Be Gentle, My Master

At this moment, even if Feng Gang were to use those cold and hard methods again to control the situation, he would no longer be able to.

With so many people asking questions, who should the lawyer’s letter be sent to if it were actually sent?

Sir Mu stood up.

As soon as he stood up, his imposing aura still managed to calm many people down a bit.

Lord Mu, a respected figure in Jin City, most people would give him some face.

Of course, some who came specifically to stir up trouble naturally wouldn’t give him any face at all.

“Sir Mu, regarding the murder of Mu Canghai, would you please give an explanation?”

“Are you a police officer? Or a judge?” Sir Mu’s sharp eyes stared straight at him.

“You’re neither a police officer nor a judge, so on what grounds do you insist that I’m the murderer?”

“Everyone is free to ask questions, and I can answer them one by one. However, if you speak with certainty and label me, Mu, as a murderer, then I will personally instruct a lawyer to send a letter for defamation.”

The reporter’s face turned gloomy, but ultimately changed his tone.

“In that case, can Sir Mu explain why there are rumors outside saying that you not only killed someone but also embezzled the Mu Group’s assets?”

Sir Mu’s gaze once again swept over sharply.

Murder, and now embezzlement of assets; it didn’t need to be said, he already knew who sent this person.

The Mu Group is a publicly traded company, different from an ordinary family business.

Embezzling assets, that is a crime!

Facing everyone, Sir Mu’s voice remained calm and steady.

“This press conference is being held precisely to quell these rumors.”

“If there was evidence proving I did these things, could I still be standing here, speaking to you all now?”

“Rumors are just rumors; everyone here is wise enough to distinguish between rumors and facts.”

“Instances without evidence, when newspapers and magazines write recklessly, they are liable to bear legal responsibility. I hope everyone will consider this clearly.”

Sir Mu’s words brought silence among the reporters.

The previous commotion, who knows who started it, but now, everyone finally calmed down.

“The current situation with the Mu Group is very good; next year, various major projects will be launched one by one.

I hope that majority shareholders will not worry and do not believe in rumors.”

“The Mu Group will get better and better, and we will also…”

Suddenly, Sir Mu’s speech stopped.

At the main entrance of the press conference, a few figures walked in.

Just after entering, they spoke loudly: “This Sir Mu in front of you has embezzled the Mu Group’s assets, and we have proof!”

Feng Gang and Sir Mu’s hearts trembled.

Those few people…

all of them were the elders of the Mu Group whom Sir Mu considered most trustworthy!

…

Baili Xia had been pounding on the door for who knows how long, even her hands were about to bleed.

But on the outside, Mu Xiaoyao didn’t make a single move.

She couldn’t even hear a sound.

Since Second Brother went in, it seemed like he hadn’t come out.

Looking once more at the clock on the wall, it was almost time for lunch.

Baili Xia raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes.

By noon, someone would definitely come to bring her food.

She decided to bet, bet that Uncle and Second Brother wouldn’t truly ignore her entirely.

Turning back to the desk, she picked up the vase on the table and smashed it to the ground with force.

With a crash, the vase shattered into pieces.

Baili Xia picked up one of the shards and, without a second thought, slashed it hard across her arm…
