Entering the hall of Feng Tianshu's house, Mo Ming sat down on the tiger-skin sofa without any politeness, while Feng Tianshu opened a bottle of red wine that had been aged for decades and poured a glass for Mo Ming.
"President Feng, I won't beat around the bush. My master told me last night that you are already aware that the mastermind behind the current predicament is Feng Tianyi, right?" Mo Ming asked directly. After asking, he took a light sip of the red wine and smiled, "This wine tastes good."
"That's right. I was quite shocked when I first heard this news. However, the person who informed me is my trusted confidant, so he wouldn't lie to me," Feng Tianshu said with a self-deprecating smile. "Who would have thought that the one who wanted to put me to death would be my own younger brother?"
"Should I be grateful that my father only has me as a son?" Mo Ming raised his glass and joked, "President Feng, I wonder how your relationship with this brother of yours is usually?"
"When Tianyi was young, he always liked to follow me around calling me brother. Over the years, I believe I've treated him well. To be honest, I hoped that the Feng family would share the world equally in the future. I just didn't expect Tianyi to collude with outsiders against his own brother!" Feng Tianshu said, his body trembling with anger as he spoke.
"Hehe, I think your brother is just being misled. President Feng doesn't need to be so angry. I'm just curious, after this matter is resolved, how do you plan to deal with your brother?"
Mo Ming was particularly concerned about this issue; when brothers turn against each other, the victor will ultimately decide the fate of the other side. He wanted to see how this business genius would handle it.
"No matter what, he is still my younger brother. He can be ruthless towards me, but I don't want to be ruthless towards him. Once this matter is over and I regain control of the Feng family, I'll give him something to ensure he lives well in his next life," Feng Tianshu sighed and said seriously. "Alright, Mr. Mo, let's not discuss my family's private matters anymore; let's talk about why you're here today."
"I was planning to do that, but somehow our conversation drifted into this topic. Now let's get back to today's business," Mo Ming put down his glass of red wine, crossed his legs, and smiled. "We need to talk about your brother, Feng Tianyi; I've heard from my master that his backer is someone called Lord, right?"
"Yes, it's indeed Lord," Feng Tianshu confirmed with a nod but then asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong with that?"
"To be honest, I have a rival whose codename is also Lord. I'm just not sure if this Lord is the same as that Lord," Mo Ming said seriously as he fixed his gaze on Feng Tianshu. "This time I've helped you out, President Feng; I hope you won't forget our agreement and will help me in return."
"Are you suggesting we join forces against Lord?" Feng Tianshu asked tentatively.
"Yes, let's join forces against Lord. Since he is your enemy and also mine, we don't need to reach any consensus on this matter. President Feng, I can tell you that if your current enemy is Lord, neither you nor the Feng family behind you will be able to deal with him," Mo Ming said with a charming smile.
"Mr. Mo, don't misunderstand my intentions. Since you're willing to spend lavishly to help me out this time, when you need my assistance in return, I naturally can't refuse. However, it sounds like your enemy isn't easy to deal with at all. So tell me how you want me to help you."
Feng Tianshu was secretly taken aback. If he couldn't handle the situation himself, it wouldn't be surprising. However, if even the Feng Family behind him couldn't deal with it, then this enemy was truly terrifying.
The Feng Family was a historically significant clan. Not to mention their immense wealth, many high-ranking officials in the government of Huaxia were members of the Feng Family. If anyone dared to offend the Feng Family, even a high-ranking official would find themselves ousted through legitimate means.
"It's simple. We give it our all and win this battle. Once this matter is resolved, you and I will continue to work together, pressing the advantage and not giving Lord and his group a chance to breathe. We will first dismantle their economic structure, and that way, they won't be able to hold out for long." Mo Ming's eyes flashed with an inscrutable expression as he raised his glass and took a light sip, waiting for Feng Tianshu's response.
However, the answer seemed obvious. Mo Ming had already guessed Feng Tianshu's response; now he was just waiting for him to say it.
"Alright, with the two business prodigies joining forces, we will surely be unstoppable. Mr. Mo, from now on, we are in the same boat. If you need my help with anything else, I will not refuse. Regardless of the outcome, I believe it's worth it to have a friend like you," Feng Tianshu said after some contemplation.
After weighing his options, Feng Tianshu nodded in agreement. Firstly, he owed Mo Ming a favor; secondly, he feared that this Lord might pose a threat to the safety of the Feng Family, which led him to agree after careful consideration.
"Well then, since you've said that, I have one more favor to ask of you," Mo Ming said with a slight smile.
"Sure! Mo Ming, whatever you need, just say it. As long as I can do it, I won't refuse." Upon hearing Mo Ming address him as 'Tian Shu,' Feng Tianshu understood that Mo Ming was trying to get closer to him and reciprocated by calling him directly by name.
"Your brother Feng Tianyi has connections with Lord. He must have some information about Lord. I hope you can help me find out what he knows or extract some news from him," Mo Ming said while swirling his glass of red wine.
Feng Tianshu replied without hesitation, "I will do my best with this matter. As for whether I can accomplish it, I can't guarantee anything right now. I'll notify you immediately if I get any news!"
"Great! I'll be waiting for good news then. Tian Shu, I need to get back to work now; let's not chat any longer." Mo Ming set down his glass and stood up.
Feng Tianshu looked curious and asked, "Aren't you not involved in business? Do you still need to go to work?"
"Haha! I'm currently a bodyguard; I have to clock in on time!" Mo Ming laughed heartily and paid no mind to Feng Tianshu's confusion as he stepped out of the house.
"This guy is still hard to figure out, a bodyguard? More like a flower protector," Feng Tianshu said with a faint smile, shaking his wine glass before downing it in one go.
...
Mo Ming stepped out of Feng Tianshu's estate and had just driven a short distance when his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Liufeng, immediately answering the call.
"Boss, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Liufeng's tone was serious, as if something truly bad had happened.
Mo Ming furrowed his brow with concern. "Let's hear the bad news first; I prefer to start with the bitter before the sweet."
"As I suspected, our base in America has been taken down. Many of our brothers are dead, including Python. Only Crocodile managed to escape with less than a hundred men," Liufeng said heavily.
Hearing that Python was dead, Mo Ming tightened his grip on the steering wheel, a murderous aura emanating from him. Python was a skilled fighter within their group and also one of Mo Ming's brothers.
The thought that the man with a neck as thick as a python would never move again filled Mo Ming with an indescribable sorrow. After a long moment, he took a deep breath, trying to regain his composure, and said in a low voice, "Who did this? Was it those scum from the Dark Order?"
"Crocodile told me it was the M Country Mafia. They have no grievances with us; I suspect they are part of the Dark Order's forces!" Liufeng's voice was filled with anger.
"The death of Python is not without value; at least we know that the M Country Mafia is part of the Dark Order. Let's have Crocodile and his men come to Nanhua City. We need to pull all our brothers out of America," Mo Ming said solemnly.
"Alright, I've finished with the bad news. Now for the good news, Boss. After months of tracking and lurking, we've finally captured Gong Gao Yi and Miyu."
Liufeng spoke with frustration. "Damn it, that old hag managed to escape, making me track her for so long. But luckily, Gong Gao Yi went after Miyu and I was able to take them both down!"
"Haha, Gong Gao Yi is cunning; who would have thought he would end up harming himself in the end? Liufeng, hurry back with your men. I'm waiting for our brothers to return; we're about to do something big!"
Hearing the news of Python's death, Mo Ming's laughter turned bitter. After all, he was a good brother, suddenly gone, and Mo Ming felt heavy-hearted, as if his heart had been stabbed hard.
"Well, that Four-Faced Buddha from Thailand has also been caught by me. Damn it, how dare he compete with me for people? He must be tired of living. With that pathetic organization of his, it's simply no match!" Liufeng cursed.
"Haha, if it really were no match, you wouldn't be cursing like this. But no matter how difficult the process was, Four-Faced Buddha still fell into your hands. This guy is somewhat talented; let's observe him first."
Mo Ming understood Liufeng too well. No matter how difficult the situation was, it always sounded easy when it came out of his mouth. However, Mo Ming knew that only difficult matters were worthy of Liufeng's attention.
"Yeah, I've already had someone prepare a helicopter for me. I estimate it will take three days before I can go back. The landing spot will be at Phoenix Grand Hotel."
"Alright, three days later, I'll prepare a feast for you at Phoenix Grand Hotel! Looking forward to your arrival!"
"Sure! To catch these bastards, I've been eating well every day. When I get back, if I don't eat thirty pounds of abalone from you, I won't let it go!"
"If you can eat it, I guarantee I'll find it for you!" Mo Ming said. "Okay, enough talk for now. Make sure everyone stays safe; the Dark Order has already started moving. We must preserve our strength and deliver a fatal blow at the right moment!"
"I will. Boss, goodbye." With that, Liufeng hung up the phone.
Mo Ming put down the phone, squinted his eyes, and said fiercely: "Dark Order, Python, Qingmeng, and everyone's lives—I have them all noted in my heart. Just wait; your death is not far away!"
