Chapter 496: Chapter 496: The Engagement Between the Bai and Mu Families
The driver of the silver-gray car, seeing that he couldn’t avoid it any longer, also seemed to have no intention of resisting and got out of the car very promptly.
Upon seeing Li Mu, a hint of vigilance appeared in his eyes.
"Sir—"
"Since you’ve been following us all this time, it would be better to just state your name directly!"
If it were those people, Li Mu wouldn’t mind taking care of things within minutes.
However, the person they’ve been tailing, who is right in front of him, didn’t seem malicious.
This was clearly something Mr. Bai had already noticed, but he never intended for Li Mu to continue investigating further.
This kind of tracking was obviously well-prepared. The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light. If we directly investigate, the information we get won’t be as much as waiting for them to come to us willingly.
And see, here they are, approaching us of their own accord.
Li Mu was internally laughing wildly, giving a standing ovation to Mr. Bai’s high intelligence.
"Sir, I... I was merely entrusted by someone."
Li Mu looked at him, still expressionless.
Song Qiang, looking at Li Mu’s impassive face, felt a chill in his heart, trying hard to appear calm, and even managed a very gentle and kind smile.
"Really, I really was just entrusted by someone."
Li Mu said nothing, his gaze turning even colder.
Song Qiang, seeing this, his heart skipped a beat, knowing he couldn’t continue being so evasive, or he’d meet a dire end.
Who is Bai Chenyao? Others might not know, but could he not know?
"This..."
Touching his nose, Song Qiang smiled very sheepishly and awkwardly.
"Actually... actually, it was my cousin, Mu Haiyun, who asked me to probe into Mr. Bai’s background. After all... after all, the Bai Family and the Mu Family have had a marriage engagement for a long time!"
Li Mu: "..."
Still expressionless, yet internally, his world was turned upside down.
An engagement for a long time?
The Bai Family and the Mu Family?
When did this happen?
As an old follower of Mr. Bai for many years, he felt this kind of matter, he should definitely know about!
But looking at Song Qiang’s demeanor, it didn’t seem like he was lying.
"Mu Haiyun?"
If he remembered correctly, she was the only heiress of the Mu Family who had just returned from studying abroad, right?
In recent years, the Mu Family had faded from the public eye, but that didn’t mean other families wouldn’t notice the Mu Family’s moves.
Though the Mu Family hasn’t been as dominant as it once was, the Mu Family definitely hadn’t declined to the point that it has only a woman as heir.
Mu Haiyun?
Is she really that formidable?
Li Mu didn’t even realize he was off-topic.
Song Qiang, seeing him still expressionless and even with a chill in his gaze, felt his calves trembling.
If it weren’t for him being blackmailed, following Bai Chenyao around this thankless and potentially disastrous task wouldn’t make him do it even if he were beaten to death.
But if he still wanted to continue working at the Kangyun Group of the Mu Family, he had no choice but to agree to these conditions.
Song Qiang was very depressed but didn’t dare to show it even a bit.
He could only use all the kindness in his life to deal with Li Mu.
"Mr. Li, everything I’m saying is true. I’m really just a runner, and I have no ill intentions toward Mr. Bai or you."
"You see... my cousin has already returned home, and the marriage engagement between the Bai Family and the Mu Family should be fulfilled."
Li Mu finally straightened his thoughts, gave Song Qiang an expressionless glance, said nothing, and turned around to get into the car.
Watching Li Mu suddenly drive away, Song Qiang, with his back drenched in cold sweat, let out a long sigh of relief.
Damn... it’s indeed a mess.
But who let himself be caught by that cousin of his!
It’s really such bad luck!
