Three days later, at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Mu Chen's brows were tightly furrowed as he glanced at the woman standing beside him. The woman was in her early twenties. She had an especially cute youthful face and there was a smile on the corner of her lips. She was the type that was extremely attractive.
But she would only give him a headache.
After Bai Su signed her name, she stopped at the mate section and looked at Mu Chen with an embarrassed smile. "I'm sorry, I forgot your name."
Mu Chen stared at her unhappily. Before he could flare up, the staff at the side was shocked.
They were here to get married. How could she not know her husband's name?
Could he have been cheated into marriage? But he was handsome, tall, and well-dressed. He exuded a noble aura.
She also wanted to be cheated into marriage!
Mu Chen snorted. Bai Su must have done it on purpose.
Who in City A didn't know about him, Mu Chen? The Mu Group he controlled was involved in finance, mobile payment, real estate, entertainment, and other aspects. It was definitely the leading company in City A. His personal photo had also appeared on the cover pages of various magazines many times. The number of ladies and socialites who wanted to marry him could line up from the streets to the ends of the alleys.
How could Bai Su not know? Furthermore, she had deliberately gotten close to him for her shady purpose.
Mu Chen snatched the pen from Bai Su's hand and wrote his name down.
Then, they took photos, stamped, and registered their marriage. Everything was done step by step.
Just as they left the Civil Affairs Bureau, Bai Su asked Mu Chen, "When can we get a divorce?"
"Grandma's condition is very unstable now. The doctor said that she can only live for a month." Mu Chen let out a sigh. He was the one who was forced to get married. How could she have the nerve to ask for divorce first?
Last month, she accidentally saved an old lady who had gotten into a car accident. Although the old lady was sent to the hospital and survived, she was also diagnosed with advanced lung cancer and would die not long after. The old lady's only wish was to see her grandson get married. She even took a liking to Bai Su and asked her to be her granddaughter-in-law.
When Bai Su found Mu Chen, she wanted to discuss if there were any other methods. But who knew that the other party would just decide to marry her and even give her a condition that she couldn't refuse?
"You said before that a fake marriage would definitely give you away and be discovered by your grandma. We're already married now and we've collected our marriage certificates. Please fulfill your previous promise and transfer a million to my bank card."
Mu Chen snorted. She was indeed scheming and had ulterior motives.
Although a million was nothing to him, when he thought of how she saved his grandmother for money, but kept her in the dark and forced him to marry her, Mu Chen felt extremely upset. He had grown up with his grandmother. If it wasn't for his beloved grandmother, how could he be manipulated by such a woman?!
Bai Su let out a sigh. Seeing that Mu Chen was slightly absent-minded, she extended her hand and waved it in front of him.
"Of course I want Grandma to live a long life, but we have a fake marriage after all. It will eventually come to an end. Aren't you very powerful? I hope you can use your abilities to eliminate the traces of us ever getting married. When I marry in the future, I don't want people to think it's my second marriage."
Mu Chen gnashed his teeth in hatred.
"Don't worry, I want to eliminate traces of this matter more than you do."
"Then it's settled." Bai Su smiled and waved her hand at Mu Chen. "It's getting late. I'll go back first. Remember to send the money over quickly."
She was indeed only thinking about money.
"So, you saved my grandma for money?" Mu Chen looked at Bai Su's back as she left and his voice was as cold as ice.
Bai Su stopped in her tracks with a hesitant expression. Why would he think that?
But since she couldn't explain it in a few words, she couldn't be bothered to explain it to Mu Chen.
She waved her hand dismissively.
"If you think that, so be it."
Mu Chen was extremely angry and sat in the car dejectedly. Liu Qiang, who was driving, turned around and glanced at him. He thought to himself that Young Master Gu seemed to be in a very bad mood today.
"How's the investigation going?"
"Young Master Mu, there's some progress in the matter. The people who attacked you that day were people from the Hua Corporation. They had a direct conflict of interest with us. We also went to the scene to take a look. There were very unusual signs of fighting there. Moreover, it was said that the few people sent by the Hua Corporation were all seriously injured and hospitalized. It seemed like something happened after that, so they didn't continue to pursue you."
"Huh?" Mu Chen raised his brows. He never thought that there would be such a turn of events. "Go and investigate again. You must find out why those people were heavily injured and who did it."
He didn't believe in coincidences. That person wouldn't have coincidentally appeared at that time.
"Okay." Liu Qiang nodded.
"This is Bai Su's information. You asked me to check it thoroughly before. I found out that she was brought back by the orphanage's director when she was very young and had been raised in the orphanage. She is a fourth year university student with outstanding grades. She is still a student, but has already joined Professor Guan's team. She was the only undergraduate…"
With a cold expression, Mu Chen listened quietly and kindly reminded Liu Qiang, "This is not what I want to hear."
Liu Qiang hesitated.
"Miss Bai's resume has a three-year gap. No matter what, I can't find any clues."
An amused look appeared on Mu Chen's face as he nodded his head with interest.
"That's what I want to know."
