"Ha ha, I'm giving you a chance to live. If you dare to deceive me, the consequences will be severe. If you don't believe me, you can try," Mo Ming said.
The Scarred Man nodded eagerly, fearing he might offend Mo Ming. "Big Brother, just ask away. If I know anything, I won't hide it from you. Please let me off this time; I truly realize my mistake and won't dare to come here for protection money again."
"Relax, I'm a civilized person and won't hit you randomly," Mo Ming smiled and said. "I know you didn't come here for protection money. Now tell me, who is the mastermind behind this matter?"
"No, no, no! It was indeed my fault for not recognizing the situation. Recently, I've been tight on money and got bold. I heard there were people filming promotional clips here, so we came over hoping to make some easy money," the Scarred Man quickly shook his head in panic.
"That's not the answer I wanted. It seems you don't value your life much. No worries, I'll help jog your memory. I'll give you a little more time to think about it, and I hope you'll provide me with the correct answer."
Mo Ming grinned menacingly as he repeatedly patted the Scarred Man's back with considerable force, causing the Scarred Man to tremble. Looking at his face, it had turned pale, his eyes filled with fear.
The terrifying power Mo Ming had just displayed had completely instilled a sense of dread in him. He was worried that any movement might provoke Mo Ming; receiving a few slaps would be one thing, but if Mo Ming wanted him dead, it could happen in an instant.
"It seems you're still unable to remember. Since that's the case, I don't have time to waste with you anymore. You can go to another world and start over," Mo Ming said with a smile as he shook his head. He swiftly grabbed the Scarred Man by the neck; since the Scarred Man was shorter than Mo Ming, he easily lifted him up.
This scene shocked everyone present—not only were they astonished by Mo Ming's ruthlessness but also by his strength. On the surface, the Scarred Man appeared to be larger and heavier than Mo Ming.
However, it seemed effortless for Mo Ming to lift the Scarred Man as if he were a dog. This illogical scenario was unbelievable; some even thought they were seeing things and pinched themselves hard—it hurt; this wasn't a dream!
"Who is this young man? He's terrifying! How can he lift an adult man who looks heavier than himself so easily? It's unbelievable! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it even if you killed me," Su Xiuwen said in disbelief as she shook her head lightly.
Even Lin Yuan'er, who thought she knew Mo Ming well, found it incredible and was shocked. She thought to herself, "Brother Mo, you've been gone for so many years; what have you experienced? Why is everything you do now so astonishing?"
Meanwhile, the Scarred Man struggled desperately after being lifted like a puppy by Mo Ming but found it utterly ineffective. His scarred face turned red from holding his breath; he felt like he was about to suffocate.
"I'll tell you... I'll say anything... please let... me down..."
"Ha ha, so it's only when you're short of oxygen that you start remembering things. Sorry for making you suffer; I'm a civilized person. What I did just now was only to help jog your memory... Oh, sorry! I forgot to let you down."
Mo Ming chuckled and immediately released his grip. Without Mo Ming's support, the Scarred Man fell to the ground with a thud, landing squarely on his backside.
"Alright, you can tell me now, who sent you to cause trouble? Tell me, and I'll spare your life." Mo Ming's lips curled into a sinister smile as he lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then blew out a perfect circle of smoke.
After the earlier lesson, the Scarred Man had become much more compliant. He dared not hide anything from Mo Ming, his expression filled with fear as he hurriedly said, "It was Yang Yuan from Ultimate Electronics Company who sent me to stir up trouble. He told me that as long as I could disrupt the filming process, I would receive five hundred thousand as a reward. I’m such an idiot; I shouldn’t have come here for that money. Please, spare me."
"That's quite an unexpected answer, Yang Yuan?" Mo Ming raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "You keep insisting that Yang Yuan is behind this. Did he tell you why he wanted you to do this?"
"I don't know. Young Master Yang didn't say anything; he just ordered me to do it." The Scarred Man was afraid Mo Ming wouldn't believe him, so he added, "I swear I'm not lying. It was Yang who instructed me. He told me that if I disrupted the filming process, I could ask Liu Hu for money."
"Now call Yang Yuan and tell him the job is done," Mo Ming said flatly.
The Scarred Man was a bit confused by Mo Ming's meaning and shook his head with a frown. "Big brother, what do you mean? I haven't completed the task yet. Wouldn't that just be playing with Young Master Yang? He said if I messed this up, he'd have my life!"
"Just do as I say. Why are you wasting time with questions? Hurry up, or should I lift you up again to see what happens?"
"No, no, no! I'll call right now."
"When you make the call, put it on speaker so I can hear what he says."
Better to die later than sooner; at worst, after the call, he could hide out of town for a while. Even if Yang Yuan wanted to find him later, it wouldn't be easy. For now, he just needed to survive in front of this ruthless man.
After weighing his options repeatedly, the Scarred Man didn’t hesitate any longer. He picked up his phone and dialed Liu Hu's number. After several rings, it finally connected.
"Scarred Man, have you completed what Young Master Yang instructed?"
The Scarred Man glanced at Mo Ming and saw him make a throat-cutting gesture that nearly scared him out of his wits. He quickly nodded and said, "It's done! You can rest assured; I've destroyed their filming equipment. I’m sure it will hinder their progress."
"You idiot! Didn't Young Master Yang say that you were supposed to collect protection fees? He didn't tell you to smash their equipment! You're really hopeless; I shouldn't have partnered with you in the first place."
Hearing Liu Hu's words made the Scarred Man even angrier. You shouldn't have partnered with me? Well, I shouldn't have agreed to work with you either! Look at where we are now; it's all your fault!
"Enough is enough. Young Master Yang is very dissatisfied with what you have done. Therefore, the amount has been reduced from five hundred thousand to two hundred thousand. After you take the money, get lost immediately and don't show up in Nanhua City again. Otherwise, your whole family will be finished."
Mo Ming took the phone and said with a smile, "Grandson, you really have a big mouth. Your grandfather is listening. I wonder what tricks your Young Master Yang is planning? Can you tell me? Maybe I can help you out."
"..." The person on the other end fell silent upon hearing Mo Ming's words.
Then, the signal was cut off.
"Heh heh, Little Knife, the matter is settled. You can take your people and leave." Mo Ming's voice was cold as he added, "I told you to get lost. Remember, it's get lost, and you'd better do it far away before I change my mind!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm leaving right now," Scarred Man replied, not daring to defy Mo Ming's will. He lay on the ground and rolled away until he reached the entrance, not daring to get up.
The remaining lackeys followed suit, with Rogue Monkey suffering the most. His arm was injured, yet he had to roll out like this; it was pure torture. However, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Once everything was settled, Mo Ming didn't feel much relief. Thinking about the mastermind behind this incident—Yang Yuan—he felt both curious and puzzled. With the filming process delayed, what could Yang Yuan gain from this?
Was it just for the breach of contract fee?
Clearly, it wasn't that simple. After all, as a wealthy heir of Ultimate Electronics Company, he wouldn't be short of that kind of money. Moreover, Yang Yuan liked Murong Lian; logically speaking, he wouldn't make things difficult for Starry Rhythm Advertising Company.
This made it hard to grasp his motives. Mo Ming thought for a while but couldn't figure it out and decided to stop thinking about it since the matter had already been resolved. Yang Yuan's schemes were no longer needed.
At that moment, Lin Yuan'er came over and linked her arm with Mo Ming's, smiling as she said, "Brother Mo is amazing! You're handsome and skilled. I'm so proud to have you as my husband."
"Stop saying those things; you're making me shy," Mo Ming replied with a wry smile. "Though it's true, let's keep it down in front of others."
"Why should we care what outsiders think? Anyway, Brother Mo is capable."
Lin Yuan'er giggled and pulled Mo Ming toward Su Xiuwen's direction while apologizing, "Miss Su, I'm sorry for what happened today; I hope it didn't scare you too much. On behalf of Starry Rhythm Advertising Company, I apologize and hope this won't affect our cooperation."
"Director Lin, you can rest assured. I have a long-standing friendship with your company's President Mu; we were high school classmates, and I still want to help her out." Su Xiuwen shook her head with a charming smile and looked at Mo Ming, saying, "Moreover, nothing happened today, and I got to watch a real action movie for free, so it's not a loss."
"So Miss Su and Sister Lian are old classmates. No wonder you took the time out of your busy schedule to help. I really appreciate it," Lin Yuan'er said with a smile. "Miss Su, this is my husband, Mo Ming. Isn't he great?"
"..." Lin Yuan'er’s self-praise left Mo Ming somewhat speechless.
"Indeed, he is great. Director Lin, you have a good eye to find such a wonderful man. Congratulations," Su Xiuwen nodded and then remembered Murong Lian, asking, "By the way, where is President Mu? We haven't seen her around."
"President Mu was too tired from work, so she went abroad for a vacation," Mo Ming explained quickly. "But Miss Su, you don't need to worry. Before President Mu went on her trip, she specifically instructed us to take good care of you."
"Oh, traveling is nice; it can help relax the mind," Su Xiuwen nodded and said. "Mo Ming, since President Mu asked you to take good care of me, my safety is in your hands."
"Rest assured, Miss Su will be absolutely safe under my watch. You can focus on your filming," Mo Ming replied with a gentle smile.
It was truly unprecedented for him to show such elegance; Lin Yuan'er was taken aback.
"Alright then, we've already delayed for half the morning; let's consider it a break and start filming now." Su Xiuwen immediately entered work mode and said before looking at Mo Ming. "I'll get to work now."
