C5 Dissolving the crisis

Chapter V Resolving the Crisis

Mo Jiu's gaze swept across everyone. When they all revealed expressions of fear, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up as a cold smile flashed across his face.

A bunch of bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong. To deal with such people, one must use force. Otherwise, they would think that you are just a soft persimmon that can be kneaded by others!

"What, you're not talking?" Mo Jiu immediately raised his eyebrows at them, causing them to look at each other in dismay.

After a long while, a boorish and bold manager carefully said to him, "Young Master Mo, we are here to get back the hard-earned money that we had previously. It's not a good business these days, I hope you can understand!"

Mo Jiu wasn't angered by those words. His expression became extremely calm. After sizing up the other, he immediately said, "Hand your receipt over for this young master to see!"

As soon as he said this, the rough store owner subconsciously reached into his pocket and took out a yellowed receipt. On it were scrawled the words "How much is the purchase price?".

"To …" I hope that Young Master Mo can have a look! " The manager of the Rough Merchant Guild passed the note over to him. Mo Jiu took it and immediately smiled.

Raising his head to look at the dozen men, his face suddenly grew dark as he spoke to them in a low voice, "Where are your receipts? Take them all for this young lord's inspection!"

Hearing this, everyone's bodies shook, and they all took out their transaction receipts one after another.

After receiving the receipts, Mo Jiu looked at them carefully before walking to a stone table in the courtyard and sitting down. Then, he slammed the receipts down onto the stone table and raised his head to look at them.

His actions caused all of the managers to feel a burst of nervousness in their hearts. Some of them looked at him with fear, and some even subconsciously moved their bodies a little backwards.

After inspecting them for a long time, the corners of Mo Jiu's mouth curled up slightly. His face flashed a cold smile as he said coldly, "I have already looked over your receipts. The property of our Mo Estate outside the sect has indeed not been paid, but …"

He continued, "However, on these receipts, there is a deadline for repayment written in black and white. Open your eyes and take a good look, the latest repayment receipt is also a month later, and there are some that I would like to ask you guys a year later, what is the meaning of this?"

As Mo Jiu finished speaking, not only did his voice turn cold, his expression also became extremely unfriendly.

These words entered into their ears, yet it caused them to all lower their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.

Mo Jiu stared at them for a long time before he grabbed the receipt on the stone table and threw it towards them. In an instant, it flew into the sky and covered the ground.

"Take back your receipts and immediately scram out of the Mo Mansion. You can be at ease, the money you owe will definitely be returned. If you don't get it back by then, my Mo Mansion will be at your disposal!" Mo Jiu coldly said to them.

When the dozen or so people heard this, they did not dare to have any more objections. After picking up their receipts, they fled in panic.

Mo Xiaomo saw all of this happen. Suddenly, he felt a strong sense of admiration for the young master.

Who would have thought that this would also resolve the crisis?

A smile flashed across his face as he said to him, "Little Mo, sometimes you need to use your brain to deal with things, and you also need to be a little more powerful in everything you do. Because the more you endure, the more the other party will take advantage of you!"

With that, Mo Jiu got up and walked towards the gate of the courtyard. As he passed by Mo Tianxue, he patted him on the shoulder and gave him a look of encouragement.

"Work hard, there's still a long way to go …"

...

Northern Cold City, Bai Residence.

The Bai Clan was one of the two surnamed clans in the Northern Cold City. They were equally as famous as the Mo Estate and had a history of over a hundred years.

At this moment, within the guest hall of the Bai Clan, the Bai Clan's clan head, Bai Yunfeng, was welcoming a distinguished guest.

This distinguished visitor was none other than the grand elder of the Mo Estate, Mo Tianlan.

Mo Tianlan's sudden arrival did not cause much surprise for Bai Yunfeng.

"Mo Tianlan, do you know that you wasted a great opportunity to take over the Mo Estate because of your mistake?" Bai Yunfeng, who was sitting at the head of the table, looked at Liu Ming with a somewhat blaming expression.

"Patriarch, your subordinate is incompetent and has disappointed you!" However, Mo Tianlan's words were astounding. He lowered his head, as if he was a child that had done something wrong and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"Forget it, you are destined to fail this time around with Song Liang's intervention. It is truly a pity that you missed the opportunity to kill Mo Jiu Jiu!"

"Patriarch, we still have a chance!"

"Oh! What chance? "Tell me about it …"

"Mo Jiu's sister, Mo Jiu, is in your subordinate's hands. You just need to use her to lure him out and then …"

"Haha, they are truly broken iron shoes that cannot be found anywhere, and they are obtained without any effort." Bai Yunfeng threw his head back and laughed, "Well done, I was just worried that you wouldn't have a way to do it. I didn't think you would still have such a trick up your sleeve. Not bad, not bad at all!"

"Patriarch, that brat, Mo Jiu, has probably been exhausted out of his wits by all the creditors coming knocking on his door in the past few days. If we do something like this again, he'll definitely break down!"

"Good idea, then go back immediately and bring that little girl from the Mo Estate here secretly. I will personally arrange it."

"Alright, this subordinate will do it right away!"

"Un, go, go!" Bai Yunfeng waved at him.

Mo Tianlan then stood up and left, leaving Bai Yunfeng alone to drink the fragrant tea.

"Mo Estate?" "You are just a mere external family, and you have already occupied North Cold City for a hundred years. This is enough time for me to fulfill the last wishes of my ancestors and turn the entire North Cold City into the domain of the Bai Clan!"

...

In the Northern Cold City, there was a bustling commercial city. There were all sorts of merchants gathering here, forming a bustling market.

After leaving the Mo Estate, Mo Jiujiu took an hour to arrive at the northern city of Liangcheng on foot.

Looking at the bustling city from afar, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Gathering wealth was actually not difficult for a proud son of heaven like him. Even if his strength was low right now, he still had a way to gather wealth.

Merely, there were different sizes to gathering wealth. Small riches were easy to gather, but large sums were risky.

Now, the crisis the Mo Estate was facing was not something that could be solved with a small amount of money. Just the huge debts owed by the businesses outside the Mo Estate was enough to cause headaches.

However, Mo Jiu didn't think too much about it at the moment. As the saying goes, when a ship arrives at the bridge, it is natural that it will be straight.
