Chapter 291: Jiang Tiansheng Goes Offline

During the meal, Chen Mo and Ou Yong'en didn't experience any particular incident.

The two chatted fairly well, mainly because Chen Mo could keep up with any topic.

Chen Mo could tell that, although Sandy had told Ou Yong'en about Chen Mo having many girlfriends, Ou Yong'en didn't seem to reject it and held no resentment toward Chen Mo.

On the contrary, Ou Yong'en was very curious about Chen Mo.

She wondered why a short mule mixed in the Triad Society could make so much money, and why he could still manage Sandy despite having several women.

The meal lasted over two hours; Ou Yong'en asked a jumble of questions, and Chen Mo answered her to varying degrees.

By the end of the meal, Ou Yong'en grew even more curious: why could Chen Mo, who never attended university, know so much?

Chen Mo felt a private pride; the image of a misguided yet ambitious self‑taught youth he had crafted before Sandy resurfaced.

After they finished eating, it was already past eight at night, and the sky had long been dark.

Ou Yong'en had also had some wine and looked slightly tipsy.

Chen Mo took on the important task of escorting her home.

Under Ou Yong'en's direction, Chen Mo parked the car at the gate of a detached villa in Kowloon Tong.

"Do you live here?" a hint of surprise flashed in Chen Mo's eyes.

The detached villa in Kowloon Tong was far more upscale than the building he currently lived in.

Ou Yong'en unbuckled her seatbelt, leaned sideways on the seat, and looked at Chen Mo with a slightly dazed gaze.

"Yeah, this is my place. Want to come in and have a glass of water?"

Chen Mo's eyes lit up: just one meal, and she invites me home for water?

"Sure, I just had some wine, now I'm a bit thirsty."

"Hahaha...."

Just as Chen Mo bent down to unfasten his seatbelt, Ou Yong'en's laughter rang in his ears.

"Sandy sister was right, you really do have ill intentions toward me. My Qi Ye is at home, you should just go home for water!"

After saying that, she opened the car door and ran out.

"Bye~"

At this moment, there was no trace of drunkenness in Ou Yong'en's eyes; the earlier act was just a pretense to tease Chen Mo!

Chen Mo felt his teeth itch with anger, yet he was helpless against her.

You little brat, wait for me; sooner or later I'll make you kneel and sing 'Conquest'!

On the drive home, Chen Mo grew increasingly angry.

No way, this can't just be let go; when have I ever been toyed with by a woman!

It was all Sandy's doing; go find her!

Chen Mo slammed the steering wheel, the car swerved, heading toward Sandy's apartment.

Near midnight, Chen Mo was still punishing Sandy when the phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.

Chen Mo grabbed the phone and hung up immediately.

How could one answer the phone at this time!

After a dozen minutes, the phone rang again.

Chen Mo hung up once more.

Unexpectedly, just after Chen Mo hung up, the phone rang again.

Chen Mo guessed it might be something urgent, but couldn't it wait a moment?

Do they have to call at this moment?

Because of the ringing, Sandy gained a brief respite.

"How about... you answer the phone first, I... rest... rest..."

Chen Mo looked down from his height at Sandy, one hand pressing the two legs on her shoulder, the other holding the phone.

"You still want to rest? No way!"

Seeing the phone keep ringing, Chen Mo forced himself to answer despite his anger.

"Who is it! It's late night, can't you let me sleep!"

"It's me! Shisanmei!" came the voice on the phone.

She was his former boss, now able to call Chen Mo nonstop at midnight.

Chen Mo's subordinates wouldn't have the nerve.

"Sister Shisanmei, at this late hour, is there something so important you must say now?"

Hearing Shisanmei's voice, Chen Mo's anger lessened a bit, but he remained full of resentment.

"Mr. Jiang is in trouble!"

"What!" Chen Mo was startled by Shisanmei's news, his strength unintentionally surged a bit.

"Ah~" Sandy, twisting her waist, let out an involuntary coquettish gasp.

Shisanmei, hearing the sound, asked, "What are you doing?"

"Right!"

"Damn! No wonder you didn't answer! You beast!" Shisanmei couldn't help cursing.

"Let's not talk about that!" Chen Mo steered the conversation back, "First tell me, what happened to Jiang Tiansheng?"

"Damn, you almost made me forget!" Shisanmei added, "Just now Chen Yao called to inform that Jiang Tiansheng suffered a sudden illness and has been taken to Merry Hospital."

The boss over on the main island should have arrived by now; Han Bin and I are on our way to the hospital.

You stop what you're doing and come quickly to see.

"Alright, I'm on my way!"

After Chen Mo hung up the phone, the corner of his mouth curled up in a smile.

It seems the aconitine mixed into the pills has taken effect.

Send to the hospital? Send a fart!

Once aconitine takes effect, it can kill a person within a few minutes.

By the time he's sent to the hospital, he'll probably be completely dead.

However, since I got Thirteen Sister's call, I still have to go to the hospital.

Jiang Tiansheng's mishap is not the same as Jingkun's back then.

When Jingkun died, it happened just as they were going to war with the Triad Society; basically all the halls were in a tense state, and plus Jiang Tiansheng was waiting in the wings to move up, which is why nothing chaotic happened.

But only a few months have passed; if Jiang Tiansheng suddenly drops dead, some triads will inevitably have ideas.

By the time Chen Mo arrived at Mary Hospital, it was already over half an hour later.

Besides Ah Kin who was still in Macau, he was the last boss to arrive.

After parking, he walked to the hospital entrance, where Thirteen Sister's subordinate Fei Zai Hui was waiting at the door.

"Mo Ge, you finally arrived!"

Chen Mo didn't stop his steps, asking while walking inside, looking quite anxious.

"Ah Hui, how is Mr. Jiang doing now?"

Fei Zai Hui followed beside Chen Mo, gesturing the way.

"Mo Ge, Thirteen Sister just notified me to take you straight to the mortuary. Mr. Jiang couldn't be resuscitated!"

"What!" Chen Mo suddenly stopped, tears welling in his eyes, looking grief-stricken: "These quack doctors, I'll kill their whole family!"

Seeing Chen Mo like that, Fei Zai Hui's mouth twitched.

What are you pretending for? Jiang Tiansheng is dead—shouldn't you be happy?

"Um... Mo Ge, maybe we should go over first.

"I heard that when Mr. Jiang was sent to the hospital, he was already beyond help, and it had nothing to do with the doctors."

Chen Mo looked at Fei Zai Hui's somewhat embarrassed expression, then returned to normal and said: "Ah Hui, how are the other bosses doing? Are they sad? Are they upset?

"Was my acting just now a bit over the top?"

"The other bosses are fine; I just couldn't tell how sad they were. But your acting really was a bit over the top."

"Alright. Then let's not act; it's tiring." Chen Mo shrugged his shoulders and continued walking toward the mortuary.
