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

Chapter 77: The Tree is Tall and Deep-Rooted! (Part 2, 45)

Chen Mo looked at Big Beard Su Daquan and said, "Very well, from now on, you and Haizi should manage the entertainment industry around here properly. Also, keep an eye on the venues near Modu University, don't let anyone cause trouble here. As for the labor fees we used to collect, we won't collect them anymore. And in the future, don't go out and do any illegal activities for me. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it. With the profits from these entertainment industries, it should be enough for you to live comfortably. For now, continue with the previous business projects. Later, I will have a big construction plan that will require a lot of manpower, and I will need you then. By the way, gather all the people under you and let them know who their boss is from now on."

Chen Mo couldn't help but wonder, once all the members of the Tiger Group are under his command, how much reward will he receive? He only accepted the Tiger Group because he saw trouble on Su Ya's side and temporarily had the idea to take them in. Unexpectedly, it gave him a clear idea and pointed out the future direction.

However, subduing the Tiger Group was not as simple as dealing with Ah Hu alone. Ah Hu was just working under the Hong family, and the various industries in this area were also controlled by the Hong family. To fully take over, the Hong family needed to be dealt with.

But getting rid of the Hong family wouldn't be as simple as dealing with Ah Hu. The Hong family was one of the top ten powerful groups in Modu, controlling a large number of industries. Disturbing the Hong family would attract a group of people who wanted a piece of the cake. If Chen Mo acted rashly, he would probably end up being used as a scapegoat.

To deal with the Hong family, he needed to find good allies first and discuss with them how to take advantage of the information gap to swallow up the collapsed Hong family.

After considering it, Chen Mo decided to talk to Du Renyuan and Zhao Yue. Although Zhao Yue didn't have much say in the Yellow Robe Society, with his relationship with Du Renyuan, Chen Mo believed that Zhao Yue should be able to persuade the people in the Yellow Robe Society.

Thinking of this, he decided to directly find Du Renyuan and talk to him in the Mingyuan residential area.

But then he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten Du Renyuan's contact information. He only had the contact information of Du Zihang and Du Zixi.

Chen Mo thought that girls might sleep in a little later in the morning, so he called Du Zihang.

At this moment, Du Zihang was leisurely reading a book.

His father had stood up again, and he wasn't as busy as before. He could finally enjoy the life of a second-generation rich kid.

As the phone rang, Du Zihang immediately picked it up and checked, "Huh? It's a call from Doctor Chen. Does my father need a second treatment?" He answered the phone right away.

"Hello, Doctor Chen, good morning."

"Young Master Du, I have something I want to discuss with your father. I don't have his contact information, can you give it to me?"

Upon hearing this, Du Zihang became curious. What could be the reason for Doctor Chen to personally find his father to talk? He quickly remembered the strange murder case near the Mingyuan residential area that he had just heard about. But he didn't ask too much and directly gave Chen Mo the phone number.

Then, he walked quickly to his father's study.

At this moment, Du Renyuan was organizing reports from his subordinates.

When he saw Du Zihang come in, he immediately smiled and said, "Didn't you say you could handle the matter yourself and take a day off? Why are you here to help me without resting for a day?"

Du Zihang smiled and said, "No, it's just that Doctor Chen called just now and said he wants to talk to you. I don't know what it's about, so I wanted to let you know in advance. I guess it might be related to the murder case near the Mingyuan residential area."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing that Chen Mo wanted to find him, Du Renyuan's expression immediately became more serious.

Sure enough, as soon as Du Zihang finished speaking, Chen Mo's phone rang.

"Hello, Dr. Chen, why are you in such a hurry to find me early in the morning? Is there something important?" Du Renyuan immediately asked with concern.

If it was a matter of protection, he could immediately assign skilled personnel to protect Chen Mo without hesitation.

"I have something to discuss with you. Do you have time, Chairman Du? When can you come to Mingyuan Residential Area for a face-to-face meeting?"

"Oh? Need a meeting? Is it urgent? If it's urgent, I can come over now."

"It's somewhat urgent," Chen Mo replied with a smile.

"Alright, I'll come over right away."

Although Chen Mo didn't say what the matter was, when Du Renyuan heard that he wanted him to go to Mingyuan Residential Area, he felt that it might be related to the recent murder case near the residential area.

But did he really need to go there in person?

Du Renyuan felt that Chen Mo must have some other intentions.

He immediately tidied up and said, "I'm going to Mingyuan Residential Area. You handle things here for now."

"Huh? Going to Mingyuan Residential Area?" Du Zihang seemed surprised.

At this moment, Du Zixi walked over and said, "Dad, why are you going to Mingyuan Residential Area?"

"Dr. Chen called me and wanted to talk to me about something. I'm going to see what it is."

"I see. Then I'll drive you there."

Du Renyuan glanced at Du Zixi and smiled, "Alright, Zihang, you continue to handle the affairs here."

After contacting Du Renyuan, Chen Mo left Love Sea KTV. He entrusted the remaining matters to Haozi and Su Daquan.

Su Daquan was the second-in-command of the Tiger Team. After Ahu and Skull Ghost were killed, he became the highest-ranking person in the Tiger Team. With the clever-minded Haozi by his side, it was relatively easy to handle the follow-up matters.

However, they could only stabilize the situation temporarily. If Chen Mo didn't act quickly enough and the Hong family found out that something had happened to Ahu, more trouble would follow.

The morning classes were not important to Chen Mo, so he only attended them based on his mood.

Now that there was an important matter, he immediately returned to Mingyuan Residential Area.

On the way back, he also saw a crowd of people gathered and discussing something near the residential building.

They were obviously discussing the five assassins.

Chen Mo ignored them and went straight back to Mingyuan Residential Area, arriving at Zhao Yue's house.

"Ding dong."

Not long after Chen Mo pressed the doorbell, Zhao Yue opened the door.

"Momo, didn't you go to school?" Zhao Yue asked in surprise when she saw Chen Mo.

"I had something come up halfway, so I came back."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yue immediately pulled Chen Mo closer and carefully examined him from head to toe.

"What are you doing, Yuejie?" Chen Mo asked curiously.

"I'm checking to see if you're injured. The five bodies found in the alleys of the residential area are members of the Seagull Squad. They are experts."

He unexpectedly died near my Mingyuan neighborhood for no apparent reason. If you say you have nothing to do with it, I absolutely won't believe it."

Zhao Yue looked at Chen Mo with a "you can't fool me" expression.

When she received the relevant information earlier, she was terrified until her subordinates said they saw Chen Mo safe and sound near the commercial street near the Magic City University. Only then did she feel relieved.

Seeing Zhao Yue's words, Chen Mo could only smile and say, "Alright, you can see through everything. It is indeed related to me, but I won't mention the details for now. I have invited President Du to come here. We will discuss more important matters."

"You called President Du to come here?" Zhao Yue looked at Chen Mo in surprise. "What important matters require his presence?"

"You'll know when he arrives." Chen Mo smiled mysteriously and entered Zhao Yue's home. "Yuejie made flower tea again, it smells so good."

Zhao Yue was accustomed to making a pot of flower tea in the morning. Chen Mo immediately poured himself a cup and said, "Yuejie, why didn't you prepare any nuts? How can you drink flower tea without melon seeds and peanuts?"

"You little brat, acting like you're at your own home. You even give orders. This pot of flower tea is quite valuable, so drink it sparingly." Zhao Yue took out a bag of melon seeds and jokingly scolded.

"Of course it's like my own home." After drinking two sips of tea, Chen Mo smiled and pulled Zhao Yue to sit down. He patted her shoulder and said, "As a good little brother, I'll give you a massage. Is it worth a cup of flower tea?"

"If it's a yearly subscription, it'll barely be enough." Zhao Yue laughed.

The two of them chatted and laughed, and a considerable amount of time quickly passed.

Just as they had eaten half a bag of melon seeds, Du Zixi's phone call came.

"Hello, Chen Mo, we've arrived. Which building are you in?"

"I'm at Yuejie's house. Just come directly to Yuejie's house. You came here yesterday." Chen Mo replied with a smile.

"You guys? Did you invite both Du Renyuan and Du Zixi?" Zhao Yue glanced at Chen Mo and said, "You little brat, are you trying to matchmake us?"

"What are you talking about? I only invited Du Renyuan. Zixi should have come on her own, not because of me."

"Oh, you even invited Zixi. It seems like you're really interested in that girl from the Du family."

Chen Mo helplessly smiled and said, "A beautiful lady and a good match for a gentleman. Zixi is beautiful and comes from a good family. There's nothing wrong with being interested in her."

"You're admitting it so openly."

"Ding dong!" As the doorbell rang, Zhao Yue kicked Chen Mo and said, "Go and open the door for your little wife."

"Yuejie, why are you acting jealous? I haven't seen you act like this with any other girl." Chen Mo laughed.

"Because other girls won't try to take you away from your sister like you're their own." Zhao Yue laughed and scolded.

"Well, rest assured, no one can take you, my silly little brother, away from your good sister." After patting Zhao Yue's shoulder, Chen Mo said with a smile and went to open the door.

Upon hearing his words, Zhao Yue's beautiful eyes flickered, lost in thought.

"Mr. Du, Zixi, you've worked hard to come all this way. Please come in." Chen Mo said, stepping aside.

Although Chen Mo was the one who opened the door, Zhao Yue also walked over.

If it was just Du Zixi coming, she could have chosen not to greet her, but now that Du Renyuan himself had come, no matter how she thought about it, she was Du Renyuan's junior. When an elder comes to your home as a guest, she naturally had no reason to sit still.

"Hello, Uncle Du."

"Little Yue, it's been quite a while since we last saw each other after your father left."

"Come in first, let's talk inside." Zhao Yue smiled gracefully and said.

Du Renyuan nodded and entered Zhao Yue's home together with Du Zixi.

At this moment, there were dozens of security forces gathered around the Mingyuan community.

On one side were those protecting Zhao Yue, and on the other side were those protecting Du Renyuan.

Both sides were not entirely clear about the situation inside, but they knew that everyone was still considered friends, so there was no need to be too nervous. They quietly guarded the surroundings.

As Du Renyuan and Du Zixi arrived, Chen Mo poured them each a cup of flower tea and said, "Have a cup of tea first."

After saying that, he sat back next to Zhao Yue.

At this point, Du Renyuan took the initiative to speak, "Dr. Chen, did you call me here because it's related to the murder case near the Mingyuan community?

I have basically investigated the identities of these five people. They are all members of the Seagull Team, considered experts among experts in the industry. They are quite famous and have decent strength.

For them to be silently wiped out like this, it's likely that it was the work of Elder Wei's people."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Yue immediately looked at Chen Mo. She was also quite curious about this matter.

But in the end, they could only speculate like Du Renyuan and believe that it was Elder Wei's doing.

"It's not because of this matter. Just treat it as if nothing happened."

With Chen Mo's words, it seemed that he was admitting that the matter was related to Elder Wei.

So Du Renyuan and Zhao Yue were both sensible and didn't dwell on this matter any further.

"I wonder what you called me here for then?" Du Renyuan couldn't help but become curious.

If it wasn't for the matter of these five assassins, what else could make Chen Mo find him so early in the morning?

It couldn't be something unimportant, otherwise he wouldn't have done so.

Du Zixi and Zhao Yue also looked at Chen Mo with curiosity.

Chen Mo glanced at Zhao Yue and Du Renyuan and said, "I called Mr. Du here to discuss the plan of combining the forces of the Qing Society and the Yellow Robe Society to swallow the Hong family."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other three looked at Chen Mo as if they had seen a ghost.

The Hong family was not an easy target. They were a top-tier conglomerate, with a history almost as long as that of the Qing Society and the Yellow Robe Society. In terms of strength, they were only slightly weaker than the Qing Society and even stronger than the Yellow Robe Society.

Such a conglomerate couldn't be easily swallowed. If it were that simple, they would have done it long ago.

It was precisely because they couldn't do it that the Hong family had become deeply rooted in Shanghai.

It was difficult enough to swallow the Hong family back then, and now it was even harder.

Especially since the Hong family had connections and mutual assistance with the Tang family and some other conglomerates in the imperial capital, it was even more difficult to eliminate them easily.

Therefore, when Chen Mo said this, Du Renyuan and Zhao Yue felt that it was not feasible. For so many years, she had only planned to uncover and sever the hidden hands of the conglomerates in the imperial capital.

She had never thought about the possibility of overthrowing the Hong family.

Chen Mo was even bolder and more direct than she had planned, which naturally surprised her.

She was very curious why Chen Mo suddenly came up with such a bold and unrealistic idea.

Du Renyuan glanced at Zhao Yue and said, "Dr. Chen, I know that the recent assassin incident has made you feel a great sense of crisis.

But what you don't know is how deeply rooted the Hong family is in Shanghai. The current Hong family cannot be easily swallowed by just the Qing Society and the Yellow Robe Society.

Not to mention that the Yellow Robe Society is just a facade."
