"Since Zhuge Sheng is a straightforward person who doesn't like beating around the bush, I'll get straight to the point. I invited Zhuge Sheng here today to discuss a potential collaboration with the Little Green Society!"
Mo Ming's eyes sparkled with intensity as he fixed his gaze on Zhuge Sheng. Every move Zhuge Sheng made was under his watchful eye; as long as there was even a hint of malice from Zhuge Sheng, he would know his intentions.
However, it seemed that Zhuge Sheng had already anticipated Mo Ming's purpose. Unfazed and without a trace of surprise, he laughed heartily, saying, "Little brother Mo Ming, today is not April Fool's Day; you don't need to joke with me like this."
"Heh heh, Zhuge Sheng, let's speak plainly. Does my expression look like I'm joking?" Mo Ming smirked slightly and turned to Yang Fan, asking, "Boss Yang, did you find my earlier comments amusing?"
At that moment, Mo Ming had somehow shifted the focus onto himself. Yang Fan cursed inwardly but remained silent, a faint smile on his lips as he shook his head.
In this atmosphere charged with tension, Yang Fan knew how to protect himself. This way, neither side would be offended, and he could sit back as an outsider.
Zhuge Sheng's laughter faded as his expression turned serious. His eyes glinted with menace as he coldly regarded Mo Ming. "I never expected someone so young to have such big ambitions!"
"Young people have lofty aspirations; how could they lack a bit of ambition?" Mo Ming did not deny it and smiled. "Wasn't Zhuge Sheng also filled with grand aspirations in the past? My current mindset is just like yours back then; I want to carve out a place for myself here!"
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Sheng's hostility intensified. If they weren't outside the control of the Little Green Society at that moment, he might have exploded in anger.
"I remember when I first asked you about this place; you clearly told me you had no interest in Nanhua City. Yet now you invite me out to discuss collaboration—are you trying to fool me?" Zhuge Sheng raised his voice. "Do you think I'm easy to deceive?"
His words acted like a fuse igniting the powder keg in the room, creating an exceptionally tense atmosphere filled with palpable hostility. Although it was invisible, He Yunsong and Yang Fan could almost see it; both wore expressions of shock and anxiety.
Despite the tension, He Yunsong was already preparing for contingencies. If today's collaboration fell through and Zhuge Sheng harbored murderous intent against them, they would have to strike first and eliminate Zhuge Sheng to prevent future troubles.
What puzzled him was Yang Fan's stance. If Yang Fan sided with him, then Zhuge Sheng would be in dire straits—like an aging lion stripped of its claws and teeth, posing little threat. But if Yang Fan dared to obstruct him, then both would have to be dealt with; there could be no letting the tiger return to the mountain!
Zhuge Sheng and Mo Ming both wore calm expressions, showing no signs of emotional fluctuation. Their gazes locked tightly, as if sparks were colliding between them, filled with a heavy sense of murderous intent.
Mo Ming maintained his composure, a nonchalant smile lingering at the corner of his mouth as he said, "Zhuge Sheng, you misunderstand. With my position as the leader of the Little Green Society, how could I dare to deceive you?"
After a pause, observing Zhuge Sheng's tense face, Mo Ming continued with a smile, "Please rest assured, I have no intention of taking food from the tiger's mouth. The purpose of inviting you today is simply to discuss our potential for mutual cooperation."
"Nanhua City is already dominated by my organization alone; where is the talk of cooperation?" Zhuge Sheng retorted. "What you call cooperation is merely an attempt to lower our guard so you can establish your foothold. Hmph, the interests of the Little Green Society cannot be compromised; do not bring up cooperation again!"
"Zhuge Sheng, what I propose in terms of cooperation will absolutely not harm the interests of the Little Green Society. The territory will still be managed by the Little Green Society; I only hope that at certain times, this local tyrant can lend me a hand."
"Hmph, what audacity! Why should I cooperate with you?" Zhuge Sheng scoffed coldly. "The Little Green Society has been entrenched in Nanhua City for many years, with vast resources. We have never feared anyone! If everyone were like you, immediately seeking cooperation and wanting the Little Green Society to work hard for you, wouldn't that be too much? Mo Ming, considering Seventh Master’s face, I can pretend I didn’t hear today’s conversation."
Zhuge Sheng was clearly too angry to hold back any longer. He suddenly stood up, raising an eyebrow and said, "Given that the situation has developed to this point, we have nothing more to discuss. I won’t stay for this meal! However, Mo Ming, I still want to remind you of something."
"Please go ahead, Zhuge Sheng. I'm listening," Mo Ming replied nonchalantly, smiling slightly and gesturing for Zhuge Sheng to continue.
"I don’t care about your background; the Little Green Society has firmly established itself in Nanhua City. I advise you not to touch this hot potato! Let’s not discuss cooperation anymore. If you wish to declare war on the Little Green Society forcefully, feel free to come at me; I will accompany you to the end!" Zhuge Sheng's eyes glinted with ferocity as he waved his hand and headed towards the door. "Afan, let’s go!"
"Alright," Yang Fan responded briskly. He glanced at Mo Ming and then at He Yunsong, pondering something before rising to follow Zhuge Sheng.
"Leader, please wait a moment!" He Yunsong suddenly stood up and called out to stop Zhuge Sheng. At that moment, his face was icy and his eyes were filled with hidden threats.
He understood this old fox Zhuge Sheng all too well; if he was an enemy, he would never let them off easily. If they left today, he would surely not spare him or Mo Ming. At that time, not only would he be in danger but those around him might also be threatened—especially Oumengqi. He did not want her to suffer any harm; therefore, He Yunsong did not want to make the mistake of letting a tiger return to its mountain!
"Yun Song, do you have anything else to say?" Zhuge Sheng turned around, his gaze icy as he looked at He Yunsong. "I know you were kept in the dark about today's events. Considering you were unaware, I won't pursue this matter further today. However, I hope there won't be a next time. Come with me."
Unaware? He Yunsong couldn't help but laugh at those words. Zhuge Sheng, such an old fox, was deeply cunning; how could he not know that He Yunsong and Mo Ming were in cahoots? It was clear to anyone that Zhuge Sheng's statement was merely a tactic to prevent He Yunsong from feeling cornered and taking desperate measures against him here.
As long as he could leave this place alive, He Yunsong would undoubtedly be the first to suffer, followed by Mo Ming and everyone close to him. The principle of cutting the grass to remove the roots was something a gang leader like him would certainly understand!
Hearing He Yunsong's sudden laughter, Zhuge Sheng frowned and asked, "Ah Yun, what are you laughing at?"
"Heh heh, leader, I've been by your side for so many years; I know how deep your schemes run. You don't need to play dumb about today's events. I know you can see that I'm aware and involved! Moreover, I know with your personality, if you can sacrifice someone like Sito Hai, who else can't you sacrifice?" He Yunsong laughed heartily. "I've already anticipated today's situation. If I let you go back, I will inevitably fall into your pursuit. To save my life, I can only strike first!"
As soon as He Yunsong finished speaking, Yang Fan immediately positioned himself protectively in front of Zhuge Sheng, his eyes scanning the surroundings. "Leader, I'll hold them off while you escape!"
However, Zhuge Sheng remained motionless, his eyes narrowing into a dangerous arc as he glanced at He Yunsong. "Ah Yun, Sito has long harbored ill intentions toward me and has done many things against my wishes in secret. But you're different; I've always treated you well. Sigh, you're a talented individual. I had intended to pass the position of the next leader to you, but unexpectedly, you've conspired with outsiders against me."
Mo Ming sat quietly without saying a word, fiddling with his phone.
"Enough! You don't need to say these things to fool me. You've always been one who demands absolute authority; anyone who dares to obstruct you must die!" He Yunsong sneered. "Today, I cannot allow you to leave alive!"
"Hmph, do you really think I came unprepared?" Knowing that He Yunsong's killing intent was resolute and that further words were pointless, Zhuge Sheng chose not to elaborate further but showed no signs of worry as he pushed Yang Fan aside. "No need to panic; they wouldn't dare lay a hand on me!"
He Yunsong's expression darkened significantly as he furrowed his brow. "Are you trying to pull a fast one?"
"Pull a fast one? If you truly believe that, then feel free to kill me right now. Hmph! Do you think I can't guess the reason for today's meeting?" Zhuge Sheng laughed maniacally. "Experience is still king; you're all too inexperienced. Let me tell you this: if I don't make it out alive today, then Nanhua will have no place for any of you!"
"Clap, clap..."
A round of applause echoed in the room, and everyone turned in surprise toward the source of the sound. There stood Mo Ming, smiling and clapping, showing no concern for Zhuge Sheng's words.
"Truly worthy of being the leader of the Little Green Society in Nanhua City, you are indeed strategic and courageous. I admire you, kid!" Mo Ming's smile suddenly turned into a mischievous grin as he continued, "However, as the saying goes, 'the higher the road, the stronger the devil.' What you call preparation is merely instructing your trusted aide Wang Li. If you can't return, you'll just bring people to hunt us down."
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Sheng's expression changed slightly in shock. Wang Li was a pawn he had placed for many years, holding the power to mobilize the entire Little Green Society. Moreover, he had cultivated an elite team over many years. Only he knew of Wang Li's existence; even Sito Hai was unaware. Yet Mo Ming had spoken Wang Li's name, which left him astonished.
"Heh heh, no need to be surprised. Do you want to see Wang Li's current situation?" Mo Ming noticed the surprise in Zhuge Sheng's eyes and took out his phone to play a video, then handed it to Zhuge Sheng.
In the video lay a severely injured person on the ground, barely breathing and completely still. Zhuge Sheng recognized him at once; it was his trusted aide Wang Li. His face turned even more horrified.
Wang Li being captured meant that even if he died here today, no one would know who was behind it all. At that point, He Yunsong could step forward as one of the three major powers and easily become the spokesperson for the Little Green Society!
"You've won. Speak up; now that things have come to this point, what do you really want to do?" Zhuge Sheng chose to compromise. He was now at an absolute disadvantage; if Mo Ming decided to kill him, no one would know.
Mo Ming revealed a slight smile and said, "Zhuge Sheng, I'm not someone who seeks total annihilation. As long as you're willing to cooperate with me, we won't interfere with each other. You will still be the leader of the Little Green Society while I remain myself. Whenever I need help from the Little Green Society, all I ask is that you lend a hand."
