Chapter 149: You’re Asking to Die!

"Uncle, what on earth are you trying to do? Have you lost your mind?" Li An'an demanded loudly as soon as the call connected.

She truly believed Li Xianwu had completely gone insane. Although her family had been expelled from the Li clan and no longer had any ties to them, she still held the Li family name in her heart. Otherwise, she would have renamed her pharmaceutical factory long ago. She simply had not expected Li Xianwu to be this reckless.

"Heh, Li An'an, spare me the hypocrisy. If you still considered me your uncle or cared about the Li family, would you have seized the pharmaceutical factory? Would you have let Mo Han beat Li Bing into a vegetative state?"

On the other end of the line, Li Xianwu’s tone was smug and bordered on hysterical. "If I can't have it, nobody gets to have it! I’ve sold off all of the Li family’s assets and their surrounding interests. With that money, I can make a comeback, but if you dare to oppose *that* person, you will meet a miserable end!"

Li Xianwu was well aware of Li Xianren’s methods—they were several times more ruthless than those of Fifth Master or Ba Dao. He had heard that back when Li Xianren was making his mark in Chuandu, many people had died by his hand. The most terrifying thing was crossing a man like Li Xianren, a ruthless character with blood on his hands who recognized only profit and no family ties. If Li An'an and her group dared to defy his will, it wouldn't just be Mo Han who died.

"Take a piece of advice from your uncle: give up. You will never be a match for him. When you provoke him, it won't just be Mo Han who dies—your whole family will likely be dragged down with him," Li Xianwu chuckled.

"Who is that person?" Li An'an pressed, his words filling her with unease.

"Your second uncle, Li Xianren!"

The call ended, leaving Li An'an in a state of shock. Li Xianren! She certainly knew who he was. Like her father, he was an adopted son taken in by Li Zhendong years ago. But Li Xianren had studied martial arts under a reclusive master since childhood and had always been known for his cruel methods. Most importantly, his relationship with her father had always been strained; her father had even been injured by him in the past.

"How could this be? Why him?" Her face paled. She didn't know if Mo Han could handle Li Xianren. What if Mo Han was no match for him? And from Li Xianwu's words, it was clear that Li Xianren intended to kill Mo Han—it was undoubtedly Li Xianwu who had incited him. How could someone be so shameless?

"Director Li, what should we do? These people will definitely come back to cause trouble. This is having a huge impact on us," Ma Jiaojiao said with concern.

"Let me think." Li An'an was even more worried than Ma Jiaojiao. She realized she was powerless to do anything. Li Xianwu had deliberately brought a formidable enemy upon her—one she couldn't possibly confront. Only now did she realize how much Mo Han had done for her during this time. Without him, the factory could never have developed to this point.

"Sister-in-law, who is this Li Xianren?" Li Qilang had overheard the conversation.

"My second uncle. He was expelled from the family by my grandfather years ago. I heard he’s doing well in Chuandu—he’s the king of the underground world there," Li An'an replied.

"What's going on?" Just then, Mo Han walked in.

Everyone turned to him. Li An'an recounted everything, adding anxiously, "Li Xianren studied martial arts under a reclusive master since he was a child; he's incredibly formidable. Maybe we should try to talk to them?"

"A reclusive master?" Mo Han smiled. Aside from himself, he didn't know of any "reclusive masters" worth the name. "Don't worry. I don't care if he's the disciple of a reclusive master or a nobody. If he dares to come to Qian City to stir up trouble, he won't be going back."

He turned to Li Qilang. "Find out where Li Xianren is right now. Immediately."

"Understood." Li Qilang looked excited; he hadn't had a real fight in days. Seeing Mo Han dismiss Li Xianren so casually, Li An'an felt a bit more at ease, though she remained worried. She knew Mo Han’s character—once he made a decision, it was hard to change. She recalled how he had easily defeated Fifth Master, the king of the Qian City underground, and felt a glimmer of hope.

Ten minutes later, Li Qilang received the full report on Li Xianren's location.

"He's courting death!" Seeing the location, Mo Han’s face darkened, and a flash of killing intent crossed his eyes. "Let's go. We're going home first."

"What's wrong?" Li An'an asked, her heart sinking.

"Li Xianren has gone to see Mom and Dad," Mo Han said.

"What?" Li An'an gasped, rushing to follow him. Li Qilang called for a few security guards, and they headed toward the hilltop villa.

At the villa, Li Xiande had returned home after meeting a client that afternoon and was lounging on the sofa, watching the news. Xu Fang was in the kitchen, having specifically bought pork ribs to make the braised rib soup Mo Han liked.

"They should be back soon. Help me wash the scallions," Xu Fang called out from the kitchen.

"Wait a few minutes. I'll come after this news segment," Li Xiande replied without looking away.

"Watch, watch, watch! All you do is watch international news. Are you planning to expand the company abroad or something?" Xu Fang retorted, then left him to it.

Suddenly, a loud *bang* echoed as the front door was kicked open. Li Xiande looked up in shock to see Li Xianren walking in with several thugs.

"Li Xianren!" Li Xiande stood up, his eyes filled with anger. Xu Fang rushed out from the kitchen, her face turning pale with fear at the sight of him. She still remembered the day years ago when she witnessed Li Xianren injure her husband. He was a devil—cold-blooded and devoid of family loyalty.

"Third brother, it’s been years. I didn't expect you to be doing so well, living in a hilltop villa. This place must be worth at least a hundred million," Li Xianren said with a chuckle, looking around at the decor.

"Li Xianren, what are you doing here?" Li Xiande asked, his voice low and tense.

"I'm here to reclaim my villa." Li Xianren laughed and tossed a contract at him. "Li Xianwu has sold all of the Li family's assets to me. Anything related to the Li family is mine now."

"Bullshit! What does this villa have to do with Li Xianwu? How could he sell it to you?" Li Xiande shouted.

"It's all written in black and white." Li Xianren gave a mocking smile and threatened, "Are you going to get out yourselves, or do you want me to throw you out one by one?"

"Li Xianren, if you dare to pull anything, I'll report you for trespassing!" Li Xiande said firmly.

"Go ahead, please do." Li Xianren sneered and waved his hand. Several thugs grabbed Li Xiande and Xu Fang, forcibly dragging them toward the door.
