A minute later, Butler Mu entered.

Beside him, Mo Zhihuai still greeted him politely, but Butler Mu was too shocked to even dare to speak freely. He only greeted Mo Zhihuai cautiously.

Needless to say, the Mo and Liu families of Shanghai were too iconic. Although their reign hadn’t been as long, their position in Shanghai was equivalent to the four major families in Beijing.

The Mu family’s roots were shallow and couldn’t be compared to the Mo family no matter which aspect it was. The Mu family only floated in the upper-middle tier of Shanghai and was incomparable to top giants like the Mo family.

The reason why Mu Zining had such a good reputation in Shanghai and in the Mu family wasn’t just because she was a comics author, but also because she was familiar with the Third Young Master of the Mo family.

Thus, he had greeted Mo Zhihuai very politely upon seeing him at Qin Ran’s place.

Butler Mu couldn’t help but remember how on the first day he came to Shanghai, Qin Ran had rejected his offer to send her off, saying that she had friends in Shanghai...

Could it have been Third Young Master Mo?

Butler Mu was still thinking about this when Cheng Mu handed him a cup of tea.

“Please sit down for a while. Madam is still talking to Mr. Ma.” Cheng Mu handed two cups of tea to Butler Mu and Mo Zhihuai respectively, then picked up the phone that he had put down and continued playing his game.

Mr. Ma?

Neither Mo Zhihuai nor Butler Mu had heard of Mr. Ma, and they followed Cheng Mu’s gaze to look at the balcony.

Qin Ran had her back to them and was speaking on her mobile phone, her expression and voice unclear.

The two of them curbed their curiosity and just sat cautiously with their teacups. Butler Mu didn’t dare to sit next to Mo Zhihuai and settled down beside Cheng Mu on the opposite side.

Sitting not far from Cheng Mu, Mo Zhihuai chatted idly with him. He was good at socializing and also knew that the people following Qin Ran weren’t simple characters.

Butler Mu didn’t attempt to join the conversation, but his eyes were attracted by the fancy game on Cheng Mu’s phone. “This game seems quite interesting. What game is it?”

The game had a villain that crashed through barriers and slowly cultivated skills. This type of game was rather peculiar and really attracted Butler Mu. “What is it called? I want to let my granddaughter play too.”

Butler Mu pushed his reading glasses.

Cheng Mu shook his head and explained to him, “This is a game that Madam’s younger brother designed. It won a special prize in the international youth group, but he didn’t sell the copyright, so it’s not available on the market. If you like it, you can add my WeChat, and I’ll send it to you.”

Holding his mobile phone, Butler Mu froze and was speechless.

Mo Zhihuai didn’t seem surprised and just laughed. “How old is Miss Qin’s brother?” he asked curiously.

Based on Qin Ran’s superb IT performance, it was only normal for her brother to be able to develop games.

“He’s 12 this year,” Cheng Mu said casually.

Qin Ling had been studying abroad with Tang Jun and rarely returned to China in the past two years. Because he followed Qin Ran, Qin Ling had contacted him more often. However, he rarely contacted him recently, presumably because he was busy with Tang Jun’s training.

Cheng Mu wasn’t clear about the specific details.

He was thinking about something when he was suddenly surprised to feel two pairs of eyes staring at him.

Looking up, he saw that both Butler Mu and Mo Zhihuai were staring at him.

“What’s the matter?” He scratched his head.

Butler Mu and Mo Zhihuai were both speechless.

After a long while, Cheng Mu realized in hindsight that they were probably marveling at Qin Ling’s age...

He added Butler Mu on WeChat and sent him the game.

Butler Mu stayed at Qin Ran’s place for nearly an hour and left after convincing her to go to the Mu family.

On the way back, he sat in the car thinking about life, and he was so solemn that his chauffeur glanced at him curiously.

When he returned home, he happened to bump into Mu Zining, who was talking to Old Master Mu.

After the incident about the convenient reading, Mu Zining had become less arrogant than before and had started to contact other people actively. After all, she was the screenwriter of “The Realm of Gods” and had enough authority for people to give her face.

“You’ll have to apologize sincerely to Third Young Master Mo. He’ll probably forgive you,” Old Master Mu coughed and said solemnly to her. “Businessmen always place their interests first. You should just lay low for now in the media and wait for this wave to blow over. We still have the big pharmaceutical project in our hands. Even if we ignore the Mo family, there’ll still be others.”

“Young Master Mo doesn’t want to see me now.” Mu Zining sighed. She saw Butler Mu out of the corner of her eye and asked, “Butler Mu, where have you been?”

“He went to invite Xiao Nan’s cousin to our house.” Old Master Mu also turned to him. “Butler Mu, has she agreed?”

Butler Mu looked up at them. “She...”

“Grandpa, I still have an appointment with Mr. Xu. You guys can talk first.” Upon hearing them mention Mu Nan and his cousin, Mu Zining took her bag, nodded slightly towards Old Master Mu, and left.

She was now busy repairing her relationship with the Mo family and building connections like a spinning top.

She really wasn’t interested in Mu Nan and his cousin.

Butler Mu naturally paused and stopped talking.

Once Mu Zining had left, he turned back to Old Master Mu.

“His cousin didn’t agree?” Old Master Mu looked at his expression and was worried.

“That’s not it, she said she’ll come.” Butler Mu shook his head and looked quietly at Old Master Mu. “I just wanted to say that I saw Young Master Mo at his cousin’s place...”

“Cough, cough...” Upon hearing this, Old Master Mu choked on the warm water that he was drinking.

Butler Mu explained it from beginning to end.

Standing at the side, Project Director Mu was extremely surprised. “I don’t know who Mu Nan’s cousin is, but... Didn’t Miss Zining want to contact Young Master Mo...”

“Enough.” Old Master Mu shook his head and put down the cup onto the table. “Let’s stop discussing Xiao Nan’s cousin.”

He wanted to repair his relationship with Mu Nan, not make him and his cousin feel like their Mu family were trying to take advantage of them.

Butler Mu and Project Director Mu both knew what Old Master Mu was thinking. They exchanged glances and both remained silent.

...

Two more days passed.

This year, Old Master Mu didn’t hold a big birthday celebration. He didn’t make a big deal of his birthday and only planned to bring a few close people to the Mu family’s house.

At 8 am, all the Mu family juniors had come to brush up on their favorable impressions.

Even Mu Zining and Mu Zongxi, who had always been busy, didn’t go out.

Old Master Mu got dressed and received a wave of blessings from the juniors. Then, he sat down in the garden downstairs and asked the butler, “Why hasn’t Xiao Nan come yet?”

Standing beside him and making ginseng tea, Butler Mu said, “Young Master seems to be rather busy these days. I haven’t received any news from his cousin, either.”

Old Master Mu sighed. “I don’t know what this kid is busy with.”

While the two were discussing, Butler Mu’s cell phone rang.

He looked down to see an unfamiliar number, and then picked up.

He stayed silent and listened to the other end of the phone.

Bam—

Butler Mu’s cup fell directly to the ground, and his expression changed drastically. His body became unstable and he almost fell over. “What?!”

“What’s the matter?” Old Master Mu had a bad premonition inside.

Trembling, Butler Mu could hardly hold the phone still. He supported himself with one hand on the chair, and then looked at Old Master Mu in shock. “Young, Young Master...”

He was too terrified to speak properly.

“What happened to Young Master?!” The old man’s heart was twisting into a ball of worry.

Butler Mu’s complexion paled. “Young Master Mu Nan and the others have been... kidnapped... I just received a phone call from the kidnappers. They demand 50 million as remuneration...”

50 million yuan wasn’t difficult for the Mu family, but it was indeed not easy to come out with 50 million liquid money.

However, Old Master Mu would pay no matter what. His heart burning in anxiety, Old Master Mu covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed several times. He thought about what happened to his most outstanding son Mu Zongyuan 10 years ago and said anxiously, “Go! Get ready! Find a bank!”

Finding liquid money was difficult, but it wasn’t difficult to obtain a bank loan.

Old Master Mu had a lot of private properties under his name, which could be used to mortgage 50 million yuan.

In order to collect 50 million yuan as quickly as possible, he even opened his safe and contacted the bank. As for the police...

Old Master Mu didn’t dare to gamble on Mu Zongyuan’s only offspring and didn’t even dare to mention it to too many people.

The 50 million yuan raised was quickly transferred over.

An hour later, Butler Mu received a message on his mobile phone with the address of an abandoned construction site.

Since the summit was still ongoing, there was a traffic jam in Shanghai. When Old Master Mu, Butler Mu, and a few people hurried over, it was already two hours later at midnight.

Only Mu Nan was there, Ning Wei was nowhere in sight. Mu Nan didn’t look good, and he was leaning against the wall with a USB flash drive in his hand, his expression unclear.

He was wearing a black shirt and had blood running down his fingers.

The moment he saw him, the body that Old Master Mu had been supporting all the way here finally collapsed, and he fell straight down.

Mu Nan was also barely holding on.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and handed the USB flash drive to Butler Mu. “Hand this over to the police station, and... My mom... Find my brother-in-law...”

He barely finished the sentence before falling to the ground.

The Mu family was in complete turmoil!

“Hospital!” Butler Mu supported them both. “Send Old Master Mu and Young Master to the hospital!”

...

In the hospital.

Butler Mu paced to and fro in front of the emergency room, where Mu Nan and Old Master Mu were inside.

To his side, Mu Zongxi hurried over from home with a look of urgency and no signs of strangeness on his face. “Butler Mu, what happened to dad? Why is he in the hospital? Is he alright?”

Butler Mu looked down at his phone and said roughly, “Master Xiao Nan was kidnapped, and Madam Ning is still missing...”

“You didn’t inform the police?” Mu Zongxi’s eyes flickered.

Butler Mu didn’t notice his expression and just slid down the wall onto the ground. “No, we can’t call the police. We just transferred 50 million yuan...”

The Mu family was well-connected and wasn’t considered weak in Shanghai, but they hadn’t found any news of the kidnappers.

He had contacted people he knew, but couldn’t even find the surveillance cameras.

In such circumstances, it could only mean that the kidnappers... had someone supporting them.

Butler Mu really didn’t dare to call the police for fear that the kidnappers would really murder them in anger.

Butler Mu’s mind was now in a jumble. He quickly thought of Mu Nan’s words and hastily took out his mobile phone to call his cousin.

He was about to make a call when his phone rang.

It was Qin Ran’s attendant, Cheng Mu? He directly picked up.

“Butler Mu.” It was Cheng Mu’s voice on the other end. “Where are you all? The maid said that you’re not at home?”

Just as Butler Mu was about to speak, the emergency door opened.

A nurse came out from inside, pulled off her mask, and said solemnly, “My apologies, the patient’s cells have been inactivated. We can’t figure out the cause behind it. We’ll arrange an ambulance to send him to Beijing. There might be a solution there. Please make a decision as soon as possible.”

The nurse’s voice wasn’t low, and Cheng Mu heard it on the phone.

He leaned against the car door and looked at the Mu family’s villa. “Butler Mu, whose cells are inactivated?” he asked solemnly.

University S’s affiliated hospital didn’t dare to take Mu Nan in as a patient.

Butler Mu almost fainted. University S’s affiliated hospital was the best hospital in Shanghai, and if even they didn’t dare to accept him...

His blood ran cold and he stuttered, “We’re in Hospital S. Young, Young Master Xiao Nan has...”

Cheng Mu’s expression changed drastically, and his brain buzzed noisily. Standing up abruptly, he first glanced at Qin Ran sitting in the car. She had her eyes closed and was leaning against the door of the car.

Cheng Mu couldn’t help but lower his voice and say solemnly, “Butler Mu, call the doctor.”

Perhaps Cheng Mu’s aura was too strong, but Butler Mu subconsciously handed the phone to the nurse.

As soon as the nurse reported the case, she heard a male voice say, “Send me the report.”

Stunned, she quickly sent him the case slip.

At the same time.

On the last day of the summit in Shanghai, Cheng Juan was communicating with a group of people when his cell phone rang.

He looked down to read the message, and his face suddenly changed color.

“Sorry, I have matters to attend to.” He excused himself and left directly.

After going out, he drove directly to the hospital. He put on his Bluetooth headset and dialed Cheng Tu, his voice terrifyingly calm. “Where are you?”
