Chapter 81 Vengeance Fulfilled!

Because he saw that Zhang Yi’s favorability toward him had risen from fifty to sixty just now! This proved one thing: when spending money on women, never be stingy—the more generous you are, the more you win their admiration and affection.

Soon, Zhao Rumin brought the prepared contract to Lin Fan. Zhang Yi wanted to refuse, but after Lin Fan’s repeated requests, she finally signed her name. If Lin Fan had signed himself, he wouldn’t have received the Dog Coin rebate. After the transfer was completed, Zhao Rumin immediately changed his tone and addressed Lin Fan as “brother.”

“Big brother, you are truly generous. I’ve lived in Hang City for so many years, and this is the first time I’ve seen such an extravagant tycoon,” Zhao Rumin said, his gratitude genuine.

In less than ten minutes, he had earned a hundred million! This was even more surreal than winning the lottery—how could he not be thrilled? He had planned to sell for no less than sixty million if anyone tried to bargain, but Lin Fan directly offered twice his psychological minimum. This was true extravagance!

“The hotel has been bought, but I’d like you to stay on. After all, it’s an established brand—if someone else took over, the business might get even worse…” Lin Fan suggested that Zhao Rumin continue as the manager, with Zhang Yi as the owner behind the scenes, simply collecting profits while Zhao Rumin handled all the operations.

After all, she still had her own job.

Zhao Rumin naturally couldn’t refuse. With several tens of millions more in his pocket, he’d be happy to do anything Lin Fan asked—even go be Zhang Yi’s private chef!

Once Zhao Rumin left, Zhang Yi was still in a daze.

In just a short while, she had added a restaurant worth over a hundred million to her name. Her family’s total assets barely amounted to that much, but with only a few words from Lin Fan, she now possessed wealth exceeding a hundred million. She found it all unbelievable.

Now, she didn’t need to do anything—she could earn over a million in profit each month. She was a true winner in life, outshining even those born into wealth.

“I must admit, the food here is delicious—it’s worthy of a national banquet chef. If we can use internet platforms for marketing, it could easily turn profitable again…” Lin Fan was already brimming with plans to help Kangyuan Restaurant quickly turn things around.

Seeing him speak passionately, eyes full of ambition, Zhang Yi felt her affection for him deepen.

Suddenly, she remembered the reason she had come to see him tonight.

“Are you free during National Day? My cousin is getting engaged, and I’d like you to come with me. Last time, you gave me two sets of dresses, which my mother saw. She asked if I had a new boyfriend, so I told her about you. Now she wants me to bring you home to meet the family…”

Hearing this, Lin Fan grinned smugly. “So soon? I’m meeting the parents already? I’m not even prepared!”

“It’s just meeting the parents; who knows if it’ll work out…” Zhang Yi blushed, giving him a shy, playful look.

Lin Fan only smiled, saying nothing more. At this point, he guessed that Zhang Yi had already accepted him in her heart. After all, they had almost become a couple before, and now, with more money than he could ever spend, winning her heart was only a matter of time.

Afterward, Zhang Yi briefly described her family situation. Lin Fan also asked about her parents’ hobbies so he could prepare gifts in advance and make a good impression.

After dinner, they watched a movie together. After taking her home, Lin Fan didn’t return directly to Bihu Villa but instead drove to Huanshi Entertainment.

It was already ten in the evening.

That morning, his company, Genesis Entertainment, had been investigated. That afternoon, Huanshi Entertainment had also been raided—in fact, it had been shut down.

With Su Juanmo pulling strings for him and Zhou Zheng’s lack of connections, plus all the evidence Lin Fan had provided, both uncle and nephew had been taken away.

But Lin Fan had heard from several female streamers who used to work at Huanshi Entertainment that the uncle and nephew pair had posted bail and were released that evening.

There was no need to guess—they would surely destroy all evidence and close the company.

Most live-stream companies operate at night. When Lin Fan arrived at Huanshi Entertainment, sure enough, the uncle and nephew were directing moving crews to clear out the premises.

Clearly, they intended to lay low and make a comeback when things cooled down.

Lin Fan would never let them succeed.

He intended to complete his revenge tonight!

The moment Lin Fan appeared, Zhou Zheng immediately spotted him.

“What are you doing here? This is your doing, isn’t it?” Zhou Zheng’s face turned furious at Lin Fan’s schadenfreude, and he accused him of reporting them.

“I did it. What will you do about it?” Lin Fan replied with disdain. Since he had come, he’d already expected Zhou Zheng to suspect him at once.

Hearing him admit it, Zhou Zheng was even more enraged, his eyes blazing as he glared at Lin Fan.

“I’ll kill you today! Uncle, have them lock the doors!” Zhou Zheng shouted.

Wang Dezhi immediately ordered people to block the exits, even stationing men at the windows.

“You bastard! So it was you who ruined me and made me a pauper overnight! Tell me, how do you want to die?” Zhou Zheng snarled, grabbing a fruit knife from a cabinet and pointing it at Lin Fan, his expression murderous.

Yet Lin Fan remained calm, his eyes sweeping over the movers who had surrounded him.

It was obvious at a glance that these workers were thugs—likely underlings of the so-called underworld boss he’d mentioned before. Many such men serve as movers, security guards, or bar staff during the day, hiding their true affiliations.

All of them eyed him like predators, bloodthirsty and vicious, as if they wanted to tear him apart.

But Lin Fan showed no fear. Before coming upstairs, he had spent one hundred thousand Fortune Points to exchange for a “Golden Armor” item card. He had already tested its effect: impervious to knives and bullets. Facing over twenty thugs, he had nothing to fear.

“Your bank accounts are frozen, your assets seized, and you don’t have a dime left, do you?”

“I have an idea. Transfer the company to me, and I’ll give you some money. At least you’ll have some dignity and won’t go hungry. What do you think?” Lin Fan spoke with composure.

“Dignity?” Zhou Zheng’s mouth twisted in anger.

Such blatant humiliation! As if it wasn’t enough for this guy to report him, now he’d come to rub salt in the wound?

Unbearable!

“You bastard, I’ll kill you!” Zhou Zheng roared, brandishing the knife and leaping at Lin Fan like a tiger.

But in the next moment, there was a dull thud!

Zhou Zheng’s body suddenly bounced off like a rubber ball, crashing into the cabinet behind him.

The others hadn’t even seen Lin Fan move before Zhou Zheng howled in pain.

“What are you waiting for? Get him! Kill him! I want his skin!” Zhou Zheng shrieked, his face twisted in agony.

He was horrified to find that several of his ribs had been broken by Lin Fan’s blow. The excruciating pain left him unable to get up.
