CHAPTER 487: CHAPTER 487: HE ONLY WANTS MU ZHENZHEN

"You... you..."

Mrs. Shen was so angry that she was at a loss for words.

Complete sophistry.

What kind of bewitching potion has Mu Zhenzhen fed to him for him to say such things?

"President Mo is really quite the orator, isn’t he?"

Not until this moment did Mayor Shen speak, "You dodge the important and dwell on the trivial. With just a few words, you have turned a villain into a hero. We must wonder if it’s good or bad luck for Zhuyue to have a friend like you."

"Mo Xingyuan, we shouldn’t have saved you back then!" Mrs. Shen simply couldn’t contain her anger any longer, "Don’t forget how you got this life of yours. It was Zhuyue who risked her life to pull you out of the water.

Back then, Zhuyue had just learned how to swim and was still somewhat afraid of the water, but without a second thought, she jumped in and saved you from death’s door. We thought you would be grateful, but who would’ve imagined you to be so cold-blooded? Now, Zhuyue is lying in the hospital, and yet you repeatedly visit to help the person who hurt her. Mo Xingyuan, do you even have a conscience?"

Upon mentioning this past event, Mo Xingyuan’s expressionless face finally revealed a hint of emotion.

"I have never forgotten Zhuyue’s life-saving grace."

Mo Xingyuan said calmly, with a face much softer than before while facing the elderly couple.

As if having finally found Mo Xingyuan’s weak spot, Mrs. Shen continued, "You haven’t forgotten? Then do you know that the debt of gratitude for saving a life is greater than anything else? Zhuyue saved your life, and now she has been harmed by someone else to the point of nearly losing her own life. At a time like this, whom should you be helping? Shouldn’t you be siding with us and Zhuyue to punish the criminal?

What exactly is your relationship with Mu Zhenzhen? She is nothing but a woman you became infatuated with temporarily and doesn’t share any blood relation with you. Since she harbors such malice, why won’t you see her for who she is? What are you so desperately trying to save her for? Are you not worried that after you save her, she will harm Zhuyue again?"

"She’s not that kind of person; she doesn’t have such a malicious heart."

Mo Xingyuan furrowed his brows in pain.

Even if Mu Zhenzhen had such a malicious heart, he would still have to save her.

He simply couldn’t stand by and watch Mu Zhenzhen suffer.

He couldn’t just watch.

He must save her.

"Mo Xingyuan, you’re ridiculous," said Mrs. Shen with a look of absurdity. "Mu Zhenzhen really lives up to her medical training; such people know how to numb others, and it seems you’ve been numbed by her, beyond reach of any advice."

"Perhaps," Mo Xingyuan sighed softly.

Even if he has been numbed, he does so willingly.

Even if he ends up dying by Mu Zhenzhen’s hands one day, he does so willingly.

He could die with her.

He could die before her.

But he absolutely cannot lose her.

"Since President Mo admits there’s no saving him, why come here at all?"

Mayor Shen’s smile was cold and sarcastic.

Only then did Mo Xingyuan’s expression grow earnest again, and he spoke indifferently, "I am a businessman, I come, of course, to do business."

Mayor Shen’s scornful gaze finally turned formal towards him.

"If fifty million is insufficient for Mayor Shen’s consideration, then, what about two hundred million?"

Two hundred million could buy countless lives on the black market.

Yet he only wanted one person—Mu Zhenzhen.

Mrs. Shen’s eyes widened in astonishment.

Then she looked in disbelief at Mayor Shen.

The old man was right.

Mo Xingyuan indeed had raised his bid.

Mayor Shen looked directly into Mo Xingyuan’s eyes, "Five hundred million, not a penny less."
