Chapter 418 The Talker
"What on earth are you talking about?" Huo Qiyun frowned, as if he had lost all interest in this farce.
He breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked directly outside. The people sent by Eric immediately pointed guns at him.
Huo Qiyun pretended not to see it and continued forward with big strides: "If you want to kill me, then go ahead. Anyway, to me, there is no difference between life and death."
Eric was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he had no way to deal with this person.
Luna's figure came running from a distance, and she had somewhat lost the image of a lady. She quickly grabbed Huo Qiyun's hand, observed carefully, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was not injured.
"Ma'am, we should keep some distance. Otherwise, you and your family will unfortunately be affected by the war. I don't want to affect you."
Huo Qiyun took a step back and made the matter clear indifferently.
Miss Luna usually has a good relationship with Aretha. If we just talk about their identities, she can also control Eric's actions.
"Eric, are you crazy now? You attacked the merchants without permission." Luna was rejected, but she did not vent her anger on Huo Qiyun. She just accused him sharply.
There has always been a rumor in the circle that Luna particularly likes Huo Qiyun and is willing to betray her family for him. At the beginning, Huo Qiyun was able to gain a foothold in the lighthouse because of the forces behind Luna.
Otherwise, just because of his black hair and black eyes, he would never be treated well here!
Now Eric himself witnessed the truth of the rumor with his own eyes. A hint of indifference flashed across his eyes, and he even waved his hand a little irritably.
The guards who received the order looked at each other, and they didn't dare to take the initiative to step forward and pull the young lady.
There was a man who wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a name for himself, but before he could get close, Luna slapped him in the face.
"Anyone who dares to touch me will have a good chat with my father!"
"Or... do you also want to make enemies with my family and stop engaging in business activities with them from now on?"
The guards immediately retreated dejectedly, like eggplants hit by frost.
Huo Qiyun successfully left, and Luna trotted after him, with only this man in her eyes.
The only one left, Mo Cuilin, sat there and shrugged helplessly, indicating that he knew nothing about the chaos.
"Mr. Eric, no matter what you want to do, we don't mind cooperating with you."
"However, you barged in without permission and investigated us without any reason. I still need to report this matter to the Chamber of Commerce."
"Whoever you want to find, feel free to search everywhere. If you can't find them, we will consider giving you a clue."
Mo Cuilin also wanted to leave, but it was not so easy for him to escape.
"Where are Huo Jinzhi and Shen Zhuyi who came with you now?" Eric asked the question sharply, his eyes seemed to have a magical power that could see through people's hearts, and he stared straight at Mo Cuilin.
"If she's not upstairs, where else could she be? I haven't seen her these past few days. I heard that Chen Zhu is sick. If... I could really let her stay here to recuperate, that would be a great thing."
Mo Cuilin lazily played with the teacup beside him. The only sound here was the sound of the porcelain colliding with the table surface and rotating, which was terribly muffled.
He confessed his thoughts so frankly that it was difficult for Eric to distinguish the truth from the falsehood.
"Our people have checked up there and there's no trace of them. Hiding a fugitive without permission is a capital crime." Eric said, pointing upstairs.
The cup in Mo Cuilin's hand suddenly stopped spinning on the table and fell directly to the ground, with porcelain fragments splattering to the side. Mo Cuilin was not injured, but was just a little dazed.
He kicked a man not far away, his eyes spitting fire: "Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on them? Where did they go?"
The man who was beaten pressed his fingers on the broken pieces of porcelain, his expression distorted, but his body remained tense. He did not dare to delay and answered tremblingly.
"We've been watching him the whole time, but we don't know where he's gone. There are even a few machines and a professor-level figure who are going to follow us back!"
"If these people hadn't shown up, wouldn't the credit have belonged to you?"
The man did not forget to mention the benefits after the disappearance of Chen Zhuyi and Huo Jinzhi.
The Lighthouse Country is so big, and without enough money, taking care of a seriously ill woman is almost impossible to survive!
"Mr. Eric, please help us investigate thoroughly. As long as you can find their whereabouts, we will let bygones be bygones."
Mo Cuilin just lowered his eyelids, and after thinking for a moment, he quickly smiled and took the initiative to hold Eric's hand, as if surrendering.
"I hope I can have the opportunity to fully control the Mo family's wealth, rather than watching those old men put their hopes on a little girl."
"How can a group of women be able to rule the country?"
When talking about these things, Mo Cuilin did not hide the contempt in his tone at all, only showing his arrogant side, and he did not think there was anything wrong with saying so.
Eric looked at the emotional fluctuations in his eyes and found it increasingly difficult to see through this man.
"Aren't you... very willing to help him overcome his difficulties? If you hadn't been out there selling those things from the East, this batch of goods wouldn't have been released slowly." Eric brought this up as if testing the waters.
"I'm the future head of the Mo family. Do you want me to go out and show my face in public and introduce things like those ordinary people?" Mo Cuilin sneered and gritted his teeth.
He seemed to treat his experience that day as his own shame.
Only when a few old men become wealthy will they start hawking their wares on the streets or even give things away for free.
Nowadays, the Mohist School has a very good reputation even in the Lighthouse, and the goods in their hands can be regarded as a symbol of the East.
As the person in charge, Mo Cuilin only needs to wait and order his subordinates to act, instead of taking action himself!
"Even if I succeed, the results will only belong to me. It would be best if this woman could die in a corner somewhere."
"If I can control the entire family, it will bring you more benefits, right?"
Mo Cuilin put forward the conditions with a distorted expression.
