The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 459 - 459 459 Busted

459: Chapter 459: Busted 459: Chapter 459: Busted “If that’s the case, the best outcome would be for you to become the Mu Family’s successor, Dad.

Think about it, if your older brother became the successor, even if he doesn’t trouble you, wouldn’t Mu Shaopeng make life difficult for Lanlan?

Besides, there are definitely questionable people around him.

So, only if you become the successor can you secure the Mu Family’s legacy, protect Lanlan, and stabilize Mu Group.”

Mu Tiancheng agreed with Lin Fei’s perspective.

He also deduced from Lin Fei’s revelation about Mu Tiansheng’s company committing tax evasion that there were indeed questionable people around Mu Tiansheng.

“So, Dad, you could call your brother over today, and if he learns of his son’s actions, out of guilt, he would surely agree to Lanlan taking up the position of president of the liquor and tourism business group.

Moreover, if he truly understands the situation, he would also realize that you becoming the successor is the best outcome.”

After listening to this, Mu Tiansheng scrutinized Lin Fei seriously and said, “Lin Fei, today you really impressed me anew, reminding me of what my father once said about you.”

“What did he say?”

Lin Fei was curious about what the Mu Family patriarch thought of him.

Mu Tiancheng raised four fingers.

“Four words—’unmatched in the world.'”

Lin Fei furrowed his brows, not quite understanding why the Mu Family patriarch would hold him in such high regard.

“At first, I also thought my father’s praise was excessive, but now, I believe you completely deserve it.” After finishing his tea, Mu Tiancheng continued, “Let’s end our conversation here for today.

Lanlan should be in the back garden of the side building, her mother is buried there, you should go see her.”

Mu Tiancheng pointed Lin Fei in the direction, “This afternoon, you two can take a walk nearby, there’s a man-made Crescent Lake here which is quite scenic.

Since it’s rare for you to rest, I’ll ask you to keep Lanlan company for me; she has been working too hard.”

Lin Fei nodded, saying, “I understand.”

“By the way, Lin Fei, I’m planning to subtly bring up their company’s tax evasion to my brother to see his reaction, what do you think?”

Lin Fei, thinking that Mu Tiancheng was truly seasoned in the ways of the Martial World, planned to first float the rumor.

If Mu Tiansheng was innocent, he would definitely investigate this matter himself.

If not, they had evidence in hand, and it wouldn’t be too late to deal with him then.

Thinking this, Lin Fei nodded in agreement with Mu Tiancheng’s suggestion.

“Alright, you can go now, I also have some matters to handle.”

After saying goodbye to Mu Tiancheng, Lin Fei went to the back garden of the side building and indeed saw Mu Shanshan there.

He quietly approached her.

Mu Shanshan stood silently in front of her mother’s grave, her cheeks still marked with tear stains.

Lin Fei looked at the tombstone, which bore a black-and-white photo of He Ling’er and was engraved with: “Tomb of beloved wife He Ling’er.”

Lin Fei clasped his hands and whispered, “May your spirit in heaven protect Lanlan, granting her a lifetime of happiness.”

Mu Shanshan whispered her thanks, “Thank you.”

Lin Fei gently squared Mu Shanshan’s shoulders and comforted her, “Let the past be the past.”

“No, I will definitely avenge my mother!”

Considering Mu Shanshan’s safety, Lin Fei naturally did not mention the Fang Family’s matters, but still couldn’t help hinting obliquely, “Lanlan, have you ever considered that maybe you really misunderstood Dad?”

Mu Shanshan looked puzzledly at Lin Fei, wondering why he would say such a thing.

“As far as I know, since Mom died, Dad has been alone.

If that’s the case, he must have truly loved Mom, so why has he never mentioned revenge all these years, have you ever thought that there might be some other hidden reason?”

The sharp Mu Shanshan sensed something was amiss and questioned Lin Fei, “What has Dad told you?!”

Lin Fei waved his hand, “Dad just talked to me about the things between him and Mom when they were young, I can feel that he loved Mom, that’s why I said that.”

“Hah, what hidden reason is that?

Why won’t he tell me?”

“Maybe it’s for your own good?”

“Do I need him to do what’s good for me?

I just want to avenge my mother!”

Mu Shanshan became emotionally agitated.

Lin Fei regretted his unnecessary words and gently smoothed Mu Shanshan’s shoulder, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that.

But I just hope that in the future, you won’t bear these burdens alone; let me share them with you because it really hurts me to see you like this.”

Lin Fei’s caring words touched Mu Shanshan, and she lightly touched Lin Fei back.

At that moment, Li Bo came over to tell them that lunch was ready.

Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei followed Li Bo to the biggest building in the villa.

In the dining room, Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei sat together, with Mu Tiancheng facing them.
