Chapter 384 Taking Meng Hexiang Away
Chapter 384 Taking Meng Hexiang Away
The Meng family's butler hurriedly entered the living room.
"Master, young master, madam, something terrible has happened! The Mo family has arrived with bodyguards, two police officers, and a group of people in uniform."
"See, Grandpa Meng, I told you, my daddy, mommy, and uncles are coming."
Chenchen's mouth curled up slightly.
"Chenchen baby, could you please help our old man for Size's sake and say that he brought you to our house to play with our Size?"
Shu Lin knew that if her grandfather was convicted of kidnapping Chenchen, the Meng Group's stock price would be severely affected.
In that case, not only will the Meng family's reputation be damaged, but her maternal family will also be implicated.
Even though the Meng family banking conglomerate wields considerable power in Country C, it cannot extricate itself unscathed.
She had no choice but to beg Chenchen.
"Honey, what nonsense are you talking about? Grandpa did something wrong, how can you let a baby lie?"
Meng Huaijue disagreed with his wife's statement.
"Honey, don't you know how this will affect our conglomerate?"
“I know, but we can’t lose our conscience. Grandpa made a mistake, and he should take responsibility.”
"Fortunately, there is still one person in the Meng family with sound values."
Chenchen chimed in.
"Husband, are you just going to stand by and watch the Meng Group's stock price plummet, the group fall into crisis, and the Meng family lose face because of this?"
Shulin wanted to persuade her further.
“I will handle these things. Even if what you say is true, we can’t go against our conscience and distort the truth, can we? You don’t need to worry about it, I will handle it.”
Meng Huaijue stood up, preparing to go out to greet the Mo family and the police.
“Daddy, I think you did the right thing. Great-Grandpa should take responsibility for his mistakes. Our Meng family cannot be ungrateful.”
Meng Size also agreed with his father's decision.
Meng Hexiang felt ashamed when he heard what his grandson and great-grandson said.
Before Meng Huaijue could even leave the living room, he saw Mo Tingye and Mu Qianqian enter with a group of people.
"Mr. Mo, Mrs. Mo, I'm so sorry. It's all because my grandfather loves my son so much that he misunderstood and did something to hurt your Chenchen. I'm so sorry!"
Meng Huaijue took the initiative to apologize.
"Chenchen, Chenchen, where is my son? What have you done to him? If my son is harmed in the slightest, our Mo family and your Meng family will fight to the death."
Mu Qianqian rushed into the living room, her emotions running high, searching for Chenchen.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Mo!"
Shu Lin also apologized.
As a fellow mother, she could empathize with Mu Qianqian.
When a son is kidnapped, any woman who is a mother will lose control of her emotions and worry.
"Mommy, I'm okay, I'm not hurt. They kidnapped me, but they didn't hurt me."
When Chenchen saw his dad and mom, his eyes welled up with tears.
He threw himself into Mu Qianqian's arms.
He pretended to be calm, but he was actually very scared inside.
"Baby, let Mommy see, are you really not hurt?"
Mu Qianqian hugged her son and examined his body.
"Mommy, I'm not hurt. I'm fine. Grandpa and the bodyguards didn't lay a hand on me. Uncle Meng and Si Ze protected me the whole time."
"It's good that it's not hurt."
Mu Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning her head, she saw Meng Hexiang, let go of her son, and walked over.
"The dignified patriarch of the Meng family, you are disrespectful to your elders, you don't distinguish right from wrong, you don't know how to be grateful, and you just kidnap my Mu Qianqian's child at will. You deserve to die!"
Mu Qianqian trembled all over as she slapped Old Master Meng across the face.
"Mrs. Mo, I'm so sorry!"
After recovering from the shock of being slapped, Old Master Meng apologized.
"Do you think a flimsy 'I'm sorry' can make up for the harm you've done to my child? He's so young, how could you be so heartless? Your Meng family's great-grandson is precious, but my Mo family's child isn't? How dare you?"
Mu Qianqian lost control of her emotions and started yelling at Old Master Meng.
Mo Tingye came up, put his arm around his wife, and comforted her.
"Old Master Meng, it's one thing for you to be ungrateful, but how dare you kidnap a child from the Mo family? If I hadn't saved Meng Size, your precious great-grandson would have died in the fishpond that day. You repay kindness with enmity and dare to mess with the Mo family? I will make you pay the price for hurting my son."
Mo Tingye was filled with coldness, his eyes were icy.
"Mr. Mo...I'm sorry!"
"I'm sorry for saying that. You should have said it to my son: Officer, Anmu, the kidnapper is right here. You can take him away!"
As soon as Mo Tingye finished speaking, Jin Anmu led Yu Zun and the others, along with two police officers, upstairs.
A police officer flashed his badge.
"Meng Hexiang, you are suspected of a kidnapping case. Please come with us."
"Old Master Meng, my nephew Jin Anmu is not someone you can kidnap at will. Since you disregard the Meng Group, then we will investigate the Meng Group's illicit income over the years."
A ruthless glint appeared on Jin Anmu's face.
"Officers, I admit that I was confused and kidnapped the great-grandson of the Mo family. I'm sorry! But this was my personal act, and I am willing to accept the punishment of the law. However, this matter has nothing to do with the Meng family conglomerate. I hope you will not touch the Meng family conglomerate."
Knowing he was in the wrong, Meng Hexiang had no choice but to admit it.
"We'll decide what to do with the Meng Group. Come with us!"
Yu Zun came up and pressed a gun against Meng Hexiang's forehead.
Meng Hexiang trembled all over.
He hadn't expected that Chenchen and the Mo family's background could be so powerful that they could use guns.
Meng Huaijue walked up to Yu Zun and bowed.
"Sir, my grandfather did something wrong, and our Meng family will give an explanation. But my grandfather is old and in poor health. Could you please not point a gun at him?"
Yu Zun put away his gun.
"Mrs. Mo, Mr. Mo, Mr. Jin, I am willing to offer 20% of the Meng Group's shares to compensate Chenchen for the harm she suffered. Is that alright?"
"Our Mo family, the Mo Group, is not short of money. Mr. Meng, are you suggesting that you use your conglomerate's shares to offset your grandfather's crimes?"
A hint of coldness flashed in Mu Qianqian's eyes.
“Mrs. Mo, you misunderstand. That’s not what I meant. My grandfather committed a crime and he should be punished by law. I’m giving you shares firstly to thank Mr. Mo for saving my son Size’s life, and secondly as compensation for my grandfather hurting Chenchen.”
"We don't need..."
Before Mu Qianqian could finish speaking, Chenchen covered her mouth.
"Mommy, let's accept Uncle Meng's compensation, okay? I was frightened and hurt, I deserve it."
He winked at his mother.
It means that this money can be used for charity to help children in impoverished mountainous areas.
Mu Qianqian understood.
She nodded.
"Meng Hexiang, come with us!"
The two police officers, along with Jin Anmu and his group, left with Meng Hexiang.
Meng Huaijue breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Chenchen had accepted the compensation.
