Chapter 544: Chapter 417: The Provocation of Zhongzhou鈥檚 Young Master Liu Chapter 544 -417: The Provocation of Zhongzhou鈥檚 Young Master Liu 鈥淐hu鈥檚 methods are remarkable, managing to make a grandmaster like Jiang, who values reputation more than life, turn against him.
Chu has quite the strategy indeed.
But Chu can rest assured, I, Liu Peng, am a man of my word, on my honor.
If I care about face, I accept the wager and the loss.
I鈥檒l invite Charles Robert myself, but as to whether he will agree, I can only say I鈥檒l do my best.
Also, the twelve female bodyguards I promised you, along with a top coach, will be at Chu鈥檚 disposal from now on.鈥
The underground boxing championship came to an end with Grandmaster Jiang Dingnan voluntarily forfeiting, allowing Fan Gao to triumphantly claim the final victory.
At the same time, Chu Mo finally saw the outcome he had been hoping for.
...
Family Head Liu Peng of the Liu family in Zhongzhou was not one to break promises.
Chu Mo, seeing this short and portly older man again, pondered for a moment and then spoke with utmost seriousness,
鈥淢r.
Liu, although I used some tactics in this match, your methods were not exactly honorable either.
We鈥檙e even, I would say.
As for inviting Charles, the extent of effort you exert, Mr.
潡堭潣凁潟橉潣?co
Liu, is unknown to me, but I can offer you reassurance.
If you help me get Charles Robert to join the Longevity Club, I guarantee that you will become the most honored member of our club.
Moreover, any research results from our club, Mr.
Liu will be among the first to benefit from them.
Furthermore, since you fancy that Alabama horse, I鈥檒l arrange for it to be delivered to you after I return.
As the saying goes, 鈥楢 fine steed for a hero.鈥 If Mr.
Liu likes it, feel free to take it!鈥
With those words, Chu Mo did not linger a moment longer, bid his farewell, and turned to leave.
Different from his arrival, where he was accompanied by only Fan Gao and Jiang Tao, his return was flanked by twelve top female bodyguards in cheongsam and a cold, efficient female head coach.
Jiang Dingnan had already left earlier.
Chu Mo had agreed with him that once he returned to Modu, Jiang鈥檚 granddaughter could seek him out.
Chu Mo was a man of his word; he had previously promised Jiang Dingnan to offer a spokesperson role to the Jiang family, and he certainly wouldn鈥檛 go back on his promise.
Liu Manli had also departed.
This wealthiest woman in Hua Country had been too conspicuous in the earlier competition.
She was to meet Chu Mo later in Modu, and the two were likely to reach a series of cooperation agreements to counter the oppression of the eight great families.
After the white BMW left Pastoral Manor and made its way toward Zhongzhou City, Chu Mo didn鈥檛 plan on lingering in Zhongzhou any longer.
After all, this was Liu鈥檚 turf, not his home ground.
If something unexpected happened, his influence wouldn鈥檛 be as effective.
His private Boeing was standing by at Zhongzhou City鈥檚 international airport, Chu Mo planned to take his jet overnight back to Modu.
Only back in Modu could he fully relax.
The Liu family arranged five cars for Chu Mo and his company, including Chu Mo, Fan Gao, and Jiang Tao芒鈧€漷hree people in total芒鈧€漚nd then the twelve bodyguards and the coach芒鈧€漷hirteen people in total芒鈧€漨aking sixteen people altogether.
Taking advantage of the night, the convoy sped along the road between Pastoral Manor and Zhongzhou City.
Chu Mo sat in the back seat of the BMW, with Jiang Tao driving and Fan Gao, pale-faced, sitting in the passenger seat.
Fan Gao was injured and would have been best off seeking medical attention immediately, but given the unique situation and being in Zhongzhou, which was the Liu family鈥檚 stronghold and not Modu, to avoid complications, Fan Gao endured his injuries until they could return to Modu for treatment.
Seeing Fan Gao breathing somewhat heavily, Chu Mo said with concern,
鈥淔an Gao, if you really can鈥檛 hold on, you can go to the hospital.
We can stay in Zhongzhou City for the night and leave tomorrow morning.鈥
Despite his extreme pallor, Fan Gao decisively shook his head and said hoarsely,
鈥淢r.
Chu, the Liu family in Zhongzhou is notoriously hypocritical, especially Family Head Liu Peng, whose reputation in the upper circles has always been poor.
And with the recent boxing championship causing Liu Peng to lose face, nobody can ensure that he won鈥檛 hold a grudge.
This isn鈥檛 our home ground, and if the Liu family plays foul, our influence in Modu will be of no use.
I鈥檓 aware of my injuries; they鈥檙e not serious.
I will recover after a few days of rest at home in Modu!鈥
Sitting in the back seat of the BMW, Chu Mo nodded slightly.
He knew this wasn鈥檛 the time for affectation, so even though he was aware that Fan Gao鈥檚 injuries were serious, he refrained from speaking further.
Pastoral Manor was located in a rather secluded area, nestled among several large mountains.
The roads here didn鈥檛 see much traffic, especially at night.
Apart from Chu Mo鈥檚 convoy, there were hardly any other vehicles on the entire road.
The journey was unobstructed, and around 10:20 p.m., the convoy finally entered the outer ring of Zhongzhou City, passed through the city center, and in another ten minutes, they would arrive at Zhongzhou International Airport.
Just then, a series of urgent and noisy horn blasts suddenly filled the air.
Before Chu Mo could ask, Jiang Tao spoke from the driver鈥檚 seat in a grave voice:
鈥淢r.
Chu, we have a situation!鈥
Chu Mo turned his gaze outside the car, and through the window, he saw that around the BMW, at least a dozen luxury sports cars were relentlessly honking their horns and continually trying to force his convoy to a stop.
鈥淢r.
Chu, shall we force our way through?鈥
Jiang Tao鈥檚 steady voice came through, but Chu Mo took a deep breath and then shook his head:
鈥淭his is the center of Zhongzhou City.
I鈥檇 like to see if the Liu family really has the guts to touch me, stop the car!鈥
Following the instruction, the BMW slowly pulled over to stop, and the several cars behind it also stopped.
At this moment, the dozen or so supercars had already completely blocked the surrounding area.
At the same time, the offspring of the rich and powerful climbed out of their supercars one after another, and Chu Mo鈥檚 gaze in the back seat quickly locked onto a fat man with a large face and big ears.
It was Liu Mingfei of the Liu family of Zhongzhou.
Chu Mo had met him once before at a banquet hosted by the Long family in Xiangjiang and had an unpleasant confrontation with him due to the actress Deng Yun鈥檈r.
At the time, Liu Mingfei had tried to use the head of the Lin family from Modu, Lin Youzhi, to pressure Chu Mo.
Although Chu Mo had managed to resolve the situation, the Lin family had ultimately sided with Liu Mingfei.
The moment Chu Mo saw Liu Mingfei, his previously suppressed heart relaxed slightly.
If it had been Liu Peng, the head of the Liu family, coming to cause trouble, Chu Mo feared he would really have trouble getting through this, for the Liu family had run Zhongzhou City like a well-oiled machine, and he had no influence here whatsoever.
If Liu Peng took action, it would surely be a killing blow, without giving Chu Mo any chance to fight back.
The appearance of Liu Mingfei, the young master, indicated that Liu Peng was not informed of this, and these actions were solely the independent actions of the young master of the Liu family.
Liu Mingfei, known as the Crown Prince of Zhongzhou, was one of the potential successors of the Liu family, surrounded by countless followers.
But in Chu Mo鈥檚 eyes, he wasn鈥檛 worth a second glance.
Chu Mo gestured slightly, and Jiang Tao got out of the car.
Then, he opened the door for Chu Mo.
As soon as Chu Mo, his feet in leather shoes, stepped out of the car, he saw Liu Mingfei鈥檚 resentful eyes staring intently at him.
