CHAPTER 1021 CAN'T BE OFFENDED
Lin Group from Donghai?
These few words rang like a bell and instantly echoed through his brain.
"Is it the forbidden territory of Donghai?" asked Mo Chenglin when he recalled it. His friend told him that the forbidden territory of Donghai gained a lot of notoriety recently!
Word had it that they had secured a foothold in the north.
How could it be them?
"Dad, what's wrong?" Mo Bei still had some contempt in his voice.
What could be so special about a place like Donghai? It was just a small city and didn't even qualify to be a provincial capital. How powerful could their businesses be?
"Lin Group isn't as simple as they seem," said Mo Chenglin. "I heard they can't be offended."
When Mo Bei heard his father's words, he chuckled.
"Dad, you're overthinking it. I investigated, and Lin Group only has connections with the Song family in the north. The head of the Song family, Song Xiaoyu, recently inspected the northwest district to see if there were any investment opportunities." He scoffed and went on, "I know that those powerful northern families were merely greedy for a slice of the pie in the northwest.
But times had changed and it wasn't like how it was ten years ago. It wasn't going to be easy for the powerful families of the north to control an external region just by planting someone else here.
Families like the Mo family had taken root in Tongshan for so many years, and the expansion and growth over the past three generations of the family had given them sufficient confidence in
themselves.
Even a second-tier family posed no threat at all!
Besides, the Mo family had the backing of foreign allies.
"Don't let your guard down!” said Mo Chenglin. He had been cautious all his life since he knew that there were many people and powers in this world that couldn't be offended, even though sometimes they seemed completely unknown.
"Stop attacking Lin Group for the time being and observe them instead," said Mo Chenglin after giving it some thought. "I'll ask around and find out where Lin Group is from. We can move in on them after we are sure."
"Dad..."
"I'm the head of this family!" yelled Mo Chenglin angrily. "The Mo family can't afford to make any mistakes now. Do you understand?”
Mo Bei wanted to retort, but stopped at the sight of Mo Chenglin's dark expression and merely nodded.
"Yes, I understand," said Mo Bei. Then Mo Chenglin called a friend in the north immediately to ask about Lin Group's background.
The Mo family was involved in many clandestine trades that could not be made known, so he didn't want to do anything flashy that attracted unnecessary attention.
If something happened and someone started noticing the Mo family, then it would spell trouble forthem.
After Mo Chenglin left, Mo Bei shook his head. He was clearly displeased.
"Dad, you're getting on in age," said Mo Bei calmly. "You're too conservative. How can the Mo family ever become a formidable family in the northwest district? How can we compete with the powerful northern families?"
Mo Bei was determined about the path he was to take. He was going to amass foreign support, so he had to risk using rare wild mine resources to trade for profit.
It was all to ensure the Mo family had a strong foothold in the northwestern district. Also, even more, he wanted the northern families to fear them!
He wanted even the supremely powerful families to feel threatened by them!
Although the path to success was a long one, it was bound to come true if he went on. Mo Bei trusted his judgment.
He called Cheng Fan immediately, but it wasn't to order Cheng Fan to halt all actions against Lin Group. Instead, he told him to speed up and force them to give up Xishan more quickly.
Wasn't Lin Group related to the Song family in the north?
It was merely a second-tier family that had declined. Mo Bei didn't feel like he had to be bothered about it. owns all © content.
