Chapter 9: The Tan Family—Unforgivable!

"Stop!" Seeing Mo Han raise the dagger, Li Zhendong finally caved in—he compromised! That one hundred million was important, a chance for the Li family to rise. But compared to his grandson’s life, it was something he could indeed give up.

Yet even as Mo Han raised the dagger, he didn’t stop. With a swift slash, he severed another of Li Bing’s fingers—his ring finger. The reason for cutting off two of Li Bing’s fingers was not simply to threaten Li Zhendong.

It was revenge.

Earlier, before his awakening, watching Li Bing take away his daughter, Mo Han had felt utter despair. Now, he was taking his revenge on Li Bing. If not for his wife’s sake, not wanting to make things harder for her, he would have snapped Li Bing’s neck without a second thought. Severing two fingers was already the lightest punishment.

Li Bing’s agonized scream broke the air. The excruciating pain from losing two fingers nearly drove him insane. Spoiled and pampered all his life, his endurance for suffering was pitifully low. Just two fingers lost, and it was as if his life was forfeit.

"You… you… you…" Li Zhendong pointed at Mo Han, his hands trembling violently. He hadn’t expected Mo Han to be so ruthless.

"Are you going to transfer the money, or shall I start counting again?" Mo Han’s gaze was icy as he looked at Li Zhendong.

Li Zhendong no longer dared to test Mo Han’s patience. This fiend was a demon! He hurriedly said, "Give me your account number!"

Mo Han sneered, took out his bank card, and tossed it onto the table in front of Li Zhendong.

Li Zhendong gave Mo Han a long, searching look before picking up the card and handing it to the chief financial officer. "Transfer one hundred million to him!"

The CFO nodded quickly, took Mo Han’s card, and contacted the bank to process the transfer.

Ten minutes later, Mo Han’s phone finally beeped with a notification. He glanced at it, pocketed the card, and let his gaze sweep across the faces of the Li family.

"You should be grateful my daughter’s corneas can still be restored. Otherwise, all of you would already be corpses."

With that, Mo Han turned and left the conference room. Only after his figure disappeared did the Li family members breathe a collective sigh of relief, hastily sending Li Bing and Li Xianwu to the hospital.

Mo Han returned to the hospital and paid to have his daughter’s corneas preserved by a special method.

"Where did you get five million?" Li Anan asked, seeing Mo Han transfer the money and arrange for the preservation of their daughter’s corneas.

"Your grandfather transferred it," Mo Han replied with a faint smile.

"Grandfather did?" Li Anan’s eyes widened in disbelief. She knew her grandfather’s temperament. He had never liked Mo Han, and even if Mo Han weren’t a son-in-law by marriage, he would never give him five million.

Mo Han simply smiled and said no more. Although he had felt a strong urge to kill Li Bing, there were some things he didn’t want to trouble Li Anan with.

Since Mo Han didn’t elaborate, Li Anan stopped asking. As long as their daughter’s corneas could be preserved, that was enough.

At eight o’clock that night, their daughter finally woke up. As soon as she did, she started to cry, wailing that her eyes hurt.

"Mama, Mama, my eyes hurt so much, it hurts…" she sobbed.

"Shh, Xiaoxiao, it’ll be better soon, the pain will go away," Li Anan whispered, her heart aching.

"But it really hurts," Xiaoxiao whimpered, trying to rub her eyes.

The more she cried, the more her tears stung the wounded tissue, making the pain worse.

"Xiaoxiao, be good, don’t touch your eyes. It’ll be better by tomorrow." Li Anan gently held her daughter’s hand and comforted her softly.

"Mama, I can’t see anything. They cut out my corneas. I’m blind, Mama, I’m scared. I’ll never see you again…" Xiaoxiao’s sobs grew more and more heartbroken.

Li Anan’s nose stung, tears rolling down her cheeks. She said through her pain, "Don’t cry, Xiaoxiao. The doctor said your corneas can be restored soon. Then you’ll be able to see Mama again."

"Mama, I don’t want Papa anymore. He didn’t save me. When they cut my corneas, it hurt so much and I was so scared..." Xiaoxiao cried again.

Mo Han’s heart twisted with pain, hatred for the Tan family burning in his veins. But his daughter’s words hurt him even more, shattering his heart.

He hated himself for awakening too late. If only he had awakened a little earlier, his daughter wouldn’t have had to suffer so much.

"Xiaoxiao, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault for letting you endure such pain…" Mo Han’s voice choked, two tears escaping despite himself.

He, once the Lord of the Netherworld, reborn for two lifetimes and bathed in blood countless times, was shedding tears for the first time today.

"Don’t blame Papa, Xiaoxiao. He came to save you. He brought you back from the Tan family and recovered your corneas. Soon you’ll be able to see again," Li Anan quickly comforted, shivering as she saw Mo Han’s tears.

"Okay, Mama, I won’t blame Papa. They were too fierce, Papa couldn’t beat them. Mama, my eyes still hurt so much…" Xiaoxiao said obediently.

At that moment, a nurse entered and said, "The anesthesia has worn off, so the wound hurts a lot now. I’ll give her a sedative injection to help her sleep. She’ll feel better after resting until tomorrow."

"Thank you," Li Anan replied gratefully.

"It’s nothing." The nurse shook her head, administered the sedative, and soon Xiaoxiao drifted into a peaceful sleep.

"She’ll feel much better when she wakes up tomorrow," the nurse added.

"Thank you so much!" Li Anan said hurriedly.

The nurse nodded and left.

"You should go home and rest. I’ll stay here with Xiaoxiao tonight," Mo Han said to Li Anan.

Li Anan, knowing her daughter wouldn’t wake up until morning and unable to sleep well in the hospital, nodded. Before leaving, she ordered a boxed dinner for Mo Han on her phone.

Mo Han sat by the bedside, quietly watching his daughter’s pale face, the killing intent in his heart rising uncontrollably.

Three days. In three days, the entire Tan family would pay a terrible price. For making his daughter suffer so much, the Tan family was beyond forgiveness.

As for Li Anan, she returned home only to find her parents sitting on the sofa, their faces clouded with worry. She frowned and asked, "What’s happened?"

"A disaster!" Her mother, Xu Fang, looked at her anxiously and cried, "Something terrible has happened!"
