The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress-Chapter 816 - 318 Extraordinary Xiaoqi_2

Bai Lian gave a nonchalant "Hmm," her expression much colder than usual.

Mu Yining knew that the Mu Family had to make a decision between her and Ren Wanxuan.

**

Arriving at the Mu Family.

Ji Shaojun was meeting with a business partner while Mu Yining, after finishing her paperwork, went to Mu Zhendong’s office.

Mu Zhendong raised his hand, dismissing his secretary, and leaned back in his chair, looking surprised, "Are you saying she insists on pursuing this matter with the outsider to the very end?"

"Let’s leave it to the police," Mu Yining suggested, massaging her temples. "Alian and her group take the victim very seriously; you shouldn’t get involved."

Mu Yining had been managing the business for many years and, though she hadn’t achieved anything remarkable, she hadn’t made any mistakes either.

She must have her reasons for saying this.

Hearing her say this, Mu Zhendong took out his cigarettes, lit one, and thought for a long while.

"I still don’t understand why she cares so much, but Wanxuan can’t be implicated this time," about ten minutes later, Mu Zhendong put out his cigarette in the ashtray and stood to grab his coat, "She’s still waiting for me downstairs."

Mu Zhendong, a businessman, habitually assessed risks and benefits.

Ji Shaojun’s connections from last time were indeed considerable, but since then, Bai Lian hadn’t made much of an impression, and Mu Zhendong had seen very little of her.

Mu Zhendong didn’t even know whether Bai Lian still had any dealings with Chen Yongkun.

On the other hand, Ren Wanxuan seized the opportunity, successfully broke into the circle of socialites, and constantly shared photos with her friends.

It was very vain, but the effect was clear.

For instance, this time, she used her connections to reach the Yu Family and successfully contacted the foreign mineral management layer.

Ren Wanxuan was seriously embracing her identity as part of the Mu Family, having even changed her surname in the family registry, unlike Bai Lian, who never really saw herself as part of the Mu Family.

Downstairs.

After getting assurance from Xia Yun the night before, Ren Wanxuan wasn’t panicking at all.

She patiently waited for Mu Zhendong to come downstairs.

Mu Zhendong subtly communicated Mu Yining’s stance to her, effectively siding softly with Bai Lian.

Sitting in the back, Ren Wanxuan pursed her lips slightly and, after a long moment, spoke, "Uncle, today we are meeting Miss Yu and her mentor’s friend, that gentleman who has a bundle of resources."

Mu Zhendong sat up straight, a look of surprise evident on his face, "That’s great news! I’ll notify the board..."

Having materials would qualify them to apply for the heavy industry research institute.

In Jiangjing, no one knew that Miss Yu had these connections.

"Uncle," Ren Wanxuan pursed her lips again, hesitating for a moment, "let’s not intentionally inform auntie about this."

Clearly, she wanted to exclude Mu Yining from the matter.

Being a young girl under twenty, it was normal for her to feel upset and emotional, and Mu Zhendong tacitly approved her approach without objection.

With Mu Yining not involved, it was easier for him to take full control.

Ren Wanxuan took Mu Zhendong to the dining location where they had a pleasant talk.

Just as they finished eating and came out, they saw police cars parked on both sides of their vehicle.

The leading officer confirmed Ren Wanxuan’s identity and coldly showed her the arrest warrant, "Ren Wanxuan, please come with us."

Chi Yundai had acted quickly, already gathering a portion of the evidence and appealing to the court.

Once the court approved, today it was not a detention order, but an arrest warrant.

**

Ren Wanxuan was once again taken to the detention center.

This time, to be precise, it was an "arrest," and the issuance of the arrest warrant essentially meant a likely sentencing.

Ren Qian and Ren Jiawei were completely unable to remain seated.

Calling Ji Shaorong to hurry back, they promptly sought Ji Heng.

Both deeply understood Bai Lian’s temperament. Especially Ren Qian, who had long experienced Bai Lian’s stern nature—having led several classmates from Xiangcheng to Jiang University—he knew Bai Lian was no ordinary person.

Sometimes, he even envied Ji Heng for having such a granddaughter.

A proud and resolute bone.

"I can’t discuss this with Alian," with Jiang Fulai’s early warning, Ji Heng wasn’t foolish; he lit a large cigarette, his tone somber, "Let’s leave the decisions to the police, whether it was intentional or not, the police will figure it out."

He slid the check that Ren Jiawei gave him across the table back to her.

"She is your own granddaughter!" Ren Qian couldn’t believe what he was hearing as he stood up, "Can you really be so heartless as to watch your own granddaughter stay in the detention center?"

Bai Lian entered using a password.

Today, dressed in a white tracksuit, she brought a chill from outside as she entered. Her gaze gravely fell on the two people in the hall, and her ink-stained eyes landed on Ren Jiawei.

Without a word, but with an aura of restrained power, Ren Qian, who had managed Xiangcheng for many years, felt her invisible pressure and stopped.
