A sense of foreboding also welled up in Mu Jinyuan's heart, but before he could figure out exactly where things had gone wrong, he saw a figure he was extremely familiar with appear on the television.
Mu Lili!
At this moment, his heart suddenly turned cold, and at the same time, a feeling of uncontrollable rage flooded into his brain.
He had calculated everything, yet he never expected that Mu Lili would actually choose to betray him!
This was his own biological sister!
Everything Mu Lili possessed now was given to her by him!
But now, his own sister had chosen to betray him! And at such a critical moment!
At this time, Mu Jinyuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he stared fixedly at Mu Lili on the television.
By this time, Mu Lili was already with the police and reporters, and very quickly, the content of the video call between Mu Jinyuan and them just moments ago was made public.
Of course, the parts concerning Zhang Ran had already been deleted.
Instantly, a massive uproar erupted on the internet; they hadn't even finished digesting the previous bombshell, and here came another one, and it was just as explosive!
But one thing was beyond doubt: Mu Jinyuan was finished, completely finished!
Those shareholders also tacitly began to distance themselves from Mu Jinyuan the very next moment, as if they wanted to draw a clear line between themselves and him.
However, Mu Jinyuan paid them no mind at this moment; he turned his head to look at Zhang Ran.
Zhang Ran chuckled and said, "How is it? Are you satisfied with this gift I prepared? Have you tasted the flavor of being betrayed?"
Mu Jinyuan was breathing deeply, staring fixedly at Zhang Ran, and said word by word, "How did you convince Lili?"
"That's simple. I stopped pursuing her, and at the same time, I removed some of the shackles on her. Isn't that enough?" Zhang Ran said calmly.
Mu Jinyuan fell silent. It was enough, more than enough!
In truth, regardless of whether he had confidence in himself this time, as long as he showed even the slightest sign of defeat, it wouldn't be worth it for Mu Lili to gamble!
Zhang Ran looked at Mu Jinyuan, his gaze very calm.
Mu Jinyuan's mind was becoming somewhat dazed at this moment; he didn't know what he was thinking, and his eyes lacked focus.
He thought of some things from his past, thought of his journey over these years, and thought even more of his current predicament!
"Do you have anything else to say?" Zhang Ran asked indifferently.
At this moment, he already held the upper hand, and whatever Mu Jinyuan did on his side was merely a futile struggle.
Mu Jinyuan came back to his senses, looked at Zhang Ran, and finally sighed, "I have nothing left to say; everything is my own just deserts."
"However, I ask that Mr. Zhang spare the others."
Zhang Ran sneered, "Spare them? If you had chosen to step forward at the very beginning, let alone sparing them, even your position could have been preserved. Now you talk about sparing them? Do you think that's possible?"
Mu Jinyuan said, "I'm already like this, what more do you want?"
"Nothing more. In all these years, have you never thought it would end up like this?" Zhang Ran countered.
Mu Jinyuan stopped talking. Of course he had thought about it, especially after Zhang Ran returned.
He understood Zhang Ran very well; the few times Zhang Ran had made a move back then had left too deep an impression on him.
He had also anticipated a situation like this.
It was just that he hadn't expected Zhang Ran to be so ruthless!
Not only did he make him fail, but he even made him taste the same betrayal! A betrayal more profound than the one he had dealt to Zhang Ran!
Thinking of this, Mu Jinyuan's heart couldn't help but ache!
"Mr. Zhang, I said before, all of Mu Yuan's expenses were from the portion I was entitled to; he didn't spend a single cent of the rest of the money." Mu Jinyuan still wanted to make a final effort.
Zhang Ran looked at him, suddenly smiled, and then said, "Spare Mu Yuan? Fine."
"What?" Mu Jinyuan was stunned for a moment; he hadn't expected Zhang Ran to agree so readily, but he immediately realized why.
"What do you need me to do?" Mu Jinyuan took a deep breath and asked.
Zhang Ran pointed at the people beside him and said, "I need to retake control of Galaxy Capital at the lowest possible cost. I believe you can do it very well."
Zhang Ran's investigation into the Mu Family had begun long ago, and Mu Yuan was no exception. Just as Mu Jinyuan said, all of Mu Yuan's expenses did not exceed the portion of money Mu Jinyuan had earned.
And apart from being a bit of a playboy, he had no other major flaws.
Of course, the main reason was that Zhang Ran didn't think much of Mu Yuan, and furthermore, this young master who had lived in luxury since childhood would likely be unable to accept a life where he went from being a high-and-mighty young master to a destitute, penniless boy.
That would also be a form of torture for him!
Therefore, Zhang Ran chose to use this to exchange for the last remaining chips in Mu Jinyuan's hands!
At the same time, it was also because Zhang Ran didn't want to waste any more time, and he certainly didn't want any complications!
Mu Jinyuan's eyes flickered instantly, while the expressions of those shareholders changed, and they looked at Mu Jinyuan one after another.
"Don't think about having any other demands. I am not a philanthropist, understand?" Zhang Ran's voice suddenly turned cold.
Mu Jinyuan knew this was likely Zhang Ran's greatest concession, but it was enough.
However, just at this moment, Zhang Ran added, "Also, the assets you secretly left for Mu Yuan must all be handed over. Don't think that because you did it secretly, I wouldn't be able to find out.
Once I discover it, this agreement will be voided immediately!"
Mu Jinyuan looked deeply at Zhang Ran and said nothing more. Zhang Ran was forcing him again, not only ruining his reputation and causing his friends and family to abandon him, but even forcing him to personally send his own son into a life of poverty.
This was Zhang Ran's revenge!
Mu Jinyuan felt very unwilling in his heart, and even had the thought of fighting Zhang Ran to the death, but very quickly, he dismissed these thoughts.
Since Zhang Ran had come, he must have made full preparations.
"I'll give you three minutes to consider," Zhang Ran said, checking the time.
Those shareholders also looked at Mu Jinyuan one after another; they knew that if Mu Jinyuan chose to go down with them, he had the capability to do so.
After all, most matters concerning the entire Galaxy Capital were under Mu Jinyuan's control.
Plus, now that their funds had been withdrawn, if he made even the slightest move, they wouldn't be able to react at all.
It didn't take three minutes; Mu Jinyuan agreed.
"I agree to this condition!" Mu Jinyuan said with his eyes closed; in this short span of time, he had experienced far too much.
At this moment, it was his turn to betray these collaborators again; it could be said that Zhang Ran had made him experience many things in this short time that ordinary people could not accept.
This was also a form of immense psychological torture for Mu Jinyuan, and most crucially, after he finished handling things as Zhang Ran had said, he would still need to send himself to prison.
Zhang Ran had never intended to let him get off truly easily.
