The System Is One Year Ahead Of Schedule, But It’S Not The End Of The World Yet!

Chapter 97 Astonishing Speed of Resolution! (5000 words)

Hong Xingsheng's home.

Although he sells things that make people feel decadent, he himself absolutely does not touch them.

He even lives a very disciplined life and exercises regularly.

It was only a little past ten o'clock, and he was already preparing to go to sleep.

Because he goes to bed at exactly 11 o'clock every night and wakes up at 6 o'clock in the morning.

He is a guy with a routine comparable to a robot.

Perhaps because of his excellent self-control, he is also the most capable among the three brothers.

After finishing his washing up and lying down on the bed, Hong Xingsheng, who was flipping through a book, suddenly heard what seemed to be the sound of the door opening in his house.

Although he doesn't have bodyguards arranged at home, the doors are all secured with multiple locks.

In the quiet night, the sound of the door opening was quite loud.

He quickly took out his phone and opened the surveillance, curious as to why the door of his own house would open.

The only people who have keys to his house are his older brother and second brother.

But his older brother and second brother know his daily routine, so it's impossible for them to come find him at this time.

Even if they were to come, they should have called first.

How is it possible for someone to just open the door and barge in without any message in the middle of the night?

As he played back the surveillance footage, Hong Xingsheng was surprised to see that the door seemed to be haunted. It automatically unlocked all the locks and turned the doorknob in the absence of anyone.

Then the door opened, and the next moment it immediately closed again.

He had never seen such an anomaly in his life.

He immediately took down the sword hanging by his bedside, which was used to ward off evil spirits, and tightly gripped it in his hand.

"Do no evil during the day, fear no ghosts knocking on the door at night. Now you know fear?" A young voice suddenly sounded from outside the bedroom door, but no matter how Hong Xingsheng looked at the surveillance footage on his phone, he couldn't see a figure.

"Who are you? Who are you really? If you have something to say, just say it. There's a cause for every grievance and a debtor for every debt." Hong Xingsheng, who had done bad things every day, was also afraid in the face of this anomaly. He held the sword and fearfully shouted towards the direction of the bedroom door.

"Bang!"

As the door suddenly exploded open.

Hong Xingsheng was so scared that he almost wet his pants.

His bedroom door was specially made with super strength, and yet it was blown open. Besides ghosts, he really couldn't think of a second possibility.

He was so scared that he started swinging the sword randomly around him.

"Come out! What do you want to do? If you have any grievances, just say it. I can burn money for you, perform rituals for you, do anything. Just come out and talk." Hong Xingsheng looked left and right, shouting into the air.

Seeing him so scared, Chen Mo immediately smiled and revealed his figure.

Looking at Chen Mo's young appearance, Hong Xingsheng looked at him in horror and asked, "Why... why are you looking for me?"

"I want your life."

"You... don't come any closer. I... I'll tell you, right now I'm human and you're a ghost. I... I'm still afraid of you. But... but when I... when I become a ghost too, then I won't be afraid of you anymore. Spare me, I can give you anything you want!" Hong Xingsheng had completely taken Chen Mo for a ghost.

But it's not surprising.

After all, it was late at night, the locked door of the house opened and closed on its own, and then his bedroom door inexplicably exploded open, and a young man he didn't recognize appeared out of thin air. Anyone would think he was a ghost.

Looking at the scared expression on the other side, Chen Mo smiled and said, "I still prefer using things from the mortal world, so you don't have to bother burning them."

After speaking, the ring blade on Chen Mo's right middle finger instantly popped out.

It's really rare to see a ghost killing people with weapons. Hong Xingsheng didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Summoning his courage, he picked up his own demon-slaying sword and swung it towards Chen Mo.

Unfortunately, there was a huge gap in strength between the two. Chen Mo simply shifted his footwork and easily avoided Hong Xingsheng's attack, then waved his right hand.

Hong Xingsheng's body, charging forward, was instantly cut into two.

Until his death, Hong Xingsheng never figured out whether Chen Mo was a human or a ghost.

After dealing with Hong Xingsheng, Chen Mo erased the cloud records in his phone's monitoring app and turned off the surveillance before leaving directly.

After walking a considerable distance from Hong Xingsheng's house, Chen Mo finally opened the umbrella he casually picked up at the dance hall and sent a message to Du Renyuan and Zhao Yue on his phone.

[Message]: The target has been taken care of, you can proceed.

These simple words indeed shocked Du Renyuan and Zhao Yue.

"So fast?" Du Renyuan was surprised to see Chen Mo's recovery message.

"Dad, has Dr. Chen already taken care of it?" Du Zihang brought a cup of warm milk before bed.

"Yes, we haven't received any news here, which means even the people from the Hong family haven't discovered that these three brothers have been dealt with." Du Renyuan narrowed his eyes and deeply felt the horror of Chen Mo.

"Impossible, it's easy to deal with these three people, but to continuously eliminate all three of them and escape unscathed without being noticed, it's almost impossible." Du Zihang also found it unbelievable.

"I think it's strange too. According to the reports and investigations we received, these three people, Hong Xingyuan, has never left his Hong Le Tian Dance Hall since he entered. The boss's area there is heavily guarded, making it difficult for outsiders to enter.

The only ones who can get in should be those girls who were deceived.

The same goes for Hong Xingyu. According to the information from our people, he has always stayed in his own casino boss's room. The casino has numerous bodyguards and strong security forces. Moreover, to prevent media exposure, the strictness of checking outsiders is also very high. It's not easy for outsiders to infiltrate. Only regular customers who are introduced can get in."

"It seems that Dr. Chen knows quite a few talented individuals. Is there a way to infiltrate these two places?"

Since Du Renyuan and Du Zihang had not personally witnessed Chen Mo's actions, they didn't know much about his abilities.

Du Renyuan only heard Chen Mo's account of how he killed the five assassins from the Seagull Squad.

But whether it was really Chen Mo alone or if he had other powerful guardians behind him, they didn't know.

After all, considering Chen Mo's extraordinary medical skills, it was not impossible for his master to be a Transcendent Level expert who taught disciples of different levels in various fields.

"I really can't tell. Based on Chen Mo's previous life trajectory and reports, he is just an ordinary child from an ordinary family. I don't know when he met his master, who is the true powerhouse. Teaching a child from an ordinary family to this level is truly remarkable," Du Zihang couldn't help but sigh.

"But you're wrong. The more extraordinary the person, the more careful they are in selecting disciples. For Chen Mo to be chosen, he must have extraordinary qualities that ordinary people don't have.

This extraordinary quality that ordinary people don't notice was seen by this powerhouse, which is why he chose to teach him selectively," Du Renyuan analyzed.

After speaking, he said to Du Zihang, "Forget about the previous investigation. Don't continue investigating Chen Mo's background to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and antagonizing the other party. It's not worth it. Even if we find out where his master is, such a person is not someone ordinary things like money, fame, or status can move. If he cared, with his abilities, he would have already made a name for himself."

"You're right, I will instruct them accordingly."

"Well, it's late now. You should go to sleep. From now on, let the servants handle these matters. Your old man is already quite capable, so you don't have to worry about the servants not taking care of me. You've worked hard these past few days," Du Renyuan looked at Du Zihang with a contented smile.

"You recovering is all that matters," Du Zihang said with a smile.

"Good child, all of you are good children," Du Renyuan looked at Du Zihang closing the door for him, feeling a bit complicated.

In fact, Du Zihang was the most suitable successor in his opinion.

Both in temperament and ability, he was excellent. It's just that he wasn't interested in this aspect. He only took over temporarily because he was forced to when Du Renyuan fell ill.

Du Renyuan could see that Du Zihang didn't like these things.

But he really wanted Du Zihang to take over and strengthen the Du Yuan Group that had been passed down from previous generations, and further take control and elevate it.

Although Chen Mo said that his body had recovered and he could have his own children.

But compared to his own bloodline, these five children, Du Renyuan, had already been treated as his own children a long time ago.

He had no intention of diminishing their power or pushing them away from the Du Yuan Group just because he had the ability to have biological children.

On the contrary, none of the five children had such thoughts, which made him anxious.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Ah, let them go."

Du Renyuan opened his phone and found a number that had been stored in it but hadn't been contacted for a long time.

Looking at this number, scenes from his youth involuntarily appeared before his eyes.

It was a dance party where he was invited to dance by a girl with an extremely sunny smile and a cheerful personality.

Although the girl wasn't the type that was extremely beautiful, her confidence, composure, and carefree smile were particularly charming.

Du Renyuan still remembered the appearance of her two dimples when she smiled.

At this moment, Du Renyuan couldn't help but show a look of infatuation that a young person would have when they see someone they admire.

A person who dominated the top group in Shanghai, the Du Yuan Group, actually had such a tender and affectionate side, which was truly unbelievable.

"Heh... What am I being foolish about? So many years have passed, Mei Rose must have already settled down. Even if my body is better now, everyone is already at that age. Time flies like flowing water, and it's already gone."

Du Renyuan sighed and finally didn't have the courage to dial the number or send a greeting message.

...

When Chen Mo quickly dealt with the Hong brothers, the Yellow Robe Society received Zhao Yue's message and couldn't help but feel incredulous.

During the video conference.

After listening to what Zhao Yue said, several uncles and elders were immediately amazed.

"This kid is a bit too terrifying. I'm not surprised that he simply dealt with these three guys."

"But the speed at which he dealt with them is too fast!"

"Yeah, not even a single piece of information leaked out. Until now, their own people still don't know that their boss is already dead. What kind of assassination ability is this?"

"Xiaoyue, where did you find this Chen Mo? How can he have such great ability? We can hardly find any information about him. The only thing we can find is his ordinary life experiences."

The uncles and elders looked at Zhao Yue with great astonishment.

They couldn't help but put themselves in the shoes of those three men. Could they have escaped if someone came to assassinate them in this manner?

Although these three men were just a branch of the Hong family, and their security forces were not top-notch.

But it's still hard to believe that they were completely dealt with without any information leaking out.

Of course, there is also the possibility that Chen Mo lied.

But this possibility is practically non-existent.

Because there would be no point in him lying about this.

Once they took action, they would immediately know if it was true or false. It would be foolish to lie and tarnish his own reputation.

Seeing the shocked expressions of the uncles and elders, Zhao Yue was quite satisfied.

When she received the information that Chen Mo had completed his mission, she was also amazed.

But the more so, the greater the threat posed by Chen Mo's existence.

Letting these uncles and elders know that there is such an ace expert by her side would only make them more dependent on her within the Yellow Robe Society.

"Alright, Chen Mo's matter has been taken care of. Now it's up to all of you. Take as much of the share as you can, but there's no need to compete with the Qing Society. Du Renyuan has already said that all the parts taken from the Hong family will be under Chen Mo's name.

Since the Qing Society has given up the opportunity to grow, there's no need for us to be impatient."

"What!? Why would Du Renyuan say that? The Hong family's share is not a small amount. Even if our Yellow Robe Society takes one-third, the remaining two-thirds will all go to Chen Mo. Are you sure he's not trying to deceive you?"

"It's unlikely. Chen Mo has saved Du Renyuan's life, and I know a little about Du Renyuan. Although he is arrogant and domineering, he has always been clear about debts and favors. With Chen Mo's great favor towards him, even if he deceives Xiaoyue, he shouldn't deceive Chen Mo."

"After all, if Chen Mo can save him once, he can save him a second time. Compared to the Hong family's one-third of the industry, which is insignificant compared to his own future safety, I believe Du Renyuan knows how to choose."

"If he really wants this share, he would have just taken it and maintained a stable relationship with Chen Mo. There's no need to say he'll give it to Chen Mo and then take it back. That would be no different from throwing away his life-saving card."

"That's true, but ever since Du Renyuan took power, he has been consolidating his power and expanding the Du Yuan Group. Isn't it to make the inherited industry grow and strengthen in his own hands? This time, he can swallow such a significant share of the Hong family's industry. He is willing to work for free and contribute his manpower and resources without gaining any benefits. Even with Chen Mo's life-saving favor, it shouldn't be to this extent."

Looking at the puzzled expressions of the uncles and elders, Zhao Yue said, "Du Renyuan has never had his own bloodline heir, and I think everyone knows the basic situation."

"It seems that there have been rumors about his health problems since he was young."

"Yes, that's what I've heard too."

Zhao Yue nodded and said, "The rumors are true, but after Chen Mo saved him this time, not only did he cure his terminal illness, but he also eliminated the illness that has been with Du Renyuan since childhood, as you mentioned."

"This means that he has given the Du family the ability to continue their bloodline. Think about this favor, how does it compare to a life-saving favor?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately understood.

Saving Du Renyuan only saved his life.

But saving the Du family's bloodline saved an entire lineage.

This favor was absolutely extraordinary.

Finally, everyone could understand why Du Renyuan would do this.

Saving his life and continuing the bloodline, these two great favors couldn't be repaid with just one-third of the Hong family's industry.

His willingness to assist without caring about personal gain and giving away one-third of the profits was completely reasonable.

The uncles and elders no longer questioned anything. Since they didn't need to worry about the Qing Society anymore, they could immediately contact their subordinates and start working.

After the meeting ended, Zhao Yue stretched lazily, showing her delicate and boneless figure. She looked towards Chen Mo's rented house. She had a feeling that Chen Mo seemed to be planning something big, but she still couldn't fully understand what Chen Mo was up to.

...

After sending the message, Chen Mo couldn't be bothered with the situation here anymore. He just needed to wait for Du Renyuan, Zhao Yue, and their people to take control here. When the time came, he would gather the personnel and bring them under his name, waiting to receive the rewards for subduing a large number of subordinates that the system would release.

On the way back, Chen Mo opened the system interface to check.

The three brothers of the Hong family would all have a promising future and reach Rank Five. By killing them, Chen Mo directly received a reward of 7,500 survival points and three B-grade gift packages.

A decent harvest.

However, knowing that the gift packages could be combined into higher-level ones, Chen Mo didn't rush to open the junk gift packages for now.

It was a quiet night on the streets, with few pedestrians.

But tonight, the Dongcheng District was bustling.

...

Back at Mingyuan Community, after parking the car in the garage, Chen Mo received the settlement reward for the third daily task of the day.

[System Prompt: Congratulations on successfully completing Daily Task (3) and bringing back a transportation tool capable of reaching speeds of up to 200 km/h. You have exceeded the daily task and the reward is doubled.

You have obtained 2,000 survival points and two daily gift packages.]

Chen Mo casually opened the two daily gift packages.

These two daily gift packages were quite good. They contained two Beast Enhancement Pills, which could enhance the strength of pets.

In addition, Chen Mo also had an Advanced Beast Evolution Pill. If he fed it all to Xiao Huang, Chen Mo estimated that he could raise Xiao Huang's strength to the mid-Rank One Mutant Beast level. Having a reliable Mutant Beast bodyguard to protect the people he wanted to protect when he wasn't around was quite good.

[PS]: It seems that today is the last day of the double monthly votes.
