The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 146, Ambush (First Watch)

Li Mochan tapped the tabletop lightly, producing a faint noise, "That will depend on what Big Boss Chu decides to do."

In an unnoticeable fashion, he had kicked the problem back.

Chu Chen, "..."

Fuck.

If he could just start a fight, he really wanted to have it out with him right now.

So black-hearted.

"Fifty percent." Saying these words, he felt like his heart was bleeding.

Li Mochan raised an eyebrow, "It seems that Big Boss Chu still hasn’t grasped my meaning."

Chu Chen almost wanted to swear out loud. Was it really necessary to be so ruthless over just delaying the delivery by one day?

If he was capable, Li Mochan shouldn’t go after his cabbages.

His grandpa’s.

Allowing him a four-point concession was equivalent to giving away half of the goods for free, then he’d definitely be at a loss.

The atmosphere was tense and at a deadlock; it was most likely going to be a drawn-out battle.

...

Resort

Without having dinner, Xiang Tian and a bunch of guys organized a barbecue party.

A group of men were busy working, while Ye Jiuliang and Baona, being the only girls, were left idle by the side.

"Boss, have a drink." Baona handed over a bottle of juice and then sat down next to her.

Ye Jiuliang took it, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip.

"Boss, you really like Mr. Li, don’t you?" Baona suddenly asked.

Ye Jiuliang tilted her head, her lips curling into a beautiful arc, "What makes you think that?"

Baona smiled, "Because I’m a girl too. You can’t hide the look of liking someone. Every time you’re with Mr. Li, your eyes sparkle like stars, and when Mr. Li teases you, you even blush."

The boss they knew would definitely have no clue what feeling shy or blushing was.

Ye Jiuliang put her fist to her lips and coughed lightly, "Not at all."

She did not blush and feel shy at all. It was Li Mochan who was easily shy.

"Boss, try these while they’re hot." Gao Yang brought over two plates and set them down on the table in front of them.

Ye Jiuliang pinched one end of a skewer, picking up a chicken leg.

So fragrant.

She bit into it, savoring the crisp taste in her mouth.

By this time, Li Mochan and Achen should have already met.

She wondered how the negotiation was going.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Ye?" A gentle voice sounded beside her.

Ye Jiuliang turned to look; it was a young girl dressed in the resort’s waitress uniform.

She nodded slightly, "What’s the matter?"

"Someone asked me to give this to you." The girl handed over an envelope with both hands.

Ye Jiuliang put down the chicken leg and reached for the envelope.

She checked it, but there were no markings on it.

"Who asked you to deliver this?"

The girl shook her head, "It was a middle-aged man, but he’s already gone."

After finishing, the girl bent slightly and then turned to leave.

Ye Jiuliang frowned, tore open the envelope, and found only a light fluttering piece of paper inside.

Dropping the envelope, she opened it and her eyes suddenly darkened.

[Li Mochan is in danger.]

She stood up abruptly, her complexion grim.

"Boss, what’s wrong?" Noticing that Ye Jiuliang was upset, Baona asked softly.

Ye Jiuliang crumpled the paper in her hand, "I’ve got some business to take care of. You guys keep having fun, I’ll be back later."

With that, she swiftly left.

Baona scratched her head, wondering what was wrong with the boss.

Walking a little further away, Ye Jiuliang took out her phone and dialed Chu Chen’s number.

However, after calling twice in succession, nobody picked up; the phone was turned off.

Upon hanging up, she pressed Li Mochan’s mobile number.

This time the call went through, but still, no one answered.

What were these two up to?

She furrowed her brows, borrowed a motorcycle from the hotel, and rode away.

...

"Master Li, if you insist on four o’clock, I’m afraid this deal might fall through," Chu Chen said with a cold look in his eyes and a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.

That damned Li Mochan, utterly ruthless, did he really think their K organization was a soft persimmon to be squeezed at will?

Yu Wei by his side glanced quickly at Li Mochan and shivered.

This was the second person who could choke his boss, Chu Chen, to this extent.

The first was their Master Jiu, and the second was now the man in charge of Dark Hall.

Oddly, he felt as if Li Mochan’s demeanor at the negotiating table was almost carved from the same mold as Master Jiu.

"Whether it falls through, the decision power lies in your hands, Chu," Li Mochan said, his indifferent eyes pausing slightly as he spoke in a clear, unhurried tone.

Chu Chen was about to explode in anger, almost ready to grab a wine glass and throw it at someone.

Decision power, my ass.

The bastard was playing coy after taking advantage.

"Li Mochan, don’t push it."

Meeting his gaze, Li Mochan curled his lips and said, "The decision power was given to you, Chu. Where’s the question of me overstepping?"

Chu Chen stared at him and, reminded of something, laughed out of sheer anger.

"I heard that Master Li, who has always steered clear of women, has recently taken quite an interest in a young girl. Why didn’t you bring her along today?" he said with a sardonic smile.

"Could it be that Master Li’s domineering nature scared the young lady away?"

When the cub he held dear was mentioned, Li Mochan immediately turned pale, "No need for you to worry about that, Chu. We’ve talked about this business long enough. If you’re not willing to agree, then take your goods and leave."

That was, if he had the ability to snatch the goods back from him.

A terrifying presence enveloped the private room, and the oppressive atmosphere made it hard to breathe.

Yu Wei was alarmed; it seemed his boss, Chu Chen, had angered Master Li.

And it was all because of a young girl.

Dark eyes clashed with cold ones, the tension sharply escalating.

"Bang—"

The window was broken, glass shards scattering.

Li Mochan kicked the table, using the momentum to dodge backward along with the chair beneath him.

"Master."

Wei Nan dodged to the side and, turning his head, saw the bullet that missed its mark on the ground, his expression suddenly changing.

His first thought was that Chu Chen had set up a trap to ambush them.

Chu Chen stood up, his gaze retreating from the window, "Yu Wei, what’s going on?"

Yu Wei pressed the Bluetooth in his ear and spoke in a grave tone, "Boss, it’s an ambush."

"Chu Chen, what do you mean by this, hiding and attacking us, despicable and shameless." Wei Nan, having finished the call from Wei Bei, looked at Chu Chen with an ugly expression.

Chu Chen’s expression darkened, and just as he was about to speak, the door of the private room was suddenly burst open, and people charged in.

Without a word, they all rushed towards Li Mochan.

"Master, you go first." Wei Nan shielded Li Mochan, waved his hand, and a colorless, odorless powder dispersed into the air.

Instantly, the men in black softened and collapsed in a heap, unconscious.

Before they could catch their breath, another wave of men in black surged in, their target still Li Mochan.

"Li Mochan, catch," Chu Chen called out in a deep voice.

An ice-cold gun traced a chilling parabola through the air, which Li Mochan caught with ease.

His eyes turned frosty as he grabbed one of the unconscious men in black as a shield, and shot back at the group of assailants. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Bang, bang, bang—"

"Boss, what’s happening?" Yu Wei watched as only Li Mochan and Wei Nan were being attacked, confusion etched on his face.
