No matter what, Zhou Xun is Elder Ren's granddaughter. He can't just watch someone harm his granddaughter and do nothing. Maybe Elder Ren has his difficulties right now!

"Well, Elder, don't worry too much. I'll investigate this matter further. There's still one survivor. Once we catch him, the truth will come to light!" Lin Mu said.

"Alright, in that case, you take Xiaoxun home first. I'll investigate the advertising company side!" Elder Ren said.

"Alright!" Lin Mu nodded, bid farewell to Elder Ren, and went downstairs with Zhou Xun.

Watching Lin Mu and Zhou Xun walk away, Elder Ren sent for Ren Xuebai to be called into the room. Ren Xuebai knocked on the door,

"Elder, it's me, Xuebai."

Ren Changfeng said, "Come in!"

He entered nonchalantly with a cigarette between his fingers!

"Elder, you were looking for me?"

Elder Ren looked at Ren Xuebai and directly asked, "Was it you who orchestrated today's incident?"

"Oh? What incident?" Ren Xuebai's brow furrowed as if he was completely unaware, looking at Elder Ren.

"Today someone tried to assassinate Xiaoxun. Are you really saying you know nothing about it?" Elder Ren questioned.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Ren Xuebai said.

"You don't know, huh? Now you're even disregarding your own father, right? Is the Ren Family's wealth so important to you? Haven't I given you enough?" Elder Ren said angrily.

"You've transferred all the assets to Xiaoxun, and I'm indeed displeased. I'm your son, understand? She's just a granddaughter you haven't seen for many years, nothing more. Is she more important to you than your own son?" Ren Xuebai replied angrily.

"For Xiaoxun, I'm merely trying to compensate her as best as I can. What saddens me is that you'd lay a hand on her. Isn't she your own niece? How could you be so ruthless?" Elder Ren said, disappointed.

"What nonsense are you saying? I know nothing about it. If you're accusing me of trying to kill Xiaoxun, show me the evidence. Prove it!" Ren Xuebai said, agitated.

"Fine, you want evidence? I advise you not to be complacent. Lin Mu will be involved in this matter. You should know his capabilities. If anything happens, don't come crying to me!" Elder Ren said.

"Ha, Lin Mu? If he wants trouble, let him come!" Ren Xuebai said with a sneer.

Elder Ren glanced at Ren Xuebai, sighed, and shook his head in disappointment!

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first!" Ren Xuebai said, turning to leave the room.

Once out, Ren Xuebai immediately went down, got in his car, and hurried home, feeling that the situation was quite dire. Despite his outward disdain for Lin Mu, Ren Xuebai feared him the most among all adversaries.

Prior to this, Ren Xuebai had studied Lin Mu and knew of his prowess. That's why, before making a move on Zhou Xun, he planned to eliminate Lin Mu when he was unsuspecting. This way, taking care of Zhou Xun would be easier, but things didn't go as smoothly as he had hoped. The two assassins he sent were noticed by Lin Mu. Left with no choice, Ren Xuebai had to disregard Lin Mu and directly target Zhou Xun, planning to send the Left Army and Right Army out of Wancheng afterward!

Although Ren Xunbai's arrangements were foolproof, they didn't go as planned. Today's assassination attempt hit a snag; Zhou Xun wasn't killed, the Left Army soldier was dead instead, and now Elder Ren was suspicious. A string of bad news arrived in succession!

Of course, Ren Xuebai was not directly involved in any of this. Only the Left Army and Right Army knew about it. With the Left Army dead, only the Right Army remained! Since Elder Ren was already suspicious and Lin Mu would surely investigate, Ren Xuebai had to clean up the mess perfectly, leaving no room for error!

The plot unfolds in different directions. After Ren Xuebai left, Elder Ren thought for a while and then called Lin Mu.

"Elder!" Lin Mu answered the phone.

"Lin Mu, is Xiaoxun with you?" Elder Ren asked over the phone.

"Yeah, she's here. What's the matter?" Lin Mu asked.

"I have something to discuss with you, and I don't want her to know!" Elder Ren said.

"Okay, go ahead, Elder!"

"There's news about the person who tried to assassinate Xiaoxun!" Elder Ren said calmly over the phone, not angry, but rather helpless.

When Lin Mu was in the room discussing this matter with Elder Ren, he sensed something was off. Now it seemed Elder Ren wanted to clear things up since Zhou Xun was his granddaughter after all!

"Elder, is there any news? What's the situation? Who did it?"

"It's very likely that my son, Ren Xuebai, sent someone to do it. I just spoke with him. Although he denied it, from my observation, it must be him!" Elder Ren sighed, his words full of helplessness.

"Your son?"

Lin Mu was somewhat shocked. Are you kidding? Isn't Elder Ren's son Zhou Xun's uncle? A biological daughter of the eldest brother's family, whom he searched for ten years to find, wouldn't he care deeply for her? How could he possibly try to kill her? And to use a sniper rifle, Zhou Xun's uncle must really hate her deeply. But Lin Mu didn't understand; what kind of hatred could lead Zhou Xun's uncle to hate her so much that he wanted to hire a killer to kill her?

In fact, Lin Mu had thought that for the assassin to know Zhou Xun's whereabouts so well, it had to be someone from Ren Company. He just never imagined the person wanting her dead was her own uncle. He wouldn't have believed it even if you beat him!

"Yes, my youngest son Ren Xuebai, the one you met today behind me!" Elder Ren sighed.

Lin Mu was puzzled and asked, "Why would he do that?"

"Haha, perhaps it's all my fault. Before this, I made a decision to transfer my entire almost two billion in assets to Xiaoxun. I guess this made him unhappy, leaving him no choice but to target Xiaoxun. Sigh, I never thought this matter would bring harm to Xiaoxun!" Elder Ren said helplessly.

"A two billion asset? My goodness!" Lin Mu was shocked by Elder Ren's words. This isn't two million or twenty million; this is two billion! Who wouldn't be envious?

If it were Lin Mu's situation, he might also be envious. Clearly, two billion could have been his, but instead, it's given to someone else. Most people wouldn't be willing to let go! Lin Mu could understand this! No wonder Ren Xuebai would stop at nothing to send assassins to kill Zhou Xun. Even the deepest family ties can't outweigh the allure of money for Ren Xuebai! Moreover, there wasn't even any so-called familial bond between Ren Xuebai and Zhou Xun to begin with!
