Chapter 242 Liu Jie's Dead End (8 updates)
In a luxurious villa in Donghai City, Liu Jie sat on a genuine leather sofa, looking at the slightly overweight middle-aged man in front of him with a face as dark as iron and filled with anger.
"Old Wang, what do you mean by this, telling me you want to withdraw your investment at a time like this?" Liu Jie's voice was sinister.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
No wonder Liu Jie was so angry. The Old Wang in front of him was his business partner, and the plot of land for the welfare institute had been secured by him. However, it required a substantial amount of funding.
Liu Jie was worth a lot, but definitely not enough, which is why he sought out Old Wang, and after some deliberation, they planned to co-invest in the project.
For this project, Liu Jie had also taken out many loans from the bank, but now that the project had already started, if Old Wang were to withdraw his investment, Liu Jie would never be able to bear the significant loss.
Moreover, under the current national policy, the banks had already started recalling loans, putting Liu Jie under immense pressure.
Although his father's reputation was a deterrent, it was also definitely a hindrance. He had to consider his father's position at all times, after all, everything he had was built on his father's power.
"Mr. Liu, I really had no idea that this plot of land had any ties with Mr. Mo. Otherwise, I wouldn't have invested in it at all. Mr. Mo is someone I can't afford to provoke," Old Wang said, his face filled with worry.
After hearing this, Liu Jie smacked his hand on the table, his teeth clenched: "You're afraid of him, are you not afraid of me?"
"I don't know how Mo Xing has threatened you, but you should know, if he has the power to make you afraid, I, Liu Jie, have the power to ensure you can't take a single step in Donghai City!" Liu Jie said fiercely.
Anger surged in his heart. You're afraid of Mo Xing, but aren't you afraid of me?
My father is the second in command of Donghai City; if I wanted to destroy you, you would have no way to continue staying in Donghai City. That's Liu Jie's capital.

After listening, Old Wang waved his hand: "Mr. Liu, don't let your fight with the gods affect me. I'm just a businessman, I don't want to be involved in your disputes. I also advise you to be careful. According to Mr. Mo, he has found something against you."
"Something against me? Ha, what could it possibly be." Liu Jie sneered. He had long erased any leverage against him, what ridiculous leverage, it was purely bluffing.
Old Wang stood up: "Mr. Mo asked me to let you know that the gruesome annihilation of the wealthy businessman Li Kui's family two years ago has something to do with you, and supposedly, the Li Kui who was lucky enough to survive has been found by Mr. Mo and brought back to the country."
As he spoke, Old Wang turned to leave, but Liu Jie's face changed drastically: "That's slander, I have no idea who Li Kui is, how could it have anything to do with me!"
"Mr. Liu, that's all I have to say. I think you'd better plan your way out sooner rather than later. According to Mr. Mo, he's right outside the government conference room waiting to expose you," Old Wang said.
After having his say, Old Wang turned and left, leaving behind a pale-faced Liu Jie with sweat already breaking out on his forehead.
The annihilation of Li Kui's family was indeed related to him; it was all masterminded by him. That Li Kui had miraculously survived, but had become a vegetable and had been sent to South Africa. How could they have possibly found him?
"This is impossible! They're just trying to scare me. But no one knows about this; Mo Xing! You and I are irreconcilable enemies!"
Liu Jie gnashed his teeth, fear welling up in his heart. He quickly got up and drove his Audi A6L frantically toward the government, trying to intercept Mo Xing before he could expose him to his father.
As long as he wasn't publicly exposed, there would be no problems. Liu Jie believed that his father's power was sufficient to smooth over the incident.
Those who drive a man to death first drive him mad, and what Ye Ling wanted was Liu Jie's madness. Once he went mad, he would slip up, and that's when Ye Ling would have him cornered.
In the government building, Liu Jie ran to the conference room door with an anxious expression, while Mo Xing sat on a chair in the hallway, coldly smiling as he watched Liu Jie rush over.
"Mo Xing! What is your relationship with Ye Ling? Just let me go, and I'll agree to anything!" After seeing Mo Xing's smile, Liu Jie believed that they indeed brought Li Kui back to the country.
Mo Xing shrugged his shoulders, "Sorry, I have no demands. I just want to return a refreshing Qiankun."
As he spoke, Mo Xing stood up, "Young Master Liu, a person should have some bottom line. I think those people you killed will curse you in hell!"
"Bullshit! Mo Xing! Don't push me; you're no saint either!" Liu Jie growled through clenched teeth.
Mo Xing was taken aback, then burst into laughter, "You say I'm not clean? Where am I not clean? Go ahead and report me to whoever you want. As long as you can bring me down, I'll accept defeat."
"Oh, Ye Ling asked me to tell you, do you remember Mu Ninghan, the woman you almost killed? You've left an indelible mark on Mu Ninghan."
"Now, it's your turn to pay the debt. Don't worry, you'll definitely enjoy it!"
Mo Xing patted Liu Jie's shoulder, then pointed outside the window. Liu Jie looked out the window and his eyes immediately went blank.
In the government courtyard, Ye Ling was pushing a wheelchair with a middle-aged man sitting in it, his legs covered with a blanket, wheeling around the courtyard.
Seeming to feel Liu Jie's gaze, Ye Ling turned around and gave a light smile, a smile that sent shivers down Liu Jie's spine.
"Mo Xing! I give up. Just tell me, what will it take for you to let me go?" Liu Jie bowed his noble head.
Mo Xing shrugged, "Like I said, this has nothing to do with me. If you want to beg for mercy, go find Ye Ling. But I don't think Ye Ling will let you off."
"Mu Ninghan is now his wife, you know."
After hearing this, Liu Jie was dumbstruck, his eyes immediately reddened, full of bloodshot veins, "Mo Xing! Don't push me to the edge. Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall. Do you really want us to go down together?"
Mo Xing was taken aback, then laughed again, "Tsk tsk, you really think highly of yourself. Fine then, I'll just watch how you plan to drag me down with you."
Some distance away, government workers who saw the two Crown Princes arguing hurriedly left the scene, not daring to linger, fearful of being implicated.
Creak, just at that moment, the conference room door suddenly opened, and Mo Zidao with another middle-aged man walked out first.
The middle-aged man was none other than Liu Jie's father, Liu Qing, the official in charge of this bustling international city, holding the power over life and death.
"Dad, I have something I want to tell you." Mo Xing glanced at Liu Jie and smiled coldly.
Mo Zidao was somewhat surprised; his son hardly ever came to the government to find him, but still nodded his head.
Meanwhile, Liu Jie panicked, his face dripping with sweat, his complexion turning unnaturally colored, with shades of red and white, clearly having lost his composure.
"No! It's not me! Li Kui's death has nothing to do with me! Dad, don't listen to Mo Xing's nonsense!"
Liu Jie quickly walked up to Liu Qing, grabbing his arm and speaking in a flurry.
As these words were spoken, everyone stood still, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
