"Mr. Tebus, why did you suddenly decide to fire President Mu? Did he do something to upset you?"
When President Chen asked the question, Tebus calmly replied.
"This matter will be explained in detail at the high-level meeting tomorrow. I am feeling slightly unwell today, so I will not be joining you for the meal."
"Mr. Tebus, where is President Mu now?" Shen Li asked worriedly.
Mu Qing had just said she was going out to pick up Tebus, but when Tebus arrived, she didn't come with him. And then Tebus suddenly announced such an important matter. She felt that something must have happened.
She needed to see Mu Qing in person to get to the bottom of things.
Tebus glanced at Shen Li indifferently.
“Miss Shen Li, I think it would be better for you not to see him right now.”
After leaving behind some meaningful words, Tebs left with his two assistants.
Shen Li stood there, her face solemn, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She vaguely sensed a deeper meaning in Tebus's words. Mu Qing must have angered Tebus, which was why he was ruthlessly fired.
If she continues to associate with Mu Qing, it could very well affect her future prospects.
She began to feel conflicted, torn between her job and the man she had loved for many years.
She hesitated, unsure which side to choose.
At this moment, after a moment of silence, General Manager Zhao walked up to Shen Li and whispered, "It seems that President Mu is completely finished this time. If we want to continue working at Aifu, we have to sever ties with him. Shen Li, I know you have always liked him, but right now you need to think carefully about whether you want work or love more."
Shen Li stood there, Zhao's words still echoing in her mind.

As Tebus stepped out of his detached villa, his assistant received a phone call.
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, the assistant walked over to Tebus's side.
"Mr. Tebus, Du Muchen has already left."
"How is Mu Qing?" Tebus did not slow down and continued walking out.
The assistant said, "His left hand was severed by Du Muchen's men, leaving him completely crippled. However, Du Muchen did not take his life but instead ordered him to be sent to you so you can dispose of him as you see fit."
Upon hearing this, a hint of reluctance finally appeared in the old man's calm and resolute eyes.
He had raised this child himself, because he was exceptionally intelligent, so he had high hopes for him from a young age.
At this moment, the old man suddenly felt a pang of self-reproach. Perhaps he also bore some responsibility for Mu Qing's current predicament. He was not a qualified mentor, only providing the child with material assistance but failing to offer spiritual education and support. This led to Mu Qing developing such a short-sighted and ruthless personality.
"Let's arrange for him to stay at the manor and have a medical team come to our home to give him a proper treatment."
The assistant hesitated slightly.
“Mr. Tebus, the other party may not thank you for what you did. Perhaps, based on my understanding of Mu Qing, he already resents you for not saving him.”
Tebus laughed fearlessly.
"I don't care what he thinks. This is the last time I'll help him. Let's just say it's fate that we've known each other for decades."
The assistant nodded admiringly.
"I see."
Suddenly remembering something important, the assistant continued, "Our people just said that one of Du Muchen's henchmen seems to have connections with the Gu family."
Tebus was slightly surprised to hear about the Gu family.
How could someone from the Gu family be walking with Du Muchen?
Although the Du family holds a prestigious position in China, the Gu family, as the largest and most mysterious clan in O state, would not stoop so low as to serve as bodyguards for others.
Because the Tebus family and the Gu family had very close ties of interest, Tebus became alarmed when he learned of the Gu family's appearance.
"What kind of person is he?"
"Take a look at this." The assistant took out his phone, which showed a video sent by his subordinate.
Tebus clicked on the video, and the scene was a forest.
A slender figure was surrounded by more than a dozen burly men, yet, as if divinely inspired, he easily dealt with them all.
He was as agile as lightning, his moves were unpredictable, and there seemed to be an invisible and powerful force gathering around him, making it difficult for anyone to get close to him.
"This person's fighting style is very similar to the ancient martial arts secrets of the Guwu clan, but there are some differences. I am not sure if he is a member of the Gu clan, but I am certain of one thing: he must have some kind of connection with the Gu family."
His assistant's words rang in his ears, and Tebus's gaze was fixed intently on the agile figure on the video, as swift and powerful as a cheetah.
Although the surrounding environment was dark and blurry, one could still vaguely see the moves he made, which were indeed somewhat similar to those of the Gu family.
After a moment of contemplation, Tebus said, "Investigate this person's background."
"yes!"
Although Tebus has had cooperation and business dealings with the Gu family over the years, the person he has been in contact with is not a descendant of the Gu family, but a person similar to a steward in the Gu family.
He was a man in his sixties, elegant yet reserved and profound, intelligent and cunning.
Tebus had been interested in the Gu family since he was a child and had been secretly watching the family. However, despite cooperating with the Gu family for decades, he had never met the head of the Gu family. Even the descendants who were in real power rarely showed up. The only person who appeared to negotiate with him was the butler.
Even though he was just a butler, Tebus could tell that this person held a certain position in the Gu family.
Therefore, the old man was greatly interested when he saw the hidden expert beside Du Muchen.
If this person is indeed a member of the Gu family, or has some close relationship with the Gu family, perhaps we can learn more about the internal situation of the Gu family through this person.

On the bus
Su Peishan took out a medical kit from the back of the car, opened it, and took out hemostatic and disinfectant drugs and gauze.
She unscrewed the cap of the iodine solution, lifted her eyelids, and glared at Du Muchen.
Seeing that he was wearing a pullover hoodie with tapered cuffs, it was necessary to take off the hoodie to treat his wound.
"Take off your clothes."
Du Muchen was resting with his eyes closed. Actually, the iron rod really hurt a lot, but because this woman was by his side, even though he was sweating profusely from the pain, he absolutely could not utter a sound.
