After the topic was discussed, Huang Zifeng temporarily left; he needed to return to the headquarters of Dragon Group.
The existence of a mole within Dragon Group weighed heavily on his mind. As long as the mole remained, Dragon Group faced the danger of internal strife.
Huang Zifeng thought about many things, from Long Batian's acquisition of Arms to Luo Qianshan's betrayal. Each incident felt like an invisible net tightening around him, indicating that beneath the calm surface of Huaxia, turbulent currents were stirring.
Upon learning about Luo Qianshan, Mo Zhentian immediately called the busy Leader, who was preoccupied with state affairs.
"Old Mo, what's up? You haven't called me for a game in a long time," Leader asked with a smile once the call connected.
"With all the national matters you have to deal with, I wouldn't dare disturb your work. I'm calling this time because there's something very important I need to discuss with you," Mo Zhentian replied.
"Oh? From your tone, it sounds quite significant. Go ahead, what is it?" Leader, who had known Mo Zhentian for many years, sensed the seriousness of the situation just from his tone. He immediately became serious.
"I have new insights into why my reckless son’s operation failed last time," Mo Zhentian said.
"That was quite some time ago. Your boy is talented; he's been doing well since leaving the military and is still investigating that incident from years ago?" Leader sighed deeply.
In his view, Mo Ming was indeed talented. Whether in his performance in the military or his actions after retirement, Leader had always kept an eye on him and chose to turn a blind eye as long as Mo Ming did not engage in anything harmful to Huaxia.
"He hasn't forgotten that incident at all. What he's been doing in recent years has been aimed at dealing with that mysterious organization. Yesterday he brought me information about the person who betrayed us back then, and I think it's necessary to discuss it with you."
"That person lurking within our ranks is not simple."
Leader was a smart man; upon hearing Mo Zhentian's words, he seemed to have a suspect in mind but hoped he was wrong.
"Indeed, it's not easy. I can't make decisions on my own, so I planned to discuss it with you," Mo Zhentian sighed heavily.
He continued, "That person is Luo Qianshan!"
"Luo Qianshan! Old Mo, are you really sure it's Old Luo?" The Leader was quite shocked.
"If it weren't for the solid evidence, I wouldn't want it to be him either, but that's how it is; I have no choice but to believe it."
"This matter is indeed a bit troublesome. Old Luo has some power in his hands. If he is involved, we can't act recklessly; otherwise, things will get chaotic in Huaxia. Here's what we'll do: I'll cancel all my appointments tomorrow. You bring the evidence over for me to take a look, and we can discuss how to deal with him. This is too significant; it's best not to alert others. If we startle the snake in the grass, it could be disastrous."
The Leader considered this carefully. With someone as high-ranking as Luo Qianshan having a stain on his record, there were surely other traitors within their ranks. If they caught wind of this, Luo Qianshan might act out of desperation.
"I understand. Tomorrow I'll bring my little troublemaker and Zifeng to Zhongnanhai," Mo Zhentian said.
"Mo Ming is coming too? It seems he's not very confident in our ability to handle this," the Leader laughed.
"That little troublemaker has his own issues. He won't be at ease until he sees how Luo Qianshan meets his end," Mo Zhentian sighed.
"Alright then, bring him along."
At that moment, while Mo Zhentian was on the phone with the Leader, Mo Ming was nearby taking a walk with Murong Lian, Lin Yuan'er, and Jun Qianqian.
They sat down at a pavilion beside an artificial lake. Lin Yuan'er sat to Mo Ming's left and took his arm, saying, "Brother Mo, you seem to have lost weight."
"Isn't it because of you guys causing trouble?" Mo Ming rolled his eyes.
"What trouble did we cause you?" Murong Lian immediately responded unhappily.
"You all take turns calling me, and every time I hear your voices, I miss you even more. Just thinking about you makes my heart race, and that impulse leads to other thoughts. But I can't just find another beautiful woman to solve it, can I? So, I've been exercising with the Fifth Lady every day; how could I not lose weight?" Mo Ming said without a hint of embarrassment.
However, upon hearing this, the three women felt their hearts racing and their faces turning red. Women don't have the thick skin that Mo Ming, the rogue, has. How could they not feel shy after hearing such shameless words?
"Oh my, that's so embarrassing! Can't you say something serious?" Jun Qianqian shot a resentful glance at Mo Ming.
"Hmph, daring to tease us? I see you haven't learned your lesson in a while; are you tired of living? Yuan'er, Qianqian, let's team up and teach this rogue a lesson," Murong Lian said with a cold snort as she reached out to grab Mo Ming's arm.
Mo Ming immediately realized what Murong Lian intended to do. Just as he was about to get up to dodge, Lin Yuan'er and Jun Qianqian tightly held onto his arms, preventing him from moving.
"Hmph, now will you obediently accept your punishment?" Murong Lian said triumphantly, her delicate hands pinching Mo Ming's arm without holding back.
"It hurts! It really hurts! Beautiful ladies, spare me! I know I was wrong..." Mo Ming grimaced in pain and pleaded for mercy.
"Don't even think about it! This time, I'm going to make sure you remember your lesson; otherwise, how will we deal with you in the future?" Murong Lian increased her grip, showing no signs of letting go.
Lin Yuan'er watched with concern and said, "Sister Lian, that's enough. I think Brother Mo already knows he was wrong."
"Yeah, it's enough now," Jun Qianqian also pleaded for Mo Ming.
"Alright then. Since Yuan'er and Qianqian are speaking up for you, I'll let you off this time," Murong Lian said as she released Mo Ming and clapped her hands.
"Hehe. It's still Yuan'er and Qianqian who care about me. Murong Lian, can't you be a little gentler with your husband? Are you planning to murder your own husband?" Mo Ming shot a fierce glare at Murong Lian.
"You need to be punished early for someone like you; otherwise, you'll become uncontrollable," Murong Lian replied dismissively.
"Having too many women is troublesome; now you're all teaming up against me. How about tonight? Why don't you all take turns fighting me?" Mo Ming said with a mischievous grin.
"Qianqian, Yuan'er, listen to me. I told you not to be too good to him; he needs to be punished. It's only been a short while, and he's started again! Three people serving you? Don't even think about it!" Murong Lian glared at Mo Ming with resentment.
"Qianqian, Yuan, what do you think? Do you want me to run to three different rooms in one night? I don't mind being tired, but if I disturb the old man, that wouldn't be good," Mo Ming said, ignoring Murong Lian and focusing on Jun Qianqian and Lin Yuan'er.
"Ah, that wouldn't be good..." Lin Yuan'er could accept that Mo Ming had other women, but she didn't want to share the stage with several others. However, given her personality, she wouldn't directly refuse Mo Ming.
"Pervert, I definitely don't agree. You don't need to look for me tonight," Jun Qianqian said.
"Qianqian, are you angry?" Mo Ming thought Jun Qianqian was throwing a tantrum and wrapped an arm around her waist.
"No, why would I be angry?" Jun Qianqian's expression showed no signs of being upset.
"Really?"
"Really!"
"That's good then. I might just stay here for one night; I'll have to leave tomorrow," Mo Ming said, feeling relieved after confirming that Jun Qianqian wasn't upset and changing the subject.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Is there something important you must do tomorrow?" Murong Lian felt a twinge of disappointment.
She hadn't gotten used to this kind of situation—meeting today and parting tomorrow. It easily stirred feelings of sorrow within her; at this moment, Murong Lian felt more reluctant than anything else.
After finally waiting for Mo Ming to return, now they were facing another separation the very next day. Both Jun Qianqian and Lin Yuan'er wore expressions of discomfort.
But none of them could say anything to keep Mo Ming from leaving; this was a path they had chosen themselves, and having made their choice, they had to bear the consequences.
"This matter is very important; I need to take care of it quickly. I'm only staying here for one night; tomorrow I will leave," Mo Ming sensed the emotional turmoil among the three women and felt a bit guilty. However, until he finished his business, he couldn't settle his heart.
In order to have a more peaceful life in the future, Mo Ming could only temporarily compromise with the three women who were willing to accompany him through this lifetime.
"It's okay," Murong Lian said with an effort to smile. "As long as you are by our side, even for just a minute, we will be content."
Being content with just a minute. What a deeply affectionate statement. Unfortunately, if it were true love, one would not be satisfied with just a minute but would constantly want more time together, to be close.
"I know it’s unfair to make you wait," Mo Ming said sincerely. "But it won't be long. Once everything is settled, we will get married. A wedding for the four of us, a once-in-a-lifetime wedding. I want the whole world to know that you are my wives!"
"Mm." The three women responded contentedly, surprisingly compliant, even Murong Lian did not voice any objections.
The atmosphere was very warm.
"Speaking of which, how do you plan to serve me tonight? Should we all do it together, or should I go room by room?" Mo Ming's mischievous smile completely shattered the warm atmosphere they had just created.
"Bad person! Who wants to serve you together!" Murong Lian retorted.
"So does that mean I should go one by one?" Mo Ming continued with a lewd laugh. "No problem, I can do that too. But who will come first?"
Mo Ming pointed at Murong Lian, who huffed and turned her head with her arms crossed.
"Yuan," Mo Ming pointed at Lin Yuan'er, who shyly shook her head.
"Alright then, since none of you want to come first, I'll go find Qianqian," Mo Ming said as he tightly embraced Jun Qianqian and smiled. "Qianqian, let's have some fun tonight."
"No! I can't! How about you go find Sister Murong first? Otherwise, Qianqian can do it too," Jun Qianqian said hurriedly as her face flushed.
"Did your relative come?" Mo Ming asked with a puzzled expression at Jun Qianqian's reaction, feeling somewhat disappointed.
“Qianqian's period has been absent for two months. It could be irregular menstruation, or maybe... Oh right, Qianqian, didn't I buy that thing for you to test yesterday? What did it say?” Murong Lian asked.
“Why not go to the hospital for a check-up?” Mo Ming asked with concern.
In fact, Mo Ming understood that women's issues could be serious. Two months without a period definitely indicated something was wrong with her body.
“Nothing, it's fine, just, just...” Jun Qianqian hesitated for a long time, her face turning as red as the sunset before finally saying, “I'm pregnant.”
“You're pregnant?” Mo Ming was momentarily taken aback, and when he finally processed the information, his face lit up with joy.
He grabbed Jun Qianqian's hand and looked at her belly, saying, “Am I going to be a dad?”
“Qianqian has already said it so clearly; why are you still asking?” Murong Lian was also happy for Jun Qianqian but immediately scolded Mo Ming when she saw his expression.

ps: I apologize for the slow updates and hope everyone can forgive me. In the early stages of writing, I wasn't fully prepared, which caused some plot points to stall. I'm sorry for the lack of updates. Additionally, last semester I focused solely on writing and neglected my studies, resulting in failing four subjects. This semester I've been busy with make-up exams and studying, which has slowed down my writing. My income from writing has decreased while the number of readers has increased. Without reader interaction, my motivation to write has diminished. Many have criticized me harshly; I want to say that every book is an author's hard work. You can give feedback, but if you don't enjoy it, then don't read it. Thank you all for your support; however, I still don't want this story to be abandoned. I will do my best to finish this book.
