114: Chapter 114 Our Family Is Rich 114: Chapter 114 Our Family Is Rich Long Xiao lay on the sofa without a stitch on, two enchanting women snuggled in his arms, one’s fingertips slowly wandering over his body, while the other exerted herself, wriggling on top of him.
Someone had caused trouble at the Starlight Hotel, enraging him to the extreme.
Moreover, they had injured the security guards and Brother Wu.
The moment he had returned to the hotel, he had reviewed the surveillance footage, but inside the hotel, he had not seen the scene where Zhang Fan and Zhang Dongyang made their move.
When he saw Zhang Dongyang’s outdated clothes, he immediately called a group of people and went to Zhang Fan’s house.
He hadn’t thought too much about it, daring to cause trouble at the Starlight Hotel, one must pay a heavy price.
However, just when he was enjoying himself, the hospital called.
It was Brother Wu who had someone make the call, warning him that the other party’s strength was unfathomable and not to provoke them.
Upon hearing Brother Wu’s words, he immediately made a call to Scarface.
Yet, Scarface’s voice, full of terror, made his heart sink.
Help?
More than twenty men, getting beaten and crying for help?
Damn it, there were only two of them on the other side.
Long Xiao slapped the woman who was giving him a blowjob, quickly sat up, and asked with an extremely serious expression, “Scarface, what’s happening over there?”
Scarface was about to speak when Zhang Fan snatched his phone away.
The boss?
Heh, he was just worrying about not being able to find the right person, and now he had come knocking on the door.
Zhang Fan chuckled deeply, holding the phone and began talking, “Boss Long, the people you sent over aren’t up to par.
Why don’t you come over personally?”
Long Xiao listened to the voice in the phone change and his expression changed again.
“Who are you?
What have you done to my men!” Long Xiao shouted sternly.
“Oh, killed a few who didn’t have eyes and a few more are close to death.
They said you’re in this city.
We were just about to come look for you,” Zhang Fan said with a particularly sinister smile.
Long Xiao stood up abruptly, asking in disbelief, “Someone died?”
“Oh, I’m about to call the police over here.
You see what you can do.
I still have a knife stuck in me, and I don’t know how the police will handle a case of someone breaking into a home at night and wounding someone with a knife.”
Zhang Fan smiled brightly; joking aside, looking for trouble with him without paying a price was out of the question.
Go find Long Xiao to vent his anger?
In the middle of the night, who would want to go looking for someone?
If that guy ran away, wouldn’t it just be a wasted night out?
And besides, someone had to deal with the people in this courtyard.
A bunch of guys with broken arms and legs, expecting them to leave on their own was clearly impossible.
The best solution was to make the other party come and deal with it, and incidentally talk about the compensation.
Death was a serious matter, Zhang Fan didn’t believe Long Xiao didn’t understand the severity of the issue.
A group of guys running to his house in the middle of the night and hurting people; even if he killed a few, that’s called self-defense.
However, it was different for Long Xiao; as an instigator, if this got out, he could forget about being a boss anymore.
The crux of the issue was that someone must die.
Otherwise, it would just end up being a matter of paying some compensation.
What if no one died?
He would have to make it up; after all, they didn’t know the situation over there.
Zhang Fan smiled slyly, waiting for a reply from the phone.
Long Xiao’s face was deathly pale.
Damn it, someone had died?
Hadn’t he emphasized over and over not to cause a fatality?
Even if they broke every arm and leg, a bit of wheeling and dealing on his part would at most mean compensating some money.
But now, the ones who were dead were his own people.
If the other party called the police, he was sure to be arrested.
“You tell me what to do?” Long Xiao asked in a deep voice.
Zhang Fan laughed, kicking the ball back into the other party’s court and slowly said, “You tell me what to do?”
“Just tell me how much you want,” Long Xiao asked.
Zhang Fan pondered for a moment, “Just tell me how much you can give.”
Long Xiao fell silent, his face contorted with rage.
Damn it, how much could he give?
This was outright extortion.
“Five million?” Long Xiao said, struggling to contain his anger.
“Per person?” Zhang Fan nearly laughed out loud.
“Per person?
Are you robbing me?” Long Xiao was so furious he almost threw his phone away.
Five million per person?
Wouldn’t that be over a hundred million for more than twenty people?
Damn, the Starlight Hotel had been open for over a decade and had only made four or five hundred million, his life’s work.
If he really had to do this, he’d rather call the police.
“Twenty million, that’s the most,” Long Xiao roared.
Zhang Fan’s eyes lit up; twenty million wasn’t a small amount.
But the thought of his dad’s Dahongpao tea, worth millions for just a gram, quickly calmed Zhang Fan’s excitement.
“Are you giving alms?” Zhang Fan said coldly.
Long Xiao nearly choked on a breath of cold air.
Twenty million was still not enough?
Damn it, if you think that’s too little, why don’t you rob a bank?
“Thirty million,” Long Xiao said, veins throbbing on his forehead.
“But several people have died,” Zhang Fan dragged out his voice long and slow.
Long Xiao was utterly furious.
Damn it, if it weren’t for the fact that several people had died, he wouldn’t be shelling out so much money.
Thirty million could make many people risk their lives.
“Thirty-five million,” Long Xiao said through gritted teeth.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Fan said, “I’m the one with a knife still in me.”
Long Xiao kicked away the woman snuggling up to him and bellowed, “Forty million, not a penny more, or I’m calling the cops.”
Zhang Fan saw it was about time to fold and immediately pulled out the bank card his mother-in-law had given him, reciting the card number out loud.
“Got that?
The money needs to be in the account within ten minutes.
Otherwise, I might die soon, you understand.
I’ll call you once I get the money.” With that, Zhang Fan shoved his phone into his pocket.
This was evidence, after all.
He had to keep it safe, at least until the money came through.
Zhang Dongyang’s eyes bulged, nearly popping out of their sockets.
He wasn’t eloquent, but watching his son secure forty million with just a few words—if there weren’t people lying on the ground, he might have thought this was some kind of game currency transaction.
Forty million, how much money was that?
Zhang Fan couldn’t help but purse his lips as he saw the stunned look on his dad’s face.
Ye Jingtian had told him how precious the half pack of tea leaves his dad owned was, that a gram could be sold for tens of millions.
Remembering this, Zhang Fan rolled his eyes.
Even if his dad had sold the tea over a decade ago, their family would have been filthy rich, with no need to take flak from that contemptible couple, Zhang Zhongliang and his spouse.
But seeing the look on his dad’s face, Zhang Fan could only shake his head continuously.
Dahongpao tea— even he hadn’t known it was so valuable.
It seemed he couldn’t blame his dad.
“Relax, just sit back and wait for the money, dad,” Zhang Fan said, then kicked Scarface a few times before returning to the stone table to lie back in his chair and crack some seeds.
About twenty minutes later, Scarface’s phone rang.
“The money’s been transferred, why haven’t you released the hostages?” Long Xiao’s voice was filled with endless rage.
Zhang Fan chuckled, quickly unlocked his phone to check the balance.
Seeing the hefty sum of over forty-one million, he grinned from ear to ear.
“Come and take them away, you know the place, right?”
“Of course, I know,” Long Xiao said resentfully.
Zhang Fan immediately hung up and tossed the card to his dad.
“The PIN is six sixes.”
Zhang Dongyang caught it, then vigorously shook his head.
“Keep the money, I don’t need it,” he said.
Zhang Fan immediately rolled his eyes and took out Qiu Shaoqian’s card.
“I have money.
Here’s ten million for you to splurge, hehe, dad.
From now on, with me around, you don’t have to work anymore.
Our family is wealthy.”
