Mo Zhi sprang onto his feet and gave Mo Xicheng a warning look. “You have no proof, so you’d better watch what you say! How would I know where the company funds are? If you’re so capable, you can go and find out yourself. And although the company is making investments everywhere, we are just taking from one project to fund another. Did you really think that the company really has so much money? Most of them are loans from banks. What do you know? Talking rubbish like that!”
With an icy snort, he turned to walk out of the office.
Staring at him, Mo Xicheng said, “One week. I’m giving you one week. If the missing funds are not back in place then, don’t blame me for taking strong measures.”
Mo Zhi halted. He turned back to look at Mo Xicheng. He lowered his head and squinted.
With another icy snort, he walked away, leaving Mo Xicheng standing alone in the office.
Mo Xicheng narrowed his eyes.
He walked out of the office.
There was no direct proof that Mo Zhi had embezzled company funds. And even if they pursued this with the finance department, there was no way they could come up with any proof.
But as long as the act had been committed, then for sure there would be tracks left behind.
He didn’t want to completely end his relationship with Mo Zhi, so he had threatened him instead.
If the man was smart enough, he would sell the stocks and shares on hand and return the money. And if he didn’t take heed, then they would have to fight.
Mo Xicheng sighed deeply at this thought and hung his head.

Mo Zhi walked away from Mo Xicheng and got into the elevator.
The moment the elevator door shut behind him, the look of arrogance he had put up in front of Mo Xicheng disappeared. He turned pale and became nervous.
Immediately, he picked up his cell phone and dialed Yao Lili’s number. “Mom, what’s the situation with the stocks and shares that we bought?”
The woman sighed and said, “They fell for another two points.”
“What?”
“I- I didn’t know that would happen either. A few days ago, this company’s stocks were still skyrocketing and then suddenly, it stopped and fell sharply.”
Mo Zhi said, “Well if we sold it now, we’d be making a big loss.”
“That’s right. If we sell it now, we’ll lose a lot of money. The analysts are explaining it to me now. Did you know that we bought it when the price peaked? At the time, it was ten dollars a share and now it’s dropped to six dollars a share. We have to put more money into these shares.”
Mo Zhi was taken aback and remarked, “Why give them more money?”
Yao Lili explained, “We don’t have a choice. We bought the stock at its peak price, but it looks like it might go back up again. If we put more money in now, we can regain our initial investment when it’s around eight dollars. So as long as the stock price hits eight dollars, we won’t make a loss. Or even if it goes back up to seven dollars, we would cut our losses.”
That was how things worked with stocks and shares. Sometimes to reduce the loss, one had to keep investing. In the end, that could become a bottomless pit.
Right now, Mo Zhi furrowed his brow.
Yao Lili asked, “Do you think you access more funds?”
Mo Zhi sighed deeply and said, “We’re expecting a payment coming in from one of our projects in another day or two. Let me see then!”
“Uh huh, but you have to be careful not to arouse suspicion.”
Mo Zhi nodded and replied, “I know, but this morning it seemed like Mo Xicheng had discovered something, and he even said he was going to deal with me.”
“Don’t worry. If he dares, I have a way of taking care of that!”
