Ruthless Host and Her Little Darling Quick Transmigration

When Li's mother saw Wang Lei off, she was still somewhat reluctant. She had a sour face, as if someone owed her a huge sum of money that she could never repay.

Helpless, with her capable son watching from the sidelines, she could only force a smile and keep all her unhappiness to herself.

Wang Lei drove off, a cold smile playing on his lips.

This time it went much more smoothly than the last time, and many small details were handled very well. Unlike last time, there were no small loopholes that I had to fix on the spot.

Li Mo told his mother about it.

Li's mother looked on in disbelief. "Are there really such scoundrels in the world? Is he trying to curry favor with you? What does he want? Does he want you to not shower? Does he want you... no, you're just researching a little thing, is it worth him going to such lengths?"

Li Mo thought to herself, "My mother is such a smooth talker; she can say anything." She automatically skipped over some of the comments, pretending she hadn't heard them.

"It can't be explained in a few words. Anyway, when Fang Lei comes over in the future, be polite to him. We can't live in a villa that Brother Fang gave us and then speak ill of him."

Even though Li Mo tried to be subtle, his mother still translated his meaning without reservation. "You just want to say I'm an ungrateful wretch, don't you? Don't worry, when he comes, I'll treat him like my own son. I thought this villa was prepared for us by you, but it turns out we still have to rely on someone else. I've been supporting you for nothing."

Mrs. Li rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

What kind of nonsense is this? A biological son is not as reliable as an adopted son.

When Li Mo returned, the research results had already been sent out.

After these few days of getting to know each other, everyone has a better understanding of his abilities. When they meet, they are all extremely respectful, and the contemptuous expressions are nowhere to be seen anymore.

With both background and ability, such a person is born to be admired by everyone.

The people in the lab weren't so impatient; they had long since put aside what happened a few days ago. Seeing Li Mo return, they began asking about the operating principles of the experimental subjects.

Li Mo improved the original air gun, making it more powerful and with a longer range by compressing air. The addition of new raw materials also made it more robust and durable.

If Li Mo had had this gun a few days ago, he was confident he wouldn't have let any member of the Wang family escape.

Li Mo's matter didn't cause a huge uproar, but it wasn't insignificant either; those who needed to know about it already knew.

In recent days, other families have been making moves, constantly probing the research institute. They want to see what they are researching that would be worth sharing profits with the ever-powerful royal family and the nation.

Although the Wang family is the head of the four major families, they dare not let the relationship become too strained.

As soon as Li Mo arrived at the lab, he received a call from Elder Li. The message was simply that Li Mo should be patient, as the four major families would be coming to inspect. Their research could be concealed for now, and they could resume their studies once this turmoil had passed.

Young and impetuous, Li Mo couldn't stand being repeatedly forced to back down. He surprisingly raised his own questions in front of the previously revered Elder Li.

"Why should we hold back? I've fought the Wang family twice. They're not that strong; I could easily beat them to a pulp with my homemade weapons. Could it be that other families have more powerful weapons?"

After asking the question, Li Mo kept staring at Old Li's projection, stubbornly wanting to get an answer.

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable with the question, Old Li lowered his head in shame. He let out a deep sigh, as if trying to release all the pent-up frustration in his heart.

What could he say to such an innocent child?

To say that these old guys are incompetent and need to rely on him, a junior, to build things? To say that they are dirty and despicable, still thinking about infighting?

After a long while, or perhaps an even longer time, Old Li finally raised his head, revealing himself to be that kind and dignified old man once again.

“Xiao Mo, I know you’re upset, and I’ve been just as upset. But the four major families have other weapons of mass destruction. I’m afraid if we push them too hard, they might do something desperate. In that case, it won’t just be us who are involved who will be harmed, but also ordinary people.”

"Should we just ignore them and let them run rampant?"

Li Mo wanted to say, "Let's cut to the chase! Who cares about ordinary people? As long as we can eliminate the four major families, these people will die a worthy death."

But Li Mo opened and closed his mouth again and again, but couldn't say anything.

Li Mo and his family are just ordinary people. They want to kill others with just a few words. Is that fair to others?

"Wait a little longer. As long as we can control the Wang family's heavy weapons, the other families are nothing to fear. Believe me, it won't be long before the light of righteousness shines on this land again."

Li Mo had no choice but to compromise, giving a soft "hmm." He hung up the call and slumped into his chair, dejected.

What good will it do if we don't compromise?

One person's abilities are limited; even if he wanted to eliminate the four major families, he would be powerless to do so.

Li Mo stared blankly at the ceiling, letting his heart rage and roar, unable to vent his anger.

"Alas, in the end, it's still because we're not strong enough."

Even though he was so angry he wanted to destroy everything, the things in the laboratory remained intact. These were all thanks to the country's efforts; he dared not, and could not, destroy them.

This made Li Mo feel even more powerless.

The communicator on his wrist started vibrating again, but Li Mo remained motionless. It rang for a while before he answered; it was Academician Su.

Su Fan was quite surprised to see Li Mo's state. Every time they met, the little guy was full of energy and had unwavering courage. What was wrong with him this time? He looked dejected and wilted, like a frostbitten eggplant.

"Are you feeling unwell? If you are, you can go back and rest for a few days."

Hearing Academician Su's comforting words, Li Mo sighed, as if she had finally found someone to confide in, and poured out all her helplessness.

"I feel incredibly powerless, like I have all the strength in the world but nowhere to use it. There's something I can't even do myself, yet I blame others for not doing it. Am I being particularly despicable and shameless? Life is suffocating me, yet I blame others for not daring to fight back. Sometimes I give my all, but receive so little in return. Others are clearly indifferent, yet they seem oblivious, throwing themselves at me with undivided enthusiasm. What's wrong with this world?..."

Li Mo said a lot, yet it was as if he said nothing at all.

Su Fan didn't interrupt him and listened to his story. Until he criticized himself so harshly, he suddenly broke into a bright smile.

The brightness on her face made it seem as if her previous low spirits weren't from the same person. Clearly, she had figured it out and realized how childish she had been.

Su Fan's brow twitched, but he tried his best to keep his expression steady.

A gloomy man suddenly smiling is not a good sign.

Fortunately, it was broad daylight. If I had seen a mentally ill person like this at night, I would have had a heart attack.

No, let's not contact each other for a while.

If we absolutely must contact him, let's let Old Li handle it. Old Li is thick-skinned and resilient.

Su Fan felt that he was suffering from neurasthenia and needed to take a vacation, travel for a while, and relax properly.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Go on a trip when you have time and see the scenery. Spend some time with your family and relax. Let others deal with the four major families. After they leave, you can come back."

They told him to go back and rest, but really they were just afraid he'd cause trouble here. Li Mo's emotions, which he had just suppressed, showed signs of erupting again. Knowing he was being unreasonable, he kept a straight face and remained silent.

Su Fan was very perceptive and immediately noticed the change in his emotions.
