illicit relationship

The following morning, Xiao Tian headed to the abandoned factory after eating breakfast with Su Ruanyi and her mother.

He talked with his underlings and asked about the progress of their plans. He also chatted with Mu Zen's wife for a few minutes.

Like yesterday, he told her what they would do if her husband refused to confess everything later.

Cai Shan was terrified after hearing his words. She did not expect him to be so cruel like that. 

He even said he would kidnap and kill their family if Mu Zen refused to confess. 

At that time, she really hoped her husband would confess everything because it was related to the safety of their family.

Fu Family House, Living Room.

In the living room, two people around forty-two years old were sitting on the couch with happy faces; a man and a woman.

The middle-aged man had white hair while the middle-aged woman had blue hair. From their smile, anyone could tell right away that they were in a good mood. 

The smile on their faces grew bigger when they remembered what had happened to the Su family corner shop.

Yes, these people were the masterminds of what had happened to the Su family corner shop.

These two people were none other than Fu Xiong and his wife, Lei Qing.

"Since we slandered the Su family corner shop, our sales have increased greatly." Fu Xiong laughed happily after saying this.

"Your idea is great, husband." Lei Qing praised her husband.

At the same time, a young man around nineteen years old stepped into the living room with tea and snacks in his hands. "Father, mother, here are the tea and snacks."

He was Fu Xiong's son, Fu Zhiqiang. Lei Qing and Fu Xiong immediately sipped their tea.

Fu Xiong looked at his son and spoke, "Zhiqiang, let's go to the game store later. I will buy you the game you've always wanted."

"Really?" Fu Zhiqiang asked happily.

"Yes." Fu Xiong nodded his head.

"Thank you, father." Fu Zhiqiang replied with sparkling eyes.

"But don't play a game all the time later." Fu Xiong did not want his son to play the game all the time because it would ruin his future.

"I understand, father." Fu Zhiqiang replied instantly.

"Good! Hahaha." Fu Xiong laughed happily again.

Fu Zhiqiang and Lei Qing also laughed.

Mu Huo, who was wearing a silicon head mask, traveled to the hospital to see Mu Zen. He wanted to know whether Mu Zen refused to confess everything or not.

The reason why he wore a silicon head mask was that he wanted to pretend to be Mu Zen's family.

He wanted to ask something important, so he did not want anyone to follow him because it could ruin everything later.

If he visited Mu Zen with the identity of his cousin, he believed that doctors and nurses would not be suspicious of him later.

Of course, it was Xiao Tian's idea. This was one of the reasons why Xiao Tian went to the abandoned factory after eating breakfast with Su Ruanyi and her mother.

And like what Xiao Tian had guessed, he could enter Mu Zen's room easily. He was even allowed to visit Mu Zen alone.

'Everything is according to the plan.'

Before entering the patient room, Mu Huo hid the voice recorder in his pocket.

*Click…

Mu Huo entered the room without knocking on the door.

Mu Zen was startled when he saw Mu Huo. He remembered that he had never met Mu Huo before.

"Who are you?" Mu Zen inquired.

"Lower your voice if you don't want to die!" Mu Huo said coldly.

Mu Zen's blood froze. 

'He is one of them!'

Because Mu Huo behaved coldly, Mu Zen knew that Huo was someone sent by the Su family.

At this moment, he suddenly recalled what happened last night. He remembered what Chun Hua said before she left.

"So, what is your answer?" Mu Huo went straight to the point.

Xiao Tian ordered him not to waste time because they had to kidnap Mu Zen's family if Mu Zen refused to confess everything.

Mu Zen clenched his fists. He had been thinking about this since last night because it was an important matter to him and his family.

"I…." at this moment, he still wanted to refuse, but the thought of his family dying suddenly appeared in his mind.

Chun Hua said they would kill his family if he refused to confess everything. That was why he wavered again.

"Make up your mind now!" like before, Mu Huo said coldly. "I don't have much time. If you don't make up your mind quickly, I will inform my boss to kill your wife first."

"No!" Mu Zen said in reflex. "I…I will reveal everything."

"Good!" Mu Huo was pleased with Mu Zen's decision. "Tell me everything now."

Mu Zen began to tell Mu Huo everything, from when the Fu family paid him until how he slandered the Su family corner shop.

He did not hide anything because it was related to the safety of his family. Sure, he knew he would end up in prison later, but at least he would not lose his family later.

'Yes. This is the best option.'

He was going to be imprisoned for a few years, but at least he could meet his family again after being released from prison.

If he refused to confess everything, not only would he lose his family, but his safety was also not guaranteed.

That was why revealing everything was the best option. After Mu Zen confessed everything, Mu Huo returned to the abandoned factory to meet Xiao Tian.

*Sigh…

Mu Zen looked at the sky through the window.

His heart was filled with sadness, and his eyes lost it natural shine. Because he had revealed everything, he knew what would happen to him later.

'At least, my family is safe now.'

He really regretted it.

If he could turn back time, he would refuse the Fu family's offer because the Su family was more terrifying than the Fu family.

'At least my fate is better than Han Zhi.'

Mu Zen felt lucky when he remembered what had happened to Han Zhi.

Not only did Han Zhi feel immense pain until now, but the Su family had also burned down his house.

'Han Zhi, we made the wrong decision this time.'

Even though Mu Zen had tried to accept everything, but some part of him wanted to escape from the hospital.

However, he changed his mind when he remembered that Mu Huo and the others would kill his family if he did that.

'I will take this as a lesson so that I won't make the same mistake in the future.'

Mu Zen promised he would become a good person from today onwards.

Abandoned Factory, Front Yard.

"How is it?" Xiao Tian inquired.

"He confessed everything, boss. You can hear it." Mu Huo gave the voice recorder to Xiao Tian.

After hearing it, a satisfied smile appeared on Xiao Tian's face. "Good."

Because Xiao Tian wanted to give the good news to Su Ruanyi and her mother immediately, he went straight to their house.

'There, they are.'

Xiao Tian saw Su Ruanyi and her mother sitting on the couch in the living room.

After sitting on the sofa, Xiao Tian immediately spoke, "Professor Su, auntie, I have good news."
