Chapter 542: 538. What kind of sin did I commit back then!

"Do you really need me to have someone break all four of your limbs before you'll give up?" Zhang Ran said softly.

The moment his words fell, Zhao Hu's eyes flickered; he snatched an iron rod directly from the hands of a lackey behind him and prepared to charge up.

He had figured it out now: if he wanted to rely on Zhang Ran again, he had to do something. Otherwise, setting aside whether the past was truly settled, the distance between him and Zhang Ran was only growing wider.

He knew about Zhu San's situation; Zhu San had completely settled his past grievances, and everything he had done was enough to make up for his past mistakes in Zhang Ran's heart.

But Zhao Hu was not.

Seeing Zhao Hu's ferocious appearance, especially seeing his eyes, Jin Meng instantly knew this wasn't just for show.

"Fine, I'll do it. Don't regret it when the time comes," Jin Meng said quickly; if he didn't say it now, he would really have his four limbs broken.

Watching his still-stubborn demeanor, Zhang Ran smiled and stopped paying attention to them, coming to the side of the still-worried Fei Lan and saying softly, "Big Sister, it's fine. Things will be resolved very soon."

Fei Lan whispered, "Xiao Ran, won't this cause trouble for you?"

She was genuinely worried; Zhang Ran tonight was completely different from the impression she had of him, and she also knew that with Zhang Ran's current status, doing something like this would cause huge trouble if it were exposed.

Especially since there had been rumors for some time that Zhang Ran had an Original Sin; if this scene were spread, the turmoil that had already subsided would be stirred up once again.

Zhang Ran knew what Big Sister was worried about and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's fine. It won't get out."

"Xiao Ran, you're a real man!" Lao Sun gave a thumbs up.

He had never expected that Zhang Ran, as the Richest Person in China, would actually do something like this in person; at this moment, he truly recognized Zhang Ran.

Although it might seem ridiculous to others—after all, Zhang Ran was the Richest Person in China, did he really need the approval of an old man like him?

But Zhang Ran did indeed say with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment, Brother-in-law!"

Half an hour later, a group of people arrived, but it wasn't Rong Huaqiang who came, but someone else.

When it came down to it, Jin Meng actually didn't have the qualifications to contact Rong Huaqiang directly, and his business wasn't given to him by Rong Huaqiang either.

But Jin Meng did indeed know Rong Huaqiang; otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten this business.

It was just that he had a boss above him, that was all.

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Jin Meng immediately called out, "Brother Feng."

Chen Feng saw Jin Meng's miserable state, then looked at Zhang Ran's group, and said, "Which family is this brother from? Why be so disrespectful?"

Zhang Ran had also heard what Jin Meng said; he looked at Chen Feng and suddenly smiled, "It seems you really aren't honest. Rong Huaqiang's airs are quite large too. Fine, since he won't come, then I'll go pay a visit to this Big Boss."

After saying this, Zhang Ran directly had He Yong take Jin Meng into the car, and at the same time, brought Big Sister and Lao Sun along as well.

Chen Feng hadn't expected Zhang Ran to be so disrespectful, or rather, to not even bother ignoring him, and his anger flared up instantly.

But the next moment, Zhao Hu walked in front of him with an expressionless face, "Don't meddle in things you shouldn't."

"Who the hell do you think you are?" Chen Feng said angrily.

Zhao Hu didn't say a word and struck him directly with the rod. The scene immediately descended into chaos, but Zhang Ran didn't care about any of this and drove off on his own.

In the car, Jin Meng's heart sank; this scene was completely different from what he had imagined, and Zhang Ran couldn't be bothered to talk to him anymore.

Xi City was not large, and there was no traffic at night, so Zhang Ran arrived at his destination in about twenty minutes.

This was the information He Yong had someone look up.

At the guard station, Zhang Ran and the others were stopped, but Zhang Ran didn't force his way in, only saying, "I'm here to find Rong Huaqiang."

"Sir, what is this regarding?" the security guard asked.

"Hm, just call him," Zhang Ran said.

Seeing his demeanor, the security guard didn't dare ask any more questions and dialed the number for Rong Huaqiang's home, though it wasn't Rong Huaqiang who answered, but his family's nanny.

The nanny didn't dare make a decision and could only carefully go to wake up Rong Huaqiang and his wife.

Rong Huaqiang rubbed his temples, his mood somewhat poor; no one would be very happy to be woken up while sleeping.

"Who is it? If you don't give me a proper reason..." Rong Huaqiang said, taking a deep breath.

But before he could finish his sentence, he heard the voice on the other end say, "I am Zhang Ran. I don't know if you recognize the name."

"Zhang Ran? Which Zhang Ran?" Rong Huaqiang didn't react at first.

Zhang Ran remained silent, and then the person on the other end reacted, "Are you Mr. Zhang?"

His voice was somewhat agitated, but once he was a bit more awake, he felt a sense of trepidation. For Zhang Ran to come find him in person so late at night, there must be some major matter, and it didn't seem like a good thing.

"Mr. Zhang, please come in quickly. I'll have the security guard let you in right now," Rong Huaqiang said immediately.

Zhang Ran handed the phone to the security guard, and then the guard nodded and let Zhang Ran and the others in.

And Jin Meng's heart kept sinking; he found that he seemed to have thought things a bit too simply.

Upon arriving at the location, Zhang Ran led the way inside, and by this time, Rong Huaqiang and his wife were already standing at the entrance to welcome them.

After seeing Zhang Ran's face, Rong Huaqiang immediately stepped forward enthusiastically, "Mr. Zhang, look at you, why did you come in person? If there was something, you could have just called, and I would have gone over."

Zhang Ran looked at his face, feeling it was somewhat familiar, but he wasn't sure.

"How could I dare trouble Brother Rong to make the trip? I was afraid I couldn't bear it," Zhang Ran said indifferently.

Rong Huaqiang immediately knew that Zhang Ran's visit this time was definitely not for anything good.

"Mr. Zhang, is there some kind of misunderstanding?" Rong Huaqiang said directly.

Zhang Ran didn't answer his question, but instead said, "Have I seen you somewhere before?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang. The reason I got into this line of work was because of your guidance. Back then, you pointed out a great path for me," Rong Huaqiang said immediately.

After Zhang Ran's interview was broadcast, he knew that this Zhang Ran was the very Zhang Ran he had imagined.

So, during this time, he had actually been planning to see if he could establish some more connections. If he really could, then his company would have an even more promising future, rather than just being confined to one corner like it was now.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ran's expression turned ugly, "Heh, what kind of sin did I commit back then, damn it."

After saying this, before Rong Huaqiang could react, he slapped him directly across the face.

"Slap!"

Rong Huaqiang was stunned!

His wife was also stunned!

Jin Meng was even more bewildered!

They had not expected Zhang Ran to be so brutal; they had just arrived at the doorstep, and Rong Huaqiang was clearly trying to build a connection, yet he just slapped him across the face?
