End of the Mu family(1)

"What is that?" Liang asked. The detective gulped and informed.

"Mr. Mu had asked the driver to hire an assassin to murder Ms. Lee."

Complete silence ensued. The sounds of the chair and the paper weight all stopped. For a moment, detective Lui could swear that the sound of Liang's breathing had stopped as well.

The next thing he heard was, "don't arrest Mr. Mu before I tell you to." With that the called was disconnected and the tone rang in detective Lui's ears. Witnessing their equation in the hospital, detective Lui could figure out that Ms. Lee was very precious to president Sheng.

As a man, he could predict that, Liang would not be so harsh when it was only him who was targeted. But since his lady love was also on the hit list, he wouldn't hold back. It was just a matter of time before the Mu family would be uprooted.

True to his prediction, it took Liang only one night to destroy the Mus.

By the next morning, the shares of Mu enterprise plummeted. All the major projects under the Mus came to a standstill.

"WHAT??? How can you just pull out the investment?" Mr. Mu yelled into the phone. Yet another investor withdrew from another important project. This was the second one since morning. Even though they were willing to pay for breaching the contract, the money was not sufficient to cover the losses.

The rapidly falling share value, was another headache. Whichever way the finance department of Mu Enterprise tried to salvage the situation, many minor and some major shareholders kept on selling their shares for peanuts.

A completely disheveled Mr. Mu, was still working his ass off to save some face. It was already eleven in the night and the investment and finance department staff were still work hard to stop the free fall of the share price.

Unaware of the dire situation the family business was in, Mrs. Mu was enjoying herself with her friends at a club, playing mahjong. She did not know why, but today she lost a lot of money. Usually she would end up being the winner, but today, ever since she sat to play, she had already lost 6 million yuan. Mrs. Mu's social circle was full of ladies from the elite class, so 6 million was a small amount for them.

Falling short of money, she called her husband for more. After a long time, Mr. Mu's assistant finally answered his phone.

"Madam Mu, sir is busy right now. He won't be able to talk." Said the assistant in a hushed tone.

"I don't need him to answer the phone. I just need cash. Send someone over to the club with 3 million yuan. Fast." She commanded like the rich lady she was.

'The company is going bankrupt and this foolish lady wants 3 million yuan. The month is almost to an end, at this rate the company won't be able to give out salaries.' The assistant cursed inwards. Yet maintaining his tone he said, "Madam, sir is in big trouble. I don't think he will approve of the cash this time."

"Who the hell are you to tell me that? Put my husband on the phone right now." She demanded in a shrill voice.

Shaken to the core the assistant handed over the phone to Mr. Mu. Either ways he was in the line of fire.

Without looking at the caller ID, Mr. Mu said, "hello" he sounded urgent.

"Darling! I am at the club and I need 3 million yuan now. That stupid assistant denied me." She coyly complained.

"YOU STUPID LADY!!!" Mr. Mu yelled in the phone causing Mrs. Mu's ears to almost bleed.

'He called me stupid!' before she could retort, Mr. Mu gave her the ear bleeding news.

"You are asking for money….? here the company in going bankrupt."

Mrs. Mu was standing away from her group of friends and talking to her husband. The moment she heard about the bankruptcy, she almost lost her footing. The news left her blank for a good few minutes. She was pulled out of the void by the group of socialites, waiting for her around the mahjong table.

She did not need to disconnected the call, her husband had done that a long time back out of anger. She returned to her so called friends and excused herself.

"ladies, my husband is busy at work so he won't be able to send the money now. Don't worry I will pay up the next time we meet." She still hoped that the situation was not so serious.
