"Brother Zhibai, where are you going? Aren't you going to sleep?" Her voice came from behind.
"I'm handling some official business," he replied without turning his head.
The smile on Sheng Xin's face gradually faded, and her eyes turned gray. No one could understand what she was thinking.
That night, Murong Mo returned to the apartment where Murong's mother was temporarily staying.
Murong Tong used to live here, but she's not home tonight.
"Where is my sister?" Murong Mo asked.
“She’s been busy these past few days; she either comes home late or doesn’t come home at all.”
As she answered, Murong's mother brought her son a bowl of bird's nest soup.
There was no housekeeper in the apartment; the bird's nest was stewed by Murong's mother herself.
Murong Mo didn't want to eat, but not wanting to waste his mother's good intentions, he sat down.
Murong's mother sat down as well and asked, "Have you been getting along well with Fanyan these past two days?"
A smile appeared in Murong Mo's eyes: "It was very pleasant."
"Mom, I want to thank you for supporting me and Fanyan being together."
Murong's mother smiled too; as long as her son was happy, she was happy.
Besides, Gu Fanyan is a good girl.
When Murong's mother got down to business, she asked, "Do you know what your sister Tong has been busy with lately?"
Murong Mo shook his head blankly, "What happened?"
Since Mom brought it up, there must be something unusual about it.
Murong's mother said, "Although Tongtong is in charge of some business at the head office, I asked your father, and her business does not involve this city."
"But she's been extremely busy these past few days. I overheard her making a phone call once; it seemed like she was handling some business."
"But when I asked her, she said I misheard and that it was just a phone call with someone at the company."
Murong Mo thought for a moment and said, "Then maybe that's how it is."
Murong's mother shook her head, "I trust my intuition."
She lowered her voice: "Xiao Mo, you don't manage the family business, so there are some things you don't know. Your uncle has always had a problem with your father, always saying that he should be in charge of more business."
"I think his real intention is to control the entire Murong family's business."
"I'll ask Sister Tongtong later." Murong Mo wanted to share some of the burden with his parents.
Murong's mother nodded, "Tongtong takes good care of you, so the two of you should be able to have a good chat."
Murong Mo returned to his room and couldn't fall asleep for a long time, thinking about how to talk to Murong Tong.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Murong's mother opened the door and exchanged a few words with the person who came in.
Murong Mo recognized the person as Murong's mother's assistant, so he got up and went to the living room.
The assistant must have come looking for me at this hour because it's urgent.
Sure enough, the assistant said, "Madam, young master, I just found out something. Miss Tong is going to ship a batch of goods out from here. She told the logistics company that the Gu family is also involved in this shipment."
Murong's mother was stunned. Her guess was confirmed. Murong Tong had indeed been secretly making trouble.
They're actually doing business under the Gu family's name.
"What kind of goods are these?" Murong's mother asked.
The assistant shook his head: "Miss Tong is very tight-lipped. I tried everything but couldn't get any information out of her."
Murong's mother's heart sank immediately; the more this was the case, the more it proved there was a problem.
“I’ve turned a blind eye to her and her father’s attempts to tamper with things at the company, but she’s using the Gu family’s name, and I can’t tolerate that.”
Murong's mother made a quick decision and instructed her assistant: "Tell the master about this immediately. Also, take me to see the young master's uncle."
“Mom, I’ll go with you,” Murong Mo said.
Murong's mother shook her head: "It's no use you going to see your uncle. I'll go talk to him and make sure we stop this shipment from leaving the country."
Murong Mo thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go find Sister Tongtong and talk to her."
Murong's mother nodded.
So the mother and son went to the parking lot and prepared to go their separate ways.
Murong's mother got into the car, rolled down the window, and looked at her son in the other car: "Xiao Mo, you don't understand the company's business. After you meet Tongtong, you don't need to say too much. Just stop her from doing things under the Gu family's name."
Murong Mo nodded.
Then, he closed the car window and drove the car forward.
As the car drove away, Murong's mother sighed softly, "I never imagined my uncle's ambitions were so great, that he would actually try to sabotage Xiao Mo's marriage. Does he underestimate how much my husband and I care about Xiao Mo?"
The assistant reassured him, "The Gu family is such a powerful family; if someone can rely on them, who can't?"
Sometimes, we can't resist temptation because the temptation is just too great.
While driving, Murong Mo dialed Murong Tong's number via Bluetooth.
A moment later, Murong Tong answered the phone: "Xiao Mo? What's up so late?"
"Sister, where are you? Can we meet?"
"It's too late, let's talk about it tomorrow."
"I'm out now. Give me an address and I'll come right away."
"Okay, I'll send you my location."
Murong Tong hung up the phone, looking worried.
She thought for a moment and then sent Murong Mo the location of a hotel.
"What's going on?" A figure emerged from the dim light; it was Yun Wanqing.
The two women were at the cargo terminal, with a large number of containers behind them, which were the goods they were preparing to ship out this time.
“Murong Mo wants to see me, he seems very anxious, I guess they already know about this,” Murong Tong said.
"I'll go to the hotel to see him later and try to cover things up as much as possible."
Yun Wanqing raised an eyebrow: "What else is there to hide? Load the goods onto the ship immediately and get it out of the dock. It won't matter what they say then."
Murong Tong exclaimed in surprise, "We had arranged with Boss Qu to load the goods tomorrow afternoon."
Yun Wanqing smiled: "I'm on guard, just in case something unexpected happens. Don't worry, I've already made arrangements with the people at Boss Qu's company. I only need to make one call, and they can be loaded onto the ship immediately."
Murong Tong was overjoyed: "That's great, you've thought of everything."
She immediately made a decision: "Okay, load it onto the ship right away."
Yun Wanqing made a phone call, and sure enough, a few people arrived shortly afterward, and the dock began to bustle with activity.
Murong Tong and Yun Wanqing were very excited as they watched the containers being loaded into the ship.
"Once this shipment reaches its destination, we'll make a fortune."
“That’s right. Once this road is cleared, we can keep making money.”
Murong Tong and Yun Wanqing had not known each other for very long.
This story begins on the day Gu Fanyan and Murong Mo got engaged.
That day, Murong Tong received an anonymous text message and discovered that Gu Fanyan had such a past. She immediately made a scene about it.
Ostensibly, the gathering was intended to convene the elders of the Murong family to discuss countermeasures, but in reality, it was to pressure Murong Mo into canceling his marriage to Gu Fanyan.
If Murong Mo successfully marries Gu Fanyan, his parents' power and status in the Mu family will only increase.
However, Murong Mo and his mother didn't seem to care at all, and even supported Gu Fanyan.
They want to erase this matter completely.
Therefore, she had to think of other solutions.
So she secretly put sleeping pills into Murong's water when Murong's mother left the rest room.
She planned to frame Gu Fanyan's ex-boyfriend, hoping to stir up trouble.
