Seeing the figure who suddenly burst in, Ouyang Zhengde's brows furrowed slightly, showing displeasure.
"Xiao Tian, what's with the panic? What kind of behavior is this!" Ouyang Yi reprimanded.
The young man who had suddenly barged in was precisely Ouyang Xiao Tian.
Ouyang Xiao Tian, with a panicked expression, pointed outside the door: "Patriarch, cousin, no, it's not good!"
"What's going on?" Ouyang Zhengde asked coldly.
They had been discussing something pleasant, and Ouyang Xiao Tian's interruption caused their expressions to gradually darken.
"That, that Chen Mo is here!" Ouyang Xiao Tian said in a hurry.
"What did you say?! Chen Mo is here?" Ouyang Zhengde stood up abruptly.
Ouyang Yi also stood up in surprise and asked doubtfully, "What is he doing here at our Ouyang family?"
Ouyang Xiao Tian asked nervously, "Cousin, do you think he's here to cause trouble for us?"
Recalling last night's events, Ouyang Yi shook his head: "He already humiliated us yesterday, it shouldn't be about last night."
Ouyang Zhengde frowned: "No matter why he's here, remember, don't panic, and don't let him see any clues."
"Yes, Grandfather!" Ouyang Yi responded.
"Let's go, let's go out to meet him. I want to see what business he has here at our Ouyang family." With that, Ouyang Zhengde led the way out of the meeting hall.
Upon arriving outside and seeing Chen Mo's figure, Ouyang Zhengde quickly went to greet him.
"My, my, why didn't our master inform us in advance of his arrival, so we could have welcomed him with our entire family."
He then glared at the young men at the door: "And you beasts, the master has arrived, and you don't even invite him in to sit?"
"It was I who refused to come in," Chen Mo said at this moment.
"Oh? Master, what is it?" Ouyang Zhengde looked at Chen Mo doubtfully.
Chen Mo pointed to the van behind him: "I've brought some things for Patriarch Ouyang today."
"Master is too kind. As the master, how can you give us things? This truly humbles Zhengde." Ouyang Zhengde maintained a very low posture.
"It's nothing. Open it and take a look, perhaps you'll like it very much," Chen Mo said indifferently.
Ouyang Zhengde smiled and gave Ouyang Xiao Tian a look.
Ouyang Xiao Tian stepped forward and opened the back of the van.
With a creak.
The scene inside the van was immediately revealed to everyone.
At the same time, a strong smell of blood made Ouyang Xiao Tian involuntarily step back a few paces, gagging.
Ouyang Zhengde's brow furrowed tightly.
As for Ouyang Yi, upon clearly seeing several familiar faces inside, his expression instantly turned grim.
"Master, what do you mean by this?" Ouyang Zhengde couldn't help but ask.
Chen Mo pointed to the people in the van: "These are the assassins who were sent to assassinate me."
"What?! Who are these people? How dare they!" Ouyang Zhengde feigned surprise.
He then quickly explained: "Master, I can swear, these people have absolutely no connection to the Ouyang family. You don't suspect us, do you?"
Chen Mo shook his head: "I don't suspect Patriarch Ouyang. I have already investigated the identities of these people."
"Oh? Who are they?" Ouyang Zhengde, naturally unaware of their identities, asked doubtfully.
"The Sun family of Chenghai, the Li family, and some other aristocratic families."
Ouyang Zhengde's expression froze, and he quickly looked at Ouyang Yi beside him.
However, when Ouyang Zhengde saw Ouyang Yi's unpleasant expression, he knew that Chen Mo was right, and these people were indeed from those aristocratic families.
Since Ouyang Yi was the one who leaked the information, he had met most of these people.
"Master, how do you plan to deal with them?" Ouyang Zhengde asked.
Chen Mo pondered for a moment: "I'm not sure either, so I plan to hand them over to you for handling."
"Hand them over to us?" Ouyang Zhengde was completely bewildered.
If those aristocratic families wanted to find out who leaked the information, they would definitely trace it back to the Ouyang family. Now, handing the people over to them for handling was like openly telling those families that the Ouyang family was playing them for fools. Wouldn't that put them in the line of fire?
"Master, these are people you captured. Are you sure you can entrust them to us?" Ouyang Zhengde asked with a grim expression.
Chen Mo, however, smiled: "Of course, I'm sure. Otherwise, why would I come to you?"
Ouyang Zhengde's face twitched uncontrollably. These were hot potatoes, and he really didn't dare to take them. Ouyang Zhengde was also frustrated; couldn't these aristocratic families send some experts? They only sent some minor characters, wasn't this just sending them to their deaths?
Seeing Ouyang Zhengde's expression, Chen Mo's lips curved into an arc: "Do you think selling them back to their own families is a good idea?"
"Sell them back?" Ouyang Zhengde looked peculiar.
However, after thinking about it, selling them back was much better than killing them. If these people died at the hands of the Ouyang family, the Ouyang family would truly be unable to get along with other aristocratic families in the future.
"Yes, this method is definitely feasible. They will surely be happy, and you can also earn some money," Ouyang Zhengde quickly agreed.
Chen Mo smiled: "Since you also think it's feasible, then fine, I'll sell them to you first, and then you can sell them to them."
"Ah? Sell, sell them to us?" Ouyang Zhengde's expression changed.
Chen Mo nodded: "You can even increase the price a bit, and perhaps make some profit from the difference."
Ouyang Zhengde thought carefully. Earning money was secondary; the most important thing was to save these people's lives. He immediately agreed.
"Alright, then what price does Master intend to sell them for?"
Chen Mo said: "One hundred million per person."
"What!" Ouyang Zhengde's eyes almost bulged out. One hundred million per person, even if they were killed, they wouldn't be worth that much.
However, Chen Mo completely ignored Ouyang Zhengde's expression and continued: "There are sixteen people here in total, so that's 1.6 billion, not a penny less."
Ouyang Zhengde said with a troubled expression: "Master, they won't all buy them back. Some unimportant characters are simply not worth so much money."
Chen Mo waved his hand: "I said, not a penny less. If even a penny is missing, then I'll have them all killed."
"Of course, the ones doing the killing must be from your Ouyang family."
"This!" Ouyang Zhengde's face looked exceptionally grim.
"Aren't you forcing us to do something difficult?" Ouyang Yi questioned with a dark face.
"Forcing you to do something difficult?" Chen Mo glanced at Ouyang Yi.
He said coldly: "You keep calling me master, yet when I was offered a bounty, you remained indifferent. When I was hunted by aristocratic families, you still turned a deaf ear. Now, I ask you to kill these assassins, and you say I'm forcing you? Is this how you serve me as your servant?"
