Luo Haofeng blew a loud whistle, “Wen Jin, see that? Mo Xiuchen calculates against everyone. So, why don’t we wipe out his wallet tonight?”

He must pull someone in; otherwise, with both of them siding with Wen Ran, it would be challenging to win.

However, Wen Jin didn’t care at all and lightly laughed, “He’s right. Ranran is my sister. If she loses, she should take from me. For the sake of my wallet’s thickness, do you think I would agree to your proposal?”

“Mo Xiuchen, you better get away.”

Luo Haofeng’s face changed, glaring at Mo Xiuchen, the troublemaker.

When Mo Xiuchen returned to Mo’s Mansion, Mo Zixuan chose to avoid him.

He had said everything he should to Mo Jingteng. Now, all he could do was wait for the effects and see if his attacks could ‘kill’ Mo Xiuchen.

Mo Xiuchen took a seat on the single-seat sofa, his deep eyes scanning the cigarette butts in the ashtray. Before Mo Jingteng could speak, he asked first, “Did Mo Zixuan tell you?”

“Yes, it was Zixuan.”

A flicker of admiration flashed in Mo Jingteng’s eyes. That was Mo Xiuchen, his son, indeed outstanding. He was not only meticulous but also insightful.

In theory, he’s the best choice to take over the company. He didn’t have to worry that he would ruin the company.

Even though he brought back Mo Zixuan, he didn’t really intend for Zixuan to replace him. He just wanted to give him a sense of crisis, prevent him from becoming too arrogant.

The aura emanating from Mo Xiuchen chilled, confirming his suspicion. That day, when Luo Haofeng informed him that Mo Zixuan seemed to have recovered his memory and knew Wen Ran’s true identity, he suspected Mo Zixuan would stir up trouble.

“What did he tell you?”

A sharp edge gathered between Mo Xiuchen’s brows, his voice mocking.

A touch of displeasure arose on Mo Jingteng’s old face, one of the characteristics he disliked most about his son.

“He said that Wen Ran is not the daughter of Wen Hongrui, but the daughter of Gu Yan. I called you back because I wanted to hear your explanation.”

Mo Jingteng’s eyes fiercely stared at Mo Xiuchen, who curled a teasing smile at the corner of his mouth, “Since you already know, what more do you want me to say?”

It seemed that Mo Zixuan had put in quite some effort. The people who knew Ranran’s secret identity were limited, and it wasn’t easy to find out in such a short period.

Unless, he suspected a connection between Ranran and the Gu family from the beginning, and only then could he narrow down his target.

Mo Jingteng frowned, seriously saying, “I need to know if Wen Ran really can’t conceive. You’ve been married to her for so long, and she hasn’t been pregnant…”

“That’s because I don’t want kids. It has nothing to do with Ranran.”

Mo Xiuchen was slightly taken back, though his face remained unchanged.

His tone deepened with a layer of frostiness. How could Mo Zixuan know about this?

Mo Zixuan!

Even if he knew Ranran’s identity, he shouldn’t be able to catch this much detail about the whole situation. Only a few people knew the full story.

“Xiuchen, your suspicions before may have been correct.”

Suddenly, the words of Qin Mu flashed in his mind. Last time, Qin Mu said that Xiao Wenqing’s face had fully healed, and she and Wu Tianyi led a concealed life. To cure the face immediately was not an easy task.

He had suspected before that there must be someone hidden behind Wu Tianyi’s pharmaceutical factory.

Considering some matters from the past, he felt Xiao Wenqing and Fu Jingyi must be connected. Even if she was not involved, Wu Tianyi and Fu Jingyi must have a connection.

“You don’t want kids, Xiuchen. You’re making excuses for Wen Ran.”

Mo Xiuchen suddenly laughed.

His laugh held no warmth, instead chilling everyone to their bones.

Mo Jingteng’s face changed, watching him irately, “What are you laughing at?”

“I find it funny that you only know half of the story, unaware of being manipulated and used, without realizing it.” Mo Xiuchen spoke, his words filled with derision and contempt, successfully stirring up Mo Jingteng’s anger, “Xiuchen, what do you mean?”

Mo Xiuchen scoffed, raising his head to glance at the upstairs, “Did Mo Zixuan only tell you that Ranran is Gu’s daughter and she can’t have children, but didn’t tell you where he heard these things from, did he?”

“Of course he found it out.”

Mo Jingteng felt a flicker of suspicion, wondering if Mo Zixuan had found the information himself.

“He found it? What a joke.”

Mo Xiuchen, arrogant and dismissive, coldly said, “It’s true that Ranran is Uncle Gu’s daughter, but her body is very healthy, without any problems. Let me tell you where Mo Zixuan got his news from.”

Mo Jingteng’s face turned ugly.

Ignoring the anger in his eyes, Mo Xiuchen calmly analyzed, “It was Xiao Wenqing who told Mo Zixuan. Back then, when Ranran was hunted down, Xiao Wenqing was behind it all.

She knew that Ranran was the little girl who saved me, held a grudge, and took orders from Fu Jingyi.”

Mo Jingteng’s face turned from green to pale, his gaze sharp as a knife on Mo Xiuchen.

“A few days ago, someone spotted Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi in City B, her facial injuries had already been cured by Fu Jingyi. Moreover, the last workplace accident was controlled by her and Wu Tianyi behind the scenes. They want to get hold of MS Group. You bringing Mo Zixuan back is just what they wanted.”

“Did Mo Zixuan tell you he has no connection with Xiao Wenqing? It seems that not only are you old, but also gullible. Before, you were fooled by Xiao Wenqing to the point of even unwillingly killing your wife and son. Now, you are still a pawn used by Xiao Wenqing’s son. Dad, I really doubt how you managed to develop MS Group to this point.”

“You…”

Mo Jingteng was painfully reminded of his past wound. For a moment, he was so enraged he almost couldn’t breathe. His face turned from green to white, glared furiously at Mo Xiuchen, pointing at him but couldn’t finish his sentence.

A trace of coldness swept through Mo Xiuchen’s eyes, “Don’t get mad. What I said are just facts. Although you are not a qualified father, I am a filial son. So, I can’t bear to see you repeatedly duped. What Mo Zixuan told you were all hearsay from Xiao Wenqing, not facts he found himself.”

“His goal is to split Ranran and me. Xiao Wenqing knows very well that I love Ranran very much. If you tear us apart, it’s inevitable for father and son to turn against each other. By then, if Mo Zixuan smoothly takes over the company, it’s equivalent to her and Wu Tianyi getting the company.”

Although Mo Jingteng was furious, he did not speak. He pointed at Mo Xiuchen for a while, then dropped his hand.

He seemed to be contemplating whether his words were true.

“Whether you believe it or not, that’s up to you. Dad, back then, I almost died in the hands of Xiao Wenqing. I had been taking medicines for several years before my ‘wound’ got better. Regardless Ranran and I are planning to have kids, even if we wanted to but couldn’t, it would only be my problem, and it has nothing to do with her.”
