Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Give You 5 Minutes to Escape

Seeing Mrs. He and He Lele about to leave, Mu Suyu hurried down.

She walked up to the two of them, filled with remorse, “Lele, aunty would like to apologize to you here. Regardless of whether the video is real or not, it has affected your reputation.”

“Mrs. He, Jing Yu has always been a bright and exemplary child, very gentlemanly and respectful towards ladies. Those words definitely couldn’t have been said by Jing Yu. Someone must be trying to frame him.”

The guests being interviewed on stage seemed to also start believing Mu Suyu’s words.

After all, Jing Yu’s public facade was incredibly successful.

Mu Suyu had invested a lot of financial resources to craft the image of her son as Port City’s number one eligible bachelor, making him the top choice for a husband in the eyes of all the high society ladies.

It’s just a pity that while everyone has money, they aren’t fools.

Whether one is a dragon or a loach, you would know after interacting with them a couple of times.

Lu Xining looked down at her phone.

Little Dumpling had recently taken a liking to recording videos and would send one over to her from time to time.

There were a few seconds of video of her two brothers practicing calligraphy.

There were also longer videos of her in the Ji Family Garden, chasing after the pet duck, with only her little feet and the quacking duck visible in the frame, the shakiness of the video making Lu Xining dizzy.

Now, yet another video had been sent over, this one of eating candy, still in selfie mode.

“Mummy, look at the pink candy, Nuonuo, ahh, has eaten it up in one bite.”

Little Dumpling’s cute little face appeared even more adorable in the video, melting viewers’ hearts.

Next to the video, a man’s voice could be faintly heard, along with his watch-clad wrist.

Ji Muye: “Nuonuo, you can only have one candy a day. Give the rest to uncle for safekeeping, and tomorrow at this time, uncle will give you a small pack of candy again.”

Little Dumpling’s face was full of reluctant disappointment.

The man’s eyes twinkled slightly, “Nuonuo, call me daddy and I’ll give you an extra piece of candy.”

He had hardly finished speaking when, within two seconds, Little Dumpling ran off laughing.

“Nuonuo doesn’t want candy anymore, uncle, you keep it. If you eat too much, you’ll get worms, oh~”

The video ended abruptly there.

At this moment, Old Lady Mu of the Mu Family, leaning on a cane, stood out to declare that the content of the video was not true.

“Jing Yu is a good child. Whenever he has the time, he would come back home to accompany this old woman. He would never do such a conscienceless and wicked deed.”

Old Mrs. Mu’s words still carried a lot of weight.

She had been resting in the indoor tea room, and only because of the noise outside, she had to come out.

Catching a glimpse of a black car not far away, with the rear car window half rolled down, Lu Xining sent a message to Haozi.

He replied to her very quickly.

Indeed, it was Jing Yi’s car.

He had clearly arrived at the event but had not gotten out to support them. Was he planning to completely abandon the pieces that were Mu Suyu and Jing Yu?

Lu Xining’s gaze had just shifted there when the window was rolled up, preventing anyone outside from catching a glimpse inside.

Inside a parked van near that car,

a man wearing a mask was untying the ropes binding two people’s hands and feet.

The male and female, brought up from the basement just that morning, had black cloth bags over their heads, completely obscuring their view outside, and their mouths were sealed with tape.

With the tip of his knife, the man lifted their hoods, eager to see the fear in their eyes.

“You have 5 minutes to run away.”

“If I catch you again, it won’t be as simple as just locking you up.”

His voice, light and airy, was devilishly intimidating.

The moment he finished his sentence, the car door was remotely opened.

The man and woman, who hadn’t recovered from their shock, exchanged glances and quickly ran away.

At the charity press conference.

Having received a message from his subordinates, Fu Junhang slowly curled his lips into a smile, “The cat and mouse game begins.”

Lu Xining watched silently, the elderly lady on stage speaking on behalf of Mu Suyu, who looked kind and benevolent, clearly a very warm-hearted old person.

Unfortunately, she was still unaware that the daughter before her was actually an impostor.

Just as Mu Suyu had calmed Mrs. He’s emotions, preventing her from leaving the scene, the most decisive reason was He Lele’s persuasion.

She kept praising, “Lele is really empathetic. Whoever marries you will be lucky.”

He Lele was not pleased with her words.

Her gaze towards Mu Suyu was like that of a venomous snake, always fixating on its prey for a long time before the attack, ensuring it could swallow the prey, and then striking with lethal force.

Old Mrs. Mu had been a notable woman in Port City in her youth and was still a prominent guest at major conferences and banquet.

The journalists from the several major television stations and mainstream media who arrived at the scene might not give face to Mu Suyu but had to give Old Mrs. Mu her due respect.

Lu Xining was waiting, waiting for a chance to ruin Mu Suyu once and for all.

Luckily, she didn’t have to wait too long.

“Who are these filthy beggars? Get out of here now!”

“I’ve already said no entry is allowed! What daughter, what beggar’s daughter, there’s no such person here!”

Upon hearing the security guards’ angry scolding at the entrance, accompanied by the agonized cries of two people shouting for Mu Suyu’s daughter, the people on the lawn all turned to look back.

“Suyu, I am your mother! Someone’s trying to kill us, please save me and your father!”

“Are you blind? I told you, that woman in the white suit inside is my daughter! Let me go now, or I’ll have my daughter fire you on the spot!”

These two were none other than Mu Suyu’s biological parents, whom Mu Suyu had discarded to some forgotten corner abroad.

Lu Xining had gone through a lot of trouble to “invite” them back in such a short amount of time.

For this, she even chartered a plane.

Before landing in Port City, both believed the lie that their “daughter had called them back to enjoy a good life.”

In this dog-eat-dog world, the parents who raised the vicious dogs must be held accountable, mustn’t they?

Besides, these two were not innocent either.

If it weren’t for this nanny having stolen Mu Family’s child, how would Fu Junhang’s mother have gone through such a life of upheaval?

And that rotten old man was even worse.

Now that everyone had arrived, the real show was about to officially begin.

Lu Xining snapped out of her memories, her gaze sliding past the black car that hadn’t left yet. Even if Jing Yi had discarded these two pawns early on, it was too late for him to withdraw unscathed.

The people she had arranged in advance pretended to seriously and responsibly stop the two individuals from entering the scene, when in fact they raised their voices to draw the attention of everyone present.

Seeing those two appear here, Mu Suyu felt her scalp tingle.

She didn’t care at all about the life and death of her biological parents. If it weren’t for the butcher threatening her, claiming he had evidence that would reach Old Lady Mu if he died, she would have had them dealt with a long time ago, and wouldn’t have spent so much money maintaining them every year.

Old Mrs. Mu frowned, “Suyu, what’s going on?”

Just as the butcher and the nanny pushed past the security guards and charged towards the old lady.

In the nick of time, Fu Junhang swiftly stepped forward, subduing both individuals with fast, fierce, and precise force.

And the moment Old Mrs. Mu saw his profile, her pupils dilated instantly, unable to believe she was looking at a face almost identical to that of her husband.

“You…”
