During her time working at the pharmaceutical factory, Fang Zhuyun had come to understand what kind of person Mo Han truly was. Previously, she only knew that Li Qilang had eradicated the underground circle in Qian City and had become a local hero. But after working a few days at the factory, she learned that Li Qilang was actually a disciple trained by Mo Han. Moreover, it was Mo Han who had truly destroyed the underground circle.

She often overheard coworkers in her department speaking of the legendary tale where Mo Han defeated the underground circle's king, Fifth Master, and Ba Dao with a single punch, and how he single-handedly took down over a hundred thugs. Gradually, Mo Han’s image in her heart transformed into that of a genuine, humble hero.

At this moment, seeing Mo Han, the tension in her heart finally eased. She knew Mo Han had come to save her. With Mo Han here, a sudden sense of security blossomed within her.

“Sorry, I’ve been busy with other matters these past few days and neglected your safety. I’ve caused you unnecessary suffering,” Mo Han said with some guilt upon seeing Fang Zhuyun’s tear-streaked face. He had promised Fifth Master to protect Fang Zhuyun thoroughly, but his negligence had left her frightened and anxious. He truly felt sorry.

“Thank you. If you hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have known what to do,” Fang Zhuyun shook her head, trying to calm herself. But the strain she had repressed for so long suddenly snapped, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

“It’s okay now. Let’s go. I promise you, from now on, no one in Qian City will ever harm you again,” Mo Han said firmly.

Fang Zhuyun was deeply moved. If she hadn’t known Mo Han was Li An’an’s husband, in this moment, she would have had the impulse to throw herself into his arms and cry.

Nearby, Fifth Master watched Fang Zhuyun wiping her tears and following Mo Han out. His body trembled slightly. He wanted to call out “Zhuyun,” but his lips moved silently, unable to utter a sound. After all these years of concealment, he wasn’t sure if his daughter would ever forgive him. Considering his identity and the path he must walk ahead, he ultimately restrained himself.

“Sigh,” Ba Dao sighed, wanting to comfort Fifth Master but realizing he had no words. He patted Fifth Master’s shoulder and then walked over to Du Shisan.

“What do you want?” Ba Dao’s murderous aura caused Du Shisan to tremble and step back.

“She’s someone I’ve watched grow up since childhood, my own irreplaceable treasure. The moment you set your sights on her, you sealed your fate!” Ba Dao glared fiercely at Du Shisan. He and Fifth Master were not just brothers but closer than brothers, and over the years, he had silently watched Fang Zhuyun grow up in the shadows. In his heart, she was like his own daughter. How could he possibly let Du Shisan get away with kidnapping her?

“Don’t kill me! If you kill me, Brother Bing will never forgive you!” Du Shisan’s voice trembled. Even he didn’t believe his own words.

“Clang!”

The sound of a blade unsheathing rang out. The long knife sliced through the air before quickly sheathing again.

Du Shisan clutched at his neck in horror as blood gushed out like a fountain from between his fingers. He stared fixedly at Ba Dao’s retreating back, his eyes filled with unwillingness and terror.

“Gag! Gag! Gag!”

Du Shisan’s throat writhed, but no words came out.

Bang!

His body collapsed, pupils wide open, dead without peace.

The nearby henchmen, seeing this scene, scattered in all directions, terrified of being killed by Ba Dao.

After escorting Fang Zhuyun home, Mo Han instructed Xu Jing to arrange for two people to be stationed at her residential complex. In truth, with a hundred of their skilled men, even one would suffice to protect Fang Zhuyun. With their abilities, no one except Fifth Master or Ba Dao could challenge them.

After making these arrangements, it was already past midnight. At that moment, Mo Han received a call from Li An’an. She was worried about his safety since he hadn’t returned for a long time.

“I’ll be back in an hour. By the way, do you want me to bring you some late-night food?” Mo Han asked.

“No, eating late will make me gain weight. Be careful,” Li An’an’s caring voice came through the phone.

Mo Han felt warmth in his heart and comforted her, “Don’t worry, your husband is quite skilled. Alright, talk to you later.”

“Okay, bye,” Li An’an said before hanging up.

Mo Han put away his phone and looked toward Fifth Master.

“Have you found Chen Bing’s address?” He intended to settle the problem once and for all tonight.

“Found it. At the Misty Mountain Villa,” Fifth Master replied.

“Let’s go, to Misty Mountain Villa,” Mo Han said as he got into the car.

Misty Mountain Villa.

At this moment, Chen Bing had already received the news and was furious.

Bang!

He smashed the red wine glass on the table, shattering it, spilling wine everywhere.

“Mo Han! You actually crippled my brother Afei. Do you want to die?” Chen Bing’s rage was uncontrollable.

Lufei was his cousin, who had trained with him since childhood. After pledging allegiance to Huang Yulong, he took Lufei along. Few knew about their relationship.

Everyone thought Chen Bing was ruthless and heartless, but that was only toward others.

Lufei was his brother. Now that Mo Han had completely crippled Lufei, severing both his left and right arms, it was not just crippling—it was killing his brother. This was a grave vendetta.

“Damn it!” Chen Bing said furiously, “Does Mo Han really think he’s the king of Qian City? He’s so arrogant!”

“Brother Bing, shall we go seek revenge now?” Hu Li asked cautiously.

“Of course we must!” Chen Bing’s eyes gleamed with cruelty. Tonight, not only would he seek revenge, but he would also smash the entire pharmaceutical factory into pieces! Mo Han was ungrateful and had crippled his brother. This grudge was higher than the sky! Even if it disrupted his plans, he had to get revenge tonight!

“Tell Du Shisan and Wang Meiren to come see me immediately!” Chen Bing ordered sternly.

Hu Li nodded and took out his phone to call, but just then, a thug hurried in.

“Brother Bing, bad news! One of Du Shisan’s men just called. Du Shisan has been killed!” the thug reported.

“Who did it?” Chen Bing’s face darkened as he shouted.

“Ba Dao!” the thug answered shakily.

“Du Shisan is such a useless bastard. He couldn’t even defeat Ba Dao. What a joke!” Chen Bing was very displeased. He hadn’t even shown his full strength yet and had already lost two key generals—this was a devastating blow.

“Quickly bring Du Shisan’s men under my command. Notify Wang Meiren to come see me immediately!” Chen Bing said with narrowed eyes.

“Brother Bing!” Suddenly, another thug ran in, panic-stricken.

“What’s the matter? Why the rush and fuss?” Chen Bing shouted angrily.

“Brother Bing, Mo Han and his people are coming!” the thug stammered.
