Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Mu Tiange Driven to Desperation
Early in the morning, the bright sunshine filled the room, making the lighting extremely good and giving a warm feeling when it shone on someone. However, at this moment, Mu Tiange felt no warmth at all; his whole body was engulfed by a chill that seemed to penetrate deep into his bones, causing the hairs on his body to stand on end.
This eerie atmosphere had persisted for half an hour, during which Mu Tiange sat motionless, seemingly soulless, off to the side.
Just half an hour ago, he had seen a video on the internet. It was about Ding Wanqiu, a video in which Ye Xunhuan had forced Ding Wanqiu to curse him.
In the video, Ding Wanqiu completely portrayed Mu Tiange as a despicable villain devoid of conscience and capable of all evils, while he presented himself as a steadfast and upright man.
And following the circulation of this video, news of Ding Wanqiu’s death was immediately released.
This made the words of Ding Wanqiu in the video immediately correlate with his death.
In the video, Ding Wanqiu had said, "As long as he is dead, this video will circulate!"
And now, Ding Wanqiu was dead.
This made Mu Tiange, even though he had rushed back to Jinmen overnight, restless and filled with fear.
The video had spread, and its impact had been growing worse, igniting a wildfire on the internet. His, Mu Tiange’s identity had been exposed online by someone, instantly causing a massive uproar. The whole internet had blown up, with all the netizens starting to verbally attack Mu Tiange and the entire Mu family of Jinmen!
In just a moment, the Mu family was pushed to the pinnacle of public opinion, becoming the target of countless insults and disdain.
At that moment, Mu Tiange fully understood what Ye Xunhuan meant by his earlier threat of reciprocity.
He had not anticipated that Ye Xunhuan could be so ruthless, pushing him to the brink of death and shoving the entire Mu family into the fire!
Unfortunately, Mu Tiange was unaware that all of this was being orchestrated by Willow Qing in the capital.
Willow Qing did not know exactly what had happened, but since Ye Xunhuan had given her this material, it meant there had been a conflict between Ye Xunhuan and Mu Tiange.
Although Ye Xunhuan had not said he would kill Mu Tiange, she would not let Mu Tiange off easily. Anyone who dared to harm her beloved would either die or live a life worse than death!
There were no other options.
"Buzz, buzz..."
Suddenly, a soft vibrating sound emitted from Mu Tiange’s phone, snapping him back to reality.
Mu Tiange, with an ugly expression, picked up his phone and his face changed dramatically when he saw the caller ID.
Because it was his grandfather, Mu Xiangming, calling!
Even though Mu Tiange was regarded as an exceptionally talented youth within the Mu family, Mu Xiangming had never called him before in his memory.
Now that Mu Xiangming had called, he didn’t need to guess to know what it was about!
After clearing his throat, Mu Tiange answered the phone with a trembling right hand.
He knew that what was coming would always come; there was no escaping it.
"Grandfather..."
"Tiange, did you see the video circulating online?" Mu Xiangming’s authoritative voice immediately came through.
"I ... I saw it!"
"Good, now give me an explanation!" Mu Xiangming directly demanded.
"Grandfather, this ... this is fake, I ... I did not collude with the Japanese, he is trying to frame me, frame me ..." Mu Tiange hurriedly said, "This has nothing to do with me at all, absolutely nothing!"
"Didn’t you find Ding Wanqiu? Didn’t you promise to be his protector?" asked Mu Xiangming coldly.
Although Mu Tiange was not part of the official system, relying on his ancestors’ clout, he had made many connections among the lower echelons. Being outside the system yet depending on his ancestral merits had allowed their red progeny to do things with almost no restraint.
Mu Xiangming knew this but didn’t interfere much. He believed his descendants knew their limits and wouldn’t play too dangerously.
But today, the internet had exploded like a frying pan, and his phone was almost ringing off the hook with numerous people calling him.
Together with Willow Qing pushing from behind, making the situation uncontrollable, it had reached the upper echelons, and the leaders had started paying attention to this matter.
It could be said that due to Ding Wanqiu’s video, both the Mu family and Mu Tiange himself had become famously infamous across the country.
Mu Xiangming knew the significance of this matter better than anyone, so he had to get clarity from Mu Tiange. He couldn’t let one individual jeopardize the entire Mu family!
Unable to help himself, Mu Tiange swallowed hard, "Grandfather, I..."
"Tiange, you have disappointed me greatly!" Mu Xiangming huffed, "Now that everyone is paying attention to this matter, you will definitely be taken away for investigation. I hope you understand what you should and shouldn’t say!"
"Grandfather, please save me, save me ..."
"I am powerless!" Mu Xiangming sighed softly, "Authorities have already been sent to Jiangzhong City for evidence. If the allegations are true, once your crime is confirmed—"
"Not just you, the entire Mu family will bear the blame of patronage."
"You need to fend for yourself now!"
Not that Mu Xiangming didn’t want to rage at Mu Tiange, but no amount of anger could remedy the situation at this point, and there was no possibility of suppressing this issue. 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
So, he could only silently wait for the investigation from above.
Of course, he wouldn’t sit idly by. He couldn’t just watch the entire Mu family be destroyed.
And his call was not to scold Mu Tiange or to save him, but to let him know how he should proceed next.
"Grandfather... Grandfather..."
Unfortunately, Mu Xiangming had already hung up, unable to hear Mu Tiange’s continued pleading.
For a moment, Mu Tiange’s face was ashen, his eyes lifeless, completely at a loss.
He had been abandoned, ruthlessly discarded by the Mu family. If the allegations were proven true, he could guarantee that he would be abandoned completely. He must carry this burden, even if it meant death.
"Ye Xunhuan, Ye Xunhuan..." Mu Tiange’s face twisted malevolently as he roared with venomous glare in his eyes: "Even if I die, I will become a vengeful spirit to haunt you!"
