The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255: 245 Divine Doctor, Hacker [3 Updates]

The Mu family could be considered the first business empire of Imperial Capital.

But because they had a General’s Background, even though they had entered commerce, they still possessed significant influence in other areas.

Furthermore, Mu Heqing had received many honors, his merits were too great, and he was under state protection with an extraordinarily terrifying network.

In this regard, the Nie Family and the Xiu Family could not compare with the Mu family.

Thus, Mu Chenzhou found some things baffling.

Mu Heqing was retiring, and when it came to selecting a successor within the Mu family, who else was qualified to intervene and dictate the affairs of the Mu family?

Probably not even Old Master Nie was qualified.

Seeing Mu Chenzhou’s reaction, Mu Weifeng thought for a moment, “You don’t know?”

“I don’t know,” Mu Chenzhou considered that Mu Weifeng was testing him, his tone cooled slightly, “You also said Mr. Mu Cheng came before me, and I can’t foresee the future.”

Madam Mu had also reminded him repeatedly that among the other candidates for succession, the one he needed to be most wary of was Mu Weifeng.

Mu Weifeng was two years younger than him, twenty this year, and still a student at Imperial Capital University.

Imperial Capital University is the top academic institution in Hua Country, with high prestige in the international academic community.

Imperial Capital University selects students solely based on ability and doesn’t care if they are from a major clan.

The only disadvantage was that Mu Weifeng’s parents had passed away early, leaving no one to support him.

Additionally, doctors had declared that he would not live past thirty.

A person with a short life was not suitable to inherit the Mu family.

“Grandfather’s life-saving benefactor,” Mu Weifeng coughed faintly, “a divine healer.”

He paused, then added, “Mr. Mu Cheng said that if it weren’t for this divine healer, it’s very likely that grandfather would not have made it past the beginning of this year.”

“Grandfather greatly admires this divine healer and even considered handing over the Mu family directly to them. However, the healer is disinterested in the matter.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Chenzhou’s furrowed brows eased, “I know who it is now.”

The matter of the Meng Family treating Mu Heqing wasn’t a secret; even Madam Mu knew about it.

But Madam Mu only knew it was a very skilled healer from the Meng Family, not who it was exactly.

When communicating with Meng Jingyu, Mu Chenzhou was fortunate enough to learn the name of this healer.

They were from the direct lineage of the Meng Family, very young, yet their medical skills were nothing short of magical and not inferior to the older generation.

Mu Heqing held this healer in very high esteem and even became friends with her despite their age difference.

If it were Mu Heqing’s life-saver, then their meddling in the Mu family’s succession affairs wouldn’t be strange.

Mu Weifeng was unaware, but he didn’t ask.

A few minutes later, Mu Cheng, who had left earlier, returned.

Mu Chenzhou did not know if it was his misconception, but it seemed like Mu Cheng took an extra glance at him.

“The first assessment is set for the end of this month,” Mu Cheng handed the documents in his hand to the butler, “Please ensure all young masters and young ladies arrive on time. The details of the assessment are in here, and there will be no further explanation at that time.”

The butler distributed the documents, and everyone received their own copy.

On seeing the content of the assessment, everyone’s expression turned solemn.

“Mr. Mu Cheng,” Mu Chenzhou suddenly spoke up, “we still can’t see grandfather?”

“Pass the first assessment, and you will be able to see him; this is the rule of the Mu family,” said Mu Cheng, “The old master went through the same process too.”

In the last century and during the Dynastic Era, the assessments for the Mu family’s successors were conducted with such systems in place.

This was to ensure that the Mu family would not become corrupt and decay internally, so even if some descendants harbored ill intentions, the entire Mu family would not fall.

Mu Chenzhou pursed his lips and sat down.

He had thought that Mu Heqing would appear in person to tell them.

Before leaving, Mu Cheng stopped in front of Mu Weifeng, “Young Master Wei Feng, given your health condition, I suggest you seek treatment to avoid complications during the assessment.”

Mu Weifeng smiled faintly, “Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Mu Cheng. If the opportunity arises, I will.”

Mu Cheng nodded and then left.

Shanghai City.

Eleven o’clock at night.

Even late at night, this international metropolis was still brightly lit and bustling with traffic.

However, that did not include an abandoned villa in the Northern Suburbs.

The area around the villa seemed calm, but was in fact concealed with many people.

They all wore black tight-fitting leather clothing, blending into the night.

These people were the elite trained by the Bevin Family.

Hua Country had Ancient martial arts, and O-continent also had its own specialized martial arts techniques.

Those mercenaries had strength not inferior to ancient martial artists.

Especially for a major clan like the Bevin Family, which had spent a lot of money to recruit some listed hunters.
