The next day, Mo Ming arrived at the company and called Wu Zhenning up to the rooftop.
"What do you need to talk about that can't be said in the office?" Wu Zhenning asked, a bit puzzled.
Mo Ming took a cigarette out of his pocket and offered it to Wu Zhenning, who declined. Mo Ming then put it in his own mouth, lit it, and exhaled smoke, saying, "Wu Zhenning, I think you're a good person with a relatively pure heart. It's just that sometimes, you accidentally take the wrong path."
Hearing Mo Ming's words, Wu Zhenning felt confused and furrowed his brow, asking, "Mo Ming, why did you call me up here to say these strange things?"
"Recently, there have been issues with an insider at the company. I thought you would know the most about it," Mo Ming said as he exhaled another puff of smoke while looking at Wu Zhenning.
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Wu Zhenning's face. He quickly shook his head and pretended to be clueless, saying, "I don't understand what you mean."
"You are the insider," Mo Ming said calmly, his eyes showing no sign of emotion. However, Wu Zhenning was shocked inside; his gaze flickered as he tried hard to conceal his feelings and replied, "Mo Ming, what kind of joke is this? How could I possibly be the insider? Don't wrongfully accuse me."
Mo Ming sighed and shook his head with a bitter smile. "I wish it weren't you. The evidence is right in front of us. Even if I don't want it to be true, it doesn't change anything. Take a look at this document!" With that, Mo Ming pulled out a document from his jacket.
The content indicated that Wu Zhenning intended to steal information from Starry Rhythm Advertising Company for another party. The other party would reward him based on the importance of the information provided. If Wu Zhenning failed to provide any information within a month, he would have to pay a penalty of one million for breach of contract.
After reading the document, Wu Zhenning felt a chill in his heart. He collapsed to his knees before Mo Ming and pleaded, "Mo Ming, please spare me! I had no choice; my girlfriend Julie is seriously ill and needs fifty thousand for surgery! I had no other option but to do these things. I didn't really intend to betray Starry Melody."
"Get up," Mo Ming said as he helped Wu Zhenning to his feet. "Don't worry; I brought you up here for this reason. Wu Zhenning, you're talented and have a good heart. I don't want you to spend your life in detention. Plus, Julie still needs your care. So just escape to America for now. Rest assured, I'll take good care of your girlfriend. After some time, I'll send her over to be with you."
As he spoke, Mo Ming used a lighter to burn the document; the ashes scattered away with the wind, turning into dust.
"Why are you helping me?" Wu Zhenning asked with both shock and confusion in his eyes. "We've only known each other for less than a day; why would you help me?"
"Because you helped me yesterday, so I'm helping you today," Mo Ming replied plainly as he took out a piece of paper and a plane ticket from his pocket. "This is a ticket to Los Angeles in America. Once you get there, go find someone named Slim Bone at this address and tell him Gravedigger Mo Ming sent you. He will take care of everything for you."
Wu Zhenning took the plane ticket and paper with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Mo Ming. I'm really lucky to have met you; I hope we can become friends."
Mo Ming smiled broadly, showing his white teeth. "We are already friends now. Work hard when you get to America; once your girlfriend's health improves a bit, I'll send her over to see you."
"Alright, there are still three hours until your flight departs. You should go see Julie now but don't reveal too much information—just say you're going on a business trip! Good luck, Wu Zhenning." With that, Mo Ming left gracefully.
Wu Zhenning stood there stunned, tightly gripping the paper in his hand as he murmured, "Mo Ming, thank you so much."
Mo Ming leaned against the windowsill, holding a cigarette. Hearing a roar from the sky, he looked up to see an airplane flying by and thought, "Wu Zhenning, I hope you can carve out your future in America. I believe that as long as you have a stage, you will shine. Good luck."
Taking a deep drag from his cigarette, Mo Ming lightly exhaled the smoke, then extinguished it and tossed it accurately into the trash can.
Arriving at Murong Lian's office, Mo Ming knocked on the door. Without receiving permission, he opened the door and walked in.
Murong Lian seemed to be taking a short break, reclining in her chair with her head tilted back. Hearing the knock, she blinked sleepily and recognized the visitor.
"Have you handled everything regarding Wu Zhenning?"
Mo Ming nodded and said, "He should be on the plane now. I think you can hand over the materials to the Economic Crime Investigation Department."
"Alright, then I'll leave this matter to you," Murong Lian said as she took a file folder from her drawer and tossed it to Mo Ming. "This contains all the materials for their case review. Take it to the relevant department; I need to hold a press conference immediately."
"Got it, I'll go now," Mo Ming replied as he took the file folder and left promptly.
As soon as Mo Ming left, Murong Lian picked up the phone and called Han Xue. "Han Xue, immediately notify all major media outlets that I will hold a press conference to clarify the recent rumors circulating in public."
After hanging up, Murong Lian called Murong Wei. Once connected, she said, "Dad, Mo Ming has found evidence of their crimes. He has already handed over the materials to the relevant department. I think it's time for us to counterattack."
"Great," came Murong Wei's cold snort from the other end. "If they want to bring down my Murong Group through underhanded means, they should be prepared to face our wrath."
Meanwhile, the Economic Crime Investigation Department received an anonymous tip-off containing information that pointed directly to Cao's Real Estate, Xiahua Advertising Company, and Ye Group collaborating in illegal theft of data from the Murong Family.
Upon receiving this information, law enforcement immediately began their investigation.
Additionally, news spread that Cao's Real Estate, Xiahua Advertising Company, and Ye Group were engaging in illegal transactions and would face police scrutiny; thus, a significant drop in the stock market was anticipated.
On Murong Lian's side, she announced to major media outlets: "Recently there have been frequent rumors in the industry that Starry Rhythm Advertising Company and Murong Real Estate did not steal others' ideas or confidential documents. Instead, it was Cao's Real Estate, Xiahua Advertising Company, and Ye Group who collaborated to bribe employees of Starry Melody Company for theft. The Murong Family will take necessary legal actions against those companies."
High-level executives of Xiahua Advertising Company were already under investigation by Ji Yue due to last night's cybercrime incident. At the same time, executives from Cao Family and Ye Family were arrested just as they were about to leave the country. It could be said that Nanhua City was becoming increasingly lively.
This incident involved too many elements; the stock market was also in turmoil. The stock prices of Murong Family showed a consistent upward trend while those of Cao's Real Estate, Xiahua Advertising Company, and Ye Group saw massive sell-offs by shareholders, causing their stock prices to plummet.
During this time, the once glorious Triad now faces a significant downfall, and even if it survives, it will have to shed a layer of skin. Truly, it is changeable as clouds and dogs.
As the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad. Some people feel sorrowful about this matter, while others are delighted by the substantial profits they have gained.
Mo Ming is among the happy ones. Since handing over the information to the Economic Crime Investigation Department, he has not returned to Starry Melody Company but instead went back to Murong Wei's Hillside Mansion, where he began engaging in stock trading using his computer.
Knowing the ins and outs of the situation beforehand, Mo Ming used the ten million he had in his account to buy a large amount of Murong Clan's stocks, reaping considerable benefits. He truly played the role of a successful fisherman.
In this battle, the Murong Family achieved ultimate victory.
Now, all that remains is to wait for the investigation results from the Economic Crime Investigation Department. Regardless of the outcome, the three parties involved in the theft will suffer greatly, and many people took advantage of this opportunity to purchase large amounts of each other's shares, becoming leaders in their own right.
Inside Phoenix Grand Hotel.
"Mo Ming, I really have to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, my Murong Family wouldn't have won so beautifully," Murong Wei said, already drunk and not wanting to deal with anything else tonight—just drinking!
At a large round table sat only three people: Mo Ming, Murong Lian, and Murong Wei.
"Murong Old Man, can you not be so pretentious?" Mo Ming scoffed. "You've already said that at least four times tonight. Are you trying to make it your catchphrase?"
"Mo Ming, shut that mouth of yours," Murong Lian shot back at him. "My dad is already drunk."
"That's stating the obvious. Even a fool could tell that Murong Old Man is drunk. If I didn't know that, I'd rather just run into a wall," Mo Ming chuckled and took another sip. "Old man, why don't we call it a night? If you keep drinking like this, your head will probably explode tomorrow."
"I'm not drunk; I can still drink! Come on, Mo Ming, let's have another round," Murong Wei said with a flushed face, trying to maintain a serious demeanor as he raised his glass to toast Mo Ming again before gulping it down. With that kind of drinking style, it's no wonder he would get drunk; that's Bacardi, not beer.
Moreover, Murong Wei had already consumed three bottles; at this rate, it would be surprising if he didn't get drunk.
Fortunately, after finishing that glass, Murong Wei mumbled a few words before collapsing onto the table unconscious.
"See? This old man can't take it anymore," Mo Ming said with a smug smile. "How about it, Murong Lian? Want to join me for a few drinks?"
Murong Lian shot him an annoyed look and replied, "What more is there to drink? If you want to drink more, I'll join you another day. Today I'm here to drive you guys home. Now that my dad is in such a state, we should settle the bill and leave."
"How boring. I was hoping to get you drunk and do something naughty..." Mo Ming intended to tease Murong Lian, but to his surprise, Murong Lian's face turned bright red in an instant, whether from embarrassment or anger. He picked up his wine glass as if to throw it at Mo Ming, who quickly backtracked, saying, "Alright, I was just joking."
"If you dare to tease me again next time, I'll make sure to take away your manhood!" Murong Lian retorted angrily.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I need to keep my manhood intact for picking up girls," Mo Ming replied with a smile as he stood up. "I need to go to the restroom; I'm about to burst."
With that, Mo Ming walked out the door.
This time, Mo Ming was quite familiar with the layout and quickly found the restroom. After taking care of business, he exited the restroom.
Thud...
Ouch...
Once again, Mo Ming bumped into someone at this spot. However, this time he had just finished in the restroom and didn't have to hold back like last time, which was already an improvement.
The most terrifying coincidence is when something that has happened before occurs again.
