Chapter 221 220: The Disaster Provoked by 100 Million

Already breathtakingly beautiful, she had now cast off the effects of her illness and looked particularly serene.

"Divine Doctor Mu, will it really not relapse in the future?" Luo Wanqing asked, a little uneasy.

Mu Lin said, "Probably not. The poison is gone from your system, but I can't rule out someone trying to poison you again. You'll have to be more careful from now on. You should be fine then."

Luo Wanqing let out a long sigh of relief.

Chen Xiaoyou got out of the car and immediately started looking for Mu Lin with great enthusiasm.

Spotting Mu Lin outside the treatment room, he immediately ran over.

"Divine Doctor Mu!" Chen Xiaoyou called out as he ran up to Mu Lin.

Mu Lin smiled at him, and Chen Xiaoyou was flattered.

He recounted what happened with the Li Group, and Mu Lin burst out laughing. "Excellent! Thank you, Uncle Chen! You really went through a lot of trouble!"

Chen Xiaoyou chuckled. "It wasn't that bad."

Chen Bing chimed in goofily, "Divine Doctor Mu, please don't take what my dad says seriously!"

Mu Lin smiled. "Why would I?"

"Chen Bing," Mu Lin said suddenly. Chen Bing instantly scurried over to his side. "Divine Doctor Mu, I'm listening!"

"You just had surgery, so you can't overexert yourself. In a while, I'll help you with another course of treatment. Go home for now, and come back in a week."

In any case, the distance between the two places wasn't that far. With a little better planning, the trip wouldn't even be too tiring.

The reason the Chen father and son were so tired yesterday was that they had left in a hurry without any arrangements.

If they had made arrangements, they probably would have conserved their energy much better.

The Chen father and son got into their car and left in high spirits.

Luo Wanqing waited for them to leave before stepping forward to speak.

"Divine Doctor Mu, the Ning Family will very likely go after Xingchen Building Materials. When that happens, it will be a huge problem. I hope you can still lend them a hand, especially since they just helped you."

Mu Lin nodded slowly. "I'm keeping it in mind. Please don't worry."

Luo Wanqing knew Mu Lin valued relationships, so she said no more.

Saying any more might be counterproductive with Mu Lin, which would be undesirable.

Luo Wanqing sensed it was time for her to leave.

"Alright, I've said all I need to say. Divine Doctor Mu, until we meet again!"

Mu Lin chuckled. "Until we meet again! Manor Master Luo, I may have many things to trouble you with in the future. I wonder if I'll be so fortunate?"

"Yes! Absolutely!"

Luo Wanqing left with her subordinates, but Mr. Qingshan stayed behind. He was now a free man and had decided to follow Mu Lin.

And after last night's cultivation, Long Qingshan had already stepped into the ranks of the Grandmasters.

It was just one happy event after another, a continuous streak of good luck.

After lunch, Mu Lin prepared to head back to the company.

Taking the morning off had already put a lot of pressure on Li Xue, so he certainly wasn't going to add to her stress.

Just as he was about to leave, Lin Shishi suddenly asked, "Brother Mu, are you free this afternoon?"

Mu Lin scratched his head. "I can be free if I want to be, or not if I don't. It all depends on what it is."

Lin Shishi smiled. "I was hoping Brother Mu could show me around Anhua."

Mu Lin was speechless. "Miss Shishi, I'm not from around here either. I usually stick to the same few areas. I don't know much about the Anhua you want to see. Why not ask Miss Ling'Er?"

Lin Shishi pouted. Her carefully applied light makeup had been completely ineffective... To her, this was nothing short of a disastrous defeat.

'Is this Mu Lin guy made of stone? Doesn't he have any desires?'

But just as she was starting to doubt herself, Mu Lin had already returned to the company.

Zhou Qianfan's people were coming to arrange project matters, and he had to be there to oversee things. Otherwise, there was no telling what Chen Xi might do.

After Mu Lin left, Lin Shishi wandered around nearby.

"Manor Master Luo's car is pretty nice..." Mu Lin said.

Luo Wanqing had left her car for him before she departed, giving the keys to Mr. Qingshan.

It was as if she was afraid Mu Lin would refuse, so she hadn't mentioned it to him at all.

He was walking toward the company and had gone just over a hundred meters when the car pulled up.

"Mu Xiaoyou, get in!"

Mu Lin felt helpless but got in the car, at least to give Long Qingshan face. Only after asking did he learn that Luo Wanqing had left it for him.

'On the surface, it was a gift, but it was probably also an excuse for her to come see me in the future.'

'For example, an excuse to pick up the car, or an excuse to have Mu Lin fix the car, and so on.'

'Quite interesting.'

"Luxury cars sure are comfortable!"

Long Qingshan said, "Actually, with Mu Xiaoyou's power, it wouldn't be difficult to live any kind of good life you want."

Mu Lin just smiled. "To each their own. I'm just passing through this mortal world. Once I'm done, I have to go back. Buying all these nice things is useless."

Mr. Qingshan sighed and said no more.

When they arrived, Mu Lin told Mr. Qingshan to do as he pleased, while he himself went to work.

The security captain was walking toward him, a sense of urgency on his face.

The two nodded at each other but didn't exchange any words.

Mu Lin then overheard the security captain asking a team member:

"What was that construction worker's name again? What business does he have with our President Li?"

When Mu Lin heard Li Xue's name, his ears immediately perked up.

He moved silently behind them, trying to hear more clearly.

"I forget his name, but his surname is Xiang. He says he's here to ask President Li for justice."

'A construction worker with the surname Xiang?'

Mu Lin seemed to recall someone like that.

During that incident where a fake accident was staged at the construction site to lure Li Xue over, several workers had died.

This Lao Xiang was a survivor.

'If he wants to seek justice from Li Xue, it must be about the workers.'

Mu Lin couldn't stand to see the poor and downtrodden suffer, so he immediately followed them.

"Vice Team Leader Mu, where are you going?"

"I'm going to see that construction worker. I was also there when we inspected the site. I'll see if I can help."

The security captain knew that Mu Lin and Li Xue's relationship was anything but ordinary, so he didn't say anything more and let Mu Lin follow.

Before long, Mu Lin and the security captain arrived at the gatehouse at the entrance of the Group.

They saw the worker, Lao Xiang, sitting in a chair. He looked completely demoralized, his body was covered in injuries, and there were even several stitches on his head.

When Lao Xiang saw Mu Lin, he shot to his feet and lunged toward him. "You're the person who was standing next to President Li that time!"

Mu Lin nodded. "Yes, that's me. Uncle Xiang, what do you need from President Li?"

"I need President Li's help to save Lao Hong's daughter!"

Mu Lin frowned. 'The one hundred million in compensation was paid out long ago. What else could have happened?'

"Uncle Xiang, please explain in detail. What exactly happened?"

Lao Xiang began to speak. His education level wasn't high, but he was responsible for some management work on the construction team, so he was still a clear and articulate speaker.

Among the five workers who died last time was a man named Hong Wanfu. The two of them were very close, like iron brothers, and could talk about anything.

Hong Wanfu had a daughter named Hong Rui, who was about to take her college entrance exams.

Hong Wanfu had divorced long ago, and he had raised Hong Rui by himself. In a huge city like Anhua, she had no one to rely on, which was a very painful existence.

The Yang Family's compensation of one hundred million had been paid. Logically speaking, with that much money, Hong Rui's life should have been very happy.

But then, a group of vile relatives heard about it, came to her door, and took all the money.

This left Hong Rui in an even more pitiful state.

Lao Xiang was afraid Hong Rui might do something drastic, so he had been secretly looking out for her.

Yesterday, more people came. A man claiming to be Hong Wanfu's paternal cousin brought a group of people, stormed the Hong Family's rented apartment, and stole all their savings.

Lao Xiang, worried about Hong Rui, tried to intervene, but he was hopelessly outnumbered and beaten into his current state.

Mu Lin sighed endlessly as he listened. He had made the Yang Family pay one hundred million so that the victim's family could live a good life.

Who would have thought that this one hundred million would instead invite such a disaster?

As for Hong Rui, not only did she not get a single cent, but she also had to witness such a terrible side of her own relatives.

How terrifying it all was.

Mu Lin sighed. "Why didn't you report it to the authorities? They brought people to commit robbery; the Government would have no trouble arresting them."

Lao Xiang gave a long sigh. "We're just stinking laborers, what connections do we have? I went to the Government, but they don't like to get involved in this kind of family affair. They're all relatives. What if the two sides make up? The Government would just end up in a messy situation, you know?"

"The most difficult part is that Hong Rui and Lao Hong... they aren't actually related by blood. Lao Hong adopted her because he felt sorry for her..."

The security captain slapped his thigh. "Well, I'll be damned. There's another twist. That really complicates things. It's hard to say if Lao Hong ever filed the official paperwork with the civil affairs bureau. Whether that compensation money should even go to Hong Rui is now a whole can of worms."

"Those vile relatives certainly have a strong argument now! As long as they insist that Hong Rui isn't related, the Government won't be able to say much..."

Lao Xiang dropped to his knees with a THUD. "I'm begging you, please help Hong Rui! She's all alone in this world, a poor girl suffering all by herself. It's truly unbearable for her."
