Chapter 279: Mistress, Miss Zhao Is Here

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chief Editor Liu’s was so courteous that Mu Chenyan was confused.

“Chief Editor Liu, didn’t you say that the article can’t be published…”

“Little Mu, after giving it some thoughts, I feel that what you’ve said makes perfect sense. The professional ethics of a reporter is not to be afraid of those in power and to expose the truth. What’s more, what you’ve written is from the perspective of the victim, and you didn’t distort the facts, so why can’t it be published?”

Chief Editor Liu sounded sonorous, which was a total opposite from how he spoke this morning. Mu Chenyan could not make heads or tails of the situation for a moment.

“Since that’s what you’ve said, then I’ll just publish it. There isn’t any part that needs amendment. I’ve already revised it many times yesterday.”

Hanging up the call, Mu Chenyan was still uncertain.

Little did she expect after half an hour her article was published, it would stir up a huge commotion on the Internet!

There were overwhelming comments coming from various parties. Through Mu Chenyan’s article, the people learned about the tragic death of the leader of the fight with the armed forces a few days ago and how woeful the family situation was. The truth behind the case was suddenly a hot topic.

At the same time, the organization department and the Commission for Discipline Inspection received reports from numerous informants. The two departments’ email inboxes were spammed with evidence of Nie Chao breaking the law and scandalous photos of his messy nightlife.

There were even a few photos showing Sun Xu working as a waiter at the scene.

This time, the Commission for Discipline Inspection was in chaos!

On the other side, Xiao Jiang went to Lele’s granny’s house to retrieve the reading pen. After the technology department made a comparison, they confirmed that the recording was Nie Chao talking about the military pensions with a few colleagues in the club.

Public opinion changed in an instance. Initially, the case was about to be buried, and everything would be peaceful after another two days. However, with the emergence of a report, a document, and a recording now, Nie Chao was unable to justify himself!

In the days that followed, every department was bustling about.

Sun Xu’s murderer was captured in City A, and it was said that the arrest had happened in a certain celebrity’s music concert…

Mu Chenyan watched the instant reversal of the plot and was confused.

Su Qingcheng had been busy with the case after returning, and it was only after the murderer was convicted that she could finally take a break.

“Chenyan, wanna go have some skewers tonight?”

Su Qingcheng came to invite Mu Chenyan. Her article was impressive, it had been a turning point for the case. At the same time, all her speculations were verified, and they were able to acquire that crucial recording pen.

Nie Chao was prosecuted by the justice department, and Su Qingcheng felt that she should treat Mu Chenyan to a meal.

Mu Chenyan looked at her watch and saw that it was time to get off work. In her heart, she was also craving for those barbeque skewers and beer.

“Let’s go.” “Your treat!”

Mu Chenyan looked at Su Qingcheng’s neck under the scarf. Seeing the hickeys that had not disappeared even after a few days, she gave her a mischievous smirk.

Her phone rang just at that opportune moment.

“Chenyan, are you free?” Wen Ya’s voice sounded frail.

“Wen Ya, shouldn’t you be discharged from the hospital already?”

Mu Chenyan was a little embarrassed. Since Wen Ya’s incident, she had only gone to the hospital once due to her hectic schedule.

“Yes.” Wen Ya hesitated for a moment before carefully asking, “Are you free to come and pick me up?”

Hearing that, Mu Chenyan immediately answered, “Wait for me. I’m already off work. I’ll head over there now.”

When Su Qingcheng heard that Mu Chenyan had other plans, she waved her hands to bid goodbye.

…

Sheng Yu Hospital.

Wen Ya’s private duty nurse had packed her things for her. The woman who had been lying on the hospital bed had a pale complexion, her leg was still wrapped in a cast. She sat in the wheelchair and stared at Mu Chenyan.

When Mu Chenyan rushed over and saw Wen Ya’s pitiful look, she was greatly saddened.

She was discharged from the hospital, but Yuan Zhe could not even fulfill his duty as a husband.

Xue Meiwei had said that she would send a maid over, but after waiting for a long time, no one appeared, hence Wen Ya could only call Mu Chenyan to ask for her help.

“How are you feeling?” Mu Chenyan helped her into the passenger seat and kept the wheelchair in the trunk.

“I’m alright, except that I can’t go out for some time. The saying goes that it takes about a hundred days for bones and muscles to heal. I’d still have to rest even after the cast is removed.”

Wen Ya’s tone was plain, but her eyes were filled with grievances.

The Yuan Family’s second son had treated this woman such indifferently. Mu Chenyan felt dejected and did not know what to talk about.

The car entered the Yuan Family Mansion, and in front of Peace Mansion was the black Maybach that Yuan Zhe often drove.

It turned out that Yuan Zhe was at home!

Mu Chenyan got down and called for the maids to come help move Wen Ya’s stuff.

When Xue Meiwei came out and saw Mu Chenyan, her expression turned unsightly. She reprimanded Wen Ya in a low voice, “Why didn’t you call home?” “If the outsiders knew that Chenyan was the one who had brought you back, they might think that we’re abusing you…”

“I called home, but no one picked up.” Wen Ya had indeed called the landline, but not a maid was around to answer the call.

“Your father had an argument with Yuan Zhe, and the maids were trying to dissuade them, so how would they hear it?”

Xue Meiwei’s tone was impatient.

She looked at the busy Mu Chenyan and was disgruntled. “If it wasn’t for this mistress of Yuan Xuan, how would there be such trouble, and how would Zhe Zhe be beaten by your father?”

Hearing that, Wen Ya’s heart skipped a beat. She looked at Mu Chenyan, not knowing what had happened.

Seeing that everything had been moved out from her car, Mu Chenyan smilingly said to Xue Meiwei, “Second Aunt, my task here is done. Wen Ya needs some rest, so I’ll come and see her in a few days’ time.”

Xue Meiwei could hardly keep her cool. Seeing Mu Chenyan’s calm and composed look, she coldly sneered.

“Chenyan seems quite busy, so there’s no need for you to concern yourself of Wen Ya’s situation.” “However, Second Uncle would really have to treat you to a feast. Have mercy on us, the great reporter Mu!”

Mu Chenyan was stunned by her remark.

Her relationship with Xue Meiwei had never been hostile. She was an elder, and even if she was to make some sarcastic comments, Mu Chenyan could never give tit for tat and retort.

She felt upset, but she could only suppress her anger. Holding it in, another thought came to her mind. Xue Meiwei had mentioned her occupation, hence it probably had something to with Nie Chao’s case that was being reported in the news these few days.

The woman smiled. “What does Second Aunt mean?” “I’ve always been respectful of Second Uncle and have not offended him.” “What’s more, as a reporter, the people and matters that I report have to do with those who abused and broke the law. This has nothing to do with Second Uncle. I wonder why did Second Aunt suddenly make such a statement?”

Mu Chenyan spoke decently, and this put Xue Meiwei in an uncomfortable position instead.

Xue Meiwei did not care about Mu Chenyan but led the maids to move Wen Ya’s stuff inside. She then said, “If you’re thinking of becoming a good wife and working in collusion to take down the Yuan Family’s second son, you’re still a long way off!”

Wen Ya did not quite understand her mother-in-law’s words, and she felt embarrassed as it was she who had asked Mu Chenyan to come over.

“Chenyan, Mother probably didn’t mean anything bad. When I’ve recovered, I’ll come and look for you to thank you.”

When Xue Meiwei saw that Wen Ya was still conversing with Mu Chenyan, her expression turned cold. “Wen Ya, aren’t you coming in yet?” “Do you intend to turn your back against your family and help an outsider?”

Wen Ya’s complexion paled in an instance. She turned her wheelchair around and looked back to express her apologies to Mu Chenyan as she entered Peace Mansion.

Although Mu Chenyan felt aggrieved, she did not tear up over such a petty matter. Sending Wen Ya off with her gaze, she then turned around and drove her car to the garage.

The moment she arrived at Hibiscus Garden, Ah Fu greeted her. Her face had an unnatural expression as she whispered, “Mistress, Miss Zhao is here!” “She’s been waiting for some time.”
