The next morning, Mu Xiaoyu went directly to the prison on the outskirts of the city. Since Mu Pengzheng went in, she had never visited him once. It wasn't that she was escaping her past life, but rather that she loathed seeing Mu Pengzheng. Let alone visiting him, even just looking at him made Mu Xiaoyu feel disgusted.
Few people visit prisoners as early as Mu Xiaoyu. Mu Pengzheng has been serving his sentence for several years, and no one has visited him during that time. Mu Xiaoyu's sudden visit surprised even the prison guards.
However, they were all professionals, so even if they were surprised, they wouldn't show it. After completing the procedures, they brought Mu Pengzheng out.
Mu Peng was wearing the blue and white striped uniform that all prisoners wore. He was tall and handsome, and even after spending several years in prison, he still looked quite dashing. Judging from his appearance alone, he didn't look like a vicious murderer at all.
Indeed, if it weren't for such a deceptive face, how could outsiders not have believed it when Mu Peng was abusing them?
"I never expected you would come to see me."
Mu Peng sat down, saw Mu Xiaoyu across the glass, and laughed. He had handsome features, but when he laughed like that, it gave people a feeling of nausea and discomfort.
Almost instantly upon hearing Mu Pengzheng's words, Mu Xiaoyu frowned in disgust.
So many years have passed, and she originally thought that her hatred for Mu Pengzheng would fade with time. But the moment she saw Mu Pengzheng, she realized she was wrong.
Her hatred for Mu Pengzheng was almost etched into her bones, and it did not dissipate in the slightest with the passage of time.
Mu Xiaoyu took a deep breath to prevent her emotions from erupting. She clenched her hands tightly and said to Mu Pengzheng in a low voice, "When I married Li Chenxu, did you tamper with things?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Pengzheng glanced at Mu Xiaoyu with some surprise, seemingly lost in thought. Suddenly, he gave Mu Xiaoyu a meaningful yet utterly disgusting smile.
“I thought you would never ask about what happened back then. If you want to know, I can tell you, but... what benefit would I get? Xiaoyu, after all, we have been family for more than ten years. My blood flows in your veins. I have been locked up here for so many years and you have never cared about me. Now you only come to me when something happens. As your father, I am heartbroken.”
If it weren't for the thick glass separating her from Mu Pengzheng, Mu Xiaoyu would have almost slapped him hard across the face when she heard his words.
Everyone else has the right to say the words "family" and "father," but Mu Pengzheng doesn't. Mu Pengzheng is a scoundrel; the despicable things he's done are countless. Mu Xiaoyu once wanted to kill him, but now, hearing him say this, she's so disgusted she almost wants to vomit!
Mu Xiaoyu's face was extremely grim, partly because of Mu Pengzheng's words and partly because of his ulterior motives in exchanging favors. Before coming, she knew that getting the truth from Mu Pengzheng wouldn't be easy, but now that the moment had arrived, she couldn't help but feel angry.
"What do you want? Mu Pengzheng, let me tell you, even though Li Chenxu and I are married, I think you should know something about the Li family. For someone like me with no background, it's not that easy to use the resources of the Li family or Li Chenxu to do anything."
"Of course I know that, and besides, back then..."
Mu Pengzheng abruptly stopped mid-sentence, then gave Mu Xiaoyu a malicious smile and continued, "Actually, my request is very simple. You still remember my bank account number, right? I need you to go back and find a way to raise ten million and transfer it to my account. I need to see the receipt. If you can't do this, I won't tell you about what happened before."
"By the way, the information I have is not as simple as you think. Your ten million is definitely well spent. As the wife of the Li family, this ten million should be easy for you."
Ten million! Mu Pengzheng made it sound easy, but Mu Xiaoyu didn't have that much money at all. Li Chenxu had indeed given her many cards, and she had seen how much money was in them before. In addition, there were the jewelry and ornaments that Li Chenxu had bought for her in bits and pieces. It would indeed be easy to raise ten million.
However, Mu Xiaoyu didn't want to have anything to do with Li Chenxu or the Li family this time. More importantly, if she used Li Chenxu's money, Li Chenxu could easily find out what she was doing with a little investigation.
But right now, Mu Xiaoyu doesn't have that much money. If she sells the film and television rights to these two comics, she might have that much left, but all of this takes time. To get all of this done, she needs to go through a whole process, and it's not that easy to get that money.
In an instant, Mu Xiaoyu's expression changed again and again. In the end, she seemed to have used all her strength to calm herself down. She closed her eyes and remained silent for a moment. When she opened her eyes again, her gaze towards Mu Pengzheng was full of sharpness: "I can't get that much money in the short term. I think you should understand what the consequences will be if Li Chenxu finds out about this. At that time, you won't get a penny, let alone ten million."
"Why are you in such a hurry? I didn't tell you to raise that money right away. Look at how many more years it will take me to get out of there. I'm not in a hurry at all about how long it takes you to raise the money. The one who should be in a hurry is you."
Mu Pengzheng's words hit the nail on the head. No matter how well Mu Pengzheng behaves in prison, it will take him at least several years to get out. During that time, it will be easy for Mu Xiaoyu to raise ten million.
However, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't wait that long; she wanted to know the answer as soon as possible.
It left a thorn in her heart, and she couldn't pretend to live peacefully with Li Chenxu for several years. At least, she simply couldn't do it.
So when Mu Xiaoyu heard Mu Pengzheng's words, she didn't hesitate or look at him again. She turned around and said, "Okay, I'll find a way to get the ten million. But Mu Pengzheng, you'd better listen carefully. If what you say later is true, I'll give you the ten million. But if what you say is false, I also have a way to make sure you spend the rest of your life here!"
