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

Xu Heng immediately went out and arrived at the room of the leading mercenary, but no one opened the door.

He immediately called Shen Mingtang, "Uncle Mingtang, bring the room key over, quick."

A short while later, Shen Mingtang personally brought the room key to open the door.

Shen Qing arrived with the child in her arms, and Chen Hong stayed by her side without leaving her for a moment.

The moment the room key was swiped to open the door, the lights in the room came on, and the bed was empty.

There was only a pool of blood, a large, dark red stain that had seeped into the white sheet and wasn't completely dry yet.

Xu Heng wiped the bloodstain with his finger and brought it to his nose to smell it.

His expression changed completely. He stood up abruptly, looked at Shen Mingtang, and spoke in a low, suppressed voice.

"Shen Mingtang, your Shen family is courting death!"

Shen Mingtang's face turned pale.

"Xiao Heng... it wasn't me, it has nothing to do with me! You know, my Shen family has long since cleared its name, we never raised such an expert."

"These people you brought look really capable...it must be Chen Mo!"

"He has a very capable team of security personnel under him, especially Lu Chen, who is well-known in the bodyguard industry..."

He took out his phone, "Xiao Heng, I'm calling the police right away..."

Xu Heng slapped the phone out of his hand, "Report my ass!"

He took a deep breath and stared into Shen Mingtang's eyes.

"Shen Mingtang, I know it wasn't your men who killed him, but the power and surveillance cameras were just sabotaged. You're saying it has nothing to do with you?"

"You fucking dare to betray me, teaming up with Chen Mo's men..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Hong stepped forward and slapped Xu Heng across the face.

Snapped!

Chen Hong was very strong. Xu Heng's face was turned to one side after being hit. He covered his face and looked incredulous. "You motherfucker, how dare a mere nanny hit me?"

Shen Qing stepped forward with the child in her arms and slapped Xu Heng on the other side of his face, then quickly hid behind Chen Hong.

"Xu Heng, my Shen family has tolerated you for a long time. My Shen family has made so much money for you, but you have always treated us as ATMs and servants."

"Tonight you even took me hostage, you son of a bitch, and you still called me your woman?"

Her voice carried a hint of resentment that had been suppressed for a long time.

"I am Chen Mo's woman, and my Shen family has already pledged allegiance to him."

Shen Mingtang picked up the phone, his humble expression vanished, and slapped Xu Heng across the face again.

"That's right, I've already sided with Mr. Chen."

"Hahaha, the expert you hired was killed without a trace in the few minutes of the power outage. Your Xu family is nothing in front of the super power behind him."

Xu Heng stood there, covering his cheeks, which were red from being slapped, looking at Shen Qing and Shen Mingtang, then at the bloodstain on the bed…

Fear welled up in his eyes.

Yes, those five are people even Lu Chen doesn't take seriously.

Now, dead?

He ran out the door and went to other rooms.

Shen Mingtang opened the door. The room was empty; there was no blood, no one, and not even any sign of struggle.

Xu Heng plopped down on the ground.

Shen Mingtang and Shen Qing exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with fear.

"Xu Heng, do you need me to call the police for you? Heh, those five, are they from overseas? Your Xu family really has a lot of influence."

"Or, would you like to talk to Mr. Chen? After all, it was your Xu family that struck first and harmed people. The fact that you're still alive is already a sign of Mr. Chen's leniency."

Xu Heng looked at Shen Mingtang, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's talk, I'll talk."

"Alright, then arrange for Xu Wei to turn himself in first. I'll inform Mr. Chen tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

Xu Heng stood up, walked back to his room in a daze, closed the door, his whole body was still trembling, and slowly slid to the ground, leaning against the door.

He took out his phone again and continued to make calls, but none of them went through.

He just sat there, his eyes red...

Then, I made a phone call.

"We failed. Viper and the others have completely disappeared... Yes, I understand. Let Xu Wei turn himself in. Let's settle this matter first, and take revenge later."

In the top-floor room, Shen Qing sat on the bed while Shen Mingtang stood.

"Xiao Qing, take out that bugging device."

Shen Qing took the bugging device out of Zhuo Zhuo's blanket.

Shen Mingtang stepped forward. "Mr. Chen, are you asleep? May I call you?"

He made a phone call, but no one answered.

"Xiao Qing, he should be asleep."

"Dad, since you've been cooperating with Chen Mo for so long, why did you still ask me to get the bugging device? He probably hates me now."

"No! I didn't cooperate with him, I didn't even know he was going to make his move tonight."

"Huh? How could that be? Who sabotaged the electricity and surveillance systems?"

Shen Mingtang shook his head. "I don't know. I've asked around and checked, but no one saw it."

"Xiao Qing, we were wrong tonight, terribly wrong. The power behind Chen Mo is far more terrifying than we imagined."

Shen Qing's eyes widened. "Oh my god... no, I must beg for his forgiveness tomorrow."

"Yes, Xiaoqing, you should divorce Liang Zhenghao as soon as possible. From now on, you will be Chen Mo's woman. No matter what, you must ask him to protect my Shen family."

"Dad, I know what to do."

"Okay, then you should go to sleep first."

At this moment, Chen Mo was not asleep.

But he didn't answer Shen Mingtang's call; he wanted to leave them hanging.

Gu Qingyao was still awake in his arms, watching a short drama.

However, tonight's result was good.

Shen Qing, that woman, is indeed very clever. She seized upon his pledge of allegiance to the Shen family and had Chen Hong slap Xu Heng across the face.

"It's late, time to sleep."

"I'll watch one more episode."

"No, go to sleep now."

Chen Mo confiscated her phone.

"You're so domineering. Let's sleep then, honey, let me hug you."

Gu Qingyao hugged him and nestled against his chest.

The next morning, Gu Chengyuan knocked on the door.

"Xiao Mo, are you awake? Something great has happened."

Chen Mo opened the door, still sleepy-eyed. "Uncle, did Xu Wei turn himself in?"

Gu Chengyuan's eyes widened. "You knew?"

"I guessed it. So next, we need to take over the Xu family's businesses in Baiyue and Nanyue provinces, and we should also talk about cooperation with the Shen family."

Gu Chengyuan was beaming with excitement. "Sure enough, trusting Xiao Mo will bring you a windfall."

At that moment, Chen Mo received a call from Shen Qing.

"Brother Mo, Xu Wei has turned himself in, and Xu Heng wants to talk to you again."

"Okay, I'll be there in a bit."

"Okay, I've prepared breakfast. Bring Qingyao over to eat."

After washing up, Chen Mo led Gu Chengyuan and Gu Qingyao to Shenxiang Villa, where they met Shen Mingtang and Shen Qing in the large private room from the previous night, as well as Xu Heng, who looked very haggard.

Chen Mo scanned the area, using his X-ray vision to make sure there were no listening devices or surveillance cameras.

"Oh? Mr. Xu, did you not sleep well last night? Your dark circles are really bad. Would you like me to take your pulse and prescribe some medicine?"

Xu Heng's face was grim. "Chen Mo, where are my men?"

"What, your people?"

"Don't pretend! Last night, all five of my men disappeared. Give them back to me, and I'll agree to all your conditions."

"What missing? Five? I don't understand." Chen Mo looked puzzled. "I was sleeping with Qingyao in my arms at the Gu family villa last night."

Gu Qingyao was also puzzled, "Yes, Chen Mo stayed at my house all night."

Xu Heng flew into a rage. "Chen Mo, I've already gotten Xu Wei to turn himself in, and I can transfer those assets to you, but you must give me those people, otherwise..."

Chen Mo slammed his hand on the table.

"What else can we do? Why don't we call the police? Just say your person has gone missing."

"Have the police investigate how your Xu family allowed Viper's ruthless mercenaries to enter the country."

"You..." Xu Heng's face was filled with terror.

"Mr. Xu, let's leave this matter here. Let's keep things peaceful. Come on, let's talk about those businesses."

Xu Heng took a deep breath. "Mr. Chen, you're right. Peace is the most important thing. Let's do as you say. Prepare the agreement."

But a roar erupted within him.

Chen Mo, if the Shen family hadn't betrayed me, do you think I would have lost?

"You think the Xu family only has this much power? Just wait, this isn't over. I want to see how many people your backing can protect!"

Chen Mo saw Xu Heng's inner thoughts and cursed him under his breath as an idiot.
