Chapter 48: Taking Advantage

Mo Ge was joking, the affairs of big shots have nothing to do with me. I'm just a hostess; as long as they're customers, I'm willing.

I heard Shensheng had been chasing you before he died; I thought you two were on good terms!

Mo Ge was joking, it's all nonsense. He's just a regular customer." Ann said, slightly nervously, defending herself.

Chen Mo had taken over Shensheng's territory; if she were on good terms with Shensheng, that would make Chen Mo uncomfortable! Although Shensheng treated her well, their relationship wasn't that close.

Chen Mo put his arm around Ann, his hand resting on her shoulder and rubbing: "Is that so? But your regular customer is gone; do you want to find a new regular?"

Well... well. Mo Ge likes me; it's my honor." Ann said, a bit unnaturally.

Then that's good; come with me tonight." Chen Mo used a bit more force with his hand, pulling Ann closer.

Mo Ge, I... I won't go out on stage.

Feeling Chen Mo's hand gradually tightening, Ann struggled slightly a few times, softly refusing.

Chen Mo lifted Ann's chin with his hand: "How come, you're so pretty, it's a waste to be a goldfish?"

Sorry, Mo Ge, I only accompany drinks.

Just accompanying drinks, you can't earn much money." Chen Mo said, amused.

As long as the money is enough, I don't plan to make a lot of money.

Chen Mo understood; she wasn't short of money.

However, she'll probably run out of money soon. Chen Mo remembered that Ann's brother Bixian liked to play mahjong and owed loan sharks.

Fine, not going on stage is fine, but you should at least keep me company while drinking happily?" Chen Mo wasn't in a hurry either.

His hand rested on Ann's shoulder again, continuously sliding back and forth on her arm; can't take her out, but taking advantage here shouldn't be a problem, right?

Women like Ann, who aren't short of money but still come out to be hostesses, are just overly sheltered from childhood, too curious about this nightlife, coming out for novelty, seeking excitement.

Seeing that Chen Mo had no intention of forcibly taking her away, Ann completely relaxed. Although Chen Mo's actions were still a bit excessive, they weren't unbearable.

Great, Mo Ge chose me; of course I'll keep him company while drinking happily.

The two of them just chatted and drank casually.

Chen Mo occasionally teased Ann with words, and his hand kept probing back and forth at her limits.

Chen Mo isn't Shensheng; he won't bother with that whole flower-giving, chasing girls routine.

Since Ann likes excitement, let's give her more excitement. For a girl like Ann, as long as you're forceful enough, she won't refuse.

The limit was being broken bit by bit.

After more than an hour, Chen Mo leaned back on the sofa, his hand slipping along the strap into Ann's clothing, continually kneading.

Ann was entirely held in Chen Mo's embrace; whether from the drink or his actions making her shy, her face was flushed red.

At first she just thought being taken advantage of a little by Chen Mo wasn't a big deal, but she never expected him to take such a big advantage.

Now it's too late to resist; Chen Mo has been playing with her for half a day.

At that moment, a little brother rushed in pushing the door.

Mo Ge, the Dong Xing people have come!

Oh? Who is it, and how many people did they bring?" Chen Mo asked.

It's Sha Meng, and he brought over a dozen people.

Fine, let Sha Meng come here.

Chen Mo snorted coldly: "A Jin, Fei Ji, guess what Sha Meng intends to do?"

I don't know!" Fei Ji was as blunt as ever.

Gao Jin said in a low voice: "He probably isn't here to cause trouble; otherwise he wouldn't have brought so few people."

We'll know when he arrives.

Chen Mo took his hand out of Ann's clothing, sat up straight, and waited for Sha Meng to come in.

Not long after, a little brother brought Sha Meng in; Sha Meng's little brothers followed behind, but they just stood at the doorway and didn't enter.

Sha Meng, we meet again so soon!

Sha Meng shoved aside the little brother leading the way and asked Chen Mo: "Chen Mo, where's Sang Bo?"

Sha Meng, don't rush, have a seat." Chen Mo pointed, and a little brother who had been sitting at one end of the sofa stood up to make room. "Sang Bo is still alive and well, but if you're not satisfied with my explanation today, that might not be the case."

Sha Meng plopped onto the sofa, his eyes fixed on Chen Mo.

Chen Mo, Sang Bo was just distributing goods in your venue; he didn't cause trouble or affect your business, so there's no need to detain him, right?

Was Sang Bo distributing goods in my venue arranged by you?" Chen Mo countered.

So what if it was?

Chen Mo sneered: "The Dong Xing people aren't the first to come to my venue. You should know my rules—no drugs are allowed in my venue!"

Sha Meng chuckled: "Chen Mo, these venues are just for you to watch; they're not even your own bar, so why bother so much?"

We distribute goods in the bar, which can increase the bar's customers, improve business, and let you earn more money—why not?

Great Prosperity has its rules, and I have mine.

We distribute goods in your venue without your people getting involved, so you're not breaking Great Prosperity's rules." Sha Meng extended a finger in front of Chen Mo, gesturing: "I'll give you a thirty percent cut; just turn a blind eye, pretend you don't know—how about that?"

Chen Mo shook his head: "I think I've made myself clear enough—any venue of mine will not allow any drugs to appear."

Sha Meng frowned: "Do you know how much money a thirty percent cut is? It's more than the combined protection fees of three streets—aren't you tempted?"

Earning such ill-gotten wealth, I fear it would cut off my descendants." Chen Mo said contemptuously.

I won't waste more words—Sang Bo broke my rules, so we'll handle it my way." Chen Mo called to the little brother at the door: "Go bring Sang Bo over."

The little brother at the door heard the order and immediately went to the opposite private room, dragging Sang Bo and his few little brothers over.

At this moment, Sang Bo's body was bound, a cloth stuffed in his mouth so he couldn't make a sound, one arm twisted backward, already broken by Chen Mo's people.

The other few people looked no different from Sang Bo.

Chen Mo, you actually beat someone like this!" Sang Bo slammed the table and stood up directly.

At the door, Chen Mo's lackey heard the commotion and rushed in; Shameng's lackey also rushed in, and the two groups faced off.

Chen Mo waved his hand at his lackeys, telling them to retreat first.

"Shameng, Sangbo broke my rules, so I broke his arm—it's justified. Not only him, but also the people he brought along are the same."

"I've been waiting here for you today just to tell you."

"Whoever touches drugs in my territory ends up like this—even the East Prosperity people are no exception. Do you understand?"

"Good! Good! Good!" Shameng pointed at Chen Mo, face full of anger, "I, Shameng, have noted today's score—we'll see!"

Having said that, Shameng had his lackeys take the wounded Sangbo and others and quickly leave the bar.
