Chapter 296: The Fish Has Taken the Bait
"Chen Fan?"
Zhao Wentian frowned, feeling like he had heard this name somewhere before, but couldn't quite recall where.
The secretary beside him helpfully explained in a low voice, "This Chen Fan has another identity, he is the owner of Medal Club."
"The Medal Club that the Second Young Master acquired was bought from him."
Upon hearing this, both Zhao Wentian and Zhao Mingyu were taken aback, immediately remembering who Chen Fan was.
They knew Chen Fan all too well.
The impression Medal Club had left on them was too deep.
They had given away 26 million yuan for nothing.
In the end, they got nothing, lost the club, and the land was demolished, resulting in a double loss.
Recalling this incident now, Zhao Wentian felt his teeth itch with anger.
"This matter... was this Chen Fan behind it?"
The secretary quickly explained, "There's no direct evidence proving he did it."
"But it can be confirmed that he definitely played a role in fueling and exacerbating the situation."
"If it weren't for Go Navigation Home's repost, this incident wouldn't have blown up to such an extent."
Bang!
Zhao Wentian angrily slapped the armrest of his chair.
"Even if the Second Son employed some unsavory tactics in acquiring the club from him, this guy still profited, pocketing 26 million yuan for nothing."
"What more does he want?"
At this point, the secretary cautiously observed Zhao Wentian's expression.
"Boss, there's one more thing... I think you should know."
"The Second Young Master..."
"Hmph."
At the mention of his second son Zhao Longqi, Zhao Wentian let out a cold snort.
"What has that good-for-nothing done now?"
The secretary hurried to explain, "The Second Young Master has actually been targeting Chen Fan for some time now."
"He has sent people to cause trouble at the internet cafe Chen Fan owns several times, smashing up his shop, and even had someone secretly set a fire in the internet cafe, leading to its temporary closure for renovations."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wentian's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"That fool! If you can't beat someone, you resort to these underhanded tactics, and you'll never win against them."
Zhao Mingyu, on the other hand, tried to defend his younger brother in a low voice, "Dad, second brother was just really angry."
"After all, he finally had a chance to prove himself, but ended up being tricked out of so much money, it's understandable for him to be upset."
After saying this, Zhao Mingyu looked towards the secretary, "But how did another internet cafe pop up, and what exactly does this Chen Fan do?"
The secretary quickly responded, "I had someone investigate this person in detail before. It turns out he's not so simple."
"Boss, this young man is currently a sophomore at Yunhai University, and was actually a schoolmate of the Second Young Master."
"During his freshman year, he started from scratch and opened two internet cafes, then later bought that dilapidated amusement park in the western city and renovated it into a club."
"Apart from that, this guy is also quite accomplished on the internet, having founded Feifan Technology, whose product Feifan Antivirus is now one of the top national-level applications in the country, earning praise from the leaders of Yunhai City."
Zhao Mingyu's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Are you sure this kid started from nothing?"
"Yes, his parents are just ordinary villagers."
The secretary hesitated for a moment, then added another point.
"Also, after Chen Fan sold the club to the Second Young Master, that place was demolished. He received at least 300 to 400 million yuan in demolition compensation."
"And recently, the street where one of his internet cafes is located was also slated for demolition. He's set to receive at least tens of millions in compensation..."
Zhao Mingyu was dumbfounded.
"So... you're saying this kid didn't even have to do anything, and just from the demolition compensations, he became a billionaire?"
"Yes."
Zhao Mingyu looked dazed, turning to his father beside him.
"Dad, are there really people in this world with such good luck?"
"Or is this not just luck anymore? Who could possibly have this kind of fortune?"
Zhao Wentian did not answer this question, but instead asked with a grim expression, "Where is Longqi now?"
"The Second Young Master hasn't been going to school lately, he's been... been fooling around with that group of friends..."
"Hmph! Call him and tell him to come home immediately, right now!"
"Yes."
"Come back!"
As the secretary was about to leave, Zhao Wentian called out to him again.
"Have someone investigate this Chen Fan, I want detailed information on him."
The secretary nodded, "Understood."
Zhao Wentian sensed something amiss, so he wanted to summon his son back as soon as possible.
But his reaction was still a step too slow.
Because at this moment, Zhao Longqi had already been taken to the police station.
The cause was simple, as a member of the Zhao family, Zhao Longqi had naturally seen the news online.
Especially those exposed photos, several of which were from the nightclub registered under his name.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Longqi was enraged on the spot, ranting about dragging out the mastermind behind it all and tearing them to pieces.
However, before Zhao Longqi could act, he received a call from Chen Fan.
On the other end, Chen Fan calmly said one sentence:
"Don't go too far, it's rude. If you dare continue harassing my shop, I'll send you straight to jail!"
"Chen Fan, you f**ker... you..."
Before he could finish, the call was hung up.
"F***!"
Zhao Longqi angrily smashed the phone in his hand.
Then he turned to the group of shady friends around him and yelled.
"Call people. Call everyone you can right now."
"Gather all the people you can, if I don't smash this bastard's shop into a pile of rubble, I'll take his surname from now on."
Zhao Longqi was completely enraged.
As far as he knew, of all Chen Fan's businesses, the club had been demolished, and the internet cafe near the school had also been demolished.
Chen Fan only had the internet cafe in the university town still in operation.
If that's the case, I'll just smash that one for you, let's see how you make money then.
Furious, Zhao Longqi yelled and gathered a large group of brothers and thugs.
Then the whole crowd charged angrily towards the university town.
"That shop! Smash it!"
Upon arriving at the First Encounter internet cafe, Zhao Longqi, wielding a fire axe, charged forward and swung the axe at the glass door.
Accompanied by the sound of shattered glass all over the floor, a group of thugs surged into the shop and began smashing and destroying.
However, before they could even wreck two things, shrill police sirens rang out from outside.
"F***! The cops are here. Run!"
Someone yelled, and the crowd scattered and fled.
Pang Longhai led a group of subordinates into the internet cafe to apprehend the rioters.
Zhao Longqi was so focused on smashing that by the time he tried to run, it was already too late, he was caught on the spot.
"F***, you dare arrest me!"
"Do you know who I am? Do you know who my dad is?"
"My dad is Zhao Wentian, I'm from the Zhao family of Yunhai..."
Upon hearing this, Pang Longhai immediately frowned.
He didn't expect to actually arrest the Second Young Master of the Zhao family.
Ten minutes earlier, Chen Fan had called him, saying there were people causing trouble at his shop.
Because of the information Chen Fan had previously provided about the Zhao family's second son, Pang Longhai had been dragging his feet, feeling quite embarrassed.
Now that Chen Fan made this call, Pang Longhai naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
Not daring to go against the Zhao family, dealing with a few small-time thugs wasn't difficult.
In order to return the favor to Chen Fan, he even led the team himself.
However, when he arrived at the shop, he suddenly realized that his subordinates had actually arrested Zhao Longqi, the Second Young Master of the Zhao family.
For a moment,
Pang Longhai suddenly felt like he might have been used by Chen Fan.
Did this kid use him as a pawn?
