Chapter 657: Just Because of a Woman?
The person on the other end of the phone remained silent.
Zhao Wentian also kept quiet.
Both sides continued this standoff.
Finally, after nearly a minute, Zhao Wentian couldn't bear it any longer.
"Well played!"
Chen Fan's voice came through as well.
"You're too kind!"
Zhao Wentian felt a surge of anger that almost made him faint on the spot.
He had imagined how Chen Fan would react when he called.
Gloating, arrogant, mocking him coldly from the victor's standpoint...
However, Chen Fan's casual four words actually caused him the most damage.
Bang!
Finally, Zhao Wentian's composure broke.
"Do you know that you're going to destroy the Zhao family?"
Chen Fan: "Of course I know, otherwise why would I go to all this trouble?"
Zhao Wentian gritted his teeth: "Originally, you and I didn't need to come to this."
Chen Fan: "It seems pointless to say this now. If you want to blame someone, blame your son."
Zhao Wentian was very displeased with Chen Fan's tone.
"I don't understand, even if you bring down the Zhao family, how does it benefit you?"
"You clearly had other better options."
"You could have shown me the video first, then blackmailed me for an exorbitant compensation."
"Moreover, with this in your hands, those leaders in the video would have to listen to you in the future. With this, you could have had the wind at your back in Yunhai, your business would thrive..."
"Yet you chose such an aggressive approach, not only ruining the futures of so many people but also pushing the Zhao family to the brink of destruction..."
"Aren't you afraid of karma?"
Zhao Wentian couldn't understand. He believed Chen Fan wasn't a fool.
This guy had built such a large business empire at such a young age, he must be a genius.
But in this matter, he chose such an aggressive approach.
It was truly incomprehensible to him.
"You'll never understand," Chen Fan replied calmly.
"I want to know the reason," Zhao Wentian asked through gritted teeth. "Even if I die, I want to die with some clarity."
After a few seconds of silence, Chen Fan's answer finally came.
"You shouldn't have touched her!"
Zhao Wentian was stunned for a moment before he realized what Chen Fan meant.
"You mean your little girlfriend?"
Zhao Wentian's eyes suddenly widened, and he angrily stood up from his chair.
"Just because of a woman?"
"Just because of a woman, you actually..."
"I told you, you'll never understand," Chen Fan calmly said. "Time is running out. You can prepare an escape route for the Zhao family."
"Of course, that's assuming they can evade my men's pursuit."
"As for..."
"Your beloved youngest son, don't think too much about him."
"I'm taking his life."
"You..."
Just as Zhao Wentian was about to roar in anger, the other end had already hung up.
Zhao Wentian angrily tried to call back, but it showed the other party was temporarily unavailable.
Zhao Wentian immediately called his youngest son with trembling hands.
But it showed the phone was out of service area.
Bang!
The receiver in his hand fell onto the desk.
Zhao Wentian stumbled back a step and collapsed into the chair, drained of all strength.
He knew that his youngest son, Longqi, might be in trouble.
"It's over..."
The scene shifts back to the Rainbow Nightclub.
At the street corner outside, an inconspicuous van was parked.
Chen Fan, sitting in the back, put down his phone and expressionlessly instructed Feng Pojun.
"Have your men keep a close watch. If any of the Zhao family tries to flee Yunhai, break their legs and bring them back."
Feng Pojun nodded: "Don't worry, boss. I've already arranged for people to keep an eye on them."
"This time, none of them will escape."
Chen Fan turned his head to look at the brightly lit Rainbow Nightclub in the distance.
Zhao Longqi was inside right now.
Chen Fan didn't know what method Guo Shuai had used to actually lure this guy here.
However...
Chen Fan looked down at the time.
It was already very late.
Why hadn't it started yet?
"Boss..."
Feng Pojun suddenly spoke up to remind him.
Chen Fan immediately looked up at the nightclub.
From a distance, all the lights in the entire Rainbow Nightclub had gone dark.
"A power outage?" Feng Pojun was a bit surprised.
"It seems only Rainbow lost power?"
Chen Fan's eyelid twitched. At this moment, only he understood what was happening.
Everything was exactly the same as in his previous life.
"Boss, look! There's thick smoke!" Feng Pojun pointed at the third floor of the nightclub in astonishment.
"There's a fire inside."
Feng Pojun turned his head in surprise to look at Chen Fan sitting in the back.
Could it be that the boss had someone do this?
Impossible!
If the boss wanted to do something like this, he would definitely have arranged for him to find someone to carry it out.
But looking at the boss's expression now, it couldn't possibly have been arranged by him.
But why did the boss go to such lengths to make sure Zhao Longqi would appear here tonight, just a few days ago?
Could it be that the boss knew Rainbow would catch fire tonight?
That's not right either.
The boss clearly had this plan several days ago.
Could the boss predict the future?
Feng Pojun suddenly remembered the plan when the boss wanted to deal with Song Mingjie.
The entire plan was full of accidents and coincidences, but as someone who accompanied the boss throughout the whole process, Feng Pojun of course understood how bizarre that operation really was.
As for tonight...
Feng Pojun shook his head, he didn't dare think too much.
In any case, the boss was awesome and that's that.
At this moment, smoke was billowing from the nightclub across the street, and the fire was clearly getting bigger.
Even from the street corner where they were, they could hear the screams and cries for help coming from the nightclub.
Feng Pojun turned to look at Chen Fan.
He didn't understand what the boss's next plan was.
"Boss, what do we do next?"
"We don't need to do anything."
Chen Fan took out his phone and made a call.
"Hello, Brother Pang, are you asleep?"
"Oh? You're working overtime at the bureau?"
"Brother, I need to report a crime. I just passed by the Rainbow Nightclub and found that there's a fire inside. It's pitch black, the fire is big, and many people are running out..."
Pang Longhai on the other end of the phone said softly: "That's not my jurisdiction. You should call 119 right away and let the fire department go. I have an important meeting here, so I can't..."
"Brother Pang!" Chen Fan suddenly raised his voice, with a serious expression.
"The fire is really big. Who knows, there might be people causing trouble inside?"
"Since you know about it, why not bring a few subordinates to check it out? You might even catch the culprits. It could be a big achievement, right?"
Chen Fan spoke very subtly, but he was clearly insisting that Pang Longhai must come to the Rainbow Nightclub tonight no matter what.
Even though Pang Longhai had already explained that this wasn't his jurisdiction, Chen Fan still insisted that he come over.
Pang Longhai felt a bit helpless, and knowing Chen Fan's relationship with Yan Qing from the provincial government, he finally gave in.
"Alright, alright, it's only because you're asking. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't be so accommodating."
"I'll go tell the leaders that we'll pause tonight's meeting."
Chen Fan smiled: "Then on behalf of the injured public, I thank you, Brother Pang."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Fan's face returned to its calm state.
"Old Feng. Have your men keep a close watch on all exits of the nightclub."
"Before the police arrive, if you see Zhao Longqi escaping, grab him immediately."
Feng Pojun was a bit confused.
"Boss, you want the police to arrest him?"
"Why go through all this trouble? Tonight is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I can just send someone in to kill him in the chaos..."
"No!" Chen Fan frowned.
"The police will be here soon. Our people can't leave any traces."
"Besides, killing this guy directly would be too easy on him..."
