Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Annihilate the Liu Family

Mengmeng blinked her big eyes, looking at Yin Ruxue and Jiang Fan.

"Did you two have a fight with that uncle? He was nice to me just now. He even gave me candy."

"Mengmeng, listen to Daddy. From now on, you must never go with strangers, understand?"

Yin Ruxue also scooped Mengmeng up into her arms and said in a grave voice, "Mengmeng, haven’t Mommy and your preschool teachers taught you to never, ever go with strangers?"

"But they said they could take me to find my Mommy and Daddy!" Mengmeng said naively.

"What if they were lying to you?" Yin Ruxue sighed.

"Mommy, I know. I won’t do it again!"

Yin Ruxue nodded, still looking shaken as she held Mengmeng.

"I’m sorry. Today was all my fault..."

"Let’s not talk about this in front of the child," Yin Ruxue said flatly, carrying Mengmeng toward the orphanage.

Mengmeng seemed to sense something was wrong and buried herself in Yin Ruxue’s embrace, not daring to say a word.

Jiang Fan followed behind and sent a message to Jun Yue, telling her they had found Mengmeng and giving her a simple, understated excuse.

Back at the orphanage, Jun Yue and Li Qian’Er were already waiting for them at the gate.

"You found her! Thank goodness. How could I have ever shown my face at the orphanage otherwise?" Li Qian’Er said, looking at Mengmeng with lingering fear.

"Mengmeng, hurry and apologize to Qian’Er and Auntie Jun Yue. Tell them you won’t run off again!" Yin Ruxue said, patting Mengmeng.

"Qian’Er, Auntie Jun Yue, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have run off!"

Mengmeng obediently began to apologize to Li Qian’Er and Jun Yue.

Yin Ruxue gently set Mengmeng down and added, "Now go apologize to Grandma Matron and the others so they won’t worry anymore."

"Qian’Er, you take Mengmeng!"

Just then, Jun Yue suddenly said to Li Qian’Er.

Li Qian’Er glanced at Jun Yue and immediately understood. She knew Jun Yue had something to say to Jiang Fan and Yin Ruxue, so she quickly led Mengmeng inside the orphanage.

Now, only the three of them remained at the orphanage gate.

"President Yin, Jiang Fan, what exactly happened? It doesn’t seem like Mengmeng just wandered off on her own."

Jun Yue’s brows were tightly furrowed. She had already keenly sensed that this matter wasn’t so simple.

"It was Liu Jianghe," Jiang Fan admitted without hiding anything.

"The Liu Family from Chenel?" Jun Yue asked.

"Yeah."

"Jiang Fan, what on earth did you do to offend the Liu Family? Not only did they team up with Fengming Group to make things difficult for President Yin, but now they’ve come after you directly," Jun Yue said with a worried expression.

With a dark expression, Jiang Fan briefly recounted how he had beaten up Liu Yingtai.

At that moment, Yin Ruxue sighed.

"It seems I underestimated the Liu Family. I originally thought that since Rong Anyao’s dangerous situation was because of us at Xuerong International, I could just compensate the Liu Family with some money and be done with it. It looks like they have no intention of letting this go."

"So, it was all because of a woman again, Jiang Fan!" Jun Yue remarked.

"Junyue, don’t mock me at a time like this."

Jun Yue sighed and said, "Alright. I’ll ask some of my business contacts and see if we can find a way to negotiate a truce with the Liu Family. After all, they’re from Chenel, and as the saying goes, a powerful dragon can’t crush a local snake."

"There’s no need, Junyue. I know how to handle this," Jiang Fan said, gritting his teeth.

"Jiang Fan, you can’t act recklessly again!" Yin Ruxue said coldly.

"I know, but hiding isn’t a solution. Does that Liu Jianghe look like the type to let me off the hook easily?"

"Then what do you plan to do?"

"You know Elder Lu of the Lu Family, right?" Jiang Fan said. "I have a bit of a connection with him. Junyue is right, a powerful dragon can’t crush a local snake. If Elder Lu steps in, Liu Jianghe might just show him some respect."

"Elder Lu?" Yin Ruxue’s eyes lit up. "If he’s really willing to get involved, this matter might actually have a chance of being resolved!"

"Right! So don’t worry."

Yin Ruxue looked at Jiang Fan and nodded doubtfully.

"It’s getting late. I’m going to go in and check on Mengmeng. We should be heading back soon."

Yin Ruxue glanced inside the orphanage and slowly walked in.

Jun Yue, perhaps still worried, followed her.

Jiang Fan watched the children playing inside the orphanage, then took out his phone and called Elder Lu.

"Jiang, what’s the occasion? How come you have time to call me?" The cheerful voice of Elder Lu came from the other end of the line.

"Elder Lu, it’s like this... I’ve run into a bit of trouble recently, and I was hoping you could help me out."

"Jiang, if there’s anything this old man can do to help, just say the word."

Hearing how readily Elder Lu agreed, Jiang Fan didn’t beat around the bush.

"Elder Lu, do you know of the Liu Family from Chenel?"

"The Liu Family? Of course, I know them. They’re a force comparable to our Eight Great Clans of Yang City. This old man has certainly heard of them."

"Well, here’s the thing. A little while ago, I beat up Liu Jianghe’s son, Liu Yingtai. He’s in the hospital now."

"You beat up Liu Jianghe’s son?" Elder Lu’s voice clearly rose in pitch on the other end.

"Yes."

"So, Jiang, you’re looking for me to be a mediator and help resolve the conflict between you and the Liu Family? Don’t worry, Jiang. Worst case, we give the Liu Family a proper apology and compensate them with some money. This old man should still have enough face for that."

"Elder Lu, I think you’ve misunderstood me..." Jiang Fan gave a bitter laugh. "I don’t want to make peace with the Liu Family. I want to destroy them."

"Destroy the Liu Family! COUGH, COUGH..."

On the other end of the line, Elder Lu nearly choked and coughed violently for a few moments.

"Elder Lu, as the saying goes, some things are simply intolerable. That Liu Jianghe comes over from Chenel and not only tries to walk all over me, but he also threatens my family. If I just let it slide, I wouldn’t be a man at all."

"Jiang, this is no joking matter. Do you have any idea how many Grandmasters the Liu Family has? They are not an existence that an ordinary person can deal with."

"Elder Lu, do I look like an ordinary person to you?"

"This... this..."

"Elder Lu, I only need your help with one thing today. I want you to use your power to investigate the Liu Family for me. I need a detailed file on them. Also, during this time, I need you to help me protect a few people."

"That’s not a problem, but Jiang, you need to think this through..."

"Elder Lu, I’ll send you the names of the people I need protected. You must send some of your best men. As for the rest, you don’t need to worry about it."

"Alright!"

Elder Lu was quite straightforward. Jiang Fan didn’t delay either. After hanging up, he sent over the names of Yin Ruxue and Mengmeng, as well as Sun Yanzi and Rong Anyao. Finally, he also added Li Muwan’s name.
