Chapter 395: This Grudge Has Been Settled
Chen Fan was quickly briefed on the situation by Feng Pojun.
Half an hour ago, the security guards on duty at the club noticed a group of young hooligans on motorcycles appearing at the club entrance.
The security guards immediately reported it through their walkie-talkies.
Soon, Feng Pojun led the security department personnel to the entrance.
They loudly questioned who these people were and told them to leave immediately.
However, these people didn't reason at all, raising the weapons in their hands and immediately starting a fight.
Both sides fought in a mess, the scene was chaotic.
At this time, another group of hooligans climbed over the wall from the back door of the club and entered the club's interior.
They quickly set fire to several places.
Fortunately, Feng Pojun was experienced and had left a team of security guards on duty inside the club in advance.
When the other side was setting fires, they ran into the patrolling security guards.
In the scuffle, these hooligans dropped the oil drums and fire-starting tools in their hands and fled in disarray.
Before calling Chen Fan, Feng Pojun had already called Pang Longhai.
But Pang Longhai's phone was turned off and couldn't be reached at all.
Feng Pojun had no choice but to call 110 to report to the police, but after waiting for a long time, not a single police car showed up.
With no other option, Feng Pojun had to call and report to Chen Fan.
After hearing the introduction, Chen Fan calmly said, "It's good that no one was hurt. How bad is the damage to the club?"
"The side gate of the badminton hall was burned pretty badly. The other few places were extinguished by our people as soon as they were lit."
"Boss, I feel like these people came prepared, they didn't intend to run at all, just kept engaging with our security guards."
"Besides that, they kept shouting, cursing, and throwing things into the club."
Through the phone, Chen Fan could hear the chaotic environment on the other end, with various insults occasionally ringing out.
The actual situation was even more serious than Feng Pojun had reported.
This time, the other side had brought at least 100 people, which the club's security guards alone couldn't handle.
Moreover, the club's main gate had already been splashed with all sorts of filthy substances several times.
In addition, these guys were throwing plastic bags towards the club's courtyard.
As each plastic bag hit the ground, it instantly burst open, with the filthy contents immediately splattering everywhere.
The scene was a complete mess.
Feng Pojun shouted a few times, seemingly calling for the security guards to be careful.
The phone call was disconnected at some point.
Chen Fan, however, had a serious expression.
He didn't know who exactly had sent these people.
But clearly, this was a premeditated act of revenge.
Just hearing the commotion on the other end of the phone, it was evident that Feng Pojun and the security department members were having a very difficult time handling it.
Chen Fan quickly flipped through his contacts and called Pang Longhai.
Sure enough, it showed that the phone was turned off.
Chen Fan immediately put away his phone, preparing to go out.
But just as he walked out of the kitchen, Chen Fan stopped in his tracks.
He suddenly remembered.
Tonight was the last day of the lockdown.
The school would be reopening tomorrow.
If he were to sneak out tonight by climbing over the wall.
What kind of behavior would that be?
This would be completely disregarding school rules, like looking for trouble on purpose.
If he got caught, he would likely face a school-wide announcement at the very least.
Chen Fan didn't care about the school's punishment, what he was considering was whether it would affect Su Ruochu.
A couple of days ago, Ruochu had just accepted media interviews, appearing on several news outlets, and even made headlines in Yunhai city's media.
The school had also given clear reward standards...
If he were to sneak out now and get caught... would it affect Ruochu's rewards?
Would it embarrass his wife?
Chen Fan hesitated.
He was in a dilemma for a moment.
In the end, it took him less than a minute to make a decision.
He wouldn't go out.
For Ruochu's sake, he absolutely couldn't tarnish his wife's reputation at a time like this.
Moreover, even if he rushed over there now, he probably wouldn't be of much help anyway.
As for the club being vandalized, it could only be considered bad luck.
Besides, compared to his wife, even if the entire club were to be burned down, what of it?
Thinking about these things, Chen Fan returned to the kitchen, preparing ingredients while quietly waiting for a call from Feng Pojun.
However, half an hour later, he didn't receive a call from Feng Pojun, but instead got a call from someone else.
"Hello, Brother Guo?"
Chen Fan was a bit surprised.
Guo Shuai's cheerful voice came through from the other end of the phone.
"Brother Fan, no need to come over. I've already settled things here for you."
Chen Fan was stunned.
"Settled? You did it?"
"Heh, don't know where these little punks who haven't even grown their whiskers came from, trying to act all gangster. They've really watched too many triad movies."
Chen Fan was a bit confused.
"How did you know about it?"
Guo Shuai smirked proudly.
"I've told you before, I want to be your right-hand man, you'll always have a use for me."
"You've been locked down in school recently and can't come out, so I naturally had to keep an eye on the club for you."
"As soon as I got the news, I immediately rallied the brothers to come help."
"Damn, a bunch of punk kids dare to compete with us in numbers? This time I directly brought 100 to 200 people. Those bastards saw the situation wasn't good and immediately ran away."
Hearing this, Chen Fan felt warmth in his heart.
"Guo-zi, thanks."
"Damn, saying that is being too formal. Don't you consider me a brother?"
Chen Fan smiled, "The school lockdown ends tomorrow, we'll talk when we meet then."
"Alright. You just go about your business. I'll keep an eye on things here for you."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Fan let out a long sigh.
It seems this good brother of his had also quietly grown stronger without him noticing.
...
The next day, Chen Fan got up early, didn't even eat breakfast, and went straight to the isolation building to pick up Su Ruochu after she finished work.
Standing under a streetlight, Chen Fan took out his phone and looked at it.
It was a call from Pang Longhai.
Chen Fan hesitated slightly, pressed the answer button, his tone still full of enthusiasm.
"Hello, Chief Pang."
Pang Longhai on the other end of the phone didn't waste words, getting straight to the point.
"I was out of town for training last night, my phone ran out of battery."
"Regarding last night's incident, I owe you an apology. I didn't fulfill my initial promise."
Chen Fan laughed, "Chief Pang, you're joking. How could anyone prevent this kind of thing, it's not your fault."
Seeing that Chen Fan didn't seem angry, Pang Longhai let out a slight sigh of relief.
After all, he had personally made that boast, but just a few months later, he was slapped in the face.
Pang Longhai's anger was understandable.
"I've had people investigate the matter for you."
"The group last night was Song Mingjie's doing."
"Song Mingjie?"
Chen Fan frowned, thinking hard for a while, but couldn't remember who this guy was.
Pang Longhai reminded him, "Remember when Ding Dian got hurt a while back?"
Chen Fan immediately recalled.
"Is it the one whose father is a town mayor?"
Pang Longhai: "Yes. That's him."
"There's one more thing I need to tell you. The Song family pulled some strings, putting pressure directly on my department. Song Mingjie wasn't detained and was released immediately."
"I didn't fulfill my promise, it's my responsibility."
Chen Fan didn't get angry, smiling as he said, "Chief Pang, that's going too far. You've done everything you could, but being in your position, there are always times when you're not in control. I understand."
Pang Longhai didn't beat around the bush either, directly explaining, "Song Mingjie somehow found out that you, the club owner, were going to make him spend a few years in jail."
"This young master Song immediately got angry, so he wanted to teach you a lesson."
Chen Fan snorted with a laugh, "But they're too arrogant, aren't they?"
Pang Longhai smiled, "This is after all the development zone, on their turf. He's used to throwing his weight around, dealing with a small businessman like you is just a piece of cake for him."
"But he probably didn't expect that a businessman like you could call in so many people."
"I guess he won't let this matter go easily. You should watch out for your safety."
Chen Fan laughed, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"He won't let it go?"
"The mayor's son, huh? Such a big official!"
