These seven greeting cards had varied handwriting. It was obvious that they were written by a child. From babbling to slowly learning how to write, towards the end, the handwriting actually had developed some backbone. Just by looking at it, one could see that the child who wrote the greeting cards had a wish from the bottom of his heart.

“Uncle Mo Hao, Happy Birthday. I hope you will be happy every day.”

“Uncle Mo Hao, Happy Birthday. You’ve grown a lot of wrinkles in the past year. I hope you can smile less so that you will be younger.”

…

“Uncle Mo Hao, Happy Birthday. I rarely see you these days. Are you very busy?”

As he looked, Mo Hao actually felt tears welling up in his eyes. After a while, he forced himself to say, “What do you mean by throwing them away?”

After a pause, he asked again, “Did you do it on purpose?”

When he met Mo Hao’s probing gaze, the assistant remained unmoved. He only adjusted his glasses, “I’m just reminding you that you’re a rare kind person. I don’t know who exactly said things to you that gave you thoughts that you shouldn’t have. I just want to say that you should wake up and not do something that you’ll regret.”

Mo Hao looked at his assistant. One moment, he thought of Mo Ting’s appearance when he was in his arms when he was young. The next moment, he thought of Mo Ting’s swift and decisive methods. After a long while, he suddenly stopped and leaned on the sofa, he said in a low voice, “Yes, what good will this do me?”

Coincidentally, at this moment, a call was made to Mo Hao’s cell phone.

Mo Hao casually picked up the call. He heard the middle-aged man on the other end of the line ask with a smile, “Sixth brother, how’s the situation? What is Young Ting’s arrangement?”

Seventh Uncle Mo, an old loach. He was a slippery one.

Mo Hao told him all about Mo Ting’s plans just now. In the end, he even advised him, “Don’t be like how you were in the past. Mo Ting has decided not to support idle people in the future. You better not become an idle person and be kicked out of the company in the future.”

Mo Hao thought that he had put in all his effort in saying these words and that it wouldn’t be a problem for to convince him. However, Seventh Uncle Mo didn’t seem to think so. There was a momentary pause on the other end. It was as if he had paused for a moment before saying, “Sixth brother, let’s stop talking about me anymore. Let’s talk about our eldest nephew.”

The moment the words left his mouth, Mo Hao’s sixth sense frantically started warning him. However, it was as if Mo Hao himself couldn’t hear it. He chuckled and asked, “Eldest nephew? What’s wrong with that kid?”

The voice on the other side was soft, there was a slightly bewitching tone to it as he said, “Although our eldest nephew has loved to play a little these past few years, he has never once delayed his official business. The two of us know it, but the others don’t. Don’t end up being kicked out of the company by Young Ting as some idle person.”

These words could not be said to be without malicious intent.

Mo Hao only felt the root of his teeth itch, and then he fiercely sucked on it. The intense pain woke him up from the situation just now. Mo Hao was somewhat at a loss. He turned his head to look at his assistant, wondering what had happened to him just now.

However, the assistant only frowned, and his expression was very ugly.

When Mo Hao picked up the phone again and listened to the muttering on the other end, it was as if he heard some heavenly music. He was actually a little infatuated. Fortunately, the pain in his gums just now was a constant reminder to him.

After chatting enthusiastically, Mo Hao hung up the phone and shifted his gaze to his assistant. “What were we talking about just now?”

“It seemed like…” the assistant deliberated for a moment. “It seemed like you were talking about working together to get rid of the eldest young master and elect the young master as the person in charge of the Mo family.”

The fruit platter was accidentally knocked to the ground by Mo Hao. He raised his head in a daze. Mo Hao looked at his assistant in disbelief, as if he had just heard something incredible.

“Just now, were we really talking about that?”

After receiving a definite response from his assistant, Mo Hao angrily rebuked, “I knew that this fellow doesn’t have any good intentions. He’s always slippery and always acts like he’s good friends with everyone. How could he take the initiative to call me? And even stand up for me?”

The phone was placed on the coffee table. Mo Hao and his assistant stared at it, their eyes filled with disbelief.

“Tell me, what happened to me just now?”

After a pause, his assistant probed, “Could it be that you were hypnotized?”

After being told what he was thinking, Mo Hao struggled, “Was I really?”

His assistant shrugged, meaning that if he wasn’t, then what happened just now?

Mo Hao became even more dispirited. His fat body curled into a ball, “If that’s really the case, then my previous thoughts were very likely hypnotized.”

A moment later, he suddenly regained his energy. He pointed at the phone and cursed, “Seventh Uncle Mo, I knew you had bad intentions. You still want to scheme against me?”

However, the assistant’s words made his hair stand on end.

The assistant’s expression was indifferent and his voice was very low. He said, “How can you be sure that the person on the other end of the phone is Seventh Uncle Mo? Or, how can you be sure that he wasn’t hypnotized as well?”

Mo Hao’s eyes widened. A scene suddenly appeared in his mind. He was smashing a cup on his own son and even said that he wanted to find Chi Xiao a lover?

Could he have been hypnotized since long ago?
