Chapter 1180: You are in no position to blame yourself.

“If that were so, I’d never forgive you even if you were to apologize a thousand or even ten thousand times!”
Mu Yazhe was taken aback. He had never expected such words to leave his son’s mouth.
In his eyes, Youyou had reached a stage of maturity where he was steady, wise, and far-sighted.
Still, he did not think that the boy had already reached such a high level of maturity.
He was blanked out but could still hear a chuckle from him.
“You are not a deity, though.”
“…”
“You can’t tell the future and predict all these to happen! You couldn’t have saved mommy and older brother from the deep waters and scorching fire the moment they happened. You couldn’t, and neither could I! What right, then, do I have to accuse and blame you for this? You are in no position to blame yourself, either!”
He paused for a moment before continuing with darkened eyes. “That’s why there’s no need to apologize!”
The man smiled in relief, uncontrollably giving his cheek a pinch.
His son grabbed his hand all of a sudden, a glint of quick wit flashing across his beautiful eyes.
“Still, daddy, there’s something I wanna ask you about.”
“Yes?”
“Do you have any suspects?”
Mu Yazhe squinted his eyes.
“Do you have any suspect on who has had mommy and brother kidnapped? In your heart, you likely have a few in mind, haven’t you?”
“Yes, I do.” He admitted this after a moment’s silence.
“Can you guess what their motive is for doing this?”
He leveled his gaze on Youyou. Carrying him, he walked slowly toward the window.
Disheng Tower was a majestic skyscraper.
The CEO’s office was on its top floor. Standing in front of the office’s French window and looking through it, one could not help but feel a sense of superiority and arrogance!
He felt just like an ancient emperor standing atop the highest city’s gate tower and looking down at the masses from above!
It also let one have a taste of exactly how lonely it was at the top.
He squinted his eyes and revealed slowly, “What they want is the Mu empire that I have in my hands!”
“I’ve guessed as much, too.”
Youyou smiled. “Daddy, you have the most shares in the Mu Group. Naturally, some people can’t sit still anymore, afraid that they’ll never get their hands on those if they don’t take action now! They must’ve been eyeing your shares for a long time, and that’s their reason for doing this.”
The man smiled in gratification. “You are so smart!”
It was no wonder that he was his son!
Unfortunately, the boy failed to smile back.
It was exactly as he suspected. The ones behind this had seized his mother and older brother as bargaining chips for his daddy’s shares in the Mu Group!
The Mu Group’s shares!
How enticing were they!
Whoever could get their hands on his father’s shares would have control over this organization and would be this whole Mu empire’s owner. Meaning, that person would become shockingly powerful!
Internally, the Mu family was complex and tricky. Members of it constantly rose and fell, and the in-fighting was endless. They fought and schemed against one another incessantly. It was just like in ancient times, where brothers from royal families fought and killed one another to get hold of the imperial power.
Some relationships weaken in the face of gaining personal benefits.
Selfishness was a bad trait that many people had.
Moreover, being born into a wealthy and powerful family meant that one was constantly compelled by circumstances.
Youyou suddenly turned his gaze on to his father’s face before he calmly asked, “If that’s so, what will you do if that person threatens you to hand over your shares in the Mu Group?”
This question was extremely sharp.
He went straight to the point by asking this bluntly, not allowing him to avoid it in any way.
He desperately wanted to know his daddy’s answer.
He had no doubts regarding his mother’s importance in this man’s heart.
