454 Common Enemy
Normally, he would not even bother to talk to someone like Mu Kun. The man was too ambitious and did not have any real ability. A fence-sitter like him could only be used but not be trusted.
However, Mu Kun’s son was a little different. He could see things more clearly than Mu Kun. It was hard to say what would happen in the future.
Marquis Su and Mrs. Su walked out.
At night, Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan left the Marquis Mansion.
Mu Kun had left the place a long time ago. He wasn’t important anyway.
Su Yanyu sent Liu Sanniang out before returning with Mu Cong.
He was in an extremely good mood. He held Mu Cong’s shoulder. “I guess I’ve become friends with Miss Liu now, right?”
Mu Cong replied with a smile. “I think so.”
They had already dined together, and they were collaborating to fight the same enemy. Even if they weren’t friends, they were familiar with each other.
Su Yanyu chuckled. “Brace yourself. This matter concerns our life. I don’t want to die so young.”
He had eaten a lot of food in Suzhai Pavilion and paid a lot of money. If he lost his life because of this, he would not rest in peace.
That old witch Hui Zhen was really evil. She harmed people and still had the cheek to take the money for it.
Mu Cong nodded in agreement. “You are right. Miss Liu also said that the more people who know about this, the better.”
Mu Cong was afraid. As long as this matter was not over, he could not sleep in peace.
Now that he had the Su family to protect his life, he was temporarily safe. The Su family could protect him for a while, but not forever. For him to be really safe, Hui Zhen had to die for sure.
Su Yanyu thought for a moment. “Call Li Wei and Cheng Yan over tomorrow. It doesn’t matter if others don’t know, but they have to know about it.”
Mu Cong nodded.
The next morning, the servants invited Li Wei and Cheng Yan over.
When Li Wei and Cheng Yan arrived at Marquis Mansion, they were a little surprised to see Mu Cong present there. It was rare for Su Yanyu to be so serious. They bowed to him first. “Greetings, Your Lordship.”
Su Yanyu waved his hand. “Take a seat.”
Li Wei and Cheng Yan sat down. Their eyes were fixed on Mu Cong. What was going on?
Su Yanyu said to Mu Cong, “Tell them.”
Mu Cong nodded and told Li Wei and Cheng Yan what had happened at Suzhai Pavilion that day. Li Wei and Cheng Yan were stunned. “Is… Is this true?”
They could not remember anything at all. Moreover, they had eaten all the food sent to them from Suzhai Pavilion over the past few days.
Mu Cong said with a serious expression, “Why would I joke about something like this? Not only did you not remember, but Lord Su also didn’t remember. I was the one who told him. Think about it, if it’s not true, why did I look so distressed that day?”
The corner of Li Wei’s mouth twitched. That night, Mu Cong was indeed a bit abnormal.
Su Yanyu looked at them and said, “In short, are you in or not?”
Su Yanyu was not a fool. He narrowed his eyes and sized up Li Wei and Cheng Yan. If Mu Cong wanted to live, he would naturally follow him, but Li Wei and Cheng Yan might not come through.
He smiled. “It’s fine if you don’t want to. I’m not forcing anyone. I’ll just pretend I never knew you.”
Su Yanyu was still smiling, but it made people feel oppressed.
Mu Cong looked at Li Wei and Cheng Yan, not sure what they would choose.
Speaking of which, they were all the same. They wanted to suck up to Su Yanyu and get benefits from him. However, if they couldn’t get benefits, what was the point of sucking up to him?
Su Yanyu might die if he went against Hui Zhen, but he was not dead yet. If they did not make the right choice, they would offend him.
If Su Yanyu hated them, he would make their lives miserable. He was not a kind person.
Li Wei and Cheng Yan felt that it was too difficult to make up their minds. They tried to please Su Yanyu and suck up to him for the sake of their own good, but how far would they be willing to go?
As long as Su Yanyu survived this time, they would be his trusted aides.
Mu Cong had clearly picked his side.
The two of them pondered carefully. Su Yanyu did not rush them and let them think.
Li Wei looked at Su Yanyu and said, “Needless to say, of course I’ll follow you. I’m just a little afraid. Hui Zhen is powerful. Are we her match?”
Cheng Yan also said, “Hui Zhen is too despicable. What kind of person is she? Why is her heart so black? But speaking of which, she’s a little scary.”
The thought of their memories being erased made them shiver with fright.
Seeing that they were all willing to follow him, Su Yanyu smiled and said, “What’s there to be afraid of? I have Miss Liu on my side. Hui Zhen is dead for sure. However, this matter is a little tricky. It’s my birthday in a few days. At that time, I’ll hold a banquet at Suzhai Pavilion. Call more people over, but don’t tell anyone about this.”
Su Yanyu had already thought about what to do when the time came.
Li Wei and Cheng Yan nodded in agreement. “Don’t worry. Leave it to us. The banquet will definitely be lively.”
Su Yanyu nodded. “Yes, it has to be lively. The more noise, the better.”
No one knew how powerful Hui Zhen’s ability to erase memories was, but as long as there were enough people, her power would eventually run out. This was a sure win!
Li Wei and Cheng Yan left the Marquis Mansion.
Marquis Su had spent a lot of money to book a banquet at Suzhai Pavilion.
Hui Zhen did not think too much about it. She also needed power now.
Hui Zhen breathed in and out while Min Yu waited on her. Hui Zhen opened her eyes. “Mu Cong hasn’t come out since he went to the Marquis Mansion?”
