The Ambitions to Conquer the Official Career-Chapter 670: Inside the Mo Family

Ji Yang did not stay at the Mo Family residence for long and soon left the place.

Ji Yang had noticed that Mo Jinjun was eager to send him away first, probably because they had other matters to discuss in his absence.

He got into the Mo Family’s car and headed for the hotel he had booked.

Not to mention Ji Yang’s situation, let’s talk about the Mo Family at this time. Ever since Mo Jinjun learned some information, he had become deeply troubled.

After sending Ji Yang away, Mo Jinjun called several core members of the Mo Family over and said, "Let’s talk about the situation."

This time they didn’t enter the director’s office, but took the elevator down to a luxuriously decorated office underground.

Once everyone had entered, Mo Jinjun looked around at them, then turned to a young man with an outstanding demeanor and said, "Xiao Jun, what’s the situation with those Westerners you introduced last time?"

This person, referred to as Xiao Jun, was his youngest son, who had been in charge of importing medical equipment for the Mo Family. Of course, the Mo Family had not acted directly but had used agents to handle the business.

The Mo Family, being a large clan, relied on agents who were loyal to them, so there were no issues with conducting such business.

Mo Yongjun, hearing his father’s question, asked with confusion, "What’s wrong?"

The other Mo Family members also looked puzzledly at Mo Jinjun.

Mo Jinjun sighed and said, "I suspect the old master’s condition is related to those Westerners."

"What?" Everyone looked at Mo Jinjun in astonished disbelief.

Mo Jinjun turned to his younger son again and said, "Those people’s appetites were too big. After Xiao Jun introduced them, they demanded a large amount of benefits. Although I am in charge of this matter, agreeing to their terms would surely cause great harm to our nation’s interests. If investigated, it would not end well for me. So, when they made threats, I didn’t take them seriously at the time. Thinking back on it now, that’s when the trouble started."

"Brother, what exactly happened?" Mo Jinjun’s sister, the beautiful woman Ji Yang had seen, asked at this point.

Everyone’s attention returned to Mo Jinjun.

Mo Jinjun sighed once more and said, "One of the Westerners said that if we didn’t agree to their terms, they would demonstrate their power. I didn’t take it seriously, but now that the old master has fallen ill, I suspect it is a result of their tactics."

"How could that be? The old master has always been protected. Even if they wanted to do something, they wouldn’t necessarily be able to. Besides, the old master is just poisoned, right? There are specialized individuals in charge of his food and clothing. How could there be a problem?"

After looking around at everyone, Mo Jinjun said, "I originally thought it wouldn’t be an issue either. Indeed, we have all taken the old master’s security very seriously, and those in charge of his daily life are loyal to the Mo Family, so there shouldn’t be a problem. However, it seems we have underestimated those people’s methods."

Mo Yongjun didn’t understand and said, "I didn’t see anything particularly special about them either. Although they have significant influence in Western countries, when it comes to causing trouble in our Hua Country, they are not qualified."

"Yeah, Xiao Jun is right. Even if they wanted to target someone in our family, they wouldn’t go after the old master. It’s all of us who are out and about who could become their targets."

Mo Jinjun explained, "That’s the very cunning of them. They didn’t go after the easy targets but targeted the old master who was under strict protection. They wanted to show us that their methods are formidable and to instill a sense of awe in us towards them."

"Brother, you’ve said so much, but what exactly is the situation?"

Mo Jinjun’s younger brother, Mo Jincheng, asked with confusion.

Mo Jinjun sighed and said, "Everyone should have some understanding of Ji Yang’s medical skills. He has been able to cure many diseases, which is also why I invited him to treat the illness."

"Brother, there’s no need to mention Ji Yang’s abilities; we’ve all done our research, and it’s true he’s very strong. But what does this have to do with our family’s issues?"

Mo Jinjun looked at everyone and said, "After examining him, Ji Yang found that the old master’s body was not suffering from ordinary poisoning, but had been injected with a breath of air. To him, this breath is more powerful than Inner Qi."

"What?"

"I know about Inner Qi; it really exists. Some people with kung fu skills have truly cultivated such a thing within their bodies. But what is more powerful than Inner Qi?" Someone asked, baffled.

Mo Jinjun continued, "Ji Yang said he likes to read cultivation novels and, in his view, this breath is the True Yuan that is mentioned in those stories."

What?

The members of the Mo Family were shocked time and time again. Although they were at a level where they knew some secrets, the concept of True Yuan was still too fantastical and hard for them to accept.

Mo Jinjun stated, "Ji Yang said that it is a unique kind of breath of air. He has no way to deal with it and can only suppress it temporarily. At most, it will be uncontrollable in three to five months, so what we need to do now is figure out how to resolve this issue."
