CHAPTER 518: CHAPTER 518: LURING THE SNAKE OUT OF ITS HOLE

"What’s happened?"

Mrs. Shen immediately stood up.

Mayor Shen glanced outside, closed the door of the hospital room, and then walked heavily towards Mrs. Shen.

"Old man, don’t scare me, what on earth has happened?"

Mrs. Shen anxiously looked at the person on the hospital bed, then turned her nervous gaze towards Mayor Shen.

Could it be that the Mo Family is unwilling to cough up five billion and has sought help from someone else?

She had already said they couldn’t be too greedy; Mo Xingyuan is a businessman, and if they make him pay too much, he definitely wouldn’t be happy.

Two billion should be enough to sustain the Shen Family for generations without worry.

"Mo Xingyuan, he met with those people," Mayor Shen glanced at the unconscious person on the bed, the light in his eyes grew colder, then he turned and sat down on the sofa.

Mrs. Shen sensed something was off when she heard this and hurriedly sat down next to him, "Which people?"

"What other people could there be, have you forgotten how the Mu Family couple ended up in prison!" Mayor Shen looked extremely troubled, let out a low shout, and then held his head with both hands.

"What?"

Mrs. Shen’s face turned pale in an instant.

She sat stiffly for quite some time before tremblingly asking, "You mean... Mo Xingyuan... Mo Xingyuan is investigating the incident from that year?"

Back then, they deliberately framed the Mu Family and sent them to prison. Everything was done flawlessly. Five years have passed since then; why would Mo Xingyuan start investigating that case?

That case was personally judged by Zhuyue, by doing this, isn’t he showing distrust in Zhuyue?

It’s impossible...

If he really didn’t trust Zhuyue, he would have intervened five years ago.

Why would he wait five years and then suddenly meet those people...

"Old man, did you get it clear? What exactly is Mo Xingyuan meeting those people for?"

Mrs. Shen clutched her heart, feeling as if it were about to leap out of her chest.

This matter was no trivial issue, with the Mo Family’s influence, if they really wanted to investigate, they might be able to unearth the Shen Family’s past actions of framing the Mu Family.

If the past incident truly gets dug up, then their Shen Family would be finished.

"Now that he has detained them, how can I ask any questions?"

This was Mayor Shen’s biggest concern at the moment.

He was still not sure if Mo Xingyuan’s meeting with those people was about the past incident.

So he didn’t dare startle the snake in the grass.

If it’s not about the past incident, that would be best.

But if it is, he must prepare early.

He can’t just sit around and wait for disaster to strike the Shen Family.

"Detained? How... how is this possible?" Mrs. Shen was stunned, "Although the Mo Family could cover half of Rong City with their reach, those people can’t just be detained without any evidence, right? You need a reason to detain someone. Mo Xingyuan, he..."

Suddenly, Mrs. Shen thought of something, "Old man, this action by Mo Xingyuan, could he be waiting for you to come to him?"

Why would he detain those people for no reason?

There’s not a whisper of this outside.

Could Mo Xingyuan’s intent really be to lure you out?

"Old man, you mustn’t go," Mrs. Shen grabbed Mayor Shen’s arm, "If you go, wouldn’t that admit that the Shen Family was behind the framing of the Mu Family? This move by Mo Xingyuan must be to lure the snake out of its hole. We had settled things with those people back then; they... they shouldn’t easily betray us, right? As long as we vehemently deny everything, without direct evidence from the Mo Family of us framing the Chu Family, what can they do to us?"
