Chapter 400: Touching the Reverse Scale
In a previous life, the shocking "July 21 Bank Robbery" occurred in Yunhai City, which stunned the entire nation.
Four robbers drove a grey Iveco van into the bank lobby in broad daylight, stealing over 5 million yuan in cash in less than 10 minutes.
However, during their retreat, they encountered two police officers who happened to be patrolling the area.
A gunfight erupted between them on the street.
The criminals, armed with homemade firearms, fired first before the patrol officers could react.
One shot instantly felled a police officer.
During the chaos, the robbers' car tires were shot out, forcing them to retreat on foot while dragging their wounded accomplice.
The criminals then hijacked a private vehicle, fleeing for 6 intersections before being surrounded by police who had rushed to the scene.
In the ensuing firefight, all the robbers were killed, but one police officer and an innocent bystander also lost their lives, with several others seriously injured.
The incident's impact was so great that it shocked the entire country. Afterwards, due to the casualties, many in the police force were punished.
As a student at Yunhai University, Chen Fan was all too familiar with this case in his previous life.
After the incident, he and his dormmates had even analyzed the case using newspaper reports.
They discussed how they would have commanded the operation to minimize casualties if they were in charge.
Too much time had passed, and Chen Fan had almost forgotten about this case.
But now, seeing the balloon flowers in front of the mall across the street, the memory resurfaced.
Because in his previous life, the front-page news photo featured this scene at the mall.
The festive balloon flowers contrasted starkly with the shattered glass and bloodstains on the ground, making it an unforgettable image.
It was precisely because of this that Chen Fan now recalled the case upon seeing the flowers at the mall entrance.
However, after remembering, Chen Fan didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, he wasn't Superman; he was powerless against such a major armed robbery.
But for a moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Chen Fan's mind.
Once this thought appeared, he couldn't shake it off.
"What's the date today?" Chen Fan suddenly turned to ask Ma Xiaoshuai.
"Hm? What's wrong?" Ma Xiaoshuai looked over in confusion, not understanding Chen Fan's meaning.
Chen Fan took out his phone and glanced at it.
July 20.
This meant that according to the timeline of his previous life, tomorrow morning around 9 am, those four robbers would appear and start robbing the bank.
Of course, this was assuming that events in this life would unfold exactly as they did in the previous one.
Chen Fan felt a slight excitement.
He wondered if there was a possibility.
Could he use these robbers to solve the problem of Song Mingjie?
This guy had threatened him multiple times and sent people to cause trouble at the club every day, damaging his reputation.
He had also stabbed Ding Dian twice before, nearly killing her.
The relationship between them was already like fire and water.
The Song family had connections in the development zone. If Song Mingjie continued to harass them, Chen Fan's club would likely face endless troubles in its future development there.
Since that was the case, why not go all out and completely solve this problem?
Chen Fan's eyes flickered with light, showing some hesitation.
One thought said, that bastard is just scum; he didn't care about life or death when he stabbed Ding Dian. Such scum deserves to die.
Another thought countered, no matter how bad he is, his crimes don't warrant death.
You're not God; you can't decide who deserves to die.
Then the first thought argued again, "Being soft-hearted won't accomplish great things."
"For scum like this, you need to use a heavy hand."
Then the other voice began to rebut: "Your hands will be stained with blood; you'll have a guilty conscience for the rest of your life."
Chen Fan stood still, staring blankly at the mall across the street, his expression fluctuating between light and dark, seemingly in great pain.
Ma Xiaoshuai looked at this scene in surprise.
"Hey, are you alright? You look like you're in a lot of pain."
Chen Fan shook his head and took a deep breath.
"I'm fine. Let's..."
Just as he was about to speak, his phone rang.
It was Feng Pojun calling.
Feng Pojun reported that those people had come to cause trouble again today, and last night these bastards had secretly thrown a lot of filthy things at the club.
Chen Fan spoke calmly, "I see. I'll come to the club later to discuss it."
Just as he hung up, his phone rang again.
This time it was an unknown number.
Chen Fan hesitated for a moment but still answered.
"Boss Chen..."
As soon as the voice spoke, Chen Fan knew who it was.
Song Mingjie. He didn't know how this guy had gotten his phone number.
"I didn't expect you to be so patient, Boss Chen. You've endured for so many days."
Chen Fan spoke expressionlessly, "What do you want?"
"Heh, nothing much."
"Didn't you want to send me to jail?"
"Didn't you say you were born with hard bones and couldn't kneel?"
"Heh, I just love seeing people kneeling and begging for mercy in front of me."
Song Mingjie was extremely arrogant on the other end of the phone.
"I'll tell you directly, these past few days were just appetizers. I'm giving you three days to consider. Either bring 10 million yuan to me, kneel in front of me, beg for mercy and apologize, and I might consider letting you off the hook."
"Don't say you don't have 10 million yuan with such a big club. This is the last chance I'm giving you."
"If the three days pass, I'll have to use more violent methods."
"I can tell you directly, if your club can open in the development zone, I'll take your surname."
Chen Fan frowned, "I'm curious, what can you do?"
"It's simple. Your people are acting like cowards, right? I can find people to threaten your employees."
"Whoever dares to continue working at your club, I'll break their legs."
"I want to see how many people you'll have left to use in the future."
Chen Fan shook his head speechlessly, "As expected, still using lowly tactics."
Song Mingjie chuckled, "You don't need to care what tactics I use, as long as they work."
"Oh right, I suddenly remembered, I recently got some news."
"You seem to have a girlfriend, right? I even have a photo of her in my hands."
"Your girlfriend is called Su Ruochu, right? Nice name."
"Tsk tsk, that face, that figure... you've got good taste, huh? Have you slept with her?"
"Hehe, do you want your bro to check if she's still..."
"Shut up!"
The moment Song Mingjie mentioned Su Ruochu's name, Chen Fan's eyes instantly turned ice-cold.
A murderous aura immediately enveloped his entire body.
"If you dare to touch a single hair on her head, I'll make you regret coming into this world."
"Are you threatening me? Oh my, I'm so scared, I..."
Slap!
Before he could finish, Chen Fan hung up the phone with a cold face.
"What's wrong?"
Ma Xiaoshuai curiously came over.
"Who called?"
Chen Fan shook his head, his face gloomy.
"It's nothing."
Ma Xiaoshuai opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't pursue the question.
"Old Chen, we're all brothers."
"If you need any help, just say the word. Don't keep it to yourself."
Chen Fan didn't speak.
His gaze fell once again on the bank branch across the street.
In this life, Chen Fan's only reverse scale in this world was Su Ruochu.
He had said before that he would protect Su Ruochu at all costs, even if it meant sacrificing his life.
Song Mingjie had already touched his reverse scale.
So he couldn't blame Chen Fan for not being polite anymore.
Chen Fan's eyes gradually became determined.
Flying into a rage for the sake of a beauty.
If anyone dared to harm Su Ruochu, even if his hands were stained with blood, he would make them pay the price!
At this moment, what conscience? What guilt?
What crimes not deserving death?
He didn't care about any of that anymore.
Even if it meant falling into hell.
Then fall into hell it would be!
