Chapter 17: If need be, I’ll trade my life for your three lives

She couldn’t bear to continue reading, panic rising within her, feeling as though someone had punched her hard in the chest, almost causing her to choke.

Quickly, she grabbed her phone and dialed Xu Wanting’s number.

“Sis, I read part of that information! Is it the same on your end…?”

Xu Wanting seemed busy, hesitating slightly upon receiving her call.

“Yeah!” Xu Wanting replied.

“Sis, this, this shouldn’t be blamed on me. It’s all because of him…” Xu Xuehui trembled, unable to continue, wanting to make excuses.

“Because of him, what?” Xu Wanting asked. “Because he was an orphan before? Because he had to live like a cockroach? Scavenging for food in dirty gutters? Or because he doesn’t deserve to be our brother? Is he condemned to be an orphan his whole life?”

Xu Xuehui was taken aback. “Sis, I never thought of him that way! Just look at how dirty he used to be…”

“Xuehui, his family truly is all gone! Including you and me, we are all dead to him!”

Xu Xuehui was shocked.

“What he said is actually not wrong! He’s an orphan, always has been! I’ll send you his records; take a look!” Xu Wanting continued.

“I didn’t know how much he admired you before, how much he admired me, or perhaps even idolized… He must have idolized you a lot too!”

Xu Wanting continued, “You mentioned how he secretly attended your classes without informing you and got kicked out by your students! You said he collected many of your music songs and shared them with his friends to listen to. Xuehui, you were once his pride, someone he crazily idolized, but unfortunately… you are also dead to him now!”

“In his heart, we are all dead!”

Firecoin Network.

Xu Mo bought two hundred bitcoins at a price of 120 yuan each and sold them for 160 yuan each.

Currently, the price of bitcoin is around $20, which is 120 yuan. Within just a day, the price of bitcoin suddenly surged from $20 to $25, a 25% increase.

Xu Mo made a profit of seven to eight thousand yuan from selling his two hundred bitcoins for a total of thirty-two thousand yuan.

With the current drop in bitcoin prices expected to reach around $21, Xu Mo plans to buy more when it bottoms out again.

Making money with bitcoin is relatively easy, akin to rolling a snowball that grows larger. By maintaining a good grasp on things and not getting too deeply involved, he can accumulate enough startup capital.

Once he has the funds, he can continuously engage in various activities, investing in real estate, the internet industry, and physical businesses.

Xu Mo is well aware of the strength of the Xu family.

Just Xu Wanting’s cosmetics company alone is valued at over a billion, being a listed company.

And Xu Deming’s jewelry company, also valuable, is worth billions. Not to mention the various family businesses, large and small, making the Xu family incomparable to ordinary families.

Therefore, Xu Mo realizes that catching up to them will require significant effort.

Moreover, Xu Mo is well aware of the formidable nature of Xu Junzhe.

He is not just a high school student.

In reality, this individual excels academically, possesses exceptional intelligence, and harbors profound thoughts that set him apart from ordinary individuals.

Having lived as a spiritual being for twenty years in his previous life, Xu Mo has never encountered someone as formidable as Xu Junzhe.

Upon gaining control of the family business, Xu Junzhe swiftly outmaneuvered several siblings, consolidated power, and managed the company with an iron fist, leading to rapid growth and transforming it into a multi-billion-dollar behemoth.

Xu Mo will not underestimate this adversary.

Xu Wanting approached, seemingly carrying a sense of guilt, but Xu Mo is well aware that this does not signify much!

Xu Wanting has never fully grasped the significant issues surrounding Xu Junzhe’s presence.

Xu Junzhe is a very frightening individual.

He has framed Xu Mo several times in the past, but always in collaboration with others, rarely plotting alone.

He is aware that if he gets caught framing others multiple times, it would lead to discontent among his associates. Therefore, he hasn’t engaged in this behavior frequently.

Xu Junzhe knows where his strengths lie. He understands that as long as Xu Mo displays negative behavior, even if he does nothing, Xu Mo won’t pose a threat to his position.

All he needs to do is study diligently, excel academically, and please Xie Bingyan. This way, no one can force him out of the Xu family.

His six sisters would still love and sympathize with Xu Junzhe. Even if Xu Mo were to return, they would still consider Xu Junzhe as their most outstanding brother.

Therefore, it is unrealistic for Xu Mo to try to confront him now.

Xu Mo no longer desires any contact with the Xu family. However, if he could embarrass the Xu family in some way, he would be more than happy to see that happen.

His current focus is on earning enough money and improving his exam scores as much as possible. He aims to become the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

He recalls from his past life that Xu Junzhe was the top scorer in the science stream in Xiahai City, ranking within the top thirty in the city. With higher personal expectations this time, he aims to achieve the top science stream score and rank within the top twenty overall.

After achieving these results, he can enter the university he desires and further pursue his entrepreneurial aspirations.

The process is challenging, but that doesn’t deter him. He recalls some of the college entrance exam questions, even though the memories are somewhat fuzzy. Continuous practice and solving questions will help him overcome this.

At home, Xu Mo sees that the price of bitcoin is dropping again, prompting him to initiate his next buying plan.

With over thirty thousand yuan on hand now, he can purchase even more next time.

The volatility of bitcoin is rapid, sometimes experiencing significant drops or surges. All he needs to do is stay composed.

After attending to these matters, Xu Mo slings his backpack over his shoulder and leisurely heads to class. However, upon arriving at the school gate, he suddenly sees two familiar cars parked there.

Xu Mo furrowed his brow as he saw Xu Wanting, Xie Bingyan, and Xu Deming stepping out of the cars.

Two bodyguards also accompanied them.

“Xu Mo!”

Xu Wanting called out to him.

However, Xu Mo didn’t even glance at them. He walked past them and headed towards the school gate.

“Xu Mo, stop right there! You are becoming more and more lawless. You don’t even acknowledge us when you see us?!” Xie Bingyan, incensed by Xu Mo’s disregard, angrily exclaimed.

Yet, Xu Mo continued walking as if he hadn’t heard a thing.

“Xiaoliu, stop him for me!” Xie Bingyan ordered.

“Yes!” One of the bodyguards quickly stepped forward to block Xu Mo.
