Mo Family.
"Dad, it's bad. The Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce has blacklisted our Mo family and banned cooperation with us," Mo Yunbo said with a worried look upon seeing the notice.
Their worries had vanished after the Long Group was destroyed, but they hadn't expected the Chamber of Commerce to move against them.
"I've already received several emails terminating our collaborations," Mo Yunguo said, scrolling through the emails on his phone, his tone grave.
The Mo family was merely a second-tier family. If many of their business partners terminated their cooperation, they would soon face a business crisis.
"What's the panic?" Old Master Mo remained calm. "The company isn't completely bankrupt. I said we'll deal with whatever comes our way!"
Mo Ziyan had woken up after Lu Pan helped her sober up.
Hearing Old Master Mo's words, she said apologetically, "Grandpa, this all started because of me. I... I will definitely find a way to resolve it."
"You have no connections, no resources, how can you possibly find a solution?"
"Exactly. I don't think we should have given you the family shares. Such a big problem occurred on your first day..."
"If this continues, the company will be ruined by you. Will we still need to eat?"
Everyone's words, one after another, shifted all the blame onto Mo Ziyan.
Mo Ziyan's eyes were red with a sense of grievance.
She had only wanted to prove her capabilities, and she hadn't done anything wrong from the beginning.
But the words of her family members were like knives piercing her, leaving her covered in wounds.
Outside the door, Lu Pan watched it all with cold eyes, remaining silent.
If he wanted Mo Ziyan to see the true nature of the Mo family, she had to personally bear this pain.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to save the family!"
Mo Ziyan looked at Old Master Mo with determination and made a pledge, "We don't even need three months. Within a month, if I can't help the family escape this crisis, I don't want half a share!"
Saying this, Mo Ziyan, with red eyes, ran out.
After leaving the living room, she already regretted it, feeling that she had been too impulsive.
Just as everyone had said, she lacked ability, resources, and connections. How could she possibly help the family escape the crisis within a month?
Lu Pan appeared in a flash, and Mo Ziyan ran straight into him.
"Wuwu... Brother Pan, Ziyan is not only useless but also impulsive..." Mo Ziyan, seeing Lu Pan, burst into tears from her grievances.
"How can that be?" Lu Pan gently patted Mo Ziyan, comforting her. "I believe Ziyan can resolve the Mo family's crisis. Besides, how will you know if you don't try?"
Mo Ziyan looked up at Lu Pan, her voice choked, and asked seriously, "Really? Brother Pan believes in Ziyan?"
"Of course!" Lu Pan playfully flicked her red nose and smiled, "Look at you, you've cried yourself into a little kitten."
Mo Ziyan's cheeks flushed, and her heart fluttered.
"Shall you return to Zifeng Villa with me, or stay at the Mo family?" Lu Pan asked with a smile, retracting his hand.
Mo Ziyan thought for a moment and replied softly, "Brother Pan, I don't understand many things in the family company yet. I want to stay home and learn more..."
Lu Pan nodded, "Alright, call me if you need anything."
"Brother Pan is so good to me..."
Saying this, Mo Ziyan stood on her tiptoes, quickly kissed Lu Pan on the lips, and ran away with a red face.
Lu Pan touched his lips, gazing in the direction Mo Ziyan disappeared, and murmured with a smile, "This girl is getting bolder and bolder..."
---
Zifeng Villa, nestled between mountains and the sea.
Nalan Mingyue and Yanzi had been guarding the only way to the villa for an entire afternoon. By the time night fell, they hadn't seen a single person.
They had knocked on the door three times during this period, with no response.
"Major General, could Dr. Lu have left? Perhaps we should come back tomorrow?" Yanzi was getting impatient.
Nalan Mingyue gazed at the gate of Zifeng Villa and shook her head slightly, "Perhaps Dr. Lu went out this morning."
She had originally planned to come first thing in the morning, but was delayed by matters at the war department.
"Let's wait a bit longer. Maybe Dr. Lu will be back soon." Nalan Mingyue had plenty of patience and believed she would eventually wait for Dr. Lu.
Speaking of this, Nalan Mingyue rubbed her abdomen. She regretted the cup of water she had drunk before leaving.
She had held it in all afternoon because there were no public restrooms nearby.
At this moment, she could no longer hold it.
"Yanzi, go and knock on the door again."
Nalan Mingyue sent Yanzi away. She had already noticed a patch of bushes at a cliff not far away.
Since Ye Wudao had gone to handle the Long Group's affairs, Lu Pan walked towards Zifeng Villa alone.
Passing by a supermarket, he bought a large bag of food and necessities.
"What's that sound?"
As he neared the villa, Lu Pan heard a rustling sound.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his ears twitched. He instantly detected someone in the bushes at the cliff.
Lu Pan sneered, "Are there still fearless people who have found Zifeng Villa?"
His body swayed slightly, and Lu Pan instantly lunged towards the bushes.
Ah!!!
Nalan Mingyue was relaxing when suddenly a living person appeared before her, startling her into a scream!
Even though she was a three-star Major General, she was still a woman.
Lu Pan was also stunned. Looking at Nalan Mingyue squatting in the bushes, a large patch of wet ground, and sniffing the faint peculiar odor in the air.
He realized he had misunderstood.
There was no one looking for trouble; it was Nalan Mingyue relieving herself!
"Bastard, die!"
Nalan Mingyue hastily pulled up her pants, feeling regretful, annoyed, and extremely furious!
She was just using the restroom, and a man saw her?!
Nalan Mingyue had the urge to kill and threw a punch towards Lu Pan's face.
Lu Pan recovered and quickly retreated, dodging Nalan Mingyue's attack.
From a distance, Yanzi, who was knocking on the door, heard Nalan Mingyue's scream and rushed over. Without a word, she attacked Lu Pan from behind!
Attacked from both sides, Lu Pan handled it with ease.
"Sorry, that was just a misunderstanding!" Lu Pan explained as he dodged, looking at the enraged Nalan Mingyue, "I didn't see anything!"
"Shut up!"
Nalan Mingyue was afraid that Lu Pan would reveal what he had just seen.
If Yanzi found out that she had been seen by Lu Pan while using the restroom, how would she face her subordinates in the future?
Nalan Mingyue stopped her attack and glared at Lu Pan furiously. Only then did she realize that Lu Pan looked somewhat familiar.
Because it was already dark, she had only wanted to vent her anger and hadn't noticed Lu Pan's appearance.
"It's you!"
Recognizing Lu Pan, Nalan Mingyue was a little shocked.
"Major General, he..." Yanzi returned to Nalan Mingyue's side, about to ask what happened, but she also recognized Lu Pan, "How is it you?"
After speaking, Yanzi glanced at the shopping bag in Lu Pan's hand with disdain, "I didn't expect you to be just a delivery boy. Since the family isn't here, just leave it at the door!"
"Yanzi, don't talk nonsense!"
Nalan Mingyue calmed down. Lu Pan's skills were far beyond hers, and he could never be just a simple delivery boy!
"Heh..."
Facing Yanzi's disdain, Lu Pan let out a cold laugh, turned, and walked towards Zifeng Villa.
"Welcome home!"
After Lu Pan's fingerprint was recognized, an electronic voice sounded, and the gate opened.
Lu Pan flashed inside, and the gate closed.
Watching Lu Pan disappear and the gate shut, Yanzi was dumbfounded, "Major General, he... he..."
