Chapter 10 The Li Family Panics!

Li An’an furrowed her brows, set down her bag, and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Xu Fang looked at Li Xiande and said, “You tell An’an.”

Li An’an turned to her father. Li Xiande took a deep breath and said, “It’s Mo Han…”

Li An’an’s frown deepened. “What happened to Mo Han?”

“He… he cut off two of Li Bing’s fingers, injured your uncle, and forced your grandfather to transfer a hundred million to his account. Not only your uncle’s family—your grandfather won’t spare us, either!” Li Xiande’s face was clouded with worry.

“That useless fool is nothing but trouble! Now look what’s happened—not only will we get nothing from that twenty million, but we’ve thoroughly offended your uncle’s family. An’an, tell him to transfer the money to you immediately. Otherwise, your uncle’s family will kill him sooner or later!” Li Fang said.

“That hundred million—is it from selling Xiao Xiao’s corneas?” Li An’an looked at her father, and at last understood why Mo Han hadn’t explained things to her earlier.

Because Mo Han had cut off Li Bing’s fingers, there was no room for negotiation with her uncle’s family—they had completely fallen out.

She knew Mo Han hadn’t told her the truth because he didn’t want to put her in a difficult position.

“Yes, it’s that money. Your grandfather is furious with me. After Mo Han left, he slapped me hard. He might actually expel our family from the clan,” Li Xiande sighed.

“So An’an, you’d better have Mo Han transfer you that hundred million. At least, if your grandfather expels us, we won’t starve,” Xu Fang chimed in.

“I understand,” Li An’an nodded, then rose and headed for the kitchen to prepare dinner.

As for her mother’s suggestion, she took it in stride; she trusted Mo Han. Whether the money was with him or with her made no difference.

“Husband, I don’t think An’an will ever get Mo Han to transfer the money to her. We have to find a way to get that money into our account. Otherwise, if the old man expels us from the family, we’ll be left with nothing,” Xu Fang whispered urgently to Li Xiande, seeing her daughter head for the kitchen instead of calling Mo Han.

To her, only having the money in her own account would bring peace of mind.

After all, it was a hundred million.

Li Xiande nodded silently.

“Well, what are you waiting for? Call Mo Han right now,” Xu Fang urged, her voice sharp.

Li Xiande shuddered. Remembering the murderous look in Mo Han’s eyes earlier, a wave of fear washed over him. He shook his head quickly. “If you want to call, call him yourself. I can’t handle this!”

Xu Fang, incensed, was about to scold him when their younger daughter, Li Xiaoxiao, rushed in, visibly flustered.

Seeing her daughter’s panicked expression, Xu Fang’s brows knitted. She was about to ask what was wrong when Li Xiaoxiao’s frightened voice broke in, “Something terrible’s happened! The Tan family wants to kill us all!”

“W-What?” Xu Fang was stunned, springing up from the sofa.

Li Xiande stared at his younger daughter in bewilderment.

With a sob in her voice, Li Xiaoxiao said, “Mom, it’s true! I heard it’s because Brother-in-law blinded Tan Xiaorong in one eye and broke his leg. Now the Tan family wants to kill him—and all of us!”

“This… this…”

Xu Fang’s face went deathly pale, seized by fear.

Li Xiande was dumbstruck. “Xiaoxiao, who told you this?” he asked.

Li Xiaoxiao took out her phone, opened a social media app, found a saved video, and handed it to her parents. “Watch this. It’s a recording from the Tan family’s steward, saying they’ll take revenge in three days—they won’t spare any of us!”

After watching the video, Li Xiande and his wife were both paralyzed with terror.

The Tan family’s influence in Qian City was overwhelming; their own family was no match.

In fact, in Qian City, the Li family was just a small name compared to the Tans, who wielded power both in the underworld and high society. Who would dare cross them?

“That useless Mo Han again! Does he think he’s invincible?” After a long silence, Xu Fang finally burst out in anger.

“Why did he attack the Tan family’s heir?” Li Xiande asked.

“It must have been to save Xiao Xiao! I heard Brother-in-law not only crippled Tan Xiaorong, but also Tan Taiwu, the fifth master of the Tan family. They’ll never let us go now!” Li Xiaoxiao was on the verge of tears.

In her memory, her brother-in-law had always been a coward—no matter how they scolded or humiliated him, he never dared make a sound.

Who would’ve thought, to save Xiao Xiao, he’d erupt and cripple two important members of the Tan family?

But now, with the Tans seeking vengeance, what were they to do?

“This is a disaster! We’re all going to die because of him!” Xu Fang wailed, stamping her feet and slapping her thighs in despair.

Li Xiande was so frightened he couldn’t utter a word.

“Xiaoxiao, what did you just say?” Li An’an, hearing the commotion, came out of the kitchen.

“Sis—where’s Brother-in-law?” Seeing Li An’an, Li Xiaoxiao hurried over.

“He’s at the hospital with Xiao Xiao. What’s happened?” Li An’an asked.

“Sis, Brother-in-law’s in big trouble. The Tan family wants to kill him—and all of us!” Li Xiaoxiao sobbed.

Li An’an was stunned, and only then did she recall what had happened earlier that day—Mo Han crippling Tan Xiaorong.

At the time, all her thoughts had been on saving her daughter, and she’d given no thought to the consequences.

Now, remembering how Mo Han had destroyed Tan Xiaorong’s eye and broken his leg, she felt a chill run down her spine.

The Tan family’s power in Qian City was immense—people like them could never afford to provoke them.

How could they possibly let this go?

“Sis, what do we do now? They say they’ll act in three days!” Li Xiaoxiao said anxiously.

Li An’an’s face was ashen, her heart seized with panic, utterly at a loss.

“Sis, maybe we should go into hiding for a while!” Li Xiaoxiao suggested.

“Where could we hide? The Tan family’s reach is vast—where could we possibly escape to?” Li Xiande replied.

“He’s right. No matter where we go, the Tans could find us…” Li An’an shook her head, feeling powerless.

“Then what do we do? Just sit at home and wait for death?” Li Xiaoxiao retorted.

“I have an idea—one way to make the Tan family spare us!” Xu Fang suddenly declared.

All eyes turned to her.

A ruthless glint flickered in Xu Fang’s eyes. “As long as we drive Mo Han out and sever all ties with him, the Tan family won’t blame us.”

Li Xiaoxiao and Li An’an fell silent, but Li Xiande’s eyes lit up as he looked at Li An’an. “An’an, you should divorce Mo Han tomorrow. Once you separate, our family will have nothing to do with him, and the Tan family won’t come after us.”
