ready to run away now? How dare she?! Mu Yuchen promised me to find that b*stard she slept with. Is there still no news about him?” His expression turned cold as he stared at Li Si.


Li Si was stunned for a moment. “I’m sure you have an idea who it is. After all, you investigated Doris before as well, didn’t you? You’d know best the reason why Doris was so desperate to take Hui Gu away from you. Master said you’re a smart man. It might not be too late to make amends now…” He stopped his sentence there.


Gu Qiwu went silent for a while before taking a deep breath and putting on a bitter smile. “I underestimated your Mu Yuchen! Maybe…I was wrong from the beginning. Lingtian might’ve been better by your side…”


“Ah Yong, tell my lawyer to do as planned. Go and meet Mu Yuchen, and I’ll leave the Hui Gu Corporation to my daughter, Mu Lingshi…”


Gu Qiwu then stood up.


“Don’t worry, Mr. Gu. Master will find a way to get you out of here before the press conference,” Li Si replied.


“It doesn’t matter anymore. Staying here has its merits too.”


Gu Qiwu then slowly walked towards the door…



Li Si was efficient after he received orders from Mu Yuchen. Since Gu Qiwu had just given his consent, he brought lawyers along and negotiated with Gu Qiwu’s lawyers.


For some reason, the reporters found out that Gu Qiwu had been arrested for being a suspect in w.a.n.g Qin’s death!


The CEO of the Hui Gu Corporation, Gu Qiwu, intended to let his illegitimate daughter, Mu Lingshi, take over!



The rain got heavier at 2 p.m. in the afternoon, so Qi Lei and the gang decided to rest at the town and only continue when the rain subsided.


The car was on a muddy path leading them into the small town. Rather than being an actual town, it was just a village with more houses than the one they were in previously.


The narrow path could barely fit the car.


“There’s a restaurant right there. Let’s eat something first,” Qi Lei said.


Ah Mo agreed, and he spoke to the driver before all of them went down, “Give us some of your recommended dishes here.”


Ah Mo ordered while Qi Lei was observing the surroundings. There was a public phone beside the store in front, but as he was about to head over, Ah Mo stopped him!


“Be careful! Look there!”


Qi Lei quickly halted and looked in the direction Ah Mo pointed. Just several tables away from them, a few large-framed men were sitting together while staring at them!


Yang Sheng’s whole body tensed up!


“Master Qi, Ah Mo, they are here for us!”


Qi Lei and Ah Mo traded glances and nodded at each other.


“Don’t worry. Just act like they aren’t there.”


Ah Mo was used to dire situations like this, so he was able to stay calm, but it was the complete opposite for Yang Sheng who nodded and tried his best to suppress his uneasiness while lowering his head…


The group of men would not let them get away so easily.


The men continued to stare at them. Moments later, the leader signaled one of his henchmen with his eye. They stood up and slowly went closer to them, so the trio was surrounded in a matter of seconds.


“Would you guys like to join tables?” Ah Mo’s expression remained unchanged, but there was a tint of coldness in his eyes.


No one replied, but they circled them closer.


Yang Sheng was getting more and more anxious as they got closer. Meanwhile, the driver was already keeping a distance from them.


“Master Qi, what should we do?” Yang Sheng asked Qi Lei.


No one in the restaurant stepped in. Everyone just watched in silence.


“You lot are really persistent,” Qi Lei said coldly.


“The boss wants to see you guys. If you still want your pay, it’s best that the three of you show some cooperation!” the leader said.


“Your boss? How do you want us to cooperate with you?” Qi Lei laughed coldly. “I’ll let him keep the money to prepare for his coffin. We don’t want it anymore.”


“You guys still have a lot of leftover work to hand over, and the boss is an extremely responsible person,” the leader replied.


“What are you guys going to do if we don’t cooperate?” Ah Mo clenched his fists slightly as he smirked.
