Chapter 988: Get to the bottom of it
"Third uncle!"
Mo Cheng looked at Mo Song and felt a little uneasy. Is he really going to fail today?
"Let me ask you again, does this sunflower come from your Mingxin Pavilion?"
Xiao Yi spoke to Mo Song in a deep voice, his overwhelming pressure already overshadowing the latter's powerful aura.
Everyone didn't have time to think about Xiao Yi's strength. Their eyes were all on Mo Song, waiting for his reply. They were also wondering who had called and what was said on the phone.
"Yes!"
Mo Song spoke without hesitation.
Although it was just one simple word, it caused an uproar at the scene.
Mo Song actually admitted it!
Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel a little surprised. It should be related to the phone call just now, so that call...could it be from Mo Qiu?
If so, why would Mo Qiu let Mo Song admit it?
"Third uncle..."
Mo Cheng's heart trembled. Mo Song actually admitted it?
Then, he thought of the phone call just now, and his face became even uglier.
"Shut up!"
Mo Song shouted coldly and turned to look at the middle-aged man whose ribs were broken by Xuanyuan Tiezhu.
The man's face changed drastically, but it was too late for him to pretend to be dead.
Mo Song gave a look to the strong man beside him, who understood and led his men to drag the man to the front.
"Third Elder, no...it's not me."
The man cried for mercy.
But when he noticed Mo Cheng's vicious eyes, his heart trembled, as if he would die whether he said it or not!
"It seems that there is something wrong here..."
Xiao Yi sneered in his heart.
"Don't worry, sir. I will give you an explanation."
Mo Song looked at Xiao Yi and said in a deep voice.
"Then let's get started!"
Xiao Yi was still a little confused. Why was Mo Song, or the person behind him, so nice?
"Tell the truth, you can still live!"
Mo Song looked at the man.
"I……"
The man was sweating and his eyes kept switching between Mo Song and Mo Cheng.
"It's... it's my fault. I... I put the difference in price for Kui Lian into my own pocket."
After a while, the man made up his mind and still didn't dare to tell the truth.
The main thing is, he has no idea whether what Mo Song said about "telling the truth" is true.
No matter what, Mo Song and Mo Cheng are both members of the Mo family. If he takes the responsibility, it will help save the Mo family's reputation, and there shouldn't be any problems afterwards.
Hearing this, the other staff members had complicated expressions. Yes, there could be no other answer except this one.
In fact, everyone present knew everything in their hearts, but no one revealed anything. All they needed was a scapegoat.
"What a courage!"
Mo Song's voice sank, and he was a little hesitant as to whether it was necessary to investigate further.
Seeing this, Mo Cheng felt relieved, it seemed that this hurdle was passed.
"I was wrong... Third Elder, please forgive me this time. I am willing to pay the price..."
The man screamed at the top of his lungs.
"gentlemen."
Mo Song ignored him and looked at Xiao Yi.
"Now that the matter has been made clear, Mingxin Pavilion is willing to bear the consequences and return the money paid by Kui Lian in full, plus three top-grade Kui Lian plants. I wonder if this solution satisfies you, sir?"
"Isn't it a bit unreasonable to admit it so quickly?"
Xiao Yi said slowly, not intending to expose Mo Song's thoughts in public for the time being.
However, given his personality, it is impossible for him to be fooled and let Mo Cheng go.
"Sir, are you dissatisfied?"
Mo Song frowned slightly.
"Did you really do this alone?"
Xiao Yi didn't respond and looked at the man.
"Yes... it's me."
The man nodded.
"I was wrong, please give me a chance..."
"How can you be so capable? You must be very brave."
Xiao Yi pondered.
"Then it should be more than just tens of millions that he embezzled, right?"
"No... No, just this once, seriously, I swear."
Sweat was beading on the man's forehead.
“How does he handle it?”
Xiao Yi looked at Mo Song again.
"Dismiss your cultivation, expel you from the island, and never set foot on White Dragon Island again."
"What if what he just said is not true? What will be the result?"
Xiao Yi asked.
For a moment, the expressions of Mo Song and others all changed, and it seemed that they wanted to delve deeper into the matter.
"Where does this masked man get the confidence from? Does he really not understand what's going on here or is he doing it on purpose?"
"That's really fierce. I want to see what he can come up with."
Some people murmured quietly.
"Elder Mo, I remember you just told him to tell the truth, right?"
Xiao Yi said this and looked at everyone at counter number three.
"I don't think he can accomplish this task by himself. I think they should investigate it thoroughly."
When several staff members saw this, their faces turned green. Why was the criticism suddenly directed at them?
"We did nothing and didn't get paid a penny."
One man hastily denied it, and the others followed suit, fearing they would be implicated.
"Then tell us everything you know!"
Xiao Yi's voice turned cold.
Mo Song's heart sank. It seemed like this time he had to get serious.
"Third uncle, since the matter has been investigated, why should we allow an outsider to show off so much in my Mingxin Pavilion!"
Mo Cheng was anxious.
"shut up!"
Mo Song shouted coldly and looked at the man again.
"I'll give you one last chance. As long as you tell the truth, I'll keep you alive."
The man's heart was completely chilled, and he finally understood what Mo Song meant.
"Yes... Mr. Mo."
The man admitted it and looked at Mo Cheng.
"You are talking nonsense! You are slandering me!"
Mo Cheng became irritable.
"You know the consequences of wrongly accusing Mo Cheng."
Mo Song Road.
"I know, I'm telling the truth. All the money... all this money went into Mo Shao's pocket. This... everyone knows about it."
The man's voice became quieter and he lowered his head.
The other staff members also nodded, but did not dare to say anything more.
"No... Uncle San, they wronged me. It really wasn't me."
Mo Cheng was completely frightened.
"You still want to deny it after all this!"
Mo Song didn't dare to protect Mo Cheng anymore.
"I was wrong, Uncle San, it was all my fault..."
Mo Cheng begged for mercy. He was finally sure that it was not Mo Song who wanted to figure out the matter, but the intention of the person behind the scenes. How could he dare not deny it?
Also, who is this masked man in front of me?
"You have brought shame to the Mo family!"
Mo Song started the performance mode, he had to look presentable on the surface.
Xiao Yi watched with his arms folded. Since Mo Song and the people behind him were giving him so much face, he would not really break off relations with him.
Besides, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with Mo Song.
"Sir, since this matter involves the Mohist School, I will report it and give you a satisfactory answer."
Mo Song looked at Xiao Yi.
"As for the present, how can we deal with it to satisfy you?"
"Kneel down and admit your mistake!"
Xiao Yi said coldly.
Mo Song's expression changed slightly. Mo Cheng was a member of the Mo family after all. If he really knelt, it would be a slap in the face of the Mo family.
"Why, is it that difficult? How many people did he cheat before me, and how much money did he embezzle? If I were your family master, I would have killed him long ago to serve as a warning to others!"
Xiao Yi's voice was icy cold, filled with murderous intent.
Mo Song felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet and looked at Mo Cheng: "Kneel down!"
Seeing that there was no hope, Mo Cheng knelt on the ground facing Xiao Yi.
"I was wrong. I will definitely hand over all the money and never do it again. Please spare my life..."
Mo Cheng cried and begged for mercy, but he hated Xiao Yi in his heart.
Everyone sighed, especially the staff, who felt very happy.
They had seen too many of Mo Cheng's bad deeds and suffered a lot of oppression in the past. Now, someone finally helped them vent their anger.
