Soon, Meng Jingbai and the middle-aged man walked out of the villa.
The car headlights were blinding, and neither Meng Jingbai nor the middle-aged man could clearly see who was inside the car.
However, based on the car's appearance, Meng Jingbai knew it was his daughter Meng Zhuqing's car.
"Click!"
The car door opened, and a figure emerged from the vehicle.
"Qing'er, why are you back so early?" Meng Jingbai stepped forward and asked.
However, as soon as Meng Jingbai clearly saw the figure stepping out of the car, his expression froze, his face filled with horror.
"Chen Mo? You, why are you back?" Meng Jingbai exclaimed.
He then glanced at the passenger seat but did not see Meng Zhuqing.
Chen Mo ignored Meng Jingbai, opened the rear door, and carried out Meng Zhuqing's body from inside.
When Meng Jingbai saw Meng Zhuqing's corpse, he was instantly stunned.
"Qing, what happened to Qing'er?" Meng Jingbai asked in bewilderment.
His entire body seemed to tremble slightly.
"Dead." Chen Mo replied faintly.
"Dead, dead? How, how is this possible!" Meng Jingbai stumbled, almost falling to the ground.
Fortunately, the middle-aged man beside him supported him.
Chen Mo said, "You're surprised, aren't you?"
"Because the person who died wasn't me, right?"
Hearing Chen Mo's words, Meng Jingbai's face changed drastically, and he stared at Chen Mo in shock.
Chen Mo continued, "I already know about your plan."
"Did, did Qing'er tell you?" Meng Jingbai asked.
Chen Mo shook his head. "She didn't betray you. I should have hated her, but instead, I owe her."
Meng Jingbai didn't know what had happened at the time. He frowned, trying hard to guess what might have occurred.
"Originally, you should have died too." A hint of killing intent flashed in Chen Mo's eyes.
Meng Jingbai was shocked and retreated two steps in terror.
The middle-aged man beside him quickly moved to shield Meng Jingbai.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you, because you are Zhuqing's father. I hope you'll take care of yourself." After speaking, Chen Mo handed Meng Zhuqing over to the middle-aged man in front of him.
He didn't linger any longer.
Chen Mo turned abruptly and walked towards the outside of Galen Manor.
Looking at the flower bed around the corner of Galen Manor.
Chen Mo felt as if he had returned to the day he first met Meng Zhuqing.
"Mr. Chen, your consumption this time is as high as one billion. This is our Galen Auction's diamond black card. Please keep it, Mr. Chen."
"Heh heh, this is the first time someone has called me Miss Meng. It sounds quite nice."
Meng Zhuqing's charming voice echoed in Chen Mo's ears.
A tear fell, and Chen Mo walked out of Galen Manor.
A Mercedes-Benz sedan slowly stopped in front of Chen Mo.
Chen Mo did not hesitate, opened the car door, and got in.
Before coming to Galen Manor, he had called Yu Honglong to pick him up.
Yu Honglong had also used Chen Mo's spiritual dew, and his broken leg had almost recovered.
"Brother Chen, why are you back so early?" Yu Honglong asked with confusion.
However, seeing Chen Mo's expression, he wisely shut his mouth.
Starting the car, Yu Honglong drove Chen Mo towards the direction of the villa.
Chen Mo asked in his mind, "Old Ancestor, did you see that something was wrong there long ago?"
"Yes." The Old Ancestor replied with a single word.
"Old Ancestor, I was wrong."
The Old Ancestor asked, "Do you know where you went wrong?"
Chen Mo replied, "I was too confident, too reliant on you, and didn't deeply consider the questions you raised before. Most importantly, I trusted others too easily."
The Old Ancestor nodded in satisfaction. "One Meng Zhuqing could make you realize this. Her death was worth it."
Chen Mo took a deep breath.
In his mind, the three words Meng Zhuqing uttered before her death lingered.
At this moment, he even wished that Meng Zhuqing hadn't taken the bullet for him.
That way, he might have felt a little better.
"Brother Chen, we're almost home," Yu Honglong's voice sounded.
"Turn around," Chen Mo instructed.
"Brother Chen, where are we going?" Yu Honglong turned the steering wheel, drifting in place.
"I want to drink," Chen Mo said faintly.
"Okay!"
Yu Honglong knew Chen Mo was in a bad mood and didn't ask why. He stepped on the gas and drove towards a bar.
In the early morning bar, there were not many people.
After getting out of the car, Yu Honglong and Chen Mo walked directly into the bar.
Arriving at the bar counter, Yu Honglong tapped the surface. "Bring out all the best liquor you have here."
Hearing this, the bartender quickly brought out two bottles of whiskey.
Yu Honglong personally poured a glass for Chen Mo.
Chen Mo took the glass and gulped it down.
"Continue," Chen Mo instructed.
Yu Honglong did not dare to delay and poured another full glass for Chen Mo.
Chen Mo picked it up again and gulped it down in one go.
"Continue," Chen Mo continued to instruct.
"Okay." Yu Honglong poured another glass for Chen Mo.
He now only wanted to get drunk and numb himself with alcohol.
"Continue," Chen Mo said again.
"Handsome, would you like to buy me a drink?" Suddenly, a woman slowly walked up to Chen Mo.
The woman was heavily made up and dressed quite lightly. She gently touched Chen Mo's arm.
"Scram." Chen Mo simply replied, then tilted his head and downed the drink.
"Handsome, how can you be so heartless? I'm a beauty, and you tell me to scram. Isn't that a bit too unchivalrous?" the woman said with a hint of grievance.
"Damn it, can't you understand what Brother Chen is saying?!" Yu Honglong glared at the woman.
"Tch, why are you so fierce?! Fine, I'm leaving." The woman turned to leave.
"Stop," Chen Mo's voice sounded again.
The woman froze and turned to look at Chen Mo. "What do you mean? You tell me to scram one moment and stop me the next. Are you crazy!"
After speaking, the woman was about to stride away.
However, Chen Mo grabbed her arm and forcibly pulled her in front of him.
Yu Honglong looked surprised, thinking Chen Mo was drunk and willing to accept anyone. "Brother Chen, let's forget about this kind of woman. Shall I arrange some for you?"
Chen Mo frowned slightly and glanced at Yu Honglong. "Do you really think I'm that desperate?"
Yu Honglong smiled but said nothing.
Chen Mo looked at the woman. "Get my wallet out."
Wallet?!
Yu Honglong's expression stiffened. Only then did he realize that this woman was a pickpocket.
Hearing Chen Mo's words, the woman's expression changed drastically, but she still pretended to be calm. "What do you mean? I didn't take your wallet!"
Yu Honglong looked the woman up and down and then showed a look of confusion.
"Brother Chen, she's dressed so lightly, and there's no place to hide a wallet on her."
