Mr. Mu appears aloof in public, but secretly proposes marriage and kisses.

Su Mingli drove to S City overnight, but she didn't even get inside the door, nor did she see Mu Tingshen and Su Muran.

However, on the way back, he figured something out.

He and Su Muran had a childhood sweetheart relationship of over twenty years. Their sibling relationship was both a shackle and an unbreakable bond between them.

Regardless of Mu Tingshen's motives, what he needed to do now was to make Su Muran rekindle her feelings for him.

Once I understood this, everything became clear.

So he rested for another day until his wounds didn't look so scary before deciding to visit his mother in the hospital.

He didn't take his father's words to heart at all, telling him never to show up again.

Su Yunge has always been prejudiced against him, so her words are not very credible.

Moreover, even if his father didn't like him, his mother was gentle and certainly wouldn't hold it against him.

Su Muran also cares most about her mother's feelings.

As long as he can find a way to please his mother, he will naturally be able to gradually win back Su Muran's heart.

Where are you going so early in the morning?

When Lin Xing'er saw Su Mingli dressed in a suit and tie, and even styled his hair to cover the wound on his forehead, making him look like a peacock with its tail feathers spread, she couldn't help but ask him about it.

"Visiting someone in the hospital. My mom likes me to look neat, tidy, and stylish, so I think she'll be happy with how I look!"

Su Mingli looked in the mirror and then turned to ask Lin Xing'er for her opinion.

Lin Xing'er said with a fawning smile, "Of course I'm satisfied. What mother in the world wouldn't be satisfied with her own son?"

However, judging from his appearance, it doesn't seem like he wants his mother to be satisfied, but rather that he wants his sweetheart to be satisfied!

No sooner had Su Mingli left than Lin Xing'er called Zhou Shi and told him about it.

"Assistant Zhou, what's in it for me to tip you off?"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely make you satisfied."

Zhou assured her.

Lin Xing'er hung up the phone with satisfaction, humming a little tune as she went to wash up.

She felt no guilt whatsoever for betraying Su Mingli. She genuinely liked Su Mingli—after all, he was the most outstanding man she could meet.

But she was also very clear-headed; given her status, there was absolutely no possibility of a future with Su Mingli.

Putting aside the fact that the Su family wouldn't let her in, Su Mingli himself didn't like her either; he was just using her identity to fight against his family.

So under these circumstances, she would naturally try to get as much as possible.

Besides profiting from Su Mingli, she can also use him to gain benefits from others.

She killed two birds with one stone, achieving two goals at once; she was incredibly clever.

"Boss, Su Mingli is about to arrive."

After receiving Lin Xing'er's tip, Zhou Shi immediately reported the matter to his boss.

Mu Tingshen snorted coldly after hearing this and said to Zhou Shi, "Notify the hospital to strictly prohibit him from entering."

Zhou nodded and immediately went to the hospital to inform them of this.

Since Ciai Private Hospital has shares in the Mushen Group, it will naturally obey and cooperate.

Su Mingli arrived at the public hospital excitedly, only to learn that her mother had been transferred to Ciai Hospital for surgery.

He rushed to Tzu Ai Hospital, but was stopped at the door.

"This is a hospital. I'm here to visit someone who is sick. Why are you stopping me?"

Su Mingli was both angry and furious, and argued with the people who were stopping him.

"We were just following instructions; we don't know anything else."

The person who stopped him replied in a cold tone.

Su Mingli clenched her fists in anger and took a deep breath.

However, he also knew that these people were just following orders, and arguing with them was pointless.

He immediately called his father, Professor Su. Of course, he couldn't get through—Professor Su had already blacklisted him.

Out of desperation, he called Su Muran again, but she refused to answer the phone.

Finally, having no other choice, I had to call Su Yunge.

Su Yunge did answer the phone; knowing he was at the door, she made a special trip to see him.

"Didn't I tell you not to come? Why are you here again?"

Seeing his unfriendly expression, Su Yunge spoke in a rather cold tone.

Su Mingli said angrily, "My mother is having surgery, why can't I come? Does she know you're treating me like this?"

It was definitely Mu Tingshen who did the thing of stopping him from entering; only he had the power and ability to do so.

But what he found hard to accept was that his father, Su Muran, and Su Yunge all tacitly approved of it.

His own son was ruthlessly ostracized by them.

"If Mom knew what you did to Muran, do you think she would still consider you her son?"

Su Yunge had a smile on her lips, but her eyes were like a cold pool.

Su Mingli's expression changed drastically as she suddenly remembered something.

"Three years ago, were you the one who opened the door for Ranran and let her leave?"

"Brother, you should thank me for keeping your secret for the past three years. Otherwise, your parents would have given up on you long ago and kicked you out of the house."

Su Yunge's calling out "brother" was extremely sarcastic.

Su Mingli's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at her adopted younger sister again, suddenly finding her extremely terrifying.

"Oh, right, just one more thing. Mu Tingshen already knows that you imprisoned Sister Muran."

Before leaving, Su Yunge gave a half-smile and a half-reminder.

Su Mingli's expression changed again; this matter was even more serious than what Su Yunge had known all along.

No wonder Mu Tingshen was targeting him so much; it turns out he already knew.

He left immediately and rushed back to the company.

Sure enough, the company's project has been suspended.

He was initially invested in by the Mushen Group, which provided him with comprehensive resources.

He used to think he was lucky to have encountered such a wonderful investment company at the beginning of his business, so he didn't have to worry about anything and could easily obtain the best resources.

Now he realized that it wasn't just good luck; Mu Tingshen had him firmly in his grasp all along, waiting to crush him at any moment.

Thinking about this made me feel a chill run through me from head to toe.

"Cousin, what's going on? I heard the company is going bankrupt? Aren't we backed by the Shepherd Group? How could the Shepherd Group go bankrupt?"

Chen Minrui hurriedly walked up to Su Mingli and anxiously asked her questions.

Su Mingli closed his eyes. In fact, he had sent the company's data to Su Muran not long ago.

Su Muran conducted a risk assessment for him and advised him that he should not put all his bets on the Mushen Group and should have his own development and fallback options.

But he wouldn't listen at the time, thinking she was just ignorant and short-sighted.

Only now do I realize how terribly wrong I was.

"Pantheon Company won't go bankrupt, but he will bankrupt me."

After giving a somber reply, Su Mingli took the initiative to go to President Meng and requested to see Mu Tingshen.

President Meng said meaningfully, "The chairman had already anticipated that you wanted to see him, and asked me to take you there."

"Where is this place?"

The car drove for a long time before finally stopping in front of an old-fashioned apartment building.

This place is very remote, and the detached apartment buildings are obviously quite old.

Su Mingli felt a little flustered and quickly pressed President Meng for answers.

President Meng calmly replied, "I don't know either. President Mu only told me to bring you here. If you want to know what this place is, go and ask him yourself."

"President Su, please come in."

President Meng opened the door but didn't go in himself. He only gestured for Su Mingli to enter.
