“How can you sell our family business that has been passed down for generations?” Pan Qi questioned sternly.
“Isn’t it all thanks to you?” A-Ir. Pan was afraid that Pan Qi would offend Lu Zhi again and bring about a harsher revenge, so he pushed his son and said, “Get lost and go home. I’ll deal with you at home!”
“I’m not leaving! You’re afraid of the Lu family and willing to be their lackey, but I’m not!” Pan Qi was indignant as he straightened his back and enunciated every word, “Tao Siyuan will back me up. Since you sold the Pan family to him, you’re forever a sinner of the Pan family. I’m not listening to you!”
He looked up at Lu Zhi and mocked, “Lu Zhi, you managed to topple the Pan family, but would you dare to touch the Tao family?”
“Um, if Tao Siyuan is your protector, why is he still indifferent?” Lu Zhi casually pressed a down pillow onto Pan Qi’s sore spot.
“He didn’t know that you would be so ruthless. When I tell him, he will definitely help me!” Pan Qi argued, clenching his fingers tightly.
“I’ve destroyed Tao Siyuan’s place and he has been trying to take revenge on me for the past few days. He must have sent people to tail me 24/7. How could he not know about my acquisition of the Pan family?”
Pan Qi’s eyes widened. Lu Zhi destroyed Tao Siyuan’s place?
Why didn’t Uncle Tao mention this to him?
“Looks like you are unaware of this. Tao Siyuan used you, yet you expect him to avenge you.”
Lu Zhi smiled, but his dark eyes were filled with coldness and mockery.
“That’s impossible… You must be making this up to drive a wedge between me and Uncle Tao.”
Pan Qi still tried to deceive himself at this juncture.
Lu Zhi couldn’t be bothered to talk to him anymore and said to Mr. Pan, “Since you’re so cooperative, I don’t want to make things difficult for the Pan family. But your son was rude to my wife, so he must pay the price. If he shows up at Qing University at noon tomorrow and apologizes publicly, I’ll let him off on account of his youth and ignorance. If he doesn’t show up and insists on joining hands with Tao Siyuan to oppose me, then don’t blame me for being ruthless and wiping out the entire Pan family!”
As his last word fell, the temperature dropped by several degrees, and a murderous aura filled the room.
Mr. Pan’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. “Yes, yes, CEO Lu. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely teach this b*stard a lesson and make sure that he apologizes to Young Madam Lu.”
“Good,” Lu Zhi replied nobly and looked away from the father and son.
Mr. Pan dragged Pan Qi out of the newspaper office.
Lu Zhi glanced at the people around the office and said, “I want to see the report about the Pan family tonight. Also, from now on, you people don’t work here anymore.”
He pointed at the employees who had listened to Pan Qi earlier.
Qi Feng and his men then threw those people out of the newspaper office.
Lu Zhi walked up to Jiang Yining and said, “Let’s go home.”
“Alright.”
Jiang Yining walked up next to him.
The two of them walked side by side out of the newspaper office and went home.
That night, Pan Qi was beaten up by his father, but he still wouldn’t give up and ran out to find Tao Siyuan.
Tao Siyuan was having fun at a bar, hugging and touching women and enjoying himself.
When he heard the waiter say that Pan Qi was there, he was a little annoyed.
“I won’t see him!”
“I’ll go and let Young Master Pan know.”
Without even looking up, Tao Siyuan said, “Good. I won’t see him even he comes looking for me again!”
As soon as he finished, Pan Qi barged into the bar.
He happened to hear Tao Siyuan’s last sentence.
“Uncle Tao, why won’t you see me? Didn’t you tell me that you wanted to join forces with me to deal with the Lu family?”
People at the bar all fell silent when they heard this.
Tao Siyuan wanted to deal with the Lu family?
Are the Taos and Lus going to start a war?
This bombshell would explore like an atomic bomb!
Tao Siyuan threw down his poker cards and looked up at Pan Qi coldly like he was a stranger. “When did I ever say such things to you? Pan Qi, why don’t you look at yourself? Are you worthy of joining forces with me?”
“You… You… That’s not what you said before!”
Pan Qi didn’t expect Tao Siyuan to turn against him, and his chest heaved up and down violently.
“Oh? What did I say before? Show me the evidence.” Tao Siyuan denied vehemently.
He indeed wanted to deal with Lu Zhi, but he couldn’t admit this openly. It would be big trouble if the Tao and Lu families all got involved.
He used Pan Qi precisely because he didn’t want to make a big deal out of it.
Who knew that this idiot Pan Qi didn’t only fail but also got him into trouble.
Of course, he had to distance himself from this useless bugger!
Pan Qi obviously couldn’t produce any evidence.
He trusted Tao Siyuan so much and didn’t suspect anything. Why would he deliberately keep evidence of their conversation?
Seeing that Pan Qi was speechless, Tao Siyuan continued “You’re not even worthy of carrying my shoes, and you dare to say that I joined hands with you? Pan Qi, I think you’ve lost your mind. That’s why you came here to make a ruckus. Someone, throw him out!”
The bouncers at the bar surrounded Pan Qi.
Pan Qi was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. He cried out in despair, “Tao Siyuan, you bastard! You’ve caused the downfall of my family! You’ll suffer retribution someday!”
If Tao Siyuan was afraid of retribution, he wouldn’t have found someone to open a casino.
Pan Qi’s curse went in one ear and out the other.
“Come, come, let’s continue our game. No one is allowed to leave tonight until they’re satisfied.”
Everyone was engrossed in the game once again and soon forgot about Pan Qi.
It was past midnight when Tao Siyuan staggered out of the bar, helped by two beautiful women, into the car.
The driver waited for him to settled down before he drove away quickly.
Tao Siyuan had too much to drink and felt dizzy.
He leaned into the seat and almost fell asleep.
After an unknown period of time…
In his daze, he heard his phone ring and picked it up.
“Hubby, why aren’t you home yet?”
“I was out with a few friends and am on my way home now.”
“Where are you now?” He Ling asked.
Tao Siyuan raised his eyes and looked out the car window. He found the scenery a little unfamiliar, so he sat up and asked the driver, “Chen, where are you going? Didn’t I tell you to go home?”
As soon as he finished, he realized that something was wrong.
The person driving wasn’t his driver, Chen!
“Who are you?” Tao Siyuan asked warily.
The driver didn’t say a word. He stepped on the accelerator and drove into the night.
He Ling could tell that something was wrong and asked anxiously, “Hubby, what’s wrong? What’s happening?”
Unfortunately, no one responded to her…
The next day-
All the major newspapers in A-City reported on Pan family’s bankruptcy, and detailed how Pan Qi bullied two female students in school. Of course, Jiang Yining and Ye Xiaoxi were only mentioned in pseudonyms.
Jiang Yining read the newspaper as she ate.
Lu Zhi took a piece of toast and said, “Are you satisfied now?”
“Only half satisfied.”
After all, Tao Siyuan, the mastermind, had yet to be punished.
Lu Zhi chuckled and pushed his phone in front of her.
Jiang Yining looked up in confusion and glanced at him before her gaze fell on the phone screen.
It was a video.
With a light tap, the video began to play.
The main character in the video was Tao Siyuan. There were five or six brawny men standing around him, cracking their knuckles, and getting ready to teach him a lesson..
