Chapter 16

"What did you say?!" Wu Sen's face changed drastically. He didn't expect a nobody to dare speak to him like this. He was instantly enraged, grabbing a bottle and smashing it towards Zu Mo.

Everyone was shocked.

Zu Mo moved aside while holding the child, and the bottle smashed against the wall, shards and alcohol splattering everywhere.

How could he be hit by Wu Sen?

Then, Zu Mo took action.

Nobody could see how he did it clearly, but the solid wood round table cracked in half with a "crack," cups, plates, bowls, and chopsticks, along with soup and food, scattered all over the floor. Everyone quickly stood up to avoid the mess.

Zu Mo's figure had disappeared from the original spot. When he reappeared, he was standing on the opposite side, where Wu Sen had just been standing. Wu Sen, on the other hand, was sent flying, crashing through the partition wall of the private room and landing on the table in the next room.

That table was having hotpot, and a whole pot of boiling soup poured over him. He screamed and rolled around in pain, but after rolling for a while, he lay motionless on the ground, looking like he had let out all his breath.

This scene scared everyone, including the customers at the adjacent table.

Is this... still a human?

Chen Chao suddenly pointed at Zu Mo. "Are you... are you insane?!"

Zu Mo shook his head. "He's the insane one."

A dragon has its reverse scale, a wolf has its hidden claws. One who peeks at it shall be killed; one who touches it shall die!

Mo Jiao and Mo Xiao were his reverse scale and hidden claws.

Wu Sen could insult him, belittle him, and he wouldn't care at all.

But Wu Sen's mistake was that he shouldn't have insulted Mo Jiao, let alone threaten the safety of his own daughter.

Zu Mo paused and said, "Call an ambulance. He's not dead yet. With timely rescue, he might still survive."

Though he had murderous intent, he hadn't committed murder. His mind was calm. He knew it wasn't yet the time for bloodshed and chaos. If Wu Sen died, it would cause unnecessary trouble, so he only intended to give the other party a heavy lesson.

Chen Chao hurriedly contacted an ambulance and shouted at Zu Mo, "Zu Mo, don't leave!"

Zu Mo didn't leave. He stood there, comforting the child to sleep.

The little one wasn't frightened by the scene. Instead, she was a bit sleepy. She had seen too many people today, exhausting her energy, and had yawned several times already.

After a while, the ambulance arrived, followed by a police car.

It turned out that after Chen Chao called the ambulance, he also called the police.

Wu Sen was carried into the ambulance, while Zu Mo was requested to get into the police car to go back to the station for questioning.

By this time, the little one had fallen asleep, and Zu Mo didn't linger. He simply got into the car while holding the child.

Watching the car leave, Min Sang deeply regretted his actions. He felt he shouldn't have set up this situation today.

At this moment, Yun Haoran surprisingly comforted him, saying, "Boss, don't worry. Third brother will be fine. I believe everything will turn out well."

On the police car, Zu Mo's phone rang.

He asked the police officer if he could answer it.

The officer said yes.

After all, Zu Mo wasn't being arrested at the moment; he was just preparing to undergo questioning.

The caller ID showed "Mu Xue".

Seeing this name, Zu Mo remembered that he and Muhad agreed to treat his injuries tonight. He had planned to go after dinner, but now with everything that had happened...

Zu Mo answered the call. "Miss Su."

"Mr. Zu, where are you? I've asked Liu Ge to pick you up." Mu Xue's clear and pleasant voice came through the phone.

"Um, sorry Miss Su, I'm in the Jinbi District. I've run into a bit of trouble, so I'm afraid I won't be able to come over tonight..." Zu Mo apologized, feeling bad for canceling their appointment due to his own issues.

Mu Xue frowned on the other end of the phone. Changing plans at the last minute was a common tactic of scammers!

Initially, she thought of letting it go, letting the scammer do as he pleased. But then she thought otherwise. These days, she had been paying more attention to her grandfather's health. She had invited several wellknown medical experts from China to diagnose and treat him, but they all said they couldn't do much. Feeling anxious, she wanted to take her grandfather abroad for treatment. However, her grandfather was very stubborn and refused to go unless that Zu Mo came to treat him.

Mu Xue believed that although Zu Mo was skilled, he was still young. What could his medical skills achieve? Her grandfather was overly trusting of Zu Mo, afraid that the scammer had cast some kind of spell on him.

So she wanted to expose the scammer's tricks as soon as possible, so that her grandfather could listen to her and go abroad for treatment.

Changing plans at the last minute was also a trick of scammers. Let's start exposing them now!

"You've run into trouble? What happened? Can you tell me about it?" Mu Xue wanted to make sure Zu Mo had no excuses to avoid her. 

Zu Mo felt there was no harm in telling her, so he briefly explained everything that had just happened.

Mu Xue was taken aback. She hadn't expected such a situation to arise. At first, she thought Zu Mo was lying to her. After all, how could someone remain so calm and composed after being arrested for assault? She couldn't detect a hint of panic in his voice. However, she also felt that Zu Mo wouldn't just casually make up a story. Kun City was big enough for it to be easily verified if Wu Sen was indeed injured. She knew Wu Sen personally, being the heir of the Wei Long Group. If it was an ordinary person, it might be difficult to verify, but if it was Wu Sen, it would be easy.

"Mr. Zu, please wait for a moment. I'll try to handle this," Mu Xue said before hanging up the phone.

Then, she quickly made a few phone calls, thinking on her feet.

The police car was almost at the police station, and the gate of the station was already visible. At this moment, after the police officer sitting in the passenger seat received a call from the station chief, he glanced back at Zu Mo with a hint of strangeness in his eyes. He instructed the driver to pull over and then said to Zu Mo, "You can go now."
