Getting out of Feng Tianshu's car, Mo Ming got into his own vehicle and took out his phone to call his mentor from the Stock Market.
As soon as the call connected, Meng Zong chuckled, "Well, well, Mo Ming, it's been a while since you called me. Has Feng Tianshu come knocking on your door?"
"Master, you always know everything. I suppose you hope for me to collaborate with Feng Tianshu?" Mo Ming had already guessed that Meng Zong was aware of his whereabouts.
If Meng Zong had no intention of having him work with Feng Tianshu, even if Feng Tianshu offered Meng Zong all his wealth, Meng Zong would never reveal Mo Ming's true identity.
"Yes, actually this is an opportunity for us. If we can help Feng Tianshu through this crisis, we could gain a powerful ally like him in the future. Why not? Even if this gamble risks our entire fortune, it’s worth it. After all, we started from nothing before; we can always start over again. Opportunities like this are rare," Meng Zong said earnestly.
"I understand the importance of this for us. To deal with the Dark Order, I would risk my life if necessary," Mo Ming replied, his voice filled with determination. The thought of his comrades being killed one by one ignited a surge of anger within him.
Meng Zong could sense the overwhelming rage radiating from Mo Ming even from a distance. "Mo Ming, I understand your anger. Don't worry; I will support you to the end!"
"Thank you, Master," Mo Ming expressed gratefully. In truth, Meng Zong didn't have to get involved; he was doing it for him. Despite his age, he still managed the businesses under his care to fight against the deeply rooted Dark Order.
Mo Ming knew he could never repay this kindness. Master Meng Zong had no children and treated him like a beloved grandson. Mo Ming regarded Meng Zong not just as a mentor but also as a kind and affectionate grandfather.
"Stop it with the gratitude; you know I don't like hearing that," Meng Zong chided playfully.
"Understood. Alright, Master, since I've agreed to help Feng Tianshu, please use our funds to assist him. We must win this battle and do so spectacularly!" Mo Ming declared.
"Okay, I'll handle this matter well; you don’t need to worry about it. Just be careful. I've heard that the Dark Order has been rampantly attacking other regions' Soul Organizations lately. They must be eager to eliminate you," Meng Zong warned.
"I'm a Shura; Yama wouldn't dare take me in easily. But Master, you must stay safe too. The Dark Order might know you're helping me, and I'm afraid they could pose a threat to you as well."
"You don't need to worry about me. Don't forget, I'm an old acquaintance of Commander Hao from one of the Four Major Military Regions. Recently, I've been here playing chess with him and enjoying some leisure time. No matter how powerful the Dark Order is, I don't believe they would dare to act recklessly in the military district!" Meng Zong said passionately.
"That's good to hear, Master. Let's leave it at that for now. I have some matters to attend to on my end. When I have time another day, I'll come visit you," Mo Ming replied, feeling reassured that Meng Zong was with Commander Hao.
"Alright, let's leave it at that for now."
Mo Ming hung up the phone and called Jessica.
With Feng Tianshu's group facing such a frenzied attack, Mo Ming naturally needed to investigate the mastermind behind it all. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and one's enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles; Mo Ming didn't want to fight a battle without confidence!
The intelligence system of the "Yihun" organization, known as Underworld, was established by Jessica herself. To investigate such matters, it was essential for Jessica to personally mobilize her resources.
"Boss, you've been back in Nanhua City for a while now. What made you think of calling me? Come on, is there something you need my help with again?" Jessica said with a cheerful tone.
Mo Ming smiled lightly and replied, "I really am an incompetent boss if you think I only call when I need something."
"Isn't that the case?" Jessica countered.
"Well, it actually is," Mo Ming laughed a few times and continued, "Alright, Jessica, I've chatted with you enough. This time I really do have something to ask for your help."
"I knew it! Alright then, just tell me what you need. If the boss asks, I'll definitely get it done," Jessica said with a hint of playfulness in her voice.
"I'm completely confident in your abilities. In my eyes, you're like the embodiment of Athena—beauty and wisdom combined," Mo Ming said awkwardly, quickly flattering her.
"Alright, I get it. Listening to you flatter me feels quite strange. So, what do you need me to help you with?" Jessica was certainly feeling quite speechless at this moment.
Mo Ming immediately got to the point and said, "You should know the business prodigy Feng Tianshu, right? His group is currently under attack from a mysterious person, and I hope to find out the true identity of this mysterious individual as soon as possible!"
"Feng Tianshu? His name is quite prominent in the business world. I can't believe someone actually dares to declare war on him. Alright, boss, I understand. I will mobilize the core forces of the Underworld to investigate this matter as quickly as possible."
"Just notify me once you have any news. I'm hanging up now."
After Mo Ming finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone, started the engine, and the low rumble of the engine echoed as the car sped away from the parking lot.
Mo Ming drove to Murong Wei's Hillside Mansion. Upon entering, he found Murong Wei sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a newspaper. When he saw Mo Ming arrive, he put down the newspaper and greeted him with a warm smile typical of an elder.
"Mo Ming, have you finished your discussion with Feng Tianshu?"
"Yes." Mo Ming nodded and then asked, "By the way, Father-in-law, didn't Lian Lian come back with you? Where is she?"
"She's in her room." Murong Wei knew that the conversation between Feng Tianshu and Mo Ming was confidential, so he didn't ask further. Someone of his status was already quite savvy about what to ask and what not to ask.
"Oh." Mo Ming acknowledged without urgency to find Murong Lian. He came here not only to see her but also had matters to discuss with Murong Wei. Since Murong Wei was present, it made sense for him to clarify things with him first.
Murong Wei seemed to sense Mo Ming's thoughts and smiled slightly. "Mo Ming, you have something else you want to discuss with me, right?"
"Yes, I've secured the land in Nanhua City’s West District. Next, I plan to start construction there." Mo Ming stated directly. "My vision is to turn that land into a park-like area; I want to create a small Summer Palace!"
"Small Yuanmingyuan?" Murong Wei stroked his chin and said, "From what I gathered at the auction, you plan to build the Small Yuanmingyuan for Lian Lian and the others to live in, right?"
"Yes," Mo Ming nodded, sitting down next to Murong Wei. "I thought with your experience in real estate, Father-in-law, you could help me with this."
"I knew you'd come to me for help. I had a few bold projects lined up recently, but for you, I've canceled everything today. Don't worry, as your future father-in-law, I will definitely assist you. Besides, you're the good son of my comrade; I've already considered you like a son!"
Murong Wei patted Mo Ming's shoulder heavily, a sign of his appreciation.
"Thank you so much, Father-in-law. Rest assured, I will pay you the market price for the construction costs. However, I need the design to be innovative and for the project to be completed quickly," Mo Ming stated his requirements to Murong Wei.
Murong Wei laughed heartily and said, "Are you in such a hurry to finish because you want to marry Lian'er soon?"
"That's one important reason, but I have other plans as well," Mo Ming admitted. He was determined to provide a home for Lin Yuan'er and her two companions as soon as possible. However, there was another significant reason for purchasing land in the West District to establish a garden-style residence.
With his rapid development, the Dark Order had already marked him as a thorn in their side and would likely spare no effort to eliminate him. Mo Ming needed to acquire a place to accommodate members of his organization from Africa.
He believed that after enduring the trials of war, his brothers from Africa were now sharpened and ready to assist him. This way, while they helped him with tasks, they could also protect his loved ones in Nanhua City—killing two birds with one stone.
"Although you're young, you always handle things maturely. I won't pry into your plans; I trust that whatever you're doing is well thought out," Murong Wei said with a faint smile. "Mo Ming, Lian'er is my only daughter; you must take good care of her and not let her suffer any grievances."
"Father-in-law, rest assured. I will treat Lian Lian well. She won't suffer while she's with me; I can guarantee that," Mo Ming promised, his eyes shining with determination. "I will protect her with my life and won't let anyone harm her!"
"Good, good! With your word, I'm at ease," Murong Wei said joyfully. As a father whose daughter had found a good match, how could he not be happy? He had no doubts about the words of this young man, Mo Ming.
Because from the beginning until now, Mo Ming has not done anything that made him feel disappointed.
“Dad, Mo Ming, what are you two talking about? As long as you say that, I can relax,” Murong Lian came down from the room upstairs and walked over to Murong Wei, resting her hand on his shoulder and asking.
Murong Wei patted her hand on his shoulder and said, “Just now, Mo Ming promised me that he would protect you with his life. He may be young, but he is indeed a good man worthy of trust. I feel very relieved that you are with him.”
“Dad, don’t praise him so much. He can’t handle flattery; once you compliment him, he starts to show off,” Murong Lian rolled her eyes at Mo Ming. Although she didn’t give him any face verbally, she felt sweet inside.
“Lian Lian, what Father-in-law said is true. I must be a man worthy of trust, not for any other reason, but because I am your man!” Mo Ming said with a mischievous smile.
Murong Lian pouted playfully, “Oh, why do you have to say such cheesy things?”
“That’s not cheesy; that’s sweet talk. Don’t you understand?” Mo Ming shamelessly replied.
“Ahem…” Murong Wei pretended to cough a few times, stood up, and said, “I’m a bit tired now; I’ll go back to my room to rest. You two continue your flirting… By the way, Mo Ming, I will have someone help you with your matters.”
“Thank you so much, Father-in-law.”
