However, Xu Mo couldn’t control Xu Manni. If Xu Manni really fell into Chen Anxiong’s hands, it would be her own fault.
If she harbored resentment against him, it would be like seeking death.
What Xu Mo was concerned about was Xu Junzhe.
However, he couldn’t predict Xu Junzhe’s specific actions. He wasn’t a god and couldn’t interfere much in Xu Junzhe’s plans.
He was only focused on pressuring Xu Junzhe to continue with his actions. Whether someone would die, or both, Xu Mo didn’t care, as long as one of them was dead.
Since the news hadn’t come back yet, it would likely take a few more days. Xu Mo wasn’t in a hurry and would wait patiently.
In fact, he had been somewhat busy lately. A while ago, his company was attacked, and he had contacted some people to investigate. The results were now in.
Xu Mo took a look and saw that it wasn’t unexpected.
His dear uncle Xu Bohan had ultimately intervened.
From the moment Xu Bohan didn’t oppose Xu Junzhe’s rise, Xu Mo had sensed something was wrong. The main target of this investigation was naturally Xu Bohan, and the results were quite as he had anticipated.
Xu Bohan was actually quite cold-blooded.
He appeared refined and cultured, with a love for the arts, but there was a deep-seated indifference within him. He had always looked down on Xu Deming, holding himself above him. If it hadn’t been for the insistence of the Xie family back then, Xu Deming wouldn’t have had any share in Fengxiang Jewelry.
The old Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu favored their eldest son, Xu Bohan, and showed little concern for Xu Deming. Over the years, there had been little interaction.
It could be said that Xu Deming’s descent into a debauched lifestyle and his relentless indulgence were largely due to the lack of concern from the old Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu.
“How much damage did we incur from the last attack?”
“So far, the damage is at least twenty billion. Although our stock price is still rising, the momentum has slowed because of this incident.”
“I understand.”
This bill would be charged to Xu Bohan.
Xu Mo had no personal grievances with him; he hadn’t even met him more than a few times. Yet, this uncle had chosen to strike him at a critical moment.
Very good, very perfect.
“Have a meeting with Xu Deming!” Xu Mo said as he turned to Li Banzhuang. “I need to see him.”
Li Banzhuang was taken aback. “You want to see him?”
“Though he’s repulsive, he still has his uses. There are some things I think I need to discuss with him,” Xu Mo said with a cold expression.
Li Banzhuang sighed. “Then I’ll notify him to come over. He’s been waiting downstairs all this time!”
“Alright!”
Xu Deming had used every means possible to see him recently.
Since Xu Mo wasn’t meeting him, Xu Deming had been coming to the company lobby every day, refusing to leave, even bringing a chair from somewhere to sit there.
Xu Mo had grown quite fed up with it.
At this point, there was nothing left to hide. It was time to lay everything out with Xu Deming.
Xie Bingyan might not know, but Xu Deming’s vileness was far greater than she had imagined. Xie Bingyan had underestimated how disgusting this man really was!
Xu Deming was, of course, waiting downstairs. When he received the notification, he was overjoyed and quickly took the elevator up.
“Xu Mo!” he exclaimed excitedly as he entered the office.
“Sit down,” Xu Mo said indifferently, casting a cold glance at him.
“No, it’s fine if I stand! Xu Mo, let me explain. I didn’t know about the poisoning, I had no idea…”
“Hold on, don’t say anything for now! I understand,” Xu Mo interrupted. “This matter is in the past and not that important anymore.”
“Well…” Xu Deming’s expression faltered.
“Let’s talk about your situation. Xu Deming, what are you planning to do?” Xu Mo asked, looking at him.
Xu Deming was taken aback and quickly said, “I came here today to apologize! I never thought your mother would do such a thing! There must be a misunderstanding. I really don’t think your mother would do something so vicious!”
“Oh?” Xu Mo’s lips curled into a slight smirk as he looked at him with disdain.
“But there is a possibility! I want to investigate the truth before speaking further. In any case, we owe you an apology for this matter!” Xu Deming said, noticing Xu Mo’s unusual expression and speaking urgently.
Xu Mo suddenly smiled, his smile showing some genuine amusement. “Xu Deming, how did you feel when Xu Junzhe was adopted back then?”
“Well…” Xu Deming was taken aback.
“Did you ever get angry back then? Did you pursue the matter? Did you have anyone investigate it?” Xu Mo asked with a smile.
Xu Deming’s expression became serious. “A lot happened back then. I had someone look into it, but I was too busy, and there were no results…”
“Stop lying to me! I know everything!” Xu Mo said with a mocking smile. “I know all the details, including that Xu Junzhe’s biological mother is named Huang Qiuling! Xu Deming, do you know that Xu Junzhe’s biological mother is named Huang Qiuling?”
In an instant, Xu Deming’s face turned ashen.
“This…”
“You knew, didn’t you?” Xu Mo’s smile grew wider, full of derision. “That model, with a great figure and beautiful looks! You wouldn’t easily forget that model! Even if you’re getting old and senile, you must remember her clearly!”
Xu Deming’s face showed panic. “W-Who told you about this?”
“Why would someone need to tell me for me to know? If I want to know, I’ll find out!” Xu Mo said with a smile.
“Xu Mo, let me explain. I didn’t know most of what happened back then; I only found out later! At first, I had no idea about this matter!” Xu Deming quickly explained.
“Yes, you really didn’t anticipate it at first! If no one had told you, you wouldn’t have known much! You’ve always been rather clueless! But the final result was obvious, wasn’t it? You’ve always had your own plans in mind!”
Xu Mo sneered and shrugged. “I didn’t want to discuss these things before, and I was too lazy to expose you! But Xu Deming, you should know that I am aware! And I know it very well!”
Xu Deming’s face instantly showed dread.
“Of course! Today’s visit isn’t just to talk about this matter! I want to discuss the Xu family in Shuzhong with you! How much authority do you have over the Xu family in Shu?” Xu Mo asked.
Hearing this, Xu Deming seemed relieved and quickly said, “Xu Mo, you want to go back to Shu? That’s fine! Your grandfather will soon turn seventy. I’ll take you back with me! This time, we’ll make a grand return to the Xu family in Shu!”
Xu Mo smiled again. “Do you think it will be grand?”
“Of course it will be grand! As long as you go back with me, it will be grand! We’ll witness the condition of the Xu family together! Our Xu family has many people!” Xu Deming said quickly.
“Then, what about Xu Bohan? How confident are you about him?”
“Well…” Xu Deming thought of Xu Bohan’s gloomy face and immediately felt a shiver. He had always been somewhat afraid of Xu Bohan.
Xu Mo smiled and mocked, “Never mind! It seems that you won’t be of much help in this matter either! This dear uncle of mine is quite straightforward and ruthless! I suspect his actions are definitely not limited to just this!”
“He—what has he done?” Xu Deming asked, astonished.
