Fortunately, the bathroom's soundproofing was subpar.

Every word Mu Xingwang said was overheard by a student in the adjacent stall.

With his cell phone in hand, Mu Xingwang snarled ferociously, "Crash into Yin Yao! If you don't kill her, at least make sure she's wheelchair-bound in her next life!"

The young boy feared being labeled a pervert. Luckily, no one else was in the women's restroom; he had just clenched his teeth and applied force on the tissue.

Then, he heard a bellow from the neighboring stall, which startled him so much that he secretly cursed the person as crazy.

Chu Yuening recounted everything that happened.

The young boy who had been standing among the crowd scratched his head. "That voice sounds eerily familiar. Wait... Wasn't that me?"

The crowd gasped in astonishment.

Could it really be that coincidental?

Yin Yao was present, and so was the very witness who had heard Mu Xingwang plotting to harm someone back then!

Master Chu was truly incredible!

Suddenly,

"Oh! I remember!"

The young boy's eyes lit up as he clapped his hands. "I was right next to the toilet back then. I heard you on the phone, ordering the driver to hit someone!"

"Master! I can confirm it's him! This is that scumbag!" The young boy pointed at Mu Xingwang, growing more agitated as he spoke. "I even waited by the door on purpose, and the person who came out was him!"

"I'll never forget that skinny, miserable look for the rest of my life!"

Mu Xingwang wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Y-Young man, what proof do you have that the person on the phone was definitely me?"

The young boy gaped in shock. "I've never seen such a shameless person before. It was clearly just you back then."

Maintain your composure.

Mu Xingwang kept wiping his sweat, but suddenly, he stopped and sneered in disdain. "I deny it. What can you do to me?"

"Deny it?" Chu Yuening smiled. "That's easy to deal with."

She raised her hand and knocked on the table, grabbing a teacup.

"You spent a lot of money on the driver, didn't you? After all, he had to kill for you and then go to prison."

"It was two million."

Mu Xingwang gritted his teeth in fear, his eyes widening. This woman really knew everything.

"The driver and his wife had already agreed on this matter. After you paid the compensation, you gave him an extra million."

Chu Yuening swirled the teacup.

"The driver was cunning. He wouldn't leave that money in his wife's hands knowing he was going to jail. Upon his release, the driver's heart changed with the money. It's true that money corrupts men. With more money, more women would cling to him. They were young, beautiful, and charming—how could the driver still find his aging, faded wife attractive?"

"The couple divorced, and the driver even took their child away."

The driver served two years in prison, while his wife waited for him, dreaming of a happy life for the whole family with the million dollars once he was released.

But in the end,

she was abandoned.

Chu Yuening smiled gently. "Now."

"If someone were to ask the wife to testify in court, do you think she'd be willing?"

Mu Xingwang froze on the spot.

Hope flickered in Yin Yao's eyes. "Yes, we could find the driver's ex."

Chu Yuening pulled out her cell phone and dialed Li Huiwen's number. Upon learning that the son of the Secretary for Home Affairs was involved, Li Huiwen perked up and immediately took on the task of bringing the story back to the newspapers.

"Still standing there?" Mu Xingwang kicked a bodyguard in the waist, furious. "Hurry! Find that woman for me! Spend whatever it takes!"

He had more than enough wealth to silence any woman who might divulge their conspiracy.

The crowd erupted in an uproar, finally seeing through Mu Xingwang's true nature.

He kept claiming he wouldn't commit crimes, yet now, in his agitation, he sought to silence her. What was the point of that?

Faced with Chu Yuening's penetrating gaze, Mu Xingwang, for the first time in his life, felt a genuine sense of fear. Had someone truly been able to discern his entire past just by looking at his face?

"Contacting the newspaper? You think printing this on the papers will bring me down?"

"Do you believe that with a single word from my father, that newspaper could go bankrupt? Do you believe that my father could make all this information vanish into thin air, never to be mentioned by any of you?"

Mu Xingwang pointed at the surrounding people, sneering as he issued a veiled threat. "Each one of you has a job, a family, correct?"

"If you know what's good for you, not a single syllable should leave your lips. The common folk do not tangle with officials – you don't want to offend my father."

Indeed.

Mu Xingwang's words had an impact.

They were all ordinary citizens of Hong Kong; who among them had the power to challenge someone in a high position?

Moreover, the Mu family only had Mu Xingwang as their sole heir.

If Mu Xingwang ended up in jail, Mr. Mu would undoubtedly be furious, and those present wouldn't fare well either.

A luxurious car pulled over, and a stern-looking middle-aged man, close to fifty, stepped out.

Upon seeing the man, Mu Xingwang's eyes lit up, assuming he was the bodyguard who had fetched help: "Dad!"

The middle-aged man approached, his face grim as he first examined Mu Xingwang meticulously.

Mu Xingwang pointed at Chu Yuening. "Dad! Lock all these people up in prison! Let them spend the rest of their lives behind bars. I want to see if they still dare to come out…" He was pointing them out for identification.

With a stern expression, Mu Kuan held a few sheets of A4 paper in his hand. Upon hearing Mu Xingwang open his mouth to ask him to clean up another mess, he couldn't contain his anger.

He swung his palm hard across Mu Xingwang's face.

"Disgraceful!"

Startled by the slap, Mu Xingwang covered his face in disbelief and stared at Mu Kuan. His voice rose several decibels as he exclaimed,

"You hit me!"

"You've never laid a hand on me since I was little! What have I done wrong for you to hit me?!"

"Wow—"

It was better if Mu Xingwang had kept silent. His words incited the anger of the onlookers.

"How could Mu Xingwang still think he's in the right after causing harm to two girls, one dead and one disabled, not to mention his other misdeeds?"
