Chapter 243 The Century-Old Mu Family, Utterly Finished

In the end, Gu Xingnian succumbed to temptation.

She was repeatedly drawn into Fu Beichen's gentle advances, like a lone leaf adrift at sea, finally finding a harbor to dock in.

Fu Beichen handled it with utmost care, as if it were a fragile, rare treasure.

He melted her heart with the most primal and enduring love, until their souls merged and they ascended to the heavens together.

...

When Gu Xingnian woke up again, it was already pitch black outside the window, and she couldn't tell what time it was.

All I know is that the man brought in a sumptuous and nutritious meal, picked up a bowl of fragrant soup, and began to feed the child.

"Sweetie, eat a little more." He sat on the edge of the bed, feeding her spoonful by spoonful, like coaxing a child.

After finally finishing his meal, Gu Xingnian had just leaned against the headboard to rest for a while when he leaned over the bedside, picked up a storybook, and began to read stories to the baby in his belly.

He read very attentively, with soft prenatal music playing on his phone.

The little one in the belly probably sensed the father's love and was moving around excitedly.

Finally, Fu Beichen picked her up and carried her into the bathroom to wash her.

In the warm, steamy atmosphere of the bathroom, he tormented her for a while, thoroughly ravaging her inside and out.

When she opened her eyes again, it was already broad daylight.

On the bedside table was a card he had handwritten, the handwriting strong and vigorous.

[Baby, remember to eat on time and think of me often. If you're bored, you can come back to the Sheng family home for a couple of days. I'll come back to pick you up soon. Love you.]

When Gu Xingnian walked out of the bedroom, there were two unfamiliar faces in the room. They were the nutritionist and nanny that Fu Beichen had specially invited to take care of her.

Her favorite breakfast was laid out on the table.

Meanwhile, Fu Beichen was already on his private jet bound for the capital.

Afternoon, Beijing.

In the lobby of the Mu Group, the flashbulbs were as bright as day.

The press conference for Mu's was held here, and more than 100 media outlets and some of Mu's important partners were invited to attend.

Before the Lunar New Year, Mu's overseas hospitals were besieged by patients' families due to the ongoing online controversy surrounding expensive and ineffective drugs, but Mu's remained silent and did not respond.

Mu Yanchen thought that the hype would gradually subside after the New Year.

But he underestimated the weaknesses of human nature, and even more so the bloodthirstiness of capital.

Nobody turns down money.

Some families of patients who died from the virus have even banded together to file a lawsuit against Murphy.

The incident escalated and became impossible to contain.

Today is the day Mu Yanchen cuts off his arm to save his life.

Therefore, this press conference attracted the attention of the entire medical community.

Backstage, Mu Yanchen glanced at his phone; N hadn't arrived yet.

He held his phone and sent another message.

They replied quickly.

[We'll be there soon, you can go on stage first.]

Upon seeing the message, he felt somewhat relieved.

After the host's lengthy opening remarks, Mu Yanchen was invited onto the stage.

Under the spotlight, he first offered a deep apology to the public for the inappropriate handling of the virus in Country A by the Mu's Overseas Hospital.

Then they began to announce the group's handling methods.

"I hereby solemnly promise that the group will process 100% refunds for overseas patients who request refunds."

These words caused an immediate uproar at the scene.

A full refund? That would be an astronomical figure that cannot be estimated!

Finally, Mu Yanchen emphasized the company's mission: "Since its founding, Mu's has weathered a century of trials and tribulations and served overseas for thirty years, always adhering to the original intention of 'benevolence of doctors.' This incident is a profound lesson for us, as it has seriously deviated from our original intention."

He looked around the room with a sincere expression and continued, "We will thoroughly investigate the cause, hold those responsible accountable, and earnestly request and sincerely accept the continued supervision of all sectors of society."

"We will definitely reflect deeply on this and strive to gain trust through more rigorous and professional services. We sincerely apologize once again."

After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply again.

The reporters in the audience went wild, bombarding them with one sharp question after another.

"Mr. Mu, will the Mu Group go bankrupt as a result?"

"Mr. Mu, besides refunds, what other compensation measures does the Mu Group offer for deceased patients?"

"President Mu..."

Mu Yanchen did not respond immediately, but simply raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Our manager will answer everyone's questions one by one later."

"Now, I would like to address the second point of today's press conference. Due to the previous crisis at the Mu Corporation, which affected N God's reputation, I would like to sincerely apologize to N God here."

After he finished speaking, he bowed again, but felt empty inside, because the face he most wanted to see had not yet arrived.

He could only grit his teeth and continue, "As everyone knows, N God has made a huge contribution to the world this time, quelling the rampage of the virus and saving countless lives."

"I hope that netizens will not take things out of context. N God's previous decision to donate the cardiovascular equation to the Mu family was also to enable the Mu family to develop better drugs, so that, like the Fu family, they can serve more patients."

"Our new drug is about to be launched, and the company promises to distribute 100,000 vials of the drug free of charge to help more patients with cardiovascular disease regain their health."

These words were met with enthusiastic applause, and public opinion shifted instantly.

It turns out that N God gifted the formula to the Mu family, rather than engaging in a business partnership!

This is truly boundless love!

"President Mu, please be careful with your words. My wife, N Goddess, has no contact with the Mu Group whatsoever, let alone any cooperation with them."

A cold, forceful voice pierced the lively atmosphere.

At the entrance of the venue, Fu Beichen, dressed in a black haute couture suit, walked in surrounded by a group of people. His aura was so powerful that it was suffocating, and it was clear that he had come with ill intentions.

Mu Yanchen's brow twitched violently, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart. However, in this occasion, he still maintained his composure and politely said, "Thank you for your support, Mr. Fu. Please have a seat."

Fu Beichen's face was cold, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. "I dare not be a guest of honor at the Mu family. I am here today to expose the truth."

Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed, "There's something inside! There's big news!"

All the cameras immediately turned around and focused intently on Fu Beichen and his group.

The lawyer behind him stepped forward, his gaze sharp as a sword, staring directly at Mu Yanchen on the stage.

"Mr. Fu is here today only to file five lawsuits against the Mu Group."

"First, we accuse Mu Yanchen of attempting to murder our Fu Group President, Mr. Fu Beichen, at Baitongman Port seven days ago."

"Secondly, Mu Yanchen has stolen the cardiovascular formula of Madam N, the president of the Fu Group, through illegitimate means. This formula was exclusively granted to AM Company in Country F two months ago, and the new drug will soon be launched on the market. We urge the Mu Group to immediately cease its infringing activities."

"Thirdly, Mu Yanchen has damaged the reputation of N-Goddess, the wife of the president of the Fu Group, by maliciously hyping up news about N-Goddess and the Mu Group in an attempt to profit from it. In fact, N-Goddess has never signed any authorization documents with the Mu Group, nor has she ever participated in any effective business cooperation."

The lawyer held up a document, saying, "This is an official certificate issued by Qingniao Technology."

"Fourth accusation: Mu Yanchen bribed medical staff at Haicheng Central Hospital and forged an appraisal report, which seriously damaged Mr. Fu Beichen's personal interests."

"Fifth accusation: Mu Yanchen colluded with S Pharmaceutical Factory in Country A to produce counterfeit drugs, disregarding the safety of the people and making huge profits."

The lawyer then produced another document, saying, "This is a confession letter from relevant personnel at S Pharmaceutical Factory."

During the live broadcast, the lawyer meticulously listed Mu Yanchen's five major crimes, each word ringing with conviction.

It not only went viral in the entire venue, but it went viral all over the world!

This is an absolutely shocking scandal!

Mu Yanchen stormed off the stage in anger, shouting, "Fu Beichen, this is all a false accusation!"

Fu Beichen stared coldly at him, his eyes filled with chilling coldness. "Mu Yanchen, do you think you can just take my life? Wasn't it you who had me, unconscious, and the car pushed into the sea?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. Mu Yanchen was truly audacious, daring to murder Fu, the richest man.

Mu Yanchen's face turned ashen instantly, yet he still made a last-ditch effort.

"The formula was given to the Mu family by N God free of charge, so there is no infringement! I have chat logs with N God!"

After saying that, he immediately opened his phone in front of the media and showed them his chat history with that "N God".

Fu Beichen laughed, but the smile didn't reach his eyes; it was full of mockery.

"Mr. Mu is joking."

“There is only one man in my wife’s contact list, and that is me, Fu Beichen.”

"You should try to hire a good lawyer for yourself."

Mu Yanchen was so shocked that he staggered back as if all his strength had been drained away.

N is fake...

It turns out, it was all a lie from beginning to end!

It was as if he had fallen into a meticulously designed trap!

Just then, Chen Sen walked in with his men, followed by officers from the Drug Enforcement Bureau and uniformed police officers.

A police officer stepped forward, showed his identification, and spoke in a completely emotionless voice.

"Mr. Mu Yanchen, you are suspected of premeditated murder of Mr. Fu Beichen. Please come back with us to cooperate with the investigation."

Mu Yanchen was handcuffed and taken away in full view of everyone.

The press conference was filled with heated discussions and chaos.

The partners present were devastated and their faces turned ashen.

They knew that the century-old Mu family was completely finished.

His eyes, as black as holes, were fixed on the Mu Group's press conference on his phone. When he saw Mu Yanchen being taken away, his brows furrowed into a deep frown. He cursed, "Idiot!" and then told the driver to take him to the airport. He was gone!

He hadn't expected Mu Yanchen to lose so completely; it seemed he couldn't count on him anymore.

But N God, he must be taken away; he will come back.

...

At 8 p.m., Sheng Weiwei secretly slipped out. She had just been discharged from the hospital today and wanted to take advantage of Bai Yu's absence to keep her appointment.

That's right, she wanted to see the stranger who had secretly sent her the message before. That person told her that he came from Maduri and knew that Zhan Xiao was not dead.

Her heart was pounding with excitement. She had to meet this person; perhaps she could really find information about Zhan Xiao.

As agreed, she arrived at a coffee shop in the East Square of the city.

This is a public place, so it's relatively safe.

Sheng Weiwei sat down in the designated spot and waited for ten minutes before a man wearing sunglasses and a mask sat down in front of her, looking rather timid.

Sheng Weiwei looked at him calmly and tentatively asked, "Did you send me the message?"

The man nodded. "That's right. Did you bring the money?"

Sheng Weiwei patted her bag. "I brought it, but I need to know Zhan Xiao's information first. Where is he now?"

"He is Maduri, and he has gone into hiding. Now, Maduri's power has fallen into the hands of a man named Lindu. That man also wears a mask and is ruthless. He probably wants to eliminate him completely."

“Mr. Zhan saved me before, so I sneaked into Haicheng to deliver a message to him.”

He misses you and wants to see you.

The man spoke with great conviction, and Sheng Weiwei clenched her fists excitedly, her eyes instantly reddening. Could it be that Zhan Xiao really wasn't dead?

She definitely didn't see his body with her own eyes; Dali said he was burned to death.

"Did he... give you any token?" Sheng Weiwei asked anxiously.

The man glanced around warily, then took out a silver black eagle ring and showed it to her.

Sheng Weiwei's pupils contracted; this was indeed Zhan Xiao's personal item.

She knew he wouldn't die so easily.

"Give me the ring, I'll give you the money, and tell me his exact address."

"Okay." The man handed her the ring, and just as she was about to take it, a cold handcuff was put on his wrist.

"Finally caught this cunning swindler? Miss, did you lose anything?" A man in a hat turned to her and asked seriously.

A fraudster? Sheng Weiwei shrank back in fright and shook her head. "No, no."

"While I was away, you were having a secret rendezvous with another man?" A familiar voice rang out.

Sheng Weiwei turned around and saw that her face was deathly pale, feeling guilty...
