A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 407

"Miss Qiu, we were really instigated by someone else, and it's that Qiu Mu-Ying from the Qiu family! She wanted to frame your company and she said that you were an unethical person and said that Mufan Real Estate was operating illegally and convinced us to do this...”

Wang Tian continued to beg for mercy in the hall. Wu Yong didn't say anything and just looked upset as he hung his head. But his silence meant that he agreed with what Wang Tian said.

Chu Wen-Fei was a childhood friend of Wu Yong's, so Wu Yong wasn't going to betray his old friend. But Wang Tian wasn't bothered by this because he didn't know Chu Wen-Fei before this.

Now that the two of them had gotten into trouble thanks to this couple, Wang Tian was so angry that he wanted to kick the couple to death now.

So now that he was given the chance, Wang Tian was going to make sure this couple went down together with them.

The Qius were all pale in the face now.

Qiu Mu-Ying's face was particularly pale, and her heart was fearful.

None of them had thought that things would turn out like that.

By this time, Wu Wei-Tao's gaze had fallen upon the Qiu family.

"Qiu Mu-Ying? The Qiu family? Do you have a feud with Mufan Real Estate?" asked Wu Wei-Tao with a frown.

His icy and unhappy voice made Qiu Guang and his family shudder.

"Mayor Wu, this is a misunderstanding, it's just a misunderstanding.” As the current head of Qiushui Logistics, Qiu Guang spoke out on behalf of the family. His face was covered with cold sweat and he quickly put a big smile on. "Mayor Wu, this is really just a misunderstanding."

"Qiushui Logistics and Mufan Real Estate belong to the same family. Miss Qiu here is my actual niece, her father and myself are brothers. Blood is thicker than water, so we're more than happy to become close to their company. How could there be a feud between us?"

"One family?" asked Wu Wei-Tao with some surprise.

"That's right, Mayor Wu, we're one family," Jiang Hong quickly chimed in. "You can ask Mu-Cheng yourself if you don't believe us."

"When she was a baby, I carried her and fed her, and we all watched her grow up. We all adore her and there's no way we would pick on her or cause her any harm. Mu-Cheng, come over here and explain to Mayor Wu. You're my niece and a treasured daughter of the Qiu family, aren't you?” Jiang Hong's face was full of smiles and she called out to Qiu Mu-Cheng so tenderly.

Qiu Guang and the rest of the family immediately put aside their usual disdain and arrogance towards Qiu Mu-Cheng and started trying to act close to her, calling her their niece.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng chortled self-deprecatingly when she saw how quickly these people turned around now that they were in trouble. "Niece?”

"My dear uncles and aunties, you finally remember you have a niece called Qiu Mu-Cheng? Did you remember me when you chased me out of the Qiu family along with Ye Fan? Did you remember me when you stole Ye Fan's imperial jade and tried to prevent Mufan Real Estate from opening time and again? And just a few minutes ago, after laughing at me, mocking me and making my reputation fall apart, did you remember I was your niece?"

Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes were bloodshot and she snorted coldly.

Those questions were like gold bars falling to the floor, clanging loudly within the hall.

Each and every word stabbed deep into the souls of the Qiu family like a knife, and resounded loudly in their ears!

The Qiu family were embarrassed and shocked by these words at the same time.

They didn't know how to respond to what Qiu Mu-Cheng said at all.

Finally, Qiu Guang tried to explain in a bitter voice, "Mu-Cheng, that was in the past, we didn't play our part well and we misunderstood you. But we're still one family after all, and we should settle all these matters behind closed doors. Let's not wash our dirty linen in public.”

Wu Wei-Tao's words were like roaring thunder, and Qiu Guang's face paled.

Qiu Mu-Ying went into a panic and her face trembled in fear.

Every company was most afraid of being checked and audited by the government.

If that department wanted to find trouble with you, they would find something, no matter how small it was.

Besides, was Qiushui Logistics clean in the first place?

Of course not!

In these few months after Qiu Mu-Cheng left the family, Qiu Mu-Ying had been boldly fudging the accounts and embezzled a few million from the company.

As for evading taxes, Qiu Mu-Ying had done a lot in that aspect too.

This investigation was going to turn up a lot of problems!

Qiu Mu-Ying and all the other management level staff of Qiushui Logistics were terrified and the guilt in their hearts made them very frightened.

Qiu Mu-Ying never imagined that her ploy to attack Mufan Real Estate would fail, and worse still, get Qiushui Logistics themselves into such trouble!

Qiu Guang quickly looked towards Old Master Qiu in panic, "Dad, don't just stand there and watch. Say something! You're Mu-Cheng's grandfather, so if you beg her, she'll listen to you. Tell her to persuade Mayor Wu otherwise..."
