Chapter 758: Care in 757 Information
G City
In Mo’s mansion, the large living room is occupied only by Mo Jingteng, giving off a stagnant and desolate atmosphere, filled with a sense of loneliness.
Mo Jingteng sits on the high-end leather sofa, his silver temples under the crystal light adding an insurmountable age and desolation to his appearance.
He finishes one cigarette when the sound of footsteps emanates from the entryway, his bodyguard.
Mo Jingteng lifts his eyes to see the approaching bodyguard, asking in a deep voice, “What news?”
The bodyguard approaches, respectfully replying, “Sir, this afternoon, Wen Jin, Gu Kai, and Luo Haofeng visited young master Mo Zixuan together.”
“The three of them visited Zixuan together?”
Mo Jingteng squints his sharp eyes, a trace of coldness creeping onto his face, marked by the passing of time.
Thinking to himself, they had visited Mo Zixuan, but what was their intent?
“Do you know what they said?”
Mo Jingteng ponders for a moment before asking.
The bodyguard shakes his head with a stern expression, “I don’t know. I couldn’t find out. However, Zhou Lin has been visiting the Wen family a lot these days. Perhaps her pleading moved Wen Jin and the others.”
Mo Jingteng’s squinted eyes emit a vicious light, and he says coldly, “Moved? Impossible. Wen Jin isn’t one to be easily moved to spare Zixuan.
Zhou Lin must have promised Wen Jin something, or perhaps, it was Zixuan who struck a deal with them.”
As for the bodyguard’s doubt, “Sir, Mo Zixuan is now powerless and has nothing. What can he exchange with Wen Jin and the others?”
“You continue to investigate and keep an eye on Wen Jin’s movements. Qin Mu and the others already know about my intention to acquire Haochen.
Wen Jin may also associate something because of this and make long-term plans for the future. Notify me immediately if you have any news.”
Mo Jingteng orders sternly, he cannot let Wen Jin and Gu Kai get the upper hand, “Tomorrow, I need to pay a visit to the police station.”
The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that Mo Zixuan must have struck a deal with Wen Jin.
If Mo Zixuan exchanges this for his freedom, Mo Jingteng fears that Zixuan will no longer be constrained by their father-son relationship.
He cannot allow Mo Zixuan to end up being used by Wen Jin and the others.
Back when it was found out that Mo Zixuan had ordered the arson event at the Wen family mansion, causing Wen Ran to jump off a cliff and his life and death became unknown.
Mo Jingteng didn’t anticipate all these events. At that time, Wen Jin almost killed Mo Zixuan, and Mo Jingteng knew about it.
It was for this reason, he felt that Wen Jin and Gu Kai would not let go of Zixuan.
He seized this opportunity to locate Mo Xiuchen and take him away.
The sound of his phone ringing suddenly rings out. Mo Jingteng gestures to the bodyguard, hinting him to leave beforehand.
He presses the answer button, his voice somber, “Hello?”
“Chairman, it’s me.”
The voice on the phone is Cheng Jia’s.
Mo Jingteng’s expression darkens, he asks displeasedly, “Why didn’t you return to the company as I instructed?”
“Chairman, I had a situation arise, and I wasn’t able to make it back to the company in time.”
The emotion in Cheng Jia’s voice is stifled.
She was still so pompous before, but now, she’s been ordered back by Mo Xiuchen.
They will need more help from Mo Jingteng in the future. She has no choice but to submit.
“You just came back today. What kind of situation could have possibly arisen?”
Mo Jingteng feels that Cheng Jia is making an excuse.
He snorts in his heart. Does she think she can really become the Mistress of the Mo family, the wife of the President of the MS Group?
The promise he gave her was only because she had been of some help at the time.
He hadn’t found a more suitable candidate, but now that she isn’t well-liked by Xiuchen, Mo Jingteng is happy about it.
“Chairman, I encountered Bai Xiaoxiao at the airport. That woman was like a mad woman. I was stunned twice by her and she pushed me to the ground. I hurt my ankle and had to go to the hospital. I will probably need to stay a couple days before I can be discharged.”
Mentioning this, Cheng Jia is infuriated to death, wishing she could tear Bai Xiaoxiao into pieces.
Mo Jingteng is somewhat surprised.
He didn’t expect that there really was an unexpected situation as soon as she returned.
He vaguely remembers Bai Xiaoxiao, Wen Ran’s best friend, she’s also quite of a feisty woman.
“Since you injured your ankle, you should stay in the hospital. You must be careful these days after your return.
Today, it was Bai Xiaoxiao. Tomorrow, it might be Wen Ran, Gu Kai, Wen Jin, and the others. They will not let you go easily when they encounter you.”
Back then, she stole Wen Ran’s husband, Wen Ran wouldn’t let go of her so easily.
However, reminding Cheng Jia is not out of concern, but he hopes to use Cheng Jia as a pawn.
Although she’s not a match for Wen Jin and the others in a fair fight, she can use other cunning tactics. Mo Jingteng hopes to use Cheng Jia against Wen Jin and his group.
He will then be able to reap the rewards when they are at odds.
“I know, thank you for your concern, Chairman.”
When Cheng Jia returned, she considered this point.
Although Wen Ran only swore not to bother Xiuchen himself, his circle has indeed cut off contact with Xiuchen. But how could they let her off easily?
This is also the reason why she was reluctant to return. However, Mo Xiuchen simply did not give her the power to refuse. If he says she has to return, then she must return.
Thinking this, she says, “Chairman, I have something else to do. I’ll go to the company and talk to you properly in a few days.”
After saying goodbye, she hangs up the phone.

Without Cheng Jia hovering around him, Mo Xiuchen has been in a good mood.
Not only did the negotiations go smoother than before, even sleeping at night became more peaceful.
During the initial days, he was alert even in sleep.
Because he didn’t know when Cheng Jia, acting like a love-struck fool, would crawl into his bed.
After hearing Secretary Wu’s words about following his own feelings, his aversion to Cheng Jia increased a few notches.
In the morning, after he finishes his morning routine, he sends a message to the girl who inexplicably occupies his thoughts, then sits down for breakfast.
Even though Secretary Wu is living next door, she doesn’t appear in his sight like Cheng Jia.
Unless he calls her, she won’t come to bother him.
In the quiet dining room, the sudden ring of his phone breaks Mo Xiuchen’s train of thought.
His finely shaped eyebrows furrow slightly as he glances at the caller ID. He quickly mutes the phone, ignoring the call.
Cheng Jia’s name flashes on the screen as he calmly continues eating breakfast.
Just as the vibration of the phone stops, the notification sound for a new message rings out. Mo Xiuchen’s eyes light up, and he immediately sets down his chopsticks to check his phone.
He’s gotten used to this form of communication. Upon seeing the response from the other party, a light warmth washes away the stern expression on his handsome face, the corners of his mouth curving up slightly.
“Just finished my shift, about to head home.”
He looks at the message for a few seconds, his long fingers swiftly typing out a line of words, “Be careful on your way home.”
After writing it and before hitting send, his finger stops. After a brief thought, he adds a few words to the previous sentence and hits send.
