Chapter 1034 Qiu Mu-Cheng''s Predicament
"Miss Qiu, I''m sorry. I''m just doing my job."
Shock had Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian frozen to the spot. They had not yet recovered from what the
mayor had just said.
With his hands behind his back, Wu Wei-Tao simply sneered, then barked out an order. "Seal the
ce!"
A few of his men stepped forward and stered a huge seal on the mansion''s door.
The mansion was now confiscated property.
"Haha! What did I tell you, Miss Qiu? Justice is meant to keep the weak down. Laws and rules apply
only to the powerless. But I''m powerful and above thew. News of you being chased out of your
mansion will spread all over Jiangdong tomorrow. Everyone will know that the era of Mufan Group has
Jiangdong will be mine!" Lu Ming-Feng''sughter cut through the low roar of the evening wind.
Atop Mount Yunding, trees shook violently and leaves rustled and were ripped from their branches.
Qiu Mu-Cheng''s face paled when she heard Lu Ming-Feng''s smug words.
She whirled around, stared at Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua, then turned her eyes towards Wu Wei-
Tao and his men.
"You''re all in it together, aren''t you?" she whispered.
She would be an idiot if she still couldn''t see what was going on.
Wu Wei-Tao did not reply her question. He simply smiled politely. "Miss Qiu, Mr Chu is dead. His time
has passed. You should move on."
His mild tone carried a hint ofughter and mockery.
It was clear that Wu Wei-Tao still remembered how Ye Fan had spurned the mayor''s attempts at
gaining his favor.
Wu Wei-Tao had done everything in his power to ingratiate himself with Ye Fan and had even gone to
the extent of disregarding his status and paying a personal visit to Ye Fan''s residence.
But Ye Fan had ignored him entirely and humiliated Wu Wei-Tao with his utter disinterest.
How the tides have turned!

Ye Fan''s time had passed and Wu Wei-Tao had seized the opportunity to exact revenge for the
humiliation that Ye Fan had inflicted upon him.
As the saying went, when the mighty fell, the mob would fall upon him too.
That seemed like an apt description for what was going on right now.
Wu Wei-Tao had pledged his allegiance to Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua. There was nobody who
could help Qiu Mu-Cheng now.
A pale-looking Qiu Mu-Cheng stared at the mansion that had be confiscated property. She
stumbled as her knees gave way and nearly copsed onto the ground.
"Mu-Cheng, are you alright? You''re scaring me. Mu-Cheng?" The bloodless look on Qiu Mu-Cheng''s
face terrified Su Qian.
She raced towards her friend and held her upright.
Nothing could be worse than losing everything. Su Qian was worried that Qiu Mu-Cheng wouldn''t be
able to survive the devastation of her repeated losses.
"Come on, Mu-Cheng, let''s go. We''ll get the house back sooner orter. We''ll file charges against them
tomorrow and appeal to the provincial courts if the city courts reject our ims. But we need to make
sure that you''re alright before we take the fight to them."
Su Qian knew very well that they weren''t going to get the house back.
But there was nothing she could do about it. All she could do was bring Qiu Mu-Cheng away with her.
Just as they were about to leave, Xur Shao-Hua, who had been standing silently at one corner,
suddenly stepped forward and stood in their path.
"You have the house. Isn''t that enough? Get out of our way," yelled Su Qian furiously at the man.
Xur Shao-Hua paid her no attention. His eyes fell on Qiu Mu-Cheng''s bloodless face instead.
"I feel a strange kinship with Miss Qiu. It''s a beautiful evening. Would you be so kind as to have a few
drinks with me? We could spend the evening gazing at the stars," Xur Shao-Hua said with a softugh
and a devilish curl to his lips.
His eyes were filled with a perverse hunger.
"Haha! What a rare sight! Shao-Hua, this is the first time in many years that I''ve seen you invite ady
for drinks," said Lu Ming-Feng surprisedly before Qiu Mu-Cheng could respond to Xur Shao-Hua''s
invitation. It was as if he had just seen pigs fly.
Xur Shao-Hua rarely showed any interest in women.
In an attempt to cheer Xur Shao-Hua up, Lu Ming-Feng had invited ten beautiful social media
influencers from a certain online tform to one of his champagne parties to drink with Xur Shao-Hua.
His friend had been utterly uninterested in those women.
But here he was, inviting Qiu Mu-Cheng to join him for the evening. This was an unprecedented event.
"Haha! Miss Qiu, you should count yourself lucky for winning my friend''s favor. He''s the favored son in
the Xur family and the person who''s going to take over as the head of the family. You should seize this
opportunity. Who knows? You might end up as a lucky wife in one of the most powerful families in
Yanjing," said Lu Ming-Feng as he tried to persuade Qiu Mu-
Cheng to consider his friend as a potential romantic interest.
"You''re all scoundrels, the whole lot of you! Mu-Cheng''s not going to drink with you. You can dream
on!" cursed Su Qian furiously upon hearing those lewd words spewing from the man''s mouth.
Lu Ming-Feng''s face darkened instantly.
With a wave of his hand, he beckoned one of his guards over. The burly man pped Su Qian hard on
the face and sent her sprawling onto the ground.
Su Qian cried out in pain. Blood began to drip from her mouth.
"You should keep your mouth shut before I throw you off this mountain," said Lu Ming-Feng
threateningly. His words were heavy with the promise of violence.
Su Qian fell silent immediately. Tears wet her cheek as she trembled in silent terror.
"Miss Qiu, this way, please," said Lu Ming-Feng with a cold smile. His voice was hard. It was clear that
he wasn''t going to take no for an answer.
Qiu Mu-Cheng ignored him entirely and instead, helped Su Qian up and began to head down the
mountain.
His men marched towards Qiu Mu-Cheng immediately.
It appeared that they intended to take Qiu Mu-Cheng by force.
"Let go of me! Let me go!" Qiu Mu-Cheng struggled desperately but to no avail.
There was no way a woman like her could escape from the hands of Lu Ming-Feng''s burly guards.
The men were going to drag Qiu Mu-Cheng off when a sudden voice rang out.
"Release her! How dare you put your hands on the Dragon Master''s wife!”
The mansion''s windows and doors blew up. New ch?pter av?ble o? Draмаnоvеls.cоm
The door that had been sealed shattered into numerous pieces.
Qing Tan appeared amidst the flying sawdust and splinters.
But before his men could get any closer to Qing Tan, she had sent them flying with a flurry of kicks.
The huge burly man was thrown backward from the force of her kick andnded
heavily on Wu Wei-Tao.
He gasped aloud and spat blood squarely in Wu Wei-Tao''s face.
"What the hell?"
