Chapter 96: Leave a Hostage

Did you hear? People say you're not trustworthy!

Chen Mo looked at Qian Wendi with a half-smile.

If I let you go now, what if you run away?

You're playing us! Who carries a million cash on them? Qian Wendi shouted angrily.

Chen Mo shook his head: "I'm not playing you; it's your own fault for being cheaters. Don't blame others for your bad reputation."

You...

Qian Wendi clenched his fists tightly, looking ready to strike Chen Mo at any moment.

Jin Shouzhi grabbed Qian Wendi's arm and said with an appeasing smile: "Mo Ge, what exactly do we need to do to be let go? Please tell us."

Simple, looking at you three, you seem to get along well.

Pick one to stay as a hostage; the other two go get the money. Whenever you bring back a million, I'll release the hostage.

I'll stay; let them two go. Qian Wendi stood up directly.

Jin Shouzhi hurriedly pulled him back: "Mo Ge, I'll stay; let the two of them go get the money!"

Chen Mo shook his head again: "I don't want either of you two; I want her."

Saying this, Chen Mo pointed to Liu Lili on the side.

Qian Wendi immediately stepped in front of Liu Lili: "No, if you have something, come at me; don't touch my woman!"

She's your woman, so I'll hold onto her even more.

Chen Mo grabbed Qian Wendi's arm and shoved him toward Jin Shouzhi.

"Wendi!" Liu Lili lunged at Qian Wendi.

Chen Mo grabbed her arm and pulled her back: "You two can go. If you don't want anything to happen to Miss Li Li, you'd better hurry up and bring me the money."

With Jin Shouzhi's support, Qian Wendi steadied himself and glared at Chen Mo: "Fine, I'll get the money as soon as possible, but you must not harm Li Li."

Don't worry, I won't touch her for now, but I can't guarantee I'll never touch her.

Chen Mo lifted Liu Lili's chin with his hand.

After all, Miss Li Li's looks and figure are top-notch. Even if I can hold back, my brothers might not be able to.

Fine! Give me an hour. Li Li, wait for me, I'll be back soon!

Fei Ji! Take Miss Li Li to the storeroom and lock her up. After an hour, if this kid brings the money, let her go; otherwise, send her to my room.

Okay, Mo Ge!

Qian Wendi watched Fei Ji shove Li Li into the storeroom, unwillingly pulling Jin Shouzhi as they quickly left the bar.

Chen Mo turned to look at Sha Shou Xiong beside him: "Sha Shou Xiong, coming to play here, you've caused quite a commotion!"

Hehe, Mo Ge, I just wanted to grab a late-night snack; I didn't expect this woman to be in cahoots with those two swindlers!

Any grudge?

Damn, these swindlers made me lose all my money tonight.

Talking about this, Sha Shou Xiong became indignant.

He had just won the Mark Six lottery, and plus Chen Mo gave him some money a few days ago, making him suddenly quite extravagant.

He originally wanted to go to the casino to show off and act cool, but he didn't expect Liu Yaozu and the others to be playing so big in the VIP room.

He joined in, and lost everything in one night.

Losing is losing; he's not someone who can't afford to lose.

But when he saw Qian Wendi and the three together at the bar, he realized they were swindlers.

Plus Qian Wendi deliberately teased him, making it impossible for him to swallow his anger.

Relying on having a few acquaintances nearby, Sha Shou Xiong started fighting with Qian Wendi.

He didn't expect Qian Wendi's skills to be so good, nor that it would blow up this much, even alarming Chen Mo.

Chen Mo was also somewhat speechless.

Sha Shou Xiong's luck really is quite bad.

Come to my office; I have something to discuss with you.

Chen Mo originally planned to go to Chi Zhu tomorrow to ask Sha Shou Xiong for help with Lu Bin Sun's parole.

Now running into him at the bar saves him another trip.

Upon arriving at Chen Mo's office, Sha Shou Xiong couldn't help but marvel at the luxurious office.

Chen Mo's office is bigger than his three.

Mo Ge, what are your orders? I'll do my best to get it done!

I'm preparing to have Lu Bin Sun paroled; can you handle it?

Huh? Parole?" Sha Shou Xing looked embarrassed: "Lu Bin Sun's age and sentence do meet the parole conditions, but other aspects...

If everything met the conditions, would I still need to find you!

Mo Ge, it's not that I don't want to help; I really lack the ability. I'm only a Senior Inspector, and there are still several superiors above me!

Chen Mo understood Sha Shou Xiong's meaning; this matter requires greasing several prison officials.

Simple, it's just money!

Chen Mo directly took out fifty thousand cash and threw it to Sha Shou Xiong.

Take this fifty thousand to use first. Decide who needs greasing and how much. After it's done, I'll give you another fifty thousand—enough?

Enough, enough!

Sha Shou Xiong felt a bit dizzy all over.

He had only won a few hundred thousand from the Mark Six lottery, but now Chen Mo casually gave him fifty thousand.

Greasing those few prison officials wouldn't need that much money.

Chen Mo put up one million, he could at least save six or seven hundred thousand.

We've made a fortune!

"Alright, take the money and go, hurry up and help me get things settled—you won't miss out on the benefits."

"Don't worry, Mo Ge, with this sum of money, I'll definitely have things settled properly within a week."

After patting his chest to guarantee, Sha Shou Xiong excitedly took the money and left.

One hour later, Fei Ji brought Liu Lili to Chen Mo's office.

"Mo Ge, that kid hasn't arrived yet."

Chen Mo looked somewhat surprised at Liu Lili standing before him, and waved his hand to signal Fei Ji to leave.

Logically, Qian Wendi should be able to deliver the money, right?

Could there be some mishap?

Chen Mo carefully recalled the plot, and suddenly remembered.

Tonight Liu Yaozu will be waiting in ambush at their home.

Liu Yaozu is not someone who would suffer a loss for nothing.

He can't handle Chen Mo, and he can't even deal with Qian Wendi, a petty swindler!

Chen Mo speculated that Qian Wendi was either being chased by Liu Yaozu right now, or had already been captured by him.

In short, he won't be back for a while.

"Mo Ge, Wendi will surely bring the money, can you wait a bit longer? Wait another hour, no, just half an hour will do!"

Watching Chen Mo slowly approach, Liu Lili couldn't help but plead.

Chen Mo placed one hand on Liu Lili's back and lifted her chin with the other.

"For the sake of Miss Li Li's beauty, I'll give you another half hour."

After releasing Liu Lili, Chen Mo sat on the sofa and leisurely lit a cigarette.

He doesn't like to use force; there are plenty of ways to deal with Liu Lili, no need to rush.

Liu Lili stood there trembling, extremely anxious, constantly praying for Qian Wendi to come quickly.

She had no idea that Qian Wendi was now struggling to protect himself.
