CHAPTER 848: CHAPTER 850: THE GODDESS MU WHO HIDES FILIAL PIETY AND WORRY

After hanging up Vulture’s call, Lin Fei calmed himself and leaned towards Mu Shanshan, the cold CEO, comforting her, "Wife, I understand the situation now. Rest assured, I’ve sent someone to investigate. We’ll have news by tomorrow at the latest."

This wasn’t just empty comfort from Lin Fei. Given the intelligence capabilities of the Hell’s Judgement Organization, they would definitely be able to gather the first-hand information about the cruise ship Mu Hong was on, which was hijacked by pirates, within twelve hours.

After all, this happened abroad and not in Mo Country, where the Hell’s Judgement Organization had never infiltrated.

If it weren’t for the sudden incident on the vast sea, they wouldn’t even need twelve hours to investigate with their intelligence capabilities.

Hell’s Judgement Organization has its own satellites!

And not just one!

This is the main reason why Lin Fei could confidently assure Mu Shanshan that they would have definite news about her ’discounted’ father-in-law, Mu Hong, by tomorrow.

The fact that Hell’s Judgement Organization has satellites isn’t a secret among top international mercenary organizations. Many top lone mercenaries are aware of it.

Some even contact Radar for intelligence before carrying out missions.

In terms of intelligence capabilities, Hell’s Judgement Organization is even comparable to some major powers.

However, these matters were clearly beyond the understanding of Mu Shanshan, the cold CEO. These matters were simply not within her cognitive scope.

As a result, Mu Shanshan, the cold CEO, didn’t believe Lin Fei when he said they would have definite news by tomorrow.

To her, what Lin Fei said was just comforting words.

It went in one ear and out the other.

At this moment, the only thing on Mu Shanshan’s mind was the safety of her biological father, Mu Hong.

Everything else was temporarily tossed to the back of her mind.

"Shanshan, pull yourself together. As you saw back at the Yang Family villa, both Xiaolong and I are not ordinary people. I won’t hide it from you, I—"

"I know, I’ve always known."

Interrupted by Mu Shanshan, the CEO wife, Lin Fei felt a clench in his heart hearing her words.

Luckily, Lin Fei had strong mental resilience. He straightened the woman’s jade-like shoulders and gazed directly into her beautiful eyes, asking, "What do you know? Who told you? Or did you figure it all out yourself?"

Mu Shanshan, whose tears showed no sign of stopping, slightly shook her head before speaking, "I’ve always known that my dad isn’t doing business abroad. Although I don’t know exactly what he’s doing, I know he is working for the country. He thinks I know nothing, but I know everything. For so many years, I’ve pretended not to know anything so as not to make him worry."

Hearing what Mu Shanshan, the cold CEO, said without implying anything towards him, Lin Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to pull her into his arms and comfort her gently.

But before Lin Fei could say anything, Mu Shanshan, the cold CEO, continued to speak on her own, "When I was a kid, I already knew my dad was doing some very dangerous work. There was a time when I was very scared, scared that his work would bring danger to our family. I was even more afraid of losing him suddenly one day. Those Arabs who came to find us before, I know it was because of my dad that they sought me out. Aunt Lan and I both knew. It’s just that we didn’t want to cause trouble for his work because of us. So we’ve been pretending to know nothing all along."

As she spoke, Mu Shanshan, the cold CEO, cried even more. If Lin Fei weren’t quick to help wipe her tears,

Mu Shanshan, the cold CEO’s T-shirt would have been completely soaked by her tears.

"I, I’ve been working hard these years to share some of his burden, to relieve some of his pressure and help him as much as possible. The reason I wanted to expand into the international market so quickly is because I wanted to help him. I know he comes to New Star Forest every time he returns to the country. I just wanted our company to establish a foothold here, to help him a little. I lost my mother when I was little; I can’t lose him too. I really don’t want to lose him..."

By the end of her words, Mu Shanshan, the cold CEO, was sobbing uncontrollably. Her tears were like a flood bursting through a dam, flooding out.

From the previous constant tears, it turned into wailing.

This time, Lin Fei didn’t have to reach out, as Mu Shanshan, the cold CEO, actively collapsed into Lin Fei’s arms.

Crying tearfully.

These words had been buried in Mu Shanshan, the cold CEO’s heart for years, with no one to tell them to.

Although Aunt Lan also knew that Mu Hong was working for the country, the two of them maintained a tacit understanding to avoid putting pressure on each other.

Whether Mu Hong was at home or not, Mu Shanshan, the cold CEO, and Aunt Lan kept their lips sealed on this matter.

They rarely even talked about Mu Hong.

Especially Aunt Lan, who, in front of Mu Shanshan, the cold CEO, would not mention Mu Hong unless absolutely necessary.

She feared that Mu Shanshan, the cold CEO, would worry and be heartbroken over Mu Hong’s hidden work.

Just as the woman herself said, ever since taking over the Mu Group, she’s been working hard. In the eyes of outsiders, her diligence was solely due to her seeing the Mu Group as very important or to prove her business acumen through it.

Before today, even Lin Fei thought so.

But now, after hearing Mu Shanshan, the cold CEO, reveal her heart, Lin Fei felt an immense pain for her.

His heart ached a hundredfold!

Had it not been for Mu Shanshan, the cold CEO, openly crying and speaking, Lin Fei might never have known how much psychological pressure the CEO wife had been under all these years.

"You silly woman, he’s your dad, but he’s also my dad. You should have told me these things sooner. I’m not an outsider. Keeping all of this inside would only harm you eventually. Cry all you want, cry it all out, and you’ll feel better."

Even with so much to say in his heart, all Lin Fei could do at this moment was tightly hold the woman in his arms. Using this method, he gave Mu Shanshan, the cold CEO, whatever solace he could...
