Let's talk about the real business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe you called me here for a meeting, not just to complain, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Wentian paused, looking deeply at Chen Fan. Then he glanced inconspicuously at his eldest son beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Mingyu understood and immediately spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some time ago, because of the club incident, you took 26 million yuan from our Zhao family for free.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now you're causing this trouble again, do you really think our Zhao family is a fat sheep? Everyone can take a bite?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's already extremely generous of us to meet with you, if it were someone else, you might have already become a corpse in a smelly sewer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing these words, Chen Fan suddenly laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're wrong. The reason I can sit here is not because of your kindness, but because I have the ability to protect myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, regarding the club incident, you should know better than me what really happened. Is there any point in talking about it now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Mingyu suddenly laughed coldly, \"The ability to protect yourself? To be honest, I really want to try and see, if I take action against you, how exactly would you protect yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With just one word from me, you might die mysteriously tomorrow. You could be stabbed to death, hit by a car, or just walking down the street and beaten to death by a few small gangsters...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A threat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can assure you that before you take action to kill me, your Zhao family will definitely pay a price.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right now, it's just your entertainment venues that were affected, but who's to say that there won't be more leaks about other issues with your Zhao family in the future?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like tax evasion, power-for-sex transactions, bribery of officials, or other unsavory dealings!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan stared at Zhao Mingyu and smiled faintly, \"It's just a question of whether you'll be able to withstand it when the whole thing blows up...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words made Zhao Mingyu's expression change slightly, and he instinctively looked at his father beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Wentian's face was expressionless, but his right hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly, showing that his mood was not calm at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truth was, the Zhao family had too much dirt under the rug, too many dirty secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't guarantee how much evidence against the Zhao family Chen Fan had in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Chen Fan had evidence or not, the Zhao family was already facing a huge risk. If other scandals emerged now, would the Zhao family really be able to withstand it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Zhao Wentian looked at Chen Fan and said coldly, \"I underestimated you before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan was expressionless, \"I just want to be a quiet businessman, but unfortunately, your second son doesn't seem to want my business to go smoothly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Talking about this is meaningless now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Wentian raised his hand and put out his cigarette, looking at Chen Fan in silence for two seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This matter... ends here. Previous grievances, let's leave them in the past.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can give you a promise that in the future, Zhao Longqi, including the Zhao family, will no longer bother you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhao Wentian said this, he felt that he had given Chen Fan a great deal of face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, with his status, just agreeing to meet Chen Fan today was already giving face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, even when facing business tycoons or underworld bigwigs, Zhao Wentian had never taken the initiative to seek reconciliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was indeed unprecedented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had given this kid some face, and this kid should have been grateful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the development of the situation seemed to go beyond Zhao Wentian's expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Chen Fan sitting opposite him didn't show any excited expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't agree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Wentian was stunned, while Zhao Mingyu stared wide-eyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan slowly spoke, \"Zhao Longqi has repeatedly caused trouble at my shop several times, once hiring people to set a fire, and four times having people smash the shop, resulting in huge economic losses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you owe me compensation for this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Wentian stared blankly at Chen Fan, suddenly laughing in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young man, do you know what you're saying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In all my years, no one has ever dared to speak to me like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've given you a way out, but you refuse to take it. Aren't you afraid to die?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan suddenly sat up straight, his gaze calmly fixed on Zhao Wentian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I'm afraid to die. But... aren't you afraid of Zhao Longqi going to prison?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have plenty of evidence against him, and I think the police would be very interested.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I think the police would be even more interested in evidence about the Zhao family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Insolence!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Wentian slammed the table and shouted angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, several tables of customers all looked over in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan sat quietly opposite, his expression unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old man, since things have come to this, you might as well make a graceful exit, to avoid losing both face and dignity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Wentian stared at Chen Fan for a long while, then suddenly laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. You're impressive. It's been a long time since I've seen a young man like you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan didn't bother with more words, and spoke directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For the equipment smashed in the shop, plus the business losses. 3 million yuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You pay. Then this matter ends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Wentian nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mingyu, pay him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said pay him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Mingyu hesitated for a moment, but eventually took out a checkbook from his pocket, wrote down the amount, signed it, tore it off and put it in front of Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only, the way he looked at Chen Fan was as if he wanted to devour him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Wentian slowly stood up, \"Young man, let me give you a piece of advice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the business world, don't be too arrogant. Sometimes, having one more friend is better than having one more enemy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Wentian stared at Chen Fan for one last look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember what you said, this matter ends here, and you are not to interfere further.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, Zhao Wentian snorted coldly, turned around and left without looking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Mingyu hurriedly stood up, also giving Chen Fan a look before quickly following after his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan picked up the check and glanced at it, a slight smile appearing on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conflict with the Zhao family could no longer be resolved, so he didn't mind being a bit tougher with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether the Zhao family would cause more trouble in the future, Chen Fan didn't care at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he clearly remembered that in the previous life, in 2007, the protective umbrella above the Zhao family fell, and the Zhao family's problems were also exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than a month, the Zhao family was arrested, imprisoned, and their entire business empire collapsed almost overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This year was 2002, only five years away from 2007.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could wait.\u003C\u002Fp>",1249,"2026-06-05T15:06:40.702Z",1,"novelbin.me","06f91d2553819fcf10787e6bd3836a34fa197ef328c5d49fa643498d603daad5","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-299","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-297",761,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-cover.jpg"]
