Cen Mo said sternly, “Hand over… control of your organization! I’ll make sure you lead peaceful lives from now on!”


  In the study, other than the white smoke that filled the room, there was pin-drop silence.

  “These words aren’t used to describe people like us, but… for the both of you to lead peaceful lives, there always has to be someone sharing your burdens!” Cen Mo leaned back in the one-seater and placed his arm on the armrest. “Let me be that person!”


  Cen Mo wasn’t doing this for Fu Huai’an. He was doing this for his younger sister, Lin Nuan, who he had taken great pains to find.

  Not only that, but he was very interested in the teams that Fu Huai’an had under his control!

  As such, apart from the fact that he was doing this for Lin Nuan, he was willing to consider it a transaction.

  He wasn’t like Fu Huai’an and Gu Qingcheng. They wanted to lead peaceful lives… He yearned for that as well, but he couldn’t afford to actually do so!

  Cen Mo had always been alone, and he would never rely on feigning death to ensure his safety, let alone Song Yao’s. Instead, he was going to depend on his power to ensure her safety, as well as the child’s safety.

  The stronger he was, the less others would dare to lay their hands on his people!

  Cen Mo, Fu Huai’an, and Gu Qingcheng all believed in different things.

  If Cen Mo could gain control of Fu Huai’an’s teams, he would definitely become more powerful.

  “Besides, after Gu Qingcheng fakes his death, I can keep your sharp blade for myself to make things more believable…” Cen Mo looked at Fu Huai’an and continued, “I’m Lin Nuan’s older brother, so I won’t put you guys in harm’s way!”


  Cen Mo had made a valid point. His relationship with Lin Nuan was very important to him, so he wouldn’t lay his hands on the people she and Fu Huai’an cared about.

  Gu Qingcheng looked at Fu Huai’an. “Mr. Cen may have more businesses and be involved in more areas than us…”


  Gu Qingcheng meant that Cen Mo also engaged in business deals that Fu Huai’an strictly avoided. They were different people, after all. The experiences Cen Mo had growing up caused his moral bottom line to be practically nonexistent!

  To him, it didn’t matter what he did so long as he could profit from it.

  Before he found out that Lin Nuan was his younger sister, he even conspired with Li Muyang to help him abduct her during the wedding… all so that he could start trading firearms!

  And Fu Huai’an and Gu Qingcheng mainly traded firearms!

  Cen Mo calmly sipped on his tea while waiting for Fu Huai’an to respond.

  Cen Mo was very clear. It was easy for them to fake their deaths and wash their hands of everything. The real problem was figuring out what to do with such a huge organization afterward!

  It was better to hand this sharp blade to Cen Mo than to other people!

  “If Gu Qingcheng wants to step down, dealing with your organization… would probably be difficult, right?” Cen Mo put down his cup and looked at Fu Huai’an calmly. “Even if you disband it, you guys will have a headache if ill-intentioned people recruit them. The people you’ve trained… they’re not just ordinary people. They’re weapons, and very, very sharp ones at that. They’ve already gotten used to tasting blood. If you set them free, they definitely won’t get used to leading normal lives. So… why don’t you let me put them to good use?”


  “Must I agree to your request before you cooperate with Gu Qingcheng?” Fu Huai’an asked calmly.

  The corners of Cen Mo’s mouth curved upwards. “It’ll seem more realistic this way…”


  Cen Mo actually didn’t plan to put Fu Huai’an’s people to good use!

  If it were up to him, he would probably arrange for most of them to protect Lin Nuan. After all, Fu Huai’an’s identity as “Mr. Moral” was like a mine buried deep underground. On the surface, it seemed harmless, but who knew when it would explode and hurt Lin Nuan and the children?

  “I have my own plans for them…” Fu Huai’an replied.

  In actual fact, Fu Huai’an had made plans for a few of his teams, who were all extremely trustworthy. Mu Taotao and her team members were still by Lin Nuan’s side, and their mission was to protect Lin Nuan.

  Not only that, but Fu Huai’an also sent out teams to protect Yun Liuli and Bai Xiaonian, even though You Nainai may be able to protect them on her own with her skills…


  For the remaining people, Fu Huai’an had planned to send them to various locations all over the world under the guise of carrying out missions. No matter what, they were to keep a low profile and wait until they were activated.

  But this had its risks. Once the news of Gu Qingcheng’s death spread, it would be hard to guarantee that no one would betray them.

  Others decided how their henchmen killed people. Most used drugs or implanting trackers under the skin. The latter were small and sophisticated devices with enough poison in them to be lethal.

  Fu Huai’an, on the other hand, had never done this, and he never had any traitors in his teams!

  But who could guarantee what would happen in the future?

  “But…” Fu Huai’an continued. “I can save six teams for you. They’ll ensure your safety and won’t get in the way of your business.”


  “Since they’re saved for me, I naturally get control over them, right?” Cen Mo smiled as he looked at Fu Huai’an. “And besides… I’m not one to keep promises. Even if I agree with you now, once the six teams are handed over to me, I can use them however I want. I’m only telling you the truth since you’re Xiao Nuan’s husband. Also… I want ten more teams!”


  Cen Mo had witnessed Fu Huai’an’s team’s abilities when they dealt with Li Muyang. There was only one large team… and yet, they managed to bring Lin Nuan back in one piece and control Li Muyang. They were so capable that it was scary.

  It was perhaps also then that Cen Mo began to acknowledge the mob he had taken over control of from the former underworld leader, as well as the rising new powers who Fu Huai’an had personally trained.

  The main thing was that the teams Cen Mo would be taking over were like ready-made stalls—they were already good to go. There were both good and bad sides to this!

  The good thing was that the teams were already formed and knew what to do. The bad thing was that they wouldn’t be able to change according to Cen Mo’s wishes… because the framework was already in place.

  “Mr. Cen sure is asking for a lot!” Tang Zheng continued to grin as he spoke to Cen Mo. “Putting ten teams in the hands of someone like Mr. Cen, who doesn’t care what methods he uses when handling affairs, would be going against the laws of nature!”


  Although Tang Zheng was exaggerating, he wasn’t wrong. Cen Mo… had always been unscrupulous in getting what he wanted. He had no moral bottom line to speak of, so much so… that calling it “perverse” was an understatement.

  This was probably due to the experiences Cen Mo had as a child!

  The corners of Cen Mo’s mouth turned up. He wasn’t angry at Tang Zheng’s words at all. His attractive fingers gently brushed against the walls of his cup as he said, “I’m sacrificing myself to achieve the bigger goal that both of you have… It’s only right for me to go against the laws of nature! Don’t you agree… Fu Huai’an?”


  “Okay!” Fu Huai’an agreed as Tang Zheng looked at him with a stunned expression.

  Tang Zheng frowned. He wanted to say something to Fu Huai’an but decided to remain silent.
