Chapter 332: The Dumbfounded Tang Father and Son

Chapter 332: Chapter 332: The Dumbfounded Tang Father and Son

"You punk, you..."

Seeing Jiang Fan use Tang Mengtao as a stool, Tang Yutong was burning with rage.

But in the next moment, Jiang Fan’s machete was back at Tang Mengtao’s throat.

Tang Mengtao was well aware of his pathetic state, but with a machete at his neck, he didn’t dare utter a single word. Humiliated, he let Jiang Fan sit on him.

"Good. Kid, you’re really something else!"

Tang Yutong glared at Jiang Fan, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"No need to be angry, Patriarch Tang. As soon as we’ve talked things through, I’ll let your son go immediately."

"Fine. I’d like to see what kind of backup you can call. When you get the entire orphanage in trouble because of you, don’t you dare come kneeling and kowtowing before me."

"Just wait and see," Jiang Fan said calmly.

"Stay down. It’d be a shame if my machete ’accidentally’ hurt you."

"Jiang Fan..." Junyue whispered, "Isn’t this going a little too far? I’m worried this will bring trouble for Grandma and the others at the orphanage."

Jiang Fan calmly reassured her, "Junyue, don’t worry. I have to resolve this today. Otherwise, even if we leave here now, they’ll just come looking for us again tomorrow."

"Are you sure you can handle this?"

"Don’t worry!"

Junyue’s brow was still furrowed, but she didn’t say anything more.

For some reason, she felt a great sense of trust in Jiang Fan.

The last time, also at the entrance of the Grand Orphanage, the scene of Jiang Fan dealing with Liu Quan was still fresh in her mind.

So this time, she instinctively chose to believe in Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan pulled a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and looked perfectly at ease.

Meanwhile, Tang Yutong’s eyes were filled with killing intent, and the thugs behind him were itching for a fight.

Time ticked by. After about ten minutes, a stretch Lincoln drove up from the distance and stopped directly in front of Jiang Fan and Tang Yutong.

By now, a crowd had gathered at the construction site entrance. Everyone was looking in Jiang Fan’s direction, and the construction crew had stopped working.

As a man slowly stepped out of the Lincoln, the cigarette in Jiang Fan’s hand had burned down to the filter.

Seeing the man get out of the car, Tang Yutong immediately rushed over.

"Liu, what brings you here?" All of Tang Yutong’s earlier murderous intent was gone, replaced by a beaming smile as he asked the question.

The man who got out of the car was none other than Liujiang River, the person Jiang Fan had just called.

Liujiang River scanned the scene. When he saw Jiang Fan, he asked in a cold voice, "What’s going on here?"

As if he’d found his savior, Tang Yutong looked at Liujiang River and pointed viciously at Jiang Fan. "Liu, you’re just in time! Our resort project just started, and this punk has the gall to come here and make trouble. He must be some bastard from the Grand Orphanage. The punk caught me off guard and took my son hostage to threaten me."

SLAP!

With a crisp smack, Liujiang River landed a heavy slap across Tang Yutong’s face.

"Who the fuck did you just call a bastard?"

"Liu, it... it was this punk! He’s the one who ruined everything..."

Tang Yutong looked completely innocent, holding his cheek in a state of shock.

Just then, Liujiang River strode quickly toward Jiang Fan.

"Mr. Jiang, I am so sorry. This is all my fault for being so thoughtless. I forgot to inform my subordinates, and I’ve caused you so much trouble."

As soon as Liujiang River said this, everyone present was stunned.

The expressions on everyone’s faces were priceless. Even Junyue stared at Jiang Fan in disbelief.

Jiang Fan, however, slowly rose to his feet, his expression calm.

Tang Yutong and Tang Mengtao’s expressions were the most priceless of all. They didn’t know whether to be shocked or dumbfounded, and for a moment, they were utterly speechless.

"Liujiang River, you’ve really outdone yourself," Jiang Fan said coolly. "First, you abduct my daughter from here, and now you’re targeting our orphanage. You’re really something else, aren’t you?"

"Mr. Jiang, please, don’t say that! It’s my fault, I deserve to die!" Liujiang River said, looking utterly terrified.

At this, Tang Yutong and Tang Mengtao were completely petrified.

Nearby, Junyue’s eyes were wide with disbelief.

No one could have imagined that Liujiang River, the dignified Patriarch of the great Liu Family of Chenel, would be so polite to Jiang Fan—even bordering on subservient.

"Mr. Jiang, this is my fault. When we secured the resort project, the area including the Grand Orphanage was part of the plan. I didn’t connect the dots at the time, which led to today’s misunderstanding."

"A misunderstanding? You’re telling me this is a misunderstanding?" Jiang Fan stood up and held the machete out to Liujiang River.

"Look how many people are here. Every single one of them is holding a machete. If I hadn’t been here, those blades would have fallen on my family at the orphanage. You tell me this is just a misunderstanding? Then what if I use this machete to chop you, Liujiang River, to pieces? Would that also be a misunderstanding?"

After speaking, Jiang Fan tossed the machete to Liujiang River.

Liujiang River trembled as he looked at Jiang Fan, continuing to explain frantically, "Mr. Jiang, this truly wasn’t my intention. I deserve to die. If I had known the Grand Orphanage was so important to you, I would have warned my men in advance. I would never have let them come here to cause trouble."

Jiang Fan’s cold gaze swept over Tang Mengtao and Tang Yutong.

"Fuck, what are you two still gawking for? Are you looking to die?" Fuming, Liujiang River kicked Tang Yutong. "Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Jiang!"

Although Tang Yutong was still at a loss, seeing how Liujiang River treated Jiang Fan, he immediately dropped to his knees with a THUD.

"Mr. Jiang, I’m sorry! We were wrong! It was a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding!"

Seeing their own Patriarch Tang in such a state, the crowd of men behind Tang Yutong didn’t dare say another word. They all put away their machetes and meekly bowed their heads.

Behind Jiang Fan, Tang Mengtao didn’t even dare to stand up. Terrified of being implicated, he remained sprawled on the ground, not daring to say a word.

Jiang Fan scanned the crowd and finally smiled with satisfaction.

He looked at Liujiang River and said coldly, "Alright. I heard you handled the approval process for this land personally. We clearly hold the land use rights certificate, so tell me, where did you get your certificate?"

"M-Mr. Jiang, I did use some... methods for this matter. You should know, our Liu Family is a major player in the real estate industry throughout the entire province. Since we wanted to secure the resort project, arranging some paperwork wasn’t difficult."

"In other words, you were planning to seize the land by force?" Jiang Fan asked.

Liujiang River waved his hands frantically. "Mr. Jiang, if I had known this land was yours, you could have given me ten times the courage and I still wouldn’t have dared!"
