"Based on my judgment, the other party should be a Hua Jin martial artist," Long Zecheng's voice came again.
Upon hearing that the opponent was merely a Hua Jin martial artist, Wu Guangxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
After a moment of thought, he said, "Then I'll accompany you tomorrow. You should also bring more men. Remember, I am a Wu Shi, and not everyone is qualified to have me act."
"Yes, yes, Elder Wu, as a Wu Shi expert, naturally you must have the demeanor of a master," Long Zecheng said with great politeness.
Although Long Zecheng was from the Long family, he was merely a collateral branch, and his status within the Long family was even inferior to Wu Guangxiao's.
"Pick me up at the hotel tomorrow morning," Wu Guangxiao said, then hung up the phone.
After hearing the dial tone, Long Zecheng's expression turned extremely grim.
"A guest elder dares to act so arrogantly in front of me! Once I gain the Long family's favor, I will surely make you grovel before me every day!"
Meanwhile.
After driving away from the Marriott Hotel, Chen Mo first sent Fang Fang back to her residence.
With Luo Bing's men now protecting Fang Fang, Chen Mo felt considerably more at ease.
He then drove back to the villa.
Tian Mengyao looked somewhat surprised to see Chen Mo return. "Didn't you say you'd be away for a few days? Why are you back so soon?"
Chen Mo did not tell Tian Mengyao about what had happened.
He feared that Tian Mengyao, who was already worried about him, would become even more anxious.
Chen Mo explained, "The matter has been resolved, so I rushed back overnight."
Hearing that Chen Mo had rushed back, looking travel-worn, Tian Mengyao quickly went to prepare a bath for him.
Perhaps due to the intense stress he had been under for the past few days, Chen Mo actually fell asleep in the bathtub.
Noticing that Chen Mo had not come out, Tian Mengyao grew worried. She suppressed her shyness and pushed open the bathroom door.
When Tian Mengyao saw Chen Mo asleep in the bathtub,
Tian Mengyao felt a pang of heartache.
She no longer cared about her shyness, as in her heart, Chen Mo was already her man.
She stepped forward, helped Chen Mo to sit up, and woke him.
"Go sleep in bed, the water has gone cold," Tian Mengyao said quickly.
Chen Mo slowly opened his eyes. Looking at Tian Mengyao's worried expression, his heart warmed, and he immediately pulled her into his embrace.
Tian Mengyao was already supporting Chen Mo with one hand.
The moment Chen Mo reached out and wrapped his arm around Tian Mengyao's waist, Tian Mengyao tumbled into the bathtub.
"Ah!" Tian Mengyao cried out.
However, before Tian Mengyao could say anything, Chen Mo had already kissed her.
Tian Mengyao's expression froze, and gradually, her body, which had been resisting, softened.
The next morning.
Tian Mengyao slowly woke from her sleep.
Nestled in Chen Mo's arms, her face was filled with a happy smile.
Finally, she, Tian Mengyao, had become Chen Mo's woman.
As if sensing the movement beside him, Chen Mo slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the tender Tian Mengyao gazing at him affectionately, Chen Mo smiled faintly and gently kissed her forehead.
"Does it still hurt?" Chen Mo asked softly.
Tian Mengyao recalled what had happened last night, her cheeks flushing slightly as she nodded.
Chen Mo said with concern, "You should rest for two days. Put the hospital matters aside for now."
However, Tian Mengyao stubbornly refused, "I'm fine, and there are still patients at the hospital. I can't leave."
Chen Mo could only nod. "Alright. During this time, I'll have Huizi stay by your side to protect you."
Tian Mengyao asked with a hint of confusion, "Huizi protecting me? Is there danger? Why don't you let her stay by your side?"
Chen Mo replied, "I'm fine. But I'm most worried about the people around me having problems, because you are my weakness."
Hearing Chen Mo say this, Tian Mengyao felt a warmth spread through her heart.
She knew that Chen Mo truly cared about her.
Therefore, Tian Mengyao did not refuse and agreed.
Just as Chen Mo was about to get up for breakfast, his phone suddenly rang.
As soon as the call was connected, Yu Honglong's voice came through, "Brother Chen, that guy Long Zecheng has gone to our construction site, and he's brought quite a few people with him."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo's expression instantly turned cold. "Have they entered yet?"
Chen Mo asked sternly.
If the matter of the medicinal field were to get out, it would likely cause significant trouble.
The spiritual spring alone could attract the covetous gaze of many influential families.
"Not yet. When they noticed something was wrong, the construction site security guards went to them. I'm also on-site now," Yu Honglong replied.
Chen Mo said, "Wait for me, I'll be there immediately."
After saying that, Chen Mo, without bothering to eat, put on his clothes, quickly washed his face, and prepared to leave.
However, Tian Mengyao still stuffed two eggs into his pocket, as not eating breakfast was not good for his health.
At this moment, at the construction site.
Long Zecheng, accompanied by a group of men in black bodyguards, stood outside the medicinal field.
Yu Honglong, with a grim expression, blocked their path.
Around them, several security guards had already been knocked down.
Long Zecheng glanced at Yu Honglong mockingly. "Mr. Yu, you should know that discretion is the better part of valor. I heard your injuries have just healed. If you don't want to end up in the hospital again, I advise you to get out of the way now."
Yu Honglong said coldly, "This is our boss's property. What right do you have to enter? This is trespassing, and it's a crime!"
"Hahahaha!"
Long Zecheng burst into laughter.
"A crime? Mr. Yu, after today, Hengchang Real Estate will be mine. Am I committing a crime by coming to inspect my own construction site in advance?"
Yu Honglong retorted, "Nonsense! You think you can covet Hengchang Real Estate? Dream on!"
Then, Yu Honglong looked at the security guards behind him. "How has the boss treated you normally?"
"Very well!"
Several security guards responded in unison.
"Now is the time for us to repay the boss. Even if it costs us our lives, we cannot let them step foot in here today!" Yu Honglong instructed.
"Mr. Yu, don't worry! If they want to get in, they'll have to step over our dead bodies!"
"That's right! I don't believe they would dare to kill all of us!"
Not a single security guard present backed down.
They were all security guards of Hengchang Real Estate, and they all knew that Chen Mo treated them exceptionally well.
He had even gone against a powerful figure for their sake and had given them generous rewards.
Therefore, none of them wavered.
They all stood in front of Yu Honglong.
Seeing this, Long Zecheng narrowed his eyes.
He was somewhat shocked that these security guards were so dedicated.
Long Zecheng sneered, "Heh, is it worth losing your lives for a few thousand yuan a month?"
"Pah!"
One of the security guards spat at him.
"A few thousand? You're underestimating our boss too much! Let me tell you, our salary is twenty thousand a month! Plus, we have five insurances and one fund. I doubt the bodyguards you have with you earn as much as we do!"
