Chapter 478: Chapter 478 Mu Shaoci & Shen Lu 23

Mu Shaoci waved her over and stepped forward to take the suitcase from the woman’s hand. "Su Mo, long time no see."

Su Mo tilted her head and smiled, "Shouldn’t you compliment me on becoming prettier?"

Mu Shaoci looked at her heavily guarded outfit, "Sorry, I truly didn’t notice that."

Su Mo laughed out loud, "You’re still so old-fashioned, no wonder you don’t have a girlfriend!"

Mu Shaoci didn’t want to discuss his love life with others, so he did not continue the topic. "Let’s go, I’ll take you to Shangdong Courtyard."

Su Mo nodded, "Thank you."

All the way there, it was Su Mo who did the talking.

She was very talkative; as long as she was there, even the most boring situations wouldn’t have any awkward silences.

She studied film acting abroad, and after graduating, she returned to develop her career back home, after all, her family and friends were all in the country.

"I’m playing the second female lead this time. Although I’m not the lead actress, I’m still quite satisfied."

Mu Shaoci understood a bit about the film and television industry; after all, Mu Qianfan was from this circle.

"Did you bring funding into the production?"

Su Mo laughed, "Not at all, my brother wanted to help, but I still wanted to rely on my own abilities. The crew doesn’t know that I’m from the Su Family. When I get to act with Qianfan, then I would consider it a success."

Mu Shaoci smiled faintly, "Then I wish your dream comes true soon."

Su Mo laughed out loud, "As long as it’s not a daydream, that’s fine."

Upon arriving at Shangdong Courtyard, they both got out of the car.

Su Mo was about to take her luggage from the trunk, but Mu Shaoci said, "No need, I’ll take you back later tonight. I have a dinner engagement here as well."

Su Mo, "That’s quite a coincidence, then thank you in advance."

Mu Shaoci curved his lips, "You’re welcome."

After entering the restaurant, each found their respective private rooms.

Mu Shaoci pushed open the private room door, and everyone stood up, with the boss of the up-and-coming company inviting him to the seat of honor.

Because the Mu Corporation and Chenyang had not signed any contracts, many were interested in the project, hoping to share a piece of the pie with Mu Corporation.

Amid the toasting and revelry, Mu Shaoci became slightly tipsy. He left the private room to go to the restroom.

When he came out to wash his hands, he saw Su Mo washing her face at the sink.

Considering that she was a friend’s sister, Mu Shaoci approached and asked, "Su Mo, are you alright?"

Su Mo leaned on the washstand with both hands and looked at him, "I feel so awful."

Mu Shaoci saw the unnatural flush on her cheeks and the muddled look in her eyes, clearly the mark of foul play.

He took out his phone to call Su Mingyang, but Su Mo snatched it away and threw it into the sink.

The faucet wasn’t closed, and the water flushed over the phone, causing it to shut off due to water damage.

Besides being patient with Shen Lu, Mu Shaoci had little patience for other women.

Watching the phone shut off, a flash of impatience and anger crossed his eyes.

He turned off the faucet, shook the water off the phone, and was about to say something when the woman suddenly hugged his waist.

"I feel so awful! Can you give me a hug, please?"

Mu Shaoci pulled at her arm, trying to push her away.

At that moment, a pot-bellied greasy man approached them, "Su Mo, I’m here. You’ve got the wrong person. Come here, I’ll take you away."

Mu Shaoci instantly understood; this man was the one who drugged Su Mo.

He looked at the man, "Do you know who she is?"

The man also appeared a bit drunk, and upon hearing Mu Shaoci’s comment, he immediately turned unpleasant, "She’s my woman! Mind your own business!" With that, he tried to tug at Su Mo’s arm.

Mu Shaoci grabbed the man’s wrist and twisted it sharply upward.

With a ’crack’ sound, the man’s bone broke.

His loud screams drew a lot of attention.

Director Song saw Su Mo embracing a man, and that man was none other than the master of the Mu Family, Mu Shaoci.

He furrowed his brows, "President Mu, hello, I’m Song Wenfeng. What happened here?"

Mu Shaoci released the pot-bellied man’s hand, pushed him away forcefully, and the latter staggered backwards.

If it hadn’t been for Song Wenfeng supporting him, the man with the big belly would have definitely fallen to the ground.

He still wanted to swear and curse, but Song Wenfeng grabbed him and whispered, "President Ma, this is Mu Shaoci, President Mu."

The pain and the man’s words sobered up President Ma somewhat. Could it be that this was Mu Shaoci’s woman?

He became very frightened and immediately shut up.

Mu Shaoci pulled the octopus-like Su Mo away, grabbing her by the collar of her dress, "President Ma, right? Whatever you’ve done to Su Mo, I will investigate thoroughly."

He looked at Song Wenfeng, "Bring Su Mo’s coat and bag."

Song Wenfeng didn’t dare to delay, personally going to retrieve the items from the private room.

After Mu Shaoci received them, he carried Su Mo back to his own private room.

Standing at the door, he apologized to the people inside, stating he had something to attend to and needed to leave.

Seeing that Mu Shaoci was taking a woman with him, everyone tacitly understood.

Mu Shaoci carried Su Mo out of Shangdong Courtyard and stuffed her into the back seat of the car.

He opened Su Mo’s bag, took out her cell phone, and called both Su Chen and Su Mingyang.

Coincidentally, Su Mingyang was also drunk, slurring his words.

Mu Shaoci knew this son of a bitch was unreliable.

He looked at the woman in the back seat who had started undressing and claimed she was hot, feeling a headache coming on.

He pressed his temples, got out of the car, and sat in the back seat, taking off his suit jacket to drape over Su Mo’s body, tying the sleeves together to prevent her from moving erratically.

But even this couldn’t stop the woman’s wild flailing.

Mu Shaoci pinned her down on the back seat, sitting on her legs, imprisoning her so she couldn’t move.

He took out his phone and tried to use it, but it was off.

It was already nine o’clock, and Shen Lu was still waiting for him to come home.

When Su Chen arrived at 9:15, he opened the car door only to see Mu Shaoci with a dark look on his face.

A second look revealed the woman in the back seat being pinned down, whimpering as she cried; not a pretty scene at all.

He guessed that if he had arrived any later, these legs, limp and possibly bloodless, would have had to be amputated.

Mu Shaoci inclined his chin, "To the hospital."

Su Chen took the car keys and quickly drove towards the hospital.

Throughout the journey, he could feel the heavy atmosphere emanating from Mu Shaoci.

Once they arrived at the hospital, Su Chen carried Su Mo into the emergency room, with Mu Shaoci following behind.

After understanding the situation, the doctor immediately drew blood for tests and then washed out Su Mo’s stomach.

Su Mo did not wake up and was taken to a regular ward.

Mu Shaoci stepped out of the ward, borrowed Su Chen’s phone and called Shen Lu.

"Assistant Su?"

"It’s me." Hearing the woman’s gentle voice, Mu Shaoci immediately felt calmer, "I’ll be coming home late, you don’t need to wait up for me."

"I’ve already cooked the Sobering-up Soup."

"Mm, I’ll drink it when I get back. You should go to sleep early."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Mu Shaoci leaned back on the bench, tilting his head against the wall.

Su Chen brought over the test results and approached him, "President Mu, Miss Su has been poisoned with a strong substance, any later and there would have been damage to her body."

Mu Shaoci opened his eyes, "Go check all the people at Su Mo’s dinner tonight, find out who did it. That President Ma is the main culprit, see if there are any accomplices; their methods are too despicable."

Su Chen nodded, "Yes, I’ll look into it immediately."

Mu Shaoci handed him the phone, "It’s water damaged, get it fixed."

"Yes."

Because Su Mo had an IV drip, Mu Shaoci still went into the ward.

A figure stood at the door of the ward, taking a picture of the scene with a phone through the small window.
