Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife - Chapter 112
Chapter 112: I’m Innocent!
Mu Qiqi looked at Su Zipei as she was entering the meeting room. After that, her uncles from the Mu family also reached the meeting room.
Mu Qiqi watched her youngest uncle subconsciously. It was because Sheng Xiao asked her to stay at the scene as she would be quite useful there.
Mr. Mu Xiao then gave her a knowing smile.
After that, Papa Mu’s secretary emerged from the meeting room and asked Mu Qiqi, “Young lady, would you like to wait at the lounge?”
“No need. I’ll wait here. I won’t go anywhere else.” Mu Qiqi was afraid that Papa Mu would manipulate his secretary and do something to her.
The secretary was respectfully denied but she did not force Mu Qiqi. She allowed Mu Qiqi to stand outside the meeting room.
It was nine o’clock sharp in the morning. All the stakeholders of Mu Group had already reached the meeting room. There were twenty four of them.
“The reason we are holding this board meeting today is because of the rumors regarding our current CEO. The rumors have created a bigger mess than before. Murder one’s own wife! That rumor has done a great deal of damage to Mu Group. The shares went downhill and our trusts plummeted. The other companies have refused to work with us and even the suppliers have chosen other companies to work with. Hence, I wish that CEO Mu could give us a reasonable explanation.”
“You promised us before that you won’t endanger Mu Group again. But, it has been only a few days ago when you made us that promise. Was it a lie?” One of the stakeholders bombarded Papa Mu with the question the minute the board meeting began.
However, Papa Mu smiled calmly. He turned to look at Su Zipei.
“I won’t break my promise. The rumor which was spread online was just somebody’s trick against us. Aren’t you aware that I was in Japan when my wife passed away in that fire accident? How did I murder my wife?”
“Madam Su, what do you think? Why don’t we deal with the conflicts between us privately? Why do you have to make it known to everybody?”
Papa Mu put the blame on Su Zipei intentionally.
He was implying that she was the one who spread the rumor online.
“Why would Su Zipei do such a thing?” The stockholders were doubtful.
“It’s because I didn’t get her approval before cremating my wife’s body. She wants to take revenge on me so that’s why she framed me…” Papa Mu twisted the fact naturally.
Su Zipei laughed when she was being blamed. She seemed calmer than him. “I don’t understand what you are saying!”
“Zipei, how come you don’t understand what I am saying? Surely, you do understand it.”
“If Mr. Mu wants to force the blame on me, I’ll accept it.” Su Zipei shrugged her shoulders. “But, could you deny the fact that you’re incapable of resolving the issue? When the incident happened, did you meet with the PR team? Did you try your best to resolve the issue? We didn’t come here to put the blame on anybody. If you’re unable to come up with a plan to resolve the issue at hand, who will guarantee our interests as the stakeholders if the situation continues to worsen?”
Sheng Xiao taught Su Zipei how to deal with it beforehand.
She should not admit to anything no matter how much Papa Mu blamed her. Moreover, she needed to put the focus on resolving the issue instead of the cause of the issue.
“It would be different if you’re the one who planned the event. Surely, I want to clear my doubts.”
“Brother-in-law, let’s forget about it since my sister’s corpse has been cremated. Do you think that I’ll plan such a great plot against you just for a small matter?” Su Zipei retorted to Papa Mu. “I believe that you have nothing to do with my sister’s death. Why would I frame you since I believe in you? What’s in it for me?”
Papa Mu found it hard to continue because Su Zipei seemed to not hate him anymore. She acted like it did not bother her at all.
“CEO Mu, we just want to know how you’re going to resolve the issue. Now, you’re putting the blame on a woman. It’s really something!” The stockholders sided with Su Zipei immediately.
“The shares of Mu Group are plummeting. The two conflicts which arose recently caused us a great deal of damage. Now, you even try to blame the others during the board meeting. Since you’re acting like this, how could we allow you to continue holding the position as the CEO?”
“Surely, I have my ways to tackle the issue. The secretary placed them in front of you just now. It’s regarding how to resolve the issue at hand.” Papa Mu sneered, “Mu Group has been framed several times now. How could we endure those attacks silently?”
“I’m innocent. I have worked diligently for Mu Group for the past few years. Now, Mu Group is such a great company. Can’t I take credit for what I’ve contributed to Mu Group?”
“Are you going to fire me just because of a small matter like this?”
The stakeholders soon opened the files in front of them and began reading the information after they heard him.
Su Zipei also calmed herself down. She knew that she needed to remain calm if she wanted to fight against Papa Mu.
“I invited the police officer to appear in a chat show with me. I asked him to explain the fire accident in the show. The public would sympathize with us because of the misunderstanding before. So, why don’t you treat this as a tactic to promote Mu Group?”
Suddenly, the stakeholders remained quiet after reading the information.
However, Mr. Mu Xiao spoke all of a sudden. “Let’s ask the others to do that kind of thing. Surely, we’ll be able to gain back their trust. You don’t have to do it yourself, Brother.”
“Brother, what do you mean?” Papa Mu became nervous. Normally, his little brother rarely raised an opinion. He always remained neutral. Why did he choose to side with Su Zipei this time around?
“What I mean is there are so many things for them to talk about when it comes to your family. Besides the incident where Xue’er exchanged the exam papers and my sister-in-law’s death, there might be more…”
“You might escape unscathed this time. But, how about next time?”
“Brother! You need to think carefully before you speak!” Papa Mu said to him rather angrily. It seemed like he was threatening him too.
“Isn’t Mom’s death a mystery too?” Mr. Mu Xiao retorted. “Moreover, you disowned your own daughter. These events were recent. If we retrace your steps, how about that incident with Young Master Shen? If somebody digs it up, are we going to endure each and every risk with you?”
Su Zipei was stunned when she heard him mention Young Master Shen.
Did it mean that Mr. Mu Xiao was aware of it? Was it possible that the entire Mu family was aware of it but they chose to conceal it intentionally?
“There are a lot of excellent people here in the company. Why would we want a person with all kinds of loopholes to be the CEO? If you want to risk it, just go ahead. But, I won’t agree to that!”
The stakeholders reconsidered the possibility of dismissing Papa Mu after listening to what Mr. Mu Xiao said.
Grandpa Mu saw what happened. Soon, he understood what they wanted.
“I also feel that CEO Mu has tried his best to resolve the issue. But, I’m still worried to allow him to continue holding the post as the CEO!” The other stakeholders started to raise their opinions too.
