"Major General, please don't listen to his nonsense. I think he's just deliberately finding an excuse to play with you!"
Yanzi was annoyed. She felt that Lu Pan was deliberately toying with them.
Nalan Mingyue pondered for a moment, then cupped her hands towards the main door and said, "In that case, Mingyue will visit again in three days!"
"Let's go!"
With Nalan Mingyue's command, Yanzi had no choice but to comply.
"Major General, why do you tolerate him like this? Anyone with eyes can see he's deliberately making things difficult for you!"
On the way back to the War Department, Yanzi voiced her confusion.
Nalan Mingyue replied, "I have no retreat now. Divine Doctor Lu is my only hope!"
Yanzi felt helpless, thinking her Major General was obsessed.
"Major General, your subordinate has learned that Divine Doctor Sun from the National Medical Hall is in Qingcheng. Why don't we have him examine the old man? Perhaps Divine Doctor Sun also has a solution."
Nalan Mingyue knew Yanzi meant well and agreed, "Alright, I'll ask Divine Doctor Sun to examine Grandpa tomorrow."
Yanzi's face lit up with joy. "Your subordinate will arrange it immediately. If Divine Doctor Sun can cure the old man, we won't have to be rejected at Zifeng Villa again!"
Nalan Mingyue listened to the crashing waves outside the car window and fell silent.
—
The next day, early in the morning.
Xu Zichuan, with forty to fifty soldiers armed with live ammunition, completely blocked the entrance to the Mo family.
A terrifying atmosphere instantly spread throughout the Mo family.
"Xu Zichuan, what is the meaning of this?" Old Master Mo questioned Xu Zichuan, who had a hostile expression.
Xu Zichuan's gaze was sharp as he coldly snorted, "I am here today with two purposes!"
Xu Zichuan looked at Mo Shiyao and said sternly, "First, bring Mo Shiyao back to the Xu family to observe three years of mourning for my father and second uncle!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Shiyao's face turned pale with fright.
"Nonsense!" Old Master Mo was furious and rebuked Xu Zichuan, "Shiyao was only engaged to Ziqiang, she hasn't truly married into your Xu family. How can she observe mourning for your father and second uncle?!"
Xu Zichuan sneered repeatedly, his tone overbearing, "Who in Qingcheng doesn't know that Mo Shiyao is engaged to my brother and has already become a daughter-in-law of my Xu family?"
"Let alone that my brother is only crippled; even if he were dead, she would have to remain a widow in the Xu family for life, and she could only be a member of my Xu family until death!"
Old Master Mo trembled with anger at Xu Zichuan's words.
Mo Shiyao was filled with fear, terrified of being taken away by Xu Zichuan to observe mourning for life in the Xu family.
That was more terrifying than death!
"Zichuan, this is all a misunderstanding..." Ding Li quickly spoke up for her daughter, "Ziqiang is a good child. He definitely wouldn't want Shiyao to..."
*Slap—*
Before Ding Li could finish speaking, Xu Zichuan slapped her heavily.
Ding Li cried out in pain and fell to the ground.
"Mom!"
"Lili!"
Mo Shiyao and Mo Yunguo exclaimed, rushing forward to help Ding Li up.
Mo Yunguo angrily said to Xu Zichuan, "Xu Zichuan, don't bully people with power!"
"I am bullying people with power today, and what can you do about it?" Xu Zichuan looked coldly at the Mo family trio and gestured to his subordinates, "Take Mo Shiyao away!"
Instantly, four people stepped forward and seized Mo Shiyao.
"Dad, Mom, Grandpa, save me... *sob sob*... I don't want to go to the Xu family to observe mourning, I don't want to be a widow for life..."
Mo Shiyao struggled.
She was so panicked that she burst into tears.
Mo Ziyan, who was reviewing family company documents in her room, rushed out upon hearing the commotion.
"Let go of my sister!!"
Mo Ziyan saw Mo Shiyao being held by four burly men and immediately charged forward.
*Swish—*
A gun was pointed at her head, scaring her into stillness.
"Who... who are you people... is there no law anymore?" Although Mo Ziyan was afraid, she still gathered her courage to question Xu Zichuan.
Xu Zichuan's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected Mo Ziyan to be so beautiful.
He had known about Mo Ziyan last night, after all, she had a close relationship with his father's killer!
Xu Zichuan, with the gun still pointed at Mo Ziyan, reached out and pinched her smooth, fair chin, staring at her face, which was enough to make any man want to commit a crime.
"Law?" Xu Zichuan sneered, hiding the greed in his eyes, "In Qingcheng, I, Xu Zichuan, am the law!"
"Let go of my sister. If you have something, come at me." Mo Ziyan tried to shake off Xu Zichuan's hand, but he held it tightly.
"Come at me?" Xu Zichuan acted as if he had heard a joke, his gaze turning cold, "I will make you and Lu Pan accompany my father and second uncle to the grave together!"
Mo Ziyan was startled by Xu Zichuan's fierce gaze. Upon hearing that he was targeting Lu Pan, she couldn't help but show concern. *kuAiδugg*
She said urgently, "Brother Pan won't come. You won't find him!"
"Is that so?" Xu Zichuan revealed a sinister smile.
The next second, he directly tore Mo Shiyao's outer garment.
"Ah!!"
Mo Shiyao screamed in terror.
"Now! Immediately! Call him, or else—I will strip her clothes off piece by piece!"
Xu Zichuan's voice was almost frenzied, "Then, I will have forty of my men take turns serving her... Heh heh... Isn't she your sister... staging a live spectacle in front of all of you very stimulating?"
Xu Zichuan chuckled, sending chills down the spines of everyone present in the Mo family.
"From now on, I'll give you five seconds to consider!"
"Five..."
"Sister... save me..."
Mo Shiyao's eyes were swollen from crying as she pleaded with Mo Ziyan.
"Four..."
Xu Zichuan continued to smile, a smile that was incredibly terrifying.
"Three..."
"I... I'll call!"
Mo Ziyan gritted her teeth, bearing immense pressure. She absolutely could not watch her sister be stripped and publicly humiliated.
Mo Ziyan tremblingly took out her phone and opened her contacts.
"Brother Pan... I'm sorry..."
Her fingers tapped on the contact saved as 'Handsome Brother Pan', tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
*Ring ring...*
A sudden phone ring echoed from outside the Mo family's entrance.
In the silent, fear-filled hall of the Mo family, it sounded particularly piercing.
Xu Zichuan froze and abruptly turned his head towards the door.
*Bang—*
*Bang—*
*Bang—*
Several figures with deformed limbs were sent flying in, landing in front of Xu Zichuan.
Seeing his men being brutally dealt with, Xu Zichuan's face darkened, and he stared intently at the figure appearing at the doorway.
"Pan... Brother Pan..."
Mo Ziyan hadn't expected Lu Pan to be right outside and began to cry uncontrollably, "I'm sorry... Brother Pan... Ziyan couldn't..."
Lu Pan hung up the phone and gave Mo Ziyan a reassuring look, "Silly girl, I told you, no one will bully you from now on!"
"Kid, you killed my father and second uncle, and crippled my brother?"
Seeing that Lu Pan was directly ignoring him and instead acting intimately with Mo Ziyan, Xu Zichuan became enraged.
"Today, I will grind you to ashes and make you regret ever being born into this world!!"
"Wudao, slap him!"
*Slap, slap—*
Before Xu Zichuan could react, Ye Wudao had already appeared before him and delivered two swift slaps, making his ears ring and his cheeks swell with bruises.
"Hand over the Xuan Shui Jade, and I'll leave your body intact!!"
Lu Pan spoke, his voice like the decree of a Yama, radiating supreme coldness and pressure that descended upon the Mo family.
