Yang Cuiping stepped out of the room, her eyes reddened and teary, unsure of what to do in the face of the scene unfolding before her.

Mu Lianshen, with a cold and expressionless demeanor, looked at Mu Wanlan on the floor and said in a calm yet indifferent tone, "Mu Wanlan, confess everything you've done..."

Mu Wanlan, biting her lip, looked at her son, who was crying and turned away, utterly at a loss. She was too terrified to admit anything, feeling panic overwhelm her.

Mu Lianshen stood up from his chair and walked step by step to the crying boy. He grabbed the boy by the neck, lifting him up, causing the child's cries to abruptly stop and his face to turn blue.

"Mu Lianshen, ah, ah, ah, you madman... Stop it, Rui Rui..."

Seeing the child about to suffocate, Yang Cuiping rushed forward, tears streaming down her face as she grabbed Mu Lianshen's hand. "Son, he's about to die, let him go..."

Old Master Mu also shouted urgently, "Lianshen, let go. Don't forget, you're a soldier!"

Fearing that Mu Lianshen might make a fatal mistake, Old Master Mu hastily signaled his guards to intervene. However, since the guards were now Mu Lianshen's men, they did not comply. As the child's life was hanging by a thread, Old Master Mu quickly stepped forward and tried to pull Mu Lianshen away.

Mu Lianshen released his grip, and the child fell to the ground like a rag, unconscious.

Mu Wanlan rushed over, hugging the child and crying out in despair, "Mu Lianshen, you're a devil. He's only nine years old... Are you even human?"

Her face was a mask of madness, despair, and hatred, tears streaming down as she nearly broke down.

She struggled to her feet with the child in her arms, attempting to leave, but the guards blocked her path.

Mu Wanlan glared at them with fury. "I need to take the child to the hospital. If anything happens to him, I won't let you off!"

Mu Lianshen's eyes were icy, filled with a cold and unfeeling glare.

Suddenly, he started laughing.

"You won't let me off? Hahaha..."

He yanked the boy from her arms and threw him to one of the guards, his voice chillingly cold. "You'd better confess everything you've done, or you can watch him die..."

Yang Cuiping approached, trying to take the child into her arms, her eyes pleading as she looked at Mu Lianshen. "Son, if anything happens to him, you'll also be held accountable. And he's only nine, so young..."

Mu Lianshen glared at the woman before him, his eyes reddening. Then he roared, kicking the chair beside him with force.

"He's just a child... What about my child? Mother... Tell me, why does my child have to suffer so much? I entrusted her to you before I left... What did you do behind my back?"

At that moment, Mu Lianshen's mind flashed with Fu Xiao's face.

Her eyes filled with hatred, her silent tears.

Mu Lianshen's demeanor grew more and more unhinged. "What have you been hiding from me? Mother, what role did you play in this? You've always cared for me since I was young. Why would you do something like this?"

"Because I trusted you... I handed my pregnant Jing Shu over to you, and now, I've lost my beloved wife. My daughter will never forgive me..."

He understood Fu Xiao; no matter the hidden truths, she would never forgive him for the actions of the Mu family.
