When Mu He returned to prison, he was restless and paced back and forth. He was really afraid that after he got out, the Mu family would go bankrupt, or that he would lose everything.
Two years is a long time; so much can change in that time.
Thinking about all this, he suddenly felt a bit resentful towards Mu Youyi. If she hadn't brainwashed him into sending Luosang to Si Tianrui's bed, none of this would have happened.
Losang is back. She's so beautiful; we could openly and legitimately arrange a marriage between her and someone else.
How could things have gotten to this point?
A tall, thin man with a shaved head and handsome features, who shared a room with Mu He, glanced at him and said, "Didn't you go to see your family? Why are you still walking around here?"
Mu He shuddered upon hearing this. Although he had only been here for a few days, he had witnessed this seemingly weak man fight before.
They beat him to death, so no one in the prison dared to provoke this man named Geng Zhiwen.
Meeting Geng Zhiwen's indifferent and ruthless eyes, Mu He swallowed hard, took two steps back, and chuckled awkwardly, not really wanting to reveal his secrets.
Upon seeing this, Geng Zhiwen sneered: "I know you, the president of the Mu Group. The person you went to see today was your father, wasn't it?"
Mentioning Mu Shen, Geng Zhiwen scoffed: "Your father is absolutely the most hypocritical person in the world."
"Shut up." Mu He couldn't help but rebuke him when he heard him talk about his father like that, even though they were the only two people in the room. "You don't know my dad, so what gives you the right to speak about him like that?"
"Don't you recognize him?" Geng Zhiwen laughed heartily. "Don't you recognize him?"
"How do you know I don't know him?" He slowly walked up to Mu He. His height of 1.9 meters and his powerful aura put some pressure on Mu He.
Mu He had only one thought in his mind: the person in front of him was not simple.
Geng Zhiwen looked Mu He up and down, then smiled and said, "No wonder you were schemed against so badly. In the end, after becoming the scapegoat, you were still grateful to your father."
Mu He's heart skipped a beat: "What, what do you mean by this?"
What scapegoat?
"Have you heard of Mu Chenxi from Shanghai?" Geng Zhiwen laughed even harder when he saw Mu He's expression. "It's been over twenty years, and you still haven't noticed. Mu He, Mu He, I finally understand why Mu Shen gave up on you and chose to play an alternate account."
"You're a complete idiot. Seriously, even a pile of shit is smarter than you."
Geng Zhiwen's words were like a sharp knife stabbing into Mu He's heart. He stared intently at the other man and asked through gritted teeth, "What alt account?"
"Don't you understand?" Geng Zhiwen sat back on his bed, leaning against the side, his long legs casually stretched out. He suppressed all his imposing aura, appearing lazy and relaxed.
He pointed at Mu He: "Mu Shen has an illegitimate son who was raised in Shanghai since he was a child. He is now in his twenties, graduated from a prestigious foreign university, and is now a manager of a listed company. He is quick-witted, capable, and highly valued by his superiors."
"Mu Shen only paid for his education and sent him abroad to study. He didn't help him with anything at work. At such a young age, he earned a million-dollar annual salary through his own abilities."
"You are no match for Mu Chenxi at all."
Mu He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He took two steps back, staggering and looking rather disheveled: "No, no, it's impossible."
"What's impossible?" Geng Zhiwen saw that he was still unwilling to accept reality, so he added fuel to the fire: "By the way, some insiders said that Mu Chenxi is an illegitimate child, but that's not the case."
"Mu Shen really went to great lengths for this youngest son. He registered his marriage with Mu Chenxi's mother before the boy was born, and only divorced after the boy was born and registered in the household. The whole process took less than two months, so very few people know about it."
Mu He looked at Geng Zhi and asked, "Then how did you know about this?"
"Me? Of course, it's because I have a grudge against Mu Chenxi. I went to jail because Mu Chenxi tricked me."
He wasn't angry as he said this; a faint smile remained on his face. But to Mu He, that smile was terrifying.
Sometimes, a smile doesn't necessarily mean kindness.
Geng Zhiwen said, "I never dreamed I would meet Mu Chenxi's brother here. What a coincidence!"
He drew out the last three words, looking directly at Mu He: "You agree, don't you?"
Mu He really wanted to say, "That's a joke."
"I can't possibly believe your one-sided account." Although she said this, she already believed Geng Zhiwen's words in her heart.
Before marrying He Xiling, the old man would travel to Shanghai every month on business, claiming that he needed to keep an eye on the business there.
It now seems that it wasn't that the business in Shanghai couldn't do without people, but rather that the old man had another home in Shanghai.
Thinking of this, Mu He felt a chill run down his spine.
If that's the case, I definitely won't have a place to stand when I go back.
He slumped onto the bed, wanting to say something, but found himself unable to utter a word.
Geng Zhiwen seemed to transform into a chatterbox and continued, "Before I came in, I heard that Mu Chenxi was dating the daughter of a high-ranking official. This daughter is also a capable person, and their marriage can be described as a powerful alliance."
"Look at you, you finally married An Nuan and had a powerful in-law family, but in the end, it all turned out like this." As he said this, Geng Zhiwen looked at Mu He with eyes full of sympathy.
And compassion.
Such a look deeply pierced Mu He's heart. He lay down on the bed, staring blankly at the bed board that he could reach.
Back then, he actually already had some feelings for An Nuan.
His beautiful, noble-born wife trusted him wholeheartedly, loved him, and relied on him, greatly satisfying his vanity as a man.
Moreover, the He family only has one descendant, An Nuan. After the two elders of the He family die, everything in the He family will belong to him, so he doesn't need to rack his brains to scheme.
Later, her father said that Zhang Xueqing had a hard time, staying alone in the country for his own sake.
Under his father's brainwashing, his mind gradually crumbled, and he eventually married Zhang Xueqing, then brutally murdered his wife, An Nuan.
All of this was planned and done by Mu Shen, but he was the one who carried it out. If you really want to investigate, you'll only find his way back to him.
After all, Mu Shen and An Nuan had no connection whatsoever.
As for instigation?
Without recordings or evidence, who would admit it?
"Haha, haha." Mu He laughed heartily, but as he laughed, tears streamed down his face: "So, I was just a joke."
