Hearing that Mu Chengxi called for a meeting at the Enforcement Hall, everyone’s faces fell. They assumed that in the presence of Old Madam Mu, Mu Chengxi would certainly give them, the elders, sface.
But if they went to the Enforcement Hall, there would be no distinction between uncles and nephews; the only distinction would be between the family head and the common members.
“I won’t go. I’m here to seek justice for my son. Mu Lei’s arm was broken by that… by Wen Xin. I want her to cout and apologize. Otherwise, this matter won’t be over, even with Mu Chengxi’s protection!”
Mu Jingang shouted in the old madam’s living room, raising his voice. He dared not confront Mu Chengxi directly, which was why he cto make a fuss in front of the old madam. Otherwise, he would have gone straight to Mu Chengxi’s courtyard to demand an explanation.
Now, they were being asked to go to the Enforcement Hall, but how could they possibly agree? Once there, only Mu Chengxi’s word would matter.
Mu Dong, observing Mu Jingang’s arrogant behavior, hesitated for a moment before stepping out of the living room to the corridor to call Mu Chengxi.
“Master Xi, the elder doesn’t want to go to the Enforcement Hall. He says this isn’t a matter for the Mu family; he just wants to get justice for young master Mu Zhan and demands an apology from Miss Wen.”

Mu Chengxi might not be so unyielding in other matters. After all, he had to give the old madam sface. However, regarding Wen Xin’s matter, even if the heavens were to come, he would not be able to compromise.
Mu Chengxi waited in the Enforcement Hall for half an hour without seeing a single person arrive, only to see Mu Dong hurry in.
“Master Xi, Sir has arrived, and those people left the old madam’s courtyard cursing after a few words with Sir, none daring to cto the Enforcement Hall.
Mu Dong had witnessed the ugly faces of those people throughout the ordeal. Fortunately, the old madam wasn’t upset, otherwise it could have made her ill from anger.
“Cursing and leaving? Do they think they can just leave without considering me? I am the head of the Mu family, after all, right?”
Mu Chengxi sat casually in the chair, his gaze coldly sweeping over the people in the Enforcement Hall, his lips curling into a strange smile.
“Send word—those who don’t appear in the Enforcement Hall within twenty minutes will be expelled from the Mu family. If there are any objections, they can cand speak toface to face.”
After Mu Chengxi’s order, Mu Jingdong, who had been sitting beside him, cast a complicated look at him. He wondered what got into this kid today to lose his patience like this.
Noticing Mu Jingdong’s gaze, Mu Chengxi turned his head toward him, “What is it, Fifth Uncle?”
“Nothing much. I was just thinking you’ve been patient for so long. Is it a bit hasty to act now? After all, many things are still unclear.”
Mu Dong echoed from Mu Jingdong’s side, “Yeah, Master Xi, we haven’t fully caught their weakness yet, and we still have to consider the old madam. They were saying there wouldn’t be a next tas they left. You know what that means better than I do, right?”
Mu Chengxi’s gaze turned icy as he looked at Mu Dong, who quickly bowed his head and dared not speak further. He knew he had displeased Master Xi with his words. He had only spoken the truth and didn’t think he had done anything wrong.
“Chengxi, we need to send someone to City C. Who do you think is appropriate for the job?”
Mu Jingdong, feeling the tension from Mu Chengxi’s stare, hurriedly changed the subject, hoping to prevent any further blon Mu Dong.
“How many days will it take?”
Sure enough, Mu Jingdong’s words successfully diverted Mu Chengxi’s attention. Mu Chengxi turned his head to look at him, fiddling with a pen in his fingers, lightly tapping on the table.
“About three days. They need to bring back a batch of goods, nothing too troublesome…” Mu Jingdong said, feeling the pressure of speaking with Mu Chengxi, whose mere gaze could be daunting.

After Mu Chengxi left, Mu Jingdong gave Mu Dong a raised eyebrow look, smiling awkwardly, “I helped you out of your predicament, but I seem to have angered your Master Xi.”
Mu Dong, already accustomed to his master’s temper, smiled faintly, “Master Xi’s temper comes and goes quickly. Fifth Uncle, please arrange for two people to accompany me. I will make a quick trip and return. I still need to protect Miss Wen at Mr. Ou’s birthday banquet. It would be too late otherwise.”
“Chengxi is taking Wen Xin to Mr. Ou’s birthday banquet? Isn’t that inappropriate?” Mu Jingdong had heard that the old madam had acknowledged Wen Xin as her granddaughter-in-law, but taking Wen Xin to the Ou family seemed somewhat unsuitable.
“It’s not Master Xi who’s taking Miss Wen to Mr. Ou’s birthday banquet. Mr. Ou and Miss Wen know each other personally. He specifically invited Miss Wen to his birthday banquet…”
Mu Dong’s words seemed to drop like a bomb for Mu Jingdong, prompting him to ponder the background of this girl. She knew Mr. Ou personally and was even personally invited by him to his birthday banquet, which was truly unbelievable.
In the capital, people would break their heads for a chance to attend Mr. Ou’s birthday party, yet they had no opportunity, whereas Wen Xin was personally invited by Mr. Ou, which was beyond belief.
“What kind of background does Mu Chengxi’s girlfriend have? Give Uncle Five sinside information, and I’ll take care of you in the future!”
Mu Jingdong looked at Mu Dong shrewdly, trying to extract ssecrets. Wen Xin was too mysterious; although she wasn’t involved in the community of martial artists, it seemed everyone related to her was.
Confronted with Mu Jingdong’s probing eyes, Mu Dong shook his head emphatically, “Uncle Five, that’s a bit too much. It’s like sendinginto a trap. Even if I knew anything about Miss Wen, I wouldn’t tell you. Don’t setup!”
“You’re not as easy to talk to as Mu Bei. He’s much more straightforward than you,” Mu Jingdong huffed at Mu Dong, feeling that Mu Dong was too clever, unlike Mu Bei, who was easier to fool.
“Exactly, Uncle Five, you’re right. Do you know why I’m in the capital, and Mu Bei is stuck in Ice City? It’s all because he’s too naive, saying anything that comes to mind and angered Master Xi. That’s why he can’t return from Ice City.”
Mu Dong looked at Mu Jingdong with a triumphant smile, not foolish enough to take Mu Jingdong’s bait. Whether Mu Jingdong could protect him or not, he hadn’t forgotten his loyalty to Mu Chengxi..
