Mu Jiu Chen watched her worry about him, his mood inexplicably good. "Don't worry, there's no danger. Who am I, Mu Jiu Chen? Hm~" Mu Jiu Chen pinched her smooth cheek.
...
On the top floor of the most luxurious commercial district in Modu, in a lavish office area, stood two rows of men in black suits.
The light gray door was pushed open, revealing a tall figure. The man wore a black shirt and black pants, exuding an overbearing presence with every move!
He wore a wolf's tooth mask on his face, but it wasn't the fierce kind. It simply conveyed a solemn, awe-inspiring pressure.
Behind the man followed six bodyguards, all wearing the same mask.
The two rows of men in black bowed respectfully and greeted, "Hall Master!"
"Mm!" The man carelessly sat on the black sofa, carrying a terrifying aura even while seated.
Everyone felt their breath catching!
The man standing at the front handed over a tablet.
"Hall Master, this is the information on Li He and the Yang family."
He slowly took it and glanced, finding it mostly aligned with his knowledge.
"Where is Li He now?"
"Reporting to the Hall Master, he's at the Yang family's residence and has been there for the past two days."
The man slowly stood up, his crimson lips curving into a cruel smile. "Hong Bin, lure him out, then sell the information to Black Tiger. Black Panther is with the Yang family. One tiger, one panther, it's perfect for us to reap the benefits."
"Yes, Hall Master. Your subordinate will handle it immediately," Deputy Hall Master Hong Bin responded respectfully.
"Mm! Collect evidence of the Yang family's crimes. If he dares to provoke me, he must bear the consequences."
After the man spoke, he stood up, his strong pressure making it impossible for anyone to look up.
"Hong Bin, I'm giving you five days and all the permissions. I want the Yang family to disappear from Modu."
The man's tone was calm, yet it sent a chill down Hong Bin's spine, while also filling him with excitement.
The Hall Master was actually granting him full authority. This was a sign of trust from the Hall Master and an immense honor for him.
His voice became increasingly firm, "Please rest assured, Hall Master. In five days, your subordinate will surely provide you with a satisfactory reply."
The man was so excited that he almost rushed forward to embrace the man, but considering the man's distinguished status, he instead hugged the brother next to him.
The man glanced at him, his eye twitching slightly. He nodded slowly and strode away.
The six bodyguards quickly followed.
Everyone instantly relaxed, and the air returned to normal.
Hong Bin, beaming, kissed the face of his brother.
The brother instantly collapsed.
"Big Brother, your saliva smells so bad." The brother, disgusted, wished he could die on the spot.
Hong Bin chuckled, "Brother, don't mind it. I ate fermented garlic, stinky tofu, and four century eggs for dinner. The smell is indeed a bit strong."
The brother on the spot "died."
Hong Bin looked at everyone, and they immediately took a step back.
However, Hong Bin was full of energy, smiling and saying, "Brothers, work hard. The Hall Master will not treat you poorly."
"Yes, Deputy Hall Master!"
The voices echoed through the sky, unusually abrupt in the night, yet undeniably commanding.
...
At a high-class club in Modu.
Tonight, Lu Cheng Si had arranged to meet the Rong family.
Lu Cheng Si arrived with Jin Yan.
Rong Yin also brought his parents.
After a meal, the group had tea at the club.
Rong Yin looked at Lu Cheng Si. "Uncle, I received news that Nuan Nuan has arrived in Modu. She went straight to the hospital upon arrival. Did something happen to someone?"
Lu Cheng Si shook his head slightly. "I don't know. You're telling me this now, and I'm only just finding out?"
Lu Cheng Si glanced at Jin Yan, who also shook her head slightly.
She wanted to meet Nuan Nuan, but she was always so busy!
Rong Sheng and Lu Cheng Si weren't people who met often. Rong Sheng was a bit bewildered to be suddenly invited by his son for a meal.
"Well, Mr. Lu, has my rascal caused any trouble that requires your intervention? If so, I'll beat him up right now!"
Rong Sheng's sudden question caught Lu Cheng Si off guard.
"Mr. Rong, your third son is very capable. He snatched a deal worth hundreds of billions ahead of our Lu family. What trouble could he possibly cause?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Sheng became immensely proud.
As a father, he felt honored when his son was praised.
"This boy, he does have quite a talent in this area, but we can't praise him too much, or he'll get too arrogant." His tone was filled with pride!
Lu Cheng Si: "..." I think you're just putting on a brave front.
His son was so outstanding, why was he so stingy with his words?
Children are meant to be praised, not criticized.
A word of praise from a parent can make a child happy for a long time.
"Mr. Rong, Mrs. Rong, I did ask you here today because there is something important. Both our families were schemed against back then, and our children were swapped." Lu Cheng Si spoke solemnly.
Rong Sheng and Feng Li Feng: "...!!" What did they just hear?
Rong Sheng stared intently at his son, who didn't resemble Lu Cheng Si at all.
He looked at Rong Yin, then at his wife. Yin Yin looked like his wife, which was why she was so beautiful.
She bore no resemblance to Lu Cheng Si whatsoever. It was impossible that he was Lu Cheng Si's offspring.
Rong Sheng was speechless for a long time before asking in shock, "So, you... you mean our third son... was swapped with your child?"
Lu Cheng Si: "..." What kind of logic is this?
Lu Cheng Si looked at Rong Yin, then gestured to himself, suddenly having a mischievous thought, wanting to tease Rong Sheng.
This old fellow had looked down on him quite a bit these past two years. Their families were established, and they generally kept to themselves.
They had two sons, and he had three. He was just relying on having more sons.
"Rong Sheng, do you think your third son looks like me?" he asked with a wicked grin.
These words almost cost Rong Sheng his life!
His third son's reputation as Modu's Crown Prince was not for nothing. It was a status he had earned through his own strength. How could he possibly have been swapped for someone else's child?
He felt immense panic!
"Hmph! Even if he is your spawn, I intend to graft him onto my Rong family and make him my Rong family's son." Rong Sheng gritted his teeth as he faced Lu Cheng Si.
Although their third son often argued with him, he was his pride. His eldest son was an idiot, and his second son was a daughter. While successful in their careers, their youngest son was the most formidable in the Rong family.
"Pfft..." Rong Yin couldn't help but laugh. He looked at his brainless father and asked, "Dad, I want to ask, how do you plan to graft him?"
"Shut up!" Rong Sheng glared at him, not seeing that his father was about to faint.
How could his son suddenly not be his son anymore?
"Impossible. Xiaosan was born to me. How could it be a mistake?" Feng Li Feng couldn't accept this outcome.
Jin Yan looked at Rong Yin and her husband, feeling a bit annoyed. "Alright, you two, an elder and a younger, how can you make such a joke?"
Having one's children swapped, raising someone else's child who turned out to be ungrateful, this was an unbearable blow for parents.
Rong Yin also put away his mischievous thoughts and said to his parents, "Dad, Mom, first of all, I am definitely your biological son. It's my eldest brother who isn't your biological son, and I've already found my real eldest brother. He's currently in Jinshi, working as a lawyer. He recently took on a big case and is a bit busy. He also opened a company abroad and has recently seen some success."
He chatted with his eldest brother every night. His eldest brother didn't talk much, but he would occasionally share information about his company.
"What?" Rong Sheng jumped up in shock.
