Chapter 136: Chen Mo's Office Desk

"Smart choice." Chen Mo nodded, took out paper and pen, "Write down the account password and the hidden money location."

Mary took the paper and pen, dawdled for a while, and finally finished writing.

Chen Mo took the paper, glanced at it twice, frowned and said, "Why is there only the account password? Where's the hidden money location?"

"The place where the money is hidden is very secret; even if I tell you, you couldn't find it. As long as you agree to let me go, I can take you there."

Chen Mo stared at Mary for a while, then slowly said, "Very well, I'll send someone with you to get the money; you'd better not cheat me!"

Mary felt a chill in her heart under Chen Mo's stare and involuntarily swallowed.

Seeing Mary a little nervous, Chen Mo gave a gentle smile, "Sister Mary, don't be nervous; I speak with the utmost credibility. We already completed a transaction before, so you should trust me."

"Hmph, you're just trying to use a borrowed knife to kill, letting A Chen deal with Ni Yongxiao, that's no credit!"

When Chen Mo stopped staring at her, Mary relaxed.

Only she didn't know that it was he who told Ni Yongxiao the truth about Ni Kun's death; otherwise, even if she died, she wouldn't hand over the money.

"A Chen couldn't handle Ni Yongxiao; his skill is inferior. Originally, the hidden money was meant for bonuses and to avenge Ni Yongxiao's family by killing them. Now that the money is given to you, can you eliminate the Ni family for me?"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow; Mary still dared to make a request?

"Oh? Weren't all the Ni family members already locked up by the police?"

The few surviving members of the Ni family didn't partake in the family's drug trafficking, but relying on Ni's influence in Jianshazui, they still caused trouble.

After being captured this time, none of them were released.

"Also Ni Yongxiao's mother and wife," Mary spat out.

Chen Mo frowned; weren't they taken by the Siamese men sent by Han Chen? Does Mary not know?

"To my knowledge, that night the Ni villa was broken into; Ni Yongxiao's mother and wife seem to have been taken, the rest were all killed. Isn't that Han Chen's doing?"

"Yes, but later they were rescued by the Ni family's bodyguard Luo Ji, and now their whereabouts are unknown."

Chen Mo gave Mary a meaning‑laden look, "Luo Ji? I've heard of him. Seems he's fiercely loyal to the Ni family."

Mary nodded, "Indeed, Luo Ji has been with the Ni family for many years, the most loyal bodyguard. With him protecting Ni Yongxiao's wife and mother, I can't take revenge."

Chen Mo tapped his fingers on the desk, thought for a moment, then said, "You want me to avenge you; it's not impossible, but what reward can you offer? I said before, I never do losing‑business."

Mary fumed, "Is giving you all of A Chen's money still not enough? That cash alone is at least eighty‑plus million, plus over twenty million in the bank account—over a hundred million total."

Chen Mo shook his head, "Insufficient. That money bought your life. Without it, you'd already be dead."

Mary stared at Chen Mo, after a moment exhaled slowly, and said, "I still have a file in my hand, the information A Chen sent to the police station for undercover agents, about seven or eight people. You can use this file to contact those undercover agents and have them work for you. Enough?"

Chen Mo shook his head again, "Insufficient. The information sounds good, but it's of little use to me."

"I know the police officer Liu Jianming who helped you kill Ni Kun is one of Han Chen's undercover agents."

"If that batch of undercover agents are similar to Liu Jianming, for this kind of staff‑officer‑level police undercover, I can buy them anytime; as many as needed."

Mary frowned, "Besides that file, I have nothing else to give you."

"You should know that the hardest part of avenging you isn't the killing, but finding the people; it's very troublesome. Having me help isn't impossible, unless…"

"Unless what?" Mary, seeing a chance, hurriedly asked.

"Unless…" Chen Mo raised an eyebrow at Mary, scanning her up and down a few times.

The meaning was self‑evident.

"You wish!" Mary shouted angrily, "I will never betray A Chen!"

"You'd better think it through," Chen Mo said with a contemptuous smile, "After today, even if you locate Luo Ji, you can't deal with him. Revenge will be hopeless."

"If you agree, I'll immediately dispatch people to find them; if we're quick, we might even catch up with Han Chen's top seven."

Having said that, Chen Mo leaned back in his chair, lit a cigarette, and waited for Mary's reply.

Mary's expression shifted, her heart tangled in conflict.

"The chance comes only once; miss it and it's gone."

"Honestly, a useless piece of information plus you, and I can mobilize thousands of underlings to find people for you; revenge becomes very worthwhile."

"I heard Ni Yongxiao's wife is about to give birth; if it's a son, Ni Yongxiao will have an heir. In future festivals, people will still burn paper for him…"

"You stop talking!"

Under Chen Mo's verbal provocation, Mary let out a broken scream. After the breakdown, she still made a choice.

I heard that Ni Yongxiao's wife is about to give birth; if she gives birth to a son, then Ni Yongxiao would also be considered to have an heir. In the future, during holidays, there will still be people burning paper offerings for him....

Chen Mo's mouth curled into a smile.

"A widower! That's exactly the type Chen Mo liked most before he time‑traveled."

He also wondered whether Yinghuaguo in this world had already filmed this series; he'll call Jimi in Yinghuaguo later and ask him to help look.

Chen Mo hooked a finger toward Mary, spread his legs, "Come over."

Mary trudged forward step by step, approaching Chen Mo, and slowly crouched down.

Chen Mo's desk was custom‑made when the office was renovated, much larger than a typical desk.

Chen Mo always thought a bigger desk could serve more purposes.

Unfortunately, Chen Mo's office has a lounge, and the lounge contains a bed.

That bed takes on more than half the workload, leaving Chen Mo's desk to be used only for office work.

Chen Mo has long wanted Li Li to cooperate with his experiments on the desk's other functions, but she always refused.

Consequently, the experiments on the desk's other functions have been postponed until today.

Today, this desk finally exercised its non‑office functions.

Yet this also makes Chen Mo suspect that Sha Qiang might have cut corners when he did the renovation.

Therefore, the matter of the experimental desk's other functions kept being postponed until today.

Today, this desk finally exerted its function beyond office work.

However, this also made Chen Mo suspect whether Sha Qiang had cut corners when helping him with the renovation.

This office desk isn't as sturdy as I thought.

Whenever Chen Mo jumps up doing Michael Jackson's dance steps, the desk always makes a 'creak creak' sound.

But there's an advantage: with Mary joining in, the duet doesn't sound so monotonous.

After over an hour, Mary lay limp on the ground, gasping heavily.

Chen Mo sat in the chair, smoking, staring blankly at the mark left on the desk.

The finish on this desk is really well done!
