Chapter 773: Dark Raid Resources, Eldest Son Missing
Chapter 773: Dark Raid Resources, Eldest Son Missing
Mu Sang left, looking as if he had lost his soul.
He had come to cause trouble for Qin Muye, but unexpectedly, he was deceived by Qin Muye. He couldn't even believe why he fell for the ridiculous scapegoat lie.
Wang Kui also felt very embarrassed. After all, it was still the Mu family who was at fault first. Given Mu Sang's aggressive demeanor, Qin Muye had only simply deceived him, which was already quite lenient. The fear was that Qin Muye might continue to harm him.
Qin Muye, however, was indifferent. He thought Mu Sang was a menace and suggested that Mu Lady deal with him quickly.
When Qin Muye said this, Wang Kui's face turned dark, thinking that Qin Muye was dissatisfied and might try to kill Mu Sang.
In fact, Mu Sang was usually quite lively and not as easily deceived as Qin Muye had seen him. It was mainly due to Qin Muye's protagonist aura that this happened.
In the end, Wang Kui could only temporarily calm Qin Muye and then think of a solution. He always felt that Qin Muye was like a smiling tiger, appearing humorous but not hesitating to act, as evidenced by how he quickly found a breakthrough.
"What? The resources were stolen?" Mu Lady's face turned dark, and her tone dropped significantly.
This made her recall how Qin Muye had deceived her son Mu Sang the day before, and now something had happened so soon after.
Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't suspect Qin Muye, but the problem was that in their eyes, Qin Muye was a Spirit Master of the Causal Dao, likely having already laid the groundwork in some situation, ready to strike at any moment.
So she couldn't help but think that this might be Qin Muye's doing.
"Old Wang, what do you think?" Mu Lady asked, looking at Wang Kui, who was more familiar with Qin Muye.
Wang Kui was taken aback. How could he have an opinion? He could only stand and watch.
"Lady, this old man thinks we should ask Mr. Qin," Wang Kui said, gritting his teeth.
Mu Lady was speechless. If the other party was planning to deceive you, what good would it do to ask them? Would they really admit it?
"Fine, I'll leave this to you, Old Wang. Make sure to resolve it," Mu Lady said, though she found Wang Kui's confidence ridiculous, she still entrusted the task to him.
She guessed that the other party merely wanted to stay in the Mu family longer to further his plans. So the best course of action was to quickly send him away to avoid any further complications or accidents.
Thinking of this, Mu Lady felt a bit regretful. If she had known, she wouldn't have been so polite.
'Not good, Sang!' Mu Lady suddenly realized. The terms "internal troubles" and "external threats" usually went together.
The external threat was the unknown person who had stolen the resources Qin Muye needed, but the internal trouble had yet to erupt. So she immediately thought of Mu Sang, who had been deceived by Qin Muye.
The other party couldn't have simply deceived Mu Sang for no reason; they must have planted a cause, waiting for the effect.
"Where is Sang? He was punished to face the wall in reflection yesterday. How is he doing now?" Mu Lady stabilized her emotions and asked.
"Report to Lady, Young Master Sang is well," the attendant servant hurriedly replied.
"Well? Have him come to pay his respects to me," Mu Lady rubbed her temples and then looked at Wang Kui, "Old Wang, go. Don't delay."
"Lady, I have another thought. We shouldn't act too rashly. If we alarm the snake, it won't do. We should investigate thoroughly," Wang Kui used a strategy of advancing to retreat, first presenting his view and then denying it. This way, while he might seem two-faced, at least he wasn't in danger.
"Fine, I'll leave this to you. Investigate as quickly as possible."
Before Mu Lady could finish her sentence, her attendant servant rushed back.
"Lady, it's not good. Young Master Sang has escaped, we don't know when."
Hearing this, Mu Lady's heart sank. She hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.
"How did the guards and servants watch him? When did Sang leave?" Mu Lady released a trace of Golden Immortal Realm aura, making everyone around her tremble.
Fortunately, she controlled it well and didn't envelop the entire Mu family.
Mu Sang couldn't possibly disappear from under her watch. As a Golden Immortal, how could a mere Mortal Realm escape her surveillance?
So someone must have helped him.
Of course, this person wasn't Qin Muye, but he could still be manipulated by Qin Muye.
"Old Wang, go and talk to Mr. Qin. Anything can be discussed, as long as he tells us where Sang is," Mu Lady was decisive. What mattered was not alarming the snake or conducting an investigation; the Mu family's eldest son was the hope of the Mu family, and he must not be endangered.
"Yes, Lady." At this point, Wang Kui no longer tried to use any delaying tactics and responded with a cold sweat, nearly scared to death by that trace of aura.
At this critical moment, he couldn't afford to be deceitful anymore.
"Then arrange for people to investigate the stolen items and send some to find Sang. We need to act quickly!" Mu Lady didn't place all her hopes on Wang Kui; she also needed to take action herself.
As for Qin Muye, she wanted to act, but she hesitated. The other party was definitely hiding his strength and was certainly not in the Mortal Realm. Whether he was in which level of the Immortal Realm was debatable, but at the very least, he was at the Golden Immortal level. She couldn't discern his true strength, and he might even be a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Although the Great Spirit Dynasty's Great Luo Golden Immortals had been wiped out by the Spirit Emperor, it was possible that some had escaped, especially since Qin Muye primarily used the Causal Dao and the Dao of Fortune, which allowed him to predict and avoid crises. It might be difficult, but not impossible.
Although she didn't know why he was targeting the Mu family in this way, it was certain that there was a significant benefit involved.
'He wouldn't be trying to take over the entire Mu family, would he?'
'No, that's impossible. The Spirit Emperor is ruthless now, and he wouldn't dare to destroy a family. If exposed, he would face certain death!'
'So there must be another plot. Perhaps he is targeting not just our Mu family, but other great families as well.'
Mu Lady's mind was filled with numerous thoughts, but she had no solid evidence to confront Qin Muye with. She could only rely on Wang Kui; it wouldn't be appropriate for her to go herself.
"Phew~" Mu Lady took a deep breath, trying to figure out who had taken action.
If it wasn't Qin Muye, the person who acted was extremely stealthy and specifically targeted her. Even now, she could still sense Mu Sang in his room.
But when she investigated, the room was empty, indicating a deliberate and targeted action.
"Which great family is behind this?"
Only a great family could oppose another great family. Who else could it be?
"Mr. Qin, we need evidence. Although Mu Sang has offended you, you tricked him back, and we can consider it even. What reason do you have to target him?"
"Besides, you can't just say he's missing because I targeted him."
Qin Muye had a look of exasperation on his face, feeling like he was being made to carry the blame for everything.
"Mr. Qin, we can discuss your demands, but Young Master Sang must be safe." Wang Kui was also getting anxious, thinking that Qin Muye had no sense of honor.
He had agreed to Qin Muye's terms before, but now Qin Muye was pulling this stunt.
"Don't be ridiculous. Why would I harm him for no reason? Besides, I was almost done with what I needed. Why would I cause trouble now?" Qin Muye's face was also grim.
He believed it was an accident, but it was definitely related to his protagonist aura, and it was highly likely to turn into a disaster.
'Mu Sang is indeed a trigger.'
When the other party came to cause trouble, Qin Muye had this thought. However, this was allowed by Mu Lady. Did she really think he didn't know Mu Sang came to Qing Song Residence? As a Golden Immortal, she could sense any slight movement in the Mu family.
However, Mu Sang's disappearance was indeed unexpected by Qin Muye. He was most likely kidnapped; otherwise, he wouldn't have just disappeared. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't avoid Mu Lady.
"Fine, I know you think I have other motives. Go see Mu Lady. This has nothing to do with me. It's probably someone taking advantage of your family's recent turmoil."
"Anyone who dares to use this to target me is truly despicable."
Qin Muye looked at Wang Kui, who was about to speak, and decided that they needed to talk. He needed to speak directly with the person in charge, not just through an intermediary.
Otherwise, it would waste too much time, and Qin Muye didn't have that much spare time to waste.
