He stretched out his hand, put his arm around her back, and patted her gently.

"Don't be afraid, am I back?"

His voice was so gentle that Mu Qing burst into tears instantly.

Her crying gradually became louder. She was like a helpless child. She didn't know anything. She didn't know why so many people scolded her father, let alone whether Mu Changmin could come back.

"Dad...What's wrong with dad? When will he come home? I miss him so much. I want to see him..."

Mu Changmin had loved her to the core since she was a child. She didn't have to worry about the consequences of anything she did, because he would help her deal with the aftermath.

Now that something happened to him, she felt like an unwanted child. She was scared, helpless, and didn't even dare to close her eyes.

"Xingzhou, will something happen to dad? Will he go to jail? Will I be able to see him again..."

She hugged him and cried hard. Gu Xingzhou kept patting her shoulders and comforting her.

Finally, her crying stopped. Gu Xingzhou seemed to be relieved, but he felt guilty in his heart.

He used a tissue to wipe away her tears, and then comforted her, "Mu Qing, your father has been reported and is now being taken away by comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission for investigation. He will come back as soon as the investigation is clear."

Mu Qing's eyes suddenly shone with light, and she grabbed his hand, excited and happy.

"Is it true, dad will be back soon?"

Gu Xingzhou nodded.

Knowing that Mu Changmin would come back, Mu Qing finally felt at ease. She knew that he would be fine.

Gu Xingzhou helped her stand firm and gently persuaded her, "Then let's go eat now, okay?"

Mu Qing nodded foolishly, but still hugged his arm tightly, like an insecure child.

Gu Xingzhou's eyes fell on her hand holding his arm, his eyes darkened slightly.

……

Twelve hours had passed since Mu Changmin was taken away.

Jian Qiao was cautious at first, fearing that Liu Jinsong would try his best to protect him, but he never made any move.

Come to think of it, now he also wants to protect himself wisely and abandons Mu Changmin as a chess piece.

It's just that Mu Changmin must know a lot of things about him. If he ignores him completely, Mu Changmin will definitely jump over the wall and reveal everything about him.

Among them, no one is cleaner than the other.

Jian Qiao contacted Zhou Zhengyuan several times, but this time it was the comrades of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission who took Mu Changmin away. Even if he was a whistleblower, it would be difficult for him to get information.

Jian Qiao knew how determined he needed to be to do this. Although he had become the mayor of Nancheng, there was no guarantee that Liu Jinsong would not deal with him.

After much deliberation, she decided to give him a call.

It took a while for the phone to be connected, and a man's voice came from the other end, still as upright and serious as ever.

"Miss Jane."

"Mr. Zhou, congratulations on becoming the mayor of Nancheng."

There was no obvious joy in the man's voice. He just asked her, "Are you just calling me to congratulate me? This is not like your Miss Jian's character."

Jian Qiao didn't expect that in such a short time of knowing her, he would find out everything about her.

Although she was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, she still wanted to warn him.

"Mayor Zhou, be careful of Liu Jinsong. Although he and you are both leaders of Nancheng, he has greater authority than you, and he has colluded with Mu Changmin before. If you report him this time, it may also threaten his interests. , you must be careful.”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and Jian Qiao was a little worried, afraid that he would ask her how she knew.

But now, she has no clear evidence of collusion between Mu Changmin and Liu Jinsong.Zhou Zhengyuan seemed to know her worries and did not ask further questions. He just responded politely, "Thank you, Miss Jian, for the reminder."

Such a short sentence made Jian Qiao feel relieved.

She knew he was a very smart man.

After hanging up the phone, she carefully went downstairs and saw that the old man was still sitting on the sofa in the living room, and Gu Yanchuan was standing beside him.

She was surprised and happy, and her pace speeded up unconsciously.

"How did you come?"

Hearing his voice, the young man stood up quickly, then walked quickly to the stairs and held her steady.

"Your injury hasn't healed yet, so you can't run."

Jian Qiao looked unconcerned, "It's just a skin injury, it's okay."

The young man's face was unusually serious, "The stones have sunk into your flesh. Do you want to leave a scar?"

Jian Qiao shrank her neck guiltily, "I don't want to."

The young man pulled her to the sofa and sat down. The old man heard the sound and looked up at him.

"Just listen to Yanchuan. I can rest assured that he is by your side."

"grandfather……"

Jian Qiao found it strange that Gu Yanchuan had such great ability and that his grandfather had such confidence in him in such a short period of time.

The old man didn't say any more, but just pushed the tablet to her.

"The Mu Changmin matter is making a big fuss right now. The companies under his name will soon be thoroughly investigated. If the charges of corruption, bribery and tax evasion are true, he is afraid that he will be thrown into jail. Your property may be confiscated."

Jian Qiao picked up the computer and saw that the subscription account of Nancheng Economic Channel reported this matter. There were many comments below, most of them discussing how Mu Changmin would be sentenced if his crime was proven.

Jian Qiao brushed it off one by one, but still couldn't help but worry.

"Will Mu Changmin be brought down just like this? Will he have a back-up plan? He loves Mu Qing so much that it is impossible not to plan for her. If the property in his name is really confiscated, then Mu Qing will not Are you going to live on the streets?”

She didn't believe that Mu Changmin would be so arrogant, thinking that he would never fall.

After listening to her words, the old man seemed thoughtful.

"This is very possible, and I heard that none of the servants and bodyguards in the Mu family villa have left. Apparently someone has informed them a long time ago."

Jian Qiao finally realized that she had simplified things after all.

Mu Changmin must have a backup plan. Even if he does go to jail in the future, he will still have a way to ensure that Mu Qing lives a worry-free life.

She was anxious to check on Mu Qing, but Gu Yanchuan was frightened when he saw her making such a big move.

He pressed her down on the sofa again with a worried look on his face, but the words he said were extremely reassuring.

"I'll go, I'll check, but this will most likely involve overseas accounts. I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Mu Changmin is too shrewd, this matter cannot be that simple.

Jian Qiao raised her head and looked at him, her eyes burning.

"I'll check it out with you!"

With his company on this road of revenge, she was no longer alone, and she felt extremely lucky.

Gu Yanchuan looked down at her, hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed.

"Okay, let's go together." (End of chapter)
