“Old Commander, what is going on?” asked Mu Yuan.
Mu Jianxin frowned. “It’s none of your business. Go upstairs!”
His voice was charged with authority, but at this moment, Mu Yuan did not want to listen to him. The old commander said, “Since the young master is back, then let’s hear it out together. General, you better follow us to accept the investigation. It’s good for all parties involved.”
“I have said that I was not the one who revealed this matter.”
“The information was indeed leaked by the Mu Family. Hence, you must cooperate with our investigation.”
Mu Yuan listened in a puzzled manner. His father was being investigated? Whose investigation? Who would dare to? The Mu Family was considered to have a lot of authority in the nation, be it Mu Jianxin or Mu Jianshou.
Who would dare to come right up to their doorsteps in the middle of the night, heavily armed, and force his father to accept the investigation?
This was simply too ridiculous.
“Father, What’s going on?”
Mu Jianshou glanced at his nephew worriedly. It seemed accusatory yet helpless at the same time. “During the shipment of Ye Tingyun’s previous batch of machine tools, they were stolen by the Americans. We did not manage to bring them back and suffered heavy losses. Your father was responsible for this operation, and the information was also leaked from his side. Hence, the superiors dispatched men to investigate this case.”
Mu Yuan’s head hurt. This batch of machinery was the result of the hard work of all technicians involved, as well as costing the nation tens of billions of dollars. How could it be stolen away just like that?
“This is a charge of treason,” said the old commander. “As a precaution, this incident will only be known by you and me only. Since this incident happened, I cannot get rid of the suspicions placed on me as well. So, we will receive the investigation together and monitor each other.”
“Wait a moment. My father will never do something like leaking information.” Mu Yuan regained his senses. “Old commander, there must be a misunderstanding.”
“We will know if there are any misunderstandings after the investigation.”
Mu Yuan suddenly remembered Jack from tonight. The location where he appeared was too coincidental. “Old commander, when did this happen?”
“Just now,” said the old commander. “An hour ago.”
A pail of icy water was poured over him. Jack had said that he would have left much earlier if he was not held back by something. Indeed, he did not have such a long holiday either. However, he stayed for a long time. Judging from his capabilities, even if Ye Ling sent him any messages in recent days, he would still visit him. But he never came once.
“Father, how was the information leaked?” asked Mu Yuan.
Mu Jianxin did not speak. His expression was dark, and he glanced towards him in an obscure manner. The old commander was thoughtful. “General, I’ll give you ten minutes to bid farewell to your child.”
The old commander left the living room. Mu Jianxin suddenly stood up and slapped Mu Yuan, causing his cheek to become swollen. Mu Jianxin dropped the steady composure he maintained in front of the old commander and spoke harshly while trying hard to suppress his voice. “This is all your doing. You invited the wolf into the room!”
Mu Jianxin threw his phone at him. Mu Yuan’s eyes were blurry, and he could not see the phone screen clearly. What happened to his phone? He unlocked it and looked at his phone interface, discovering an application. He did not know when it had been installed, and he had never paid any attention to it.
Mu Yuan lifted his head and looked at Mu Jianxin, confused.
Mu Jianshou said, “The security system of our house is directly linked to the military compound. Outsiders can not copy anything when they come over with communicators, but your mobile phone software destroyed our system and remotely copied all the information in our compound over. This includes the code name, route, personnel, and rationing of this operation.”
