The Beautiful County Magistrate-Chapter 762
For a moment, Mo Kui felt a surge of panic. If Mo Hongyan really had hooked up with some top-tier family in Beijing, she would truly become a formidable adversary.
But once he got a clear look at Xu Qianli’s face, Mo Kui quickly regained his composure.
He had a detailed understanding of nearly all the noble families in Beijing, including the key figures in each family. He knew them all.
Especially those young masters from powerful families who represented the future strength, he was well aware of them.
In his mind, there was definitely no such person.
Who is this kid, and what makes him think he has the ability to deal with everyone on his side, let alone shake the entire Mo Family?
Xu Qianli had already released Mo Yudie’s red lips, holding the kissed and softened beauty as he glanced sideways at Mo Kui and the others. "No need to guess who I am. I can tell you, my name is Xu Qianli, I just came over from Longhai Province."
Xu Qianli?
Isn’t that the Party Secretary from Qingshan Town, who has recently become quite popular online?
I thought he was somebody formidable, but it turns out he’s just a tiny sesame-seed-sized official!
Mo Kui was on the verge of bursting into laughter, pointing at Mo Hongyan and laughing heartily. "Sister-in-law, you really have some nerve, to bring in such ’support.’ I thought you’d found some big shot, but it turns out to be just this guy. Just a small-town official, do you think he can handle us?"
Not just Mo Kui, but the young members of the Mo Family were all laughing uproariously.
It was unimaginable how Mo Hongyan could pull off something like this.
If you were to find some provincial or ministerial level heavy-hitter to make an appearance, that would be one thing, but bringing in a small-town official? That’s just hilarious.
What use could this guy possibly have?
Mo Hongyan said, "Is it that funny? I’m curious to see if you’ll still be laughing later."
Mo Kui retorted, "Well, I’m eager to see what tricks you’ve got up your sleeve. Whatever moves you have, bring it on!"
Just a woman, who found a small-town official, what does she expect to do? Surely she doesn’t think she can turn the world upside down?
The Mo Family is destined to be mine, Mo Kui’s, and Mo Hongyan must be ousted!
Just as Mo Kui was basking in the glory of his relentless mockery, the cell phones of the Mo Family youngsters began to ring one after another, each of them busily answering calls.
"What, fired me? Mayor Zhang, why is that? I’ve just been promoted to director-level, I’ve barely settled into my position, why have you fired me? What’s the reason?"
"My assets are all frozen, what’s going on? Everything was fine, why have you frozen all my funds? What right does your bank have to freeze my money? Get your bank president on the phone. Do you know who I am? I’m a scion of the Mo Family, the leading affluent clan of Wangdong Province. Dare to freeze my money, you’re looking for trouble!"
"Mr. Wu, why are you withdrawing your investment? We’ve had such a good partnership, why are you pulling this move all of a sudden? I’ve already invested over two billion, and your withdrawal’s going to break my financial chain completely. I’ll be ruined, guaranteed to go bankrupt. You can’t do this to me, let’s discuss this calmly..."
"What do you mean, wife, you want a divorce, why..."
After taking the calls, the faces of the Mo Family youngsters were all filled with misery, as if the sky had fallen.
Even Mo Kui’s expression turned ugly. He had just taken a call saying that the matters he had been involved in had been exposed and reported to the police.
He’d been banking on the family’s energy to do his dirty deeds over the years, with a significant number of lives on his hands—all of which was now shaken out. This was unacceptable.
In shock, Mo Kui suddenly looked at Mo Hongyan and pointed at her angrily, "It was you, it was you who did all these things in secret, wasn’t it?"
"That’s right. After your son Mo Shengjie came to my house looking for trouble, I immediately used various means to deal with you guys. How does it feel, huh? Unpleasant, right? Seeing you upset, looking at you all like this, that makes me happy."
Mo Hongyan didn’t rise to her current status just by relying on men; her capabilities were far stronger than her late husband’s.
Over the years, though it appeared that her husband was in charge of the Mo Family, in reality, it was she who pulled the strings from behind the scenes.
Mo Kui and his ilk were completely oblivious, still thinking they could easily deal with her. Dream on!
Confronted with the formidable Mo Hongyan, Mo Kui suddenly calmed down and bellowed, "Everyone shut up and turn off your phones. Don’t answer any damned calls. The current situation is nothing to us. Those people are only acting like this because they don’t yet know about the changes in the Mo Family. If they knew that the Mo Family had a new head and that Mo Hongyan is nothing now, would they still listen to her?"
Having heard Mo Kui, the Mo Family juniors were instantly invigorated.
Indeed, Mo Hongyan’s methods were only possible because she had the identity of the Mo Family Head’s wife.
If those people knew that Mo Hongyan was finished, useless, and that the Mo Family was now in Mo Kui’s hands, who would listen to her?
Hahaha, what a scare for nothing. Good, so good.
Mo Hai said, "Mo Kui is truly our new Family Head. With him, what’s Mo Hongyan? Oh, Mo Hongyan, what tricks do you have left now? Mo Kui, if you ask me, keeping her is a hazard. Although she’s beautiful, she’s thorny, and keeping her is too dangerous. I advise you, don’t be tempted by a moment of pleasure at the risk to yourself, better to be ruthless and cut the grass from its roots!"
Mo Kui agreed wholeheartedly, nodding vigorously.
That’s right, what Mo Hai said was true; keeping Mo Hongyan was too risky.
Originally, he had wanted to enjoy Mo Hongyan’s beauty after taking over the family, to use her as his plaything, but her actions had terrified him.
Keeping this woman might lead to unforeseen trouble.
Rather than a fleeting pleasure, it was better to eradicate the problem at its source!
Having made up his mind, Mo Kui snapped his fingers.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, over a dozen figures dashed forward like ghosts.
Mo Kui said with a sinister smile, "See them, Mo Hongyan? These are the experts I’ve paid a fortune for; each one’s martial arts ability is outstanding, with inner strength at their disposal. Having them take you up won’t wrong you. Considering you are my sister-in-law, I’ll grant you a quick end. Go in peace."
In his eyes, Mo Hongyan was already a dead dog.
Once Mo Hongyan was dead, the situation would be settled, and henceforth all of the Mo Family’s power, wealth, and connections would be his, Mo Kui’s!
As for women, with power and wealth, how could he lack any? If he wanted, he could have as many as he desired.
Hahaha, Mo Hongyan, oh, Mo Hongyan, you’re the final stepping stone for my ascent to the summit. Go in peace, go join your dead husband!
Facing those experts, Mo Hongyan struggled to keep her composure and said solemnly, "Mo Kui, your methods are so cruel, you actually want to kill! I was thinking of sparing your life since my husband and you were brothers. But since you’re acting like this, don’t blame me for not being courteous."
Mo Kui replied, "Not being courteous, what can you do to me?"
Xu Qianli spoke up, "She might not be able to, but I can. You’ve offended someone you shouldn’t have, and now you want to make a move on Hongyan, don’t blame me for being unkind."
