Butler Mu was an elderly man.
It was already 11 pm and he was already asleep. He was completely unaware of what had happened online.
When he heard what Mu Zining said, he immediately woke up.
It was the first time he saw Mu Zining with that kind of expression.
This meant that what Mu Nan told him previously was real.
But Butler Mu didn't say who told him that. He just looked at Mu Zining and said, "I got the information out of nowhere. Miss Zining, are you alright?"
Mu Zining took a long look at him before leaving.
As he saw her leave, Butler Mu stood at his door. He then asked someone to investigate the matter with a solemn expression.
...
Both Shanghai and the online community were in an uproar tonight.
But none of it affected Qin Ran.
It was only the next day when she got woken up by Lin Siran's video call that she knew what happened.
She chatted on the phone while brushing her teeth. Then, she said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go off first. I need to brush my teeth."
After she was done, she opened up WeChat.
On WeChat, Editor Shen had sent her a string of "..."
She replied the same thing to him.
She continued scrolling her phone as she strolled downstairs. She saw a huge amount of unread messages on WeChat. Mu Nan had sent her a message too.
[I will be heading to S University with my mom today. ]
Qin Ran took a second glance at the message as she recalled what Ning Wei said a couple of days ago. She then drank her milk while deep in thought.
She sent Mu Nan a sentence.
He told her.
[Old Master Mu would like to have a meal with you. ]
"What do you know about the research institutes in Shanghai?" she asked smilingly while looking at Cheng Juan.
Ning Wei felt that something was amiss when she came to Shanghai.
Cheng Juan left a piece of bread by her side and said, "I've asked Master Liu to help research S University's chemical and pharmaceutical research institutes."
Even though Cheng Tu and the gang were almost in Shanghai.
The Liu family had the longest history here. It would be a piece of cake for them to do it.
It shouldn't take long.
"Alright, " Qin Ran replied as she bit the bread.
As they were originally from here, they should have the best information.
...
Pinnacle Studios.
Someone on Weibo consolidated Qin Ran's fans list. Hundreds of thousands of people went to the Pinnacle Studios platform to read the comics and also looked at her fans' ranking as well.
This caused their recently-upgraded servers to crash again.
The staff had to ask for mercy from the netizens.
But the netizens replied: [Calm down. Weibo's servers have crashed so many times, have they complained?]
[Ask God Qin to help with the upgrade. There's more to come. Let me help you with tagging @MagicLamp @QR]
The staff was speechless.
In Mo Zhihuai's office. He had extended the contract with Editor Shen's help.
The contract this time wasn't formulated by Magic Lamp, it was done by the Qin Corporation.
In the other office, the Mo family head and the Mo family's higher-ups breathed a sigh of relief.
Old Master Mo was about to leave after making sure that the Magic Lamp issue was solved.
But the secretary entered the office, bringing someone along."Young Master Mo, Master Liu sent you an invitation."
Mo Zhihuai was so shocked that he lost his grip on his pen. He then asked, "Master Liu?"
Master Liu was even more powerful than his grandpa.
Such a powerful man in Shanghai... Why would he send him an invitation?
Even the Mo family head was shocked. The Liu family had managed to establish connections with the two continents. They were the most powerful family in Shanghai. He asked, "Liu Jue?"
He knew the subordinate Master Liu trusted the most — Liu Jue.
Liu Jue left a gift as he looked at Mo Zhihuai. He then lamented about Mo Zhihuai's good fortune and said, "Young Master Mo, our master is sincere in inviting you."
He passed the invitation to Mo Zhihuai and then left.
In the office, everyone exchanged glances. After a while, Old Master Mo asked, "Zhihuai, how did you know Master Liu? Liu Jue is one of his most trusted subordinates."
Mo Zhihuai shook his head.
He just stared at Liu Jue as the latter departed.
And fell into deep thought.
After Old Master Mo left, Editor Shen looked at Mo Zhihuai and asked, "Young Master Mo, regarding Liu Jue just now..."
Mo Zhihuai looked at him and answered, "I remember him. He was the delivery person that came on the 14th of June."
Editor Shen was shocked. That was the day Magic Lamp extended the contract.
He immediately sent her a message—
[Great God, how did your contract arrive?]
Magic lamp replied in a couple of seconds—
[It wasn't by delivery. I've asked someone to send it to you. ]
Mo Zhihuai saw the message as well.
The two of them exchanged glances and could see the shock in each others' eyes.
She was so powerful that she could get Master Liu's trusted subordinate to deliver it for her...
After a while, Mo Zhihuai looked at Editor Shen and said, "I would like to meet Magic Lamp the Great God, could you help me to arrange for it?"
Editor Shen replied, "I'll help to ask."
...
In the Mu family.
Butler Mu received information about what had happened between Mu Zining and the Mo family.
Mu Zining was a high-profile person, and everything that happened on Weibo could not be hidden. Not to mention that it was such huge news.
There weren't many female celebrities in Shanghai. This was especially because the Liu family didn't have any females for this generation. Even though Mu Zining was the first female celebrity in Shanghai, she was nothing compared to Cheng Wenru and Qin Ran from the capital.
After he understood everything, Butler Mu approached Old Master Mu and Project Director Mu to discuss what measure they should take.
The group of people exchanged glances, seeing the shock on each others' faces.
They were reminded about what Mu Nan warned.
"Old Master, even the Mo family was affected. The families in the capital are really powerful. Just that... How did Young Master Mu Nan know that the Qin family was behind all these..." asked Project Director Mu.
He felt lucky as he wasn't a part of the saga yesterday because of what Butler Mu had said. Else, the Qin family would have included the Mu family in their revenge...
Butler Mu was worried the entire night as well. He asked, "What about Miss Zining..."
No one answered him. They just exchanged glances.
It was now impossible for Mu Zining to continue her work in the comic industry. Especially after offending Mo Zhihuai and the Eldest Lady from the Qin family.
Her status in Shanghai was in most part because of Third Young Master Mo.
The Mo family was nothing compared to the capital, but they were still the top family in Shanghai. The Mu family couldn't be compared to them as well.
They no longer had any advantage in the entire situation. Now that Mu Nan had appeared in the scene, the Mu family were going to shift their focus.
Old Master Mu shook his head. He had warned Mu Zining already. Hence, this was her own wrong-doing. He sighed and said, "Butler Mu, have you asked Mu Nan to invite them to the Mu family home for my birthday? Invite his cousin and mom as well. Wait, let's not ask him. Inviting his cousin directly would be better."
Mu Nan was really stubborn at the moment.
Convincing his cousin would be the easier way.
Old Master Mu felt like he needed to thank his cousin as he had benefited a lot from the medicine that he got from her and wanted to give something in return.
"Oh." Butler Mu replied with a nod. He understood that Ning Wei and Mu Nan respected her cousin a lot."I'll ask Mr. Cheng Mu. I'm not sure where she's staying..."
It was an important matter. Butler Mu wanted to invite her personally.
As they spoke, someone left after standing outside the study room.
At Mu Zining's room.
After she heard what her trusted subordinate reported, Mu Zining said, "Mu Nan... I knew it, he's up to no good!"
Mu Zongxi had a strange look on his face as he held onto a cigarette. He spoke after a while."Zining, Mu Nan is a threat. Old Master is already siding with Mu Nan while I'm still around. Does he have any regards for us?"
Mu Zining didn't reply to him.
It was over between Mo Zhihuai and her. Without the support from the Mo family, she was doomed to suffer in the Mu family. Especially since Mu Zongxi told her that some were siding with Mu Nan along with Old Master Mu's will...
Mu Zining lifted her head and said, "Dad, let's do it."
Mu Zining was ruthless. If she weren't, she wouldn't be where she was today.
...
Butler Mu contacted Cheng Mu immediately. Cheng Mu told him Qin Ran's address after seeking her permission.
Butler Mu was shocked by the address. It was a place for the rich and powerful.
But when he considered the medicine that she gifted Old Master Mu, he wasn't surprised anymore.
Old Master Mu was still unwell. Hence, he asked Butler Mu to invite Mu Nan's cousin.
Butler Mu dressed himself up and went to meet Qin Ran to pass her the invitation written by Old Master Mu.
The chauffeur drove him to the place. When they reached and the chauffeur saw the huge building, he said, "Young Master's cousin has an impressive house."
Not everyone in the Mu family knew about Mu Nan's cousin.
Butler Mu asked the chauffeur out of curiosity, "How did you know?"
The chauffeur replied mysteriously, "When the young master went to look for his cousin, military personnel were stationed around the place."
The chauffeur was referring to Gu Xichi's place. It was only accessible for the powerful.
Butler Mu was shocked.
He looked for unit 1201. He then tidied himself up and rang the doorbell.
The door opened immediately.
However, the person that opened the door wasn't Cheng Mu, it was another handsome face.
Butler Mu knew him. Taken aback, he panicked."I'm... I'm so sorry Young Master Mo. I must have gotten the wrong place. I'm heading to the 12th floor."
Cheng Mu popped his head from behind Mo Zhihuai and said, "Butler Mu, why have you arrived so quickly? Come in."
Mo Zhihuai gave way to him and said, "Please, come in."
Butler Mu didn't move.
