"Watching you get taken down live?
You've got it in the bag, why would I watch?
I'm sleepy and not interested.
Li Qianfan was about to send a voice message directly to Mo Hongti.
But she preempted him, urging, "Hurry, they're almost here!"
Li Qianfan had no choice but to accept the video call.
"Wow, is this President Pai Pai's boudoir? It must be fragrant and make one's mind wander, right?"
The moment Mo Hongti saw it, she spotted the photo frame of Pai Pai's single portrait on the cabinet.
She pursed her lips and placed her phone on the stand of the corner cabinet.
From this angle, the entire reception room could be captured in the shot.
As soon as she adjusted the phone's angle, a knock sounded at the door.
Mo Hongti quickly returned to the sofa and announced, "Please come in."
The door opened.
Zhang Bao, who had knocked, entered first, followed by Du Tianci, his bodyguards, and Mo Haishan.
Mo Haishan's presence was within Mo Hongti's expectations.
"Young Master Du, you've arrived."
Mo Hongti greeted him enthusiastically, "Please have a seat. Zhang Bao, make tea for Young Master Du and President Mo."
After entering, Du Tianci first scrutinized Mo Hongti for a long moment before slumping into the main seat.
Mo Haishan sat beside him, diligently offering him a cigarette.
Du Tianci's attitude was clearly "those who come with ill intentions are not good," but Mo Hongti paid it no mind.
She gracefully took her seat, lit a cigarette, then casually crossed her legs, her toes tapping rhythmically.
Seeing her lack of fear, Du Tianci said coldly, "Mo Hongti, you're quite arrogant."
"If I weren't arrogant, would you let me go?"
Mo Hongti retorted, then changed the subject, "Eldest Young Master Du, the experience of sleeping in a detention cell last night must have been unpleasant, right?"
Du Tianci's expression changed.
"I thought you'd be in there for a few days."
Mo Hongti continued, "I didn't expect you to be released so quickly. As expected of the Du family, one of the 'Bai Lan Du' three great noble families of Tiandong, your connections are indeed strong."
Bang!
Mo Haishan suddenly slammed the table and sternly asked, "Hongti, who gave you the courage to speak to Eldest Young Master Du like this?"
Mo Hongti's face showed a look of indifference.
She sneered, "Big Brother, do you really think I don't know that the Mo family has held a secret meeting behind my back? To avoid being suppressed by the Du family, you've decided to push me out, to be at Du Tianci's disposal. And you're even going to give Victoria to Du Tianci?"
Mo Haishan froze, his eyes darting away.
"It's your business to make such decisions."
Mo Hongti looked at him and said coldly, "But whether I want to be a sacrifice is my business."
"Hongti."
Mo Haishan's tone was sincere, "As a member of the Mo family, you have carried the responsibility of sacrificing for the greater good since the day you were born."
"Heh heh."
Mo Hongti forced a smile, "Before this, what I've done for the Mo family has been enough to repay their nurturing kindness. But now, I don't want to use this body to profit the Mo family anymore!"
Mo Haishan appeared greatly surprised, "Hongti, disobedience to the Old Master's orders will have severe consequences."
"How severe can they be?"
Mo Hongti lightly bounced her stiletto heels and said coldly, "In any case, I will no longer follow the Mo family's arrangements."
"Good! Since you say so, then I can only proceed according to protocol."
Mo Haishan stood up and slowly announced, "Now, on behalf of the Old Master and the entire core, I solemnly declare! Effective immediately, Mo Hongti is no longer the General Manager of Victoria. Nor will she hold any positions in enterprises under the Mo family."
A flicker of sadness crossed Mo Hongti's eyes.
She had done so much for the Mo family!
And the result?
The Mo family, to ensure their overall interests were not harmed, had unhesitatingly stripped her of all her positions.
By doing this, the Mo family could maximally sever her "grudge" with Du Tianci.
Allowing the Du family to target only Mo Hongti, without implicating the entire Mo family.
"For the entire Mo family, the Old Master doesn't care about his own life. If necessary, I can also sacrifice myself."
Mo Haishan looked at Mo Hongti, his tone heavy with sorrow.
But inwardly, he rejoiced—
This youngest sister was too formidable, completely disregarding him, her elder brother.
Mo Haishan had waited for a long time for an opportunity to strip Mo Hongti of all her power.
From now on.
The Mo family and the entire Golden Group would be under his command, Mo Haishan!
"Mr. Du."
Mo Haishan turned to Du Tianci again and said solemnly, "From now on, your grievances with Mo Hongti will no longer concern the entire Mo family."
"Transfer all the shares of Victoria to my name. Consider it compensation for my right hand being crippled by Mo Hongti."
Du Tianci said slowly, "The Du family will never suppress the Qingyun Mo family again."
Victoria was worth over three hundred million, and more importantly, it was a golden hen that laid eggs.
For the Mo family to avoid suppression by the Du family, they not only had to sacrifice Mo Hongti but also give up this golden hen.
Mo Haishan felt a pang of pain inwardly, but he said, "The contract has been prepared and will be sent over immediately."
Du Tianci nodded with satisfaction.
He looked at Mo Hongti and said, "I told you long ago, the three-day deadline has arrived. If you haven't discovered Li Qianfan's origin by then, you will have to work at Victoria."
Mo Hongti's expression remained unchanged.
Du Tianci chuckled, "Tonight, you will be Victoria's top hostess. At that time, I will personally auction your first night."
Mo Hongti's face finally changed.
Pale!
Even Zhang Bao, standing behind her, had his jaw muscles twitching.
Du Tianci, however, seemed to relish Mo Hongti's current state.
He instructed his bodyguard, "Bao Cheng, make calls according to the list I gave you. Tell them I've invited them to come to Qingyun Victoria tonight without fail to bid for Mo Hongti's first night."
Bao Cheng acknowledged and quickly left the room.
"Mo Hongti, you're too incompetent."
Du Tianci looked at Mo Hongti and sighed, "I really dislike incompetent people. Otherwise, I would personally step in tonight. To savor, in detail, the succulent and tender Hongti."
Mo Hongti just gritted her teeth and said nothing.
When Bao Cheng finished making the calls and re-entered from outside, Mo Haishan also presented the Victoria share transfer contract with both hands.
As Du Tianci signed it, Mo Haishan's brows twitched with pain.
"From now on, I am the owner of Victoria."
Du Tianci dropped the pen and smiled at Mo Haishan, "President Mo, I hope you'll visit often and patronize my business in the future."
"Alright."
Mo Haishan forced a smile and put away his copy of the contract.
Mo Hongti, with a pale face, glanced at the transfer contract.
But in her heart, she laughed wildly, "Eldest Young Master Du, thank you! For helping me reclaim Victoria from the Mo family."
She took a deep breath.
Suddenly, she asked Mo Haishan, "Big Brother, do you know that the Du family is currently in dire straits?"
