Two weeks later.
Blue Diamond Entertainment. Meeting Room.
"Did he really kill my mother?" Mo Yu Ze asked Mo Xi with a voice that was filled with defeat and anger.
Chen Chu Yao sat beside him and held his hand tightly as though giving him energy.
Mo Xi took out a file and pa.s.sed it to Mo Yu Ze.
Mo Yu Ze flipped through the doc.u.ments, and his grip grew tighter and tighter.
"Don't do anything stupid that would ruin your life. There is no point in making him pay with his life because it would ruin your own life as well. The best way to make him pay is to make him lose whatever he has now, while you stand higher than him."
"… What do I have to do?" Mo Yu Ze asked with a firm voice after a moment of silence.
"You learned designing before, right?"
"Yes, but it has been many years ago…"
Mo Xi took out a set of blueprints and pa.s.sed it to Mo Yu Ze, "Read the blueprints."
Mo Yu Ze looked at the blueprints, and his eyebrows scrunched up, "This blueprint is not drawn by only one person, right?"
Mo Xi smiled, "That's right. Continue looking."
"Inconsistent scales are used in this blueprint."
Mo Xi nodded.
"This is place in an awkward area, and it wastes s.p.a.ce."
They continued for a while, and Mo Xi nodded happily.
Mo Xi said as she handed a file to Mo Yu Ze, "You haven't forgotten everything. This is the original request. Your task is to go back and design a building that meets the request."
Mo Yu Ze took the file and looked at Mo Xi, "Where did this come from?"
"From me."
"You are building a new shopping mall?!"
"Mm. I intend to put all the shops of the collaborators of Blue Diamond Entertainment together in a single shopping mall. I want to include a shop that lets people experience how it is like when artists read malicious comments on the internet."
Mo Yu Ze was slightly surprised by Mo Xi's intentions of letting people experience what most artists experienced before.
"You know how to design, right? You understood all the blueprints, so why didn't you design it on your own?" Mo Yu Ze asked out of curiosity.
"I know a little bit about design. However, I don't want to waste my time on designing when there are people who should know how to design. However, they all failed my expectations. Then you happen to be one, so I decided to ask you to try."
"I won't disappoint you!"
Mo Xi smiled, "Great!"
"But, what about Yao Yao? If I am going to focus on designing now, I can't follow Yao Yao whenever she goes for shoots."
"Don't worry. You can do the designs at night and follow Yao Yao in the day. The designs aren't urgent, and all Blue Diamond Entertainment's artists are only allowed to work at most eight hours a day unless needed. We should also give them some time to let their guards down. Their stocks are already fluctuating right now, and we could wait for them to stabilize before you take over. In a month, Liao Ming Hu would be handing over his positions to Mo Yu Ye, that's when you should appear."
Chen Chu Yao and Mo Yu Ze were surprised by Mo Xi's words, "Thank you!"
"I wasn't joking when I said that I support my artists finding a partner," Mo Xi laughed.
Chen Chu Yao and Mo Yu Ze held each other's hands tightly and smiled sweetly.
"By the way, I will be sending you a surprise on the day itself," Mo Xi then left the meeting room and went back to her office.
Mo Yu Ze and Chen Chu Yao looked at one another in confusion but didn't think much about it.
After Mo Yu Ze and Chen Chu Yao left, Mo Xi received a call from Jing Mo Ling.
"Sister Mo Xi… Brother Xiao… Brother Xiao… Is in the hospital…" Jing Mo Ling's voice was shaking, and she was crying while she spoke.
"What happened?" Mo Xi was shocked by the news.
"I don't know… I received a call from Capital Hospital, and they told me that Brother Xiao was injured when he was catching a criminal, and they said that his life might be in danger… I am on my way to the hospital now…"
"Ok. I am going there now. Don't worry too much, alright?" Mo Xi immediately took the keys and rushed out.
Although Mo Xi told Jing Mo Ling not to worry, Mo Xi was anxious about Lu Jin Xiao. This was the first time Lu Jin Xiao got seriously injured apart from five years ago.
Mo Xi immediately called Ye Juan An and Jing Mo Chen even though she felt that there was something wrong about this matter.
Everyone knew that Lu Jin Xiao is the son of Lu Qing Min and Ye Juan An, and most people didn't know about the relations.h.i.+p between Jing Mo Ling and Lu Jin Xiao. Hence, it didn't make sense that the hospital called Jing Mo Ling and not Ye Juan An or Lu Qing Min.
On the way there, Jing Mo Chen and Mo Xi contacted various people to investigate the matter secretly.
Capital Hospital.
"Where's Lu Jin Xiao?" Jing Mo Ling asked anxiously the moment she entered the hospital.
The front desk nurse searched for Lu Jin Xiao's name and answered immediately when she found the information, "In the emergency room."
"Thank you!" Jing Mo Ling dashed to the emergency room and saw Lu Jin Xiao's colleagues waiting outside the surgical room anxiously.
"Sister-in-law..." Lu Jin Xiao's colleagues called when they saw Jing Mo Ling.
"How... How is Brother Xiao?"
"He is still in the surgical room..." Someone answered.
"I am sorry... It is my fault!" Yi Yan Yu walked forward to Jing Mo Ling and bowed.
"What happened?" Jing Mo Ling asked anxiously.
"Brother Xiao took the bullet for me when we were catching the criminals..."
