Chapter 1572

“Mistress?” Mu Xiaojiu looked up at him, his gaze indifferent.

He already knew what kind of person Mu Haoguo was, so having a few mistresses wasn’t surprising.

Ye Hua nodded and reported the information he had gathered back to Mu Xiaojiu in detail.

“The brothers who investigated reported that this woman is in contact with an external fraud group, and it’s very likely they’ve arranged for her to swindle the second master out of his money.”

“Fraud organization?” Mu Xiaojiu’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Let her continue then.”

“Not going to stop her?” Ye Hua was slightly taken aback, looking at his face with its stark lines.

“Aren’t you afraid she’ll trick the second master out of his shares as well?”

“Have the brothers keep an eye on the woman; as long as she’s within our control, there’s no need to worry. Who knows, we might even find her useful when the time comes.”

Mu Haoguo was a cautious person, and his shares hadn’t been touched yet.

If the time comes when shares aren’t enough, acquiring Mu Haoguo’s will be necessary.

What fraud organization, Mu Xiaojiu didn’t even pay them any mind.

In Jin City, who could truly pose a threat to the Mu Group?

If it’s inconvenient for him to act then, this fraud organization might serve as a facade.

“Okay, I’ll instruct the brothers.”

As Ye Hua spoke, he cautiously glanced at Mu Xiaojiu.

“Then, should I go now?”

Whenever discussing these matters with Mr.

Xiaojiu, his mood was always poor.

The chill emanating from Mu Xiaojiu constantly, made him feel pressured.

Ye Hua also wanted to alleviate some of his burdens, willing to do anything to make Mr.

Xiaojiu happy.

But clearly, no matter what he said or did, Mr.

Xiaojiu wasn’t cheered up.

Perhaps, here and now, only one person could make Mr.

Xiaojiu happy…

Mu Xiaojiu softly hummed in acknowledgment, closed his eyes, and reclined on the chair.

Only then did Ye Hua stand up gently, gave him a bow, and turned to walk toward the door.

“Wait…” A calm voice came back from behind him again.

Ye Hua froze, instantly stopping where he was.

He turned around, looked at Mu Xiaojiu, and spoke softly, “Mr.

Xiaojiu, is there anything else?”

“Where are Xiaxia and her friend now?”

Ye Hua breathed a sigh of relief, realizing it was just about Miss Xiaxia; discussing these matters wouldn’t anger Mr.

Xiaojiu that much.

Sure enough, looking at Mu Xiaojiu, the deep furrows between his brows had noticeably eased.

“Miss Xiaxia and her friends are now at the main house.” Ye Hua said respectfully.

After he finished speaking, Mu Xiaojiu nodded slightly, waved his hand, and let him retreat.

Once Ye Hua was out the door, Mu Xiaojiu rested with eyes closed for a moment before opening them and closing his laptop.

He stood up, walked out of the study, and headed toward the main house.

It wasn’t long before Mu Xiaojiu reached the main house.

The hall was empty; likely, Xiaxia and her friends were staying in Zimo’s room.

Although Mu Xiaojiu was somewhat inept when it comes to women, he could also tell.

Girls like Zimo, with such a personality, would most enjoy shutting themselves in somewhere to stay.

He was just about to go upstairs to find Baili Xia when footsteps sounded from outside the door.

“Uncle.” Mu Lingchuan had yet to step into the hall when he greeted Mu Xiaojiu.

Mu Xiaojiu turned to look at him, responding faintly.

It was clear that his mood was quite ordinary when he saw Mu Lingchuan.

Mu Lingchuan couldn’t help but shiver slightly in his heart, “Uncle, are you here to see Xiaxia?”

In fact, Mu Lingchuan himself didn’t know why, Xiaxia was clearly Xiaoyao’s woman.

But once he thought of that girl, he inevitably thought of his uncle.

Xiaxia and his uncle…

he chuckled lightly, perhaps he was overthinking.
