"Well done!"

"I say, if you've got a debt collector like that, just finish him off! But let's not talk about it, we don't want any trouble. Minister Mu might come looking for us later."

Mu Kuan's face was grim as he slapped the stack of A4 papers onto Mu Xingwang's face, saying through gritted teeth, "Take a good look at this and tell me what it is."

The pages filled with formulas landed on the floor.

"What's going on?" Mu Xingwang, accustomed to being spoiled at home, was impatient and even dared to snap at his father whenever he pleased. He rubbed his face and reluctantly crouched down to pick up the papers, "I'm warning you, I'll repay that slap of yours."

"Repay?" Mu Kuan's face darkened further, "Fine! Fine! Just how far have I let you go? You think you can get away with it? Let's see how you plan to repay me!"

The bodyguard helped gather the papers and handed them all to Mu Xingwang.

"Of course, you'll let me hit you back! Dads don't have to pay for hitting their sons? What a joke!" Mu Xingwang's arrogance knew no bounds until he reached the bottom of the last A4 page and saw the diagnosis result.

Upon verification, it was confirmed that the two had no blood relation...

With a thunderous boom in his mind, Mu Xingwang swiftly discarded the paper. "Impossible... How can I not be a member of the Mu family? It's the agency, yes! They must have made a mistake!"

The previously boisterous crowd fell silent.

What!

Mu Xingwang was, in fact, not Secretary Mu's biological son.

This is a huge scandal!

"Hmph," Mu Kuan scoffed coldly.

He had taken one of Mu Xingwang's hair strands some time ago to conduct the currently trending DNA test. This technology had recently gained immense popularity in Hong Kong, supposedly imported from abroad, allowing one to ascertain paternity without much delay.

One of his friends had discovered through such a test that his youngest son was actually the result of his wife's infidelity. Seeking comfort, he had encouraged Mu Kuan to do the same.

His friend was fortunate, having four other children who were at least biologically his, even if one less, the youngest son, was not.

Mu Kuan was his only son, yet he wasn't even his biological child.

Upon receiving the paternity test results, Mu Kuan had been so enraged that he could only think of finding Mu Xingwang. Now, with Mu Xingwang before him, he gradually calmed down.

"I don't wish to see you again in the Mu family from now on."

After nurturing an outsider's bloodline for so many years and cleaning up after their mess countless times, the Mu family had already done more than enough.

The sudden upheaval had made Mu Kuan indifferent to losing face or being a laughingstock. The once dignified and dashing director, dressed in a sharp suit, seemed to have aged decades in an instant.

"What?!" Mu Xingwang's face turned pale as he saw Mu Kuan getting into the car, ready to leave. He quickly blocked the door, exclaiming, "Dad! You've raised me all these years, like a real father. You can rest assured that no matter who my biological father is, I won't acknowledge him! Not that beast!"

His presence prevented the car door from closing.

But his words were like striking a match on a firecracker.

Mu Kuan, whose heart had turned cold, abruptly snapped awake. He glared furiously and kicked Mu Xingwang away, bellowing, "Get lost!"

"Biological? You're the result of that harlot's infidelity with another man. The Mu family has no place for such a filthy thing!"

With that, Mu Kuan swiftly closed the car door.

Mu Xingwang watched the departing luxury vehicle, feeling as if his soul had been drained from his body, leaving him icy cold.

Even the bodyguards, now that he was no longer the young master of the Mu family, didn't bother to conceal their disdainful gazes.

Journalists had already begun arriving on the scene to capture the moment.

Over the years, Mu Xingwang had made many enemies. Without the support of the powerful Mu family, one could easily imagine his impending downfall.

Suddenly,

Mu Xingwang recalled Chu Yuening's earlier words.

Someone like him would have to pay a severe price.

Wasn't this precisely the severe price she had foretold?

His shield was gone.

In Hong Kong, he could be stabbed to death at any moment and never see the sunrise the next morning.

Mu Xingwang frantically looked around. The money he had just thrown was in the bodyguard's coat. He rushed over, ignoring the bodyguard's punches and kicks, and grabbed the cash. With a swollen nose and bruised face, he knelt in front of Chu Yuening.

"Master, please take the money and help me... I know you're powerful, please help me!"

A large stack of bills amounted to well over ten thousand.

Chu Yuening merely glanced at it before looking away. She said coolly, "Take your dirty money and get lost as far as you can."

Then,

he shot a meaningful glance.

Wei Yanlin lifted the loose Daoist robe, placed his hands on his hips, and grinned at Mu Xingwang, who was kneeling on the ground, "Kneel? Go kneel before Miss Yin Liang."

After that, Mu Xingwang was lifted upside down, his gold necklace swaying in mid-air like a trembling sieve due to his fear.

Wei Yanlin tossed him in front of Yin Yao's wheelchair, sneering, "Kneel sincerely. Perhaps Master Chu will be willing to help you if he sees your remorseful attitude."

"Fine! I'll kneel! I'll kneel!" Mu Xingwang knelt, pleading with Yin Yao, "Yao Yao, it was my fault, I was in the wrong. Forgive me."

"Forgive you?" Yin Yao's gaze brimmed with hatred. "Can I walk again?"

Mu Xingwang's expression froze. "Yao Yao... Are you joking? A cripple can't possibly stand up again..."

Wei Yanlin slapped his head hard. "Yao Yao is what you call her?"

"Miss Yin, Miss Yin," Mu Xingwang corrected himself in pain. "Please forgive me and intercede for me with the Master. Ask her to find a way to restore the father-son relationship between my father and me."

He truly regretted his actions now.

At first, he had suspected that Chu Yuening might have been planted by an enemy to deliberately embarrass him.

But when Chu Yuening predicted the phone incident, although he didn't want to acknowledge it, he knew she might genuinely possess extraordinary abilities.

Now, he suspected that the paternity test result was also Chu Yuening's doing.

Indeed!

An immense terror engulfed Mu Xingwang. All his life, he had relied on his prominent family background to bully others. Now, if he wasn't a member of the Mu family, wouldn't that mean he would lose everything?
