The wedding banquet of He Yunsong and Oumengqi was lively at the Phoenix Grand Hotel. The attendees were either friends and family of He Yunsong or relatives and friends of O Sheng, all celebrating the union of the newlyweds. Almost everyone was drinking heavily.
As the groom, He Yunsong naturally found himself being pressured to drink. One cup after another, even with his good tolerance, he had to plead for mercy. As the excitement waned, no one pressed him further, returning to their seats to continue drinking with others.
The group known as the Undead Celestial Executioner had no interest in attending such a wedding banquet, so they did not show up. However, members of the Torture Soul group enjoyed mingling, and nearly all core members led by Tui were present. Mo Ming was concerned that they might cause trouble if they got drunk, so he arranged for them to sit together.
Of course, given Mo Ming's intimidating presence, there was little worry about them causing a scene at He Yunsong's wedding; this was merely a precaution. After all, alcohol can lead to reckless behavior.
Mo Ming sat with Murong Lian and several other women alongside He Yunsong. Everyone present was among He Yunsong's closest friends, including O Sheng. O Sheng had heard much about Mo Ming and had long wanted to meet the person who had transformed Nanhua City. Upon meeting him today, O Sheng seized the opportunity to engage Mo Ming in conversation while drinking, discussing trivial matters.
Mo Ming displayed considerable patience with O Sheng's incessant questions. Even though they had never interacted before, out of respect for He Yunsong being his father-in-law, Mo Ming felt obliged to treat him with courtesy.
"Mo Ming, I've heard about the auction in Nanhua City a few days ago. You acquired that piece of land for one hundred fifty billion. Are you planning to build a residential area or an Entertainment City?" O Sheng said, slightly tipsy and with a flushed face.
Upon hearing this, Mo Ming immediately understood that O Sheng was not an ordinary person. Their earlier casual conversation aimed to build rapport; now this question revealed his true intentions.
From his inquiry, it seemed O Sheng hoped to leverage his connection through He Yunsong to gain some benefits from the land in the West District. As a businessman, O Sheng was always thinking about where to obtain profits.
"I don't intend to use that land in Nanhua City for profit," Mo Ming replied calmly. "After all, money is just a number; there's no need to compete with it daily. The price I paid was merely to create a home. I've wandered for too long; it's time I found a dock to settle down."
Mo Ming expressed his feelings in a serene tone while glancing at the three beautiful women beside him, happiness radiating from his face as if his eyes were smiling.
Feeling Mo Ming's affectionate gaze, the three women blushed instantly, feeling both joy and shyness as they secretly stole glances at him and fell silent.
"Haha, boss, your sweet words have made the sisters blush!" He Yunsong laughed heartily.
Everyone laughed along with He Yunsong, while O Sheng subtly furrowed his brow. His plan to invest in the land in West District was completely dashed. Who would have thought that Mo Ming's grand purchase of such a large plot of land was just to build a home?
"I thought you were planning to develop your career in Nanhua City. I didn't expect you to settle down here. When the house is built, you must invite me over as a guest! With such a large piece of land, it will surely look like a park once it's built."
O Sheng was relieved that he hadn't mentioned the investment earlier, as it seemed Mo Ming had no intention of making money from this venture. If he had brought it up, he would have been embarrassed.
From this incident, O Sheng became more convinced of the rumors; this young man before him was not someone to be underestimated. Setting aside where all that wealth came from, just looking at his carefree spending, there were very few people in the world who could compare.
"Of course! Once the house is built, I will definitely invite everyone to come and visit. If you like it, feel free to stay; after all, there will be plenty of housing on that land in West District in the future," Mo Ming said sincerely.
Some of those present were not his relatives or friends, but since He Yunsong was like a brother to him, these people naturally had some connection to him. In the future, with many houses being built in West District, letting them stay would only add vitality to the area—what's not to like?
"Great! If I like it, I won't hesitate to move in. After all, I'm close to retirement; living there would be perfect for enjoying my later years. Mo Ming, don't be upset about it!" O Sheng was the first to express his intention to move in. However, he was just joking; he wasn't really close enough to Mo Ming to take advantage of that offer.
"Boss, don't forget what you said at the church—leave a house for me and Oumengqi! I'm serious; if we live close by when we're old, we can play chess together or something," He Yunsong said earnestly.
Mo Ming nodded and replied, "Of course! Once the house is built, I'll definitely save one for you. If you like it, come and stay. Of course, if Oumengqi doesn't want to live with us, she can always come over for a while."
"Of course I want to live there long-term!" He Yunsong said as he pulled Oumengqi into his arms. "When you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; when you marry a dog, follow the dog. If you marry a monkey who runs around the mountains, she won't object, right Oumengqi?"
Oumengqi rolled her eyes at He Yunsong and got out of his embrace. "Sure, if you want to stay there, go ahead; I don't mind. But are you a chicken, a dog, or a monkey?"
"Neither! I'm a person—your husband!" He Yunsong smiled.
At that moment, a young man hurriedly walked over. Mo Ming immediately recognized him as Qi Miao, the one who had been injured by Wild Horse. After recovering, Qi Miao had left the hospital, and Mo Ming had no idea where he went. He never expected to encounter him here today.
"Yun Song!" Qi Miao strode over and called out, then immediately leaned in to whisper something in He Yunsong's ear.
Mo Ming couldn't hear what Qi Miao said, but he noticed He Yunsong's expression shift from happiness to worry. Curious, Mo Ming asked, "Ah Yun, what's going on? You look like something's wrong."
"Hey, aren't you that person from the bar?" Qi Miao heard Mo Ming's voice and felt it was somewhat familiar. Looking over, he confirmed it was indeed the person he met at the bar that night and couldn't help but ask.
Mo Ming smiled and nodded. "That's me. You're Qi Miao, right? You disappeared without a word after you recovered that day. I had someone look for you but didn't get any news. I never expected you to be back working under Ah Yun."
"So you're saying that the person who took me to the hospital after I passed out that night was you? I'm really grateful. If it weren't for your help, I might have been killed by Bear Dog and his gang."
Qi Miao wasn't foolish; from Mo Ming's words, he realized that the one who saved him was also the one who saved himself. Remembering later hearing about Bear Dog's death and seeing Mo Ming sitting at the same table as He Yunsong, calling him Ah Yun, he could roughly guess who had killed Bear Dog.
"Hehe, no need to be polite. That night I heard you nearly lost your life for Ah Yun. I couldn't just stand by and watch you die. Besides, I feel like we have a connection," Mo Ming said with great fondness for Qi Miao. The fact that he risked his life for He Yunsong made Mo Ming value him even more.
Qi Miao furrowed his brow in confusion. "A connection?"
"You are Qi Miao, and I am Mo Ming; together we sound like 'mysterious'—don't you think that's a connection?" Mo Ming laughed heartily, his words almost loud enough for everyone nearby to hear, prompting laughter from the crowd.
Murong Lian laughed so hard she might cramp up; she teased, "I thought only male actors had strange names in this world. I never expected someone would match with you—what a big world with all kinds of wonders!"
Jun Qianqian and Lin Yuan'er were a bit more considerate; even if they found it funny, they only chuckled lightly instead of being as exaggerated as Murong Lian. They were used to bantering with Mo Ming and often found ways to tease him.
Mo Ming rolled his eyes dramatically and said, "Lian Lian, be serious! Who makes fun of their husband’s name in public like this? Besides, I don’t think my name is strange at all; at least it's much better sounding than Yang Wei!"
"Alright, alright, I'll try to give you some face in the future." Murong Lian barely held back a laugh.
Qi Miao scratched his head and said, "Mo Ming, you're my idol! I've heard your name for a long time. You single-handedly fought against a hundred people and escaped from Sito Hai. What I admire the most is that Sito Hai's death was probably caused by you, right?"
"Come on, come on, don't talk nonsense in public. I can't afford to be charged with murder!" Mo Ming chided. Although he had killed quite a few people, he didn't want to publicly admit it and attract trouble.
"Uh, uh, I was just rambling," Qi Miao said, scratching his head in embarrassment. He knew such topics shouldn't be mentioned casually, but seeing his idol made him a bit too excited and he lost his rationality.
Mo Ming recalled what had just happened and immediately asked He Yunsong, "Ah Yun, I noticed something was off with your expression earlier. Did something troublesome happen?"
"It really is a headache," He Yunsong replied with a bitter smile and nodded. "I don't understand what Hong Gang is thinking. They actually chose my wedding day to send someone over. They probably want to give me a warning."
Hearing that Hong Gang had sent someone over, Mo Ming frowned. Sending someone at this time was clearly looking for trouble. He didn't understand how they planned to do it, but since they dared to come, it would be interesting to see who would give whom a warning today.
Today was He Yunsong's big day; even if the King of Heaven came looking for trouble, Mo Ming wouldn't back down!
"Where are the people from Hong Gang now? I want to see what kind of storm they intend to stir up!" A glint of killing intent flashed in Mo Ming's eyes as an indistinct aura of menace surged within him.
