The onlookers were all greatly surprised.
The Zhao Group was the leader of Jeju's second-tier wealthy families, possessing over a billion yuan in assets.
As the eldest grandson of the Zhao Group, Zhao Yuan was an unreachable figure in the eyes of ordinary people.
Chen Nan said coldly, "Zhao, are you too arrogant? Do you really think your Zhao family can cover the sky with one hand?"
Zhao Yuan laughed heartily, "Even if our Zhao family can't cover the sky with one hand, it's no difficulty to crush you. Yes, the fact that I could send you to prison three years ago already explains everything."
"I will clear my name," Chen Nan said with a dark expression.
He didn't want to bear the guilt and sought to wash away the disgrace.
"Do you have the ability?" Zhao Yuan asked dismissively.
Then, his tone shifted, and he said proudly, "Chen Nan, I can actually spare your life. After all, you are like an ant in my eyes, and crushing you will bring me no sense of accomplishment."
"But you must kneel before me, kowtow three times, and then crawl between my legs."
"Otherwise, there will be no place for you in this city."
"Whether it's you or your family, you will wish you were dead!"
Chen Nan's face contorted with ferocity, "You imprisoned me for three years, caused my father to lose his job, and had his legs broken. We already have an irreconcilable hatred between us. You want me to kneel and beg for mercy?"
"Do you think I am still the Chen Nan from three years ago?"
"Do you still think I'm a pushover?"
Some things could be compromised, but some things could not be compromised, even at the cost of death.
"Then we'll see!" Zhao Yuan said with a sinister smile, "I promise you, within a month, you will definitely come crawling to me, begging for an opportunity!" With that, he turned and walked towards the black Mercedes G-wagon.
Chen Nan's eyes were filled with rage, "Zhao Yuan, I'm telling you right here, today, I will make the Zhao family declare bankruptcy within a month!"
The onlookers thought Chen Nan had gone mad.
That was the eldest grandson of the Zhao Group, who would inherit the Zhao Group in the future and become a business prodigy with billions in wealth.
And Chen Nan was just an ordinary person from the shantytown.
The two were like a firefly and the bright moon.
How could he shake the behemoth that was the Zhao Group?
Zhao Yuan turned back, grinning, "I look forward to that day arriving soon, because I've truly had enough of the boring life of the rich!" He then drove off in his car.
He hadn't taken Chen Nan's words to heart at all.
The threat from an ant was like a joke to him.
"Chen Nan, you..."
He Shanshan swallowed the words that had reached her lips.
She desperately wanted to advise Chen Nan not to make an enemy of Zhao Yuan, even admitting fault to him wouldn't be a big deal.
However.
She couldn't say such words.
Because she knew too well how much Zhao Yuan had wronged Chen Nan's family.
"Sister Shanshan, I'll come over to clean up the house tomorrow," Chen Nan said with a forced smile. "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now!" He then rode his bicycle and headed home amidst the discussions of the merchants in the shantytown.
Arriving at the entrance of the steel mill family compound, Chen Nan stopped his bicycle and took out his phone to dial Jiang Jiancheng's private number.
"Who is it?" Jiang Jiancheng's commanding voice came through the phone.
"It's Chen Nan."
Hearing Chen Nan's voice, Jiang Jiancheng's heart raced, and he said nervously and respectfully, "Mr. Chen, please command us. Our Jiang family will do our utmost."
Chen Nan gritted his teeth and said, "I want to make the Zhao family go bankrupt within a month from today!"
"This..." Jiang Jiancheng said nervously, "Mr. Chen, to be honest, this matter is somewhat difficult."
Chen Nan retorted, "Didn't you just say that if I needed anything, your Jiang family would do its utmost?"
Jiang Jiancheng was so scared he was sweating profusely and quickly said, "Mr. Chen, you misunderstood me. I meant that eliminating the Zhao family wouldn't take that long. A week, one week is enough."
As the richest man in Jeju and the helmsman of the foremost of the six great families,
Jiang Jiancheng didn't take a mere Zhao family seriously.
Chen Nan's eyes were firm, "No, I want the Zhao family to declare bankruptcy within a month from today!"
"Since Mr. Chen has ordered it, I, Jiang Jiancheng, will do my best and strive not to disappoint Mr. Chen's trust." Jiang Jiancheng felt a pang of annoyance but still agreed wholeheartedly.
He was accustomed to eating large portions of meat and drinking heartily; adapting to slow chewing was still a bit uncomfortable.
Chen Nan then asked, "Do you know who Zhao Yuan found to fire my father?"
"Liu Feng, the director of the steel mill." Jiang Jiancheng added, "I've already had people investigate evidence of Liu Feng's corruption and his keeping mistresses. A single phone call can get him arrested."
Chen Nan's heart trembled.
He hadn't expected Liu Feng to become the director of the steel mill.
And that he was the one who fired his father.
Chen Nan still had great respect for Liu Feng.
His father had joined the steel mill two years before Liu Feng. Although they were fellow workers, they were also brothers who talked about everything.
Moreover.
The first birthday cake Chen Nan remembered was bought by Liu Feng, who had ridden his bicycle through heavy snow, traveling more than twenty kilometers to get it for him.
He had never forgotten the kindness of that cake.
It was just.
He had never expected that it was Liu Feng who had fired his father!
Jiang Jiancheng continued, "Once Liu Feng is arrested, the steel mill will inevitably have a new director, and at that time, your honorable father can be re-employed and still enjoy all his benefits after retirement."
Chen Nan's eyes lit up.
Although a retirement pension of a few thousand yuan per month wasn't a lot, it was the treatment his father deserved after working hard for most of his life!
"Liu Feng has been kind to my family and helped us a lot in the past. Don't make that call yet." Chen Nan's expression was complicated. He planned to give Liu Feng another chance, which could also be considered repaying a kindness!
"Everything will be as Mr. Chen commands." Jiang Jiancheng continued, "Besides, the few people who broke your father's legs three years ago are also under our surveillance. Those people acted on Zhao Yuan's instructions."
Chen Nan said, "Don't touch these people yet. Wait for my next instructions."
Food is eaten bite by bite!
Revenge is also taken one by one!
He wanted to eliminate these pawns who acted for Zhao Yuan one by one, making Zhao Yuan despair.
Jiang Jiancheng added, "Also, Feng Xinyue, who you saved three years ago and then bit you back, is currently the deputy team leader of my company's project department. The reason I promoted her was to keep her close, waiting for you to deal with her!"
Upon learning that Chen Nan had been framed and imprisoned, Jiang Jiancheng had mobilized all his connections, investigated everyone related to Chen Nan, and had been secretly monitoring their every move.
The purpose of doing this was in the hope that Chen Nan would need him one day, thus not betraying his trust.
After all, to establish a friendly relationship with such a remarkable person.
He would have no regrets even if it meant contributing his own assets.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Nan headed straight for the steel mill.
He was going to meet Liu Feng!
