Chapter 301: Oh No, Did Enforcer Zhao Turn to the Other Side?!

Mo Residence.

In the courtyard, an ordinary-looking man was kneeling respectfully.

He was a member of the Mo family and a core member of the secret organization “Mo Yin.”

In front of him sat Mo Qingyuan, the leader of “Mo Yin” and the future heir of the Mo family.

At this moment.

“Leader, all eighteen people from the Wu, Cai, and Li families monitoring the clinic have been eliminated.”

“However, our losses were greater than expected. We sent fifty-four people, and only thirty-six returned.”

“The rest were all killed.”

The subordinate reported methodically.

Mo Qingyuan, seated in his wheelchair, furrowed his brow.

Three against one, with the advantage of information and the element of surprise, how did they still end up with a one-to-one casualty rate?

He tapped the wooden table with his fingers and asked softly.

“…Losses were that severe?”

“…Yes, because the target was a peak Transformation expert, the three families sent only the best, highly skilled fighters…”

The subordinate spoke cautiously, knowing his leader detested excuses for failed missions.

However, he had no other choice: “To avoid alerting Wang Haoran, each team opted for swift assaults, abandoning defense for all-out attacks… In the face of their counterattacks…”

“…”

“The operation didn’t attract undue attention?”

“No! Neither the three families nor Wang Haoran noticed our actions!”

“Any movement from Wang Haoran?”

“None! It appears he has stayed in Miss Zhu Xiwang’s clinic the whole time.”

While answering, the subordinate paused, knowing his leader harbored feelings for Miss Zhu Xiwang… Hearing another man living with her surely soured his mood!

Indeed.

Mo Qingyuan’s expression remained unreadable as he dismissed the subordinate.

After he left.

Mo Qingyuan turned to his cousin, Mo Qinglan.

“Qinglan, what do you think about this?”

Over the years, Mo Qinglan had become the vice leader of “Mo Yin,” with exceptional intelligence-gathering abilities that had significantly bolstered the organization, infiltrating major families.

This time, too, Mo Qinglan had quickly uncovered Wang Haoran’s strength and background.

Thus, Mo Qingyuan placed great trust in her.

Hearing the question, Mo Qinglan confidently responded:

“I think there’s no major issue; as long as we achieve our goal, it’s fine.”

“Next, we just need to arrange the evidence to convince the three families and the Holy Land enforcer that Wang Haoran is the culprit!”

“And then, Zhu Xiwang will leave Wang Haoran!”

While saying this to Mo Qingyuan, she knew Zhu Xiwang had become love-struck with Wang Haoran and would never leave him!

So, during the attempt to kill Wang Haoran, Zhu Xiwang would certainly intervene, and then…

To her, aside from Mo Qingyuan, everyone else was NPC; their casualties were mere numbers.

A few days ago, she had instigated Mo Qingyuan to murder the heirs of the three families and wiped out the Zhu family years ago. She saw it all as logical.

After all, it was for Yuanbao! (tln : Qingyuan nickname from Qinglan)

Now, she felt a bit resentful—

“Hmph, damn Zhu Xiwang, just you wait! You made Yuanbao pine for you all these years!”

“It’s because of you I never had a chance!”

“This time, our four families joining forces, along with the Piao Miao Holy Land enforcer, we will certainly kill Wang Haoran!”

“Hmph, and then you won’t escape either!”

She had meticulously crafted a perfect plan to win over Yuanbao!

——

However, Mo Qinglan could never have anticipated.

At this moment, Zhao Nishang, whom she counted on as the key player to kill Wang Haoran, was saying in the Li family’s hall, with delight—

“What is your name?!”

She placed her hands on Wang Haoran’s shoulders, looking very excited.

This sudden action shocked Wang Haoran, Zhu Nan, and the Wu, Cai, and Li family heads alike.

Initially.

Seeing her rush over in a hurry, Wang Haoran thought she might have found out about his slap!

But now, it seemed the situation was different.

Zhao Nishang’s reaction… seeing my face, getting so excited, asking my name… could she be an acquaintance, a distant relative or something?

Curious, Wang Haoran decided to see what she had to say.

“My name is Wang Haoran.”

“…Wang Haoran… surname Wang…”

So, he was indeed the Wang Haoran mentioned by the three families, what a coincidence!

However, Zhao Nishang had already forgotten the three families’ request.

She gazed at Wang Haoran expectantly: “Then… is your mother’s surname Zhao?”

“My mom?”

Wang Haoran frowned.

But quickly, he recalled—

“…No, her surname is Xue.”

But hearing the denial, Zhao Nishang wasn’t disappointed; instead, she became even more excited.

She leaned closer.

“Is her name Xue Xiaoyun?!”

“…No, her name is more impressive, it’s—”

“Xue Jinghong.”

“!!!”

“Xue Jinghong?!”

“…Yes.”

Wang Haoran saw Zhao Nishang literally burst with joy upon hearing his mother’s name—

Yes! It definitely was Sister Xiaoyun!

To think she really changed her name!

She remembered long ago, Sister Xiaoyun complaining to her—

“Xiaoshengr, my name sounds so ugly!”

“Your ‘Nishang’ sounds like a beauty, but my ‘Xiaoyun’ sounds like a maid! I want to change my name!”

“Hehe, I decided long ago; from now on I’ll be—Xue Jinghong!”

“Xiaoshengr, your name comes from ‘Nishang Feathered Garment Song,’ so I’ll be from ‘Graceful Jinghong Dance,’ nice, right?”

“…Nice!”

Back then, she thought Sister Xiaoyun was speaking off the top of her head and didn’t take it seriously.

But now, hearing Wang Haoran mention it, she immediately recalled this memory.

No one except her would remember the name “Xue Jinghong.” Certainly, no one expected Wang Haoran to say it. Seeing his similar appearance…

He’s undoubtedly Sister Xiaoyun’s child!

Thinking this, Zhao Nishang excitedly grasped Wang Haoran’s hand.

“My name is Zhao Nishang! I’m your mother’s friend.”

“Your mother must have told you about me? I called her Sister Xiaoyun, and she called me Xiaoshengr!”

Although it should be pronounced “Nishang,” Sister Xiaoyun insisted on “Nishang,” and nicknamed her “Xiaoshengr.”

But she liked it.

She gazed at Wang Haoran with gentle eyes—

“Haoran, by seniority, you can call me Aunt!”

“…?!”

“…?!”

“…?!”

This declaration left everyone, except Zhao Nishang, stunned.

Wang Haoran and Zhu Nan were relatively composed.

But the Wu, Cai, and Li family heads were in dire straits.

At this moment, their minds were buzzing with questions—

Are you messing with us?

We can’t defeat Wang Haoran, so we invited Enforcer Zhao as our backer.

And now you tell us, you’re his relative?!

How are we supposed to fight now?!
