Chapter 60

"Meijing, don't be angry. I really have an emergency tonight; otherwise, I wouldn't have canceled our date," Mo Zhitao felt Yu Meijing's anger and said, "How about this? To show my apology, I'll allow you to go shopping with other men tonight. Is that okay? Don't be angry with me."

"No, I'm very, very, very angry," Yu Meijing said through gritted teeth. "And what does it have to do with you if I go shopping with other men?"

Mo Zhitao said with a pained expression, "Meijing, I'm wrong. How can I make it up to you? What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."

"I want the traditional egg tarts from Qingmei City. Don't buy those brands from Macheng District. If you don't deliver them to me by 12 o'clock, I won't forgive you," Yu Meijing said with a sinister tone.

It was already past ten o'clock, and there were no buses to Qingmei City. Mo Zhitao had no way to buy them.

"Alright." Mo Zhitao hung up the phone and said to Li Bin, "Li Bin, go back to the supermarket in the city center, where I was just picked up. I need to buy the traditional egg tarts."

He had bought them there before and knew it was still open.

After Mo Zhitao bought the egg tarts, he asked Li Bin to drive back to Macheng District quickly. Earlier, he had intentionally called Yu Meijing from the house phone, and she said she was shopping with her boyfriend. Hehe, women are so cute when they're angry. She was at home talking to him on the phone but said she was shopping with her boyfriend, which was quite amusing. However, Mo Zhitao wouldn't expose her to avoid making her even angrier.

"Li Bin, as long as we get back by 12 o'clock, don't drive too fast," Mo Zhitao said, still haunted by the memory of the car accident that killed Wang Mengxin when he was driving from Qingmei City to Macheng District.

"Boss, don't worry. My driving skills are top-notch. It's nighttime, and there are few cars on the road. No problem," Li Bin said with a smile.

He felt that following Mo Zhitao was the right choice. Although Mo Zhitao wasn't very wealthy, he was sincere and always shared his earnings with them.

"En, I treated Wang Zhongqiao's illness tonight. I didn't expect the person seeking help on the medical list to be him," Mo Zhitao said with a smile.

"After my investigation, Wang Zhongqiao's background isn't clean. He used to have partners, and it's said that he killed them to take over their shares and fully control the company, eventually renaming it the Wang Family Group," Li Bin said.

"His former partners were his close brothers. If the rumors are true, he has a very dark heart," Mo Zhitao said in surprise.

"I didn't expect Wang Zhongqiao to have such a dark side despite his seemingly kind appearance," Mo Zhitao said.

"Boss, in the past few days, I've been hanging around in Qingmei City and heard many stories about the groups you mentioned, like the Longcheng Group. Some say Cheng Hai deliberately killed his nephew Cheng Zhifeng to seize the family property," Li Bin said casually.

"What?" Mo Zhitao shouted, "Li Bin, why didn't you tell me about this? What have you been doing in the city?"

Li Bin didn't expect such a strong reaction from Mo Zhitao and quickly said, "Boss, I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just rumors with no evidence. There are several versions of Cheng Zhifeng's death: some say he died naturally, some say Cheng Hai killed him, some say the Wang family didn't want the marriage and did it, some say Luo Dakan did it to get Wang Mengxin, and some say Cheng Zhifeng died in a car while fooling around with a woman. I'm sorting through the information and will send it to you in a few days. But apart from the official statement of natural death, there's no evidence for the other rumors."

Mo Zhitao realized he had overreacted and said apologetically, "Li Bin, I'm sorry, I was impulsive. I knew Cheng Zhifeng, and I suspected his death wasn't simple, so I asked you to investigate. I didn't mean to blame you."

Damn, no wonder it's a rumor. Some even said he was fooling around with a woman in a car, and he was still a virgin.

"Boss, it's my fault," Li Bin said.

"I have another reason for you to hang around in Qingmei City. Shen Hua and I started a pharmaceutical factory, and we expect it to grow into a pharmaceutical company, which will involve the interests of other pharmaceutical companies. The Cheng, Wang, and Luo families all made their fortunes from pharmaceutical companies. If we understand them, it will be easier to deal with them if they try to strike against us," Mo Zhitao said.

"Yes, Boss. Once our comrades arrive, our work will be easier," Li Bin said.

Currently, they were each responsible for a different area, and it wasn't easy to integrate into the local underworld. Some gangs had already noticed them and extended offers. If they didn't join, they would face attacks.

Mo Zhitao said, "I'll have a sparring match with you when I have time."

"Great," Li Bin said excitedly, having noticed Mo Zhitao's excellent skills when he knocked down Hu Shaohua with one move.

When Mo Zhitao returned home, he called out as soon as he entered, "Meijing, Meijing, are you back?"

Yu Meijing was in her room on the internet. Hearing Mo Zhitao's call, she walked to the second-floor railing and looked down at him.

"Mo Zhitao, you finally came back? I just got back from shopping with my boyfriend. Where are my traditional egg tarts? Didn't you buy them for me?" Yu Meijing said with a smug smile.

Hearing Yu Meijing's voice, Mo Zhitao looked up and his eyes widened. Yu Meijing was wearing a nightgown, and from his angle, he could see her black lingerie. The dark landscape made Mo Zhitao stare in a daze.

"Mo Zhitao, I'm calling you, why aren't you answering?" Yu Meijing glared at him angrily.

"Huh, what are you looking at? What's so interesting?"

"Interesting, very interesting," Mo Zhitao said absentmindedly.

Yu Meijing, angry, twisted her foot, and the black lingerie moved with it. If this scene wasn't beautiful, what else in the world could be?

"Ah, Mo Zhitao, you pervert," Yu Meijing finally realized the problem and quickly covered her dress with her hands and tightly clamped her legs together. "I'm angry, I'll never forgive you."

Mo Zhitao deliberately said with a pained expression, "Meijing, how can you treat me like this? What did I do wrong?"

"Hmph, you still ask. Why did you peek at me just now?" Yu Meijing scolded.

"Where did I peek at you? I was talking to you, what did I peek at?" Mo Zhitao said.

It wasn't like he intentionally looked; she just happened to be in his line of sight. Was it his fault? If a beautiful woman ran naked in front of him, would he be called a pervert? If so, yesterday, a homeless man walked naked past the hospital, and how many female doctors and nurses would be called perverts?

"You, you..." Yu Meijing couldn't argue with Mo Zhitao, who hadn't been careful. She quickly stepped back, "Where are my traditional egg tarts?"

Mo Zhitao smiled, "Come down, I'll give them to you."

"Hmph, bring them up," Yu Meijing knew Mo Zhitao's intentions; he wanted to see her walk down the stairs in her dress. Mo Zhitao nodded and went upstairs with the egg tarts. Yu Meijing took them and said, "You didn't bring the ones from Macheng District, did you?"

"Of course not. I would never joke with a girl I like," Mo Zhitao shook his head vigorously.

Yu Meijing, half-believing, half-doubting, opened the package. When she saw "traditional" written on the bag, she was stunned. She had eaten traditional egg tarts before, and the bag was correct. She took one and ate it. It was indeed from the traditional shop.

"Did you go to Qingmei City to buy them?"

"Yes, to make you happy, I took a taxi there. The whole trip made my heart race," Mo Zhitao said to win her favor.

Hearing that Mo Zhitao had taken a taxi to Qingmei City just for her, Yu Meijing stopped being angry.

"If you flirt with other girls again, I won't forgive you."

"Heaven and earth, I didn't flirt with anyone. I really had something important to do. If I were to flirt, it would be with you. I've never seen a girl as beautiful as you," Mo Zhitao said insincerely.

Actually, he had seen Wang Mengxin, He Shiyu, Yang Liumei, and Long Yujiao, who were all top-notch beauties, not inferior to Yu Meijing.

Yu Meijing gave Mo Zhitao a playful glare and said, "Not true, you're just trying to make me happy."

"Really, if you don't believe me, I'll swear. If I lie, may I be struck by lightning," Mo Zhitao shouted.

"Crack, boom!"

Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded, followed by a heavy rain.

Oh, it seems one shouldn't make such vows lightly. Mo Zhitao looked out the window guiltily, thankful he was inside, or he would have been in trouble.

"Alright, don't swear, I'll forgive you for now," Yu Meijing said, smiling and eating the egg tarts.

"For now?" Mo Zhitao felt that women were truly extraordinary creatures. "Meijing, I'm so excellent, especially tonight. Aren't you moved to be my girlfriend?"

Yu Meijing gave Mo Zhitao a playful glare, "Dream on. With your current state, you want to be my boyfriend? Wait until you have a house like this."

"Really?" Mo Zhitao was excited, thinking about whether to reveal his wealth and power to win her over. But would a relationship bought with money be reliable? Mo Zhitao hesitated.

After eating some egg tarts and drinking some water, Yu Meijing felt her stomach was a bit bloated and wanted to go to the bathroom.
