Chapter 53

Mou Tianbo is already fifty-eight years old. When he finally had his precious daughter in his late thirties, his career was already flourishing. Therefore, Mou Chenfei could be said to have been born and raised with a silver spoon in her mouth, never having experienced any hardship. Mou Tianbo was determined to instill the noble family's demeanor in his daughter, breaking the notion that it takes two or three generations to form an aristocratic aura. This way, even if the Mou family had a son-in-law in the future, he would merely be a part of the Mou family.

The most得意thing for him was to give his daughter responsibilities at such a young age. With their family's resources, what kind of education or professor could they not get? Letting his daughter start from practical work, he had her begin part-time work in the company before she even graduated from private high school, experiencing the business world's cutthroat competition and intrigue early on, which was far more effective than dragging through university.

Having her follow renowned economists at two prestigious universities to learn real skills was enough; why waste time at school every day? As for studying abroad, Mou Tianbo knew it was nonsense, akin to sending someone out to gamble on their character. He, Mou Tianbo, never did anything without a sure thing!

Most importantly, he was very clear that no matter which university or country his daughter went to, she would become a target for those wolf-like boys. If his daughter's heart was deceived, it wouldn't be easy for a father to pull her back!

This was the most critical thing to guard against.

So, regarding this incident, he first apologized to his daughter: "It was my fault for not being thorough and not guarding against Liu Yongcheng's desperate actions. I will strengthen your protection in the future to ensure this doesn't happen again."

Mou Chenfei pouted in a spoiled manner: "I've already told you what happened. It's over now. I'll rest for a couple of days, and Mom will take me to Tokyo to buy some things and relax, okay?"

Mou Tianbo immediately agreed: "Sure! Let's go to Europe. Your mother said there's a fashion show with all the major brands."

Mou Chenfei, being pampered, said: "Too far, the journey is tiring..."

Seeing his daughter about to fall asleep, Mou Tianbo hurriedly said: "While you still remember, tell me the details of what happened. Was that young man really just someone you randomly asked to drive, not someone arranged by Liu Yongcheng? Wasn't he the one who directed you to go to that car wash?"

Mou Chenfei pouted: "How could they be in cahoots? I thought about it. It was probably a deliberate act to splash water on me, making me take that route. But I really felt too dirty and didn't want to drive, so I asked... him to drive me. As soon as I got in the car, he was... stabbed in the leg, and there was a lot of blood! At first, I thought he was dead." She still referred to the man she had known for years as Uncle Cheng, but the mention of his death still made her heart tighten.

Mou Tianbo inquired: "What's the young man's name?"

Mou Chenfei pursed her lips disdainfully: "I told him my name... but he thought I was... " She unconsciously lowered her voice to a whisper: "He works at the car wash, maybe he studied medicine? But I didn't see him treat his own wound."

Mou Tianbo, suspicious: "It could have been a fake act to gain your trust."

Mou Chenfei patted her delicate chest: "How could that be! I saw him get stabbed... and he killed them so quickly, like this, this, this..." She made a few gestures in the air, her freshly painted nails gleaming. Her eyes lingered on her fingers, admiring them, and she didn't pull her hand back, turning it over to look at it from the other side.

Mou Tianbo, serious: "Did you see Liu Yongcheng's body?"

Mou Chenfei, about to vomit: "No... but the others saw it. Don't talk about it... it's so disgusting. He even made me wear the dead man's clothes!" She often used "he" to refer to the young man.

Mou Tianbo quickly changed the subject: "Do you remember which island it was, any specific features, or from which direction you went? I'll have people check it out."

Mou Chenfei rolled her eyes, but her expression remained beautiful: "How could I remember? There were so many small islands. I want to forget all this! When we went there, I was in the trunk the whole time, and on the way back, he was driving. I was too scared to look outside."

Mou Tianbo felt this attitude was correct for his daughter and reached out to smooth her velvet blanket: "Yes, yes, forget it... rest and recover for a few days. Does the wound still hurt?" He was genuinely concerned, seeing the tightly wrapped bandages around her neck and the immobilization collar, which made it look like a severe injury, though it was just a small cut.

Mou Chenfei pouted, feeling wronged: "There's a scar... I want to get a skin resurfacing treatment..." In fact, the first thing the doctor did after cleaning her wound was to show her a mirror. Although the doctor said the technique was excellent, the wound was small, and the follow-up care was top-notch, leaving at most a one-centimeter-long red line, Mou Chenfei was still annoyed. If it weren't for the fact that her neck was part of her body, she would have wanted to replace it!

Mou Tianbo, unfamiliar with cosmetic surgery, nodded vigorously: "The best doctors and technology! I'll bring them in from South Korea. They'll definitely remove it."

Mou Chenfei pouted and nodded, snuggling into the blanket and closing her eyes. Mou Tianbo, seeing that his daughter's mood was not negative, carefully turned to leave. Just as his hand touched the doorknob, a soft voice came from behind: "Dad... give him the reward? Thank him, it was really scary. Don't turn off the light."

Mou Tianbo, feeling a rare pang of emotion, turned back with a fatherly smile: "I've already given it to him. Don't worry, rest well."

As soon as he stepped out, his face turned serious. He walked down to the villa's ground floor and instructed the secretaries standing there: "First, investigate all social connections related to Liu Yongcheng. I want to know where these six helpers came from and their families... I want their families to be destroyed. Don't think that just because the culprits are gone, everything is over. Their families will go to jail. Investigate everyone associated with Liu Yongcheng. How dare they have an insider in my home! Plan a flawless operation. I want to see how these bastards are dealt with! Each and every one of them must be destroyed!"

A secretary quickly noted it down. Mou Tianbo gave the second instruction: "Investigate the background of the young man from the car wash. Check all his family and social connections, especially any connection to Liu Yongcheng! Investigate the car wash thoroughly." This was a severe overreach, but for a young man who had killed seven people and remained calm, Mou Tianbo could not be cautious enough. The higher one's position or wealth, the more one must stay away from these reckless people. Sometimes, no amount of money can prevent a sudden act of violence. Mou Tianbo understood this very well.

"Third, immediately send a team to Fuyong Lake. Buy a few boats and search every island in the lake. It doesn't matter how many years it takes. Find a small cement house, about seven to eight square meters, with mineral water and instant noodles inside, and a handmade treehouse outside. Once found, bring in construction equipment and dig up every inch of the place. I want to see the person alive or dead!"

"Hmph! Daring to take advantage of me, Mou Tianbo! I see these bastards are tired of living!"

The boss of several large groups, Mou Tianbo, was very angry.

The consequences... well, Bark doesn't care how severe they are.
