“Missy, you cannot do this! Quickly get up, we can continue to discuss the matter then!”
Amongst all of the elders of the Mo Family, Mo Chengliang was the most particular about hierarchies and rules.
Even though Nian Xiaomu was his junior, she was the Missy of the Mo Family, as well as the heir that the head of the family had personally appointed.
He had already recognized the severity of the situation when she first kowtowed to him; the moment he saw that Nian Xiaomu was planning to kowtow for the second time, he no longer dared to hesitate and pulled her up from the ground without a second word.
“The things that you have mentioned are very serious matters, and I cannot decide everything on my own. However, I understand your concern. Let’s head down now, I need to consult the other elders on this matter; if they feel that this is workable, I will take your grandpa over to my side and take care of him.”
“Uncle!”
In an instant, Mo Kun’s expression became completely enraged.
His hands, that were draped at the sides of his body, tightened into fists.
He did not dare to believe that Nian Xiaomu had actually managed to convince Mo Chengliang with just a few sentences.
He had actually disregarded his position as Mo Chengxian’s son and wanted to forcefully take him away.
However, if all the elders of the Mo Family agreed to this, along with Nian Xiaomu’s accusations, he would instead turn into the most powerless one.
If he were to persist in his stand and keep Mo Chengxian with him, everyone else might just suspect him for being guilty of his deeds. By that time, things would definitely not be advantageous for him…
“Alright, let’s not talk about it any further! Let’s head down, everyone is waiting for us downstairs.”
As Mo Chengliang finished speaking, he took the lead and walked down the stairs.
After a discussion with a few influential elders, all of them agreed uniformly to Nian Xiaomu’s request of temporarily taking the elderly head away.
“He shall stay in Mo Chengliang’s villa; apart from Mo Yongheng, who has been taking care of him all this time, no one will be allowed to visit him before the matter between Mo Qian and Nian Xiaomu is thoroughly investigated.”
Nian Xiaomu heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this.
Mo Kun had painstakingly built up his image over the past three years, and they had already known beforehand that her one-sided statement would not be sufficient to defeat him.
From the beginning, the huge hoo-ha today was so that they could plant seeds of suspicion in the hearts of the Mo Family’s elders.
Mo Kun would not readily admit that he was a fake, but he had, instead, fallen into Nian Xiaomu’s trap with his actions.
Even if Nian Xiaomu had requested for the elders of the Mo Family to take Mo Chengxian away, he could only restrain himself and observe the situation silently as he was worried that he would be exposed.
As long as Mo Chengxian was taken away from the villa, Mo Kun would no longer have a bargaining chip that he could use to threaten Nian Xiaomu in the future.
In that case, they could go about doing things without much restraint.
It seemed as if they had gained nothing out of this battle today.
However, in fact, they had seized total victory!
After Mo Chengliang was done with settling Mo Chengxian’s arrangements, he walked over to Nian Xiaomu again.
“As for the DNA test, I will send my men to watch the process closely, and I will not let anyone have the chance to tamper with the results. I will discuss with the other members of the Mo Family about the act of arson, that you mentioned earlier after the report is out.”
The test would definitely be done multiple times for safety purposes.
The detailed and comprehensive laboratory tests would take at least a few hours.
It would be easy to make mistakes during the busy process.
Mo Chengliang was not in a rush to complete the tasks; instead, after he had asked Nian Xiaomu her opinion he told everyone to take their leave.
He had planned to discuss the matter the next day after all of the test reports were out.
Mo Kun had never expected the matter to escalate to this extent.
Others might not know of the results of the DNA test report, but he did.
Right now, he was the most reluctant one to see the results. As such, when Mo Chengliang suggested they discuss the matter the next day, he agreed to it readily.
He was originally worried that Nian Xiaomu would object to it; however, she merely calmly replied with an “okay” before she turned around and left the Mo Family villa.
