Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 974 - 41: Every Family Has Its Own Difficulties

Some old fools cling to life without doing anything, while everyone is outside waiting with bated breath, hoping they’d just hurry up and die.

Some old folks manage to crawl out of the pit peacefully, no longer occupying society’s resources, and people tend to be much kinder to them.

The Old Master Wang of the Mu Family is very old, about to cross the threshold of a hundred years, which is considered a blessing whether in ancient or modern times.

The most important thing is that he’s not annoying. When it comes to doing things, he does everything he can. When it’s time to leave, he leaves everything he shouldn’t take away.

Not seeking fame or fortune, not greedy for credit, he gives his all and becomes even stronger as he ages.

Everyone has no objection to him living a few more years; they even welcome it.

The Mu Family especially values this.

After all, apart from the old man, there’s hardly anyone else in King Mu’s Mansion who can take on the major responsibilities.

It’s not that others are incapable, it’s just that no one can command respect.

No one can possess the same prestige as the old man, glaring and making the entire family fall silent.

The Mu Family members in the military are not particularly concerned about the old man’s lifespan.

Since ancient times, generals have been fated to die on the battlefield; the fact that the old man has lived to this day is already remarkable, each extra day is a bonus.

When his eyes close, it will be a happy funeral.

Instead, those members of the Mu Family who haven’t served are more worried about the old man’s health.

Currently, out of respect for the old man, everyone must give face to the Mu Family. Once the old man is gone, who would care who you are?

Wang Yunxiao considered this matter too lightly, thinking it was just a heretical sect remnant secretly stirring up trouble.

According to Mu Tiansheng’s confession at the police station, this doctor named Zhao Baosheng runs a Medicine Hall in the Seaside District and has had contact with him, discussing this miraculous little pill.

Zhao Baosheng calls it the "Eight Treasures Great Rejuvenation Pill."

Mu Tiansheng doesn’t believe in such nonsense at all.

As the seventh young master of the Mu Family, he is known as a top-notch playboy in the Tianmen circle, having seen all sorts of bizarre elixirs, most of which have grandiose names meant to deceive, with added potent ingredients to fool people.

Some even follow ancient methods, adding things like cinnabar and mercury.

You call it a miracle cure just because you say so?

My old man was fine before, but ate one of your pills and just died, where do I go to plead for justice?

Seeing Mu Tiansheng’s disbelief, Zhao Baosheng took the opportunity to put on a good show for him.

If it were someone else, you might not believe, but when your own mistress comes back to life, the evidence before your eyes, you can’t call me a fraud, right?

It’s just that even if Mu Tiansheng believed it, it was of no use. His domineering attitude flared up, and he dared to shoot without caring about anything.

In the end, he sent himself into detention.

As Wang Yunxiao just finished arranging his work, the Mu Family came knocking.

After walking a few steps out of the police station, an officer blocked his way.

"Section Chief Wang, is it convenient to chat for a bit right now?"

"Right here?"

The officer pointed to a car not far away.

Wang Yunxiao wasn’t afraid of any tricks, so he opened the car door and got in.

Inside, there was another person, who looked familiar.

Mu Yushu.

Although no one in King Mu’s Mansion can lead, thinking all the descendants are useless is also unfair.

Binary thinking is not advisable.

The middle generation has at least two core figures, one being Mu Yuheng, the other Mu Yushu.

Mu Yuheng holds an important position in the Secretary Bureau, and Mu Yushu is in charge of a confidential department in the military. They’re both very low-key... or it can be said that the outstanding Mu generation in the Mu Family are all low-key, having little presence.

Being low-key and having little presence naturally makes you less noticeable than those who are loud and ostentatious.

"We met once at the family house, do you remember?"

Mu Yushu began with this, forcing Wang Yunxiao to chuckle dryly.

Of course, I remember you, because I have a good memory. Without Mu Tiansheng’s incident, would you remember me?

"I’m actually a bit confused whether you should call me Fourth Brother or Fourth Uncle."

Depending on the side you follow, whether Veronica’s or Li Mumu’s

So Wang Yunxiao replied earnestly, "When talking about work, we should use our titles. Did General Mu come to me about Mu Tiansheng?"

"Mu Tiansheng?"

Mu Yushu shook his head and said, "The child was spoiled by his father, a little suffering wouldn’t hurt. I’m here to ask you about God’s Blood. Do you know the specifics of this thing?"

Wang Yunxiao looked at him, nodded, and said, "I know of it, but it involves supernatural factors, so I’m not in a position to discuss it with you. If you want to understand the specifics, why not ask the Special Service Bureau or the Secretary Bureau?"

We’re not in the same department, why should I give you this information?

Mu Yushu waved his hand and said, "You’ve misunderstood. I’m not interested in the item, but if the news reaches certain ears, it will be troublesome. I just want to know what side effects this drug has or what price must be paid?"

"God’s Blood isn’t considered a secret, the Blood Cup Sect caused a commotion last year and spread the information all over; those interested would already know."

Wang Yunxiao glanced oddly at Mu Yushu, thinking, you even know the name God’s Blood, yet you’re unaware of this stuff?

"The side effects are currently unknown, but the cost is significant, frankly, it’s life for life."

This technology, rather than magic, could be considered a form of black tech. Foreigners love to engage in this kind of stuff; even in a world without mystical elements, they would raise lolis to extract similar products.

There’s no secrecy around it; the Blood Cup Sect themselves would love to share it globally. If you feign ignorance, you’d seem foolish.

Just because there’s a path doesn’t mean you can take it.

Many money-making methods are written in the ’Criminal Law’, but you haven’t dared to learn them.

After a long silence, Mu Yushu spoke, "Section Chief Wang, whether you acknowledge it or not, you’re already considered half a Mu Family member. I know your Nantong Sub-Bureau is known for its tough stance, never giving face to anyone in investigations... of course, that’s a good thing."

"Now there’s a family affair, and if not handled properly, it could become very troublesome. I wonder if you’d be willing to take it on."

Wang Yunxiao raised his eyebrows, "A family affair of King Mu’s Mansion? You think too highly of me. Not to mention King Mu’s Mansion isn’t in our jurisdiction, I can’t stretch my hand that far. Even if there’s such a matter, you should seek the Special Service Bureau’s assistance. My bowl is small, I can’t handle so much."

"I already said it’s a family affair, better handled by our own people. Besides..."

Mu Yushu looked at Wang Yunxiao, lowering his voice, "If the Mu Family supports your advancement in the Special Service Bureau system, wouldn’t it be justified to handle such matters?"
