Mu Yunyi raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Businessmen pursue profit. No one would give up such a good opportunity under absolute benefit. Moreover, the Howard family has been affected because of their previous relationship with James, the blood clan. Therefore, all of the Howard family's assets are now under influence."

“Coincidentally, those who swallowed up James’s industries are now important partners with our Mu family. As long as the Mu family says a word, the pressure from the Howard family will be greatly reduced.”

And that, of course, wouldn't be enough. If we release another big fish, Howard won't be able to resist the bait.

Regardless, that so-called Lisa's arrogance and domineering attitude stem solely from being the daughter of the Howard family.

If Howard makes a move, then Lisa will have no choice but to keep her thoughts to herself, even if she has other ideas.

They didn't have time to slowly search for Mu Yun Shang's whereabouts. The fastest way now was to directly have them send Mu Yun Shang back to them!

An Bao listened to Mu Yun Shang's words, blinking her big eyes as if she understood but didn't quite grasp it. Then, with a look of astonishment on her face, she exclaimed, "Great Uncle is so amazing!!!"

As expected! Many things can't be solved by metaphysics alone.

Businesspeople seem to have their own unique ways of solving problems.

Anbao thought her uncle was really smart, the kind of ridiculously brilliant, unmatched intelligence in the universe!

Huan Yi watched from the side as his beloved disciple stared at Mu Yun Yi with admiration, tears streaming down his face.

Sniff sniff sniff!

I've raised that apprentice for so long!

You really changed your heart!

Waaaah! The old man is so wronged!

Howard's eyes lit up immediately upon receiving the news, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"

"Yes, sir. The people from the Mu family said that as long as we can send Master Mu back, they will immediately withdraw their forces surrounding the Howard family and, moreover, can help the Howard family enter the Chinese market."

Howard's assistant respectfully relayed the message received from Mu Yunyi and his companions to Howard, without omitting a single word.

Howard's eyes lit up with excitement.

He knew it!

Mu Yun Shang is very important to this Mu family!

It's no wonder he helped his own daughter kidnap Mu Yunshang!

These days, Howard is truly living with a great deal of anxiety!

If it weren't for James's actions, they wouldn't have been implicated at all, let alone seen their family business profits cut in half!

If Mu Yunyi could really do as he said, then...

Howard took a deep breath and hurriedly instructed his assistant, "Go tell them, the people can be released. But we need to sign a contract immediately. Once the contract is signed, we will definitely 'help them find Master Mu back'. Do you hear me? We're helping to bring him back."

Nobody here would admit to that, Howard wouldn't.

No matter what, since we're cooperating, we need to at least put on a show of effort.

Otherwise, if they really kidnapped Mu Yunshang to threaten the Mu family, then spreading this news wouldn't be good.

No matter if it's true kidnapping or not, they can't acknowledge this name!

The assistant, after hearing Howard's words, immediately went to make contact again. After a while, he returned and continued to report: "They agreed!"

"Agreed? Great, great! Get the contract ready immediately and have them sign it! As soon as they sign, we'll make their wish come true!"

"Yes!"

In just ten minutes, Howard received a faxed copy of the contract signed by Mu. Overjoyed, he immediately called Lisa: "Lisa, my dear daughter! Have you made things official with that Third Young Master of the Mu family yet?"

Lisa heard Howard's call and couldn't help but frown, her voice somewhat unpleasant: "No! Father, I don't want to..."

Lisa hadn't finished her sentence when Howard interrupted, "That's alright, that's alright. It doesn't matter if it doesn't happen. I was thinking about letting you two get married and have a child of the Mu family. It would be more legitimate that way, but now it doesn't matter. Since we've already partnered with Mu Corporation, we'll see each other often in the future and there will still be opportunities."

"Well, speaking of which," Howard paused for a moment before breaking into a chuckle. "Now then, Lisa, see that Master Mu San is brought over here to me. The future father-in-law is about to arrive."

Lisa was stunned after hearing Howard's words. The somewhat agitated tone in her voice instantly turned tense, and she hurriedly asked, "Father, you mean, the Mu family is coming?"

“Yes, just now the Mu family has signed a contract with us. As long as we help them find Mu Yunshang, they will cooperate with us in depth. Not only can this solve our family’s current urgent need, but it can also make our family even better!”

Howard didn't notice anything off about Lisa's tone at all. He was too excited, chattering away and grinning so widely his teeth were practically touching.

Lisa's heart skipped a beat. She pursed her lips and asked cautiously, "Father, when...when will they arrive?"

Thirty minutes, hurry up.

"But father, Mu Yun Shang, Mu Yun Shang he…"

Lisa stuttered and hesitated, unable to speak plainly. Howard suddenly felt something was wrong, he sat up straight instantly, furrowed his brows, and gripped his phone tightly as he asked, "What happened to Mu Yun Shang? You wouldn't have killed him, would you?"

"No, no, Father, he, he ran away! He took that succubus with him, my men are pursuing them, but so far..."

Lisa stopped there, not daring to speak another word. She simply waited in silence for Howard's reply.

She knew too well how important the family business was to Howard!

It's also known that Howard, since he has already agreed to return Mu Yunshang, is determined to cooperate with the Mu family.

Of course, at the beginning, it was indeed Howard who allowed Lisa to abduct Mu Yunshang in order to cooperate with the Mu family. He even specially sought out some love-enhancing elixirs, all for the purpose of turning a fleeting romance into a serious relationship!

That potion, once ingested and followed by sexual intercourse, will guarantee pregnancy!

Even if the Mu family didn't want her, they couldn't possibly give up this child who belongs to the Mu family!

After all, I hear that in Hua Guo, having children is highly valued!

But now...

There were no children. Mu Yunshang, too, disappeared...

That cooperation... I'm afraid it might be...

"Lisa! Look at what you've done! I don't care what methods you used! Half my life, if I couldn't see Mu Yun Shang, I would pretend you weren't my daughter!!!"

Howard was truly furious at this moment. He lost his temper and yelled at Lisa before hanging up the phone.

Lisa trembled at Howard's roar, feeling a mix of hurt and fear.
