Ruthless Host and Her Little Darling Quick Transmigration
Chapter 168 Who is Li Mo? 14
"Old Li, the cooperation with the four major families must still be done in your name."
Old Li sighed helplessly, feeling as if he had aged several years. After a year of working together, he felt increasingly exhausted. He always felt that their way of doing things didn't align with his own beliefs.
"I can do this, but... please don't call me to meetings anymore. Old man, I'm getting old, I can't stand seeing bloodshed."
Just because you can't stand bloodshed doesn't mean we can? Isn't that a veiled accusation that they are bloodthirsty and cruel?
You didn't hesitate at all when I reported you, but now you're acting like a good person?
Su Fan wanted to stand up and give this old bastard a good dressing down, but he pinched his palms and forced himself to hold back.
Just because he can tolerate it doesn't mean everyone can.
Old Zhao, standing nearby, angrily stood up from his chair. "Old Li, what do you mean by that? You said you wanted to do something practical for the country, and I followed you without a second thought. When have I ever failed to support your suggestions? Now you want to leave? Why are you playing the innocent old lotus? You think you're so great, so noble? We forced you to do everything before? And now you're leaving to disgust us!"
Old Zhao's words were frank and expressed everyone's feelings.
However, to prevent the internal conflict from escalating, two people surrounded Old Zhao to comfort him, while another pulled Old Li aside for a heart-to-heart talk.
Old Li was a little embarrassed. He knew he was a bit blunt and could easily offend people. He hadn't expected his old neighbor to have such a strong opinion about him.
Weren't they friends? They'd supported each other for so many years, narrowly escaping death several times. And yet, they turned against each other over a single sentence. Clearly, he harbored resentment. Resentment about what? He'd never wronged him. Old Man Li was somewhat confused.
Ten minutes later, both the Wang family head and Li Mo received the message.
Suppressing his anger, the Wang family patriarch agreed to Elder Li's suggestion. He had seen Li Mo's weapon with his own eyes and had long desired it. The thought that his enemy would live a little longer filled him with hatred, and he vented his anger by smashing the remote control on the table onto the floor.
Li Mo frowned, somewhat suspicious, but quickly dismissed it. Two minutes later, he boarded a helicopter sent by the state and entered the research institute jointly managed by the Wang family and the state.
The Wang family head didn't appear; he feared he would strangle Li Mo if he saw him. Even though he knew the other had fallen into his trap, seeing his enemy thriving only fueled the fire within him. It burned through his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and his entire body ached.
Over the years, who has dared to make him suffer such a huge loss? Who has dared to let him suffer such a huge loss and still suppress his anger?
Li Mo!
Li Mo!
The head of the Wang family hated him so much he wanted to chew him up and swallow him whole.
The old butler died, and a new butler surnamed Wang took his place.
Watching the patriarch pace angrily around the house, she was utterly bewildered but dared not ask any questions. She stood to the side, trying to minimize her presence.
The head of the Wang family suddenly stopped in front of the steward, scrutinizing him with a serious expression.
The steward remained composed and respectful, awaiting the master's instructions.
Seeing his attitude, the patriarch nodded in satisfaction. This man's mental fortitude was only one-tenth that of the old steward. Thinking of the old steward, Wang Qi automatically pictured the old steward's tragic death.
Li Mo!
I swear I won't be human if I don't kill you!
Wang Qi was breathing rapidly, her eyes were bloodshot, and it took her a while to calm down before she could suppress her emotions and focus her gaze back on the butler.
"If you wanted to get revenge on someone, what would you do? I want the truth, don't try to outsmart me." Wang Qi's last sentence carried a threat.
The butler's eyelids twitched, and he almost knelt on the ground.
Could it be that the head of the family has discovered what I did?
Those who usually come to this villa are all wealthy and powerful. Each one of them has connections and influence, yet they still treat the head of the household with utmost courtesy and respect. Finding out about my affairs would be a piece of cake.
The steward dared not be presumptuous. He glanced cautiously at the head of the household and, finding no malice in the head's eyes, slowly relaxed.
Perhaps this is an opportunity. He is prepared to boldly seize it.
Thinking of the man's tragic death and the meticulous care his parents had given him that morning, the housekeeper smiled faintly.
“If someone offends me, I will befriend them. I will take everything they care about, including their parents, relatives, and friends. I will isolate them, make them suffer and feel helpless, and destroy all the light in their lives. Finally, I will kill them when they are in the most pain and despair. What could be more despairing than being isolated and abandoned by the whole world, and being accused of betrayal by those closest to you?”
Seeing the butler's smile, Wang Qi's heart skipped a beat. That smile looked a little scary. This person could be used, but also needed to be guarded against. He was still too young, revealing his true feelings too early.
"You're right, the most painful knife always comes from those closest to us." Wang Qi patted him on the shoulder approvingly.
"I have something for you to do. If you do it well, you'll be well rewarded."
My guess was right; this was an opportunity to shine.
"Please give your orders, Master."
Butler Wang suppressed his excitement and tried his best to remain calm.
At the research institute, Su Fan and Professor Li warmly received Li Mo.
This matter should have been entirely handled by Elder Li. Elder Li possessed a calm and kind demeanor, and even just standing there, he exuded authority, making him very suitable for influencing these young people. Considering that Elder Li no longer wanted to continue, and that this matter was far too important, Su Fan had no choice but to come along.
Seeing the composed and dignified Elder Li, Li Mo was somewhat flattered. He was just an ordinary person, yet he had troubled two important figures to personally receive him.
Old Li was older, and Li Mo stepped forward to shake his hand. This is how high-ranking officials always do when they meet in the news; it's very formal and solemn.
When Old Li saw him, he felt both relieved and guilty, his expression somewhat complicated. Su Fan knew something was wrong and immediately nudged him in the back.
Old Li snapped out of his reverie and, with a smile on his face, led the person into the research institute.
People were coming and going in the research institute, carefully carrying experimental equipment.
As they walked, Mr. Li explained, hoping Li Mo could quickly familiarize himself with the environment. "This research institute and all the researchers here were specially transferred for you. If you need anything else, just let us know, and everyone will cooperate with you."
Li Mo looked at Old Li in surprise, not understanding why the country had given him such great authority.
“We’ve already witnessed your battle with the Wang family, and your inventions are very effective. We need your technology to regain control of the narrative.”
Upon hearing Elder Li's words, Li Mo's smile froze on his face.
See...you saw it? And you said it so bluntly, are you trying to make a statement yourself?
Li Mo's mind was in turmoil. Had he seen all those bloody and brutal scenes?
Even though he had witnessed a lot of death these past two days, Li Mo still found it hard to accept. He was afraid that others would be afraid of him and call him a monster.
What would the top leadership of the country think if they saw such a scene?
Li Mo's head drooped lower and lower, almost touching the ground. Someone stepped forward and steadied his arm, a magnetic voice reaching his ears.
"Don't feel guilty! Everything you did was for the country, and the country is proud of you. People all over the world will appreciate your contributions."
Li Mo looked up and saw it was someone from Old Master Li's side, whose surname seemed to be Su. Li Mo forced a smile, and his worried heart slowly calmed down.
Su Fan smiled back at him, paused for a moment, and then continued to follow behind.
Old Li really doesn't know how to talk; look how scared the child is.
