Evening.
Xiangjun Mansion.
When Chen Fan and Lu Jinyuan arrived, Lu Huifa and Lu Siyu were waiting to greet them at the entrance of the restaurant.
"Mr. Chen, I’ve heard so much about you, I am Lu Huifa, the current Patriarch of the Lu Family. My unworthy son has caused you so trouble before; please be lenient with us," Lu Huifa said with a smile on his face.
Chen Fan gave a slight nod, "Patriarch Lu is too polite."
A group of people entered a private room, where the table was already laden with food and drink.
After sitting down, Lu Huifa first offered several toasts as an apology, and Lu Siyu followed by apologizing and penalizing himself with a few drinks.
Then Lu Huifa got to the point, "Mr. Chen, Boss Lu, the reason we invited you here today is firstly to apologize, and secondly, to talk about a potential collaboration."
"The Life Spiritual Liquid from your company is indeed very effective from what I’ve felt, however your company is small and might find it difficult to maximize the product’s value. Our Lu Pharmaceuticals, on the other hand, has top-level resources. If we work together, we can definitely make a fortune from this Life Spiritual Liquid."
Lu Siyu chid in smilingly, "Exactly, we provide the resources, and you bring the product; it’s a win-win situation for sure."
Seeing the sincerity in both n’s attitudes, Chen Fan lightly nodded, "Considering the attitude with which you have acknowledged your mistake, I can make your Lu Clan an agent for our Qingfan Pharmaceuticals."
The smiles on Lu Huifa’s and Lu Siyu’s faces froze instantly.
Lu Siyu, having drunk quite a lot, was a bit tipsy and cursed on the spot, "You want the Lu Family to be an agent for your little company? Are you out of your mind?"
Chen Fan saw how quickly Lu Siyu’s face changed and let out a cold laugh, "Qingfan Pharmaceuticals might be small right now, but with the Life Spiritual Liquid, it will quickly beco a new giant in the Provincial City pharmaceutical world."
"By then, your Lu Family will lose all your living space. Offering you an agency was already rciful of ."
Lu Huifa’s expression darkened, "Let’s not be so absolute in our speech. Do you think my Lu Family would give you such an opportunity?"
"Don’t think that our coming to apologize ans we are afraid of you. We simply recognize the comrcial value of the Life Spiritual Liquid; this is the Lu Family giving you an opportunity. Don’t be ungrateful!"
Chen Fan curled his lips, "Then what kind of cooperation are you thinking of?"
Lu Huifa said coldly, "We want to be fully involved in the production of the Life Spiritual Liquid; you have to share the formula."
Chen Fan raised an eyebrow, "And then, once you have the formula, you kick us to the curb?"
Lu Huifa’s expression stiffened, "You’re thinking too much. Our company is so large; we would not stoop to such disgraceful acts."
Chen Fan scoffed, "The Life Spiritual Liquid doesn’t have a formula, and it doesn’t need production. Thus, the Lu Family is of no value to us. I was considering giving you guys an agency spot just because you apologized, but now it seems unnecessary."
Lu Siyu looked at Chen Fan with teeth clenched, "Do you think we are fools? If it doesn’t need production, where does all that Life Spiritual Liquid co from?"
"Today you must hand over the formula; otherwise, your company won’t be able to continue operating!"
Chen Fan looked at Lu Siyu, "The more ignorant people are, often the more confident they are."
Lu Siyu burst out in anger, "You dare say I’m ignorant? I know a lot more than you!"
Chen Fan asked with a smile, "So, if I said I could slap you across the face without moving from here, would you believe that?"
Lu Siyu shouted angrily, "Do you think I’m an idiot? If you can slap from where you’re sitting without moving, I’ll call you ’Dad!’"
Chen Fan laughed, "All right then, don’t back out on your word."
Afterwards, he released a strand of Spiritual Power, which transford into an invisible giant hand and slapped across Lu Siyu’s face.
With a smack!
Lu Siyu was flipped over to the ground.
He looked around in terror, "There are ghosts...ghosts!"
Lu Huifa was aware that so highly skilled martial artists could injure people from a distance, and he glared at Lu Siyu, "Stop making a fuss, you’re embarrassing us!"
Chen Fan looked at Lu Siyu with a mocking gaze, "Call daddy now."
Lu Siyu’s face was gloomy, "Call your own mother! Do you think you’re worthy?"
Chen Fan’s expression turned cold, and in a flash, he was in front of Lu Siyu, grabbing his neck, "I detest people who don’t keep their word."
"Are you going to call or not?"
Lu Siyu, struggling to breathe, soon turned purple in the face.
Being soone who cherished life, he cast aside all dignity under the threat of death, "Daddy...Daddy, from now on you’re my father, please let go..."
Only then did Chen Fan let him go.
He then turned to look at Lu Huifa, smiling as he said, "From today on, your son has taken my surna."
Lu Huifa’s expression turned extrely dark, "You’re courting death, do you really think I have no way to deal with you?"
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, "What you should be considering now is how to save the Lu Family. Both of you pretended to apologize, which greatly disappointed . From now on, Provincial City no longer needs the presence of the Lu Family!"
He stood up and looked at Lu Jinyuan, "Let’s go."
The two left the private room together.
Lu Huifa was seething with rage, turning to Lu Siyu, "Call your brother-in-law right now, I want to show this youngster the might of the Lu Family!"
Outside the restaurant.
Lu Jinyuan looked at Chen Fan with so concern, "Mr. Chen, it’s true that the Lu father and son deserved what they got for their insincere apologies, but our complete break with them ans they probably won’t let things go easily. If they use their military connections against us, it could be bad."
Chen Fan gave a smile, "Don’t worry, if it cos to that, they will be the ones out of luck."
Lu Jinyuan was confused, mumbling to himself, "Could Mr. Chen be overconfident? Well, we’ll cross that bridge when we co to it."
...
Early the next morning, Chen Fan received a call from Lu Jinyuan.
"Mr. Chen, you need to co to the company right away, there’s been an incident!"
When Chen Fan arrived at Qingfan Pharmaceuticals, he found the company building sealed off, and a group of ard soldiers standing guard at the front.
Lu Huifa and Lu Siyu were mockingly gloating over Lu Jinyuan.
"This is what happens to those who offend the Lu Family!"
Chen Fan walked over, "Who gave you the authority to seal our company?"
Lu Siyu looked at Chen Fan with a cold sneer and said to a man in a uniform not far away, "Captain Xing, Chen Fan is here."
Captain Xing approached, sizing up Chen Fan, "Your company is suspected of manufacturing dangerous goods that threaten public safety, co with us."
During Chen Fan’s prestigious War God ceremony, all the high-ranking officials of the War Zone were present, but this Captain Xing did not recognize Chen Fan.
Chen Fan frowned, "Manufacturing dangerous goods? Do you have any evidence?"
Captain Xing took out a few bottles that were unidentifiable, "These are explosives, found in the workshop where you produce Life Spiritual Liquid."
Chen Fan suddenly laughed, "Officer, our company does not have a workshop to produce Life Spiritual Liquid, you must have been bought off by this father and son from the Lu Clan, right?"
