Li Hongzhang replied stiffly, his mood extremely depressed.

His purpose in coming to Xiabei today is to snatch An Youyu, this talented young man, from Qi Bei.

Who would have thought that not only did they fail to steal An Youyu, but they also lost a fourth-level mathematician. It truly proves the saying, "Trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead."

At this moment, he didn't want to stay in Xiabei for even a second longer. He glanced at Lu Hongwei and Huang Hai and said, "Let's go back to the courtyard."

"Yes, Dean."

Lu Hongwei and Huang Hai could tell that the dean was in a bad mood, so they quickly nodded in agreement.

As the three of them reached the office door, Qi Bei's voice came from behind them.

"Don't rush off, you three. I'm planning to throw a welcome dinner for Xiao Ye at noon. Since we've run into each other, let's eat together."

This tactic of killing someone by attacking their spirit was executed flawlessly by Qi Bei.

Li Hongzhang snorted coldly without turning his head, "I am not fortunate enough to enjoy this meal!"

After saying that, he strode away.

Upon reaching the corridor, Li Hongzhang and his two companions bumped into Xia Lingrou, who had been standing there for quite some time.

The three were familiar with Xia Lingrou. Although she was not an official member of Q-numbers, she was a headache for the entire School of Mathematics.

Having taken control of Q's business, she has recently snatched many large orders from the School of Mathematics.

Xia Lingrou met Li Hongzhang's unfriendly gaze with a gentle smile, glanced down at her watch, and said, "Dean Li, you're leaving so soon? You've only been here for a little over ten minutes."

Li Hongzhang snorted coldly and continued walking forward past Xia Lingrou.

Xia Lingrou leaned against the corridor railing. "Dean Li, there were four of you when you came, but you left as three?"

These words were like a knife to Li Hongzhang's heart, followed by salt. He paused, turned back to look at Xia Lingrou, and his gaze was extremely hostile.

"If my husband finds out that Dean Li is looking at me like that, he'll definitely beat you up."

"you……"

Seeing that Li Hongzhang was about to lose his temper, Lu Hongwei and Huang Hai quickly pulled him back and whispered a few words of persuasion.

Li Hongzhang ignored Xia Lingrou and turned to walk towards the stairwell.

Today was the most frustrating day of his life!

Meanwhile, in the office.

Xu Yichun laughed and patted the sofa, "That felt so good! I've finally gotten rid of all the pent-up anger from years ago, it's so satisfying!"

Although the three people sitting next to him didn't react as strongly, the broad smiles on their faces couldn't lie.

Ye Hongjun smiled sheepishly, "Four brothers, why don't you give me a good scolding? What happened back then was indeed my fault..."

"Stop!"

Qi Bei interrupted Ye Hongjun, "You certainly bear responsibility for what happened back then, but I bear even greater responsibility. Alright, it's all in the past. We're all very happy that you're back now."

After saying that, he gave the four people opposite him a look, and they immediately nodded in unison, welcoming Ye Hongjun's return.

Lin Mo, who was just watching the show, clicked his tongue, a hint of regret in his expression.

Just then, Qi Bei noticed his expression and kicked him under the coffee table in an annoyed tone, "What's with that expression, kid?"

Lin Mo spread his hands, "Professor Qi, I thought you were going to have a fight with Dean Li. I even prepared some words of encouragement, but you ended it so hastily, which was very disappointing."

Qi Bei: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Not satisfied at all?

This Lin Mo, he really dares to speak his mind!

"A fight?"

Qi Bei glared and said, "Kid, don't think I won't curse you!"

"scold me?"

Lin Mo sighed dismissively and tossed the contract onto the coffee table. "In that case, Mr. Qi, give me a bank account number."

Qi Bei: "?"

Seeing that Qi Bei was a little confused, Lin Mo kindly reminded him, "I will transfer the 100 million yuan penalty to you. Although 100 million yuan is a lot, fortunately, I was born into a good family, so I can still afford it."

Qi Bei: "..."

Seeing that Qi Bei remained unmoved, Lin Mo blinked. "Why aren't you saying anything? Don't you like talking?"

Qi Bei opened his mouth and complained to An Youyu, "Girl, aren't you going to do anything about this kid? Look how arrogant he's become!"

An Youyu tugged at Lin Mo's clothes, "Say less."

Lin Mo yawned. "The show's over, time to go."

Before he could even get up, Qi Bei quickly called out to him, "Where are you going? It's already noon, we agreed to have lunch together."

Lin Mo glanced at Ye Hongjun, shook his head and declined, saying, "Xiaoyuer and I are not familiar with Academician Ye. Since you are going to host a welcome dinner for Academician Ye, we will not join in the fun."

What does "joining in the fun" mean?

Qi Bei stared wide-eyed. "Xiao Ye is just a supporting character; An Ya Tou is the main character."

Chapter 656 Threatening Words

"Xiao Ye is just a supporting character; An Ya Tou is the main character."

Ye Hongjun: "..."

No, is it really okay to say something like that to his face?

His face is also his face!

"is it?"

"nonsense!"

Seeing that Lin Mo seemed a little skeptical, Qi Bei nodded firmly, "Let me put it this way, if Xiao Ye really helps the School of Mathematics poach An Ya Tou, he will never be able to return to Q Mathematics, because I will never forgive him!"

Ye Hongjun said with a pained expression, "Teacher, can you please give me some face?"

"Things may be hard to hear, but what truth is ever pleasant to hear?"

"..."

Seeing Ye Hongjun's embarrassed expression brought smiles to the faces of Xu Yichun and the other three.

Old Qi's mouth is as sharp as ever!

"Eating is fine, but we need to find a secluded place."

Lin Mo pointed to himself and An Youyu, "We've been in the spotlight lately, which makes us easy to be recognized, and that's troublesome."

"That's easy to say."

With a single glance from Qi Bei, Xu Yichun immediately understood, took out her phone, and walked outside.

……

An hour later, the group arrived by car at a manor restaurant near the western suburbs.

Unlike the private rooms in ordinary restaurants, the private rooms here have been upgraded to detached villas.

Stealth is top-notch!

After entering the villa, Lin Mo clicked his tongue and whispered to An Youyu, "Old Qi is really generous. This lunch alone will probably cost at least 100,000 yuan."

"So expensive?"

An Youyu took off her mask, her face showing surprise. The next second, she muttered to herself, "Then I must eat more."

Lin Mo was amused by her and pinched her smooth, pretty face in an annoyed tone. "The family dinner last night was truly extravagant, but I didn't see you eat much."

"Different."

An Youyu tilted her head, fiddling with the sash at her waist. "With elders around, I definitely have to be more reserved. I just want to leave them with a good impression."

"You've made an incredibly good impression on them."

Lin Mo gently instructed, "When you visit your maternal grandparents in the future, don't be reserved. Just treat it as your own home. Be the same way you are at home there."

Finally, he bent down and whispered in the girl's ear, "Your grandparents will only be happy if you treat the Lin Family Manor as your home."

An Youyu blushed and pushed Lin Mo away. She glanced at Qi Bei and the others walking ahead and warned softly, "You're not allowed to get this close outside, understand?"

Lin Mo picked at his ear. "What did you say?"

"..."

With a mixture of shyness and helplessness in her eyes, An Youyu glared at Lin Mo before quickly walking forward.

In the spacious living room, there is a long dining table that can accommodate at least twenty or thirty people at the same time. The simple and luxurious style of the decoration, combined with the melodious piano music, makes people involuntarily think of one word.

grace!

Before the others arrived, all the members of Q number had already arrived.

Hearing footsteps, the group of people at the table all looked towards the entrance.

Xia Lingrou stood up to greet him and quickly came to Qi Bei. "Teacher, you've finally arrived. Everything has been arranged."

Qi Bei smiled and nodded, then turned around to look at An Youyu behind him and waved to her.

Seeing this, An Youyu paused and glanced at Lin Mo furtively.

She was a little scared of the scene.

So many people, so many strangers...

Lin Mo noticed the girl's pleading look, quickly stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and brought her to Qi Bei's side. "Mr. Qi, please excuse me. The child is young and inexperienced. Let me stay with her."

Qi Bei's lips twitched as he glanced at their clasped hands, feeling utterly helpless.

But what can we do?

"cough--"
