Chapter 61: Disobedient Women

Meanwhile, Dongfang Mo was deep in thought as he studied the document Xi Muru had submitted to him.

He was surprised when he learned that Mu Ru was more efficient than he had imagined.

He had originally intended to get to the bottom of what happened to the unaccounted amount of thirty million. He didn't expect that Xi Muru would actually help him find out more. He read the details she had written concerning the MQ Company and the strange transactions with the company.

Any amount between nine hundred thousand and one million was neither too big nor too small, so it had not attracted his attention. He had overlooked the transactions, thinking they were regular and necessary transactions. In a year, the amount would have reached ten million.

Of course, if Xi Muru had not found out about it, the transaction would have continued without him knowing.

Such amounts could not greatly affect the corporation. However, he knew that if he continued to overlook, whoever was behind it would continue to earn more and more from the transactions. If the transactions had continued, the amounts would have added up to a large amount, and the corporation could suffer from it in the long run.

Dongfang Corporation was like a big tree, and MQ Company was like the worm living in it.

At first, as the worm ate its way through the tree branches, the tree would not notice it. However, over time, the tree would fall into decay because the worm would have eaten its way through most parts of the tree. Soon, the tree would break down and fall.

Dongfang Mo thought it was time for the Dongfang Corporation to thoroughly clean up. Its people would have to prepare themselves for what was coming.

There was a knock on the door. He quickly tossed the document into the shredder to get rid of any evidence. The document that Mu Ru had spent a week working on had turned into a pile of waste paper.

He reached out and pressed the button on the wall, and the door opened. Uncle Liu walked in and stood in front of him.

"Young Master, the security guards stationed at the main gate just reported that the young madam has left the house. She said she's going back home to the Xi family."

"Got it," Dongfang Mo answered.

Dongfang Mo looked cold and gloomy. He wore a blank expression as he pondered on Mu Ru's sudden departure.

"How's the Xi family now?" he asked.

"The Xi family met with the Nangong family half a month ago concerning the marriage proposal that was agreed upon between the two families several years back. Their goal was to get Xi Yuancheng to take the young madam back from you. Xi Yuancheng probably didn't have the guts to do so, and he's been trying to settle things with Nangong Xun. Of course, Nangong Xun hadn't agreed to anything. Nangong Xun now wants Xi Yuancheng to pay him three hundred million yuan for breaking off the engagement without his consent. The Xi family probably won't be able to pay him even if they sell everything."

"Selling iron after breaking the pot?" Dongfang Mo asked sarcastically.

Dongfang Mo groaned in annoyance at how things were turning out.

"Does the Xi family still have anything to sell? Nangong Xun is now the CEO of his company in Singapore. I heard that his identity and background are extremely complicated," Uncle Liu said.

"Well, Nangong Xun was once Qin Xun. In fact, the Qin family's business almost went bankrupt in Binhai four years ago. At that time, his uncle, Nangong Jue, passed away due to an illness. His uncle had no children, so his grandfather, Nangong Jiancheng, remembered his grandson, Qin Xun. Thus, Qin Xun changed his surname to Nangong, following his mother. Naturally, he became the heir of the Nangong family."

"I don't think it's that simple," Dongfang Mo said.

Dongfang Mo didn't want to continue the discussion with Uncle Liu.

Instead, he said, "It's already noon. Let's go eat first."

"Yes." Uncle Liu immediately came over and pushed Dongfang Mo's wheelchair towards the Dragon Garden.
