Chapter 1054 - 1050: Biting Back
Xin Lin looked at Mu Chen with a face full of sympathy.
It seemed like Mu Chen had noticed something.
But even if he had noticed, there was no way he could find Gui Hu.
Not to mention, with both witness and evidence present, it wasn’t going to be easy for Mu Chen to clear his name this time.
How sad, Mu San~
"Do you have anything to explain!"
Tu Suxia glared angrily at Mu Chen.
Today, Mu Chen had to give an explanation. He and the Spiritual Delicacy Master Association absolutely wouldn’t let this go.
Mu Chen’s face was somber, and after a moment, he suddenly tugged at the corner of his mouth and said mockingly.
"Tu Suxia, stop slandering me with false accusations. When did I ever go to Taoyao Pavilion? Last night I was at Longteng Palace, feasting with Emperor Longteng and Empress Feng and others. If you don’t believe me, you can ask them; they can testify for me."
Mu Chen said unhurriedly.
Emperor Longteng and Empress Feng, this...
Xin Lin was quite surprised.
Unexpectedly, Mu Chen had such a backup plan.
"You’re talking nonsense! You were obviously at Taoyao Pavilion! Everyone saw you there."
Tu Suxia still didn’t believe him.
"If you don’t believe me, I can get Long Qingchen from Qingtian Academy over here; he was present at the time. In addition, there were also the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince. The Seventh Prince is right here; Seventh Prince, can you testify for me? Was I at the palace last night?"
Mu Chen glanced at Little Xinzhuo.
Suddenly being named, Little Xinzhuo was a bit confused.
"Master Mu was indeed at the palace; I can testify."
Little Xinzhuo quickly nodded.
Soon, Long Qingchen was brought over as well. Long Qingchen also testified that Mu Chen was at the palace until around midnight when the feast ended, and he left.
"President Tu Su, do you have anything else to say? The facts show that someone impersonated me. And you all were deceived by him."
Mu Chen sneered coldly.
That Corpse King, he was really too despicable. Just because he had been followed a few times, he set such a trap for Mu Chen.
Twenty million!
Luckily, he had witnesses; otherwise, he was truly done for!
"You... that person..."
Tu Suxia looked shaky.
"President Tu Su, if there’s nothing else, please leave. You can’t afford to delay my teaching."
Mu Chen made a gesture of invitation.
Tu Suxia opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a word.
Now that things had reached this point, Tu Suxia also knew that he had definitely been tricked.
But who exactly was the other party, and why did they deceive him?
Twenty million taels in silver notes had been reduced to joss paper; he had spent over a million on severance fees alone. Who should he settle this account with?
Fortunately, the monk can’t run away, and the temple will still be there -- Taoyao Pavilion at least still exists!
That person has to run Taoyao Pavilion; sooner or later, they’ll show themselves.
He’ll just wait for that person to slip up.
"Mr. Mu, there’s much misunderstanding in this matter; I beg your forgiveness."
Tu Suxia made a gesture of invitation and left in embarrassment.
"Master Mu, so you’re not actually a big tycoon?"
As soon as Tu Suxia left, Xin Lin pretended to be disappointed.
"So you all knew early on? And didn’t even give me a heads-up, almost causing a huge mess."
Although he drove Tu Suxia away, Mu Chen still felt quite troubled.
This incident was so big, it must have spread to Fengdong.
He still had to go explain to his family, he had no real evidence to prove the Corpse King had impersonated him, and he couldn’t avoid being reprimanded by his family.
Additionally, the students from the Class A Academy were coming, one thing after another, and he was quite overwhelmed.
