Sir, How About A Marriage? Chapter 220 - Showdown

Chapter 220 - Showdown

Mu Chen laughed coldly. "Second Granduncle, your words are very reasonable. Then, let me ask you: what should we do if we have a traitor in the family?"
Second Granduncle Mu was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"What if this crisis is caused by a traitor in our midst? Second Granduncle, what do you think we should do?" Mu Chen asked as his eyes glinted coldly.
Fourth Uncle Mu jumped up and said, "Don't change the topic! We're talking about you giving up your position as head of the family to someone more capable!"
Mu Chen did not bother looking at Fourth Uncle Mu; his eyes were trained on Second Granduncle Mu.
Second Granduncle Mu thought for a moment before he slowly said, "If it's as you said, and there's a traitor in the family, that person's name will naturally be removed from the Mu family's registry. This is the old rule."
Mu Chen had been waiting for these words. From the corners of his eyes, he could already see the drastic change in some people's expressions. Following that, he brought his phone out in a leisurely manner and dialed Cheng Che's number.
In just a few moments, Cheng Che rushed into the room with a bag filled with documents. After he wordlessly passed the documents to Mu Chen.
Mu Chen swept his gaze across the people in the room.
Many people were frightened out of their wits by this gaze.
Second Granduncle Mu said unhappily, "Mu Chen, what are you trying to do now? Shouldn't you focus on resolving the company's problems now? Why are you trying to intimidate your uncles now?"
Mu Chen shook the bag of documents in his hand and calmly said, "There's a list of traitors in here who are involved with the company's leak. Along with the list, the evidence is in here as well. Don't worry; I won't make baseless accusations or accuse anyone wrongly…"
Before anyone could speak up, Mu Chen continued to say, "Apart from that, there's something I want everyone to know. Despite the leak, we did not lose the patents or trademarks. This is because I've made sufficient preparations beforehand and had already registered the trademarks and bought the patents a month in advance. Of course, only Cheng Che and I are privy to this matter…"
Mu Chen paused for a moment as he looked at the expressions of the people in front of him with an icy smile on his face. Then, he slowly said, "In case you're too slow to understand, let me explain this to you. The 'crisis' is just a trap. My goal is to catch the traitor in the family. Second Granduncle, I hope you understand that I was forced to do this…"
Second Granduncle Mu was shocked. "Mu Chen, are you telling the truth?"
Mu Chen nodded.
"Our Mu Group's patents and trademarks aren't leaked?"
Mu Chen nodded.
"You set this up beforehand?"
Mu Chen nodded.
At this time, Second Granduncle Mu's voice changed. "Is there really a traitor mole in the family?"
Mu Chen nodded again and waved the documents in his hand. "Second Granduncle, the evidence is here. I wonder if what you said about removing traitors' names from the family registry stands true?"
Second Granduncle Mu was still in shock. When he regained his senses, he slowly nodded. He said, clearly disappointed, "How can someone betray their family?"
Mu Chen asked again, "Second Granduncle, do you think we should only remove the name of the culprit from the family registry or should we remove the names of everyone involved in this matter?"
Second Granduncle Mu looked at Mu Chen's unyielding gaze and slowly said, "Mu Chen, since you're the head of the family, the decision lies with you…"
Mu Chen looked at Second Granduncle Mu silently.
Meanwhile, everyone was in an uproar.
"Impossible! How could we have a traitor in the family? Show us the evidence!"
"It's not possible! How could someone from the family try to ruin the company?"
"Mu Chen, stop trying to act mysterious! What kind of evidence do you have? Show us! It can't be fake, right?"
"The company's situation is so bad now, but you said it's just a trap? Who'd believe you?"
Mu Chen looked at the people in front of him indifferently. Those who were clamoring were not involved while those who were involved had already turned pale in fright.. Naturally, there were also those who looked tough on the inside but were trembling inside.
