However, as an old family that has been in Kyoto for many years, the Shen family is naturally not unprepared. They have colluded with some high-level officials and tried to use this relationship to get the green light for the investigation.

Shen made several phone calls to a senior leader, trying to resolve the matter quickly, but all this was within Mu Huaichen's expectations.

Mu Huaichen has already set his sights on several leaders who have connections with the Shen Group. Once the Shen Group asks them for help, Mu Huaichen will get the news immediately.

When Mu Huaichen and the inspectors rushed to a secret club, they caught the person in charge of Shen's company and the leader red-handed.

Thanks to Mu Huaichen's early show of weakness, and the fact that the Shen family is extremely profit-oriented, they couldn't just watch the Shen family lose so much money, so they took the risk.

The news that the head of Shen Group was arrested quickly spread on the Internet. Some partners who were still cooperating with Shen Group asked to terminate the contract, and Shen Group faced huge economic losses.

Seeing that the Shen family fell into trouble in just a few days, Old Mrs. Shen could no longer sit still, and she went straight to Mu Huaichen.

In her opinion, Mu Huaichen was also involved in this big project, and they were like grasshoppers tied to the same rope, prospering together and suffering together. If Shen's collapsed, Mu's would not be able to remain unscathed.

However, Mu Huaichen calmly threw the original project contract in front of Mrs. Shen.

The contract clearly stated that if Shen's company encountered any problems in this project, Mu's company would terminate the contract with him. What was even more shocking was that Shen Xiaoyue's name appeared on the contract.

Old Mrs. Shen stared at the contract in her hand with eyes as sharp as an eagle. Every word on the paper burned her heart like a raging fire, and her anger almost burst through her chest. This contract was different from the version that Shen Xiaoyue had shown her. Some important clauses were different from the original ones.

Old Madam Shen knew that Shen Xiaoyue had liked Mu Huaichen for many years. She even used work as an excuse to get in touch with Mu Huaichen, and was worried that Shen Xiaoyue would not be able to figure it out. Therefore, before signing the contract, she specifically asked Shen Xiaoyue to bring the contract to her for review.

However, Shen Xiaoyue's performance disappointed her.

I thought that after her teaching and reminders, Shen Xiaoyue should be able to distinguish right from wrong and weigh the pros and cons.

But the contract in front of her told her that in order to stay with Mu Huaichen, her granddaughter had actually modified the contract to cater to his wishes.

Important terms such as project risks and cooperation conditions were all glossed over.

Old Mrs. Shen felt heartbroken.

She was not only disappointed with her granddaughter's love-mindedness, but also angry at her for forgetting the family's interests and her own responsibilities.

This project is of great significance to the Shen family. Once successful, it may allow them to reach a position equal to that of the Mu Group; but if it fails, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the Shen family.

Old Mrs. Shen's hands were shaking. She tore the contract in her hand into pieces and left the Mu Group.

After calm was restored outside the office, the door slowly opened, and a petite figure walked in lightly with a box of grapes in her hands. She sat on Mu Huaichen's lap, nonchalantly showing the intimacy between the two.

"You just showed her the contract directly. Aren't you afraid that Mrs. Shen will suffocate and collapse in your office? She might even blackmail you then." Xing Nian said as he put grapes into his mouth one by one.

Mu Huaichen looked at Xing Nian. Her cheeks were puffy from eating grapes, like a cute little hamster. This made him chuckle. He reached out and gently stroked her cheek, feeling the soft touch.

"Old Madam Shen dare not fall down easily now," Mu Huaichen responded calmly, "She is the one in charge of the Shen family, and the current crisis of the Shen Group still needs her to come forward to solve it. If she falls, then the Shen Group will be truly finished."

Xing Nian nodded in agreement.

She knew that Old Lady Shen was a strong and unyielding person, and had been in control of everything in the Shen family for so many years. Although Old Lady Shen had two sons, they did not do much, so Old Lady Shen could only continue to take on this important task.

"Is it sweet?" Mu Huaichen suddenly asked.

"It's quite sweet." Xing Nian said, and handed a grape to Mu Huaichen. However, Mu Huaichen did not reach out to take the grapes from the box, but directly touched Xing Nian's lips.

He sucked gently, taking the grapes in Xing Nian's mouth one by one into his mouth.

Xing Nian could only sigh helplessly at the man's childish behavior. She knew that Mu Huaichen was teasing her, but she always felt awkward at his actions.

She gently pushed Mu Huaichen, signaling him to let her go, and then continued to eat the grapes.

In the past few days, Mrs. Shen has been like an ant on a hot pan, running around and busy dealing with the major crisis facing the Shen Group.

Shen Xiaoyue, as the project leader, was eager to find Mu Huaichen for help when she learned that the Shen family was in trouble. However, she was firmly locked up at home by Old Mrs. Shen.

Old Mrs. Shen was well aware of Shen Xiaoyue's close relationship with this project. If any problems arose, she would most likely be implicated.

In order to protect her granddaughter, Mrs. Shen spared no effort, used her own resources and connections, and made various efforts, and finally pulled Shen Xiaoyue out of the storm.

However, the broken capital chain of Shen Group was like a huge black hole, devouring the company's vitality.

Old Mrs. Shen watched the Shen Group crumbling, her heart filled with helplessness and despair. She had to sell her property in exchange for a brief respite, but the company's predicament was like an insurmountable mountain, pressing her to the point of suffocation.

Originally, the Shen Group still had a glimmer of hope, but the Shen family had offended too many people over the years.

As the saying goes, "strike while you're ill", those who had had grievances with the Shen family have stepped on the Shen Group's misfortune, making the situation even worse.

In just a few days, the Shen Group was on the verge of bankruptcy.

In desperation, Mrs. Shen suddenly remembered the phone number she hadn't contacted for a long time.

She dialed the number with trembling hands, hoping to find a ray of hope. Fortunately, the other party was willing to lend a helping hand and injected a sum of money into the Shen Group.

Although this amount of money could not prevent the bankruptcy of the Shen Group, it allowed Old Mrs. Shen to keep the Shen family's old house, leaving a glimmer of hope for the Shen family.

There was a tense and depressing atmosphere in the air of Kyoto. The sudden demise of the old aristocratic family, the Shen family, was like a bombshell, causing an uproar in Kyoto.

When the police officers appeared in the old house of the Shen family solemnly and prepared to take away old lady Shen, Shen Xiaoyue's heart was almost broken. She was unwilling to believe it and held her grandmother's hand tightly, as if this could prevent this tragedy from happening.

Old Mrs. Shen knew very well that only she, as the top person in charge of the Shen Group, could completely remove her granddaughter Shen Xiaoyue from this turmoil.

In order to protect the last bit of her family's bloodline, she resolutely accepted the police summons.

Shen Xiaoyue watched her grandmother being taken away. The despair in her heart surged like a flood. She collapsed on the ground powerlessly, tears falling like beads from a broken string.

The servants of the old house also left at this moment, looking for their own way out.

Shen Xiaoyue only had one bodyguard left. This bodyguard was carefully selected by Old Lady Shen before she was arrested. He was loyal and reliable. He helped Shen Xiaoyue up and told her that the Shen Group had gone bankrupt and that the Shen family only had this old house left. However, Shen Xiaoyue was still immersed in grief and turned a deaf ear to the bodyguard's words.

The bodyguard understood that Shen Xiaoyue needed to be alone at this moment, so he quietly left the Shen family's old house. He had another thought in his mind, which was to find the two brothers Mo Yun and Mo Feng.

The two brothers were saved by Old Lady Shen when they were young, so they have been working for the Shen family. Previously, they hid in a hotel under the Shen family because they framed the wife of the president of the Mu Group.

However, when the bodyguards arrived at the hotel, they found it empty.

The bodyguard's heart sank to the bottom. He thought that the two brothers might have fallen into Mu Huaichen's hands.
