Chapter 168: Storm and Uncertainty? The Fate of the An Family and the Lin Family!

An Yinuo clenched her fists, her eyes excitedly looking at Lin Weiwei.

"Weiwei, now is the best timing!"

"Instead of finding Song Mo and sincerely apologizing to his face like we originally planned,"

"it's better that we firmly stand by his side now, when Song Mo is in his most difficult moment."

"Regardless of the final outcome, whether he can weather the crisis or not,"

"Song Mo's impression of us will greatly improve!"

Lin Weiwei felt An Yinuo's proposal was indeed feasible.

But...

Lin Weiwei hesitated for a moment, then asked An Yinuo:

"Yinuo, that's true what you say."

"But the forces currently targeting and blockading Song Mo are simply too powerful. From what I understand, those pharmaceutical giants must have felt the threat from Huachuang Pharmaceutical Group."

"So they want to band together to boycott Huachuang."

"What leverage do the two of us have to help Song Mo?"

Both An Yinuo and Lin Weiwei were young ladies; the power within their families was in the hands of their fathers.

But facing the joint force of the pharmaceutical giants,

would An Chenglan and Lin Haisheng—these two shrewd men to the extreme—really listen to their daughters' choice and step in to help Song Mo?

Lin Weiwei did not have that confidence.

An Yinuo was an only child.

And compared to An Yinuo, she herself still had an older brother above her.

Hearing Lin Weiwei's words, An Yinuo hesitated for a moment.

A look of resolve appeared in her eyes.

"No matter what, we have to try!"

When An Chenglan saw his daughter again, he was somewhat surprised to see that her emotions were stable, as if she had already fully recovered.

Didn't the doctor say it was severe depression?

This kind of illness,

could it really get better this quickly?

The moment An Yinuo saw An Chenglan, she got straight to the point:

"Dad, you must help Song Mo this time!"

"Last time you chose to stand on the opposite side of Song Mo. This time, are you still going to be a fence-sitter?"

"Now is the best chance to mend the relationship between you and Song Mo!"

An Chenglan was left speechless.

He hadn't expected that the first thing his daughter would do after being discharged was to find him and ask him to help Song Mo through the crisis.

As a local power, An Chenglan naturally knew

what was really behind the Song Mo smear campaign and the encirclement of Huachuang Group that were causing such an uproar online.

Song Mo was young and aggressive, leaving no room for even the slightest concession.

Therefore, becoming the target of everyone was almost inevitable.

An Chenglan fell into deep thought.

Could he help Song Mo? Naturally, he could.

In fact, the strength An Chenglan could provide far exceeded An Yinuo's imagination.

Moreover, as an old fox, he was far more cunning than those pharmaceutical giants.

The moment the other party so much as twitched their behind, An Chenglan could tell what kind of dung they were about to drop.

He also had ways to counter them.

But, it wasn't worth it.

An Chenglan was weighing which would bring greater benefit—helping Song Mo, or protecting himself.

If he went through all the trouble to help Song Mo, only for Song Mo to end up saying, "I didn't ask for your help," wouldn't that be enough to make An Chenglan spit blood from sheer rage?

After deliberating repeatedly,

An Chenglan still did not speak.

An Yinuo grew a little angry.

"Dad, last time you were the same—standing on the opposite side of Song Mo. And after he took care of Leng Wanqiu, you wanted me to go apologize to him!"

"If you do the same thing this time!"

"Then there really won't be any room left to salvage the relationship between the An Family and the Song Family!"

An Yinuo's words jolted An Chenglan awake from his calculations of gains and losses.

He realized he had overlooked one very critical factor.

That was...

The force behind Song Mo was terrifyingly powerful!

The Beijing Leng Family—that was a family even stronger than the An Family.

The Leng Family had gone from being domineering and overbearing to now cowering in a corner, and even having to proactively cut off their own flesh to seek the protection of other powerful families.

How miserable was that?

Two questions lay before An Chenglan, urgent and pressing!

First, improve the relationship with Song Mo!

Second, hop on board Song Mo's speedboat!

An Chenglan clenched his teeth hard and looked at An Yinuo:

"Yinuo, do you know who all those people targeting Song Mo are?"

"It's a gathering of the giants in the pharmaceutical industry!"

"The relationships are tangled and complicated, their power deeply entrenched!"

"Helping Song Mo — do you know what price your father would have to pay?"

An Chenglan said in a deep voice:

"It's very likely that the An Family would also be dragged down by the Song Family!"

An Yinuo was greatly disappointed.

She had thought that after all that buildup, An Chenglan was going to refuse to help Song Mo.

Who would have known, An Chenglan suddenly shifted his tone.

"But Yinuo, you are my daughter!"

"I've already disappointed you once — how could I disappoint you a second time?"

An Chenglan declared resolutely:

"The Song Family — I'll help them!"

An Yinuo, while happy, was also thinking it over in her heart.

After awakening the memories of her past life, although in some places she still seemed a bit slow, she was no longer as foolish as before.

Now she was thinking,

What was the purpose of An Chenglan going to such great lengths to create such a reversal?

【Dad clearly weighed the pros and cons himself and made his own choice, but in the end, he still has to say it was entirely for me that he paid such a price】

【All that buildup before was just to trade for my gratitude】

A chill ran through An Yinuo's heart.

This family fortune — better off without it!

Might as well give it all to Song Mo!

If An Chenglan knew what An Yinuo was thinking, he would surely be so angry he'd spit blood. He had seen elbows that bend outward, but he had truly never seen one so eager to just hand things over for free!

……

On the other side, the Lin Family.

Lin Haisheng was indeed an old ginger who had schemed against and cooperated with An Chenglan for many years.

In fact, on this matter,

Lin Haisheng thought further ahead than An Chenglan!

Right now the entire internet is attacking Huachuang Pharmaceutical Group, with so many companies and individuals picking fights — why is there not the slightest movement from Song Mo's side?

Is it because he's already overwhelmed with work and doesn't want the outside world to know his true situation?

Or is it because…

This young man who had dazzled him.

Holding an absolute trump card in his hands, a faint smile playing at the corner of his lips, calmly sipping his tea, coolly watching the storms raging outside?

"Dad, just help Song Mo this once."

His daughter Lin Weiwei was still pleading by Lin Haisheng's ear.

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Haisheng's tiger-like eyes — he had already made his decision!

"Help!"

……

Under the encirclement and attack from many sides.

The sales of Huachuang Group's pharmaceutical products plummeted rapidly.

Some with far-reaching connections even brought in inspectors to come directly and check Huachuang Group's products.

How similar was this scene to the way Leng Wanqiu had brought in investigators back then?

In outsiders' eyes, Huachuang Group was a newborn tiger cub.

But unfortunately, before it could grow up, it was about to collapse midway.

It was truly a time of storm and uncertainty…
