Chapter 117.

Under the warm light, the intimately entangled shadows were accompanied by the ambiguous sound of water and somewhat rapid and disordered breathing. Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing were now very familiar with kissing. This was thanks to their frequent "practice". Now they had found the time and method that was most comfortable for each other.

"After all this is over, I have a surprise for you." Xu Baiqing said after they ended the kiss and before they could catch their breath.

"Oh?" Qian Yirong asked in doubt. She looked at Xu Baiqing, feeling she was up to something sinister. However, she felt she had already secured victory. She raised the corners of her mouth and said, "Then I'll be looking forward to it."

The two of them stayed together for a while. When Xu Baiqing realized that Qian Yirong wanted to take the next step, he pulled away in time. Using the excuse of being tired, he returned to his room while Qian Yirong was waiting anxiously.

Xu Baiqing thought that the thing she bought would arrive soon, and she couldn't help but look forward to what expression Qian Yirong would have when she found the thing. It would definitely be very interesting, Xu Baiqing was looking forward to it.

Because of the expectations, Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing were more motivated to do things, and Ruan Rongzhen, who was about to leave Qian's, felt more at ease with Xu Baiqing.

On the other side, Qiancheng Shu finally found some clues. To be honest, if he hadn't gotten some information from Xu Baiqing, Qiancheng Shu might not have discovered that the four major families that he thought had an impregnable connection were actually on the verge of disintegration.

In this unavoidable storm, Qian Chengshu realized that if he had enough courage and acted with care, he might not only be able to escape from his current situation of being controlled by others, but even rise to the top, which would not be impossible.

By then, no one would say that he could not compare to Qian Yirong. Even if he handled it properly, he might be able to get involved in Qian Yirong's current company. However, he still lacked the capital. So Qian Chengshu thought of his father who was in the detention center and was holding on to his shares.

If the shares he holds are added, Qianchengshu can mortgage a large sum of money and become a trader in the upcoming turmoil instead of just going with the flow and picking up some scraps.

However, Qian Chengshu knew that it would not be easy to persuade Qian Chaowen to transfer the shares to him. After all, Qian Chaowen could not escape the charges. If he could not hold on to the shares, Qian Chaowen was worried that he would lose everything.

This is also the reason why Qian Chengshu stopped visiting Qian Chaowen after he found that he could not get the shares from him in the morning. But now the situation is different. If he doesn't seize this opportunity, he doesn't know whether there will be such an opportunity to make money again in the future.

So even though Qian Chengshu knew it was difficult, he still went to the detention center to see Qian Chaowen. Of course, his whereabouts could not be hidden from Qian Yirong, who had someone keeping an eye on him. Knowing that Qian Chengshu went to the detention center where Qian Chaowen was being held, she guessed what Qian Chengshu was thinking.

Originally thought that he could only take away the shares of Qian's family held by Qian Chengshu, but now it seems that there is an unexpected surprise. However, Qian Yirong doesn't know whether Qian Chengshu can get his shares from Qian Chaowen.

Although they didn't spend much time together, it was enough for Qian Yirong to see what kind of person Qian Chaowen was. He was selfish and greedy. If he hadn't been in the detention center, he wouldn't even have given Qian Chengshu the rights to be a share agent.

Under Qian Yirong's secret expectation, Qian Chengshu went to the detention center where Qian Chaowen was held for several days in a row without anyone noticing. In the photos sent by the people who were monitoring Qian Chengshu, the expression on Qian Chengshu's face became more and more relaxed.

Qian Yirong thought that it seemed that no one knew a son better than his father. It seemed that Qian Chengshu would be able to get Qian Chaowen's shares in no time, so she should also prepare. This time she wanted to be the biggest winner.

Qian Yirong did not do nothing during this period. Shen Tianxing seemed to be confident and was not in a hurry to contact Qian Yirong again. Qian Yirong took advantage of this opportunity to make some other preparations.

The Mu family, which had been awakened, took the biggest action. After collecting solid evidence, Old Man Mu finally told the matter to the head of the Mu family. At first, the head of the Mu family thought that Old Man Mu was joking with him, but when the evidence was placed in front of him, he could no longer deceive himself.

After discovering that the Mu family was in a critical situation, he broke out in a cold sweat and his expression became panicked, because the head of the Mu family knew clearly that everything he had obtained now was due to the Mu family.

Once something happens to the Mu family, everything he has now will be wiped out. He has enjoyed a life of spending money lavishly and being praised by everyone, and he would even rather die if he saw the head of the Mu family fall.

“How could they…how could they…” The head of the Mu family murmured in panic.

"Useless thing." Grandpa Mu looked at his son's absent-minded appearance. Even though he had guessed that he could not rely on him, he could not help but feel discouraged.

"Dad, Dad... Nothing can happen to our Mu family." The head of the Mu family came to his senses after being scolded by Grandpa Mu. He rushed to Grandpa Mu and said anxiously.

At this time, the head of the Mu family completely forgot how he felt when he felt that Old Man Mu was hindering his power. He only wanted Old Man Mu to turn the tide and save the Mu family from the current dangerous situation.

"I told you a long time ago to give some power to Zexuan, but you refused to agree. You bear the greatest responsibility for the Mu family's current situation." Old Master Mu knocked the ground hard with his cane, saying with a look of disappointment.

"Dad, whatever you say is what it is. What should we do?" At the critical moment of life and death for the Mu family, he no longer had any thoughts of taking sole control of power. He only wanted to overcome the current difficulties as soon as possible.

"What's the point of you agreeing so readily now after making excuses in the beginning?" Old Master Mu wanted to hit the head of the Mu family several times with his cane. It was too late to remedy the situation now, as it was still critical.

"Dad, can you talk to the other three families and ask them not to touch our Mu family?" The head of the Mu family was desperate and said something whimsical.

"You think the business world is just a game of playing house. In this situation, if I come forward and say that our Mu family already knows that the other three families are going to take action against our family, I'm afraid it will directly speed up their actions." Old Master Mu regretted it even more now. If he had known earlier, he would not have retired so soon. He would have waited until Mu Zexuan grew up and directly handed over the Mu Group to Mu Zexuan without going through the head of the Mu family.

Hearing his father's words, the head of the Mu family became even more anxious. He knew clearly that if the other three families really united to attack the Mu family, he would definitely not be able to withstand the offensive of the other three families. By then, the Mu family would really be on the verge of collapse.

"If we rely on you, our Mu family will really be finished." Old Master Mu said with a look of disappointment.

"Dad, you have a solution, right?" The head of the Mu family sensed something from Grandpa Mu's reaction and said with his eyes shining.

"Hmph," Old Master Mu snorted, his eyes gleaming with ferocity as he spoke, "Zexuan and I have long begun preparations, but the other three families are coming with such force that our Mu family is still in great danger. This time, the situation is already a life-or-death struggle. If the other three families want to swallow our Mu family, they'll have to see if they have such a good appetite and whether they'll die of gluttony."

The head of the Mu family had not seen his father like this for a long time. He only remembered that his father's expression like this was always accompanied by the collapse of a certain group. He knew that his father was planning to fight to the death.

"Dad, we..." The head of the Mu family had some thoughts of retreating. He wanted to transfer some assets in advance while the other three families had not yet taken action against the Mu family. Maybe there would still be a chance to make a comeback.

"Don't even think about escaping." Old Master Mu saw what his son was planning at a glance. He wanted to withdraw the Mu family's assets, but he also had to keep an eye on the other branches of their family and give them opportunities. If he still thought about retreating, he would really lose the last chance to fight back.

"If you can get through this time, you can just give up your position to Zexuan." Grandpa Mu said, completely disappointed with the head of the Mu family.

"But..." The head of the Mu family was still a little reluctant. If he could successfully overcome this crisis, he would certainly still want to be the person in charge of the Mu Group. He was in his prime, so how could he abdicate to his son at this time?

"But what do you mean by 'but'? You should know that even if we can hold on this time, the Mu Group will be in a precarious stage. Do you have the ability and courage to make it through?" Grandpa Mu asked impatiently.

The head of the Mu family fell silent. He knew his own abilities. Just as Grandpa Mu had said, even if they could overcome the difficulties this time, the storm would not be easily quelled. To put it nicely, he could only barely maintain the status quo. It was indeed difficult for him to stabilize the precarious group.

Mr. Mu knew that his son's silence meant that he agreed to his decision. Fortunately, his son was self-aware, and Mr. Mu's anger subsided a little.

The Mu family united to overcome this difficult time, but their actions naturally could not be concealed from the other three families who had been keeping an eye on them. When the Mu Group showed abnormal behavior, the head of the Qu family contacted the head of the Shen family.

"Something is wrong with the Mu family." The head of the Qu family said straight to the point. Among the three families that planned to take action against the Mu family, the head of the Qu family was the most active one, so he was the one who paid the most attention to the movements of the Mu family.

"Are you sure?" asked the head of the Shen family.

"Of course I am sure." The head of the Qu family said firmly. Since he became the head of the Qu family, except for the failure in front of Qian Yirong, he has never made any mistakes in other matters.

"It seems that the Mu family has discovered our plan." The head of the Shen family sighed and said with some regret.

"So what? Are you planning to stop at this point?" The head of the Qu family snorted in dissatisfaction.

"Of course not. I just feel sorry that the Mu family discovered it too early and we haven't been fully prepared yet." The head of the Shen family replied.

"With our alliance, the Mu family won't be able to cause any trouble," Patriarch Qu felt Patriarch Shen was being too cautious. He said, "Let's make an appointment with Patriarch Li. Let's discuss when to take action."

"Okay, since they have discovered the clues, let's discuss and determine the time to act as soon as possible to avoid any further complications." The head of the Shen family responded. Since the Mu family has discovered the clues, they should act as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.
