Chapter 220 Gloomy
Li Chenxu stared silently at the documents in his hand. By the time he finished reading them, his face was incredibly gloomy.
If it weren't for the clue provided by Qiangzi this time, they would probably still believe that this Mu Chao is the real Mu Pengzheng. And if they had overlooked the real Mu Pengzheng, who knows how much danger would have beenfallen...
Assistant Lin had obviously thought of this as well, and now he was somewhat frightened by Li Chenxu's gloomy face.
"Did he say where Li Chenxu is now?"
With a snap, Li Chenxu closed the document, his gaze turning icy as he looked at Mu Chao, who was muffled by a hand covering his mouth and looked terrified.
Upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, Assistant Lin's expression immediately became troubled: "He said that the person who had been in contact with him all along was not Mu Pengzheng, but someone else, and that person lost contact with him a few months ago, and now he has no other clues at all."
"That person? Who is it?"
Upon hearing this, Assistant Lin handed the results of their interrogation to Li Chenxu again, and said, "They all call that person Mr. A. He has a rather refined appearance, is around thirty years old, has an elite look, and wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses... However, we have investigated the confidants of those prominent figures in the capital, and there is no such person. There are quite a few people around thirty years old, but none of them wear gold-rimmed glasses."
“Go to the police station and ask them to bring the artist over so he can draw a portrait based on what this person described.”
After hearing Lin Zhu's words, Li Chenxu replied without hesitation.
It's clear that Mu Pengzheng and the person behind him are very cautious in their actions, and it's quite obvious that they started planning this several years ago, shortly after Mu Pengzheng entered prison.
Upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, Assistant Lin immediately understood and quickly instructed his subordinates to make arrangements. Finally, he cautiously asked Li Chenxu, "Then, sir, what should we do with this person now?"
“Keep him locked up. I don’t believe that after years of contact with people over there, all he has is this little bit of useful information.”
As Li Chenxu spoke, he stood up, his icy gaze like a poisoned knife, sending chills down the spines of those who looked at him. Mu Chao, in particular, trembled with fear when he saw Li Chenxu's eyes. It was as if Li Chenxu had truly guessed correctly; he lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Chenxu again.
His cowardly and timid appearance filled Li Chenxu with disgust. He didn't say anything more and left the room.
He'd hand the case over to his men for further questioning first; if the other party remained silent, he could then take action...
As Li Chenxu left the basement and went upstairs, he saw Mu Xiaoyu standing at the bottom of the stairs. Seemingly still a little dazed, Mu Xiaoyu asked, seeing Li Chenxu coming up from the basement, "What were you doing in the basement?"
"We've found the person you saw earlier."
Li Chenxu did not hide anything, and besides, they hadn't done anything to Mu Chao yet, so there was no need to hide anything at this time.
Li Chenxu's words immediately brought Mu Xiaoyu to her senses: "Is he... Mu Pengzheng?"
"no……"
Li Chenxu shook his head and briefly told Mu Xiaoyu what he knew, then added, "But don't worry, our investigation has made a breakthrough, and things will be much smoother than before."
Mu Xiaoyu didn't speak, but her delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
"Xiaoyu, you..."
"I'm fine. I was just wondering what Mu Pengzheng really wanted to do."
Knowing that Li Chenxu was worried about her, Mu Xiaoyu looked up at Li Chenxu before he could finish speaking, revealing a faint smile that comforted him.
Li Chenxu frowned as he looked at Mu Xiaoyu. Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, he felt a little relieved.
He took Mu Xiaoyu's hand, thought for a moment, and said, "If you have any questions, just ask me. The people behind Mu Pengzheng are extremely complicated. If you go alone, you might get into trouble."
This was no small matter to begin with. Although Mu Xiaoyu had been thinking of handling this on her own, she knew that she couldn't solve it by herself alone, and there was no need for her to show off in such a matter.
So she nodded, thought for a moment, and couldn't help but remind Li Chenxu, "You should also be careful about this. Mu Pengzheng has gone this far this time... it's completely beyond my expectations. I'm afraid he might also target you..."
"I understand, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself and nothing will happen. What will you do if something happens to me?"
The intimate words between lovers instantly calmed Mu Xiaoyu's anxious heart. She tiptoed and kissed Li Chenxu on the lips before going upstairs, satisfied.
The news of Li Chenxu's departure from the Li family spread throughout the capital the very next day. Just as Li Chenxu had told Mu Xiaoyu before, once the news spread, all the best companies in the capital extended olive branches to Li Chenxu.
Of course, some are still observing the situation.
Ultimately, even if Li Chenxu leaves the Li family, he will always be a member of the Li family. Moreover, among Li Chenxu's generation, he is the only one who is truly capable. How could Old Master Li possibly bear to let Li Chenxu leave the Li family?
Mu Xiaoyu looked at the endless stream of phone calls and text messages and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. She winked at Li Chenxu and said, "Why aren't you answering the phone? Are you scared?"
Although this was an outcome Li Chenxu had anticipated, the incessant phone calls that had started late last night left him somewhat helpless. These people would become partners in the new company, and there would be many more opportunities to meet and collaborate in the future, so he couldn't simply refuse them, hence the current situation.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's gloating expression, Li Chenxu was filled with helplessness. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, giving her a good thrashing before finally stopping.
"I'm going to Chengyu later, do you want to go and see him?"
Chengyu is the company that Li Chenxu founded for Mu Xiaoyu. Since Li Chenxu's focus will shift to Chengyu in the future, he naturally needs to go to Chengyu now to plan things out properly.
"Of course I have to go! After all, I'm Chengyu's boss. How can the boss not go?"
When Chengyu was founded, Li Chenxu made Mu Xiaoyu the legal representative. So, strictly speaking, the current boss of Chengyu is Mu Xiaoyu.
