Chapter 17: Money and goods settled, each gets what they need.

The next morning, sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains.

Lu Xingyao woke up first.

She turned to look at Chen Mo, reached out and touched his brow bone, sliding down his nose, her fingertips stopping at his lips. Remembering what happened last night, her face flushed slightly.

"woke up?"

Chen Mo did not open his eyes.

She withdrew her fingers and didn't say anything.

Chen Mo opened his eyes, reached out and pulled her close, kissing her on the forehead.

Lu Xingyao didn't dodge, but leaned against his chest and spoke after a while.

"Chen Mo, what are we?"

He didn't reply, but instead played with her hair with his fingers.

She looked up, her eyes a little red:

"I'm asking you, what are we?"

"What do you think it is?"

He spoke casually.

"I have no idea."

She bit her lip.

"I want to know if you're serious or just playing around."

Chen Mo smiled.

"You didn't ask that last night."

Lu Xingyao blushed even more and gave him a push.

"Be serious."

"I'm very serious."

He sat up, leaned against the headboard, and lit a cigarette.

What kind of answer do you want?

Lu Xingyao was stunned.

What answer does she want?

Do you want him to say "Let's be together"?

How can I get him to say "You're my girlfriend"?

She opened her mouth, but no words came out.

Chen Mo exhaled a puff of smoke and turned to look at her.

"Xingyao, you're a smart person, there's no need to spell things out."

Tears streamed down her face.

She knew what she wanted, and she also knew he wouldn't give it to her.

Lu Xingyao sat up, with her back to him.

"You're such a jerk!"

"Um."

Chen Mo flicked the cigarette ash into the ashtray.

"Anything else?"

She turned to look at him, her face streaked with tears, too angry to speak.

"you……"

She wiped her face.

"Do you think this looks cool?"

Chen Mo thought for a moment.

"Average handsome."

She grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, but he caught it and put it aside.

She stared at him for a few seconds, tears still falling, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

She quickly suppressed her anger, got out of bed with a stern face, and started to put on her clothes after pulling off her robe.

My hands were shaking so badly that I buttoned one wrong and had to unbutton it again.

Chen Mo leaned against the headboard and looked at her without saying a word.

After getting dressed, she stood by the bed and looked down at him, her eyes still red.

"I'm leaving!"

"Um."

She waited two seconds, thinking he would say something, but Chen Mo didn't say anything.

She turned and left, opening the door, her high heels clicking heavily on the carpet.

He paused at the door, didn't turn around, and closed the door.

Chen Mo finished his cigarette, picked up his phone, found Lu Xingyao's chat window, and transferred 100,000 yuan to her.

No message was written, but the transfer itself speaks volumes.

The message was sent without a red exclamation mark in front of it.

He stared at the screen for a while, but there was no response. He then exited the chat window and put his phone down.

Lu Xingyao stood at the elevator entrance, tears falling again.

She took out her phone to send him a message, but a transfer notification popped up in the chat box first.

She clicked on it; it was 100,000 yuan.

My finger hovered over the screen, wanting to tap back, but I hesitated for a long time and didn't tap it.

Leaning against the elevator wall, I put my phone away, wiped my face, and took a deep breath.

The elevator doors opened, and she stepped inside and pressed the button for the first floor.

Before the door closed, she glanced at the door at the end of the corridor.

"asshole."

She cursed.

Chen Mo took a shower and came out to receive a message from Lin Yue:

"Brother Mo, are you up yet? I'm downstairs at your hotel, I brought you some coffee."

"Get up, wait for me, I'll be right down."

Lin Yue stood in the lobby, holding two cups of coffee. When he saw Chen Mo come out of the elevator, he quickly went to greet him.

"Good morning, Brother Mo."

Chen Mo took the coffee and glanced at Lin Yue.

His eyes were bloodshot and red, with deep, dark bags under his eyes. His hair was messy and his T-shirt was full of wrinkles.

"Are you still awake or did you just wake up?"

"I'm not asleep."

Lin Yue scratched his head and chuckled.

"I'm so excited! Do you know how popular your video was?"

"Know."

Chen Mo patted him on the shoulder and walked out.

"Let's talk as we walk."

Bangkok mornings are unbearably hot; the sun feels like it's being roasted alive as soon as it comes out.

Chen Mo stood at the door, took a sip of coffee, and watched the traffic on the street.

Lin Yue stood to the side, holding back for a long time, before finally speaking up.

"Brother Mo, there's something I want to discuss with you."

"Speak, what is it?"

"Your video has almost 60 million views now."

Lin Yue took out his phone, swiped a few times, and handed the screen over.

"My Douyin inbox is flooded with private messages, all asking for my contact information. Modeling agencies, talent scouts, and a bunch of women, take a look."

Chen Mo glanced at the phone, didn't answer, and smiled:

"So many?"

"you do not say."

Lin Yue put the phone away.

"And those clips from the plane, I've edited them all out. You expose those two foreigners in the video. If that gets released, it'll definitely go viral more than the smoking one. I wanted to ask your opinion, is it okay to release it?"

"Stop sending it."

Chen Mo took a sip of coffee.

Sending out that kind of thing will cause a lot of trouble.

"Okay, then I won't send it."

Lin Yue nodded, "I'll listen to you."

"But you can keep it."

Chen Mo glanced at him.

"We'll talk about it when we need it."

Lin Yue's eyes lit up and he chuckled.

"I understand, I understand."

The two walked side by side for a while, and then Lin Yue asked again:

"What about all the private messages I receive? Lots of people are asking for my contact information. Should I reply or not?"

"How do you want to reply?"

Chen Mo countered with a question.

"I told you you didn't want to go public? Or that you didn't do these things?"

"Okay, you handle it."

Chen Mo finished his coffee, crumpled the paper cup, and threw it into the trash can.

"Just don't give my contact information to anyone."

"That's definitely not possible."

Lin Yue quickly expressed his opinion.

"Don't worry about that, I'll keep my mouth shut."

Chen Mo glanced at him.

How many followers does your Douyin account have now?

Lin Yue scratched his head, a little embarrassed:

"Ninety-three hundred thousand, it increased by four hundred thousand last night."

"It's rising quite fast."

Chen Mo nodded. "Not bad."

"Mainly because you're handsome."

Lin Yue chuckled.

"I'm just jumping on the bandwagon."

"You have to have the skills to ride the wave of popularity."

Chen Mo patted him on the shoulder.

What are your plans for Bangkok these next few days?

"Nothing much, just shooting some footage and wandering around."

"Then come with me for a few days."

Chen Mo walked towards the side of the street.

"Depending on your performance, if it's suitable, I'll help you make some money."

He mainly wanted to hire a errand boy so he could run errands for him.

As for making money?

We definitely need to offer some small incentives, otherwise who would be willing to run errands for free?

Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly as he realized what was happening:

"Okay, okay, whatever you say, Brother Mo. I'll follow you, I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

Chen Mo hailed a taxi and gave the address of the old town. Lin Yue, sitting in the passenger seat, turned to look at him:

"Brother Mo, what are we doing in the old town?"

"I need to ask a friend to take care of something."

"oh."

Lin Yue didn't ask any more questions.

After driving for half an hour, the car stopped at the entrance of an alley in the old town.

Chen Mo told Lin Yue to wait in the car, then got out and went inside.

Chen Mo knocked on the iron gate three times, and footsteps came from inside.

The door opened a crack, and Akai peeked out, only to see his face turn pale.

"Brother, you've arrived."

He quickly opened the door and stepped aside to let Chen Mo in.

The two henchmen, their hands bandaged, instinctively took a step back when they saw Chen Mo.

Ah Kai rubbed his hands together and smiled apologetically: "Brother, I was wrong yesterday. I didn't recognize your worth. What do you want? I'll give you a discount, no, I'll give you the cost price."

Chen Mo stood at the doorway and scanned the area: "Gatling gun, do you have one?"

Ah Kai's smile froze on his face:

"Brother, aren't you making things difficult for me? Gatling guns are nowhere to be found in all of Bangkok. Machine guns are alright, M60s and M249s, we can get them, but it'll take time."

"how long?"

"Three days."

Ah Kai thought for a moment, "My boss has connections; I need his approval."

"When can I see your boss?"

Ah Kai took out his phone: "I'm going to make a call, please wait a moment."

He went to a corner, lowered his voice, spoke a string of Thai, hung up the phone, and returned with a more confident expression.

"Brother, my boss said we can meet tonight. But he has a strange temper, so please don't take it personally."

Send me the address.

Chen Mo turned and walked out.

"Brother, wait a minute."

Ah Kai caught up with him, pulled a business card from his pocket, and handed it to him with both hands. "This is my boss's business card. Eight o'clock tonight, this address. Just tell him my name when you get there."

Chen Mo took it, glanced at it, stuffed it into his pocket, and patted A-Kai on the shoulder: "Okay, see you tonight."

Akai was stunned, not expecting Chen Mo to pat him on the shoulder. He could only nod and say, "Okay, okay, see you tonight."

Chen Mo returned to the car, where Lin Yue was looking down at his phone. Seeing him return, Lin Yue quickly put it away: "Brother Mo, are you done?"

"Okay, all done." Chen Mo leaned back in his chair and gave the hotel address. "Go back and rest for a bit, I have things to do tonight."

"Okay."

Lin Yue responded.
