Chapter 396 Out of Power

“What are you both talking about? Also, Anran, what did you add to the formula? It doesn’t taste bitter like Chinese medicine, but instead tastes sweet.”

Lan Tingyun drank a big bowl with a satisfied expression.

“I added a sweet herb root, which is very sweet and refreshing. Dad, drink more if you like, it will be good for your recovery,” Lan Anran smiled and said.

“Father-in-law, I have something to do at the company, so I’ll take my leave.”

Mo Jinrong glanced at Lan Anran. “Keep your things well. You won’t be so lucky to find that I have it again in the future.”

 

He left the Lan Family Villa after saying that.

“Young Master! Do you think Miss Lan is serious?”

Mo San didn’t believe her. How could someone as rich as Zero stay at a small restaurant?

“Investigate that restaurant. She won’t admit anything now, so we must hold the evidence in front of her.” Mo Jinrong looked around, sensing that something was amiss.

The people around him seemed to be fixed in place and everyone’s eyes were on him. But when he looked over, they were doing their own thing again. They were obviously being watched.

“Were these people standing here when we arrived?” Mo Jinrong asked.

“I think so. These people are watching Miss Lan. Is it his doing?”

Mo San was doubtful.

“Let’s go back to the company.”

Mo Jinrong got into the car and drove off. “Boss, Boss! The target has returned to the company.” The man reading the newspaper immediately reported Mo Jinrong’s whereabouts into his earpiece.

After returning to the company, he went straight to Mo Shengli. “You arranged for people to stand outside the door of Anran’s house, right? Why did you do that?”

“Jinrong, how could you think of me like that? I don’t know about this at all, you can’t accuse me.”

Mo Shengli didn’t want to admit it, as it wasn’t time yet. “What exactly do you want? Who else could it be other than you?”

Mo Jinrong frowned.

“Alright! I admit that I arranged for them to stand there.”

Mo Shengli shrugged helplessly.

“I’m actually protecting you. She may be your wife, but her surname isn’t Mo. I have been away for so many years and have long seen through human nature. Jinrong, you are still young, you don’t understand women. They marry you because they see that you are rich, powerful, handsome and outstanding, and that your family fortune is great.

Previously, the five of your women passed away because of their greed. When the first one passed away, they should have been alerted but in the end, they died because of greed. I admit that Lan Anran is beautiful and smart, but her surname is still Lan. The Mo Family’s big family business can’t be ruined by a woman.

I’m protecting you, protecting the entire Mo Family. Mom can’t see clearly and neither can you. Right now, I’m the only one who can see clearly. Trust me, there’s nothing wrong with this.”

Mo Shengli promised solemnly.

But to Mo Jingrong, all of this was a lie, an excuse for himself.

“Don’t say anymore. I don’t know what you’ve experienced over the years and why you became like this, but Anran is my wife, you can’t monitor her like this.”

Mo Jinrong warned.

“Alright! Since my nephew said so, I won’t interfere. But I have to talk with you about the company. I’ve recently made a big deal for the company. The Tan and Qin families are both involved. I know that you have decided to cooperate with them to reduce the price of herbs and split the market equally. But that wouldn’t benefit us at all. You have to think this through. The market is only so big and everyone wants a bite. Everyone wants to earn more than others. Those old foxes are much more shrewd than you, so I went to find the two of them. This way, when the other few families know about us, they will definitely turn hostile. When the time comes, they will fight amongst themselves while we reap the benefits.”

Mo Shengli had planned everything. He had deliberately sought out these two companies that were hostile to the Mo Family to cooperate. He believed that they would definitely take action.

“What right do you have to make a decision? I’m the one in charge of this company. Who gave you the right to contact them? The two families are going to cooperate. Don’t you know how important this cooperation is to the company? The Tan and Qin families are two old foxes that will swallow the Mo Family at any time.

Is there a reason for you to do this? Without the intention to cooperate, this contract can’t succeed. No matter what you want to do, the Mo Corporation is mine.”

Mo Jinrong reiterated his position. He was the real owner of this place.

“It’s too late, the contract has been signed. If we can’t do it, it will be seen as a breach of contract and we will have to pay three times the penalty, which will be six times the compensation. Otherwise, we will have to file a lawsuit. Jinrong, I’m your uncle, you can’t possibly send me to jail, right?

Besides, this matter is beneficial to our company. Although those two old foxes are hostile to our company, they also want to earn money for their businesses. I don’t think they will tamper with such a big deal, or they will end up harming themselves. As for those companies, when the time comes, they will fight amongst themselves. This matter has nothing to do with us, so why don’t we just push the blame to them?

They are all businessmen, both merchants and villains. After being in the business world for so many years, they should have already thought of something. You don’t have to worry about it,” Mo Shengli said.

“You… You just wait.”

Mo Jinrong trembled with anger as he returned to the office.

“Young Master, what should we do about this? If we cooperate, those two old foxes might do something to the company. They are well-known foxes in the industry. Some small companies that cooperated with them have been swallowed up by them in various ways.

If the price of the medicine hadn’t dropped, we probably wouldn’t have been able to get it in 8 lifetimes. If we don’t cooperate, six times the penalty wouldn’t be a small sum.”

Mo San was worried.

Mo Jinrong shut his mouth and thought hard. Mo Shengli had signed such an agreement while he wasn’t around. He probably wanted to set the company up. “Summoning a shareholder’s meeting isn’t a small matter. During the meeting, ask them to raise their hand and vote whether Mo Shengli’s rights in the company should be revoked. We shouldn’t have allowed him to come to the company.”

Mo Jinrong regretted his actions deeply, but it was useless.

“But Old Mrs. Mo wouldn’t agree to it, as she treats him as her biological son,” Mo San said.

“I’ll be by Old Mrs. Mo’s side. Grandma is a sensible person. He didn’t discuss such an important decision with me. It wouldn’t make sense no matter where we go. You can inform the shareholders.”

Mo Jinrong felt his head ache.

He remembered that when he was young, Mo Shengli had wanted to throw him into the sea. If Nanny Wu hadn’t appeared in time, he would have been eaten by the fish by now.
