Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 672 - 681: Yet Another Few Children (49th Update!)
However, speaking of which, it's been almost half a year since the wedding; it's about time for a pregnancy. Elder Mo is so eager to hold a great-grandson that he's nearly blown up Ye Ling and Mo Xing's phones.
If it weren't for his status getting in the way, he would have probably stormed Donghai City by now, personally ordering the young couple to make a baby.
This old man, purified by the trials of life and death, is capable of anything; he doesn't care about mundane opinions at all. Right now, all he knows is that he wants to hold a great-grandson or great-granddaughter.
"Hehe, Uncle, let me tell you, today is truly a double blessing. Si Qing is also pregnant."
Ye Ling said with a secretive smile, and Mo Zidao instantly brightened up, slapping his thigh in delight, "Really? Haha, looks like the old man will be overjoyed, beyond words."
"Definitely thrilled. In a few days, they're coming over with mom and dad. He said he doesn't feel comfortable staying alone in the Imperial Capital and wants to move to Donghai City for a while."
Mo Siqing stuck out her tongue playfully, while Mo Zidao was taken aback, "What? My dear father, he should consider it; every time he moves, it scares the hell out of the people below."
Mo Zidao was right. Elder Mo is one of the Republic's great and remaining leaders. Every action he takes sends ripples through countless people's nerves.
But there's nothing to be done; his will is as stubborn as a mule, unchangeable by anyone—a single-mindedly stubborn donkey, as the great leader had once described Elder Mo.
"Oh right, Uncle, I saw that the gate's barriers have been replaced with glass. Who changed them?"
Ye Ling asked curiously, and Mo Siqing perked up her ears to listen, but Mo Zidao just shook his head, "I don't know, I was in the Imperial Capital for a meeting a few days ago, and when I got back, they had been changed."
"A meeting in the Imperial Capital? Hehe, Uncle, tell me, are you getting a promotion?"
Ye Ling chuckled, aware that Mo Zidao was just one step away from becoming one of the nation's leaders. One more step forward would mean reaching an utterly fearful peak.
Mo Zidao nodded, "Don't go spreading it; the documents haven't been released yet. I haven't even told Mo Xing. That guy can't keep a secret to save his life; it would look bad if it got out."
In fact, Mo Zidao was just being low-key and adhering to the doctrine of the mean. Otherwise, who would dare to touch a member of the Mo Family when Elder Mo was hale and hearty?

At noon, Mo Zidao and his group drove to the renowned restaurant, while Mo Xing, accompanied by Li Ke, had already reserved a table for an early meal.
At the dining table, Ye Ling also shared the good news about Mo Siqing with Mo Xing, and both men laughed heartily. Were they all keeping secrets, waiting to spring a surprise?
It wasn't just Mo Siqing who was pregnant. Lin Yuqing and Liu Qiao'er were also expecting, with Shen Yuexin being over five months along and already showing.
In other words, in less than a year, the Ye Family estate would be bustling with a few more little ones.
As the meal came to an end, Ye Ling called Mo Xing aside, and the two walked to a secluded corner of the restaurant. They looked at each other and simultaneously uttered a sentence.
"Jiang You has appeared!"
"Someone is trying to frame Uncle!"
Both were taken aback, but Ye Ling just waved his hand dismissively. The appearance of Jiang You was not a significant threat to them now; they would deal with him when the opportunity arose.
Instead, it was Mo Xing who, upon hearing someone had harmed his father, instantly became frantic, like a cornered rabbit, grinding his teeth furiously, "Damn it, who is it! What whispers have you heard?"
"I didn't hear any damn whispers. Someone has set up a Great Formation, gathering all the malicious energy around my uncle. This formation might seem harmless at first, but over time, it will lead to serious trouble."
Ye Ling spoke with utmost seriousness. The swirling malicious energy was not just a health issue; it could greatly affect the family's fortunes and positions.
"What! Such a thing is actually happening? No, I must call Tianhao right away to have him come over, damn it, if this young master catches them, I will kill them!"
Mo Xing was so angry that his teeth were itching, but Ye Ling held him back, "I've already made the call. Don't rush into anything. Go check one thing for me—if you can find out who replaced the gate's barrier arm, then we'll know who the mastermind behind all this is."
Mo Xing kept nodding, and after chain-smoking three cigarettes, he finally returned to the room, for fear that he wouldn't be able to compose himself and his father would notice something was amiss.
After returning to the room, they didn't sit for long before they had to leave—Mo Zidao had another meeting to attend. Ye Ling told Mo Siqing and Li Ke to go back first; he and Mo Xing would deal with the Great Formation of malicious energy.
Otherwise, the longer they waited, the more disadvantaged Mo Zidao would become. And that malicious energy wasn't something to be trifled with.
Of course, Ye Ling had a way to deal with it, which was fairly simple: just activate the Nine Nether Emperor Technique to Devour all the energy. But he couldn't stand guard at the government's doorway like a sentry all day long.
"Mo Xing, you send people to investigate now. I'll call Shenfeng and have the Bureau of Superpowers get involved as well. You go pick up Tianhao, and in the meantime, I'll head to the company and wait for you there."
Ye Ling had Mo Xing take him to the company, which was the Han Sheng-led Reborn Group!
Reborn Group had been open for half a year now and had caused quite a stir at its inception. Mo Zidao himself had come to cut the ribbon, and Donghai City's top young masters all showed up to support the event.
Instantly, Reborn Group shot to the pinnacle of Donghai City's financial world. Under the public spotlight, the company was the most likely to break through at a critical juncture.
In this half year, Han Sheng had fully utilized his genius talents. His formidable business acumen allowed this billion-dollar group to triple its value in just six months.
The market value of Reborn Group had now reached thirty billion, and Ye Ling refused to go public. He wanted to emulate the Ross Clan—his wealth only subject to speculation by outsiders and not known in detail.
He didn't need financing; he just needed to quietly make money. No matter the amount, at least he was the one who had the final say.
Upon entering Reborn Group, everyone was hard at work. When some employees saw Ye Ling arrive, they quickly stood up to greet him. They knew very well that their boss, who seldom came to the office, had a powerful background.
In the chairman's office, Han Sheng was looking intently at some documents with his head down. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and he called out "Come in" without lifting his head.
"Tsk, tsk, our chairman really is hard-working. Can't you just get a secretary to help you with this stuff?"
Han Sheng looked up at Ye Ling and shook his head with a wry smile, "You're the exact opposite, having become a hands-off boss. I have to be diligent, don't I? If I mess up your group, you'd have my head, wouldn't you?"
"Heh heh, I wouldn't go as far as eating you, but at the very least you'd be supporting all of us for the second half of our lives."
Ye Ling chuckled, while Han Sheng just shook his head. His boss really knew how to live—it was like he was the very embodiment of not sticking to one's proper duties.
