Chapter 95: Bond in Hand

Three days later, Sandy found Chen Mo.

"Mo Ge, regarding Lu Bin Sun's case, I've already studied it. Based on the existing evidence and the victim's testimony, it's probably hard to clear him."

"At most we can only reduce Lu Bin Sun's sentence from ten years to three."

Chen Mo furrowed his brows: "What if the victim is willing to cooperate with us to alter the testimony?"

Sandy shook her head: "That won't work either. I've seen it; Lu Bin Sun was arrested on the spot by the police, which can clear the intentional‑murder charge, but the intent to intentionally injure is obvious."

"Even as an attempted crime, he must serve at least one year."

"Is there any way to get him out of prison early?"

With a minimum one‑year term, Chen Mo can't guarantee he'll keep Lu Bin Sun alive in prison.

Eliminating someone is far easier than keeping someone alive.

Besides, Chen Mo urgently needs business talent right now.

Sandy thought for a moment: "Perhaps we could try applying for parole."

"Considering Lu Bin Sun's current age, if Chi Zhu Prison can cooperate, there's a good chance he'll obtain parole eligibility."

"Only during the parole period will Lu Bin Sun be heavily supervised and unable to leave Gangdao."

A glimmer of hope appears.

Compared with shortening the sentence, Chen Mo naturally prefers to have Lu Bin Sun released on parole.

He just can't leave Gangdao, that's all; what does it matter?

Given Lu Bin Sun's age, he doesn't have the energy to run around anyway.

"Then I'll trouble you to arrange it, apply for his parole as soon as possible."

The supervisor of Lu Bin Sun's prison area is Sha Shou Xiong; dealing with Sha Shou Xiong is far from simple.

It's just a matter of spending some money.

That evening, Gao Jin arrived at Chen Mo's office carrying a document bag.

"Mo Ge, this is what you asked for." Gao Jin handed the document bag to Chen Mo.

"No one saw it, right?"

"No. Liu Yaozu went to the casino tonight; no one is at his house. There were a few bodyguards guarding the house, but later, for reasons unknown, they were all reassigned."

"Looks like our luck is good!"

Chen Mo smiled, opened the bag, and pulled out three sheets of paper.

Each was an HSBC anonymous bond with a face value of one hundred million HKD, a three‑year short term, and an interest rate of only 5%.

Chen Mo glanced at them, then put the bonds back into the bag and locked it in the drawer.

These bonds haven't matured yet, so they can't be redeemed at the bank.

If we try to trade them now, we might not get the full amount.

Besides, in a few months they'll yield the first installment of fifteen million in interest; selling now is uneconomical.

It's better to wait until Lu Bin Sun gets out of prison and let him handle it.

"Find someone to tail Liu Yaozu; I want to monitor all his movements during this period."

Chen Mo had promised to hand Liu Yaozu over to Lu Bin Sun.

"Alright!"

Gao Jin nodded and was about to leave.

"I'll go down with you; I'm in a good mood today, let's have a drink to celebrate."

The batch of USD Chen Mo has hasn't been laundered yet, and his total net worth doesn't exceed three hundred million.

Those three bonds would instantly double Chen Mo's fortune.

While Chen Mo was looking at the three bonds, he didn't avoid Gao Jin.

Gao Jin naturally understood why Chen Mo was happy, gave a slight smile, and followed him downstairs.

Before they even reached the first floor, a commotion erupted from the lobby.

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow; it's been a long time since anyone dared cause trouble in his territory.

Before Chen Mo got downstairs, he saw Sha Shou Xiong being kicked to the ground.

The kicker resembled Wei Jixiang a bit, but was several years younger, looking more like his subordinate Ahua.

Chen Mo guessed that it must be Qian Wendi.

When trouble broke out in the bar, Chen Mo's subordinates naturally intervened.

Unfortunately, although these thugs had trained at the Quanwan training ground and were far more skilled than ordinary goons,

they were still far inferior to Qian Wendi.

Within a short time, a dozen or so thugs were taken down by Qian Wendi and Jin Shouzhi.

Even Fei Ji's attack failed to bring down Qian Wendi.

Although Fei Ji had been taught the Eight‑Blade Slash by Chen Mo and was ferocious when cutting,

his unarmed combat was still a bit lacking.

Qian Wendi was about to leave with Li Li and Jin Shouzhi, when Chen Mo's voice rang out behind them.

"Three of you, finishing the trouble and then trying to leave—so little regard for me, Chen Mo!"

Chen Mo descended the stairs and stood before the three.

"Miss Li Li, your outfit today is beautiful."

Liu Lili wore a black strap‑less jumpsuit today, with only a sheer veil covering her back, her flawless figure accentuated, complemented by big wavy hair—truly a mortal beauty. (Is there a previous picture of Yan Zu?)

"Mr. Chen, what a coincidence!" Liu Lili said, her face embarrassed and nervous; that day Chen Mo had taken a lot of advantage of her.

"Don't call me Mr. Chen here."

"You didn't just beat up my guests here, you also smashed a lot of things.

Now you just want to leave like this, aren't you taking me too lightly?"

Chen Mo left hand in his pocket, right hand holding a cigarette, just smiling narrowly as he looked at the three.

"Mr. Chen, it's all a misunderstanding, we're willing to compensate!"

Jin Shouzhi had seen Chen Mo make a move at Liu Yaozu's casino, knew Chen Mo's skills were excellent, and quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

They had just cheated Liu Yaozu out of a large sum of money tonight, and Liu Yaozu chased them for half a street.

They had originally planned to meet Liu Lili here, but happened to see Sha Shou Xiong teasing Li Li, which sparked a conflict.

They never expected to provoke Chen Mo.

Chen Mo gave a cold snort: "You say it's a misunderstanding, but is it really? Last time at the casino, you cheated me and I didn't call you out, but now you've come to my bar, fighting and smashing things—this is clearly looking for trouble!"

Jin Shouzhi put on an apologetic smile: "No, no, you're the big boss of Great Prosperity—how dare we pick a fight with you? It's really just a misunderstanding!"

This matter was indeed originally a misunderstanding, but not entirely.

Qian Wendi knew that after Li Li had been taken advantage of by Chen Mo that night, he wanted to find a chance to get revenge.

Unfortunately, they couldn't afford to provoke Chen Mo, and since they were busy setting up a scheme for Liu Yaozu, the plan to revenge Chen Mo was temporarily shelved.

However, just now Qian Wendi knew this was Chen Mo's bar, and when they fought and smashed things, they showed no mercy, deliberately targeting the expensive items.

Some tables, chairs, and drinks were fine, but Qian Wendi deliberately found an angle, kicked one of Chen Mo's lackeys over to the dance floor, and smashed an entire set of sound equipment.

Chen Mo stood to the side watching, and he could see Qian Wendi's intentions crystal clear.

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, I see it clearly. You can leave, but leave one million to cover tonight's losses."

The bar's losses tonight only add up to a few hundred thousand, Chen Mo is obviously extorting them.

But the situation is stronger than them, they have no choice but to bow their heads.

Moreover, the more of Chen Mo's lackeys gathered around, the less they could leave without paying.

Qian Wendi wore a resentful expression: "Fine, one million it is, but I don't have that much on me. Let us go first, and I'll bring the money later."

He had just won over six million from Liu Yaozu tonight, so coming up with one million is still possible.

"No way!" Sha Shou Xiong ran up to Chen Mo's side, saying, "Mo Ge, these guys are cheaters, their words can't be trusted."
