Chapter 458 Strike While the Iron is Hot
The men in black who tied up City Lord Sun and all his men had no intention of killing him.
They just wanted to threaten City Lord Sun to listen to them and help them do things.
But City Lord Sun was very tough. No matter how they threatened, bribed, or beat him, he refused to agree.
The person who threatened and beat City Lord Sun was Mo Beisang, who had not yet become the leader of the White Tiger Hall.
After he had tired City Lord Sun out, he took off the mask on his face to breathe, and was just seen by Sun Meilan.
Seeing that City Lord Sun was unwilling to give in no matter how he fought, Mo Beisang was furious and prepared to use his children to threaten him.
At this time, Han Zhubo, now the City Lord Han, arrived with a dozen experts and rescued City Lord Sun and his family.
Seeing that they were wearing official uniforms, Sun Meilan thought her father was saved. When she was about to crawl back in to reunite with her family, she unexpectedly saw the nightmare of her life.
Han Zhubo led his men to kill her father and all her family members, and blood flowed like a river that night.
Sun Meilan was so frightened that she fainted.
When she woke up, she saw them pouring kerosene on her father's body and trying to burn their bodies. Sun Meili couldn't help it.
When she was about to ask the other party why he killed her father, Lao Zhang arrived in time and took her away.
…
After Sun Meilan finished speaking about her own affairs, her eyes looked straight at Lin Mo:
"That bastard Han Shuo was very clever. He pushed the blame onto the bandits, then led his troops to wipe out a bandit den, claiming it was revenge for my family. He then smoothly ascended to the position of city lord."
As she spoke, Sun Meilan calmed down. "To prevent Han Shuo from knowing I was still alive, I hid with Lao Zhang from place to place. It was only six years later that I returned to Mocheng."
Having said that, Sun Meilan paused and shook her head:
I am very different now that I have grown up than I was when I was a child.
When I returned to Mocheng, no one recognized me.
Not recognizing me naturally makes it easier for me to act.
I tried to get close to Han Shuo and assassinate him, but I failed. There was no way I could get in touch with someone like Han Shuo.
The bottom line is that my background is too ordinary, which makes the other party not want to see me.
So, I had to make sure I had a background. I chose Zhang Liming, took the hidden money my father gave me, and went directly to him, and told him my request.
I helped him gain a foothold in Mocheng, and he helped me deal with my enemies, but I didn't tell him who my enemies were.
With my help, Zhang Liming quickly gained a foothold in Mo City.
But what I didn't expect was that he actually became Han Shuo's lackey. I worked hard behind his back to help him make money, but I didn't expect that all the money I earned would end up in Han Shuo's hands. Isn't that ironic?!"
Sun Meilan couldn't help laughing at herself as she spoke, "I don't care if he keeps a concubine, supports her son, or ruins our son.
But he shouldn't forget what he promised me. He has to stand by me and avenge my family."
I have endured humiliation and lived for so many years just to be able to kill the enemy with my own hands one day.
After she finished speaking out about everything, Sun Meilan looked at Lin Mo seriously:
“I know Han Shuo is powerful and has someone backing him up, but please believe me, he is definitely the second Mo Beishan.
Once he takes control of the entire Mo City, the next one he'll eliminate will definitely be your Xu family, so you have no choice at all."
"You said I had no choice, so why are you asking me?" Lin Mo shook his head:
"The Xu family will never sit still and wait for death. If Han Shuo dares to attack our Xu family, we will make him pay for it."
"He is an official..."
"So, the White Tiger Hall is still there." Lin Mo smiled:
"White Tiger Hall is here. Do you think he has the time to trouble me?"
Sun Meilan's face showed a hint of surprise.
Soon it felt natural.
This is the Xu family, never fighting a battle without confidence.
Knowing that City Lord Han is an ambitious man, he still dares to cooperate. It is obvious that he has calculated every step.
Thinking of this, Xu Meilan showed a bitter smile on her face. It seemed that she had taken another wrong step.
The Xu family didn't need to risk mutual destruction and fight to the death with Han Shuo. She was just too naive.
Seeing her face full of bitter smile and despair, Lin Mo sighed, "You dare to tell me these things because you trust me.
Then I will tell you from the bottom of my heart that your parents definitely don’t want you to live in hatred. They definitely want you to live a good, happy and healthy life.
So there’s nothing wrong with wanting revenge, but there’s no need to risk your life. Just take it step by step, and when the time is right, you can take it without any effort, isn’t that good?
Also, you should take your parents' share and live well, so you can see the world for them."
Sun Meilan's eyes suddenly turned red.
Lin Mo ignored her and turned around, leaving a message:
"Your choice from the beginning was wrong. You shouldn't pin your hopes on others. Wouldn't it be better to strengthen yourself?"
Sun Meilan watched Lin Mo leave and pursed her lips.
She is right.
She was wrong from the beginning. If she wanted revenge, she shouldn't have pinned her hopes on others.
Sun Meilan smiled bitterly. She didn't look back. "Uncle Zhang, do you think I've done anything wrong these years?"
She is old now, and if she doesn't take action now, she may never get her revenge.
"Miss, you are not wrong. You have suffered a lot over the years." Lao Zhang sighed:
“It was a choice we didn’t have at the time.”
"Now I have a choice." Sun Meilan sorted out her emotions. This time she turned her head back to look at Lao Zhang, her lips curled slightly:
"I want to be the head of the Zhang family, the one who controls everything in the Zhang family."
…
When Lin Mo arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he put away all his emotions.
When playing games with others, the most taboo thing is to show your emotions.
She hadn't expected that Han Shuo's position as city lord would not come in a glorious way.
She had asked someone to investigate City Lord Han before, and everyone said he was a good official. She thought he had good character, which led to their subsequent cooperation.
He is such an unscrupulous person. Did he really not recognize Sun Meilan's identity?
Lin Mo reserved his opinion.
She guessed that Han Shuo must have recognized Sun Meilan's identity. He was the chief clerk back then and must have frequently visited the City Lord's Mansion. How could he not recognize her?
He never exposed the matter and never sent anyone to kill her to silence her. He thought Sun Meilan didn't know that her family was killed by him, and he wanted to use her to achieve his own goals.
It’s a pity that Han Shuo didn’t know that Sun Meilan had already known about what happened that year, but just kept it to herself.
However, Lin Mo couldn't understand why Sun Meilan didn't take the opportunity to use Mo Beisang to get rid of Han Shuo today?
After all, Mo Beisang knew that if Han Shuo wanted to make a move on him, he would definitely not sit and wait for death, but would choose to take the initiative to attack.
So in fact, Sun Meilan still has some reservations about herself.
Lin Mo shook his head, shook off these random thoughts, and walked towards the crowded hall in front.
When she arrived, she just saw Han Shuo holding his sword high and stabbing at the dying Mo Beisang.
Blood splattered as Lin Mo looked at Mo Beisang, who died with his eyes open. He frowned slightly and then relaxed.
hehe!
City Lord Han laughed heartily and took a step back. "Hui Niang, I have avenged you. Rest in peace!"
Han Ting, who was standing beside him, also had tears in his eyes. He choked up and said, "Mom, Dad has finally avenged you. Rest in peace."
"Our great revenge has been achieved. This is a great thing. Lord Han, would you like to set up a few tables and celebrate properly?" Lin Mo walked in from behind the crowd.
And Xu Ping'an followed closely behind him.
When City Lord Han saw Lin Mo, his laughter stopped abruptly, but he walked towards Lin Mo with a smile on his face. When he was only a few steps away, City Lord Han stopped and said kindly:
"Mrs. Xu is right, we do need to set up a few tables and have a proper celebration.
I was just about to say that we should choose a different day, but when I saw that it was already so late, I realized that there was not enough time, so I had to change the day.
How about celebrating tomorrow?"
City Lord Han had an excited smile on his face. He didn't wait for Lin Mo to speak and slammed the table:
“Strike while the iron is hot, that’s it.
Madam Xu, you must bring your people here tomorrow. They are great contributors.
The White Tiger Hall, which had been destroying Mocheng for decades, was finally uprooted. They played an indispensable role. I would feel bad if I didn't treat them to a meal."
Lin Mo curled the corner of his mouth, fearing that the banquet would not be a good one.
She quickly nodded with a smile, "Okay, tomorrow then.
My people are exhausted after a long day, and tonight they can have a good rest."
Han Shuo said enthusiastically, "Madam Xu, why don't you arrange for them to rest in the City Lord's Mansion?
The City Lord's Mansion is big enough to accommodate at most a hundred people!"
"No need, I have already arranged accommodation for them." Lin Mo smiled:
"The White Tiger Hall headquarters is pretty good."
An awkward look flashed across Han Shuo's face, but he still smiled, "Yeah, that's fine.
If you need help, just tell me!"
"Don't worry, I won't be polite with you." Lin Mo raised his eyebrows:
"After all, I helped you so much, and I lost a lot of people and property, right?"
Han Shuo smiled unnaturally, but nodded.
Lin Mo still looked calm:
"Oh, City Lord Han, Master Wei asked me to tell you that he wants the White Tiger Hall, and he will be the head of the White Tiger Hall from now on.
In addition, he originally wanted to change the name, but couldn't think of a good one at the moment, so he decided to continue calling it Baihutang."
Han Shuo's smile froze on his face.
What do they mean?
