Chapter 261: Chapter 261

Knowing resistance was futile, An Yan simply lay down and accepted her fate.

For someone indulging for the first time, it was like discovering a treasured prize, tirelessly exploring and uncovering new delights.

「Feng Jingnian’s villa.」

"Young Master, the latest news: Mo Shiyan’s miracle doctor poisoned An Yan, and she was taken away by Li Tianyao. Then, Li Tianyao’s people captured the doctor as well."

"However, before being captured, she removed the worm from the patriarch’s brain, and now the Mo Family members are all guarding the hospital. Do you want to go there too?" Feng Jingnian’s subordinate asked cautiously.

Feng Jingnian lifted his hand to push his glasses up his nose. "The worm has been removed? Is the patriarch dead?"

The subordinate shook his head, "They say the patriarch’s condition started improving once the worm was taken out."

"Then what do you think, if I go now and kill the patriarch, how much of his inheritance would I get?"

"You absolutely mustn’t, Young Master."

The subordinate was so frightened he knelt down, "The patriarch has already left a will—if he dies, everything in his name will go to Mo Shiyan! If you really do this, it would be like helping Mo Shiyan!"

Feng Jingnian laughed, "You’re right. Mo Shiyan really has quite the strategy, collaborating with An Yan and Li Tianyao! True talent!!"

"What do you think, when Ajie told me to wait, what exactly was he asking me to wait for?" Feng Jingnian, stroking his slightly pointed chin, pondered.

The subordinate bowed his head, not daring to utter a word. If he was right, fine, but if he said something wrong, who knew how this madman would deal with him!

"Young Master, there’s trouble."

Another subordinate rushed in. "Ajie and his uncle have both been arrested."

Feng Jingnian was startled, "What?"

"Ajie and his mysterious uncle, the Great Witch Golden Crow, have been captured by Li Tianyao’s people!" the subordinate repeated.

Feng Jingnian’s complexion changed. His last trump card!

"So, what he said about waiting a few days for victory is now gone?"

Both subordinates hung their heads simultaneously, neither daring to speak.

Feng Jingnian waved his hand, "Leave."

The two, as if pardoned, quickly left.

Feng Jingnian stood up and walked to the window.

Outside the window, a large expanse of Flower Field came into view. Perhaps due to the cold weather, the edges of the originally vibrant flowers had darkened, as if mourning the impending end of life!

The bank’s debt collection call came again: "Mr. Feng, your repayment date has passed. If you don’t pay within ten days, we will initiate the auction process..."

The Raw Stones he mortgaged to the bank?

"No need, I am already raising the funds."

"Alright, then I won’t disturb you. I wish you a pleasant life!"

"Mom, how much money do you guys have?" Feng Jingnian called Mo Yunying.

"Just a few tens of millions. Real estate, antiques, calligraphy, and paintings are all worth about two hundred million. Jingnian, that’s far from four billion!"

Feng Jingnian knew the gap was huge, but he had no other choice at the moment, "It is too little. Can you and Dad try to collect more from your friends for me? Mom, as you know I mortgaged it with Raw Stones..."

"Jingnian!" Mo Yunying interrupted him. "It cannot be done. Your second uncle and Mo Shiyan have already spread the word; they have no intention of letting you through this ordeal."

"Damn it!" Feng Jingnian slammed the table hard. "Back then, you all should have taken out Mo Shiyan as well! If you don’t cut the weeds and remove the roots, trouble will be endless!"

"Shut up! Jingnian, remember that what happened back then was an accident. It had nothing to do with me or your second uncle!"

"You’re just brainwashing yourselves with that! If Mo Shiyan believed it, would he have done what he did today?"

"Enough! I’ve discussed this with your father already. Right now, there’s only one way out, and that’s to sell the shares!"

"Sell to whom? To Mo Shiyan or to Mo Yunkai? I’ve worked so hard for so long, and in the end, it was all just to make wedding dresses for those two?"

"Those are your cousin and uncle!" Mo Yunying spoke in a steady voice. "Jingnian, you want the Mo Family business, and Mom supports you. But now things have developed to this point, it’s certain that the Mo Family business won’t fall into your hands."

"Since that’s the case, it’s better to let go of the shares, make peace with your cousin, and then our future days might be easier."

Feng Jingnian said, "Has Mo Shiyan come to you? Did he send you to lobby me?" The source of thɪs content is NoveIＦire.net

Mo Yunying said, "I went to him. He promised that as long as you sell him the shares, he won’t pursue any past grievances."

"You believe his words?"

"What else can I do if I don’t believe him? Jingnian, you’re my child. In my eyes, whether you succeed or not, as long as you’re safe and healthy, Mom is satisfied."

"The bank can’t be delayed any longer. The amount is too large, and every day of delay adds another day’s interest. Child, listen to your mother and sell the shares to your cousin," Mo Yunying pleaded earnestly.

In the end, Feng Jingnian nodded, "Alright, then have him come talk to me."

「Yuncheng Grand Hotel.」

Mo Shiyan, clad in a black business suit, followed by two lawyers and four bodyguards, came with an imposing entourage that was hard to ignore.

This was the first time Feng Jingnian felt such chilling murderous intent from him.

"Worthy of an Oscar winner! All that gentleness in the past was just an act, wasn’t it?"

Mo Shiyan sat down opposite him, "I don’t need to pretend because I knew since I was a child that the Mo Family business would be mine!"

"Since childhood? How young?" Feng Jingnian looked at Mo Shiyan with a face full of scorn.

Mo Shiyan said, "At the time when you used illegal drugs to forcibly enhance your perception ability!"

"You..." Feng Jingnian narrowed his eyes. "So the sudden disappearance of my perception ability was your doing?"

Mo Shiyan replied coldly, "The drug that enhances perception ability was developed by my mother. Do you know why she didn’t let me use it?"

Mo Shiyan’s cold lips parted. "Because the side effects of that drug could damage the body’s foundation!"

"You must have realized by now that you’re not functioning well in that department, right?"

"So, you’ve used some little pills to enhance your capabilities as a man, and it just so happened that those pills interacted with the perception-enhancing drug, causing your perception ability to fail."

Feng Jingnian’s expression cracked open, "You’ve been scheming against me from the beginning?"

"If you hadn’t stolen, how could you have fallen into the trap?" Mo Shiyan’s presence was overwhelming, as he displayed an air of superiority.

In that moment, Feng Jingnian truly felt the disdain from the depths of Mo Shiyan’s soul.

Mo Shiyan had never considered me his competitor.

He was on a different level entirely.

This feeling was really infuriating!

Not even his gold-rimmed glasses could hide the icy chill in his gaze, "Get lost, I won’t sell the shares! I’ll just hold on to my forty percent and watch you work for me, Mo Shiyan!"

"But do you think you have a choice now?" asked Mo Shiyan.
