Seeing her second sister crouched on the ground crying, Xu Shuying hurriedly went to talk with her and brought her to the hospital.
It seemed that after seeing Xu Mo leave, Xu Xuehui couldn’t stop crying, frantically wiping her tears. Xu Shuying quickly took out a tissue and handed it to her, encouraging her to wipe her tears.
“Second Sister, try to calm down!” Xu Shuying comforted her.
Xu Xuehui sniffled and said, “Shuying, did you see? During this time, Xu Mo has been working incredibly hard, almost like he’s gone mad!”
Xu Shuying was taken aback.
“During the time he became the top scorer in the college entrance exams, he always had a knife hidden in his backpack. When he pulled it out, it scared Mom and Dad and all of us! We couldn’t believe it!” Tears welled up in Xu Xuehui’s eyes again.
Xu Shuying hadn’t been at the back gate of the 27th High School that day and didn’t see Xu Mo pull out the knife, but she had heard about it afterward and was quite shocked.
“He harbors a deep hatred and has become very ruthless! He doesn’t hold back even when facing Mom and Dad. We didn’t understand these things before, but now, looking back, it feels like a knife to the heart!”
Xu Xuehui, her eyes brimming with tears, looked at Xu Shuying and said, “I think if Xu Mo ever becomes successful, he will definitely take revenge on us!”
Xu Shuying’s expression froze instantly.
“I’m now most afraid that he’ll do something foolish. Every time I see him, I feel like he’s already plunged into a hysterical madness, and it’s terrifying! He shouldn’t be so full of despair about the world, nor should he be so hopeless about our family!” Xu Xuehui continued.
Xu Shuying thought for a moment and said, “The project he’s working on now is very good—it’s about sharing and full of love!”
“Do you understand how contradictory that is? Extremely contradictory! Given Xu Mo’s current state, he wouldn’t be doing such a project! That’s why I’m very worried about his condition now!” Xu Xuehui sniffled again.
Xu Shuying also felt that this project might be a bit cruel for Xu Mo. She had heard his slogan: “If everyone shares a little love, the world will become a better place.”
Such a project and slogan didn’t seem like something Xu Mo would come up with. Not only Xu Xuehui, but even she felt a sense of distortion and unreality.
“Xu Mo, he’s already nearing success! He secured 100 million in funding and seems to be making big moves recently!” Xu Shuying said after some thought.
“He will definitely take revenge on us! In the future, he will surely take revenge on us!” Xu Xuehui cried. “He doesn’t want to interact with us now because he isn’t fully successful yet, but once he is, he will definitely come back to the Xu family and reclaim everything that belongs to him! Shuying, I’ve seen people like Xu Mo. He compresses his anger to the extreme and won’t show any sign of it normally, but once he lets it out, it will be utterly destructive!”
“We’ve all underestimated him! He has the ability, the wisdom, and the tactics. Even without the Xu family, he’s still doing very well! I believe that with everything that happened to him, he will make us repay step by step!” Xu Xuehui’s words made Xu Shuying’s face grow increasingly solemn.
“Do you know? He said that it was you and our eldest sister who poisoned him, trying to kill him!”
Xu Xuehui continued to cry, “We never intended to poison him! But he knows that someone in the Xu family wants him dead! He constantly remembers this!”
“Second Sister, stop talking!” Xu Shuying suddenly felt a wave of fear.
“We may not like him, we may ignore him, we may disdain him, but there’s no need to poison him, right? Shuying, I hope you can help us find out who really poisoned Xu Mo. We need to understand everything to give him justice!” Xu Xuehui implored.
Xu Shuying was silent for a moment, then nodded after some thought. “Alright.”
That day, Xie Bingyan and Xu Deming were very happy.
The five of them went to Paris and posted many photos in the family group chat.
They visited the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-Élysées, and also went to the Sacré-Cœur and the Seine River.
They had a lot of fun and joy!
Since there were still four or five people at home who didn’t go, they shared the photos they took, filled with laughter and joy, to the family group chat.
No one could pinpoint exactly when it started, but Xu Mo was no longer in the family group chat.
Maybe it started when he lost his phone, but Xu Mo never mentioned it. Perhaps he had already given up on the Xu family since last year.
In the family group, Xie Bingyan, along with Xu Junzhe and the others, bought many gifts—jewelry, cosmetics, clothing, and more. They asked what the others wanted and offered to bring back some items for those who didn’t go.
Their sixth sister, Xu Yuanchan, who was likely studying in Beijing and didn’t have time to go, eagerly asked for a bunch of things when she saw the messages.
Originally, Xu Shuying also wanted to ask them for some things, but at this moment, she lost interest.
“They’re coming back and will probably bring a lot of gifts! But Xu Mo likely still won’t receive any. I’ve already confirmed it!” Xu Wanting told her.
Xu Shuying felt a chill run through her body. She wasn’t sure if she should take the opportunity, before they returned, to tell Xie Bingyan about Xu Mo’s entrepreneurial efforts.
However, after thinking it over, she realized that mentioning it might dampen their spirits for the rest of the trip. Moreover, even if she did bring it up, it probably wouldn’t change anything. Xu Shuying decided to remain silent for now.
Perhaps, as her second sister had said, Xu Mo already harbored deep hatred for them—an intense, overwhelming hatred. This hatred could only be addressed after they found out who was responsible for the poisoning.
The current suspect is their third sister, Xu Manni!
They would have to wait for her return.
…
Xu Mo’s progress was swift.
Over at Phoenix Bikes, they were already working at full capacity to produce bicycles for him. A portion of the payment for the bikes had already been settled, and Xu Mo placed an order for an additional 200,000 bikes.
With now 150 million yuan in funding secured, (he got another investors) most of the streets were now equipped with bikes, and Xu Mo’s user base continued to grow at an even more pleasing rate.
Currently, at least ten thousand new users were being added every day.
The bike-sharing system in Xiahai City was almost fully established. Xu Mo, along with Tang Lei and the other three, went on a business trip to the nearby cities of Daning and Yangzhou.
These two cities were second-tier cities, relatively close to Xiahai City, and considered satellite cities of Xiahai. Xu Mo wanted to take advantage of the time before students returned to school and complete the bike-sharing setup in these cities.
These two cities don’t require many bicycles—around two to three hundred thousand would suffice. Once the setup in these two cities is complete, we can proceed to Beijing.
There are only a few days left until school starts.
“We need to provide vehicles and drivers for the company. Just a few tens of small trucks will do, and we’ll assign drivers to collect the bicycles!”
“I want each bike to have someone in charge, and there should be someone responsible for collecting them!”
“We need area managers who will assign tasks to the collectors. Damaged bikes should be retrieved for repairs. We need to minimize loss as much as possible!”
Upon hearing this, Tang Lei chuckled, “Xu Mo, do you think we’re expanding too fast? Many things haven’t been properly set up yet!”
Xu Mo glanced at him and replied, “I heard that others are also interested in this project, and they have big capital backing them! We can’t compete with these big players, so we have to speed up to capture the market as much as possible! We need to establish our brand first and make sure everyone knows about our Little Monster bikes!”
“Others are interested in this too?” Tang Lei and Gu Huanxi were surprised.
Xu Mo nodded, “Very soon! If we don’t act fast enough, the market will be taken over by others. Our window of opportunity is short!”
“All right! Then let’s speed up even more. After all, we have money now!” Tang Lei nodded.
“But Xu Mo, Auntie Tang is here again!” Li Banzhuang suddenly smirked as they talked.
Xu Mo looked up and saw an elderly woman walking towards them. She was holding something in her hand. Who else could it be but Auntie Tang?
“I think the Tang family should be quite good! Auntie Tang is probably sincere!” Gu Huanxi smiled, a hint of envy in her eyes.
Xu Mo shook his head and said, “She doesn’t understand my situation yet. I’ll explain it to her in a few days. If she still has this kind of thinking after I explain, then we’ll see!”
“Your household registration is indeed a big issue. Without it, many things won’t be possible in the future. This needs to be resolved sooner rather than later!” Tang Lei advised.
“Got it!”
