Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 498 Miss Yuan: How Bold!

Since the other party was so brazen as to use such underhanded tactics to threaten and intimidate him, Lin Mo had no intention of resolving the matter peacefully.

He would use all his connections to try and influence the other party through the shopping page. If the other party's background was too powerful, he would wait until a good item appeared on the shopping page, then he would definitely give them a hard blow.

His goal wasn't to hurt the other person; if possible, he wanted to crush them and destroy their family background, which they were most proud of. Otherwise, people would really think he had no temper.

So he took the initiative to warn the other party that since the game had already started, they should play it to the end and not come back to apologize or ask someone to mediate.

You have your connections and family wealth, and I have my light and heavy machine guns and Dongfeng J-10 fighter jets. When you mess with me, you'd better be careful about the consequences. When I mess with you, you can choose a good place to go, instead of messing around here and there.

If things really escalate, even if Liu Ruyan comes to plead for him, he won't give her any face.

However, using firearms is a last resort, reserved for when all hope is lost. As for achieving his goal, there are other methods available now, depending on the extent to which the other side can achieve it.

With that in mind, he went straight to the studio of [Mengya Media]. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Wangcai wagging its tail and coming up to him, clearly recognizing him.

"Hey Lao Mo, look at our work's data today. It's only been a few hours since it was released, and it's already trending. It's already in the top ten trending topics, and if nothing unexpected happens, it might even reach number one."

As soon as she entered, Chuanmei excitedly announced that her collaboration with Zhao Yun on the project had yielded excellent results.

Although this work did not involve advertising, it will at least bring him a lot of attention and increase his number of fans.

The most important thing for internet celebrities is the number of followers, followed by popularity. There are quite a few accounts with a lot of followers that have almost no popularity due to various reasons.

Both the number of followers and the popularity are the basis for an account to monetize. Simply put, the more followers and the higher the popularity, the higher the advertising fees.

If an account has exceptionally high commercial value, even a simple advertisement can generate excellent results. Investors will flock to give it money, making money as easy as breathing.

But faced with something so joyful, Lin Mo remained expressionless, ignoring Chuan Mei, and instead looked at Miss Yuan, who was lying on the sofa like a shovel-wielding man, and bowed slightly as he said, "Sister Yuan!"

The sudden action, coupled with the solemn and gloomy expression on his face, instantly made the room so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Although no one knew what had happened, everyone knew something was wrong.

Especially Chuanmei and Wang Chu, the three of them had lived together for more than three years, so they naturally knew what kind of person their roommate was. He was usually cheerful and sometimes a bit abstract, but he was very optimistic. They had never seen him with this expression before.

So everyone immediately stopped smiling. Even Wangcai, who had been making a ruckus, seemed to sense something and shrank back into its little nest, becoming quiet.

Sensing the awkward atmosphere and not hearing Lin Mo speak again, Miss Yuan, who was lying on the sofa, finally took her phone away from her face. She was startled when she saw his expression: "What's wrong?"

"I have something to ask of you," Lin Mo said in a deep voice. His expression was serious and solemn, but there was also a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. He looked like a volcano about to erupt, which made everyone feel a little uneasy.

Seeing this, Miss Yuan forgot about playing the game, casually tossed her phone aside, and sat up abruptly: "What's wrong? Tell me!"

Although she and Lin Mo hadn't known each other for long, they had a good relationship. Moreover, Lin Mo had known for a long time that her family was well-off, but he had never asked her for anything. On the contrary, it was usually she who asked Lin Mo for help.

But now Lin Mo has actually taken the initiative to ask her for help. In Miss Yuan's opinion, something must have happened, and it must be something serious. Otherwise, given Lin Mo's personality, he would never ask her for help, especially now that he's dating Liu Ruyan.

Coupled with Lin Mo's gloomy face and his unsettlingly cold gaze, it was clear that something serious had happened. "Sister Yuan, can you help me see if I recognize these people?" Lin Mo said, handing the surveillance video he had captured on his phone to Miss Yuan.

Since the other party comes from a wealthy family, they are very likely in the circle of rich second-generation. And coincidentally, Miss Yuan is also a rich second-generation, and in Jiangning, she is not far from being a top-tier rich second-generation.

The main point is that not only is Miss Yuan's family wealthy, but her maternal grandparents' family are also officials within the system. In particular, Grandpa Jiang is still alive. Although we don't know his previous rank, we can tell from the fact that even his teacher, Professor Li, has to call him "old leader" that Grandpa Jiang's rank before retirement must have been quite high. After all, even Miss Yuan's maternal uncle, Grandpa Jiang's eldest son, is now a high-ranking leader, which speaks volumes.

Moreover, Liu Ruyan also said that Miss Yuan's family has a deep foundation, which is the accumulation of several generations, while her family only became wealthy in her father's generation.

With such a wealthy and influential family, Miss Yuan is at least one of the most prominent second-generation rich kids in Jiangning, so the probability of her knowing these people is naturally much higher.

In the past, he would have definitely asked his senior sister to help him investigate, and then discussed it with Liu Ruyan, but he no longer had that patience.

Yuan Xiao glanced at it, but didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Tell me what happened."

Lin Mo didn't hide anything from him and recounted the phone call he received yesterday noon and what happened this afternoon.

He even showed her the MMS message she had just sent him.

The message came from a virtual account. The other party was very cautious, not revealing any evidence. Since that was the case, he decided not to take the conventional route.

After listening to the message and reading the threatening MMS, Miss Yuan was furious and slammed her hand on the table: "How dare you!"

"Damn it, he didn't even bother to find out who you're working for. How dare he mess with my people, especially in my restaurant? Does he think I have no temper? Mo Zai, don't worry, Sister Yuan will settle this for you."

My family has a private room at your restaurant. Even if you ask my dad for help, he'll have to help with this.

I'll send it to my brother right now. I definitely don't know as many men as he does. I want to see who's so bold as to use their connections to seek revenge. Are they really not afraid of death?

After hearing this, Miss Yuan immediately exploded. "You're messing with my henchmen? What's the difference between that and looking down on me? And you're even launching an investigation and threatening me like that!"

This method might work against ordinary people without power or influence, but if you encounter a tough opponent, or even someone who is your equal, it's just handing them leverage.

As expected of Miss Yuan, she was very loyal. Seeing this, Lin Mo was also very moved. He felt that his calling her "Sister Yuan" was truly worthwhile.

"No need, I'll handle it myself. Sister Yuan, could you help me check these people's backgrounds, what their families do, what businesses they own, especially their family businesses? The more detailed the better, I need it!" Lin Mo said.

This is ultimately his business. Although Miss Yuan can resolve it, she will definitely have to use her family's connections to negotiate with the other party. The best outcome would be for both sides to compromise and pretend that this never happened. After all, we live in a society governed by the rule of law. Even if they find out, what can they do?
Can we really expect Miss Yuan's family to help us get revenge? The fact that they even helped mediate is already a huge favor.

He didn't want to see a compromise from either side, so he decided to do it his own way.

Miss Yuan rolled her eyes at him and spat, "What good are you? Can you run him over with your car?"
