Chapter 57 Riot at the Airport

The driver in the front seat glanced at Fan Yu. Although he was somewhat skilled, he…

Fan Yu brought far too many people; if he had brought Chao Xian along, he would have had absolutely no chance of winning.

Fan Yu noticed that Chao Xian didn't make any move and realized that Chao Xian didn't want to talk to him.

His gaze fell on the bodyguard beside him, but he saw that everyone immediately stepped forward and tried to open the car door directly.

The driver whispered to Chao Xian behind him, "Mr. Chao, don't worry, the bodyguard..."

Fan Yu stood outside, smiling, speaking as if catching up with an old friend: "If you're planning to wait for those bodyguards to come and rescue you, I think you'd be better off having a proper chat with me."

Upon hearing this, Chao Xian realized that the person before him had come prepared.

It was specifically aimed at him; Fan Yu was probably already waiting for him the moment he left the Mu family.

He was too relaxed and gave away his whereabouts.

"I have nothing to talk to you about," Chao Xian replied, his eyes cold and indifferent, looking up as if he were looking at a stranger.

At least that's how Chao Xian sees it.

When Fan Yu saw Chao Xian's expression, the smile on his face instantly turned cold.

"Really? But I feel we have a lot to talk about, like Mu Yunzhou, like you..."

When Chao Xian heard Mu Yunzhou's name, her eyelashes trembled slightly.

Seeing that Chao Xian remained unmoved, Fan Yu lost interest, especially since this place was near the Mu family.

Once the bodyguards escape and notify the Mu family, he will have no chance.

This is your only chance.

Fan Yu gestured to his bodyguards to open the car door, then turned his back to them, his gaze filled with coldness.

A bodyguard handed Fan Yu a cigarette, which Fan Yu then lit.

"I just don't want to hurt you, but what happens to others is none of my business. You wouldn't want your driver to become the second Luo Zichang, would you?"

Fan Yu sighed softly, the scent of cigarette wafting from his fingertips. Fan Yu was gambling that Chao Xian wouldn't want the people around him to take risks for him.

Gambling in the morning and evening will not risk a life for one's own safety.

Upon hearing this, the driver frowned, immediately released the handbrake, and his gaze became intense.

"Mr. Chao, don't worry, I will take you back to the Mu family."

These people are difficult for the driver to beat, but if he were to risk his life, he should be able to get Chao Xian to the foot of Mu Family Mountain.

As soon as the security personnel guarding the foot of Mu Family Mountain are seen, the Mu family members will naturally come out.

The driver understood that his task was to safely return Chao Xian.

Chao Xian sneered and closed his eyes briefly: "Stop it, Fan Yu is a madman."

Fan Yu made the right bet, or rather, he understood Chao Xian's character very well.

Knowing that Chao Xian wouldn't want his driver to become the next Luo Zichang.

"Fan Yu, get in the car."

Chao Xian spoke softly, without making any movement himself, his gaze fixed on Fan Yu.

Fan Yu walked straight up, glanced at the driver, and gestured for him to unlock the car door.

Fan Yu's bodyguard quickly opened the door for him.

After getting in, Fan Yu glanced at the driver in front of him and said with a smile, "Please get out."

At this point, Fan Yu seemed to have learned some manners.

After all, Fan Yu had just led his men to attack with baseball bats.

But this kind of person is a typical smiling tiger.

Chao Xian thought to himself.

The driver glanced at Chao Xian, his eyes filled with worry.

Chao Xian simply raised her chin slightly, and the driver had no choice but to get out of the car, but he remained nearby and did not go far away.

Chao Xian spoke softly, "They've all left. What do you want to talk about?"

"Luo Zichang gave you a very important document, and I'm very angry." Fan Yu didn't get to the point; instead, he brought up another matter.

Chao Xian tilted his head, his gaze falling on Fan Yu, a hint of coldness in his eyes: "So you faked his suicide?"

"Actually, I'm very curious, how did you know he didn't commit suicide?"

Fan Yu asked with curiosity in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Chao Xian softly replied, "Because suicide is impossible."

Mu Yunzhou in the book could not have committed suicide.

Chao Xian knew Mu Yunzhou as confident and capable. Even if the Mu Group were to disappear, he would be able to rebuild it.

Therefore, it's impossible for him.

How could Luo Zichang, who had just met him and said he would use the Luo family as a weapon, possibly commit suicide that very day?

These two coincidences can only reveal one message.

In the book, Mu Yunzhou is betrayed and his family goes bankrupt. He is murdered, but the murder is staged as a suicide.

Luo Zichang now gives the documents to Chao Xian, betrays Fan Yu, strikes Fan Yu hard, is murdered, and fakes his own suicide.

Both of them now have one thing in common: Fan Yu.

"I didn't expect you to be so certain. It was truly a pity to have sent you to Mu Yunzhou back then. After all, even I didn't expect you to become the head of the Mu family."

As Fan Yu spoke, he casually revealed a secret he had kept hidden for a long time.

Chao Xian was not surprised to hear this.

Fan Yu had been planning this for several years, and he naturally paid attention to the Mu family. Mu Yunzhou wanted to find someone, and Fan Yu sent someone to him.

The original owner was a pawn in the book, which is why the original owner suddenly betrayed Mu Yunzhou later.

Fan Yu is a man with a truly meticulous mind.

They don't even hesitate to eliminate the root of the problem.

"Fan Yu, what you're thinking is that after I'm selected, I'll see the wealth and glory of high society, and I'll be tempted and want more, such as becoming the rightful head of a family. But unfortunately, you've made the wrong bet."

That's not wrong. The original owner of the book was indeed tempted and cooperated with Fan Yu.

But... what stands before Fan Yu now is Chao Xian, the real Chao Xian.

Not the original owner.

Upon hearing this, Fan Yu scoffed, "That's what I did think, but I don't think I made the wrong bet. Life is like that, full of countless possibilities. I just didn't expect you to be that variable."

“You are very smart, smart enough to tempt me. If you can get the Mu family to stop now, and if you are willing, you can also become another person in charge of the Fan family. You are a smart person, we can join forces.”

Fan Yu became more and more excited as he spoke.

But Chao Xian looked at him coldly.

That gaze was devoid of any emotion, as if it were directed at a complete madman.

Fan Yu met Chao Xian's gaze and understood Chao Xian's decision.

"Since you are unwilling, then Mu Yunzhou has no choice but to die."

Fan Yu gritted his teeth and said those words, then suddenly laughed:

“Chao Xian, you still have time to consider. You are a kind person. Our best cooperation is to join forces to eliminate the Ji family. The Mu family has already been severely weakened. Once Mu Yunzhou dies, the Mu family will not survive for long.”

Upon hearing this, Chao Xian felt a chill run through her. She gripped her clothes tightly with her fingertips, her nails turning white, and her eyes sharpened.

"Fan Yu, underestimating your enemy and being arrogant are weaknesses that you can never get rid of from your bones."

In a split second, Chao Xian made his move. In the cramped car, Chao Xian almost instantly grabbed Fan Yu by the throat, subduing Fan Yu who had fallen onto the parking space before he could dodge.

A feeling of suffocation rushed to my head, and my vision went black.

Despite the circumstances, Fan Yu remained calm; he simply hadn't expected Chao Xian to act so quickly.

Suddenly, an image inexplicably flashed into his mind: at the wedding hotel of Jian Huai and Fan Yun, Chao Xian had also dealt with people in a similarly swift manner.

I had underestimated Chao Xian's fragility.

That's why they were completely unprepared when Chao Xian made his move.

Even... entering a separate space with Chao Xian.

Chao Xian chuckled softly, her voice like a hook, making Fan Yu's heart tremble involuntarily.

"Why didn't Mr. Fan do some research beforehand? After all, sitting with someone who is skilled in mixed martial arts makes Mr. Fan quite uneasy."

Then Chao Xian feigned surprise, followed by a light laugh: "No, even if President Fan investigates, he probably won't find out."

After all, the one with the certificate was Chao Xian before she transmigrated into the book.

Chao Xian gently pinched his subordinate's throat; this was a fatal spot.

"Cough—cough cough—"

Fan Yu's face flushed red, and he felt like he couldn't breathe properly.

He underestimated Chao Xian.

"Consider? Fan Yu, let me tell you, you're the kind of person who never develops feelings for others. In your heart, only yourself is the most important."

After all, she knew exactly what kind of person Jian Huai was, yet she simply told Fan Yun that something was wrong with Jian Huai's feelings.

Even though Fan Yun knew Jian Huai wasn't a good person, Jian Huai could still get rid of her bodyguards with just a few words.

Wasn't all of this orchestrated by Fan Yu?

Wasn't this a setup he had made in advance to keep Fan Yun under his control?

He only needs to step in when Fan Yun is in danger.

Then he was the most important brother in Fan Yun's heart.

The choice of a marriage partner for Fan Yun will also become her greatest asset.

How could someone like that talk about feelings in front of Chao Xian?

That's how the original owner of this body was murdered...

Moreover, Mu Yunzhou absolutely cannot die!

Chao Xian loosened his grip, allowing the person in front of him to come to his senses. Chao Xian was not Fan Yu; he was a good citizen of a society governed by the rule of law.

"Mr. Fan, could you please clear a path for me?"

With a quick pull, Chao Xian lifted Fan Yu, who was breathing heavily, up.

Despite her delicate and well-behaved appearance, Chao Xian's cold demeanor is something that cannot be ignored.

The bodyguards saw the car door open from the inside and rushed forward, but the next second, they saw that the person who had been held hostage was Fan Yu, who got out of the car.

The bodyguard's expression changed drastically, and the driver, realizing what was happening, quickly grabbed his phone to call the Mu family.

Chao Xian looked at them and smiled:

“You are indeed loyal. Fan Yu himself is in danger, yet you are still willing to follow him. I have already called the police. Since you are so loyal, why don’t you all go in together?”

When everyone saw the smile on Chao Xian's face, they were shocked, not expecting Chao Xian to be so decisive.

She's just a celebrity, and doesn't seem to have experienced much.

But his actions were decisive and ruthless, and even those who were just watching couldn't help but feel that Chao Xian was truly ruthless.

The Mu family's bodyguards arrived quickly and surrounded them.

The Mu family members stood beside Chao Xian, and the driver, holding his phone, was also nearby, keeping a watchful eye on things.

Afterwards, Chao Xian handed the person over to the Mu family bodyguards, rubbed his wrists, and finally relaxed.

"What about Mu Yunzhou? What if I said Mu Yunzhou would die?" Fan Yu's voice was hoarse, and it was especially sharp under the restraint of the Mu family's bodyguards.

Upon hearing this, Chao Xian turned to look at Fan Yu.

The Mu family bodyguards' expressions changed when they heard those words.

But Chao Xian spoke slowly and deliberately: "He will not die."

I will definitely not die.

Fan Yu smiled confidently, tugging at the corners of his mouth: "Is that so? Then we'll wait and see. We have a long future ahead of us."

The Mu family bodyguards immediately covered Fan Yu's mouth.

Since this mouth can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all.

"When the police arrive, I'll tell them the truth. I'm leaving now."

Chao Xian quietly reminded the driver beside him, then turned and got into another bodyguard's car.

Fan Yu's men were surrounded, each holding a baseball bat, while the Mu family members were all armed with stun guns...

Back at the Mu family's old residence, Mu's mother and Mu Ziyan were already waiting for Chao Xian at the door. Mu's mother was pale, but after seeing that Chao Xian had returned safely, she was completely relieved.

"Thank goodness you're alright, Chaochao, otherwise how would I explain this to Mu Yunzhou?"

Mu Ziyan went straight up and pitifully grabbed Chao Xian's sleeve.

This morning he clearly said he was going to go with Babo, but after Chaoxian said he could go on his own, he didn't.

Thankfully, Babo is alright, otherwise he definitely wouldn't be able to forgive himself.

The worry in Mu Ziyan's eyes was almost overflowing.

She couldn't help but look him up and down, worried that he might have some kind of injury.

Seeing Mu Ziyan's actions, Chao Xian reached out and patted Mu Ziyan's head.

Mu Ziyan, with her smooth hair, smiled at Xian and said, "It's alright. Fan Yu can't beat me. Don't you believe in my strength?"

That's the truth.

Chao Xian chuckled lightly, but Mu Ziyan still looked as nervous as ever.

Even when Mu's mother and Chao Xian were just walking inside and talking together, Mu Ziyan followed closely behind Chao Xian.

If he weren't so useless, Babo wouldn't have had to work so hard.

Even near the Mu family's residence, Fan Yu stopped them. If he were capable, Ba Bo and his father wouldn't have to go through all this trouble.

If I were just a little bit more capable, I wouldn't be just waiting for them to come home at the Mu family's house. If I were just a little bit more capable, I could help Babo and my father.

Mu Ziyan thought to herself, then lowered her head and remained silent.

When Mu's mother saw Ziyan's appearance, she could only feel helpless.

The heirs of other families are all trained from a young age, and in terms of both personality and ability, Mu Ziyan is far inferior to them.

Moreover, Mu Ziyan has never liked communicating with others since she was a child; she prefers to isolate herself.

I guess it's because I've been through so much lately.

Mu Ziyan is increasingly resembling Mu Yunzhou when he is about to take over the company.

Calm and decisive, Mu Ziyan even endured the hardship of keeping vigil for several days at the old lady's funeral.

Furthermore, his attitude towards guests makes people unconsciously forget Mu Ziyan's age.

But Mu Ziyan completely lacked the liveliness and intelligence that one should have at this age.

As Mu Yunzhou grew up, he gradually became indifferent due to his company. Apart from his family, he had to be on high alert and wary of the old foxes in the business world.

Although the Mu family designates an heir early on, they do not have the habit of cultivating one from childhood.

The purpose is to ensure that the Mu family's children have a healthy childhood so that they won't grow up to be cold-hearted and heartless.

"Ziyan, watch TV with me for a while." After seeing Mu's mother off, Chao Xian couldn't calm down, so he thought of finding something to do.

Upon hearing this, Mu Ziyan did not immediately agree, but instead softly said that her teacher would be there later.

Chao Xian found this strange, as it was close to the Spring Festival and high schools were already on holiday.

And where did the teacher come from?

“I just contacted a mixed martial arts coach and asked him to come to the Mu family to teach me. I always feel that I should be stronger.”

Mu Ziyan spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, Chao Xian froze, then looked up and asked, "Is it because of what happened today?"

Chao Xian found the root cause almost immediately.

The Mu Ziyan of the past wouldn't have acted this way; the Mu Ziyan of now seems different.

Chao Xian felt a sense of relief: he had probably grown up.

"Yes, if I were very capable and went with you, perhaps you wouldn't be in danger." Mu Ziyan nodded firmly.

Chao Xian was touched and smiled: "Zi Yan, but this matter cannot be blamed on you. Even if you are very capable, I cannot let you take risks. However, it is a good thing that you want to grow, and I will not stop you."

Chao Xian smiled as he looked at Mu Ziyan, his eyes gentle.

Just as Mu Ziyan was about to shed tears of emotion.

Chao Xian spoke again, his eyes shining, and he was very excited: "How about this, if you want to blame it on yourself, then take me to this barbecue restaurant after your father comes back!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ziyan subconsciously glanced at the phone that Chao Xian had taken out.

The initial feeling of being moved vanished instantly.

But Mu Ziyan nodded quickly, waved his hand, and said directly, "Eat, eat two meals!"

Chao Xian chuckled lightly: "Young Master Mu is very generous."

Mu Ziyan's complexion improved slightly, and she seemed more lively than usual.

Chao Xian then watched Mu Ziyan leave with a sense of relief.

After Mu Ziyan walked out of the small building, Chao Xian picked up his phone, glanced at the time, and silently calculated it in his mind.

Mu Yunzhou should still be resting now.

Mu Yunzhou had only been gone for a day, but Chao Xian couldn't stop worrying.

Especially after Fan Yu said that.

I have a feeling that something is going to happen.

Although Chao Xian believed that Mu Yunzhou would be fine.

But Fan Yu's expression was far too absolute, after all, Fan Yu had killed someone from Mu Yunzhou once in the original story.

Chao Xian had no choice but to be on guard.

After thinking for a moment, Chao Xian sent a text message to Mu Yunzhou.

Chao Xian originally planned to call Mu Yunzhou back after he woke up and saw the text message.

But to his surprise, the phone rang immediately after he sent the text message.

Chao Xian quickly answered the call. It was very quiet on the other end, so quiet that Chao Xian could only hear Mu Yunzhou's heavy breathing.

It was so hot that it was irresistibly tempting.

“Chao Chao,” Mu Yunzhou spoke first.

Chao Xian immediately noticed the hoarseness in Mu Yunzhou's voice.

After calculating the time, Chao Xian frowned and asked, "Didn't you rest?"

The other person noticed the dissatisfaction in Chao Xian's tone, and Mu Yunzhou quickly explained, "I slept for a while on the plane, but I can't sleep now, so I'm looking at some documents."

That cautious tone, which seemed to be coaxing Chao Xian, only made Chao Xian more dissatisfied.

Even though I rested for a while on the plane, so much time had already passed.

Mu Yunzhou doesn't cherish his body at all.

"The situation in China has gradually stabilized. What about over there?"

Chao Xian quickly asked.

Mu Yunzhou hummed in agreement and spoke slowly.

"The Ji family wants to retaliate against us, but Elder has joined forces with us and plans to suppress the Ji family and several other companies first. I estimate that I will be able to return soon."

Chao Xian didn't understand, and just gave a dry "oh".

"Then you must be careful. I'm afraid the Ji family might do something impulsive."

Chao Xian carefully considered his words before speaking softly.

Then, fearing that Mu Yunzhou might not take it seriously, he emphasized, "You must be careful! You absolutely cannot let your guard down!"

Mu Yunzhou chuckled, then quickly nodded and assured him, "I promise, I will be safe."

Chao Xian nodded, then, remembering that he had spoken to Mu Yunzhou by phone, quickly replied with an "Mmm".

Mu Yunzhou sighed softly on the other end of the phone: "Chaochao, I miss you so much."

Upon hearing this, Chao Xian's lips curled slightly, and he shook his head: "Then... shall we video chat?"

Chao Xian originally thought that Mu Yunzhou would agree, and that Mu Yunzhou might even be very happy.

But Mu Yunzhou refused outright.

"I'm afraid watching the video will make me miss you even more."

Mu Yunzhou said this.

Chao Xian snorted, and the two talked for a while.

Chao Xian only hung up the phone after Rong Heng told him to go to the front hall at the door.

Mu Yunzhou, who was far away in another country, was at the company at this moment.

Before him stood Elder and Mu Qianyu, Mu Qianyu staring at Mu Yunzhou with disbelief in her eyes.

Then she turned to Elder and whispered, "Elder, I missed you so much~"

Elder chimed in with broken Mandarin, "I'm afraid watching the video will make me miss you even more~"

The two stared at Mu Yunzhou, who was in the main seat.

Mu Yunzhou rolled his eyes at the two of them, then continued to speak while holding the documents in his hand.

Mu Qianyu saw that Mu Yunzhou had turned cold and ruthless again and sighed softly.

Then, out of curiosity, she asked, "Chaochao said she was going to turn on the video, why didn't you? Weren't you looking at Chaochao's photos all day?"

Mu Yunzhou reached up and touched his face; the stubble he hadn't tidied up at the company was slightly prickly.

In addition, he dared not let Chao Xian know that he had not rested since he boarded the plane.

If Chao Xian were to notice the bloodshot eyes and the bluish-black under-eyes, he would probably be even more worried.

“I just don’t want him to worry.”

Mu Yunzhou sighed softly.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qianyu sighed, and then the group resumed organizing the information, searching for its feasibility.

Chao Xian had just received news that Fan Yu had been released on bail. Even though he had already been imprisoned, some people insisted on protecting him.

After all, Fan Yu had too many things that he couldn't let others know.

"Do you know who that person behind you is?" Chao Xian asked Mu's father in a low voice. Mu's father nodded warily.

Although I knew this, the person on the other side held a high position of power and had worked with Fan Yu for many years.

It won't be so easy to bring them down.

"The Ji family and the Fan family are cooperating because they both have their own interests. The higher one's position and the more power one has, the more people will want to step down from it. Sending them all anonymous copies will ensure that someone will want that position."

Chao Xian spoke softly.

Let others become the blade in your hand—this is a principle that Fan Yu taught him.

Father Mu frowned. Although he didn't quite agree with this method, they probably had no other choice but to take this path now.

This method is quite good, but if it gets detected...

"Don't worry, as long as we are law-abiding citizens and don't commit any crimes, even if we are found out, it will be an anonymous report from a well-meaning citizen."

Chao Xian had a smile on his face.

Mr. Mu nodded, he hadn't thought of that.

They are just enthusiastic and good citizens.

When Fan Yu went in again, he was still somewhat incredulous.

I didn't expect him to be back in so quickly!

But this time, no one came to his aid.

This means that he and the person behind him are completely finished.

After dealing with Fan Yu domestically, Mu Yunzhou was able to focus on helping his overseas subsidiaries, which significantly reduced his pressure.

With the help of the old lady of the Jian family, the Ji family quickly abandoned their plan, which was already doomed to fail.

Mu Yunzhou bought a ticket to return to China as soon as he finished resolving the issue.

He desperately wanted to see Chao Xian and hear her voice.

During this time, Mu Yunzhou could only hear Chao Xian's voice, and he had long been itching to speak to Chao Xian face to face.

He wanted to see his moon.

I'm eager to see you.

Mu Qianyu still had things to finish at the company, so she simply asked the driver to take Mu Yunzhou to the airport.

The driver is one of Elder's men, and he's very reliable.

Mu Yunzhou told Mu Qianyu that the flight was in the evening, a direct flight to City A.

They even hoped that Mu Qianyu wouldn't tell anyone that she was on her way back to China.

He wanted to give Chao Xian a surprise.

Night fell.

Mu Qianyu, who was busy at the company, received a message from Elder.

Tonight, just before boarding for Mu Yunzhou's flight, a riot broke out at the airport. The number of dead and injured is still being determined...
