Chapter 331 - Su Yanghao’s Regret (1/2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Meanwhile, inside the Su Family’s residence, everyone watched the development unfold with disbelief.

Just one moment ago, Chen Fan had his back against the wall under the pressure from the alliance of powerful families. Everyone was convinced that not even Li Wuchen was able to prevent his fate of being thrown behind bars. The list of crimes he had committed meant that he would have to spend the rest of his life in jail.

However, a moment later, Nin Chendong was kneeling before Chen Fan, begging for forgiveness. Tang Jianfen was dead and the Ji Family also capitulated to Chen Fan’s power. Director Xue hid behind the elders and tried to distance himself from the hot mess as far as possible.

The seemingly unstoppable alliance was destroyed by Chen Fan with ease.

Even then, Su Susu and Fang Mingde still found it hard to come to terms with reality. Meanwhile, the tyc.o.o.ns of Wu Zhou were stupefied by the outcome. Chen Fan had brought three prominent families from Zhong Hai and Jiang Nan Province to their knees. Once the news of what had happened here got out, it would blow everyone’s mind.

Some might not even believe it if they didn’t hear it from a legitimate source.

A less than twenty years old teenager forced the Ji Family, Nin Family and the Tang Family to bend their knees?

He was only nineteen, a first-year university student. People simply couldn’t imagine what he could achieve once he graduated from university. In ten years, there would be no one in entire China that could stop him from doing what he wants.

The thought of Chen Fan’s incredible power suddenly evoked a strong sense of regret in Su Yanghao’s mind.

When Su Yanghao told him that Chen Fan was Master Chen of Jiang Bei for the first time, he had already considered approving Little Nine’s marriage with him. However, the ire of the Ji Family of Zhong Hai made him hesitate a little too long. Before he could make up his mind, he had heard the news of Chen Fan mutilating Nin Yuze and cras.h.i.+ng the Su Family’s party.

From then on, Su Yanghao had thrown the idea of accepting Chen Fan out of the window.

He had proven himself to be an arrogant, savage and s.a.d.i.s.tic young man, and the Su Family would never accept him as one of them. When Chen Fan finally showed up with Fang Qiong, he openly insulted the Su Family and pointed out its weakness in front of everyone. Although Su Yanghao conceded that Chen Fan’s criticism had hit the mark, he couldn’t stomach a youngster dissing his life’s work. In a fit of anger, he decided to remain silent when Su Zhengde opened fire at Chen Fan.

He was convinced that as long as the Ji Family, Nin Family, and the Tang Family stuck together, they could eventually force the young man into submission. However, he had grossly underestimated the young man.

“With Chen Fan’s help, the Chen family might be able to dominate China in ten years.”

“We have lost our opportunity of gaining Chen Fan’s support. The Su Family is doomed once I pa.s.s away.”

Regret and sorrow gnawed at Su Yanghao’s mind. He regretted not believing in his intuition, silencing Su Zhengde’s hostility and rejecting the Ji Family’s request. If he had done all that, the Su Family would have gained the most useful ally.

With Chen Fan’s help, the Su Family would remain in the seat of power in Jiang Nan Province for at least a few more decades.

The missed opportunity made Su Yanghao heave a long sigh of regret.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan looked at Ji Shoujuo without paying any attention to Ji Luochen. “I can spare his life as long as you are willing to pay something in exchange. Name your offer now.”

Life ebbed away from Ji Luochen’s face. The embarra.s.sment from the humiliation was slowly killing him from the inside.

Ji Shoujuo pondered quietly for a moment and then a light came up in his eyes. He took a step forward and whispered something in Chen Fan’s ears.

Chen Fan was taken aback at first, and then he locked his eyes with the old man and nodded.

“Deal”

Ji Shoujuo finally let out a sigh of relief.

The exchange filled everyone’s mind with questions. What was the price that the Ji Family offered? What could have satisfied the cold-hearted Master Chen’s thirst for revenge?

Qiao Luoyin was close to Chen Fan, so she had heard the old man’s offer. She gasped under her breath.

“What a sly old fox!”

However, she nodded in approval at the old man’s offer. Chen Fan must not care for worldly possessions such as money and fame. After all, he already had an abundance of them. Although the Ji Family was not as strong as the Nin Family or the Tang Family financially, they were much more well connected than most other families with government officials.

That connection was what the Chen family lacked the most at this stage.

Ji Shoujuo’s price was too tempting for Chen Fan to refuse. The Chen family desperately needed a benefactor in the appropriate level of government. Li Wuchen was useful but he was overqualified in helping Chen Fan’s uncle and father further their careers.

After Chen Fan and Ji family had reached a deal, Mr. Qu finally remembered something.

He turned around and whispered to a man in black. “Inform everyone in that room that Grandmaster Chen’s ident.i.ty is cla.s.sified information and leaking the information is a criminal act.”

“Yes, Mr. Qu.” The man in black nodded.

He then gathered a helper to make a list of attendees and issued a warning to each and everyone of them.
