Chapter 1178 - How Would They Agree to This?

Both of them were famous for being ruthless. The difference between them was that Gu Qingcheng was steady and calm, whereas Cen Mo was flamboyant!

Now, one was sending men to assassinate, whilst the other offered 50 million to anyone who could kill the other party. There were people in their circle that were hoping for both parties to suffer losses from this conflict so that they could benefit.

There were even people who had enmity with Gu Qingcheng and Cen Mo taking in bets, allowing people to gamble on who was going to die first between Gu Qingcheng and Cen Mo.

These people took in bets in a brazen manner. While Gu Qingcheng didn’t show any reaction, Cen Mo had, in loud fashion, asked his trusty aide Saihand to place a bet of 10 million, betting Gu Qingcheng would be the one to die first!

One could see how much Cen Mo wanted Gu Qingcheng dead.

But someone also pointed out that those teams by Gu Qingcheng’s side were all lethal weapons, so Cen Mo would be fixed to death by Gu Qingcheng in the end…

Cen Mo had always been arrogant. It was said that arrogant people don’t come to a good end, and dogs that bite don’t bark!

Gu Qingcheng was that kind of dog, the kind that didn’t bark. But when he did bite, it was a lethal one.

Whilst everyone was wildly speculating, no one expected that Cen Mo would be so impudent and arrogant to strike at the end of February…

Coincidentally, Gu Qingcheng also struck at the same time!

Gu Qingcheng was out at sea, discussing business on a cruise. In such a business setting, the rule was that one wasn’t allowed to carry any weapons or bring along any assassins. No one expected Cen Mo’s men to strike the cruise at the harbor… This even made the news in Sri Lanka.

Moreover, Saihand was the one personally bringing his men to kill off Gu Qingcheng.

Coincidentally, while Saihand took his men to kill Gu Qingcheng, Gu Qingcheng’s men were successful in getting to Cen Mo as well. Cen Mo suffered grave injuries and was sent to a highly confidential private hospital. However, the fact that Cen Mo was hospitalized with his back full of blood was still seen by someone and exposed.

Everyone in the industry was shocked!

One died completely on the cruise. Saihand was there to kill Gu Qingcheng, not to foster greater enmity, so after he killed Gu Qingcheng, he didn’t touch the people doing business with Gu Qingcheng. Right before those people’s eyes, he beat Gu Qingcheng up viciously, and he only left after pouring gasoline on the ship! None of Gu Qingcheng’s men who went with him survived.

Gu Qingcheng’s business partners couldn’t bear to see this, so they shifted Gu Qingcheng’s burnt corpse onto the shore so that his corpse could be left whole.

The other was hospitalized for severe injuries, and it was uncertain whether he would survive. Someone said he definitely wouldn’t survive this!

All of a sudden, two major forces in the industry collapsed.

Someone forecasted that things would get messy on Gu Qingcheng’s side, with an internal struggle for power. It was possible his organization would disintegrate, and even if someone took over Gu Qingcheng’s position, he might not be able to hold the fort.

Someone else said that Gu Qingcheng was backed by a Mr. Moral, and if Mr. Moral personally came out and held the fort, things wouldn’t get out of hand on Gu Qingcheng’s side!

But on Cen Mo’s side, he had seized power to get to where he was today, hence plenty of his subordinates resisted his authority… Moreover, they were eager to seize the throne for themselves, so it was certain that things in Morocco would get messy!

But shortly after, news leaked that Mr. Moral was actually killed by Gu Qingcheng, and the latter had seized power to become their leader!

Now, those watching the fun were even happier, saying that things on Gu Qingcheng’s side were about to get messy!

It was okay for things to get chaotic on Gu Qingcheng’s side. Many people were eagerly waiting for the opportunity to poach Gu Qingcheng’s elite teams. They weren’t greedy, even if they were to just get one team… it would be like giving wings to a tiger.

Wasn’t Gu Qingcheng so powerful and influential all these years simply because of these elite teams?

Everyone was eyeing eagerly, but they didn’t see things get chaotic on Gu Qingcheng’s side, and several days later, someone actually saw Saihand appear in Russia…

What signal was this?

Everyone’s hearts were beating wildly in anticipation.

Subsequently, Saihand looked as if he was going to stay in Russia for good. Plus, while Gu Qingcheng’s business partners were vexed over this, he took over Gu Qingcheng’s business.

Now, everyone understood. Cen Mo was wildly ambitious to begin with… Now, he even swallowed Gu Qingcheng whole!

All sorts of news was in the air. Later, it was known with certainty that Saihand took over all of Gu Qingcheng’s business in Russia. Also, Gu Qingcheng’s capable aide, Sheng Kang, who had been helping him tend to matters at his bogus company, disentangled himself from the business after reaching some sort of deal with Saihand.

After Sheng Kang disentangled himself from this affair, someone asked Sheng Kang what he was preparing to do!

Sheng Kang said he wanted to take news of Gu Qingcheng’s death back to China and inform Gu Qingcheng’s good friends, Fu Huai’an and the rest. Also… Gu Qingcheng had an unfulfilled wish, and he was going to help Gu Qingcheng fulfill it.

When the dust finally settled, everyone said that the ambitious Cen Mo… indeed did something that displayed his ambitions this time, replacing Gu Qingcheng!

However, with Cen Mo’s life on the line now, his trusty aide Saihand was the one tending to these matters!

Many people had placed their focus on Saihand, feeling that for Saihand to be working alongside a ruthless person like Cen Mo, Saihand must be a ruthless person himself!

With Cen Mo’s chances of survival unclear as of now, Saihand boldly and resolutely took over Gu Qingcheng’s business, whilst also continuing to maintain his existing business in Morocco. If Saihand had treacherous intentions, killing Cen Mo would be a piece of cake for him.

Hence, many people started sucking up to Saihand. There were also people instigating Saihand to replace Cen Mo. In response, Saihand’s face remained cold, and he neither replied nor rebuked, making others unable to fathom his thinking.

It was also because Saihand gained control of Gu Qingcheng’s past elite teams that those people eagerly waiting to pounce on him in Morocco dared not make a move, fearing they might have their families killed in their attempt to wrestle power from him.

Those in Morocco dared not trifle with Saihand, and they even fawned on Saihand, simply hoping things could remain status quo!

Who knew, in a sweeping manner, Saihand declared he was going to reform things in Morocco!

Such a reform directly threatened the interests of those elders, so how would they agree to this?

Like what they did to Cen Mo, they had wanted to impose their ideas on Saihand using their seniority. But who knew that Saihand was even more ruthless than Cen Mo. That very night, one of the elders died quietly.

At the thought of the elite teams under Gu Qingcheng, the next day, despite their unwillingness, they accepted the reform.

Over this period of time, Cen Mo, who was “severely injured and about to die”, steadily recuperated in the hospital.

With the act of Gu Qingcheng faking his death, Cen Mo treated the problem of the elders’ self-conceited attitudes priding themselves on their seniority at the root!

Looking at what little injury he suffered, Cen Mo felt that it wasn’t a big deal.

While Cen Mo was busy taking over Gu Qingcheng’s business and dealing with internal affairs in his organization, Gu Qingcheng had already reached Venice and was living according to Jacob Bellucci’s habits without deviation.
