The Beautiful County Magistrate-Chapter 764

The situation was stronger than the man, and seeing that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to him, Mo Kui simply chose to retreat.

"Mo Hongyan, you wretched woman, you brought in a tough player. I admit defeat today and I will let you have this round."

However, don’t get cocky, and don’t think you’ll have the last laugh. Once I, Mo Kui, break free, I will definitely turn around and deal with you.

So what if you’ve brought in an expert? Here in Wangdong Province, there are more than one high-profile experts, including the Qingshan Association.

Before, the Qingshan Association had already tried to recruit Mo Kui, attempting to help him ascend to the position of Mo Family Master.

Mo Kui had considered cooperating with the Qingshan Association, but their demands were too high at the time, and he could not accept them. Plus, he believed he was firmly in control and could easily handle Mo Hongyan, so he declined.

Who could have foreseen that things would develop to this point, or that Xu Qianli would suddenly appear and join forces with Mo Hongyan to help her?

Damn it, losing for a moment doesn’t matter. Mo Kui first needs to find a way to escape.

As long as he can escape, he will immediately seek out the Qingshan Association, and this time, no matter how harsh the conditions, even if he has to offer up his own wife, he would agree.

He doesn’t believe that with the power of the Qingshan Association, they couldn’t eradicate Mo Hongyan.

And that Xu Qianli, though he didn’t know his background, even if he’s formidable, he couldn’t possibly rival the Qingshan Association.

As long as the Qingshan Association steps in, these people are nothing. The position of the number one house in Wangdong Province, Mo Family, is destined to be his, Mo Kui’s.

Of course, he might very well become a puppet controlled by the Qingshan Association, obedient to their commands, doing whatever they ask of him.

What of it? That’s still better than losing completely as he is now.

Being a superficially glorious puppet is much better than being a complete and utter failure.

Mo Hongyan, Xu Qianli, just you wait. Once Mo Kui escapes, your doom is certain!

On Mo Hongyan’s side, she stared coldly and unrelentingly at Mo Kui, sweeping her gaze over the younger members of the Mo Family.

She and her husband had given so much to the Mo Family, taking twenty years to transform it from a third-rate family into the premier powerhouse of Wangdong Province.

These ingratiates, despite reaping countless benefits and wealth even if their legs were broken, were still unsatisfied and dared to betray her. Today, they had all stood against her, wanting to see her downfall.

Fortunately, Xu Qianli stepped in, or else they would have succeeded.

Luckily, Mo Yudie was able to meet Xu Qianli and bring him into the Mo Family—it was truly a great fortune for her.

Now, she held the initiative and was bound to win.

From now on, no one could snatch the position of Mo Family Master from her.

But what should be done about these Mo Family youths?

"Xu Qianli, how do you plan on dealing with them, especially Mo Kui and Mo Hai? They just tried to kill us; we absolutely must not let them off lightly!"

On the surface, Xu Qianli asked how to deal with these people but specifically mentioned Mo Kui and Mo Hai.

Those two, Mo Hongyan wished they’d be destroyed immediately, saying that she absolutely couldn’t let them off lightly, insisting that Xu Qianli must take tough actions.

Even if they weren’t killed, they at least had to be crippled to ensure they couldn’t do evil again.

Hearing Mo Hongyan’s words, the Mo family’s descendants immediately became tense.

They had been comfortable for years, leading particularly pleasant lives, yet they were still unsatisfied and wanted more.

Mo Kui secretly brought them together, promising them considerable benefits, making them greedy one by one—they all stood by Mo Kui, supporting him in overturning Mo Hongyan.

They thought it was almost a sure thing, but such a big change occurred, leaving Mo Kui ruined and them implicated.

One by one, these people couldn’t mention enough regret; if they had known it would develop to this point, they wouldn’t have followed Mo Kui no matter what.

Previously following Mo Hongyan, they enjoyed the best foods and drinks and could live comfortably even with broken legs.

Why then follow Mo Kui’s misleading words and betray Mo Hongyan?

Now it was done: Mo Kui was overpowered by Mo Hongyan, and his life was in jeopardy.

What about them? They had betrayed Mo Hongyan and didn’t know how she would deal with them.

Many were shivering with fear, full of worry, wishing they could kneel and beg Mo Hongyan for mercy.

The expressions of Mo Kui and Mo Hai were even uglier.

Mo Hai deeply regretted his decision; originally, he was the third-ranking member of the Mo Family, all thanks to Mo Hongyan and her late husband who had elevated him to a high status, an absolute significant figure.

Just to move up one rank and become number two, he decisively betrayed Mo Hongyan and sided with Mo Kui.

Just for one more step forward, he threw caution to the wind, but now faced this dire situation, truly regretting from the bottom of his bones.

No, he couldn’t just leave it to fate. Mo Hai quickly changed his expression, raised his hand, and furiously slapped himself several times, looking eagerly at Mo Hongyan.

"Madam, I was wrong, I, Mo Hai, am not a human, for I believed Mo Kui’s slander and was duped, standing on his side. Thankfully, I have not yet made a grave mistake, and there is still room for rectification. I know I was wrong, and I beg you to consider the old master’s regard and grant me a chance for redemption."

"If you spare me this once, I swear, I’ll serve you faithfully like a dog. And regarding Mo Kui, if you hand him over to me, I’ll help you eliminate him and his influence, ensuring his complete downfall. I guarantee no one in the Mo Family can threaten your position from now on."

"I can continue managing the Mo Family for you, ensuring even greater prosperity. You know my abilities, madam. With my help, the Mo Family will inevitably shine brighter and might even expand beyond Wangdong Province to reach Beijing and become one of its distinguished families..."

Mo Hai pleaded incessantly, trying to sweet-talk Mo Hongyan in desperation.

He wasn’t only trying to save his life but also maintain his wealth, status, and position in the Mo Family at all costs.

Mo Kui, hearing this, wasn’t pleased and shouted aloud, "You damn bastard, pushing everything onto me and even plotting against me, you are worse than a pig or dog! Don’t forget, it was you who instigated me to strike against Mo Hongyan. You are the mastermind. My current plight is all because of you, you son of a bitch, and you dare to bite back at me, I’ll kill you!"

Mo Hai retorted, "Mo Kui, don’t slander me, it was all your doing; I was the one misled by you. How dare you throw dirt on me; you’re not a human! Damn it, stop struggling, given the situation now, you’re definitely doomed, don’t think of dragging me down with you!"

The two started a dog-eat-dog fight, shouting and accusing each other viciously.

"Enough!" Xu Qianli bellowed, interrupting the two and cast a cold glance at the Mo family members, "Today’s matter is fundamentally a family affair of the Mo Family. Since it is a family affair, it shall be left to the Mo Family Master to decide."
