"Chen Mo, you're pushing your luck!" Ge Hua roared.
Chen Mo frowned slightly. "Mr. Ge, a bet is a bet. Are you going to renege on your promise in front of so many people?"
"Hmph, what if I don't give it? You won't get another thing from our store!" Ge Hua was furious.
He thought, what could they do if he refused to hand it over?
Most of the people in this main hall were ordinary customers, and he, Ge Hua, didn't care.
Chen Mo hadn't expected Ge Hua to be so shameless as to openly default on his debt.
Before Chen Mo could say anything more, Meng Zhuqing suddenly laughed. "Hehehehe."
Ge Hua glanced at the alluring Meng Zhuqing. "Miss Meng, what are you laughing at?"
Meng Zhuqing took out her phone. "Young Master Ge, listen to the content first, then decide whether to break your promise."
As she spoke, Meng Zhuqing played back their entire conversation.
Hearing himself mocking Chen Mo for not daring to accept the bet, Ge Hua wished he could slap himself!
If he hadn't pressured Chen Mo, none of this would have happened.
Ge Hua's face turned terrifyingly dark. He pointed at Meng Zhuqing and said, "Miss Meng, delete the content inside, or don't blame me for being rude!"
Meng Zhuqing, however, was not afraid of Ge Hua at all. "How can that be? Mr. Ge is so untrustworthy, I naturally want all the high-society figures in Longhua to know."
"You!" Ge Hua glared at Meng Zhuqing furiously.
"What will it take for you to delete it?" Ge Hua asked coldly.
The main reason was that this recording made him, Ge Hua, look like an idiot. If it got out, he probably wouldn't be able to show his face in public again!
"Of course, it's for Young Master Ge to fulfill his promise. As long as you fulfill it, I'll delete it," Meng Zhuqing said, shaking her phone.
"Fine, I'll give you the items!" Ge Hua said through gritted teeth.
He glared fiercely at Chen Mo, then called a staff member and asked him to bring three pieces of top-quality Hetian jade.
After about a few minutes, the staff member brought out the three Hetian jade pieces that met Chen Mo's requirements on a tray.
Chen Mo took the Hetian jade. It felt cool to the touch, perfectly round, and as smooth and soft as mutton fat.
"This is the finest mutton fat jade we have. Is that good enough now?" Ge Hua questioned.
Chen Mo first asked his ancestor.
After receiving confirmation from his ancestor, he smiled and nodded. "It's good stuff. Thank you, Mr. Ge!"
Ge Hua's cold gaze fell on Meng Zhuqing. "Miss Meng, can you delete the recording now?"
Meng Zhuqing smiled and nodded. "Okay, I'll delete it now."
Ge Hua leaned closer to Meng Zhuqing and watched her delete the audio recording. A sly glint flashed in his eyes.
After deleting the recording, Meng Zhuqing linked her arm with Chen Mo's. "Darling, let's go. I'm a bit hungry."
"Alright, let's go eat."
Saying that, the two turned to leave Yan Ru Yu.
"Miss Meng, Mr. Chen, why the hurry?" Suddenly, Ge Hua, with a dark expression, called out.
Chen Mo frowned slightly upon hearing this. He then noticed that all the customers in the hall had been cleared out, and the previously open doors were now closed by several staff members.
The door to the security room not far away opened, and dozens of security guards in uniform surrounded them.
Meng Zhuqing's expression changed. "Young Master Ge, what do you mean by this?"
Ge Hua sneered. "Heh, of course, it's to settle the personal grudges between us."
"Young Master Ge, you're quite bold. He's the son-in-law of Mo Chengguo. You dare to touch him?" Meng Zhuqing retorted playfully.
Ge Hua was dismissive. "Uncle Mo was just deceived by him. After I deal with him, I'll take him to Uncle Mo and make him admit personally that he's a liar!"
"Hee hee hee." Meng Zhuqing couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
"What are you laughing at?" Ge Hua asked, confused.
Meng Zhuqing replied, "Young Master Ge, you're too naive. Why do you think Mo Chengguo likes Chen Mo so much as his son-in-law? Do you think a family patriarch of that stature would be deceived by the sweet talk of a pretty boy?"
These words made Ge Hua's expression stiffen.
But he still couldn't understand how Chen Mo, an orphan and a doctor, could make Mo Chengguo so attentive.
He had sent people to investigate Chen Mo's background.
However, with his capabilities, he couldn't uncover any deeper connections.
Ge Hua said coldly, "No matter what, not only will you not take these three pieces of Hetian jade, but you must also return the jadeite Chen Mo took away earlier, or I will let you know what it means to wish you were dead!"
Then, he looked at Chen Mo playfully. "Kid, you're quite good at fighting, aren't you? This time, there are thirty people, six times more than last time! Let's see how you leave this time!"
Chen Mo smiled helplessly. "Just them? It's still not enough."
"Hahahahaha!" Ge Hua couldn't help but laugh when he saw Chen Mo still acting so arrogantly.
"Chen Mo, I have to say, you're the most arrogant person I've ever seen, but today, I won't let you leave again!"
Saying that, Ge Hua took a few steps back to avoid Chen Mo attacking him.
Once he was at a safe distance, Ge Hua waved his hand, signaling the people around him to make their move.
"What's going on here?" However, at this moment, a commanding voice rang out.
The security guards, who were about to act, immediately stopped.
Seeing the person who arrived, they all bowed and saluted, "Boss!"
Even Ge Hua hurried over. "Father!"
The person who arrived was none other than Ge Hua's father, Ge Xiaozhong.
"What's going on?" Ge Xiaozhong glanced around. There wasn't a single customer, and his expression was displeased.
Ge Hua quickly explained, "Father, this kid came to our store to cause trouble, and he snatched several pieces of jadeite and Hetian jade from us. I was just about to deal with him."
Ge Xiaozhong's gaze fell on Chen Mo. He saw that the person was unfamiliar.
However, when he clearly saw Meng Zhuqing, he looked surprised. "Miss Meng? What are you doing here?"
Ge Hua hurriedly explained, "Father, that kid is Miss Meng's boyfriend. But that kid has several women around him; he's a liar. I also want Miss Meng to see his true colors."
Ge Xiaozhong then nodded.
Afterward, he said, "Hurry up and deal with it. After you're done, come with me to visit Boss Qin. I heard Boss Qin has a younger brother. If you can get along well with him, I can rest assured in handing over the store to you to manage in the future."
"Yes, Father. After I finish dealing with this kid, I'll go get dressed up!" Ge Hua said excitedly.
Ge Xiaozhong gave Meng Zhuqing a meaningful look. "Miss Meng, I hope you can keep your eyes open and not be deceived by those scumbags."
After speaking, Ge Xiaozhong turned to leave.
Ge Hua, with a smug look, faced Chen Mo. "Chen Mo, hand over the items and admit you're a liar, and I can make your punishment less severe."
Chen Mo?!
Ge Xiaozhong, who had already taken two steps, suddenly stopped!
