#Yanhe International President Assaults Father-in-Law#

#Yanhe International's stock price plummeted#

#Mucheng Rib Fracture#

Three terms appeared on the trending search list, with the red "hot" label standing out starkly.

Mu Cheng leaned against the hospital bed, swiping his phone screen with a slight smile on his lips. Public opinion had completely sided with him, with the comments section unanimously condemning Bo Yan for abusing his power and being a hypocrite.

He was waiting for Bo Yan to come and sue for peace.

With Yanhe International's stock price plummeting, the old shareholders of the Bo family won't sit idly by. No matter how crazy Bo Yan is, he still has to consider the weight of capital.

At that time, he can set the conditions at will.

"Mr. Mu." The assistant's voice was strained as the phone rang.

Mu Cheng smiled and said, "Did Bo Yan send a message? Don't rush to reply, let him wait half an hour."

"Yanhe International... just officially sent a letter announcing the withdrawal of investment." The assistant's voice was tense. "The legal team is already processing the paperwork. Mu's cash flow will be cut off today, and all related projects will be suspended. The banks have already started withdrawing loans."

Mu Cheng's smile froze.

"What did you say?"

"Yanhe International has withdrawn its investment. The Mu family... can't hold on any longer."

The phone slipped from Mu Cheng's hand and landed on the bed.

Xu Ruolin pushed open the door carrying a thermos and carefully placed the porridge on the bedside table: "Acheng, eat something first..."

"Eat my ass! What kind of appetite do I have right now?" Mu Cheng swept his hand back, sending the thermos flying. The scalding hot porridge splashed onto Xu Ruolin's hand. She screamed, clutching her hand and backing away, tears streaming down her face.

Mu Cheng didn't even glance at her; his face was ashen, and his fingertips were white.

Withdrawal of investment. Complete withdrawal of investment.

The Mu family and Yanhe International had been deeply intertwined for three years. Bo Yan's move wasn't just a cut to the flesh, it was a cut to the bone. The Mu family is finished. Even if Yanhe International's stock price falls, that's just a superficial wound; the Mu family is dead.

"It must be Mu Siwan...it must be that bitch..." he muttered, his voice growing louder, then he suddenly looked up and glared at Xu Ruolin, "You've raised a fine daughter!"

Xu Ruolin covered the back of her hand and cried uncontrollably.

"Cry! What's the use of crying!" Mu Cheng grabbed a glass bowl and smashed it against the wall, the pieces grazing Xu Ruolin's ear. "Go beg her! Go beg Mu Siwan! Go now!"

He took a few breaths, then suddenly remembered something, and his expression changed.

At the birthday banquet, Mr. Zhao from Hengyuan Group glanced at Meng Wan several times and told him that he was interested in her. Mu Cheng took a deep breath, his voice lowered, carrying an eerie calm.

"We can't just sit here and wait to die. Go, contact General Manager Zhao. Tell him... my daughter wants to invite him to dinner."

Xu Ruolin's crying stopped abruptly.

She looked up, her face streaked with tears, staring at him in disbelief.

"Mu Cheng, are you even human? President Zhao is forty-five this year! His son is almost an adult! You want Wanwan to marry him and become a stepmother?"

"Shut up!" Veins bulged on Mu Cheng's forehead. "If you hadn't insisted on adopting that little beast Mu Siwan, would I be in this situation today? What's wrong with President Zhao? Apart from being a bit older, how is President Zhao not better than others? Now that Meng Wan has returned to the Mu family and is enjoying their resources, she should do something for the Mu family—"

"boom--"

Xu Ruolin picked up a stool from the side and smashed it against Mu Cheng's bedside. Bowls and plates shattered, and porridge splattered all over the wall.

"Get out! Get out! I won't allow it!" She smashed everything she could find around her, trembling all over. "You've abused Mu Siwan for over a decade, and I couldn't stop you. But Wanwan is my own daughter! If you dare touch a single hair on her head, I'll fight you to the death!"

Mu Cheng stared at her, his lips trembling, about to speak—

The door was pushed open.

Two uniformed policemen walked in; the one in the lead took out his badge and looked solemn.

"Mr. Mu Cheng, we have received a report that you are suspected of financial crimes—falsifying financial statements, defrauding banks of loans, and illegally accepting public deposits. This is the detention warrant. Please come with us."

The ward fell silent.

Xu Ruolin's tears were still on her face, her mouth was open, but she couldn't make a sound.

Mu Cheng lay frozen on the bed, his face turning from white to green, then from green to gray, like a wall that was cracking.

The police helped him up from the hospital bed. As he passed Xu Ruolin, he stopped and gave her a strangely calm look.

That glance was subtle, but Xu Ruolin understood it.

Just like every time in the past three years—she was made to beg Mu Siwan.

Appraisal Center.

Xiao Qin stared at the endless stream of "explosive" characters on her phone screen and let out a wail.

"My stocks! Stocks I bought at Yanhe International!"

She secretly glanced at Mu Siwan sitting next to her.

Mu Siwan was acting strangely today. Usually at this time, she would already be writing her third report, her fingers tapping the keyboard at a steady, metronome-like pace. But now, she was staring at her phone screen, her eyebrows furrowed, her lips pressed into a thin line.

The top trending topic: #Yanhe International President Assaults Father-in-Law#

Second trending topic: #Yanhe International's stock price plummets#

Xiao Qin cleared his throat, deciding to cheer up his master.

"Don't worry, Master, there are still many people on Master's side." She held up her phone and began reading the comments, "Ahem, let me read you a few—"

"An old man and a handsome guy, I can tell who's right and who's wrong at just one glance."

"While hitting someone is wrong, on another note—the president of Yanhe International is so handsome? I'll buy some stock to support him."

"I'm guilty, for even thinking about this now... Could it be that the domineering CEO acted impulsively for the sake of a woman?"

After reading the last message, Xiao Qin saw that Mu Siwan still didn't react much, so she awkwardly exited the trending topics and refreshed the page.

The trending topics list has changed, with several new trending topics appearing unexpectedly.

"Master! Look!"

She handed him the phone. On the screen, several new trending topics were climbing at a visible speed.

#Economic Crimes of Urban Construction Group# Boiling Point → Explosive

#City Construction Group Bankruptcy# Boiling Point → Explosive

#BoYanCitizens'Light# New

In less than two hours, public opinion completely reversed.

Initially, several financial media outlets simultaneously reported that Chengjian Group—the real estate company under Mucheng—had long been involved in illegal construction, shoddy workmanship, and falsified completion and acceptance reports. Subsequently, more shady dealings were uncovered: multiple projects under construction started without passing environmental impact assessments, the company owed suppliers hundreds of millions of yuan, and two buildings were even found to have used substandard steel bars, posing serious safety hazards.

Following this, clues about economic crimes surfaced. An anonymous whistleblower letter exposed multiple offenses committed by the Urban Construction Group, including transferring assets through related-party transactions, inflating profits to defraud bank loans, and illegally absorbing public deposits.

The direction of netizens' comments reversed overnight.

"So the person Bo Yan hit was a shady real estate developer?"

"I checked, and it seems that the boss of the urban construction group had a safety accident before, but it was covered up."

"What was the reason for the assault? It couldn't have happened without cause, could it? Let's wait for a twist."

"No matter what, I stand with President Bo when it comes to cracking down on unscrupulous developers."

"So, is it a good time to buy Yanhe International's stock now? I need an answer urgently."
