Chapter 91: The Zuo Family Makes Its Move

"It's nothing, just a few people from the underground factions who weren't willing to give up. I've already dealt with them," Mo Han replied with a gentle smile.

Naturally, he would never tell Li An'an that those men were assassins. He didn't want her to worry.

"Alright," Li An'an nodded, dismissing the matter from her mind. The entire underground scene in Qian City had been taken down by Mo Han; even the underground king, Fifth Master, had fallen. As for the lesser thugs and petty criminals, they could never hope to harm Mo Han now.

Li An'an no longer lived in constant anxiety as she had before.

Mo Han started the car and took Li An'an to the mall.

Li An'an bought two sets of clothes and picked out a suit for Mo Han before returning to the villa atop the hill.

Li Xiande called to say he would be entertaining clients and wouldn't be home for dinner.

Since returning to work, Li Xiande was relentless; even Mo Han and Li An'an couldn't convince him to slow down.

Soon, Xu Fang finished cooking, and the four of them enjoyed their meal together with laughter and ease.

Everything was gradually falling into place. Life was free of pressure, and aside from Li Xiande's tireless work, the family appeared relaxed and content.

Not long after, Mo Han received a call from Xu Jing.

Xu Jing informed him that the investigation was complete: the Qin family had hired assassins from the Heavenly Kill Organization to murder him.

"The Qin family?" Mo Han hung up, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

...

While Mo Han's family was enjoying their tranquil life, elsewhere, Zuo Wenshan had begun his revenge.

"Uncle Qi, your task today is to lure Mo Han away and break his limbs. Do you understand?" Zuo Wenshan said to Zuo Lengqi.

Zuo Lengqi glanced at the photos and nodded.

"Go ahead then," Zuo Wenshan ordered.

"Alright," Zuo Lengqi replied and strode out.

"Li Bing, it's time for us to act as well," Zuo Wenshan said to Li Bing nearby. "Once I take down Li An'an, I'll help you and your father reclaim the Lin Pharmaceutical Factory and help you rise again."

"Thank you, Young Master Zuo. By the way, is Young Master Wu not joining us?" Li Bing nodded, excitement stirring in his heart.

He knew the power of the Zuo family—it was even more formidable than the Chen family, the top clan in Qian City. With the Zuo family's help, he doubted Jiang Li could hold onto the factory.

"Hmph, don't worry about him. He's just a coward," Zuo Wenshan snorted.

He was still somewhat displeased that Wu Feng lacked the courage to join him against Mo Han and the pharmaceutical factory. Wu Feng had shown no backbone.

But in Zuo Wenshan's view, it was simply disrespectful to him.

"Young Master Zuo, how do you intend to make the factory collapse?" Li Bing asked curiously.

"Hmph, bringing down the factory is just a matter of a single word," Zuo Wenshan replied with a cold smile. "Did you really think I had you list all the factory's business partners just for show?"

"So Young Master Zuo means... You want all the major partners to sever their ties with the factory?" Li An'an's eyes lit up. With the Zuo family's influence, the factory's collaborators would have no choice but to comply.

Once they cooperated with the Zuo family, the factory would surely have no way out.

"Exactly. We've already contacted every one of the factory's partners—they've all agreed to terminate their cooperation today," Zuo Wenshan sneered.

"Right now, the factory's largest partner is Dongjia Group. I hear they've signed a two hundred million contract. If they break off with the factory, the factory won't survive," Li Bing said excitedly.

"Yes. Dongjia Group will give the Zuo family its due respect!" Zuo Wenshan snorted.

"Impressive, Young Master Zuo!" Li Bing said, genuinely admiring him.

Zuo Wenshan wore a proud expression, lit a cigarette, and waited for the results.

A small pharmaceutical factory was beneath his notice.

Yet Mo Han and Li An'an insisted on provoking him; they could not blame him for being ruthless.

Still, Li An'an was indeed born beautiful. Even in Da Yu Prefecture, where women were as plentiful as clouds, he had never encountered a woman so striking as Li An'an.

If she were brought to Yu Prefecture, she would be a peerless beauty.

Such a woman could only be possessed by someone of the Zuo family's status.

Zuo Wenshan licked his lips, unconsciously indulging in his own fantasies.

...

The next day when Li An'an arrived at work, she was stunned.

The entire pharmaceutical factory was in chaos.

Almost all their partners had suddenly called; upstream suppliers were aggressively demanding payment and refusing to supply materials.

Downstream distributors stopped purchasing, and their debts would not be repaid for another month.

Most troubling of all, Dongjia Group had once again unilaterally canceled their contract, demanding a refund within the day.

Every executive knew that someone was deliberately targeting their company.

If this continued, their cash flow would soon break, and bankruptcy would be inevitable.

As the CEO, Li An'an felt lost.

She understood all too well: Mo Han had offended too many people lately, and now they were retaliating.

But she had no idea who was behind the attack on the factory.

"Only three families in Qian City have this kind of power. Could it be one of them targeting us?" Li An'an frowned.

Mo Han considered for a moment. "I don't think it's them. If I had to guess, it's likely the Zuo family from Yu Prefecture."

He had no feud with the three families; they had no reason to provoke him.

That left only the aggressive Zuo family.

"The Zuo family from Yu Prefecture?" Li An'an was startled. She was well aware of their strength and recalled how Mo Han had slapped the second young master of the Zuo family days ago.

If it truly was the Zuo family, how could they respond?

The Zuo family's foundation was far beyond what their small factory could match.

"It seems the Zuo family is more formidable than I thought, to be able to handle all our suppliers and distributors in a single day. I underestimated them before," Mo Han said calmly.

"What should we do? We don't even know who the Zuo family is. How do we break through?" Li An'an asked anxiously.

"It's fine. Their goal is only to cut off our financial resources. Leave the funding issue to me. As for upstream suppliers, don't worry about them; with money, you can buy materials anywhere. You'll just need to redevelop your distributor channels," Mo Han answered.

"What about Dongjia Group's money? Most of those two hundred million have already been invested in the new plant," Li An'an worried.

"Ignore them. They breached the contract unilaterally. They're just afraid of the Zuo family and switched sides, thinking they could play me for a fool?" Mo Han's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. If Yan Yutang wanted to take it to court, so be it. If he tried anything tougher, Mo Han would deal with him accordingly.

Li An'an nodded. This was their only option for now.

If they could survive this period, and once Mo Han subdued the Zuo family, she doubted any distributor would dare cause trouble.

Once their backer, the Zuo family, was toppled, the lesser players would be nothing in comparison.

"President Li, everything's fine. Manager Zhao is willing to give us a loan," Ma Jiaojiao announced suddenly after taking a call.

"Really? How much is he willing to lend?" Li An'an asked excitedly.

"At least five hundred million. The specific terms will require negotiation," Ma Jiaojiao replied.

"Good. Set up a meeting—I’ll go discuss it. As long as we can secure more than five hundred million, we can resolve everything," Li An'an nodded.

Mo Han prepared to check on Xu Jing and the others' training.

As he walked down the office building, he suddenly sensed a strong murderous aura.

His brows rose as he headed toward the main entrance.

He soon saw a middle-aged man in his forties approaching him.

Behind the man, lying on the ground, were the two security guards who had been watching the gate.

Seeing this scene, a flash of deadly resolve appeared in Mo Han's eyes.
