Chapter 369: The Stare of the Lin Family Head
```
Chu Mo and Fan Zhijian returned to the lobby on the first floor when a lithe girl immediately ran over with laughter, her sweet voice arriving before she did.
"Dad!" Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
A look of doting affection flashed in the eyes of the Family Head of the Fan family; he waved to the pretty-faced girl opposite and then spoke,
"Pingping, this is Mr. Chu, you have met him before!"
Chu Mo, with a similarly smiling face, looked at his once potential match. A few months ago, right after acquiring Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel, Tianxiang Garden had hosted a charity gala where he had been introduced to the girl opposite.
Although neither had taken a liking to the other then, they had at least made each other's acquaintance.
Chu Mo had a rather good impression of the girl named Fan Tingting, and considering she was the only daughter of Fan Zhijian, and with the rise of the Fan family's jewelry store, his relations with the Fan family were bound to become closer. Inevitably, he would have more interactions with Miss Fan!
He took the initiative to nod and greet the charming young lady across from him, his face full of smiles as he said,
"Miss Fan, we meet again!"
With Fan Zhijian looking on, Fan Tingting dared not act out and greeted Chu Mo properly before she started chatting with the twin sisters behind him.
Fan Zhijian glanced at his beloved daughter with a tinge of regret. He had harbored some hope that if his precious daughter could match with Chu Mo, the Fan family's status would be more stable in the future.
However, unfortunately, there was no fondness between Chu Mo and Fan Tingting at all.
He shook his head slightly in disappointment, and just then, Fang Lihu, the deputy captain of the bodyguards guarding the entrance, strode towards them. Upon reaching Chu Mo, the two-meter-three tall Fang Lihu bowed slightly and said respectfully,
"Mr. Chu, the Prince's motorcade has already reached the junction; they will be here any moment!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Mo and Fan Zhijian exchanged glances and then both took a deep breath. The next moment, a faint aura of authority emanated from both of them!
It was just for an instant, but the chatting twins and Miss Fan behind them suddenly fell silent. At that moment, the atmosphere in the entire lobby became three degrees more oppressive and solemn!
"Mr. Chu, please!"
Fan Zhijian made a welcoming gesture, and Chu Mo nodded slightly, then the two of them strode towards the entrance of the jewelry store!
The entire entrance of the jewelry store was cordoned off by scores of black-clad bodyguards, and ordinary people couldn't get anywhere near the area. As Chu Mo and Fan Zhijian approached the entrance, every bodyguard and hostess at the doorway bowed in greeting.
The twin sisters Zi Xiang and Zi Yi respectfully stood by Chu Mo's side, and even Miss Fan of the Fan family stopped her mischief to stand obediently by her father's side.
Just then, Chu Mo suddenly felt a gaze fixed on him; he looked over sharply and across the street, the Family Head Lin Youzhi and his sister Lin Ling'er, accompanied by a host of followers, were standing at the entrance to the main store of Supreme Jewelry, welcoming guests.

At this moment, Lin Youzhi was staring at him without blinking.
Chu Mo suddenly remembered that just two months earlier, he and the other party had been drinking afternoon tea together. Back then, Fang Lihu had also given him a Van Gogh oil painting; at the time, the two of them were discussing investing in a jewelry store, their relationship close to say the least.
Yet, merely two months later, as the eight great families intervened and the Lin family switched sides, the two of them had transformed from friends into enemies.
With Chu Mo's full support, once the Fan family had taken complete control of the jewelry business in Modu and the nearby cities, the jewelry revenue that accounted for half of Lin family's wealth would dry up in an instant, and by then, the decline of the Lin family would be inevitable.
Like the Zhou family, who were currently in the midst of a split between the brothers, if not careful, the Lin and Zhou families might both be forced out of the historical stage.
With an indifferent face, Chu Mo looked directly into Lin Youzhi's eyes. People were coming and going, cars were passing by, yet the gazes of the two men seemed to pierce through all barriers, colliding without reservation!
At this moment, Chu Mo did not back down; he had given the Lin family a chance before, whether by sending a messenger or visiting in person, but all had been rejected. Even when they finally sent Lin Ling'er to negotiate peace, it was already too late. In essence, the current situation was wrought by the Lin family themselves.
Chu Mo was without guilt, and thus his gaze was honest and cold at this moment.
This year, just forty-seven, the Lin family's Family Head, Lin Youzhi, tall, learned, and distinguished, was the youngest and most talented head that the Lin family had ever had. Having taken over the position ten years ago, he, with his outstanding leadership, had lifted the Lin family from their rough parity with the other three families to leading the charge.
Without a doubt, Lin Youzhi played an irreplaceable role.
When this tycoon, whose worth was estimated at three hundred billion, looked at someone with a stern face, a massive pressure seemed to cut through the streets, hitting directly opposite them!
However, today's Chu Mo, now vastly different from his former self, was fearless. In a short time, he had grown strong enough; his every venture was on the scale of hundreds of billions, and even against the Modu's number one Lin family, Chu Mo could easily shake their position.
As their eyes met, an immense pressure, enough to instill fear in ordinary people, crept silently in!
In the meantime, Fan Zhijian's companion, Fan Pingping, clearly felt something was off. The quirky Fan family miss looked at the young man next to her with a face full of surprise.
Following his gaze, she then saw Lin Youzhi, whom even she feared, and especially when she saw the expressions of the two men gazing at each other, Fan Pingping shivered.
At this moment, when she looked again at the young man beside her, there was a different sparkle in her eyes!
This face-off lasted only a dozen seconds, and moments later, as a long line of cars appeared across the street, the Lin family's Family Head, Lin Youzhi, immediately went forward to greet them with a face full of joy.
Then, Chu Mo clearly saw the Family Head of the Jiangnan Li family, Li Xiaoyao, worth a trillion, coming out of the car with a big smile on his face!
Chu Mo's gaze finally left the cold-faced Lin Ling'er, and at that moment, in front of the Bafang Kelai Jewelry Store, a long line of cars also began to slowly drive this way.
Leading with four noble Red Chess Cars, followed by eight luxury vehicles each worth tens of millions, as the convoy gradually stopped in front of them, Chu Mo, with a renewed smile on his face, said lightly:
"Those who should come, have finally arrived!"
