Mo Ting actually had some idea about the people who had schemed against him. It was just that the tracks they left behind were too clean so he couldn’t find any clues.
However, it didn’t matter. Mo Ting had used up most of his patience and no longer wanted to beat around the bush with these people, so he thought, why not find some other excuse?
Chi Xiao looked at Mo Ting sitting in front of the window and looking outside with a little loneliness. She felt a little uncomfortable. Before she moved, she went up to touch Mo Ting’s head and asked, “What’s wrong? You look a little unhappy.”
Mo Ting patted Chi Xiao’s other hand on his shoulder and said in a low voice, “The weather is going to change.”
Chi Xiao paused for a moment and almost instantly understood what Mo Ting meant. She asked, “Are you ready to make a move? Will making a move now affect the relationship within your family?”
Upon hearing Chi Xiao’s words, Mo Ting was stunned for a moment. Then, he laughed and said, “It won’t. Does our family even have any relationship in the first place?”
Chi Xiao thought for a moment and agreed. “Indeed. Look at our Chi family. There are only four of us. In the end, we’re still always scheming. We’re so tired every day.”
Mo Ting paused and nodded with difficulty. “You’re right. That makes sense.”
Hence, they started an internal investigation within the Mo family. Many of Mo Ting’s uncles realized that their situation wasn’t good. Some of them could have negotiated to cooperate, but the higher-ups suddenly refused to approve it. They were so angry that the uncles all came to the Mo family’s old residence, and one by one, they came to the Mo family’s house to demand an explanation from the Mo family.
“What are Mo Ting’s intentions?”
“That’s right. We are his elders after all. Is this how he treats his elders?”
“Do you think that since Mo Ting is going to die soon, he is paving the way for his son?”
“It can’t be. How old is his son? What can he do?”
The uncles were talking to one another at the door of Mo Ting’s room. However, when they saw Mo Ting’s wheelchair, they suddenly stopped talking.
Mo Ting leaned against the wheelchair with his last breath. He looked at these people with half-closed eyes. Before he spoke, he coughed first. After a while, he coughed up blood. The light in the room was very dim, so no one could see Mo Ting’s expression clearly.
Mo Ting’s expression was probably better, but he still did not speak.
In the end, it was a distant uncle of Mo Ting’s who could not hold it in and said, “Young Ting, what are you trying to do? Why is our cooperation not approved?”
Seeing that someone had stood up, the others also did not speak.
Mo Ting raised his head. Half of his face was hidden in the darkness. Even though his body was weak, the aura around him still made his uncles somewhat fearful.
After a long while, the one who had just spoken spoke again, “Young Ting, no matter what, I’ve watched you grow up. You can’t do this.”
Mo Ting’s fingers moved. “Oh?”
The tone of his voice, with ambiguous meaning, made people feel even more at a loss.
The air gradually became oppressive. Suddenly, Mo Ting said, “This is just an internal self-investigation. Don’t worry.”
Hearing Mo Ting’s words, the uncles became even more worried. They all looked at Mo Ting, as if they were afraid that Mo Ting would ask them to pack up and go home.
The uncles looked at one another and saw traces of ruthlessness in one another’s eyes.
“Uncles, you’ve worked hard for the Mo family for so many years. Naturally, I won’t mistreat you,” Mo Ting said as he took out a laptop from the table behind him and showed the powerpoint interface to the uncles.
“There will be a more perfect mechanism in the future. Those who are capable will work harder, and those who work harder will get more benefits. I definitely won’t let all of you only contribute and not get any benefits.”
The few of them looked at one another. After all these years of hard work, those who were conscientious all heaved a sigh of relief. On the contrary, those who occupied their seats and did not do anything had ugly expressions on their faces.
“About this… Young Ting, aren’t we doing fine the way we used to be?” One of them rubbed his hands and seemed to be in a difficult position.
Mo Ting sighed and coughed again. “The times are improving. We can’t always keep things the way they are.”
The uncles watched Mo Ting cough until his internal organs seemed about to be coughed out. Seeing that the situation was over and the order that Mo Ting wanted to push forward had become a foregone conclusion and could not be changed, most of them had sullen faces and asked to leave.
“Don’t you think Mo Ting is getting more and more outrageous?”
“Yeah, what do you think we’re after?”
“Looks like we can’t keep going like this. We have to do something.”
The few of them left in twos and threes. However, before they left, they all looked at Mo Ting’s room as if they had been poisoned.
A fat middle-aged man with big ears and an extremely ugly expression just now sneaked back after everyone left. He knocked on the door and entered Mo Ting’s room again.
“Sixth Uncle, you acted well just now.” Mo Ting did not turn his head.
The middle-aged man who was called Sixth Uncle was Mo Ting’s cousin uncle, Mo Hao. Their relationship was already weak, but he had grown up together with Mo Jun since young, so their relationship could be considered quite deep. When Mo Ting had just entered the Mo family’s company, he had also contributed quite a bit, and could be considered as the only person that Mo Ting trusted among the Mo family’s uncles..
