Chapter 1284 - Grand Finale (1)
Chu Yi destroyed the Huo family as a gesture of goodwill towards Mo Beihan. Mo Beihan promised Gu Yunshen to allow Huo Lin to leave the country, and he kept his word.
In that way, the Huo family, which had been universally acknowledged in the capital as being a prominent family, vanished overnight.
All the Huo family's holdings in the capital were destroyed. Everyone in the Huo family left.
The people in the capital did not know about Huo Tianxiang's death. They thought that he left the country with Huo Lin and Huo Tianning.
This drastic change shocked everyone in the capital.
The various major families had not expected the Huo family to vanish just like that.
Everyone's first reaction was that Mo Beihan must have done it. They all thought that Mo Beihan had been overly vicious. This person was a menace. If you accidentally offended him one day, he would exterminate your entire family!
But when their subordinates investigated, they realized that Mo Beihan was not responsible. Of course, Mo Beihan certainly had a hand in this. Although he acted viciously, he had not been utterly ruthless.
Someone else was responsible for this.
The various major families were surprised by the truth. They were curious about who the real mastermind was, and also relieved at Mo Beihan's behavior!

The Mo family was just too powerful. Besides, the Gu family followed them closely - an organization like that was really frightening!
Everyone in the capital hoped that the Mo family would not be too vicious. They were afraid that they could not take it!
In that way, the prominent Huo family just vanished overnight!
As talk about the Huo family gradually died down, people's curiosity turned to other matters. Ye Yihong had been intent on marrying into a noble family, and she immediately became a laughingstock in the capital.
The envy she aroused before her wedding now turned into mocking!
At that moment, in a villa in the suburbs.
Bai Youran was kneeling on the floor, begging Mo Beihan to forgive her.
"It's my fault. I really know that I was at fault. Please, Mo Beihan, have mercy on me! I will never dare to do anything to Gu Qingyao again! Never!"
The once proud and arrogant, rich young lady was now groveling in front of Mo Beihan in hopes that he would let her off.
Mo Beihan had gotten rid of everyone who had ever hurt Gu Qingyao. Bai Youran had once been hostile towards Gu Qingyao, so Mo Beihan naturally would not let her off.
It was not as simple as marrying her off to Mo Yunhao.
Over the years, Mo Beihan practically obtained all the power in the Mo family. The various branches of the family rapidly advanced under his leadership. At that point, Mo Beihan's situation was completely different from when he had first taken over the Mo family.
Mo Beihan neither dabbled in politics nor the military, which worried those in power in the Mo family. They thought that this successor would be unable to maintain the Mo family's position.
But as the years passed, they realized that this had not happened to the Mo family. Not only did the Mo family maintain its position, but it even grew.
The sons and grandsons were all doing well. Now, Mo Beihan held all the reins of power in the Mo family.
For the past few years, even Old Master Mo did not bother with Mo Beihan anymore. He completely let go of all matters!
A few years ago, the Old Master had been dealt a severe blow, and his illness grew worse. Mo Beihan had been more circumspect towards the family members so as not to upset the Old Master.
But now, the Old Master was in the good health, and he agreed with the way Mo Beihan managed the household, so he did not concern himself with such matters any longer.
So this Bai Youran had not just simply been living in a villa in the suburbs.
