Chapter 365: Chapter 364: 364, everyone is a businessman

“Pfft.” Mo Weiyi couldn’t help but laugh, his delicate brows arching in a victorious grin, “So, Qi, you bribed Dr. Liu and even faked an injury report in order to defame our Mo family? You’re quite the dreamer. Unfortunately, your plans can’t match the will of heaven. What else do you have to say?” Qi Linwang stayed silent, his face stern.

He knew such matters couldn’t be hidden for long.

However, he had almost finalized the deal for that piece of land with the Mo Family, only awaiting final contract signing and the payment of the balance.

If he revoked the agreement due to last night’s club incident, as the purchaser, the Qi Family would have to pay a considerable amount in breach of contract penalties.

Just two days ago, Huangyou Investment approached them for a collaboration on the same property, offering a price twice that of the Mo Family. That’s why he resorted to this tactic.

He could exert pressure on the Mo Family with this, making them pay the price for their assault and humiliation of Qi Yi!

On the other hand, he could establish a partnership with Huangyou Investment to reap higher profits.

Totally killing two birds with one stone!

He also knew that the Mo Family’s image had greatly improved over the past few years since the old man withdrew from the underworld.

Since Xiao Yebai took charge, he downsized staff, restructured internally, and the Mo Family now only conducted legitimate business, without partaking in the underworld dealings.

So, he decided to exploit this matter, leaving the Mo Family in a tough spot. But he never expected Mo Weiyi to directly expose him with the deputy head of the hospital.

Mo Weiyi then turned to a certain person on the hospital bed, pretending to be sick, “Mister Qi, have you not feigned death long enough yet? Why, still unwilling to get up?”

Finally unable to take it, Qi Yi, like a mummy, sprung up.

This scared both Su Wanwan and Nangong Ci.

Then, they saw Qi Yi with his head all bandaged, cursing vociferously, “Fucking bitch! So what if I have no concussion? The fact remains that you hurt me last night! Everyone in the club can testify for me! What, you still expect our Qi Family to continue cooperating with your Mo Family? No way!”

Mo Weiyi clenched her fists, her cheeks flushed with rage, “Scum like you, our Mo family wouldn’t stoop low to collaborate with!”

“Miss Mo!” Qi Linwang’s face contorted with rage, “Remember you said that.” “Yeah, so what if I did? Our Mo Family refuses to partner with you, to save ourselves from getting our hands dirty! Disgraceful!”

“In that case, let’s sit down and talk about the breach of contract.”

“Breach of contract? What do you mean?”

Qi Linwang smirked triumphantly, “The previous deal was all but done, we signed an agreement then. If either party backs out, they will face ten times the penalty.”

“Ten times?” Mo Weiyi was taken aback.

Though she didn’t understand business, but…

The Mo family’s current partnership deals started from at least tens of millions, ten times the amount, then?

She suddenly realised, had she again done something wrong?

It was no wonder that despite knowing the Qi family’s trap, Mo Yaoxiong did not want to pick a fight. Ah…all was lost….

Su Wanwan also sensed that something was amiss, rushing to whisper, “Weiyi, stop talking now, let your husband handle this.”

Mo Weiyi quickly nodded in agreement.

Qi Linwang sneered, “Miss Mo, are you scared now?”

Mo Weiyi remained silent.

Qi Yi then started ranting, “Bitch, you injured me like this, if you don’t kneel and apologise, I swear I’ll not let you off!”

Mo Weiyi continued to be silent, only staring at him furiously.

Qi Yi grew more brazen. “What? Still not convinced? Don’t think it ends here, you bitch. I’ve said my piece. If you don’t kneel and apologize to me, I’ll see you in court!”

“You…” Mo Weiyi was so angry his teeth itched. “Shameless!”

Nangong Ci’s expression darkened further. “Mr. Qi, this is a hospital. If you continue yelling, I’ll have you thrown out immediately!”

“I’m the patient and you are the doctor. Dare to drive me out, huh? You believe me or not, I can summon reporters here and put Nangong Hospital in the headlines!” Qi Yi showed his unprincipled nature on the spot.

Su Wanwan felt a headache developing.

She couldn’t believe that the so-called high society was also filled with such shameless barbarity.

“Xiaowu, escort him out and call security.” Nangong Ci ordered decisively.

Dr. Liu hurriedly began pleading, “Dean, I was wrong! I was just confused for a moment! He forced the money on me, I wasn’t aware of it! Dean, please give me another chance. I promise next time…”

“And you think there is going to be a next time?”

Nangong Ci found his anger rising again. He lifted his leg and kicked Dr. Liu

hard on his backside. “Get packing and get out!”

The secretary’s head was spinning as he dragged Dr. Liu out with him.

The vice-dean normally was good-tempered. Why was he being so volatile today? It’s as if he’d eaten a round of bullets…

The door opened, revealing a man standing outside.

It was Xiao Yebai.

He was dressed in a dark shirt and black pants. Over his dark woolen sweater, he wore a tailored black suit.

His high-bridged nose supported a pair of plain glasses. With fair skin and handsome features, he looked refined and elegant.

“Xiaobai.” Mo Weiyi rushed over, looking upset and pulling at his arm. “You’re here.”

Xiao Yebai furrowed his brows. Behind his glasses, a pair of sharp eyes darted over the people in the hospital room. A flicker of cold light in them vanished in an instant.

Mo Weiyi nervously began to explain in a low voice, “They had a doctor produce a fake injury report, so I found the vice-dean of this hospital. But Xiaobai, they’re saying they want to breach the contract. What should we do?” “I understand.” Xiao Yebai turned to Su Wanwan, his voice calm and low. “Miss Su, could you please take Weiyi outside?”

Su Wanwan hurried forward. “Weiyi, let’s go outside and wait.”

Now, she finally understood: it was best not to get involved with business affairs. Or else it would only lead to more trouble.

Mo Weiyi had no choice but to leave with Su Wanwan.

As soon as the door closed, Qi Linwang sneered, “Mr. Xiao, if you’ve come to discuss the matter of the West City plot of land, you may leave now! If you’re here to apologize for last night’s incident, let me tell you, unless Mrs. Xiao kneels and admits her mistakes…”

“I’ve just sent a video to Mr. Qi. Wouldn’t Mr. Qi like to watch it?” Xiao Yebai interrupted him dispassionately.

Qi Linwang furrowed his brows.

At a time like this, what was he supposed to watch in a video?

“The protagonist of the video…” With thin lips curving into a cold smile, Xiao Yebai spoke leisurely. “He’s your respected son.”

At the mention of this, Qi Linwang immediately reached for his phone and clicked on the video. Immediately, a bizarre moaning sound could be heard. “Oh Qi… you’re so good…”

“Qi… Oh… Ah…”

Aroused cries from two women made Qi Linwang’s eyes widen in shock. His face reddened into the color of a pig’s liver as he scrambled to stop the video.

A look of surprise and fear also flashed in Qi Yi’s eyes. Before he could react, Qi Linwang had already rushed over and slapped him across the face. “Bastard! When did this happen!”

Touching his bandaged face, Qi Yi stalled as he tried to explain, “No… Dad, it’s that Xiao son of a bitch framing me. The man in the video isn’t me…”

“You think I’m blind? Can’t recognize my own son?” Veins bulged on Qi Linwang’s forehead in rage.

He had pampered his only precious son since he was a child.

Now the boy was twenty-four, two years out of university, but he still only knew how to eat, drink, and be merry, completely neglecting his responsibilities.

It was a rare occurrence for him to start getting involved in company affairs, yet someone managed to take a private video of him, and he just had to be with two women?

The most humiliating part was that Xiao Yebai was now using this video to blackmail him.

Xiao Yebai looked indifferent, his tone just as calm, “I get it. We’re all businessmen here. Huangyou has extended an olive branch to give you a little more profit, so it’s hard to resist. However, is it worth letting your own son’s scandal make the news for just a little bit of gain? I wonder how Qi Yi will feel about his father then?”

The color drained from Qi Linwang’s face bit by bit.

“If this video were to be leaked to the media…”

“No way!” Qi Linwang stepped forward, forcing a smile onto his face, “Mr. Xiao, can we negotiate this?”

He had heard rumors that the son-in-law of the Mo Family was quite good at doing business.

But he would never believe that Xiao Yebai could find such a highly concealed video in less than half a day.

Perhaps from the moment he planned to collaborate with the Mo Family, Xiao Yebai had started collecting all this damaging information in private?

Cunning!

Prepared for everything!

Brutal!

Too brutal!

He thought he had all bases covered to blackmail the Mo Family, only to realize that his own secrets had already been exposed.

Xiao Yebai casually handed over another document, “Mr. Qi, please take a look at this one.”

With trembling hands, Qi Linwang took the document. His face, which had

been fairly red before, turned pale in an instant.

It was a record of his bribery to the head of the Land Bureau.

Every transaction was clearly recorded.

The payer, the payee, the date of receipt… Everything was perfectly clear. “The incident of assaulting Qi Yi was indeed an impulsive act by my wife. Mr. Qi, rest assured, all the medical expenses and hospitalization fees will be fully covered by the Mo Family,” said Xiao Yebai calmly again.

Right after that, he handed over a second document, “This is the contract you didn’t have time to sign last night.”

Qi Yi couldn’t hold back anymore and rushed over, “Dad! Don’t sign the contract with them…”

“Bastard!” Qi Linwang was furious, and he slapped his son again, “Just shut your mouth!”

Qi Yi was tremendously frustrated, but with no countermeasures, he could only watch as Qi Linwang picked up a pen and signed his name on the contract.

**

In the corridor.

Su Wanwan checked the time, “Weiyi, I need to go to school, otherwise I’ll be late.”

Mo Weiyi, “Okay, you go ahead.”

Nangong Ci immediately chimed in, “Little sister-in-law, let me take you.”

“You?” Su Wanwan looked at him, “Didn’t you just say you were going back to take a nap?”

“I’ll drop you off on the way.”

He had to be super helpful to his little sister-in-law!

Then he could take the credit from his older brother!

So thought Nangong Ci.

“Alright then.”

Time was indeed running out, and taking a taxi or the bus might cause her to be late. Su Wanwan didn’t want to be late, and so she had no choice but to leave with Nangong Ci.

Then she saw that gaudy red sports car.

Su Wanwan recalled how she ran into Huo Jingshen at the airport because of that car. Back then it was…

Ah-hem.

A bit awkward.

Getting into the car, Nangong Ci let out a loud whistle, “Let’s go!”

The sports car roared out, speeding like lightning and drawing the attention of

all the bystanders. It was unapologetically flashy.

Su Wanwan was speechless.

Fabulous.

You really are the most flamboyant doctor I have ever met!

**

Freaking hell!

Nangong Ci’s eyes widened instantly and he started furiously typing, [No, I didn’t, stop talking nonsense!]

Three denials straight out of the gate.

Lu Chenyu: [Student sister?]

Nangong Ci: [Lu Xiaosi, did you take the wrong medication today? Why are you so talkative?]

But it’s too late, he saw a dark icon suddenly appear in the WeChat group, and then…

Huo Jingshen: [?]

Nangong Ci hurriedly explained, [Big brother, your wife came to the hospital to ask for my help today. I kindly drove her to school. Please don’t misunderstand!]

Huo Jingshen: [My wife needs you to drive her to school?]

Ming Jing: [Can big brother no longer drive? Or is big brother unable to carry his forty-meter long sword?]

Nangong Ci could only admit his mistake: [Big brother, I was wrong. Would a red packet as an apology do?]

Damn, he originally wanted to take credit, but ended up having to pay an apology of two hundred.

Thought that was the end?

Lu Chenyu: [Your red packet is too small, lacks sincerity.]

Nangong Ci was angry, [Chenyu, can you shut your mouth?!]

Lu Chenyu: [Angry enough to die of shame?]

Nangong Ci: [I’ll bite you to death!]

Lu Chenyu: [Threatening words?]

Nangong Ci: […]

Impossible to argue with a top lawyer!

Irritating!

Angry!

Want to scratch someone!
