Chapter 111: Mu Empire
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Nowadays, those who did business in the capital had shady dealings with the mafia. This was how many managed to miraculously gain fame and fortune in just two short years.
Rumors had it that a few of these successful businessmen started as smugglers.
Some came from other provinces or the central government. They were prominent senior officials and people with high positions in the capital.
Standing before the row of men were a few tall and muscular men. He Lingxiang’s face turned pale with fright when he finally recognized these men.
They were from the Mu family!
The Mu family, a famous and noble clan with a long lineage, was the largest family-run consortium in China and even in Asia.
He Lingxiang, however, did not have access to more background details. He was too lowly to be privy to such information, after all.
This clan was known for being elusive and secretive.
It was said that the Mu family ran a network of businesses that spanned across proper channels and underground trading. The family managed to establish Disheng Financial Group through their laundering efforts a while back, successfully entrenching an industrial chain in the global financial industry.
The world dubbed the family as the ‘Mu Empire’.
Whether in China or in Asia – even in some parts of North America and Western Europe – the power of Mu family was extensive and growing; it was a much respected global leader. Nobody knew of how vast this family’s fortune was except for its head.
Once, a country clashed head-on with the Mu family over some political issue. Subsequently, Disheng Financial Group withdrew its monetary support from that country, including all forms of trading, and this resulted into that country’s economy to regress to its pre-liberation state. After that incident, the country’s leader learned to pay obeisance to the Mu family.
Looking at the big shots respectfully following behind the man, He Lingxiang could only cower at the thought of who he might be!
This Shishi actually dares to be disrespectful to him in front of so many people?
He Lingxiang silently sniggered. She would be duly punished for being so disrespectful.
Sure enough, a menacing man approached Yun Shishi to teach her a lesson.
Mu Yazhe dismissed him with a warning look, though. The man was startled by it but immediately understood his master’s signal and quietly retreated.
They could not understand what he had in mind.
This girl was neither family nor friend, and, to make matter worse, she was hostile toward the boss! However, he did not seem to take the slightest offense.
Was their master finally moved by a woman?
Although he was young and full of vitality, he remained detached and uninterested.
In the past twenty years or so that he was in control of the Mu Group and despite being constantly surrounded by famous and beautiful actresses and socialites, he hardly got close to any woman. There was no hint of him being in any suggestive relationship with the opposite sex.
