Chapter 151: Chapter 151: No, No, No
When Li Muhua\'s car stopped outside the warehouse in front, Yang Chen also parked the car at a distance.
Shortly after, Li Muhua got out of the car alone, having driven himself. He dragged two large suitcases, which probably couldn\'t contain the massive sum of twenty million yuan in Yanxia currency alone. Presumably, he had exchanged it for other currencies.
"Should we get out of the car?" Mo Qian Ni whispered. In the darkness, the usually strong-willed woman had become like a docile baby, sticking close to Yang Chen, her only reliance.
Yang Chen nodded. "Just follow me. We\'ll stay behind him, maintaining a certain distance. By using the obstacles here for cover, he won\'t notice us. We\'ll figure out a way to get inside the warehouse later."
Mo Qian Ni naturally agreed. After getting out of the car with Yang Chen, they followed behind Li Muhua, using the nearest containers as cover, slowly making their way towards the direction of the warehouse.
As the cold wind tousled their hair, the empty harbor appeared particularly desolate, like a giant beast lurking by the sea, sending shivers down one\'s spine.
The only light in the harbor at the moment was the designated meeting point at Warehouse No. 3, as agreed by the assailants beforehand. That warehouse was also the one closest to the sea. From the glass windows on the upper floor of the warehouse, the bright incandescent lights inside were still shining brightly.
Mo Qian Ni was wearing cotton slippers from the villa, so her footsteps were very light, making it much easier to walk.
Quietly, the two of them reached a spot several dozen meters away from the warehouse. They saw Li Muhua push open the iron gate of Warehouse No. 3 and disappear inside.
"Should we go in too?" Mo Qian Ni whispered.
Yang Chen didn\'t answer, but he just grabbed her soft hand and walked steadily towards the side entrance of the warehouse. There, an outdoor staircase led directly to the second floor of the warehouse.
After Li Muhua entered Warehouse No. 3, as he looked around, there were only a few piles of goods stacked in front of him. These goods were just abandoned products that couldn\'t be shipped out of the port and were temporarily stored here until the port became busy again.
The entire warehouse exuded a damp and cold wind, as if it were deserted.
Li Muhua released the suitcases he was holding and looked around. He raised his voice, "I\'m Li Muhua from Muyun. I\'ve brought the money!"
After his voice echoed throughout the warehouse, there was a wave of echoes that took a while to subside.
Just as Li Muhua furrowed his brows in confusion, wondering if anyone was there, four figures emerged from behind a pile of goods ahead.
The person at the front was wearing a floral-patterned shirt, draped in a leather windbreaker, a mismatched attire. He had a cigar in his mouth and wore a pair of black leather flip-flops. His squinted eyes looked at Li Muhua with interest.
Li Muhua was immediately taken aback when he saw the newcomer, his face alternating between pale and red. "How... how can it be?"
The person who walked out was none other than Li Muhua\'s own brother, Li Mucheng!
Accompanying Li Mucheng was his trusted bodyguard and aide, Li Meng, whom Li Deshen had assigned to him. There were also two other bodyguards in black sunglasses, evidently part of Li Mucheng\'s security team.
"How surprising, isn\'t it, my dear little brother?" Li Mucheng\'s eyes flashed with a sinister light as he held his cigar between two fingers, laughing coldly. "Why are you doing this?" Li Muhua asked with a mixture of disbelief, confusion, and pain.
"Why? Haha, at a time like this, Li Muhua, you\'re still asking me why?" Li Mucheng laughed wildly, suddenly throwing his cigar down in front of Li Muhua, roaring, "Stop pretending to be righteous! I\'ve had enough of your hypocritical face! Do you think I\'m stupid? Am I supposed to treat you like some saint, just like that old fool does?"
Li Muhua stood still, seemingly not understanding what Li Mucheng was talking about, staring blankly at him.
Li Mucheng tilted his head back, laughing and gasping for breath. "Are you pretending to be stupid? I don\'t care, if you want to pretend, go ahead. But after tonight, you\'ll be bidding farewell to this world. But rest assured, I\'ll take care of everything at home. The company and the assets, I\'ll manage them well for you."
"Brother, are you doing this just for the company and the assets?" Li Muhua looked at him in disbelief. "I\'ve never thought of monopolizing the family\'s industries. I\'ve always been trying to persuade Dad to give you a chance to participate in the company\'s affairs. And since I took over the company, I\'ve never reduced your annual dividends. Why would you deceive me like this? Deceive Dad? And use such extortionate and bombastic methods to lure me over?"
"Enough! Shut up, damn it!" Li Mucheng rushed forward a few steps, pointing his finger at Li Muhua\'s nose and cursing loudly, "Do you think I don\'t know? Three years ago, that old man gave me funds for investment. If it weren\'t for you bribing my subordinates and making them change the negotiation terms, how could I have lost so miserably? And every time my private investments showed some promise, there would immediately be powerful, unknown opponents messing them up. Do you think I don\'t know that it\'s actually you?"
Li Muhua wanted to explain, but Li Mucheng clearly didn\'t want to listen. He turned around and continued, "This time, Muyun and Zhonghai, along with Yulei and Changlin, are collaborating on the new material project. It\'s so important, but neither you nor that old geezer informed me about it. Don\'t you both want to butter me up with a few more gold pieces, so that you can take all the credit and pass the entire family into your hands? Since you both no longer consider me a member of the Li family, don\'t blame me for being ruthless and taking the initiative to secure some capital for my survival."
"No, brother, this is a confidential agreement. After the matter is completed..." Li Muhua tried to explain.
"Shut up! I told you to shut up!" Li Mucheng turned back, his face twisted with ferocity. "Do you think I\'m an idiot?! Yes! You all think I\'m an idiot, a moron, a useless fool! You all look down on me! Do you think I don\'t know that the enemy is the Xu family from Zhonghai?! Even if I don\'t rely on you, I still know who the main competitors are this time. I don\'t need you and I can still do very well!"
Li Muhua went from initial shock to gradually calming down, and asked with difficulty, "So, you orchestrated tonight\'s assassination, tonight\'s biochemical bomb, tonight\'s extortion?!"
"Exactly, of course, and I must thank the old man for sending Li Meng to me," Li Mucheng replied with a smile as he walked over to the tall Li Meng, patting his shoulder. "Li Meng obviously has a better grasp of right and wrong than you do. With his help in planning and executing, the plan was perfect."
"Thank you for the praise, Young Master," Li Meng nodded expressionlessly to Li Mucheng.
Li Mucheng continued, "Originally, the plan was to have representatives of Yulei and Changlin die in the villa, to disrupt the cooperation. Unfortunately, they didn\'t die, but it doesn\'t matter because as long as you die, I can still achieve my goal more directly."
Li Muhua\'s face turned pale, "Brother, I\'m your own brother, are you really going to kill me?!"
"No, no, no..." Li Mucheng shook his finger, smiling broadly, "I wouldn\'t bear to kill such a lovely brother like you. It\'s the thugs who are going to kill you. After they shoot you, they\'ll escape by boat. We\'ve been at the villa all night, everyone saw it with their own eyes. I, Li Mucheng, either returned to my room or was dragged back after being frightened."
With that said, the smile on Li Mucheng\'s face instantly disappeared, replaced by a sudden surge of murderous intent in his eyes. He waved his hand to his henchmen.
"Kill him, Li Meng."
"Yes, Young Master."
Without hesitation, Li Meng pulled out an MP5 submachine gun hidden in his chest, disengaged the safety, raised his hand, took aim.
The dark barrel was ominously pressed against Li Mucheng\'s temple!
