463: Investigation

Investigation

Du Tong walked next to Mu Qing into the filming set and informed him about the situation there in a low voice.0

"The Mu family is the owner of this complex. They loan it to President Cheng since he invested in a new drama, which is directed by Director Pan Hao. Currently, the expectations are very high for the drama. There's a high chance it'll become a blockbuster."

Mu Qing frowned. "Cheng Che invested in the drama, not the Mu Corporation?"

Du Tong nodded. "That's right. President Cheng founded his own film and television company."

Mu Qing scoffed. "So he's using the Mu family's money to fill his pockets."

Du Tong did not dare to say anything. However, he did not think Mu Qing was right.

After all, Cheng Che was the adopted son of the Mu family. He was personally raised by Jiang Jin, and his status was very special. Although he was Mu Chen's special assistant, the power he wielded was much more than that of an assistant. He was family to Mu Chen. Hence, even if he lined his pockets with the Mu family's money, it was likely approved by Mu Chen. Even if Mu Chen was unaware, if Mu Chen found out, it was likely that Mu Chen would have no objections.

Moreover, Cheng Che's ability was obvious to everyone. He could, in fact, handle the matters of the Mu Corporation without anyone's help.

Mu Chen treated Cheng Che like his biological brother. He blatantly favored and protected Cheng Che. Hence, whether Cheng Che's company was funded by his money or Mu Chen's money, no one would dare to say a word.

"What about the crew members?" Mu Qing asked.

Du Tong walked half a step forward to lead Mu Qing.

Mu Qing continued to ask, "Have you verified Zhang Jie's words?"

Du Tong said in a low voice, "We've investigated the actresses, but we didn't find any suspicious target."

Mu Qing did not say anything.

Du Tong continued to say, "We still haven't found Zhang Jie so we don't know anything more beyond what he had initially told us. Currently, we're trying to locate Zhang Jie and also investigating all the people in the crew."

Mu Qing was very satisfied with Du Tong's arrangements. However, he still wanted to personally have a look. As he walked around, his eyes were like that of an eagle as he looked around.

…

At the same time, Song Ning looked at Mu Qing through the curtains. Her heart was racing in her chest at this moment.

She did not have many interactions with Mu Qing. She only remembered Liang Zhou had once asked her to hand over Zhuang Ji. To her, he was only Mu Chen's father; a father who had deeply hurt his son.

Mu Qing and Mu Chen resembled each other greatly.

Song Ning did not have any ill feelings toward Mu Qing. It was just that she respected Mu Chen and felt sorry for him so she distanced herself from Mu Qing.

Mu Qing had also never made things difficult for her. Hence, she was shocked when she thought about how he might be the one who wanted her dead. To think that a father would be so vicious to his own son. She thought that Mu Qing was mad.

…

Mu Qing approached Pan Hao directly. They were old acquaintances. In fact, he had introduced Liang Zhen to Pan Hao. That was how 'Yi Yao' was born. However, after so many years, things had changed. Their relationship had faded with the passage of time.

Pan Hao was very surprised when he saw Mu Qing.

Mu Qing smiled and said, "I was passing by so I decided to visit. I heard that you're shooting a highly-anticipated drama."

Pan Hao was bewildered and nervous. He was afraid that something would go wrong, and he would lose his investment. Although Cheng Che had reassured him over and over again, he was still worried. Perhaps, due to his nervousness, he blurted out, "Are you an investor as well? Do you have a woman in the crew whom you want to help?"

Mu Qing laughed. "What's going through your mind? I didn't invest in this drama. Even if I want to invest in a drama, I won't invest in your drama. After all, you don't know how to make money at all, am I right?"

Mu Qing spoke intimately as though he was joking around with a good friend.

Pan Hao was a little embarrassed by his own words. However, he was a straightforward person so he did not dwell on the matter. He felt at ease after listening to Mu Qing speak as well.
