Chapter 246: Should I Help You Deal With This?
Chen Fan recognized the person in the photo.
It was Zhao Longqi.
A member of the Zhao family from Yunhai.
Previously, he had fought with Wu Di over Su Qing and had also gotten into a conflict with Chen Fan.
Later on, this guy went to harass Su Ruochu, and Chen Fan threatened him, so he quieted down temporarily.
But Chen Fan didn't expect that this guy would still harbor resentment and use such an extreme method to take revenge on Chen Fan.
After staring at Zhao Longqi in the photo for a while, Chen Fan's expression became unpleasant.
"Boss, you know him?"
"He's from the Zhao family in Yunhai."
Feng Pojun's eyes lit up.
"That's right, the guy called Brother Ma who runs that club is part of the Zhao family's business."
Chen Fan nodded slowly, and it all made sense now.
It was Zhao Longqi's doing.
"Boss, should we find an opportunity to teach him a lesson?"
Feng Pojun asked for instructions.
"Where is this Ah Biao?"
"I've had someone keep an eye on him."
Chen Fan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Let's hand him over to the police."
"Boss..." Feng Pojun was a bit curious. "Not going to take action against this Zhao guy?"
Chen Fan shook his head. "He has the Zhao family behind him. The Zhao family is the biggest family in the entire Yunhai."
"If we directly take action against him, the Zhao family will definitely retaliate against us with all their power."
Chen Fan's soul had long since passed the age of reckless hot-bloodedness.
Beating Zhao Longqi up would at most vent some frustration but provide no substantial benefits.
Moreover, it could easily invite the targeting of the entire Zhao family, making it extremely difficult for Chen Fan to develop in Yunhai.
"Old Feng, remember, with people like him, either don't act at all, or take him down completely with one strike, beating him into submission."
Chen Fan said slowly, "Since we're all in Yunhai, there will be chances to deal with the Zhao family in the future."
Feng Pojun nodded in understanding.
The next day, Feng Pojun had someone take Ah Biao to the police station.
This guy was already scared and confessed his crime as soon as he entered the station.
He told the police that someone had paid him to beat up that Huang Xiaobo, but he hadn't restrained himself and ended up killing him.
Based on the information provided by Ah Biao, the police quickly arrested that Brother Ma.
Before the police could interrogate Brother Ma, a guy walked into the station and turned himself in.
This person claimed to be the owner of a casino in Yunhai and said that because Huang Xiaobo owed too much gambling debt at his place, he had asked Brother Ma to teach Huang Xiaobo a lesson.
With that, the case was closed.
This self-proclaimed casino owner took all the responsibility, and the entire case had nothing to do with the Zhao family in Yunhai.
When Chen Fan learned of this result, he wasn't surprised at all.
After all, the Zhao family's influence was displayed right here.
If they couldn't even handle such a minor matter, it would truly insult the reputation of Yunhai's first family.
Because Su Ruochu refused to stay at the apartment with him that night, and Chen Fan didn't have much to do these past two days, he temporarily moved back to the dorm.
But the dorm was empty, with only Ma Xiaoshuai playing games and shouting.
"Where is everyone?" Chen Fan asked curiously.
"Why are you here?" Ma Xiaoshuai didn't even look up. "Wu Di and Old Han went to accompany their wives for a walk. Hao kid and brother Jie are at the internet cafe."
Chen Fan took a look. "Still playing games?"
"Hehe, this game is really fun. Want to join?"
"No thanks, not interested. I'm just coming back to sleep tonight."
"Dang it. Then let me have your apartment, and I'll go sleep there."
Chen Fan immediately mocked him, "Get lost. If I give you the key, you'll immediately lure Song Linlin to the apartment."
Ma Xiaoshuai glared at him. "Do you think I'm an animal like brother Jie? Linlin and I have a very pure relationship. Ours is a Platonic love."
"Platonic my ass!"
As they were bickering, Wu Di returned from outside.
Chen Fan remembered something and asked Wu Di, "How's your relationship with Su Qing lately?"
"It's good, why do you ask?" Wu Di looked puzzled.
"Has that Zhao guy been causing you any more trouble?"
Wu Di shook his head, "No, he hasn't. That sort of second-generation rich guy doesn't lack women. He's probably given up already."
Chen Fan originally wanted to warn Wu Di, but then he thought that Zhao Longqi's target might not necessarily be just to take revenge on him.
"Oh right, why are you back?"
Before Chen Fan could speak, Ma Xiaoshuai from the side smiled and interjected, "You're asking a stupid question. Of course he got kicked out by his girlfriend."
Wu Di immediately looked at Chen Fan with a sympathetic expression. "I understand, brother. My condolences."
Chen Fan was amused but just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the dorm building.
Many people were shouting loudly.
"What's going on?"
Wu Di curiously ran out to the balcony, listening to the messy noises outside.
"What happened? What's going on?"
"Oh shit!" The Ma Xiaoshuai in the room suddenly shouted in shock, pointing at the computer with an astonished look.
"The Twin Towers in America got bombed."
"What the hell?" Wu Di yelled as he rushed over. "Let me see, let me see."
Chen Fan glanced at the pop-up ad on Ma Xiaoshuai's laptop and suddenly realized.
Right, today was September 11th.
The shocking 9/11 event happened tonight, though it was morning in America.
History faithfully replayed itself without any deviations.
Of course, many people only knew that two planes crashed into the Twin Towers in America.
Very few knew that at the same time, a third plane had also crashed into the Pentagon building.
This was a major event that would influence the course of history.
From today onwards, America officially embarked on over a decade of the War on Terrorist.
However, none of this had any impact on Chen Fan.
Even as a reborn person, he was still a minor figure amidst such monumental historical events.
He didn't care about the past, he only cared about the present.
By the end of September, the haunted house business was finally on track.
Customers lined up every day, and the haunted house had become Medal Club's second biggest profit project after the shooting range.
Additionally, Feifan Technology had a major breakthrough this month.
One month after its launch, the installation numbers for Feifan Antivirus had reached over 4 million.
It had captured nearly half of the domestic market share.
Just from the subscription fees for Feifan Antivirus, Feifan Technology netted a profit of 180 million yuan this month.
A miracle.
An undisputed Internet miracle.
While everyone was in shock and awe over this miracle, they seemed to have overlooked Go Navigation Home, which was bundled for download with Feifan Antivirus.
Within just over twenty days, Go Navigation Home had gained over 2 million users, with daily clicks exceeding 10 million.
These numbers were absolutely remarkable miracles.
However, Chen Fan was not fully satisfied.
Because compared to hao123's traffic, it was still lagging behind.
If he wanted to sell Go Navigation Home to Baidu in 2004, he had to ensure its traffic surpassed hao123, and its ranking had to be far ahead of its competitor's.
But there were only so many Internet users in China, and the download numbers for Feifan Antivirus had gradually stabilized.
Relying solely on Feifan Antivirus to drive downloads, Go Navigation Home would likely struggle to grow further.
Chen Fan had to think of another way to continue promoting Go Navigation Home.
That day, when Chen Fan heard Ma Xiaoshuai complaining about the monotonous daily quests in his game again, Chen Fan suddenly smiled and spoke up.
"Want me to help you solve that?"
