Chapter Seventeen Black Girl Jennifer

Qin Feng chuckled, his worried brows unfurrowing, his youthful radiance returning.

"Also, Wu Mo is coming to Africa in a few days. Qin Feng absolutely must not meet with Wu Mo. Do you understand what I mean?"
Qiu Wuli asked on the phone.

Qin Feng laughed, "Don't worry, teacher, I will carry out your plan and fly far away!"

Zhao Tianlong recalled these things, feeling a surge of warmth in his heart. Qiu Wuli's image in his mind was like a towering mountain.

At the same time, a wave of sorrow and tragic heroism welled up in his heart. Wu Mo, this old boss,
seemed infinitely glamorous on the surface, but his heart was filled with bitterness. Yet,
who could match his lofty spirit and ambition, and his noble ideals?!

Although he was sent by him to infiltrate Zhongyi, he had never seen him give him
any orders to sabotage Zhongyi's operations. Tenglong Group and Zhongyi Group were mortal enemies. Oh, no, that was all in the past.
Zhao Tianlong thought to himself, "If the two companies truly join forces, wouldn't the African market be completely dominated by Chinese
retailers ?"

After a long silence, Zhao Tianlong took out his phone and dialed Qin Feng's number.

"Master," Qin Feng called out to Zhao Tianlong only once on the phone.

Zhao Tianlong responded with an "Mm," and asked, "Are you alright over there?" Qin Feng asked, "Did Wu
Mo come?" Zhao Tianlong said yes, and then recounted what he had seen to Qin Feng, but
cleverly avoided mentioning Gong Yue.

Qin Feng remained silent for a long time on the phone before saying, "Did he ask about me?" Zhao Tianlong sensed
a hint of bitterness in Qin Feng's voice and thought: Could it be that she and President Wu have a deeper relationship? Why is she
speaking like this?!

Zhao Tianlong hesitated for a moment before saying, "He had Qin Yi and his men with him, so he didn't mention you. Also,
I didn't get a chance to speak with him, but I did speak with Wu Pingshi."

Qin Feng said "Oh," and laughed, "This Teacher Qiu Wuli is truly... truly exceptionally wise."

Zhao Tianlong chuckled, "Mr. Qin, Wu Pingshi's message is that he's waiting for me to come find him
after the phone arrives in Africa. So, I'm currently waiting."

"Good, then I can relax and enjoy myself in Australia. I'm waiting for Master's good news," Qin Feng
said with a smile .

After finishing the call with Qin Feng in the shop, he smiled warmly at the pretty black girl in front of him.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao!" the girl greeted him in broken Mandarin.

It turned out that, to facilitate communication with the shop staff, Zhao Tianlong had Zhao Yi teach them Chinese and provide regular training. Meanwhile,
Janison, the general manager of the Congo (DRC) branch of the African division, now speaks fluent Chinese. This young woman is very
quick-witted, no wonder she's a Harvard graduate. Of the 25 countries in Africa, the
DRC branch, under her leadership, is performing the best.

Although Zhao Yi is jealous of Janison, she can't help but admire her abilities, especially considering Zhao Tianlong's
favor towards her. Zhao Yi can only turn a blind eye to their ambiguous relationship.

When Zhao Tianlong returned to his office, Janison was there. She smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, where did you go?
I couldn't find you anywhere."

Zhao Tianlong chuckled and asked, "Why did you call me?"

Janison said sweetly, "Zambia wants to transfer goods from here, but my resources are running
low. Therefore, I wanted to ask you what to do."

Zhao Tianlong suddenly realized that it wasn't just the Zambian branch that was short of goods; the other branches were in the same situation.
He didn't answer her but instead picked up his phone and called Zhang Chengfeng.

Zhang Chengfeng was looking at the sales data Zhao Tianlong had sent back on his computer when he was suddenly interrupted by Zhao Tianlong's call.

"Mr. Zhang, why hasn't the supply request I sent back to the company arrived yet?" Zhao Tianlong
asked.

Zhang Chengfeng replied, "Just think about it yourself, and you'll know! Qin Yi and his team used 100 million
yuan to purchase a large number of mobile phones from suppliers, and headquarters is also short of stock."

Zhao Tianlong was reminded by Zhang Chengfeng's words. Yes, Qin Yi's ruthless move had caused
a shortage of mobile phones in the domestic market, a phenomenon that hadn't occurred in over a decade. This also indicated that Qiu Wuli had begun
his operations .

Thinking of this, Zhao Tianlong stopped arguing with Zhang Chengfeng and quickly dialed Qiu Wuli's
number . After listening to his request, Qiu Wuli said, "How about this, I'll send you a batch of mobile phones from Tenglong first
, at the previous purchase price, to solve your urgent needs."

Zhao Tianlong nodded in agreement, inwardly praising Qiu Wuli once again.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Tianlong smiled and said to Jennifer, "Alright, wait a few more days." Jennifer nodded,
then looked straight at him, her eyes flashing with desire.

Zhao Tianlong remembered that it had been a long time since he had been with her, and the young woman was thinking about it. But
now was not the time for pleasure; he needed to make arrangements for the upcoming low-price storm.

So, Zhao Tianlong smiled and said, "Jenny, there's something I need to discuss with you."

Jenny smiled

obsequiously, "Please go ahead, Mr. Zhao." Zhao Tianlong recounted the upcoming low-price storm to her, then said, "After these
low-priced phones arrive in Africa, please go and negotiate with this company on my behalf first, and then I'll go in."

Jenny was a little confused, so Zhao Tianlong continued, "This is a Chinese company trying to seize our company
's market in Africa, so the situation is very serious. You may not understand now, but you will in a while."

Jenny thought for a long time before saying, "I really don't understand. You're all Chinese companies, why do you have to do this kind of
self-destructive thing? It's terrifying!"

Zhao Tianlong thought to himself: If I could understand China, that would be truly remarkable. At this moment, Jenny's mind was filled
with desire. She was very satisfied with this Chinese boss, especially his wolfish aggressiveness, which she found very enjoyable.

"Mister Zhao, I want you out to have sex with me!"
Jennifer said, gazing at him tenderly.

Zhao Tianlong couldn't understand her language and didn't respond for a long time.

"I want you to make love to me, Zhao Tianlong!" Jennifer suddenly shouted.

Zhao Tianlong understood; this black woman wanted another fierce battle with him. He couldn't help but smile.

Looking at Jennifer's curvaceous figure, Zhao Tianlong's lust slowly rose. This black girl...
His sexual desires were direct, but his sense of equality was strong. He remembered Qin Feng saying that once she fell for
someone, she would never let them go easily. Therefore, Zhao Tianlong didn't feel a sense of conquest; instead, he felt like she had become his
prey.

"Jenny, don't be so loud, okay? It's working hours now, it's not good for the atmosphere," Zhao Tianlong said with a smile.

Jenny laughed and said, "Mr. Zhao, the day I stop liking you, I won't be so loud."
After saying that , she glanced triumphantly at the black compatriots who, like herself, were sitting outside working.

"I have an idea, I wonder if Mr. Zhao would like to hear it?" Jenny looked at Zhao Tianlong.

Zhao Tianlong said, "Please go ahead."

Jenny's expression suddenly became serious: "If this batch of phones is really going to flood our
African , then we can file a complaint against this company. Then, we can get the government to remove these phones
!"

Zhao Tianlong's eyes lit up after hearing this! Yes, this kind of malicious competition disrupts the market. Although it may
benefit the citizens of our own country, it will also deal a huge blow to local African mobile phone operators. Thinking of this,
Zhao Tianlong's eyes lit up with a smile, and he gave a thumbs up, saying, "Good, very good!"

Seeing his improved mood, Jennifer flirted and deliberately lowered her body, showing off her ample breasts
to Zhao Tianlong. Zhao Tianlong glanced at them and laughed, "Jennifer, I'm in a great mood right now.
However , I need to report to the head office to see if your suggestion is feasible. So, I'll talk to you again tonight."

Jennifer looked at Zhao Tianlong excitedly, then swayed her plump hips as she walked out and returned to her
office. Zhao Tianlong took out his phone, dialed Qiu Wuli's number, and repeated Jennifer's
suggestion .

Qiu Wuli remained silent, thinking it was indeed a good idea.

"I was just thinking about this too. If the low-price sales trigger a boycott from local mobile phone operators,
many unforeseen things will inevitably happen, such as panic buying and riots, seriously affecting local public
security . Therefore, you must find a way to contact Wu Mo as soon as possible and
inform Qin Yi and the others about this potentially huge risk, so that they will stop their actions!" Qiu Wuli said.

Seeing Qiu Wuli's response, Zhao Tianlong replied, "Then you'll have to delay the shipment to Africa
. Currently, the public security in the Democratic Republic of Congo is already poor, with several open robberies occurring.
I will contact Mr. Wu or Wu Pingshi as soon as possible."

Qiu Wuli responded with "uh-huh" on the phone and then hung up.

After finishing the call with Qiu Wuli, Zhao Tianlong suddenly became anxious. He urgently needed to see Wu Mo or
Wu Pingshi to tell Wu Mo this analysis so that immediate action could be taken.

He found Wu Pingshi's phone number on his phone and dialed it. Wu Pingshi
was strolling down the street with Wu Mo and Gong Yue when the phone rang. He took it out and saw it was Zhao Tianlong.

In fact, Wu Mo's avoidance of meeting Zhao Tianlong was unnecessary. Back when he first came to
Congo , Wu Mo had already told Gong Yue about having Zhao Tianlong go undercover. He had simply forgotten and was afraid Gong Yue
would become suspicious, so he dared not meet Zhao Tianlong.

The streets of the Democratic Republic of Congo were not much different from those in China, except for the skin color of the pedestrians and
some strangely dressed people.

Wu Mo smiled and said, "Gong Yue, I suddenly remembered someone."

Gong Yue turned her head and smiled, "I think I heard you mention before that you had an undercover agent in Zhongyi Company, right?"
Wu Mo was startled and said, "Yes, it's been a long time since I've used that method; I almost forgot about it."

Gong Yue chuckled and asked, "Where is this person now? Is he also in the Democratic Republic of Congo?"

Wu Mo nodded and said, "Isn't your mother trying to track Qin Feng? I think I could have my
undercover agent investigate secretly."

Gong Yue suddenly stopped, turned around, and stared at Wu Mo, asking, "Wu Mo, don't lie to me.
Actually, you already knew Qin Feng's whereabouts, didn't you?"

Wu Mo was stunned, staring at her for a long time, unable to speak.

"I've been thinking back on all the details of our time in Los Angeles. You're very clever; you covered
it . But I'm not my mother. I let you meet with Gu Jiwang alone twice; do you
know why I didn't stop you?" Gong Yue smiled, but her eyes were sharp.

Wu Mo stared blankly at Gong Yue, then suddenly remembered that when he and Wu Pingshi went to see Gu Jiwang, Gong
Yue hadn't stopped them or warned Qin Yi. So, what was Gong Yue's intention? Wu Mo couldn't understand
.

Gong Yue chuckled and said, "Because I can't let my parents suspect you again. If I
stopped them, things might go in the opposite direction." Gong Yue finished speaking, still staring at him.

Wu Mo understood from Gong Yue's words that she was intentionally protecting him. Was it simply because she was
carrying his child? No, impossible, absolutely impossible! Wu Mo's mind raced.

"Letting you meet Gu Jiwang alone was a fatal mistake my mother made," Gong Yue laughed.
"I simply don't believe this woman is my father's mistress. She must possess something my father can't
resist , not just the so-called HSBC bank key. The reason I didn't stop you was to
see what her trump card was."

Wu Mo was amazed by Gong Yue's meticulous analysis, and what was her
purpose ?

"Gong Yue, it's a real shame you're not a detective," Wu Mo laughed. "So, did you see that?"

Gong Yue smiled slightly: "Wasn't Bo Dongjin placed under investigation? And didn't she go back to face the organization's investigation
? I'm afraid my father is trembling with fear now! In fact, Gu Jiwang has always been
a threat to my father, and this threat comes from the connections behind Gu Jiwang—connections that could kill my father.
It's a pity my mother didn't see these crucial points of checks and balances."

Wu Mo stared at her. This Gong Yue was truly, truly too clever. Even Qiu Wuli
was probably slightly inferior to her.

"After all this roundabout talk, what exactly are you trying to tell me?" Wu Mo asked.

Gong Yue giggled: "I want to tell you, I love you, Wu Mo. I want to marry you. I've discovered my maternal
instincts are coming out, and they're bothering me. Also, you must cooperate with me to complete my plan."

Wu Mo laughed, "Didn't you want to tie me down through marriage and observe my every move? Actually, you
and your mother don't trust me."

"Yes, I don't want to lie," Gong Yue laughed. "As I said before, I don't want you to continue to be under my
parents' suspicion, because it doesn't do me any good for them to doubt you!"

Wu Mo hadn't expected that when he mentioned having an undercover agent in Zhongyi, Gong Yue would
reveal , leaving him with no room for rebuttal. Having a woman like this by his side was fraught with danger;
he could easily step on a landmine!

"You just said you love me, but that sounds so hypocritical to me," Wu Mo asked, staring at her.

Gong Yue was taken aback, anger flashing across her face. After a long pause, she said, "Wu Mo, whether I love you or not, I
know it perfectly well. Otherwise, why would I be carrying this child? Do you think
it's hypocritical for a woman to willingly bear your child?"

Wu Mo was speechless, unable to utter a single word.

"I want that 50 billion, and I want this child, your bloodline, Wu Mo's," Gong Yue suddenly said coldly.
"Otherwise, I will stop my mother from letting you see Gu Jiwang alone. That's all! Now, you can boldly
go see this undercover agent, Zhao Tianlong!"

Wu Mo stared at her in surprise, and after a long while, he said softly, "I'm sorry, Gong Yue. I apologize to you!"

Gong Yue stared blankly at him, tears slowly welling up in her eyes and then quietly sliding down her cheeks.

"I hope you won't lie to me again in the future. To my parents, I will only say that you are trustworthy,"
Gong Yue said coldly. "Please remember that, Wu Mo!"

Wu Mo felt stunned by Gong Yue's words and remained silent for a long time.

Wu Pingshi listened to the conversation between the two and secretly felt that this woman was indeed remarkable.
She saw through many things with a single sentence, and Wu Mo, who was usually eloquent, was repeatedly speechless.

During this time, he had already received a call from Zhao Tianlong, but he couldn't interrupt and could only listen and observe
silently .

Now that the two had finally quieted down, Wu Pingshi had to convey Zhao Tianlong's message to Wu Mo.
So , Wu Pingshi walked up to them and said, "Zhao Tianlong just called. There's something
urgent that needs your attention."

Gong Yue wiped away her tears and said to Wu Mo, "Look how hard you've been working! Why didn't you just say so? Why are you wandering around in circles
like this ?"

Wu Mo ignored her and asked, "Brother Wu, please tell me."

Wu Pingshi clearly conveyed Zhao Tianlong's message. Wu Mo looked at Gong Yue and said, "Gong Yue, did you hear
me? If your mother really does this, the consequences will be very serious. We might be kicked out of Africa, and all our
future plans will be ruined!"

Gong Yue's expression suddenly became serious. She grabbed Wu Mo's arm and said, "Come on, let's go back to
the hotel right now. I'll call my mother and tell her to stop this incredibly foolish behavior!"

Wu Mo and Wu Pingshi exchanged glances. Wu Mo said, "Brother Wu, call Zhao Tianlong and tell him I've
received the message. Tell him not to worry!" With that, he put his arm around Gong Yue's back and they walked into the hotel together.

Wu Pingshi nodded silently and immediately took out his phone to call Zhao Tianlong.

At this moment, the sun in the Democratic Republic of Congo began to slowly set in the west. Many black people
stared , and of course, Wu Pingshi, who was on the phone. Their Asian faces added a touch of scenery to the street.

Back in the hotel room, Gong Yue's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat. Wu Mo asked with concern,
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Gong Yue rubbed her stomach and sat down on the edge of the bed before saying, "Wu Mo, I felt him move inside me, kick
me." Wu Mo stared at him in surprise, his mouth agape, unable to speak.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine," Gong Yue said softly. "Give me my phone, quickly call my
mother . It's all your fault, you disrupted my normal thinking, otherwise how could I not have thought of such a simple problem?!"
Gong Yue said, giving him a reproachful look.

Wu Mo smiled awkwardly and turned to get her the phone.

After the call connected, Gong Yue said, "Mom, using 100 million yuan to destroy Zhongyi Company's sales network seems like a good idea on
the surface , but the potential risks are too great."

Qin Yi was in his office reading a document when he suddenly heard his daughter say this. He was shocked and quickly
asked , "What risks?"

"First, it will provoke strong resistance from local mobile phone retailers in Africa. Africa is not like the United States. It could
easily lead to looting and rioting. If you drive them to the brink of despair, won't they fight back? Second, we
have no one to protect us here, and our safety is not guaranteed. Third, and most importantly, the local government is very
likely to expel us, which will be devastating to our future fund transfers." Gong Yue
finished speaking in one breath and then looked at Wu Mo.

Qin Yi was silent for a long time on the phone before saying, "My daughter is right. If
we this time, in addition to what you just mentioned, it may also lead to a diplomatic incident. Is he with you?
Let him answer the phone."

Gong Yue had actually put the call on speakerphone, and Wu Mo heard everything Qin Yi said.

Wu Mo said, "Please give your instructions, Vice Governor Qin."

Qin Yi paused for a moment on the phone, then said, "Stop, stop immediately. I have a meeting soon,
that's all!" The phone beeped.

Qin Yi hung up.

Wu Mo looked at Gong Yue and laughed, "Your mother only knows how to play tricks, she doesn't understand business at all. Luckily
Zhao Tianlong reminded her, otherwise it would have been troublesome. It would have been extremely difficult to transfer that 50 billion yuan later."

Gong Yue chuckled, "Wu Mo, do you want me to take you somewhere?"

Wu Mo asked, "Where?"

"Our Africa Huamei International Trade Group, please note, ours!" Gong Yue emphasized.

Wu Mo was stunned, "Ours?!" he asked softly.

"Yes, ours!" Gong Yue laughed, "Our Huamei Group Trade Group
was jointly established by Gong Yue and Wu Mo, and its headquarters are in the Democratic Republic of Congo!"

Wu Mo suddenly remembered that Gong Yue had mentioned her plan before; he hadn't expected that she was already secretly implementing it.

Wu Mo didn't say anything more. He was thinking to himself, "That terrifying woman is already quietly
preparing to receive that 500 billion yuan!"

"What's wrong? You seem a little unhappy?" Gong Yue asked, staring at him.

Wu Mo quickly reacted and laughed, "My mobile phone industrial park hasn't even started production yet, isn't it
a bit early?"

Gong Yue said, "You know, I need to gradually transfer the funds from Los Angeles here.
There are only ledgers there, no actual funds."

Wu Mo suddenly understood and laughed, "Did you already anticipate that your parents would have an accident and prepare in advance?"

Gong Yue chuckled, "Yes, that's what I mean. Once something happens to them, my Huamei Group account in the US
will be frozen, and then there will be no way to recover."

Wu Mo looked at her, while Gong Yue smiled charmingly, thinking, she seems to completely trust me, waiting for me to
transfer that 50 billion yuan out.

"Wu Mo, I've told you all my secrets. I'm doing this to prepare for our future.
And also, for him, your child!" Gong Yue said with a smile.

Wu Mo's mood suddenly became incredibly agitated and uneasy. Damn it, am I just trapped like this,
unable to move?

Qin Yi attempted to use marriage to bind him in order to transfer embezzled funds, but Gong Yue intercepted him. Now, Gong
Yue is using her unborn child to bind him, intending to seize
the . This entangled relationship involves both wisdom and strategy.

Wu Mo thought about it, including what Gong Yue said on the street earlier, indicating that she already
considered him her husband, or a completely trustworthy accomplice. But was that really the case?

He suddenly thought of Gu Jiwang and their unfathomable conversations, but he still couldn't figure
it out. He didn't know how to talk to Gong Yue next, or what awaited him.

"Darling, what are you thinking about?" Gong Yue raised her beautiful face and asked Wu Mo.

Wu Mo opened his mouth to say something, but just then there was a gentle knock on the door. Wu

Mo went to open the door, and Wu Pingshi stood in the doorway looking at him. Wu Mo stepped aside and turned to go back
inside .

"Mr. Wu, Mr. Zhang from the purchasing department called to say he's ordered 300,000 mobile phones, with a
prepayment of 80 million yuan. He plans to ship them to Africa in three batches. He's waiting for your instructions!" Wu Pingshi said
expressionlessly .

Wu Mo looked at Gong Yue and then replied, "Wait a moment, I'll discuss it with Gong Yue." After saying that,
he said to Gong Yue, "Gong Yue, what do you think we should do about this?"

Gong Yue was stunned. Wu Mo throwing this question at her meant he couldn't find
a solution ? Or was it intentional?

Gong Yue remained silent. This was a procurement cost of 100 million yuan! Her mother's original intention was to use this money
to cripple Qin Feng's sales network in Africa, but now it couldn't be shipped to Africa for sale. This meant that these
300,000 mobile phones would be stuck in the warehouse, and 100 million yuan would disappear without a trace.

"Wu Mo, what is the cost per unit of these mobile phones?" Gong Yue asked.

Wu Mo said, "You can calculate it yourself. Including shipping and labor, it should be over 500 RMB."

Gong Yue thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "And what about in US dollars? Around 70 USD,
right?" Wu Mo looked at her and nodded.

"Then, what about the phone's performance?" Gong Yue asked again.

Wu Mo glanced at Wu Pingshi, who said, "They're all 3G phones,
customized . The first batch was 200,000 units, the second 500,000, and the third 1 million. A total of 2
million units."

"Currently, the average price in Africa is between 30 and 60 USD. This cost is a bit high."
At this point, Gong Yue stared at Wu Mo and added, "If it's according to my mother's wishes, it should
be sold below this cost price, even lower, to achieve the desired effect. Do you agree, Mr. Wu?"

Wu Mo nodded, but in his heart, he thought that Qiu Wuli must have deliberately inflated the price domestically to benefit
domestic mobile phone manufacturers; otherwise, the cost wouldn't be so high.

Gong Yue suddenly said coldly, "Wu Mo, we've never been apart. I've never seen you
issue such a cost-based procurement order, and you didn't even discuss these procurement costs with me. What's
going on ?"

Before Wu Mo could speak, Gong Yue sneered again, "You don't need to use protecting our future
operations in the African market as an excuse anymore. You must give me a reasonable explanation!"

Wu Mo stared at her in surprise. Wu Pingshi secretly marveled at this woman's intelligence; she
seemed to be able to find loopholes in Wu Mo's arguments at any moment.

"Alright, then I'll tell you the truth," Wu Mo smiled. "Why did I send
an undercover agent into the Zhongyi Group? Especially after Qin Yifeng's death?! I'll tell you the truth: all of Zhao Tianlong's operations in Africa were
directed by me behind the scenes. Because this sales network, created by Qin Feng, is the result I wanted.
In the end , I wanted to devour her and transfer all of Zhongyi Group's sales platforms in 25 African countries to my
Tenglong Group."

Gong Yue stared at him, waiting for him to continue.

"So, how could I destroy it to achieve your mother's personal goals? Therefore, the procurement cost
must be high to reduce the purchase volume. If I discussed this with you beforehand, would you
agree ! So, the order I had Wu Pingshi give you is my explanation." Wu Mo smiled slightly.

Gong Yue glanced at Wu Pingshi and suddenly laughed again. Wu Pingshi

said in a muffled voice, "What are you laughing at? You're so unpredictable, I can't stand you."

Hearing his words, Gong Yue laughed loudly. After laughing, she said, "Wu Mo, I really admire you.
Your bodyguard is not simple either, and he's also very loyal to you! I like you, Brother Wu!"

Wu Pingshi was stunned to hear her praise him like this!

Wu Mo chuckled. In fact, he already understood that Gong Yue had nothing to say and deliberately changed the subject.
At the same time, it was indeed a clever move for him to bring Wu Pingshi along.

"Gong Yue, the prepayment has already been given to the domestic mobile phone manufacturers, and they're probably working day and night
to produce them. What do you suggest we do?" Wu Mo asked.

Gong Yue smiled: "Ask your behind-the-scenes expert for advice. Hmph, I don't care!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Mo was immediately shocked! Wasn't she telling him that she already knew
he had Qiu Wuli behind him? Damn it, how did she know?

"Who said I have some kind of expert behind me? You're too suspicious, Gong Yue!" Wu Mo said coldly.
Now , he finally understood that Gong Yue was not easy to deal with. Perhaps she already
knew many things about him. If she really knew, then wouldn't Qin Yi know too?!

If Qin Yi knew, wouldn't all his plans, which he had been working on for so long, be ruined? Thinking of this,
cold sweat broke out on Wu Mo's back.

Gong Yue chuckled, stroked her belly, and said, "Our son is moving in my belly again. Do you want to
touch him, talk to him, and tell him that you love his mother?"

Wu Mo was amazed by this woman's intelligence. She could change the subject at any time, adjust the atmosphere at any time, and
leave you speechless.

Wu Mo walked over, squatted down, and put his ear to her belly. Sure enough, he heard a faint movement coming from inside
. Gong Yue gently stroked Wu Mo's head and whispered, "Wu Mo, I know a lot about what you've done in
China , including your marriage, the founder of your company, and
the reason for the creation of Huinongbao. But I haven't exposed you, nor have I told my mother. Do you know why?"

Before Wu Mo could answer, Gong Yue continued, "You and I have always been locked in a battle of wits, suspicious of each other yet
dependent on each other. To tell you the truth, before you came into my life, my life was chaotic, and you
probably thought of me as a promiscuous and perverted woman. But I've changed for you. I've restrained my past
recklessness, even my unbridled nature. Why? Do you know? Because I love you,
I truly love you!"

Hearing her heartfelt confession, Wu Mo felt a surge of emotion. Wu Pingshi, however, silently left the room. As a man, he also felt that Gong Yue truly loved Wu Mo, so he quietly left the room
amidst this conversation. "Wu Mo, I don't know if you truly love me, or if you're even using me. I don't want to think about those things right now. All I want is to give birth to this child safely, because it's a flower that unexpectedly bloomed in my life, the source of my love, and the only reason I want to keep you!" Gong Yue said, tears streaming down her face, dripping onto Wu Mo's head. Wu Mo stood up and hugged Gong Yue tightly. He felt this was a precious love; the woman in his arms loved him so sincerely, willingly carrying his child. How should he treat her? Wu Mo's heart was in turmoil. Little did he know, this was a gentle trap set by Gong Yue, waiting for him to fall into it. "Gong Yue, once you transfer your parents' funds out, once our world is bright again, once there's no more mutual suspicion, I will treat you well, like my wife." Wu Mo was moved, his tone softening. Gong Yue nestled her face into Wu Mo's arms and whispered, "Darling, I believe you." Wu Mo nodded silently, saying nothing more. Then, he suddenly remembered what Gong Yue had said earlier—that she knew many things about him. Did that include preventing Qin Yi and his group from transferring his true purpose? However, he then thought, if she knew, how could she possibly let it go so easily in order to carry out her plan to embezzle these funds? Therefore, Wu Mo concluded that Gong Yue did not know his true purpose; otherwise, she would have already instructed Qin Yi and his group to take action. Back at the Dongguan headquarters, Qiu Wuli had said that Qin Yi and his group would not invest , but would definitely invest it in batches, which would make it very difficult to prevent the outflow of funds. And those batches of funds would eventually enter Huamei's account one by one; controlling Huamei's account was the key. In other words, controlling Gong Yue was the key. Thinking of this, Wu Mo smiled and said, "Baby, let's get married. You can choose a date. My only requirement is that we have a prenuptial agreement for the assets of both our companies. It doesn't matter about our personal assets; my company has thousands of employees ." Gong Yue tilted her head back and suddenly pounced on him onto the bed, her alluring eyes blazing with passion . She stared at Wu Mo and said, "That's all fine. Besides, we're not getting married because I forced you, nor because my parents forced you. It's your own choice, right?" Wu Mo smiled and nodded. Gong Yue stared at Wu Mo for a long time, her hands caressing his shirt, then suddenly ripped it open, the buttons popping off and scattering onto the sheets. "I want you, darling. I want you now!" Gong Yue said, pressing her head against his chest, her tongue sliding across Wu Mo's breasts. "I want to serve you with the most perfect way of making love, husband!" Wu Mo was surprised, receiving Gong Yue's passionate kiss, his passion surging. " We can't make love, Gong Yue," he whispered. "Why?" Gong Yue looked up and asked. Wu Mo cupped her delicate face, kissed her forehead, and said, "The baby, we can't disturb the fetus. I want this baby!" A flower-like smile appeared on Gong Yue's face, and she said sweetly, "You're only thinking about this now?" Wu Mo smiled and said, "You know my thing is long, it will hurt the baby in your belly. Hold on, baby!" Gong Yue nodded, panting, "Then do you want to ejaculate? If you do, I'll suck it out , anyway, if you're comfortable, I'm comfortable." Wu Mo gazed at her for a long time, then shook his head and said, "Gong Yue, I understand how you feel, but I don't want to see you so tired, it will break my heart!" Gong Yue was deeply moved by his words, and tears slowly welled up in her eyes. She choked and said, "Wu Mo, I know, you love me, I'm so grateful to you. I, I've never received such care and love from a man before, you're the first one to treat me like this!" Wu Mo sat up and hugged her in his arms again, but this time he was speechless. In Wu Pingshi's room, he was on the phone with Qiu Wuli. "What's Wu Mo doing?" Qiu Wuli asked. Wu Pingshi glanced instinctively next door and replied, "He's having a sweet time with Gong Yue. President Qiu, I'm worried that President Wu might fall for this woman's charms." Qiu Wuli laughed and said, "Don't worry about that. Since Qin Yi has already given the order to stop..."

However, this batch of phones still needs to be secretly shipped to Africa. We can't let our own inventory be tied up, and we also need to give
domestic mobile phone manufacturers a way out. So, tell him to quickly contact Zhao Tianlong. He
knows exactly how to operate.

Wu Pingshi nodded. "You just told me not to pay attention to him and Gong Yue, but
I have some news to tell you in advance. Gong Yue is pregnant with Wu Mo's child. This is a bit
troublesome ."

Qiu Wuli was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter again, saying, "This is fate. Mr. Wu is
lucky. Heaven is helping him. Okay, that's settled. Like I said before, don't pay attention to them. Just
do your job of protecting them. Everything is under control." Chapter Nineteen: The Bitterness of Longing

After ending the call, Wu Pingshi couldn't understand Qiu Wuli's words. They already have a child. Isn't this
complicated? Would the Zhang sisters be willing? And Qin Feng, how could he just give up?

Wu Pingshi felt that an invisible net was being cast over Wu Mo. However, little did he know that this
was the most crucial part of Wu Mo and Qiu Wuli's plan, something Wu Pingshi couldn't understand.

Then, he got up and went to Wu Mo's door, knocking again.

Wu Mo had Gong Yue settled on the bed, but her torn shirt couldn't be buttoned up. He knew it was Wu
Pingshi knocking, so he walked over with his shirt open and opened the door.

Wu Pingshi looked at him with surprise at his exposed chest and said, "Zhao Tianlong called, wanting to
meet ." Wu Mo looked into Wu Pingshi's eyes, and Wu Pingshi glanced at him, then smiled.

Wu Mo understood; it must be Qiu Wuli calling him. He smiled and said, "Okay, ask him for the specific
time and place, I'll go in a bit."

Wu Pingshi understood Wu Mo's meaning, went directly into the room, and then
called .

Gong Yue smiled, watching Wu Mo and listening to the conversation between Wu Pingshi and Zhao Tianlong.

After Wu Pingshi dialed the number, Zhao Tianlong's voice came through: "Brother Wu, hello." Wu Pingshi said, "Didn't you
want to see General Manager Wu? Set a time and place."

Zhao Tianlong smiled and said, "It's three in the afternoon now. I'll pick you up in half an hour. I'll treat
you ."

Wu Pingshi glanced at Wu Mo, pretending to wait for his agreement. Wu Mo turned to look at Gong Yue, who smiled slightly. Wu Mo nodded back to Wu Pingshi, who said,
"Okay, we'll wait for you at the hotel."

After hanging up, Wu Mo said to Gong Yue, "Later I'll show you the mole I planted at Zhongyi. He
's the general manager of the African branch."

Gong Yue naturally understood his meaning and smiled, "That makes your explanation to me earlier reasonable
, doesn't it?"

Wu Pingshi felt uncomfortable with Gong Yue's sarcastic tone and said, "General Manager Gong, this is
our company's core secret."

Gong Yue ignored him, smiling as she looked at Wu Mo.

After finishing his call with Wu Pingshi, Zhao Tianlong smiled. He knew the information he had sent
had worked. Heh, this Jennie is quite clever; she resolved the
crisis . He'd have to keep a close eye on her from now on.

Thinking this, Zhao Tianlong picked up his phone and dialed Qin Feng's number. Qin Feng smiled and

said, "Master." "

I'm going to see Wu Mo in a bit. Did you give me any instructions?" Zhao Tianlong asked with a smile.

Qin Feng hesitated for a while on the phone before saying, "Tell him to find a way to bring me back as soon as possible.
I'm so annoyed by this constant hiding!" Zhao Tianlong said, "Okay, I'll talk to him in a bit. Also, do you know who's credited for

stopping this crisis ?" Qin Feng paused for a moment before asking, "Was it Teacher Qiu or Wu Mo?" Zhao Tianlong smiled and said, "Neither, it was Jennie." Then, he explained in detail how Jennie had given him the idea . Qin Feng chuckled on the phone, saying, "My African classmate is really something! I'm afraid she'll be a key player in our operations from now on." Zhao Tianlong chuckled again, "I'm thinking of taking her to meet Wu Mo. What do you think?" "No, absolutely not!" Qin Feng said decisively. "My classmate is a libertarian . If she sets her sights on someone, she'll do everything she can to get them. We can't let any more trouble arise." Zhao Tianlong understood that Qin Feng was taking precautions, but Jennie was already part of his harem; there was no way she'd get involved with him. After finishing his call with Zhao Tianlong, Qin Feng's longing for Wu Mo intensified. Wu Mo, you're in my territory, but you dare not meet me! Damn it, it's infuriating! But Wu Mo, do you know how much I miss you? I think about you day and night; I'm about to collapse! In her hotel room in Canberra, the capital of Australia, Qin Feng muttered to herself. She desperately wanted to call Wu Mo and pour out her longing, but she dared not. Qiu Wuli had warned her not to contact Wu Mo anytime soon . "Damn it, this is killing me!" Qin Feng cursed. The view of Canberra from the 108th floor was like looking down from an airplane; white clouds drifted across the blue sky, exuding tranquility and peace. Qin Feng held a glass of red wine, leaning gently against the floor-to- ceiling window , gazing at the foreign sky and city. Although it was beautiful, her mind drifted far away, towards Wu Mo, towards Gu Jiwang. She hated Qin Yi, this greedy woman she always called "Auntie." Just because of a key, she had been forced to live a life of hiding, unable to return home. Actually, she knew the key was fake . After arriving in Los Angeles and talking with her future mother-in-law, Gu Jiwang, Gu Jiwang told her that the real key was actually a code. Qin Feng was stunned. Gu Jiwang smiled and said, "Your father and I were classmates. Don't underestimate him; he was an outstanding student in school, very diligent and hardworking. To be honest, your father pursued me back then, but there was another person pursuing me at the same time, Bo Dongjin." After saying that, he hesitated for a moment before continuing, "When I was young , I was arrogant and didn't fancy your father. Of course, there was another reason: my father was a general, while your father was just a poor boy from the countryside who passed the imperial examination. Also, for political reasons, I ultimately chose to marry . But, I never expected that your father would be able to build such a large conglomerate. He's quite remarkable."

Gu Jiwang sighed and continued, "It's a pity. Your father had a severe inferiority complex, which led to
his stubborn and self-willed personality. Also, he made a very serious mistake—
he group, helping them launder 5 billion yuan. Of course, I only found out about this later."

Qin Feng listened quietly as Gu Jiwang recounted the past, feeling a warmth mixed with a sense of loss.

"Then what about this house?" Qin Feng asked, looking up.

Gu Jiwang said, "After you and Guagua started dating, I got in touch with your father. This was
the first contact in 20 years. Because you also have the surname Qin, do you remember when Guagua first introduced you to me, I asked
you? You told me your father's name was Qin Yifeng, remember?"

Qin Feng nodded.

"Back then, we didn't live in a house like this, right? We rented someone else's,
$ ," Gu Jiwang continued. "I secretly approached your father and told him that I was the mother of your daughter's boyfriend.
Your father was overjoyed, feeling as if it were destiny. Not long after, he flew to
Los Angeles to meet me." Gu Jiwang laughed.

Qin Feng remembered that this happened three years ago, but how come she saw her father and Gu Jiwang staying together that night
? They were classmates, not lovers.

Gu Jiwang smiled and said, "Your father was unhappy that I was renting a house and insisted on buying this
villa. He said he couldn't let his precious daughter suffer living in such a slum. I
divorced Bo Dongjin three years ago in Los Angeles. Because he was already in a high position at the time, he was afraid it would affect
his career , so he didn't make it public. One night, I had a deep talk with your father, and he
told me about how I laundered money for Qin Yi and his group. At that time, I scolded him for being so stupid, neglecting to run a
perfectly good company." Gu Jiwang paused here, and Qin Feng noticed tears in her eyes.

"Yes, although I rejected your father's love for me, as I've grown older, I've realized
that my attitude towards him back then was a bit too much." Gu Jiwang paused again before continuing, "
When your father came the second time, he told me the password, saying that he hoped I could
help . Then, he got a fake key and took it back with him. Alas, I never thought that day would actually come."

Hearing this, Qin Feng couldn't help but shed tears.

Gu Jiwang sighed again and said, "The matter here is very complicated, and
it can't be . Later, someone I grew up with in the same compound, who is now the Vice President of the country, secretly found me
and told me many inside stories. So, I told him about your father, who
had already been murdered in a car accident orchestrated by Qin Yi and his gang." She wiped her eyes and continued, "The Vice President told me
that the current political situation is very complicated and hoped I could help him. But how could I help him? For
the long-term stability and development of the country, I came up with some ideas. I won't tell you the specifics."

"After you go back this time, give that key to Qin Yi. She will definitely come to Los Angeles to pick it up. I will use this
opportunity to extort 5 billion from them. This is only the first step in my plan. In short, I not only want to
avenge your father, but also help the country root out these parasites!" As Gu Jiwang finished speaking, Qin Feng could hear the hatred in her tone
.

After reflecting on all this, Qin Feng suddenly felt an urge to call Gu Jiwang.
She had tried contacting her once before Gu Jiwang returned to China, but couldn't get through afterwards.

Now, she wanted to try again.

Unexpectedly, this time the call went through. What Qin Feng found even more unexpected was that Gu Jiwang was currently being "held captive" somewhere
in China .

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Auntie, hello."

Gu Jiwang's voice came through the phone: "Okay. I'm currently under investigation by the organization. I'll contact you again when there are
results ." Then the call was disconnected.

Qin Feng was stunned. Gu Jiwang was under investigation by the organization in China? What were they investigating? She could
n't understand it, and the more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. She then immediately called Qiu Wuli's cell phone.

At this moment, Qiu Wuli was at the Qiu Clan Metaphysics Hall taking care of Lü'e, whose belly was already quite large.

When Qiu Wuli answered the call, Qin Feng said, "Teacher, Gu Jiwang is under investigation." Qiu Wuli was silent for
a moment before saying, "I might have misjudged Gu Jiwang. Wu Pingshi told me everything that happened in Los Angeles.
I've also been paying close attention to the news about Bo Dongjin being placed under investigation these past few days. The news language didn't use any derogatory terms for Gu Jiwang,
so this means she's alright. You don't need to worry."

Qin Feng felt much better after hearing Qiu Wuli's words. "Teacher, how come Qin Yi and the others are alright? Bo
Dongjin knows a lot about them, so how come they're alright?"

Qiu Wuli smiled and said, "What goes around comes
around signify? What's hidden here? Think about it carefully. The country will get better and better,
and the ugliness in society will decrease. Don't rush back. I'll
call ."

Qin Feng felt warm inside listening to Qiu Wuli's gentle words, and she firmly believed in her.
So, she smiled and said, "Okay, teacher, your words have given me hope."

Qiu Wuli laughed heartily, "It's not that I gave you hope, but that our country, our
next government, has given you, and me, hope. Alright, that's all for now. I need to take care of Lü'e. Goodbye!"

After hanging up the call with Qin Feng, Qiu Wuli sat down next to Lü'e. Lü'e looked back at
Qiu Wuli with tender affection and whispered, "Teacher, I feel very happy."

Qiu Wuli laughed heartily, then fell silent. Lü'e asked again, "Teacher, are you thinking about something?"

"I was thinking about Wu Mo. He had a perfectly good family, but because of fighting those parasites,
he can't even take care of Sun Xiangning, who is about to give birth to her son. I feel so guilty!" Qiu Wuli replied.

Greenie silently stroked Qiu Wuli's hand for a long time before saying, "President Wu is a true man, just like you,
a good man. In this society, some people act for their own selfishness, some seek peace, and some
seek the well-being of others. The latter are the noblest!"

Hearing Greenie's words, Qiu Wuli felt as if the ripples on a river were nourishing his heart.

"Greenie, I have something I'd like to hear your opinion on," Qiu Wuli said softly after a long pause.

Green E looked at him quietly, waiting for him to continue.

Qiu Wuli remained silent for a long while before saying, "Wu Mo is currently trapped in a quagmire of emotions, and his marriage to Gong Yue
is inevitable. However, the Zhang sisters are his true lovers and family, while I, in order to
ensure , am forcing Wu Mo to marry Gong Yue. I don't know how to pull him out."

Green E listened, thought for a long time, and said softly, "People's marriages are preordained, just like you and me. A plan
is a plan, and marriage is marriage. If we can't be together, we'll eventually come back."

Hearing this, Qiu Wuli's heart suddenly opened, and he smiled, gently pulling Green E into his arms. Looking at the sunlight
outside and the lotus flowers blooming in the pond, his heart brightened.

After Qiu Wuli hung up the phone, Qin Feng thought to himself, "Green E? Which Green E? Why has Wu
Mo ?"

While she was on the phone with Gu Jiwang and Qiu Wuli, Zhao Tianlong had already driven to the hotel where Wu Mo was staying
. After parking, he called Wu Pingshi to say he had arrived and asked Mr. Wu to come down.

Wu Pingshi told Wu Mo, "He's here and waiting for us downstairs." Wu Mo looked at Gong Yue and laughed,
"Am I supposed to just go down like this? All the buttons on this shirt have popped off."

Gong Yue giggled, then got up and took a brand new shirt from her suitcase for him. Wu Mo stared
at her in surprise. Gong Yue smiled and said, "I prepared this for you a long time ago. Put it on."

Wu Mo felt a surge of emotion again and silently took the shirt. He glanced at the price tag: a genuine
American Playboy shirt, $1,000. He secretly calculated that the shirt cost
more than 6,000 RMB. Although he was so wealthy, he had never worn such an expensive shirt before.

After putting on the shirt, Gong Yue smiled and said, "It fits perfectly, and you look much more handsome." Wu Mo asked, "How did you
know my size?"

Gong Yue chuckled and said, "I saw your size last time and remembered it."

Wu Pingshi watched this scene, and he could no longer tell whether the relationship between Wu Mo and Gong Yue was one of exploitation
or love. Although Qiu Wuli had explained Wu Mo's reasons for doing this on the phone, he
couldn't help but be surprised by Gong Yue's attitude towards Wu Mo.

The three of them came downstairs, and Wu Mo immediately saw Zhao Tianlong sitting on the sofa in the lobby. When Zhao Tianlong
saw Wu Mo come down, he also saw Gong Yue beside him. Without hesitation, he walked up and shook hands with Wu Mo.

Zhao Tianlong smiled and said, "Finally, I've met President Wu."

Wu Mo shook his hand firmly and shook it, then let go and turned to look at Gong Yue, saying, "This is Zhao Tianlong
. Tianlong, this is Gong Yue, the chairman of Huamei International Trade Group, and the daughter of Vice Governor Qin."

Zhao Tianlong extended his hand again, indicating that he wanted to shake hands with Gong Yue. However, Gong Yue didn't extend her hand to shake his.
She simply smiled and nodded, which was her greeting.

Zhao Tianlong thought to himself that this woman was quite arrogant, but he smiled and said, "Welcome, Ms. Gong."
In his heart, he thought, "If it weren't for Mr. Wu's sake, I wouldn't even acknowledge you. "

Gong Yue smiled and said, "I've heard Mr. Wu mention your name before. At first glance, you really are a formidable leader.
It's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Not at all, Ms. Gong, you flatter me! This way, please!" Zhao Tianlong said, turning and gesturing to the door
. The doorman standing at the hotel entrance had already opened the car door.

Half an hour later, Zhao Tianlong led Wu Mo, Gong Yue, and Wu Pingshi to a luxurious bar and found
a private room. After sitting down on the sofa, Zhao Tianlong smiled and said, "Let's talk business here now. I'll invite
you all to dinner tonight. Would Ms. Gong be willing?"

Gong Yue smiled and nodded, saying, "I'll do whatever Mr. Zhao says."

Wu Mo found the bar's environment quite nice, with elegant and relaxing soft music, creating a quiet atmosphere. Gong Yue sat
next to Wu Mo, her slightly protruding belly visible to Zhao Tianlong; she was pregnant. Since she was so
close to President Wu, the child in her belly must be his.

"President Wu, didn't you say you were going to send a batch of low-priced mobile phones to Africa? I've been waiting for them."
Zhao Tianlong, though seemingly rough, was actually quite perceptive. He used this as an opening, partly because Gong Yue
was present .

Wu Mo appreciated Zhao Tianlong's question and felt that his old subordinate was becoming increasingly mature. He smiled and said,
"Have you considered why I haven't shipped the goods yet?"
