The System Is One Year Ahead Of Schedule, But It’S Not The End Of The World Yet!

Chapter 68: Saving one person, provoking two murderous intents! (Three in one)

[With the arrival of the harmonious divine beast in this world, the three major forces blessed by the divine beast may change their names to Du Yuan Group, Zhao Group, and Hongyun Group.]

Last night, Chen Mo slept soundly, but Shanghai was not peaceful.

Early in the morning, angry roars could be heard from the Tang family.

Tang San looked at the report from his subordinates, feeling furious.

"I thought that delaying for a day and letting him live and jump around for another day wouldn't be a big deal. But now, it has caused me so much trouble!"

Tang San regretted not immediately using the reinforcements he had brought to deal with Chen Mo.

After Du Renyuan's retreat behind the scenes, the Tang and Hong families were desperately infiltrating the Qing Society.

After much effort, they had finally made some progress, but Du Renyuan suddenly appeared, rendering all their efforts in vain.

How could he not be angry about this?

Unlike other groups, Du Renyuan had already established absolute authority within his own group. As long as he could stand up, he could easily sweep away all the troubles within the group with thunderous force and firmly hold power.

And that's exactly what happened last night.

The first thing Du Renyuan did after standing up was to conduct a major purge within the Qing Society.

In just one night, the Qing Society once again became a one-man show under Du Renyuan's control.

This was the benefit brought by his accumulated prestige.

Previously, the Tang family didn't know whether Du Renyuan was really incapable or pretending to be sick, so they were cautious and slow in infiltrating the Qing Society.

But after Chen Mo went to Du's residence yesterday and Du Renyuan immediately stood up, it was clear that Du Renyuan had been one hundred percent sick before!

If Tang San had taken care of Chen Mo earlier, Du Renyuan would not have had the chance to stand up again, and the Tang and Hong families would have almost completely swallowed up at least a quarter of the Qing Society's industry.

Although Du Renyuan had five adopted children, because they were adopted, their status and age difference from the uncles in the Qing Society were too great.

Once Du Renyuan fell, it would be difficult for them to have any say in the Qing Society.

After all, Du Renyuan's authority was based on his own prestige. If he fell, his children would not have the prestige to control the situation.

As long as he didn't fall, even if he retreated behind the scenes, he could easily suppress the situation with his remaining influence.

Because although Du Zihang and the others didn't have prestige, as long as they added a sentence before their actions, "This is what father instructed, this is father's idea, this is father's arrangement..."

These few words were enough to elevate the weight of their every word in front of their uncles.

After all, as long as Du Renyuan didn't die, when they said this, it meant that their identity was just Du Renyuan's mouthpiece.

Every word that followed was Du Renyuan's own intention.

Naturally, no one dared to defy them.

Even if someone had doubts, Du Zihang and the others could directly video call Du Renyuan on the spot to verify.

Although Du Renyuan wanted to keep the truth about his illness hidden by being seriously ill, not looking good, and blocking the news, he didn't need to hide during video calls.

Even during video calls, he didn't bother to put on any makeup to make himself look better, and he answered the video calls with his most authentic sickly appearance.

Who was Du Renyuan?

The people in the Qing Society knew very well.

Such a shrewd character actually voluntarily exposed himself as weak as possible?

No one would be foolish enough not to suspect that Du Renyuan was putting on a show.

After all, he had played this trick for more than a day or two.

He had already played the sick act once before.

This time, he was even more direct. On the surface, he hid away and didn't let anyone investigate the truth of his illness, but during video calls, he didn't hide his sickly appearance at all. What was his purpose? Everyone could see it clearly.

So the more he appeared sickly, the less people believed that he was really sick.

Relying on this virtual and real act, Du Renyuan could easily continue to control the Qing Society from behind the scenes.

This was Du Renyuan's method.

But limited to his own means, as long as he falls, the news of his death will be clear.

Then his deterrent power will be completely gone, and Du Zihang and his siblings will not inherit even a bit of their father's prestige.

So don't be fooled by the fact that Du Renyuan is still able to continue running the Qing Society as the leader even after falling ill. In reality, it still relies on Du Renyuan as a symbol of existence.

As long as Du Renyuan dies from his illness, the Qing Society will inevitably be left without a leader, making it easy for anyone to take advantage of the situation.

But now, the carefully planned scheme, which was supposed to reap great benefits as soon as news of Du Renyuan's death spread, has been completely destroyed by Chen Mo's casual intervention.

Tang San naturally regrets his past actions.

At this moment, his desire to kill Chen Mo has become even stronger.

This kind of divine doctor who is not used for his own benefit but for the benefit of his enemies poses a threat that exceeds imagination.

If he is not eliminated sooner, there will be endless troubles.

"Someone, call those people to start working! And they must do it thoroughly!" Thinking of how Chen Mo ruined his family's plan, Tang San couldn't help but feel an itching hatred.

This guy saved Liu Yuanzong for the first time, causing their Tang family's plan to merge with the Liu family to be greatly hindered.

The second time he saved Du Renyuan, it directly led to the complete failure of their plan to take a share from the Qing Society.

And he also received news that the Qing Society and the Yellow Robe Society suddenly had intentions to cooperate.

This made him even more furious.

If these two guys suddenly join forces, what will happen in the future?

Won't they control seventy percent of the underground world in Shanghai?

He immediately went to find his father, Tang Tianhao, and said, "Father, it seems that the Yellow Robe Society and the Qing Society had deep contact last night. This is troublesome. Zhao Yue somehow found a pretty boy with great skills. With his influence, Zhao Yue may soon regain control of the Yellow Robe Society. We must quickly take advantage of the internal instability of the Yellow Robe Society and accelerate their division."

Tang Tianhao, who was drinking a glass of milk, smiled and looked at Tang San, saying, "I have already ordered someone to do it. Deepening the contact between the Qing Society and the Yellow Robe Society is not a good thing for the Yellow Robe Society. These people are already at odds with each other, fighting for their own interests. Now that they are cooperating with the Qing Society, they all want a piece of the pie. I heard that they were already arguing fiercely last night."

"Do you think their alliance will stabilize the Yellow Robe Society? I think this cooperation with the Qing Society may accelerate their division."

"How long has Zhao Yue been in power? Those guys from the Yellow Robe Society are all focused on their own interests. Will they willingly give up power to her?"

If they want to take advantage of the Qing Society, they must be on good terms with Zhao Yue. But if they are on good terms with Zhao Yue, they won't be willing to give up their power. The contradictory result of this situation will undoubtedly make the internal situation of the Yellow Robe Society even more chaotic.

"We should join forces with the capital and set it on fire. The Yellow Robe Society's split is imminent."

Upon hearing his father's analysis, Tang San couldn't help but brighten up and laugh, saying, "So that's how it can be seen. Father, you truly live up to your reputation. You see farther than I do."

"You still have much to learn, my son. But I also didn't expect Du Renyuan to rise up. I had suspected that he wouldn't make it this time, and I thought we could swallow a part of the Qing Society first. But I didn't expect the opportunity for the Yellow Robe Society to split to come first."

"That kid named Chen Mo has some skills. In just two days, he saved two seriously ill people and brought them back to life immediately. They were in a state where they could jump to the forefront. Is it really impossible to win him over?" Tang Tianhao looked at Tang San and asked.

"Absolutely. Although he came with Liu Qinlan to disrupt our meeting before, which was a small matter and didn't affect my face, it still created a grudge. Plus, we are currently attacking the Liu family on a large scale, and he has a close relationship with Liu Qinlan. We are likely to become mortal enemies. There is definitely no chance of winning him over."

"He's just a woman, right? Although Liu Qinlan is not bad-looking, our Tang family also has beautiful women. Let Tang Xin go and make contact." Tang Tianhao still hoped to win over Chen Mo, as that would be the best outcome.

After all, who can guarantee that they won't get sick in their lifetime?

"It's difficult. Although Tang Xin, my cousin, is also very beautiful, she can't compare to Zhao Yue. That woman has natural charm. When a man sees her, he can't even walk properly. It might be easy to lure that kid away from Liu Qinlan, but I can't think of any woman who can do the same with Zhao Yue."

I heard that Du Renyuan deliberately let Du Zixi get close to that kid, but it doesn't seem to have any significant effect. Even a beauty like Du Zixi can't shake him.

I think any man who has been close to Zhao Yue, even if he is temporarily attracted to other women, it would be difficult to shake his position." Tang San felt that it was impossible.

"If that's the case, then let's do as you say. It's just a pity to lose such a talent." Tang Tianhao sighed and shook his head.

"Unattainable talent is a great disaster! I have already taken action. I believe there will be results soon." Tang San's eyes were filled with killing intent.

"Don't underestimate his current influence. With the protection of the Yellow Robe Society, the Qing Society, and the military, it won't be so simple to make a move against him." Tang Tianhao reminded.

"Understood. That's why I have a backup plan. I have found someone with a terminal illness and given him a settlement fee. He will launch a suicide attack as an ordinary person. I don't believe that any defense force can save him without close protection." Tang San sneered.

"I trust your ability to handle things, but we must be prepared for the aftermath. After all, once we anger these people, we will have to bear their wrath." Tang Tianhao took a sip of milk and said.

"We can rest assured that the capital has given us the green light to take action. They will speed up their arrangements here. And as you said, the Yellow Robe Society has already fallen apart. There is really nothing to fear. The military belongs to the country, not to certain individuals. Even if we anger some of the people inside, they won't be able to do anything to us." Tang San analyzed.

"Well, we still need to make some preparations, but you don't have to worry about these things. I will handle them myself."

On the other side, the Du family.

Du Zihang reported to his father with some surprise.

"Father, it seems like we have unintentionally caused trouble because of the cooperative deal we proposed. The Yellow Robe Society members all want a bigger share for themselves. We argued for a long time last night and it seems like things ended on a sour note. If this continues, the Yellow Robe Society might split apart."

Upon reading the report sent by Du Zihang, Du Renyuan pondered for a moment.

"Although Zhao Yue has delegated power, it's impossible for her to have no influence at all. After all, the Yellow Robe Society was built on loyalty and righteousness. Try to contact the faction that is closer to the Zhao Family and have them mediate. We can also develop our cooperative channels more evenly."

"Understood, I'll take care of it right away."

As Du Zihang left, Du Renyuan couldn't help but contemplate.

Combining recent changes in various factions in the city, he felt that the situation in the city was becoming chaotic.

Inside Mo Du University.

Chu Mengyao, who had returned to the dormitory after a sleepless night, appeared.

The two girls, who had been restless all night, immediately grabbed her anxiously and told her about what happened at noon yesterday.

"What? How could Mu Xiyue know a guy who has connections with Du Zixi? Are you sure you didn't mistake the person?"

"How is that possible? Du Zixi has such a distinctive appearance, we couldn't have mistaken him. If you don't believe it, you can check the surveillance at the entrance. We can't be wrong."

"That's right, and that guy doesn't seem ordinary at all. Du Zixi showed him a lot of respect."

As the two girls spoke, a possibility suddenly flashed through Chu Mengyao's mind.

She quickly asked, "Do you know the name of that guy?"

The two girls immediately recalled and said, "It seems like his name is Chen Mo."

As soon as this name was mentioned, Chu Mengyao immediately believed what the two girls said.

After all, their Chu family also mingled with the upper class in the city. How could they not know that Chen Mo saved Liu Yuanzong and later treated Old Wei? They even heard that Du Zihang went to beg him.

Yesterday, Du Zixi must have come for the same reason.

She immediately searched on her phone and quickly found a news article. It said that the chairman of the Du Yuan Group, Du Renyuan, who had been bedridden for days due to a serious illness, miraculously recovered yesterday and reappeared in public.

Now Chu Mengyao was completely convinced.

At this moment, the two girls beside her anxiously mentioned the words Chen Mo said about settling accounts.

This made Chu Mengyao's mind explode.

"Damn it, how did Mu Xiyue manage to get involved with such a person!"

Seeing Chu Mengyao's shocked expression, the two girls became even more scared.

They cried, "Mengyao, what should we do now? We treated Xiao Yue so badly before. If everything is settled, we're done for."

"What should we do? Calm down! Don't cry. Mu Xiyue hasn't done anything yet. You're scaring yourself. Let me talk to Ah Hong and see how we can handle this!"

The Ah Hong Chu Mengyao mentioned was Kang Hong, also known as Kang Shao, the young master they mentioned before.

The situation had escalated to a point that Chu Mengyao had never expected.

She thought she was just a countryside girl from a poor family who could be bullied at will because she had no power, status, or connections. But unexpectedly, she had managed to get on the bad side of such a difficult person.

At this moment, Chu Mengyao herself was also filled with fear.

However, she didn't know the relationship between Mu Xiyue and Chen Mo, so she didn't know how far Chen Mo would go to seek revenge for Mu Xiyue. She felt there might still be room for negotiation.

At worst, she could compensate Mu Xiyue with some money. Mu Xiyue's family was extremely poor, and she worked temporary jobs every day. As long as she was willing to accept money, she should be able to forgive her.

For Chu Mengyao, any problem that could be solved with money was not a big problem.

Soon, Kang Shao's phone was connected. He had just returned home and was preparing to wash up and sleep when he received a call from his girlfriend. He smiled and said, "What's wrong, baby? Didn't I feed you enough last night? Why are you calling me again after just a short while?"

"Ah Hong, something happened. I accidentally offended someone I shouldn't have offended, and now I don't know what to do." Chu Mengyao's voice trembled.

Just now, she mentioned that the two girls around her loved to cry, but now she was acting like them.

Upon hearing Chu Mengyao's words, Kang Shao also looked shocked.

Who was Chu Mengyao?

She was the young miss of the Chu family, one of the top 20 powerful groups in the city. And she had offended someone she couldn't afford to offend? That meant it must be one of the top few.

He quickly asked, "How did this happen? You know all those people at the top, how could you offend them? Tell me clearly what happened."

Soon, Chu Mengyao recounted the previous events, of course, embellishing the part where she bullied Mu Xiyue and making it seem like Mu Xiyue was in the wrong.

After hearing Chu Mengyao's words, Kang Hong pondered for a moment and said, "Although this Chen Mo saved Du Renyuan and owes a debt of gratitude to the Du family, it's just a favor. The Du family wouldn't go crazy and completely destroy your entire Chu family for him.

Although your Chu family is not as powerful as the Du family, it wouldn't be easy for them to crush you. The Du family would also have to bear some losses."

"That's true, but after all, he saved Du Renyuan, and that favor is too big. It's still possible for the Du family to do anything at all costs to repay him. I'm really scared," Chu Mengyao said tearfully.

"In that case, we can only apologize. As you said, that girl doesn't have much money, so we can compensate her with some money. Don't worry, I have a few million pocket money here. If you don't have enough money, I'll make up for it. Let's find a time to meet this Mu Xiyue you mentioned and show her our attitude. Since Chen Mo is only targeting us because of her, as long as we appease her, Chen Mo won't have a reason to act. We can't handle someone like Chen Mo with words, but can't we handle a country girl like Mu Xiyue? If words don't work in the end, we'll make Chen Mo disappear with our actions!" Kang Hong analyzed.

After hearing his words, Chu Mengyao felt much better.

After hanging up the phone and seeing that Mu Xiyue's bed was empty, she immediately asked, "Where did Mu Xiyue go?"

"That handsome guy named Chen Mo said he was going to rent a house for her outside. I guess she has already moved into the house. After all, most of her things in the dormitory were taken with her. The bedding is all water, so there's no use bringing it back. There's nothing she needs to come back for," Chu Mengyao explained.

"Find a way to contact her and find an opportunity to apologize and compensate her," Chu Mengyao said. The two girls immediately said, "We have her phone number."

Yesterday, they followed Mu Xiyue to her workplace at noon and helped her with the work. They also gained a little favor from Mu Xiyue and managed to get her phone number.

Mu Xiyue is actually a girl who doesn't hold grudges. After the two girls showed clear signs of remorse, Mu Xiyue no longer held any grudges against them.

After obtaining Mu Xiyue's phone number, Chu Mengyao immediately called her.

Although it was early in the morning and there were no classes, Mu Xiyue had already gotten up early, bought some vegetables, and just returned home to cook porridge. She was thinking of waiting for Chen Mo to wake up so she could invite him to her house to have porridge and breakfast.

Suddenly, she received a call from an unfamiliar person, so she curiously answered it.

"Hello, Xiao Yue?"

Hearing a somewhat familiar voice, Mu Xiyue curiously asked, "Who is this?"

"It's Meng Yao, Xiao Yue. I was ignorant before and treated you that way. I want to apologize to you given the chance. Can you give me that opportunity?"

Upon hearing Chu Meng Yao's words, Mu Xiyue immediately recalled Chu Meng Yao's previous actions. She couldn't understand the intention behind Chu Meng Yao's phone call, as it sounded more like mockery. She directly hung up the phone.

This time, Chu Meng Yao was caught off guard.

"She hung up on me." Chu Meng Yao felt panicked.

If it were any other group that Chen Mo had flattered and was slightly weaker, she wouldn't be so panicked.

Even if the group he flattered wasn't weak, as long as it wasn't the kind of group where one person's words dictated everything, the entire group wouldn't blindly follow orders and charge forward, so she wasn't afraid.

After all, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

Many groups have diverse opinions due to interest issues.

So, there wouldn't be many big groups that would wholeheartedly try to destroy the Chu family, which is not weak, just because of one person's words.

But Du Renyuan was different. This guy was a pure representative of a one-man dictatorship. No one in the entire Du Yuan Group dared to defy him. If he said he wanted to take down someone, even if the entire group's strength was exhausted, they would destroy that group.

This was the real reason Chu Meng Yao was truly afraid.

Chen Mo's rescue was too powerful, and she had to be afraid.

Seeing that an apology was hopeless, she immediately said to the two girls beside her, "You said that you helped her with something yesterday, and she didn't drive you away. She even gave you her phone number. It seems that she doesn't have much hatred towards you. Find an opportunity today to help me arrange a meeting with her so that I can apologize to her in person."

Chu Meng Yao was determined to seek forgiveness, otherwise her entire family might be ruined. She was very afraid.

However, despite her fear, she had a more ruthless plan in mind. If Mu Xiyue still refused to forgive her, then she would have to find a way to make that person surnamed Chen disappear, just as Kang Hong had suggested.

His threat was only because he held a huge favor that Du Renyuan had to repay. If he lost everything, then Du Renyuan's favor would no longer need to be repaid, and the root of her fear would be gone.

Chen Mo couldn't have imagined that by saving Du Renyuan, he had ignited the desire to kill him in two people.

At this moment, he had just gotten up, washed up, and was checking his daily rewards.
