From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor-Chapter 321 - 296: Mo Family Leader

Hua Zhuyue indicated she could help, but the time was too tight, and she estimated she could only prepare three million.

The remaining four million shortfall Xu Chunliang found Mo Han.

Mo Han’s first reaction was that Xu Chunliang had come around, but on second thought, it was impossible. She said she could find Luan Yuchuan to figure something out, but she had a requirement as well: she hoped Xu Chunliang would tell her the purpose of the money. Without a sufficient reason, she couldn’t convince Luan Yuchuan.

After seeking Tong Guangsheng’s consent, Xu Chunliang told her about it. Mo Han asked him why he didn’t report to the police, and Xu Chunliang mentioned the concerns of the Tong Family. Mo Han asked him to wait a moment.

Luan Yuchuan sat in the spacious office, admiring the scenery of Nanjiang. Not far off, the Yangtze River wound through. From a feng shui perspective, the ideal location was to the south of the mountains and north of the water, which was why Mo Han decided to buy this Red Gold Building in Jiangbei.

On Luan Yuchuan’s desk was a bronze sculpture of a great roc spreading its wings. Everyone thought he was that great roc, but only Luan Yuchuan knew in his heart that he was merely a puppet on strings.

Mo Han knocked on the door and walked in, "President Luan!"

Luan Yuchuan nodded. Although he sat in the president’s chair, his eyes were full of respect. The girl before him was the true leader of the Mo Clan; he was just a steward. In public, he tried his best to play his role well.

The Mo Clan rose in the pre-Qin period and declined during the Western Han. Emperor Wu of Han dismissed other schools of thought and upheld Confucianism, which led to the Mo Clan constantly being suppressed, never to recover thereafter.

However, the Mo Clan was never extinguished, and the legacy of the Mo Clan continued uninterrupted. The scholarship of the Mo Clan continued in the ancient traditional way to this day, but the Mo Clan has also changed continuously with time.

Contemporary Mo Clan has split into two branches: one branch focuses on the study of epistemology, logic, geometry, geometric optics, statics, known as the later scholars of the Mo Clan. The other branch entered the business world, and doctrines like universal love, non-aggression, elevating the worthy, and conformist unity, heavenly intentions, and discerning ghosts... all these Mo Clan thoughts worked wonders in the business world.

Mo Han said, "Immediately arrange for finance to prepare four million in cash, the more the better."

Although Equatorial Capital was not short of money, it was still an extraordinary matter to come up with four million in cash in a short time. Luan Yuchuan was surprised, "Something happened?"

Mo Han replied, "Just prepare it, and also, check the background of Tong Guangsheng. What’s his son’s situation? Who has he offended?"

"Yes!"

The issue for Tong Guangsheng wasn’t a lack of money, just that he couldn’t gather thirty million in cash in a short time. He dared not take any risks in this matter. Agreeing to the kidnapper’s terms wasn’t just an expedient strategy. If the other party returned his precious grandson safely, he was willing to spend even his entire fortune.

Six hours later, the kidnappers called to check on Tong Guangsheng’s progress, with just two hours left until their deadline.

Tong Guangsheng stated that there was absolutely no problem. The kidnappers told him to first deposit a security of five million into a certain overseas account.

Tong Guangsheng did as instructed immediately. His grandson was in their hands, and he was in a passive position throughout. He had also devised a strategy; once he received his precious grandson, he would launch a full-scale counterattack. These kidnappers and that certain person from Penang, he alone could wipe them out.

In his youth, Tong Guangsheng was fearless, penetrating deep behind enemy lines to eliminate the stubborn enemy. Now afflicted with leukemia, he feared death even less, his mind made up. After it was over, he would go to Penang personally to settle this matter for his son. He couldn’t allow his son’s family to live in constant fear.

Tong Guangsheng arranged to meet at Zhan Aihua’s hotel.

Zhan Aihua and his son, Zhan Tianhang, waited at the hotel, and he also brought a few hotel security guards. Knowing Tong Guangsheng was in trouble, Zhan Aihua brought a few good hands with the intention of seeing if they could help.

Tong Guangsheng expressed gratitude for his old comrade’s significant help. Zhan Aihua’s security team leader, Song JianShe, was a former criminal police officer and had a lot of experience with such cases. He suggested to Tong Guangsheng to report to the police.

Tong Guangsheng insisted he couldn’t take risks. He had to ensure his grandson’s safe return. Money could be earned again, but if anything happened to his grandson, it would be troublesome.

Seeing him so adamant, Song JianShe couldn’t say much. If the kidnappers could exchange the money for the person, that would be ideal, but based on his experience handling such cases, it would be best if the police got involved for a full tactical deployment.

At this time, the cash from Mo Han and Hua Zhuyue both arrived. They personally brought the money over. Hua Zhuyue prepared three million five hundred thousand, and Mo Han prepared five million. Both put in great effort and exceeded their tasks.

Tong Guangsheng expressed his gratitude for the loyal assistance of Hua Zhuyue and Mo Han. He had already arranged for finance to expedite returning the money to them.

Now, only waiting for Wang Jinwu. The twenty million Wang Jinwu brought this time was also the largest sum.

Hua Zhuyue and Mo Han met for the first time. Xu Chunliang introduced them to each other. Mo Han said, "I’ve heard of President Hua’s reputation, the Vice President of Blue Star Group."

Hua Zhuyue modestly replied, "Just a senior worker, Miss Mo, you’re really beautiful."

Mo Han replied, "President Hua is the beautiful one."

Xu Chunliang said, "Now’s not the time for mutual praise. Great kindness requires no thanks; once this is settled, I’ll treat you to coffee at the party school."

Hua Zhuyue and Mo Han had both tasted the party school’s coffee. They both disdainfully glanced at Xu Chunliang and simultaneously noticed each other’s almost synchronized expressions, both breaking into laughter.

Mo Han said, "Why didn’t he report to the police? In such a situation, it’s better for the police to intervene. If he wants to negotiate with the kidnappers, at the end, he might lose everything."

Xu Chunliang turned to glance at the hotel behind him. Luckily, these words were said behind Tong Guangsheng’s back. Xu Chunliang sighed—it was indeed a troublesome matter, and even reporting it wouldn’t solve it. Tong Guangsheng’s financial strategy had already yielded results; he probably hoped to avoid the disaster at the cost of money.

Chunliang told Tong Guangsheng and his son about the predicament they were facing. Mo Han believed that to resolve the issue, they had to tackle it from the root. Since those people sought revenge on Shu Yuanhang, they were ruthless criminals. If Tong Guangsheng hadn’t used money to pacify them, they might have already harmed the child.

They might not rule out taking thirty million and then retaliating against Xiaonianzu. To fundamentally solve the problem, they should find Shu Yuanhang’s enemy, that big figure from Penang, Li Zongyuan, and put pressure on him to force him to give up his revenge.

Chunliang said, "You make it sound easy. Li Zongyuan is in Penang and is a Datuk. How can we put pressure on him?"

Mo Han said, "Just because you can’t, doesn’t mean others can’t. President Luan has invested in a Zhonghua City in Penang and has a good relationship with local government officials. I can try to ask him to step in, but..."

Chunliang looked at Mo Han. Even though she didn’t finish her sentence, he understood what she meant. Mo Han was setting a condition; President Luan wouldn’t help for no reason. He certainly wanted the dragon bone.

"But what?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Mo Han sighed and said, "You’re so smart, why pretend to be dumb?"

Chunliang said, "In situations like this, shouldn’t they help without conditions? Are you taking advantage of the situation?"

Mo Han said, "President Luan is very particular about his reputation. You rejected him last time, and he’s not happy about it. Don’t worry; President Luan only wants a tracing."

Chunliang nodded and said, "If he can help, I can give him a tracing."

Mo Han said, "There’s a condition. He wants to see the original dragon bone and make the tracing himself."

Chunliang said, "Talking conditions with you business people always puts me at a disadvantage. Fine!"

Mo Han took her leave to seek Luan Yuchuan’s help.

After Mo Han left, Hua Zhuyue said, "She’s really calculating with you." She also felt that Mo Han was taking advantage of the situation by setting conditions at this time.

Chunliang said, "She’s been entrusted by someone."

Hua Zhuyue said, "Luan Yuchuan from Equatorial Capital is indeed someone of significance. If he agrees to help, it might have some effect."

Chunliang thought of Huang Si Po’s issue and asked if she had found any clues.

Hua Zhuyue rolled her eyes and said, "I don’t even know what I owe you. Although I couldn’t find Huang Si Po, I found the whereabouts of her son, Huang Jiucheng."

Chunliang said, "Isn’t Huang Jiucheng in prison?"

Hua Zhuyue said, "He’s been released and has a mysterious illness, currently cared for by his daughter."

Chunliang said, "Huang Jiucheng must know Huang Si Po’s whereabouts?"

Hua Zhuyue said, "Not necessarily, but Huang Si Po probably kidnapped the child to treat Huang Jiucheng’s illness."

Chunliang said, "Let’s go, take me to see him."

Huang Jiucheng now lives near Nanjiang Airport, where Huang Si Po contracted a parking lot. Because airport parking fees are expensive, at sixty per day, people from nearby villages started this business. Travelers park here for fifteen a day, with 24-hour free shuttle service.

Huang Jiucheng is heavily in debt and apart from fraud, has no other skills. After being released, he fell ill and couldn’t do heavy labor. This parking lot was actually subcontracted to her by Huang Si Po’s apprentice.

Huang Si Po’s apprentice, Zhou Shaohong, is a local who, seeing how pitiful their family was, entrusted the parking lot to her.

Huang Si Po has been working here with her granddaughter Huang Zichun for five years. Ever since her son’s company collapsed, she used everything to repay debts, was expelled from the family, and reportedly, has washed her hands of the matter.

On the way to Zhou Village, Hua Zhuyue explained the situation of the Huang Family briefly.

Chunliang couldn’t understand how someone with a granddaughter could kidnap another child. Didn’t Huang Si Po feel guilty for doing this?

Hua Zhuyue found out that Huang Jiucheng had a mysterious illness and could no longer take care of himself. His daughter, Huang Zichun, only ten years old, was not attending school and was caring for her father at home.

The two arrived at the parking lot contracted by Huang Si Po. Outside the large iron gate of the parking lot stood a sign that said, temporarily closed.

The iron gate was locked, seemingly deserted, and through the crevice, it was empty with not a single car.

There was a distance from Zhou Village. Chunliang stood outside the gate and called, "Is anyone there?"

No one responded inside, but there was the sound of dogs barking.
