Speaking of this matter, it must start with a piece of history from Mu Lingshan's family.
In Mu Lingshan's grandfather's generation, there were three brothers in total. The eldest, Mu Chongwen, who was Mu Lingshan's biological grandfather, was a very upright and honest old man. The second, Mu Chongwu, had a temper similar to the eldest brother, but with a more fiery personality. Only the youngest, Mu Chongyi, was someone who had been shrewd and ambitious since childhood.
The eldest and the second brother led uneventful lives as ordinary factory workers, while the youngest brother maneuvered his way into politics. With his intellect and ruthlessness, combined with a bit of luck, he rose steadily through the ranks.
