Liang Luoyu took a bite of the beef and sesame seed cake. He almost choked on Wen Xin's words. Liang Luoyu patted his chest.

“I… better not. I don't want to get involved in the affairs of the Mu family. I came to pick you up. I'll take you to the airport and let Mu Dong accompany

Master Xi.”

Liang Luoyu had heard early on that Master Xi had summoned Mu Dong to assist Wen Xin with her tasks. Liang Luoyu came along with Mu Dong, volunteering for the task, as the Mu family's affairs were beyond his responsibility. He only needed to stay by Master Xi's side.

Since Master Xi was dealing with the Mu family's matters today, it would be most appropriate for Mu Dong to be by his side. He could protect Wen Xin well.

Wen Xin had no objections to Liang Luoyu's arrangement. Suddenly, she remembered something and looked up at Mu Dong and Liang Luoyu, “Why haven't I seen Mu Bei?”

“He's in Ice City handling some shopping mall matters. Miss Wen, did you hear about Geng Qiu's disappearance? The second uncle of the Geng family never mentioned her vanishing.”

When the Geng family was brought up, Wen Xin slapped her forehead hard; she felt she had forgotten something. Only now did she remember that she had not yet handed over that notebook to Ma Wenyuan.

“I only heard about Geng Qiu's disappearance yesterday, which probably has nothing to do with Geng Shicheng. I suspect it was Geng Zewei who arranged for someone to take Geng Qiu away, but I haven't confirmed it yet.”

Last night, before Mu Chengxi came home, Wen Xin had specifically investigated Geng Qiu's whereabouts. Her disappearance was too coincidental, and Wen Xin felt that besides Geng Zewei, no one else would take Geng Qiu away, although she didn't know Geng Zewei's motive.

“Then I'll have Mu Bei look into Geng Qiu's whereabouts. Geng Shikui's case has been decided, involving a huge amount of money. He's been sentenced to life imprisonment, and all his assets have been frozen. Geng Shicheng didn't escape the fallout either; even the husband of that teacher from your school got implicated. Ice City has been quite unstable lately. Now the Zhao family reigns supreme, and I've heard that Zhao Yuzheng is planning a marriage alliance with the Yan family.”

Mu Dong was well-informed about the happenings in Ice City, all thanks to Mu Bei's updates meant to be relayed to Master Xi.

But since Master Xi wasn't interested, Mu Dong hadn't had the chance to tell him. Now that Miss Wen was curious, he shared the information with her.

Wen Xin tapped the table lightly with her fingers, smiling faintly, “The Zhao family might not go far with Zhao Hongyuan at the helm; I just hope Zhao Yuzheng has some sense.”

Wen Xin wasn't very interested in the affairs of the Zhao family. If not for a slight connection between Zhao Hongda and Wen Xin's parents, she probably wouldn't have any dealings with the Zhao family.

Wen Xin had finished eating and put down her chopsticks just as Mu Chengxi came down from the second floor.

Today, Mu Chengxi was dressed very formally, in black trousers and a white shirt, which showcased his impeccable physique. His tall figure was revealed in all its glory.

Wen Xin lazily propped her chin with one arm, gazing at Mu Chengxi with bright, adoring eyes, her expression mischievously teasing.

“Master Xi, dressed so formally today, what's the occasion? This look makes you seem even more ruthless.”

Liang Luoyu rarely saw Mu Chengxi dressed like this. He remembered the last time Mu Chengxi was dressed this way was at Old Master Mu's funeral.

“Since all those irrelevant people are around, it's time to hold a proper Mu familv clan meeting to establish some rules. so we won't have troublemakers causing us grief again.”

Mu Chengxi pulled out a chair and sat down, his dark, deep eyes narrowing slightly, a fierce light flashing within them.

The last time he exposed his identity as the family head was to warn those people to behave themselves. This time, he would kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, lest those people forget what kind of person he was.

Liang Luoyu and Mu Dong glanced at each other as they watched Mu Chengxi's stern and resolute demeanor, involuntarily feeling a sense of dread for those involved.

It seemed that this time, Master Chengxi was truly prepared to put the Mu family in order. It was just unclear how many would suffer the consequences.

After finishing his breakfast, Liang Luoyu watched Wen Xin, who was casually propped up by one hand under her chin, chatting intermittently with Mu Chengxi. He didn't dare to interrupt the conversation between the two big shots, so he sat quietly, waiting for instructions.

Wen Xin watched Mu Chengxi finish his last bite of a bun, stood up, and gave him a teasing smile, “When it's possible to resolve matters with force, try not to waste words with them. After all, filial piety is often instilled through discipline.”

Hearing Wen Xin's words, Mu Dong and Liang Luoyu both widened their eyes in shock. Miss Wen's words were like adding fuel to the fire. With Master Chengxi about to take action against the Mu family, it seemed their days were numbered, and Wen Xin appeared to worry that their downfall wouldn't be thorough enough.

This was truly a matter for the big shots, beyond their understanding.

“Alright, don't worry, I assure you they will all become very filial!” Mu Chengxi stood up, adjusted the hood on Wen Xin's sweatshirt, gently kissed the top of her head, and then let go of her.

“I might be busy today, so call me if you need anything. Once you're done, you can go straight back to Zhi Lan, and I'll join you there after I've finished here.”

“Okay, then I'll be going!” Wen Xin stepped out of Mu Chengxi's arms, walked to the sofa in the living room, picked up her backpack, and left with Liang Luoyu.

Liang Luoyu took Wen Xin down another path, where there were no members of the Mu family. His car was parked there; he opened the door for Wen Xin to get in, then sat in the driver's seat and drove away from the old Mu residence.

After seeing off Wen Xin, the tender look on Mu Chengxi's face vanished, his dark, deep eyes turning very somber, devoid of any warmth, and seemingly colder and more penetrating.

“Master Chengxi, shall we go to the Enforcement Hall now, or to the old madam's courtyard?”

“Go directly to the Enforcement Hall. They want justice, so let's give them justice from the Enforcement Hall.”

As Mu Chengxi spoke, a cold smile appeared on his face. The Mu family had been without proper governance for too long, making them forget that the Mu family has its family rules.

“Alright, then I'll go to the old madam's courtyard to inform everyone to meet at the Enforcement Hall.

After hearing Mu Chengxi's words, Mu Dong knew what he was planning. The old patriarch, Old Master Mu, had been dead for many years, and although the old lady was decisive and firm, she seldom interfered with the company's affairs, leading many to believe that the Mu family had no head and started to do as they pleased, building their own power.

In reality, Mu Chengxi had a good grasp of their power dynamics. He had no intention of taking over the Mu family's affairs. As long as those people didn't go too far, Mu Chengxi naturally wouldn't bother with them.

It was a pity they couldn't see the reality and always tried to cause trouble for Wen Xin. How could Mu Chengxi allow them to live comfortably?

With a steady gait, Mu Dong approached the old madam's courtyard, bowed respectfully to her, and then informed the seated members that Mu Chengxi was waiting for them at the Enforcement Hall for a meeting..
