Everything was normal when we were trading with them. It was a simple exchange of money for goods. They delivered the goods, and the other party paid.

After the transaction was completed and they were leaving the other party's territory, they were ambushed.

The enemy attacked fiercely, and after suffering heavy losses, they finally managed to escort Boss Chen out of the encirclement.

But unexpectedly, after breaking out of the encirclement, there was still a sniper lying in ambush. When the bullets came, Mo Li, who protected Chen Laoda all the way, showed amazing combat power and blocked the fatal shot for Chen Laoda.

Looking at Mo Li lying in front of him, even Chen Laoda's heart, which had been hardened for many years, trembled.

It wasn't that no one had ever taken a bullet or a knife for him, but Mo Li was the one who shocked him the most!

With red-rimmed eyes, Old Chen had Mo Li lift him up. "Save him! We must save him! Even if he has one foot in the grave, we must get him out!"

After utilizing the best medical resources and equipment, Mo Li was finally saved from the brink of death.

After spending a month or so in the hospital to recover from her injuries, Mo Li returned to Boss Chen's side.

After this incident, Boss Chen completely regarded Mo Li as a confidant.

Previously, he was entrusted with important responsibilities while being suppressed at every turn. Now, he has real power and his status has risen sharply.

...

Inside the brightly lit KTV room, a dozen young people sat on leather sofas, while a row of beautiful young girls stood in the center of the room.

Everyone chose the girl they liked, except for one person who remained unmoved.

"Thirteen, you're not giving us any face. It's one thing if you don't usually play with us, but today we all get together, and you're just being so irresponsible."

“Yeah, Thirteen, you just got back from abroad with your life hanging by a thread, how come you still haven’t figured it out? Life is short, you should enjoy it while you can.”

Someone gave the girl next to them a wink, and the girl immediately understood and walked over to Mo Li, who was sitting in the corner.

Although this guest was sitting on the far side, he had an aura that was impossible to ignore.

He had long, jet-black hair, his head was bowed, his black hair hanging down, and he was holding a samurai sword in his arms.

Although it was not yet drawn, it already evoked a sense of solemnity and fear.

As the girl approached Mo Li, she suddenly covered her mouth and let out a soft gasp.

Before getting close to Mo Li, the girl was curious and expectant about his appearance. With such a figure, his face couldn't be too bad either.

But she didn't expect to see a face covered in scars.

Ugly scars crisscrossed the man's face, a shocking sight.

After a brief moment of surprise, her excellent professionalism brought back a sweet smile to the girl's face.

Just as she was about to take it a step further and sit down next to Mo Li.

A bright light flashed before my eyes, and then a strand of hair fell gently to the ground beside my cheek.

After regaining her senses, the girl turned pale with fright, her back drenched in cold sweat, and dared not approach Mo Li again.

A wave of lingering fear washed over me.

What a fast knife! If the other party really wanted to kill her, she probably wouldn't even have time to react before she was already a victim of the blade.

Mo Li stood up and walked out. After Mo Li left, there was a moment of silence in the private room, except for the deafening music playing.

The girl was shoved hard from behind.

"What's wrong with you? I told you to go keep him company, but you just stood there like a block of wood!"

The girl still looked frightened. She picked up a broken hair from the ground and said aggrievedly, "He scared me with a knife."

Upon seeing the hair in the girl's hand, everyone started talking at once.

"Damn! Is he impotent? Or does he prefer men?"

"Who knows? You all know about his relationship with his godfather. He might have already slept with his godfather."

"No matter what, she is now the apple of my godfather's eye. All of us combined probably don't even count as important to him as she is."

"You can't say that. He's not my godfather's biological son after all. No matter how much my godfather values ​​him, he still understands some things."

...

Chen Jiu caught up with him, "Thirteen, aren't you going to play anymore?"

"Hmm," Mo Li replied indifferently.

"Thirteen, out of all these brothers, you and I are the closest. I truly consider you a brother. What have you thought about what happened last time?"

Mo Li looked at Chen Jiu, her cold eyes devoid of any emotion. "I am not interested in the struggle between you. I am only loyal to my godfather."

Chen Jiu smiled slightly and silently mouthed, "Xia Linyin."

Suddenly, Mo Li grabbed Chen Jiu by the neck, pinning him against the corridor wall. An intense, suffocating killing intent emanated from him as he asked in a chilling tone, "How did you find out?"

His eyes seemed to flow with hellish lava, and in that instant, Chen Jiu felt a fear as if his heart was about to burst.

Chen Jiu managed to utter, "When you had a high fever during training, you murmured this name in your sleep, and I remembered it."

That high fever almost cost Mo Li his life, and it was Chen Jiu who stayed by his side to take care of him.

So among all these brothers, Mo Li was only close to Chen Jiu.

"What else do you know?" Mo Li's voice sounded like it came from hell.

"I also know that you send her a gift every year."

"I am the only one who knows about this right now, Thirteen. You have done a good job of keeping it secret, but there are no secrets that stay hidden forever. Sooner or later, our godfather will find out about this."

"And you know the consequences if your godfather finds out."

I don't want you to regret it!

Despite his pained expression, Chen Jiu still managed to shout out his last words. As the pressure on his neck eased, he clutched his reddened neck and coughed violently.

A fierce hatred flashed in Chen Jiu's eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I hate him!"

"The first thing he taught me was to kill my mother with my own hands. He told me that my mother would be a burden to me, but where was he when I was born, when my mother was raising me to make a living?"

"Although life was poor and tough before, those were the happiest times of my life. My mom always saved the best things for me."

Peeling back his memories, dripping with blood, Chen Jiu's voice trembled, and tears welled in his eyes.

Blinking to force back her tears, Chen Jiu slammed her fist against the wall. "He's a heartless and ungrateful beast!"

“If your godfather finds out about her, he’ll make you kill her yourself. After all, emotions can make people weak, give them leverage, and make you a potential threat,” Chen Jiu said coldly.

Mo Li had already regained control of her emotions and said expressionlessly, "I was just playing around."

"Just playing around?" Chen Jiu sneered. "Even a ghost wouldn't believe you'd play like that!"

"I'll consider what you said," Mo Li said before leaving.

Chen Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. With Chen Shisan's help, his chances of taking over Chen Laoda's power in the future had increased.
