Chapter Fourteen: A Disguised Blockade

Wu Mo quietly said, "Tomorrow, she will come to talk to you about the investment issue. Will the Bo Dongjin incident
affect her resolve?"

Qin Yi sneered, "I want to see how tough she still is."

Gong Yue said, "Mom, I'd love for her to come and ask me to invest. 5 billion! That's a lot of value for our Huamei
Group . Right, darling?"

Wu Mo sneered inwardly, but smiled and said, "Of course."

Damn it, you're dreaming. Your lousy plan is definitely going to fall through. Wu Mo thought, feeling extremely tired, and
didn't want to say anything more. He slowly drifted off to sleep.

He seemed to feel Qin Yi calling him, but he didn't respond, and his consciousness gradually became hazy.

Qin Yi and Gong Yue exchanged a glance, and Qin Yi said softly, "Yueyue, Bo Dongjin's arrest seems to
benefit , but in reality, it will trigger a large-scale investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. I think your marriage with Wu Mo will have to
be postponed. Those people at the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection have very sensitive noses."

Gong Yue said softly, "How could registering our marriage in Los Angeles attract the attention of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection?"

Qin Yi sighed and said, "It's not that easy. He will require you to have a prenuptial agreement notarized;
otherwise, he won't have registered with you so easily. That guy is shrewd!"

Gong Yue looked at Wu Mo, who was snoring softly, and said after a while, "Let's see what he says tomorrow. Okay,
Mom, I'm tired, let's go to sleep." After saying that, she nestled in Wu Mo's arms and slowly fell asleep.

When Wu Mo woke up, Qin Yi had already gotten up and was preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Gong Yue was still fast asleep, one hand
still holding his penis. Wu Mo looked at Gong Yue's beautiful face, unsure of how to judge her.

This girl is truly pitiful and lamentable. Wu Mo thought to herself, born into such a family, her mother is
someone else's mistress, yet she possesses exceptional intelligence, willing to sacrifice marriage for her own plans, coercing her into
conspiring to embezzle a huge sum of money that was being transferred. Too much intelligence often leads to self-centered
idiocy , and Gong Yue is no exception.

Once she defeats Qin Yi and his group, what will become of her? Her parents will be gone, and when the company is
seized, where will she go?

Wu Mo lay there blankly for a while, lost in thought, when she heard Qin Yi calling from outside, "Wu Mo, Yueyue, get up and have
breakfast." Wu Mo shook Gong Yue, who stretched and giggled, "Darling, sleeping is so comfortable
."

Wu Mo got dressed and went out without waiting for Gong Yue to get up, seeing Wu Pingshi already sitting on
the sofa . Qin Yi was setting the table when he saw Wu Mo arrive. He smiled and said, "Go wash up first, we
'll eat in a bit." Wu Mo nodded and turned to go into the bathroom.

A moment later, Gong Yue came in, leaned on his back, and looked in the mirror, saying, "Wu Mo, look, aren't
we a perfect match?" Wu Mo looked up at the two people in the mirror; one handsome, the other beautiful,
they did indeed look very compatible.

Wu Mo smiled and said, "Hurry up and wash up, Gu Jiwang will be here soon."

Gong Yue let go of him and stood beside him to wash up before returning to the living room. After breakfast, Qin Yi said,
"When Gu Jiwang arrives, Gong Yue can talk to her." Gong Yue nodded.

A moment later, the doorbell rang. Gong Yue pressed a button on the side of the door, opened it, and Gu
Jiwang walked in.

Wu Mo stood up and smiled, "Ms. Gu has arrived as promised, very punctual." Gu Jiwang
chuckled . She was still dressed in white, but not in a dress; instead, she wore a white suit, which fit her perfectly and looked
very elegant. The red scarf around her neck was quite striking.

Qin Yi smiled and stood up, saying, "Welcome, Ms. Gu."

Gu Jiwang surveyed the room and then smiled, "Since I've come as promised, let's get straight to the point
. How do you plan to provide me with this funding?"

Qin Yi glanced at Gong Yue and said, "Please have my daughter, Gong Yue, oh, who is also
the chairman , personally discuss this with you."

Gu Jiwang chuckled, glanced at Wu Mo, and then sat down on the sofa, indicating that she was waiting for Gong Yue to
receive her. Gong Yue walked over with a smile and sat down facing Gu Jiwang. She said, "I suppose Mr. Wu Mo
already talked to you yesterday. This sum of money is too large to transfer right now. You see, I have a company in Los Angeles.
Why don't you invest this money in my company? Once the funds are transferred to Los Angeles, you can
return all 5 billion. I wonder if Aunt Gu would agree?"

Gu Jiwang smiled and said, "Where is Mr. Wu Mo's company? I'm more interested in your company!"
As soon as Gu Jiwang said this, Gong Yue's expression changed drastically. She turned her head and stared intently at Wu Mo without saying a word.

Wu Mo understood Gong Yue's change of heart and smiled, "Ms. Gu, my company is in Dongguan, China.
Why go to such lengths?"

Gu Jiwang chuckled and looked at Qin Yi, saying, "Don't think I don't know how you plan
to handle this money. You intend to transfer funds out gradually through Mr. Wu's company, including my
5 billion, right?"

Qin Yi's expression changed drastically, staring at Gu Jiwang and asking, "Ms. Gu, how did you know that?"

Gu Jiwang laughed and said, "If he can give you instructions, why can't he give me? You, a
dignified vice governor, ask such a naive question, hmph!"

Qin Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, saying, "I see." Gu Jiwang didn't wait for
her to continue, adding, "My decision to invest in Mr. Wu's company is precisely for this purpose.
If Mr. Wu agrees, then we'll proceed with the formal investment process; otherwise, forget it."

Gu Jiwang's words were resolute, leaving Qin Yi and Gong Yue no way out.

Seeing the disappointment on his daughter's face, Qin Yi knew she disagreed with the plan. He asked, "
Ms. Gu, your husband, Mr. Bo Dongjin, has been placed under investigation by the Chinese government. It's inappropriate for you to demand such a large sum of money,
especially in cash!"

Gu Jiwang sneered, saying, "What does Bo Dongjin have to do with me? We
divorced . Whether he's been arrested or not is none of my business. Forget it, are you even sincere?
How about I call Beijing right now and have them give you instructions?"

Qin Yi stared blankly at her, his lips moving but no words coming out.

Seeing her mother speechless, Gong Yue understood that Gu Jiwang was doing this on purpose, and smiled, "I might as well
tell you, I'm about to register my marriage with Mr. Wu Mo in Los Angeles. That means it doesn't
matter where you invest, right?"

Gu Jiwang glanced at Wu Mo in surprise, because he hadn't told her this information yesterday.

"I don't care what your relationship is, anyway, I don't like dealing with women. If I don't invest in
Mr. Wu 's company, then I'm leaving now." With that, Gu Jiwang stood up, ready to leave.

Qin Yi hurriedly smiled and said, "Ms. Gu, since you personally proposed this plan, then we'll
proceed according to your request. How about it?" Gu Jiwang chuckled, sat down again, and looked at Gong Yue, saying, "Young lady, your
company is a trading company, to put it bluntly, it's a middleman business. Mr. Wu Mo's company is different; it's
a physical company. How could I possibly keep such a large sum of money circulating in a trading company?"

Gong Yue smiled coldly, "Alright then, since that's what you think, then we'll proceed as you wish. But I must
tell you, this fund will ultimately have to go through the account of our Huamei Group Company, saying..." " So you're still cooperating with me after all
."

Gu Jiwang chuckled and said, "That's what your father said too. But in my understanding
, a trading company is just an empty shell; only a physical company has real value. I'm greedy; I not only want this capital,
but also the shares and dividends. It's that simple, Mr. Wu Mo, what's your opinion?"

Wu Mo smiled: "As long as Vice Governor Qin agrees, I have no objection. But since this money is still in
the country, it must be transferred to my company first. As the legal representative, I won't take such a big risk."

He was clearly saying this to Qin Yi.

Gu Jiwang smiled: "Don't worry about that, I'll call him. Alright, I'll call him now
!" Saying that, she took out her phone.

Qin Yi hurriedly said: "How about this, Ms. Gu, I'll make this call to report to him. Look, there are so
many people , is that alright?" Gu Jiwang smiled slightly, and in Wu Mo's eyes, this smile was extremely beautiful and infinitely
charming.

Gu Jiwang put his phone in his pocket and smiled, "Please transfer the money to Mr. Wu Mo's company as quickly as possible.
I'll give you the keys as soon as the money arrives. Okay, thank you for the meeting, Vice Governor Qin.
It's a great honor!"

After saying that, he stood up and walked out. As he passed Wu Mo, he smiled and said, "Mr. Wu Mo, I'm
not afraid you'll renege on your debt, and you wouldn't dare. Please send back the shareholding documents as soon as you get back. I'll sign them and
send them back to you. Goodbye!"

Gong Yue watched Gu Jiwang's graceful figure disappear with anger and cursed, "That woman is so arrogant,
Mom . Don't you really have any way to deal with her?"

Qin Yi said expressionlessly, "Didn't you hear what she said? She has your father backing her up." There
was .

Gong Yue turned to look at Wu Mo, and after a long while said, "Darling, why do you insist on transferring the funds to your
company ?" Wu Mo smiled and said, "Gong Yue, I'm in the real economy, with hundreds of millions in cash reserves. Besides,
without this money in the accounts, the shareholding procedures can't be completed. You studied finance, so you naturally
understand the logic."

Gong Yue thought about it and agreed, so she didn't continue.

Qin Yi said, "She just said that she would only give me the keys after the funds are in the account. Wu Mo, what's your
opinion?"

Wu Mo smiled and said, "Luckily, she didn't insist on completing all the shareholding procedures before giving them the keys, otherwise, when would we ever get them
? My opinion is that Vice Governor Qin should issue instructions as soon as possible to transfer this 5 billion into my company's
account , and then I will have the finance department send over the transfer record. We can then take the record to Gu Jiwang to
prove that the money has arrived."

Qin Yi stared at him blankly for a long time, then took out his phone, went into the room, closed the door, and called the man to
report. The man was silent for a moment before saying, "Let's do it according to Gu Jiwang's wishes. The Bo Dongjin case has attracted
close attention from the central leadership. We can't afford any more trouble. Let's do it immediately."

After ending the call with the man, Qin Yi dialed his secretary Xiao Wang's number and gave
the order for 5 billion yuan to be transferred to Tenglong Group before leaving the room.

Qin Yi stared at Wu Mo and said, "The old man has agreed. I've already given the order, and it should arrive
in your company's account soon."

Wu Mo was secretly delighted, thinking, "Damn, this 5 billion yuan is safe!" Although he thought
this , he said aloud, "Okay, Brother Wu, contact the company's finance department now and
send me a photo of the transfer receipt as soon as possible."

Wu Pingshi nodded and got up to call Qiu Wuli.

When Qiu Wuli heard Wu Pingshi say that the finance department should send a photo of the 5 billion yuan transfer receipt to Wu Mo's
phone , he already understood what was going on and didn't ask any more questions.

Wu Pingshi walked over to Wu Mo and said, "The orders have been given. Just wait."

Qin Yi never imagined that things would turn out so unexpectedly.

At 9:00 AM on June 4th, Wu Mo and Wu Pingshi arrived at Gu Jiwang's villa again. Gu Jiwang was dressed
exquisitely, wearing a wide-shouldered knit top and a white skirt, with rose-red lipstick. To Wu
Mo's surprise, her originally curly blonde hair was now short and black.

Looking at the expression in Wu Mo's eyes, Gu Jiwang smiled and said, "I got my hair done last night. How is it? Do I look Chinese
?"

Wu Mo smiled and nodded. Gu Jiwang gestured for Wu Mo and Wu Pingshi to sit down.
After they sat on the sofa, she looked at Wu Mo and asked, "Mr. Wu, has the 5 billion arrived?" Wu Mo smiled and nodded, saying,
"Ms. Gu, thank you for your cooperation. This huge sum is now secured."

Gu Jiwang chuckled, "In the future, it will be far more than this."

Wu Mo stared at her in surprise and asked, "How did you know?"

Gu Jiwang's expression immediately turned serious. "Don't ask me that." After saying this, she paused for
a moment before continuing, "My ex-husband, Bo Dongjin, has been placed under investigation. I'm leaving for China this afternoon to accept the investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Also, I want to tell you that the key Qin Yifeng gave me is completely fabricated.
My goal is to siphon off that 5 billion, and to deposit it into your company's account. This was also part of the preliminary..."
"Qin Feng and I had already agreed on this."

Upon hearing this, Wu Mo was shocked! He had underestimated Qin Feng; she had so easily ensnared
him , and he hadn't even realized it.

Seeing Wu Mo's astonished expression, Gu Jiwang smiled gently, "Mr. Wu, don't be surprised. Qin Feng
is my daughter-in-law. She wants revenge for her father, so naturally I'll help her. Besides,
I've known for a long time about your true purpose in transferring the embezzled funds to Qin Yi and his group. This time, I also wanted to test whether you are
as Qin Feng described. You are a very intelligent and conscientious patriotic businessman. To be honest, I'm very fortunate to have you
unknowingly helped me!"

"Secretary Long Fei already knew about your use of the 1 billion yuan of embezzled funds given to you by Qin Yi to build a mobile phone industrial park,
and the Guangdong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is closely monitoring it and has reported it to the Central Committee." At this point,
Gu Jiwang smiled slightly, "Because Secretary Long Fei is secretly protecting you. Also, isn't there a
CEO, ?"

Wu Mo's heart began to churn. Only now did he understand why
everything had gone smoothly for so long—it was all thanks to Secretary Long Fei's tacit approval, and even more so to the Central Committee's tacit approval. The purpose was to use him
, or rather, his wisdom, to uncover the bigger corrupt officials behind Qin Yi.

He couldn't help but admire him, and his respect for Gu Jiwang grew even stronger.

Wu Mo nodded, "Yes, Qiu Wuli and I have been mediating this struggle. But he is a
wise man ."

Gu Jiwang smiled, "His theory of balance is highly recognized and appreciated by Governor Gao Daming. Although some of his
arguments are somewhat extreme, overall it is for the country's benefit, which is excellent. I really want to meet him when I return to China this time."

Wu Mo couldn't help but curse inwardly: That damned Qiu Wuli, your reputation is much greater than mine! But despite his cursing
, he was very happy.

"Ms. Gu, I'll address you as that for now. What I want to ask is, when will you close the net?" Wu Mo asked
seriously .

Gu Jiwang chuckled and stared at him, saying, "There's no question of when to close the net. You can figure out the specific reasons yourself."

Wu Mo knew he couldn't ask any more questions. On the way to Gu Jiwang's residence, Wu Pingshi relayed Qiu Wuli
's exact words, so this woman was indeed extraordinary.

"Well then, we'll take our leave. As for wanting to see Qiu Wuli, it's simple. Just come to my company
and I'll give you his phone number," Wu Mo said with a smile. He then

stood up to leave.

Gu Jiwang stood up from the sofa and smiled, "Mr. Wu, have you thought about how to reply to Qin Yi?"

Wu Mo was taken aback and stopped, looking at her.

"The key Qin Feng gave her is real, but it requires a password to open. So, what I have
is the password, not the key. Now, I'll tell you the password." Gu Jiwang then recited a string of
numbers.

Wu Mo silently memorized it and asked, "Are we just giving it to them like this? No need to keep a copy?"
Gu Jiwang smiled and shook her head, saying, "No need. This evidence has already been reviewed. Alright, please
go back now. I hope to see you in China!"

Wu Mo, still puzzled, walked out with Wu Pingshi.

Gu Jiwang silently watched his retreating figure. As he closed the door, Gu Jiwang thought to himself, "
Mr. Wu Mo, how could you possibly know the inside story of the political struggles at the top? Even if you get all the evidence, you probably
won't touch him for now. Once this news is exposed, it will shock the world!"

Wu Mo and Wu Pingshi walked down the street in the villa district. Thinking about the hidden meaning in Gu Jiwang's words, Wu
Mo much lighter. For so long, he had been cautiously maneuvering with Qin Yi,
worried about whether he could finally extricate himself from the predicament. He had always thought that he and Qiu Wuli were fighting alone, but
now he understood the meaning from Gu Jiwang's words. Chapter Fifteen: Nothing Gained

He suddenly thought of a saying: "If you don't want others to know, don't do it in the first place." Now, he truly understood
the meaning of this saying. At the same time, he regained his confidence in the next central leadership and saw hope
or a bright future.

"Brother Wu, damn it, this trip was worth it!" Wu Mo couldn't hide his excitement and
said to Wu Pingshi.

Wu Pingshi chuckled, "But things will probably get even more complicated later."

Wu Mo turned to look at Wu Pingshi, "Brother Wu, you're much more perceptive than before. You've seen the bigger picture
. You're quite something."

Wu Pingshi said, "Wu Mo, life is full of hardships, and you and Master Qiu are experiencing them. Others may not see
it, but I see it clearly. After listening to Gu Jiwang's words, I feel that our Party is still bright and
full of hope, and our country and our society will gradually become healthier."

Wu Mo laughed heartily and said, "Brother Wu, I'm very impressed with you. With the Party supporting us,
Qin Yi and his gang of parasites won't be able to keep jumping around for long."

Wu Pingshi smiled and said nothing more until they arrived at Gong Yue's residence. Only then did Wu Mo say, "I
suddenly realized how to help Qin Feng extricate himself from Qin Yi's suspicions."

Wu Pingshi remained silent, then rang the doorbell. With a click, the iron gate opened automatically.

Entering the house, Qin Yi asked solemnly, "Well, did she give you the key?"

Wu Mo shook his head and said, "She didn't give me the key, she gave me a string of numbers. She said there's no
second key, only one key and the code."

Qin Yi glanced at Gong Yue beside him, stood up, and said, "Yueyue, let's go to HSBC Bank now."

Gong Yue looked at Wu Mo, then at Qin Yi, and said, "Isn't Wu Mo coming with us?"

Qin Yi turned to look at Wu Mo and said, "Wu Mo and Mr. Wu, you can wait at home. Is that alright?"
Wu Mo had anticipated this outcome and smiled, "Okay, we'll wait for you at home."

Gong Yue understood her mother's meaning, although it was a sign of distrust, it
was best if he didn't know. So she smiled and said, "Darling, Mom and I will be back soon." Wu Mo smiled and nodded.

Qin Yi seemed to remember something and asked Gong Yue, "Yueyue, do you know the address of HSBC?"

Gong Yue replied, "Mom, give me the key, I'll look it up online." Qin Yi took the key out of his pocket and
handed it to Gong Yue. Gong Yue went into the room, turned on her Apple computer, found the HSBC website address, and then took the key...
She entered the code. However, the computer screen displayed the following English letters: coderoror, please
learn the correct code.

Gong Yue thought she had entered the wrong number and entered it again, but the same English letter appeared.

Qin Yi, watching from the side, became anxious and told Gong Yue to enter it again, but it was still the same.

Gong Yue said, "Mom, this key is a fake. HSBC doesn't have
a key with this number. We've been fooled."

Qin Yi's face suddenly turned pale, and then he went into the living room and stared at Wu Mo, saying, "Wu Mo,
the key Qin Feng gave me is fake."

Wu Mo was shocked and asked, "She gave you this key directly, how could it be fake?"

Gong Yue walked out of the room and said to Qin Yi, "Mom, is Qin Feng really missing?" Qin Yi's eyes
were gloomy as he nodded.

"Then, the string of numbers Gu Jiwang gave us might also be fake, Mom," Gong Yue
said, looking at Wu Mo.

Qin Yi's hands trembled as she took her phone out of her pocket, then quickly went to her room, closed the door ,
and dialed the man's number.

After a long while, the man answered: "Got it?"

Cold sweat beaded on Qin Yi's forehead. "The key Qin Feng gave me was fake. Gong Yue couldn't find it on the HSBC website
. Gu Jiwang gave me the password, but that might also be fake."

The man's expression darkened, and after a long pause, he said, "Why didn't you think to check while we were in China?"

Qin Yi's voice trembled as she replied, "I did check, but HSBC is an overseas website,
blocked in China."

The man was silent for a moment, then suddenly said sharply, "Return to China first. I'll send people to search for Qin Feng!" He then hung up, and
Qin Yi's phone went silent.

Qin Yi stared blankly at her phone for a long time before finally leaving the room and
sitting .

Wu Mo watched her silently, waiting for her to give further instructions.

Gong Yue asked, "Mom, what did Dad say?"

Qin Yi said fiercely, "Your father told us to go back to China first. He sent people to hunt down Qin Feng!"

Wu Mo was shocked when she heard this!

She was just thinking about how to clear Qin Feng of their suspicions, but she didn't expect the situation to change so suddenly.
That fat worm actually wanted to hunt down Qin Feng. Doesn't that mean Qin Feng is in even greater danger? Wu Mo
became anxious.

Qin Yi said to Gong Yue, "Yueyue, book our flight for this afternoon."

Gong Yue, however, stared at Wu Mo and said, "No, Mom, Wu Mo and I haven't completed our marriage registration yet."
After saying this to Qin Yi, she asked again, "Wu Mo, shall we go register now?"

Wu Mo smiled, "Look at how much things have changed now, and
doesn't a prenuptial agreement? We both have our own businesses, so this procedure is necessary."

Gong Yue had expected him to say this and laughed, "Then when will we complete this procedure? Darling, I can't
wait."

Wu Mo smiled, "I'll complete it as soon as I return to China, and you should also speed things up. I also want to
bring you back to my side as soon as possible."

Qin Yi didn't want to hear their affectionate words anymore. "There's something else," Qin Yi said coldly. "When will the mobile phone engineer Yueyue hired
arrive in China?"

Gong Yue replied, "I've already made arrangements. As long as Wu Mo says it's okay, we can set off immediately."

Qin Yi looked at Wu Mo and asked, "Wu Mo, what's your opinion?"

Wu Mo said, "According to the current project progress, the engineer hired by Gong Yue won't be able to arrive for another three months.
It's June now; we can officially start R&D in September and begin production by the end of the year."

Qin Yi said "Oh," and then added, "I reported to the old man that the engineer could arrive in
China . Can't we speed things up a bit?"

Wu Mo smiled and said, "Such a large industrial park, the infrastructure construction alone will take a considerable amount of
time. I'm also hoping to start production as soon as possible."

Qin Yi said nothing more and sat heavily on the sofa.

Now she hated Qin Feng, that little brat, so much for daring to use a fake key to deceive her. Hmph,
if I can't find you, don't I have other ways to force you out? Doesn't your Zhongyi Group have
sales ? Oh, right, could this little brat be hiding in Africa?

Thinking of this, her eyes lit up.

Qin Yi stared at Wu Mo for a while before saying, "Wu Mo, wasn't Qin Yifeng competing with us in Africa before he died?
I reckon this little girl has gone to Africa. How about this, the old man is furious and wants to send people to hunt her down. I think
it's better if you continue to ship goods to our Tengyue branch in Africa, crushing Zhongyi with the lowest market price, forcing
Qin Feng to come out and see me."

Wu Mo was secretly astonished. Damn it, this woman is really shrewd; she actually thought of this trick.
Now , Qin Feng really is in Africa. If that fat worm really sends people to hunt her down, her life will be in danger.
In addition, Qin Yi wants her to use the lowest price to penetrate the African market and force Qin Feng to show himself. This move is too ruthless.

Wu Mo keenly realized that another test had arrived. If she didn't cooperate with her, it would
arouse . No, not only her suspicion, but also that fat worm who has been hiding behind the scenes would suspect
her again. To get rid of their suspicion, she could only do as they asked. However, if Qin Feng complied with
their demands, it would be too dangerous for him, and it would also cause a severe price shock in the African market,
leading to cannibalistic competition among Chinese mobile phone retailers in Africa.

Qin Yi stared at Wu Mo, waiting for his response. But Wu Mo remained hesitant and silent, so Qin Yi asked, "What's wrong
? Do you disagree? Or do you have other ideas?"

A smile appeared on Wu Mo's face: "Vice Governor Qin, what I'm considering now is where this funding will come from?
A price war is a double-edged sword; it can hurt others but also hurt ourselves."

Qin Yi smiled slightly: "Didn't Gu Jiwang just invest 5 billion in your Tenglong Group? With this 5
billion as support, what are you worried about funding for?"

Wu Mo smiled and shook his head: "Vice Governor Qin, to use such a large sum of money, the shareholders'
signature is required."

Qin Yi was taken aback, because what Wu Mo said made sense, and besides, Gu Jiwang was not an easy character to deal with. Thinking of...
She smiled and said, "Then I'll allocate another 100 million to you. You can use this 100 million as capital to boost Qin Feng's sales
in Africa . That should be fine, right?"

Wu Mo smiled and said, "If that's the case, there's one more issue I must remind you of."

"What issue?" Qin Yi asked.

"We'll also be transferring funds through mobile phone sales later. If we lower the price
too much in the early stages, it will be difficult to operate later," Wu Mo explained.

Qin Yi said, "I will handle the later issues through government cooperation with various African countries, so
you don't need to worry about that."

Wu Mo felt reassured and smiled, "Alright, I won't go back to China with you this time. I'll go to Africa first
to see how Zhongyi Group's sales are conducted."

Gong Yue smiled. During Qin Yi and Wu Mo's conversation, she had a premonition that Wu Mo would have this plan,
and that it would be advantageous to her. She wanted to see how Wu Mo would engage in a price war with Qin Feng. After

Wu Mo and Gong Yue saw Qin Yi off, the gloomy atmosphere suddenly lightened considerably. Returning from the airport,
Gong Yue beamed like a child.

However, Wu Mo was far from happy. Going to Africa to engage in a price war with Qin Feng, Qin Yi wagered 100 million yuan
to force Qin Feng out. Furthermore, that fat worm said he would send people to hunt down Qin Feng; it was
unclear whether he had actually done so.

Since Qin Yi proposed using price to cripple Zhongyi Group's sales network in Africa, it meant she had already guessed
that Qin Feng might be hiding there. Wouldn't she then tell the fat worm to send people directly to Africa to hunt down
Qin Feng?!

Thinking of this, Wu Mo grew secretly anxious.

Seeing Wu Mo remain silent, Gong Yue giggled, "Darling, my mother's gone, why do you still look so
worried ?"

Wu Mo could almost read her mind, so he smiled and said, "Yes, I'm worried.
If we engage in cutthroat competition and ruin the African market, it won't
be easy to continue doing business there in the future."

Gong Yue chuckled, then looked at Wu Pingshi and said, "With the money my parents transferred out to back us up,
what are you afraid of?" Wu Mo smiled, "I'm looking forward to it."

After saying that, Wu Mo took out his phone in front of Gong Yue and called Qiu Wuli: "Vice Governor Qin will
transfer 100 million yuan to our account soon to purchase mobile phones for shipment to Africa. Contact the various suppliers now and try
to get the purchase price as low as possible."

Qiu Wuli understood what Wu Mo meant by not addressing him by name, so he simply hummed in
response.

Wu Mo continued, "This 100 million yuan is to increase our competitive advantage in the African market, so you must
be prepared." After saying that, he hung up the phone, giving Gong Yue the impression that he was giving instructions.

After receiving Wu Mo's call, Qiu Wuli immediately realized that Wu Mo was sending him a message:
Qin Yi was about to take action against Qin Feng. Could Qin Feng withstand a 100 million yuan investment in the African market?
A sudden thought flashed through his mind: Damn it, Wu Mo was telling him that Qin Yi had guessed
Qin Feng was hiding in Africa! If Qin Yi knew Qin Feng was in Africa, wouldn't the powerful figure behind her send people
to arrest her or silence her?!

Thinking this, Qiu Wuli's expression changed, and he immediately pulled out his phone.

"Hello, Teacher Qiu!" Qin Feng's clear voice came from the other end of the line.

Qiu Wuli said expressionlessly, "The fact that you received my call means you're still safe.
Now , you need to set off immediately to another location. Qin Yi and his group know where you're hiding. Furthermore, they
're preparing to use 100 million yuan to disrupt your Zhongyi Group's sales network in Africa. Their intention is obvious: to force you to show yourself."

Qin Feng let out an "Ah" on the phone, remained silent for a while, and then said, "Teacher Qiu, I'll follow your
instructions . However, this price war seems unavoidable."

Qiu Wuli smiled, "Don't worry. Just do what you need to do. Qin Yi and his group are a bunch of idiots; they
don't understand market dynamics at all. Okay, that's all. Get ready quickly; Wu Mo might be coming to Africa.
Remember, you can't meet him. Have Zhao Tianlong represent you!"

Qin Feng said, "Thank you, Teacher Qiu."

After ending the call, Qiu Wuli stared at a certain spot for a long time before getting up and driving towards Wu Mo's office
.

Upon arriving at Wu Mo's office, Qiu Feng opened the door, and Qiu Wuli walked in with a smile, saying as she went,
"Go and invite Director

Zhang from the purchasing department." Qiu Feng turned and walked out, picking up the phone to call Zhang Xu, the purchasing director. A moment later, Zhang Xu rushed
over . Zhang Xu was a veteran under Wu Mo for many years. After hearing Qiu Wuli's instructions, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Director Qiu,
I'll go and notify all the suppliers to come to the meeting right away."

Qiu Wuli nodded with a smile.

As Zhang Xu left, Qiu Feng asked softly, "Teacher, how is Wu Mo now?"

Qiu Wuli smiled and said , "Yes, he's doing well. You don't need to worry."

Qiu Feng quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Good, that's good."

Qiu Wuli smiled and said, "Qiu Feng, Qin Yi and his group are forcing Wu Mo to go to war with Qin Feng in Africa. They're trying to use
100 million yuan to attack the African market at the lowest possible price, to destroy Zhongyi's operational network in Africa, and at the same time
force Qin Feng to show himself."

Qiu Feng couldn't help but exclaim "Ah!" and asked, "Teacher, what should we do? Is Wu Mo safe over there?"

Qiu Wuli smiled slightly, "He has successfully avoided the crisis. Currently, Qin Yi and his group are forcing him to
take action against Qin Feng. He's only experiencing a psychological crisis, it's nothing serious."

Qiu Feng looked at Qiu Wuli and remained silent for a long time.

"You don't need to worry about him. Wu Mo is no ordinary person; he always manages to escape danger." Qiu Wuli said with a smile.
To be honest, he was very gratified that Qiu Feng was concerned about Wu Mo's safety, which was itself an expression of love.

As they were talking, Zhang Xu came to the office again.

"Mr. Qiu, the suppliers will arrive around 2 PM," Zhang Xu said.

Qiu Wuli appreciated Zhang Xu's efficiency and nodded approvingly, "Good, I'll personally chair
the meeting ." Zhang Xu looked at Qiu Wuli with a puzzled expression and asked, "I've been thinking about what you just said, but I don't
understand. Could you please enlighten me, Mr. Qiu?"

Qiu Wuli smiled and said, "Alright, I'll repeat it. We're asking the suppliers to raise their minimum supply price before shipping
to Africa. As for why, you'll find out later."

Zhang Xu said, "Wouldn't those suppliers be overjoyed?"

Qiu Wuli chuckled, "Then let them be."

Qiu Wuli's intention was clear: the purchase price wasn't determined by Tenglong, but by the suppliers.
Buying at high prices and selling at low prices, the 100 million yuan would vanish instantly. Didn't Qin Yi and his team want to use a price war to
crush Zhongyi? Fine, then keep investing, use as much as you can. Anyway, this money
would ultimately go to domestic mobile phone manufacturers, who were worried about not being able to sell their phones.

However, Qiu Wuli naturally couldn't explain the reasons behind this almost self-destructive plan to Zhang Xu.

At 2 PM, Wu Mo, Gong Yue, and Wu Pingshi took off from Los Angeles Airport, heading towards the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Qin Feng, on the other hand, flew from the DRC airport to Australia for a vacation.

After returning to Guangzhou, Qin Yi immediately called the man to report that Qin Feng might be in Africa and told him about his plan
to use 100 million yuan to destroy Qin Feng's sales network in Africa, forcing Qin Feng to show herself.

After a long pause, the man said, "Wouldn't that also lower our prices in the African market
?"

Qin Yi replied, "Once the Tenglong Mobile Phone Industrial Park officially goes into production, I will negotiate with the local
government using a distribution channel."

The man hummed in agreement and said, "There's something else. Gu Jiwang is back. She's under
investigation . The Party's internal report states that she was suspected of massive embezzlement during her marriage to Bo Dongjin and is currently in custody."

Qin Yi exclaimed, "Then she won't reveal the 5 billion yuan, will she?!"
Chapter Sixteen The man with the slightly protruding belly

chuckled and said, "The organization is investigating what happened during her marriage to Bo Dongjin,
not after. Besides, she wouldn't dare. Because it involves her father's connections."

Qin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Bo Dongjin won't reveal what Qin Yifeng is hiding, will he?"

The man said, "He wouldn't say even if you beat him to death. His son is being controlled by our people! Alright, that's all."

After ending the call, Qin Yi actually wanted to ask about his promotion to executive vice governor, but before he could
say it, the man hung up.

Qin Yi sighed softly. Gu Jiwang, hmph, aren't you his mistress? Let's see if he'll protect you
, you slut! Qin Yi muttered to himself.

After Wu Mo, Gong Yue, and Wu Pingshi got off the plane in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zhao Tianlong immediately knew that Wu Mo had arrived.
Of course, this was what Qin Feng had told him before leaving. Having not seen his old boss for so long, Zhao Tianlong was very much
looking forward to it .

After Wu Mo and Gong Yue settled into the hotel, Gong Yue giggled, "Wu Mo, we stayed at the same
hotel last time. I didn't expect to stay at the same hotel again, just in a different room."

Wu Mo smiled, "Look, it's eight o'clock at night, and the streets are full of black people. It's
better not to go out." Gong Yue laughed, "I wasn't planning on going out anyway. Okay, I'm going to take a shower, and then we'll
go to sleep ."

Wu Mo nodded, and as Gong Yue turned to go to the bathroom, he noticed that her belly was slightly protruding. Damn it
, I'm committing a sin! I've gotten another baby. How am I going to explain this to the Zhang sisters?!

Listening to the sound of the water running in the bathroom, Wu Mo's mind started racing. He didn't know
if Qiu Wuli understood his meaning. His intention was for Qiu Wuli to notify all suppliers to raise their prices, which
would reduce the number of phones shipped. Reducing the shipment volume
would .

Furthermore, this 100 million yuan was essentially donated to domestic mobile phone manufacturers, indirectly supporting
the development of domestic mobile phones. Wu Mo wondered if Qiu Wuli understood this two-pronged plan.
Just

then, he heard Gong Yue call from the bathroom, "Wu Mo, come and shower too! Help me scrub my back
!" Hearing Gong Yue's coquettish voice, Wu Mo suddenly felt a surge of annoyance. However, remembering the child in her belly
, he stood up, took off his clothes, and went inside.

Gong Yue, seeing him enter, giggled, "I remember what we did in the bathroom, and now I want it."
Wu Mo looked at her in surprise and said, "We can't be so rough anymore; you're carrying my child."

Gong Yue chuckled, "Okay, then you can scrub my back. I feel like the Democratic Republic of Congo
is full of dust." Wu Mo understood she was making an excuse, so he didn't say anything more and picked up a towel
to scrub her smooth back.

After showering, Gong Yue stared at Wu Mo's penis and said sweetly, "Wu Mo, I love your thing so much!
Carry me to bed, I want it."

Wu Mo picked her up with a white bath towel and then went to the bed naked. Gong Yue's slightly protruding belly didn't
detract from her beauty; on the contrary, it made her even more alluring.

Without much foreplay, Wu Mo went straight in. This time, he was very careful, trying not to
bump her abdomen, and he didn't try to control the urge to ejaculate. He ejaculated quickly.

Perhaps because of pregnancy, a woman's sexual desire isn't as strong as before. Therefore, Gong Yue
didn't show any dissatisfaction with Wu Mo's performance. Instead, she snuggled into his arms and quickly
fell asleep like a kitten.

It seemed that marrying Gong Yue was a done deal. Wu Mo wondered what would
happen if he didn't marry her. Gu Jiwang had already told him that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection was closely monitoring him. So,
should he resort to such despicable means to carry out his plan?

Oh no, it has to continue, and even more realistically. Right now, Qin Yi and his group's
turtle heads have poked their heads out, but their necks haven't come out yet. To complete the interception, I
'll probably have to pay even more later! Thinking this, Wu Mo drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Wu Mo got up early, while Gong Yue was still fast asleep.

After washing up, Wu Mo returned to bed, stroking Gong Yue's naked body, and said, "Today I'm going to
see Qin Feng's headquarters in Africa, do you want to come?"

Gong Yue hummed in agreement, then sat up, smiling seductively, "Sure, I'll go wash up now." She
quickly put on her pajamas and headed to the bathroom. Wu Mo looked at her graceful figure and swaying,
full hips, but his eyes showed no lust.

After Gong Yue finished washing up, Wu Mo opened the door and knocked on the door of the next room, but unexpectedly, Wu Ping...
Shi walked over and opened the door. Wu Pingshi smiled and asked, "Where are we going?"

Wu Mo replied, "To the African headquarters of the Sino-Italian Group."

Gong Yue had changed her clothes; she was still wearing a rather revealing outfit, a long V-neck dress that exposed most of her
breasts , highlighting a deep cleavage. She hadn't put on makeup, but her natural beauty made
her even more radiant.

Wu Pingshi didn't even look at her, instead walking ahead. After

the three of them left the hotel, Gong Yue asked, "Wu Mo, do you know where Qin Feng's headquarters are located?"

Her seemingly casual question immediately reminded Wu Mo, who laughed and said, "How would I know?
Let's just go and stumble upon them."

Gong Yue shook her head and said, "Blindly searching like this definitely won't work. I think we do
n't even need to look for them; they'll come to us."

Gong Yue's meaning was clear: once the phones arrived in Africa and were sold at a low price, Qin Feng and his team
would definitely investigate their competitors.

Wu Mo secretly admired Gong Yue's shrewdness and chuckled, "Hehe, that's good. So
what should ?"

Gong Yue looked at the black people all over the street and smiled, "Let's go check out the mobile phone shops and see how these black people
do business ."

Wu Mo nodded and started looking along the street. Soon they saw a mobile phone shop with a black employee, but when they went
inside, they found that there was no one there. He was surprised; how could a
mobile phone ?

The black woman in the shop was very pretty. Seeing Wu Mo and the others come in, she smiled and said something
in English , which Wu Mo understood to mean "Welcome." He was secretly surprised; this way of greeting customers
was something only seen in mobile phone shops in China. Could this be Qin Feng's shop?

Wu Mo smiled at Gong Yue, "You talk to her; my English isn't good. Ask her why there are
n't any customers in the shop."

Gong Yue understood Wu Mo's meaning and started talking to the black girl. Wu Mo couldn't
understand , so he went to look at the counter filled with mobile phones.

After a while, Gong Yue came over and said, "Do you know why we don't see any customers in the store?" Wu Mo shook his head.
Gong Yue continued, "This store looks like a shop, but it's actually a warehouse full of mobile phones.
People online and then come to pick them up."

"Didn't you ask who the owner of this store is?" Wu Mo asked.

Gong Yue chuckled and said, "This girl doesn't know who the owner is at all, but she said the store is run by Chinese people
, and she's just working here."

Wu Mo vaguely felt that this store was run by Qin Feng, because the phrase "Welcome"
was only used by Tenglong and Zhongyi Group in China; it was the standard service language in Dongguan.

Just as he was thinking, Wu Mo saw a tall Chinese man walking over!

Wu Mo felt a surge of joy, because this man was Zhao Tianlong.

Zhao Tianlong saw a familiar figure in the store from afar, and as he approached, he was overjoyed.
His old boss was here! Wu Mo was here! He was secretly excited.

However, he didn't see the excitement Wu Mo had expected, and felt slightly disappointed. But
he quickly realized that Wu Mo was with a glamorous and alluring woman—Gong Yue.

Zhao Tianlong, having followed Wu Mo for many years, was quick-witted. Just as he was about to approach, he suddenly turned around and
went into a nearby clothing store.

Wu Mo had been secretly worried that Zhao Tianlong would rush up to greet him enthusiastically; if that happened,
Gong Yue, with her intelligence, would definitely give herself away. Seeing his old subordinate disappear into the store,
his anxiety finally subsided. "Damn, this Zhao Tianlong is pretty good; he reacts quickly!" Wu Mo
secretly praised him.

Gong Yue, of course, couldn't see any of this. She continued to smile and glance around. In fact, she
had no interest in selling mobile phones; in her mind, only the large sum of money her mother and father were transferring was on her mind.

Wu Mo looked at the street full of black people, but his heart was filled with anxiety. He didn't know if Qin Feng had
left . He had suddenly bumped into Zhao Tianlong earlier, but they couldn't talk. This
feeling of brushing past each other while pretending not to know each other was painful, Wu Mo thought.

Gong Yue wouldn't leave his side, and although Wu Mo appeared free on the surface, he felt like he
was trapped in a cage. How to pass the information to Zhao Tianlong without arousing Gong Yue's suspicion was Wu
Mo's anxious question.

Oh, isn't Wu Pingshi here? Let him pass the message, while he stays by Gong Yue's side—
isn't the best way?!

Thinking this, Wu Mo smiled at Gong Yue, "Come on, let's go upstairs and take a look." As Gong Yue turned around,
Wu Mo gestured to Wu Pingshi and then nodded.

Wu Pingshi smiled knowingly and deliberately slowed his pace behind. A moment later, Wu Mo was led by Gong Yue, who was holding his right arm,
into another shop. This shop actually sold Chinese Hetian jade. The shop owner was Chinese, Wu Mo
confirmed his identity from the pronunciation of his English.

He decided to linger in the shop to buy Gong Yue a piece of jade as a gift.

Wu Pingshi followed Wu Mo for a short distance before turning back into the mobile phone shop. A moment later,
Zhao Tianlong emerged from the clothing store next door.

"Mr. Zhao, hello, I'm Wu's driver, Wu Pingshi." Wu Pingshi smiled and extended his hand to shake Zhao Tianlong
's. Zhao Tianlong's eyes lit up with excitement; instead of shaking hands, he hugged him tightly.

Zhao Tianlong smiled and said, "It's great to see you all. Who was that woman with Mr. Wu just now? I almost
went up to say hello!"

Wu Pingshi looked at him and said, "Luckily you didn't. That woman is Qin Yi's daughter. You know Qin Yi, right
?" Zhao Tianlong nodded.

"Please inform Miss Qin Feng to leave the Democratic Republic of Congo immediately. Qin Yi will send people here to search for her,"
Wu Pingshi said softly.

Zhao Tianlong chuckled and said, "President Qiu Wuli already called Qin Feng, and President Qin is currently on vacation
in Australia ." Hearing this, Wu Pingshi was truly impressed by Qiu Wuli. "This old
guy is amazing," Wu Pingshi thought to himself. In fact, Qiu Wuli was only two years older than him, hardly
"old."

"Oh, Mr. Zhao, there's something else I need to discuss." Wu Pingshi suddenly remembered Qin Yi's plan to use 100
million yuan to penetrate the African market.

Zhao Tianlong laughed, "Brother Wu, you don't need to explain. Mr. Qin already told me before he left that Qin Yi wants to use 100
million yuan to destroy the sales network that Zhongyi has established in Africa, right?"

Wu Pingshi looked at him in surprise and nodded, "Since Mr. Zhao already knows, I won't go on.
Send me your phone number later. Wu Mo wants to see you, but judging from his appearance, he probably can't
get away for the time being."

Zhao Tianlong took out a business card. Apart from a phone number, Wu Pingshi
couldn't understand a single word of the foreign language. "Hehe, they know me, but I don't know them," Wu Pingshi joked.

Zhao Tianlong said, "How can we get General Manager Wu out of this mess? I want to see him too."

Wu Pingshi smiled and said, "No need to rush, it'll be fine in a few days."

Zhao Tianlong stared at him in surprise and asked, "A few days?"

Wu Pingshi patted his shoulder: "When you can't hold on any longer, you'll naturally come looking for him. Then, it'll be
perfectly legitimate."

Zhao Tianlong was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what he meant and burst into laughter.

"However, to be on the safe side, you'd better have your men arrange for a foreigner to come see General Manager Wu first,
and then you can appear on behalf of the General Manager of the Sino-Italian Group's African branch," Wu Pingshi instructed.

After saying that, Wu Pingshi walked out without looking back. Zhao Tianlong watched him from behind, thinking: Damn it,
it's like he's doing something clandestine!

After Wu Pingshi came out, Wu Mo and Gong Yue were walking towards him. As they approached, Gong Yue looked at him suspiciously and
asked, "Why did you go back again?"

Wu Pingshi smiled and said, "I saw that this store seemed to sell Apple phones, so I went back to check the prices to see
if they were more expensive than in China."

Wu Mo smiled and said, "Gong Yue was worried you'd lose them. It's your first time in this unfamiliar country; safety is the most important thing."

Wu Pingshi said, "Thank you, President Gong."

Gong Yue smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, I just checked too. Apple phones here are indeed much
cheaper . Wu Mo, why are they more expensive in China?"

Wu Mo smiled and said, "Steve Jobs is bullying us."

Gong Yue smiled and continued walking forward, arm in arm with Wu Mo. Zhao Tianlong walked out of the store and
felt a sense of loss as he watched his former boss with this glamorous woman.

Before leaving, Qin Feng had a long and in-depth conversation with him. Zhao Tianlong could still remember the helpless look in Qin Feng's eyes two days ago.
This apprentice he had once mentored, Qin Yifeng's daughter, was highly intelligent, and he was far from being her
match.

Because of her avoidance of Qin Yi and his group, Qin Feng, who had originally appeared vibrant and beautiful, now
looked melancholy and had lost a lot of weight. Her youth remained, but her radiance was gone.

Qin Feng said, "President Zhao, I know you're Wu Mo's man, a middleman sent by Wu Mo to infiltrate Zhongyi.
But that's all in the past. You're my mentor, you taught me so much, and I'm very grateful to you.
This time, because I cooperated with Wu Mo to stop Qin Yi and his group from transferring embezzled funds, I got into trouble with the Zhongyi Group
. Master Qiu Wuli called me and told me not to stay in the Democratic Republic of Congo, saying that Qin Yi and his group
had guessed I was in Africa and that I should leave." As she said this, tears welled up in Qin Feng's eyes, and
Zhao Tianlong pulled out a tissue and handed it to her.

Qin Feng wiped her eyes and continued, "More importantly, Qin Yi gave Wu Mo 100 million yuan
to attack or destroy our hard-earned sales network in the African market with the lowest prices. This move
is too ruthless. So, I'm really worried about leaving the Democratic Republic of Congo at this time. I really don't
know what to do!"

Zhao Tianlong looked at her quietly, and after she calmed down, asked, "Did President Qiu tell you all this?"
Qin Feng nodded silently.

Zhao Tianlong suddenly laughed, "President Qin, then you don't need to worry. Go on vacation with peace of mind. President Qiu will definitely
have a way to deal with it."

Qin Feng nodded and said, "We currently have a sales
network . If Qin Yi and his team do retail at the lowest prices, our network will collapse, and we
may find it difficult to establish ourselves in Africa in the future."

Hearing this, Zhao Tianlong understood that Qin Feng was still worried. After a moment of silence, he took out his phone and
called Qiu Wuli in front of Qin Feng, pressing the speakerphone button.

He repeated Qin Feng's concerns and then asked Qiu Wuli for instructions on how to handle the situation. Qiu Wuli was currently
preparing a honey-infused pumpkin soup for Lü'e, which the doctor said was beneficial for pregnant women.

Qiu Wuli smiled and said, "I've already made arrangements. The first step is to purchase
from to reduce the number of phones needed. The second step is to require suppliers to improve the phone's
functionality, but without providing warranty service. Only your Zhongyi Group can provide warranty service. This way, we
can preserve Zhongyi's market in Africa. Do you understand?"

Zhao Tianlong looked at Qin Feng, whose eyes lit up with surprise: "Teacher Qiu, wouldn't this damage
Tenglong's brand in the African market?"

Qiu Wuli laughed heartily: "We're taking a suicidal approach to preserve Zhongyi Group. Besides,
our Tenglong Group currently has no brand influence in Africa. So, what's the point of talking about a brand, right?"
