It's already 2026, how can we still talk about having many children and having many blessings?

Chen Mo snorted coldly.

"Mr. Xu, do you think two lives can be exchanged for property? Or should I kill you, then tell the Xu family to name their terms?"

Xu Heng frowned. "Mr. Chen, I remember you're the Gu family's son-in-law, right? Are you in charge here?"

"Xiao Mo is my son-in-law. I have no son. Everything in Sheng Heng will belong to him and my daughter. Of course, he can make the decisions," Gu Chengyuan said with a smile.

"I see." Xu Heng smiled.

"Mr. Gu, have you told Mr. Chen about the Xu family's situation?"

"It's best to get to know each other before making any talks, so as not to make any unrealistic demands that could damage the relationship."

Chen Mo smiled and nodded to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen took a tablet computer out of his briefcase, placed it on the table with the screen facing up, and began to read it aloud one by one.

"The Xu family, Xu's International Investment Group, is headquartered in the Cayman Islands and operates domestically through three entities: 'Huaxin Capital,' 'Yuanyang Hongxiang Holdings,' and 'Shengkuang Industry.'"

"In Baiyue Province, we hold partial equity in two five-star hotels and a commercial complex project through Oceanwide Holdings."

"In Guangdong Province, Shengkuang Industrial Holdings controls a mining company and several mineral vein development rights."

"In addition, the Xu family also holds a 20% stake in Ningcheng Shenxiang Mountain Villa through offshore companies, as well as approximately 10% of the circulating shares of three listed companies in Baiyue Province..."

Lu Chen read for nearly three minutes.

He recounted the Xu family's domestic industrial layout, equity structure, capital flow, and even some little-known gray channels and affiliated companies.

Xu Heng appeared calm, but was inwardly shocked.

How is that possible? How could they have found this information?

The equity structure of Oceanwide Hongxiang Holdings and Shengkuang Industry is achieved through multiple layers of offshore companies, which cannot be traced domestically…

Gu Chengyuan and Gu Qingyao were also shocked.

The Xu family is much larger than they imagined.

But seeing Chen Mo's calm expression, their hearts burned with excitement.

Xiao Mo isn't afraid at all; the power behind him is absolutely comparable to the Xu family—a super powerful backer.

The other bigwigs present also had various expressions.

Qin Tianping sat in the corner, his back already covered in a layer of cold sweat.

[Oh my god, I shouldn't have taken this job. I thought he just had influence in the cultural circle, but now it seems it's not that simple at all...]

No, I have to get my granddaughter to act quickly. Even if she can't win him over, she has to become his woman. Multiple investments are needed to help the Qin family rise again.

Chen Mo looked at the old man.

Damn it, you said you'd send your granddaughter over before the New Year, hurry up and send her already!

However, it seems he didn't give them a chance.

Well, once we've resolved the Xu family's matter, we need to give them a chance.

Look how beautiful Qin Tianping's granddaughter is.

At this moment, Shen Mingtang, the head of the Shen family, sat upright to the side, looking at Chen Mo with a very different gaze.

[Is he the Chen Mo that Xiaoqing mentioned? He is indeed handsome and talented. Xiaoqing said she likes him quite a bit, and he is crucial to whether the Shen family can acquire the Liang family's assets...]

Xu Heng remained silent for a while.

"Now that Mr. Chen has investigated, things are much easier. Mr. Chen, what do you think is the best way to resolve this matter?"

Chen Mo smiled.

"Mr. Xu, since you say that what Xu Wei did has nothing to do with the Xu family, then before discussing other conditions, you should first have Xu Wei turn himself in."

Xu Heng's expression instantly darkened.

"Absolutely not. The premise for any talks is that the Xu family has nothing to do with this matter, including any member of the Xu family."

"Oh, then let's not talk about it." Chen Mo stood up.

"Mr. Chen, are you sure you want to do this?"

Chen Mo slammed his hand on the table.

"What the hell are you talking about? It was your Xu family who wanted to kill someone, and now that things have been exposed, you still think you're in the right?"

"Let me put it this way: if you want to settle this matter, I will make you pay the heaviest price. The conditions you just mentioned are only the first one."

"You only have one chance to talk. If you still want to talk, then hurry up, otherwise, get out."

The middle-aged woman suddenly stood up, trembling with anger, and pointed her finger at Chen Mo's nose.

"You little rascal! Do you even know how many properties the Xu family owns in Shanghai, Beijing, and overseas?"

"You think you can blackmail us with a few recordings? The Xu family, whether in business or through other means, is not someone you can afford to mess with! Aren't you afraid of dying?"

Chen Mo glanced at her, "You can give it a try."

He turned to look at Gu Chengyuan and Gu Qingyao, "Uncle, Qingyao, let's go."

They all stood up.

Xu Heng's face was cold and his jaw was clenched.

"Okay, I'll have Xu Wei turn himself in and take responsibility for this, but you must destroy those recordings."

Chen Mo turned around and smiled.

"That's right, now let's talk about the second condition."

He glanced at the list of industries that Lu Chen was displaying on the tablet.

"I don't ask for much. I just want the Xu family's businesses in Baiyue and Nanyue provinces transferred to Shengheng."

Xu Heng slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly.

"Mr. Chen, don't push your luck! These businesses combined are worth over 1.5 billion yuan, and you're still asking for too little?"

"If that's the case, then it's a fight to the death!"

"Fine, let's fight to the death." Chen Mo said nonchalantly, "Mr. Xu, do you think I'm negotiating with you?"

Xu Heng stood there, his chest heaving violently.

Watching from behind, Gu Chengyuan felt even more excited.

His old fighting spirit was rekindled, and he straightened his back.

Qin Tianping was terrified, his palms were sweaty.

Shen Mingtang held his teacup, his gaze burning as he looked at Chen Mo.

Xu Heng plopped down, his previous nonchalant demeanor completely gone.

He was silent for a long time.

"Okay...here you go."

[Hmph, even if I sell it to you, I have ways to make sure you only get an empty shell.]

Besides, how could I possibly give it to you? It's just a pretext to delay. Just wait, you'll all die.

Chen Mo understood Xu Heng's inner thoughts.

"That's right. Okay, once you've carried it out, the recording will be destroyed."

He looked around. "Hmm? When will the food be served? I'm a little hungry."

"I'll have the food served right away."

Shen Mingtang stood up, a smile on his face, and took out a black card from his pocket.

"Mr. Chen, here is your card. It is a VIP card for all the properties under my Shen family's name, including a lifetime membership to this Shenxiang Mountain Villa."

Chen Mo accepted it without hesitation.

After all, it was given to her by her maternal grandfather, how could she refuse it?

"Thank you, Mr. Shen."

"Don't mention it."

With a broad smile, Shen Mingtang personally arranged for the dishes to be served.

Xu Heng and the middle-aged woman stood up with grim expressions.

"We'll skip the meal and leave now."

The door closed.

After a moment of silence in the private room, Gu Chengyuan suddenly sat down, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

"Xiao Mo, you're really bold to ask for that! It's a 1.5 billion yuan business; they definitely won't be willing to part with it."

Chen Mo picked up his teacup. "They can't bear to part with it, so they won't actually give it to him. He's just stalling for time."

Gu Chengyuan frowned, "Then why are you still..."

"When he has used the most powerful methods but found them ineffective, he will give it to him."

Chen Mo glanced at Lu Chen, who nodded and led a few people away.
