Chapter 473: Traitor?

As the lead actress of this drama, Qin Muran should have gotten more attention. However, the situation was just the opposite. The main character seemed okay, but her acting skills were not good enough to support this crowd-pleasing character. It just made the audience dislike her.

Even if she participated in the promotion, her popularity did not rise. So, when "Garden of Youth" finished airing, everyone else’s popularity and number of fans went up, but her popularity didn’t change at all.

"Crack!"

In the Qin villa, Qin Muran had wreaked havoc in her room. The sound of shattering glass and splintering wood echoed in the room, mirroring the chaos within her. She clenched her fists and with a swift, powerful motion, she knocked over a table, sending books, papers, and personal belongings crashing to the floor.

Her anger was a tempest, and she continued to lash out, overturning chairs, tearing down posters, and hurling objects against the walls. Her room, once a sanctuary, had transformed into a battleground of shattered remnants. Each broken item was a symbol of the frustration and despair she felt.

Outside Qin Muran’s room, Lu Yaran’s heart ached as she heard the tumultuous sounds of destruction emanating from within. She couldn’t bear to see her child in such a state of distress. Concern and fear gripped her, pushing her to take immediate action.

"Muran!" she shouted, her voice trembling with worry, as she pounded on the door, "Open the door, baby. Please, let me in!"

Hearing Lu Yaran’s voice and exhausting herself in the fit of rage, tears streamed down Qin Muran’s face. The room now lay in disarray, a reflection of the emotional turmoil that had consumed her. As the adrenaline of her outburst subsided, Qin Muran sank to her knees amid the wreckage, sobbing uncontrollably.

Qin Muran’s sobbing voice felt as if someone had squeezed her heart to Lu Yaran. She shouted anxiously, "Muran, don’t scare mommy. Please open the door."

Inside the room, Qin Muran’s sobbing ceased momentarily as she heard her mother’s desperate plea. Her hands, stained with tears and frustration, trembled as she struggled to reach for the doorknob.

With a shaky breath, Qin Muran managed to turn the doorknob, and the door slowly creaked open. She stood there, her eyes swollen from crying, her room in shambles, feeling vulnerable and exposed.

Lu Yaran rushed in, her motherly instincts taking over. She wrapped her arms around her daughter, pulling her close in a tight and comforting embrace. Tears welled up in her eyes as she saw her beloved daughter’s condition.

Qin Muran let go of her mother after sometime and her eyes flashed with intense hatred, "It’s all because of that... that bitch, Jiang Xun!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with resentment. "She stole the spotlight, and now everyone’s trashing me. I hate her for what she’s done."

Lu Yaran, her heart heavy with the pain she could see in her daughter’s eyes, held Qin Muran closer. She did not say anything and let Qin Muran vent her frustration out.

Qin Muran clenched her fists, her determination growing stronger. "I want Jiang Xun out of the entertainment industry," she declared. "I want her to feel the pain she’s caused me. I won’t rest until she’s gone."

She then turned to Lu Yaran, "Mom, I want her to rot in hell. I want Jiang Xun out of the industry."

Seeing her daughter in such a restless state, even Lu Yaran’s heart was filled with hatred towards Jiang Xun. She nodded in agreement with Qin Muran’s words, "Muran, don’t worry. Mom will make sure that Jiang Xun could never return back to the industry after we strike her."

Both Qin Muran and Lu Yaran felt that Jiang Xun was the reason that Qin Muran was ridiculed so much on the internet. They did not think that even if Jiang Xun’s acting skills were great, if Qin Muran also had decent acting skills, she would not fade in comparison as she was the female lead.

They did not recognize their own mistakes and pushed the blame on to Jiang Xun. And since both mother and daughter believed that Jiang Xun was the cause of their misery, they had made up their mind to eliminate her.

When Qin Muran and Lu Yaran were thinking of making trouble for Jiang Xun, Qin Mufeng found himself in trouble instead.

In a small forest on the campus of Imperial University, a man and a woman seemed to be discussing something.

"No, I can’t do that!" A man’s voice sounded, "This company is built on his technology. Without him, there wouldn’t be the company we have now."

The woman’s voice was soft and seductive as she asked in a low voice, "Yinglong, do you like me?"

Yinglong’s face immediately turned red. Before he could answer, the woman said confidently, "You must like me, right? Because I’ve noticed that every time I appear in front of you, your eyes light up. I know that it’s a look of admiration."

Yinglong, "..." His thoughts were exposed. His eyes were filled with shame and a hint of anticipation.

The woman looked at Yinglong and said seductively, "I promise you. As long as you chase Qin Mufeng out of your company, I’ll be your girlfriend, okay?"

Yinglong’s eyes immediately lit up but then dimmed again. He shook his head vigorously and refused, "No, I can’t do that. If I do that, I’ll become a traitor and be scolded by others."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, his lips touched a layer of softness. The woman had kissed him directly. It was this softness that made him feel like he had eaten a poppy. He was intoxicated and deeply immersed in it.

A moment later, the woman let go of his lips and asked with a bewitching smile, "Yinglong, do you believe me this time? Don’t worry. As long as this matter succeeds, we can do more than kissing."

At this moment, the man could no longer resist the temptation. He softly replied, "Alright!"

An emergency meeting was being held within Teng Fei Tech Company. The shareholders and higher-ups attended the meeting, including Qin Mufeng and his three initial partners. At this moment, everyone’s expressions were a little serious.

Someone immediately questioned sharply, "Qin Mufeng, you’ve always been in charge of technology development. Why is it that our latest technology is now being patented by our competition, Li Fei Tech? Aren’t you going to give us an explanation?"

With that, he tossed the information in front of Qin Mufeng.

Qin Mufeng flipped through the information. It was all about the content of the new technology that he had recently developed, but Li Fei technology company had patented it first and published the relevant information to the public. Qin Mufeng pursed his lips tightly and frowned. Then, a ruthless light flashed in his eyes.

Before he could speak, another partner sharply questioned, "Qin Mufeng, have you betrayed us? Did you sell all the new technology to our competitor for the money?"

"That has to be it." Someone added, "After all, you can claim all the money for yourself if you do this. Instead of having to share it with the rest of us."

"Qin Mufeng, when the company was founded, you didn’t pay a single cent, but you became a major shareholder. But now, as a major shareholder, you betrayed the company for such a small benefit. Is your conscience gone?"

Faced with the criticism of his partners, Qin Mufeng flipped through the information in his hands. His face became darker and darker. Then, he slammed the information together and said calmly and loudly, "I didn’t sell the technology."

"How is this possible?" The three partners said in disbelief, "You’re the only one who has access to them. If you didn’t sell them, then who did? Who else has the ability to obtain these technologies from your hands?"

Lu Chengfu harshly rebuked, "Qin Mufeng, you are in charge of the company’s technology. So, regardless of whether this new technology was sold by you or not, you have a responsibility that cannot be shirked. Moreover, you are the only person who knows how to handle these new technologies. So, who can the traitor be but you?"

"Qin Mufeng, what else do you have to say?" Pei Lang shouted and questioned.

Fang Yinglong advised with some good intentions, "Mufeng, tell us, do you have any difficulties? If you need some emergency funds, you can tell us. There’s no need to do this."

Qin Mufeng looked at each of them coldly. They did not even investigate but instead, put these groundless accusations on him. What good partners they were.

Qin Mufeng closed these documents and revealed a cold smile. He said, "It sounds like you’ve already convicted me of this crime in your mind."

He looked at his partners with an ambiguous smile. Seeing his expression, the three partners were slightly shocked.

Then, Fang Yinglong immediately shook his head and said, "Mufeng, that’s not what we mean. However, it’s true that only you can access these new technologies. Other than you, who can the traitor be?"
