Chapter 198 A dead Taoist friend is not dead but a poor Taoist

After Mu Qingmu left, Mu Qingfeng kept thinking about the meaning of his words.

He knew, of course, that his uncle was no ordinary person, so why did his cousin specifically remind him of that?

Mu Qingfeng immediately called Secretary Liu: "Investigate your uncle's recent movements."

Do not check, I don’t know, I’m scared.

Mulin Mountain recently developed a jade vein mine on the border of Yunnan Province.

However, mining requires start-up capital.

Mu Linshan wanted to bring his other brothers into the business together.

Mu Linhai had originally agreed to invest, but ultimately gave up due to Mu Qingmu's obstruction.

Secretary Liu got the information easily; Mu Qingfeng knew that Mu Qingmu must have deliberately leaked it to Secretary Liu.

If it were just about developing jadeite veins, Mu Qingmu certainly wouldn't have said such a thing.

Mu Qingfeng pondered for a moment and then asked, "Is that vein mine still in operation?"

"Construction is currently proceeding normally, but I heard from locals that it was suspended for a whole day a couple of days ago," Secretary Liu replied truthfully.

"Try to investigate what happened that day. Knowing your uncle's personality, he definitely wouldn't let the mine stop operating. How much money would be lost if it stopped operating for a day?"

Mu Qingfeng's gaze was cold.

"By the way, you need to find out whose name this mine was developed under," Mu Qingfeng added.

Secretary Liu's investigation was quite fast.

“I found someone in Yunnan Province to pose as a worker and sneak in.”

“At first, no matter how we tried to get information out of him, it was no use. In the end, the worker told his coworkers that someone had paid him a million to investigate.”

"After hearing this, the coworker became eager and demanded two million yuan, saying he was willing to tell the truth," Secretary Liu said.

Mu Qingfeng immediately perked up; something major must have happened on the day work was suspended!

"What did he say?" Mu Qingfeng asked.

"The worker said he wanted to see the boss and bring cash, because he wouldn't feel at ease unless he saw him in person," Secretary Liu said, pursing her lips.

"There are too many things going on in Shanghai, I can't get away," Mu Qingfeng said, frowning.

Secretary Liu quickly shook his head and said, "Of course there's no need to trouble you, young master, with such a small matter. I can go by myself."

"However, the people we sent told the worker he wanted to quit, but the mine wouldn't release him." Secretary Liu finished speaking, glancing cautiously at Mu Qingfeng.

Mu Qingfeng slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"Isn't this illegal detention?" Mu Qingfeng's eyes widened.

"If we don't let those people out, does that mean we still won't let them out after this vein of ore is mined out?" Mu Qingfeng paced back and forth a few steps.

He always felt something was off; this jadeite vein was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Secretary Liu said, "The apparent owner of this mine is the Third Master."

Mu Qingfeng tapped his fingers on the table twice, picked up his clothes, and said, "Let's go home."

Secretary Liu was stunned for two seconds. How could things have changed so quickly?

"There's definitely something fishy going on here. I need to get my dad to help me analyze this," Mu Qingfeng explained helplessly.

He felt his heart racing the whole way.

He had a premonition that once the secret of this jade vein was revealed, their entire Mu family would be doomed.

After arriving home, Mu Qingfeng went straight to Mu Lintian's room.

Mu was leisurely sitting on the balcony reading a book today.

"Dad, you still have the mind to read books? Your good older brother is already thinking about how to seize power," Mu Qingfeng said helplessly.

Mu Lintian looked up and glanced at his son with amusement.

"My position isn't the emperor's, so what's the point of plotting to seize power? If he wants it, then give it to him." Mu Lintian shrugged indifferently.

Mu Qingfeng was furious.

His father, on the other hand, was very easygoing and left him to work himself to the bone at the company.

Mu Qingfeng said, "Dad, I suspect that Uncle is doing something illegal."

He told Mu Lintian everything that Secretary Liu had investigated, without missing a single detail.

Mu Lintian's expression also became serious.

He remained silent for a long time before saying, "Call the fourth brother over. Have Qingmu go and fetch him."

"Qingmu is a good judge of what's important. If you just talk to him briefly, he'll definitely understand the key points."

Mu Qingfeng said with some difficulty, "I just told my cousin today not to get involved in the conflict between our family and my uncle."

"This concerns the entire Mu family, he won't mind." Mu Lintian smiled at Mu Qingfeng.

Although my son has matured a lot, he is still too young and doesn't have a comprehensive view of things.

Mu Qingfeng nodded and immediately contacted Mu Qingmu.

He briefly described the situation to Mu Qingmu, and Mu Qingmu immediately agreed to go to Mu Linjiang's house.

……

"Fourth Uncle, Father said that Grandma found some of her belongings that were meant for you. They were only recently sorted out, and he needs to give them to you personally." Mu Qingmu lied expressionlessly.

Without much thought, Mu Linjiang immediately got into the car with Mu Qingmu.

After driving for more than twenty minutes, Mu Linjiang realized that something was wrong.

"This isn't the way to your house!" Mu Linjiang asked, frowning.

What relics? The person has been dead for over a decade. How could I only find them now?

Besides, although he and Mu Linhai are brothers, their relationship isn't particularly close.

How could you say that you need to give it to him personally?

"Qingmu, where are you taking me?" Mu Linjiang continued to ask.

"Fourth Uncle, don't worry, I won't harm you. You'll know when you get to your destination." Mu Qingmu said calmly as he continued driving.

As they approached their destination, Mu Linjiang knew perfectly well that he was heading to the Mu family's old residence.

Mu Lintian sat in the living room looking energetic, showing no signs of being sick.

"Third Brother? Why did you call me here in this way? And at the old house?" Mu Linjiang said unhappily.

Mu Lintian slowly poured Mu Linjiang a cup of tea.

"Fourth brother, you're still so impatient. Have some tea first." Mu Lintian smiled gently.

Mu Linjiang's expression changed.

At the company, Mu Lintian's imposing aura was so strong that people dared not look him in the eye.

Mu Linjiang was angry just now, which is why his tone was a bit harsh.

Mu Lintian is like a completely different person now.

"Third brother..."

"Fourth brother, look, even if someone keeps cleaning this old house, it will still fall into disrepair if no one lives there." Mu Lintian looked up and around.

At this moment, Mu Qingfeng came out and nodded to Mu Qingmu.

"Fourth Uncle," Mu Qingfeng greeted Mu Linjiang with a smile.

It was as if the person who was at odds with Mu Linjiang at the company was not the same person.

"Fourth Uncle, I won't waste any more words. You have a stake in the jadeite mine in Yunnan Province, right? And it's a project established in your name, isn't it?"

Mu Qingfeng wasn't asking a question, but rather stating it with certainty.

Mu Linjiang frowned and asked, "So what if it is? This project wasn't established in the name of the Mu Group. Does Third Brother intend to keep all the profits for the group?"
