?Chapter 415: Chapter 415: How did that bunch of trash do with their investigation?   Chapter 415: Chapter 415: How did that bunch of trash do with their investigation?                                   Simon’s iron fists hung tensely by his sides.


    Marriage?


    Dream on!


    He had been waiting for two years, and this was the result he was greeted with in the end?


    It seemed Qiao Ruoxin did not favor gentle men; he had been gentle for two years, but in the end, it wasn’t as attractive to Qiao Ruoxin as Mo Chen’s hot temper?


    Was this what women’s love was like?


    It was utterly ridiculous!


    …


    In the office of Hengzhong Group.


    Mo Chen hadn’t returned to the Mo Family Estate; instead, he went straight to thepany’s office.


    At Hengzhong Group, employees often worked overtime at night, so every floor of thepany was still lit up.


    In the expansive office, the man sat in the swivel chair behind his desk, took out a cigarette, and clenched it between his lips; the smoke swirled around, blurring his handsome features.


    Suddenly, the phone vibrated, breaking the silence of the office.


    The man stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray, then picked up the phone. Xiaowu’s voice came through: “Boss Mo, Simon from the Lawrence Family just arrived in the country these past few days. I’m not sure what his purpose is for this visit, but he went straight to the hospital after getting off the ne, and it’s unclear whom he went to see.”


    Mo Chen: “What’s the situation with the Lawrence Family in the United States?”


    “Not good. There’s infighting within the family; they’re all waiting for the old man of the Lawrence Family to die so they can divide his wealth. Moreover, Mr. Lawrence’s health isn’t too good, so he’s fully supporting Simon to take over, hoping to secure Simon the position of family head.”


    The man narrowed his eyes, focusing on the news information about the Lawrence Family in the United States on hisputer screen.


    So, Simon was here to snatch Qiao Ruoxin away. Only by securing Qiao Ruoxin could Simon firmly sit in the position of family head. Even if he was discovered not to be of Lawrence blood in the future, he would still have the trump card that was Qiao Ruoxin.


    His calctions were indeed cunning.


    “Mhm, got it.”


    Mo Chen’s expression was cold as he prepared to end the call, but Xiaowu on the other end said, “Boss Mo, Li Yi has been stirring up trouble on the inte recently, incessantly spreading rumors that the teenage girl’s falling incident ten years ago was done by you. He’s also iming that you have such overpowering influence that no one dares to touch you, creating panic that the Mo Family covers the sky with one hand. Nowizens are raging; what should we do?”


    The man’s rage erupted suddenly: “Does he really want to be destroyed? Go to the hospital and ‘wish him well’ for me! Tell him to stay in line! Otherwise, I’ll make sure he never touches a woman again for the rest of his life!”


    “Understood!”


    Mo Chen angrily hung up the phone and tossed the mobile onto the office desk.


    Then he opened the web browser on hisputer, logged into Weibo, and searched for his own name. Sure enough, it was all negative public opinion.


    The realtimements on Weibo were full of abuse using the Mo Family of covering the sky with one hand.


    “I’m saying, Mo Family, since you’re so powerful, why not just establish your own country? Why keep bullying us ordinary people?”


    “Mo Tian! I’m calling you out; your son’s a son, but other people’s daughters aren’t daughters? Look at what a monster you’ve raised your son into. At such a young age, he’s capable of that kind of act, and who knows what atrocity he mightmit in the future.”


    “How could Qiao Ruoxin fancy such a demon? Honey, please wake up! There are plenty of good men in the world! We’ve shipped you with so many CPs; even though they’re not as wealthy as the Mo Family, at least we can keep our lives!”


    “The more I think about it, the more terrified I be. Hearing so much scandal these days, I truly fear we are deeply engulfed in an era of the elite trampling over the masses, yet we remain oblivious. If this case continues unresolved, then the days ahead for usmon folks will only get tougher!”


    “Mo Tian and Mo Chen, you and your son had better kneel and apologize to that girl’s parents! Then send your son to jail, that will only begin to alleviate our resentment, otherwise, I will boycott all products from Hengzhong Group!”


    “Can someone please manage the Mo Family, allowing them to be so rampant? With so much circumstantial evidence out there, why can’t they be taken down? The Mo Family’s legal team really lives up to the name Invincible East.”


    “Help me, I really can’t take it anymore. Thesest few days have all been about the Mo Family’s scandals, and it feels like the Mo Family is about to cover the sky with one hand. Will we even have a future?”


    …


    Seeing those onlinements, Mo Chen swung his long arm, sweeping all the items on his desk onto the floor, causing a loud crash.


    Anger was erupting within the man, a slight misstep could set a prairie aze.


    Mo Chen rose and walked to the window, looking down at the city’s nightscape with his handsome face tense, forcefully suppressing that surge of rage.


    He closed his eyes, took a moment to adjust his emotions, and then turned back to face his desk, looking at the mess on the floor.


    He picked up his phone, dialed a number again, and said in a deep voice, “How’s the investigation by those useless fools going?”


    Having hired so many private detectives, surely they couldn’t alle back with absolutely no leads, could they?


    But the reality was disappointing; after all, cases from over a decade ago were somewhat difficult to scrutinize.


    The person on the other end of the call fumbled, “Most haven’t made any progress, but there is one persistently searching for traces in the hotel where it all happened. He says there must be some traces left, but it’s been so many years, and the hotel has been renovated twice. I’m afraid it’s really hard to find anything.”


    Mo Chen’s expression was cold, and he promptly hung up, not bothering to say another word.


    Online public opinion wasn’t a big deal, but it could affect the Mo Family’s reputation, which was what the Mo Family valued most.


    …


    Mo Family Estate, dining room.


    Nine o’clock in the morning.


    After getting up, Qiao Ruoxin realized that Mo Chen hadn’te home all night, and upon asking the maids, was told he hadn’t returned.


    Suddenly, she felt a pang of sympathy for that damn man.


    “Pack up a breakfast for me; I’ll take it to him.”


    “Alright.” The maid turned and left.


    Qiao Ruoxin also wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin, stood up, and got ready to go to the hospital.


    After the maid had packed the breakfast, she took it and left the vi. Once in the car, she directly told the driver to head for the hospital.


    She wondered how her mother was doing in the hospital, having ingested sleeping pills. Why would she suddenly lose hope and attempt suicide?


    Throughout the drive, she pondered if something had happened between her mother and the Lawrence Family that would lead to suicide out of the blue.


    …


    Forty minutester, hospital.


    After arriving at the hospital, Qiao Ruoxin didn’t see Mo Chen; only Xiaowu was guarding the ce.


    Xiaowu, who was sitting on a bench in the corridor, immediately stood up upon seeing her: “Miss Qiao.”


    “Where’s your Master Mo? Why isn’t he here?”


    “He’s at thepany dealing with some matters; he’lle byter,” Xiaowu said.


    Qiao Ruoxin frowned. “He went straight to thepany without evening home?”


    She really didn’t value his own health at all, and it made her a bit angry. After all, he was now the father of two children, yet still so willful.
