The comic book competition held by the magazine was coming to an end, and the comic book that Mu Xiaoyu was currently serializing was also released on the day Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu returned to China. So the next day, the editor-in-chief made a special call to Mu Xiaoyu to inform her of her recent schedule.
Mu Xiaoyu's comic has now been published, and the magazine is constantly promoting it, taking advantage of the competition and recent news. Originally, there were no plans to hold a book signing event, but Mu Xiaoyu's comic was so popular that the original print run of 30,000 copies sold out in just over a day.
They are still printing extra copies. In order to make Mu Xiaoyu's name even more famous and for the benefit of all parties, the magazine has decided to hold a book signing event.
The autograph session was conveniently scheduled for the day after the competition ended. By then, with several buzzes swirling around, it would be impossible for Mu Xiaoyu not to become a sensation.
Mu Xiaoyu's primary goal is to draw comics and reach a wider audience, so she had no objections to the magazine's arrangements. Furthermore, hearing about the booming sales of her comics made her very happy. Therefore, after the magazine president called to discuss the schedule, Mu Xiaoyu agreed almost without hesitation.
"Are you about to get busy?"
The two were having breakfast at the moment, and Li Chenxu naturally overheard Mu Xiaoyu's conversation with the club president. Seeing Mu Xiaoyu hang up the phone, he immediately asked...
Hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu nodded happily. Thinking about how many people liked her book, she couldn't contain her joy: "The president said my book sold very well, so he decided to hold a book signing after the competition. I've never had this experience before, and I don't know if I'll be nervous..."
Despite saying that, Mu Xiaoyu didn't feel nervous at all; on the contrary, she was increasingly looking forward to the autograph session. In fact, those who know Mu Xiaoyu know that she is the kind of person who becomes stronger when faced with adversity. The higher she stands, the stronger she becomes. The word "timid" has never appeared in her life.
Li Chenxu deeply loves Mu Xiaoyu, and he knows her personality very well. So when he heard Mu Xiaoyu's words, Li Chenxu immediately raised an eyebrow and said, "Nervous? I don't think that word fits you. Of course... you are very nervous at that time."
The time Li Chenxu was referring to was obvious. Since the two returned to China, Li Chenxu seemed like a different person. He still doted on Mu Xiaoyu as before, but verbally he always liked to 'tease' her.
Every time he sees Mu Xiaoyu's face turn red with nervousness, he bursts into a gleeful laugh, which is incredibly cunning.
Mu Xiaoyu knew that Li Chenxu was doing it on purpose, but she just couldn't do anything about it.
After all... Li Chenxu has a unique charm when he gets cunning.
After having breakfast, Li Chenxu went straight to the company. The culprit behind the car accident was still under investigation. Although Mu Xiaoyu hadn't been told explicitly, she knew from the displeased look on Li Chenxu's face when Assistant Lin reported to him that the matter was probably not progressing smoothly.
In addition, the car accident had delayed a lot of Li Chenxu's business, so Li Chenxu had too much to do after returning to the country. After leaving the villa, he went straight to the company.
Actually, there was something Li Chenxu didn't tell Mu Xiaoyu: there had been some progress in the matter of the car accident.
However, since this involves Mu Xiaoyu... fearing it might cause Mu Xiaoyu further harm, Li Chenxu has been keeping it from Mu Xiaoyu.
"Sir, our people have already investigated and confirmed that the person inside did indeed die when your wife went abroad. Moreover, the police have said that DNA testing has confirmed it is him."
As soon as Li Chenxu sat down in his office, Assistant Lin came over and gave him a serious report. His expression was not good. Having worked for Li Chenxu for so many years, the fact that he could show such an expression was enough to show that this matter was not a small thing.
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu did not speak immediately, and it was unclear what he was thinking. He simply stared intently at a certain spot in the office for a while before suddenly letting out a cold laugh and saying with a somewhat unpredictable expression, "Is it really you? Then tell me, what's going on here!"
As he spoke, Li Chenxu opened the drawer of his desk, took out a stack of photos, and threw them directly at Assistant Lin. With a thud, the thick stack of photos landed on the floor.
Following Assistant Lin's gaze, one could see that the person in the photo had a face remarkably similar to Mu Pengzheng's. However, it was only similar; upon closer inspection, the resemblance to Mu Pengzheng was still quite striking.
The person in the photo was with one of the most famous wealthy widows in the capital.
Upon seeing these photos, Assistant Lin became even more silent. He stared at the photos for a long while before finally speaking, "We are already investigating the people in the photos, but they are extremely wary, and we don't have any leads yet."
“I’ve given you almost a month, and this is all you’ve found out so far. Assistant Lin, what am I paying you guys for?!”
Li Chenxu was already furious. In fact, he rarely got angry when he was in office, and he treated his subordinates quite well. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't have followed him so devotedly.
But this time, the matter involves Mu Xiaoyu's safety. If the investigation is not completed quickly, what if another car accident like the last one occurs?
Assistant Lin knew why Li Chenxu was angry, but their abilities were ultimately limited, and the widow had a lot of connections in the political arena. Although they also had people on their side, the Liangfang people were evenly matched, so it was not easy to investigate these matters quickly.
Hearing Li Chenxu's reprimand, Assistant Lin dared not speak up and simply kept his head down, continuing Li Chenxu's scolding.
After Li Chenxu finished speaking, he realized he was wrong. He rubbed his temples wearily, then waved to his assistant Lin and said, "Alright, you can go now. Get this done as soon as possible. If you encounter any trouble, tell me immediately. Don't delay at all. Also, keep an eye on the two people in the photo and try to get their DNA."
