The air seed to freeze in that mont, as Xu Fan, feeling the cold gazes from many shareholders, raised the corners of his mouth unnaturally.
"Indeed, as an outsider, I shouldn't be here. However, I, Xu Fan, have a few words I'd like to say to you all."
He hadn't been sitting in the conference room for long, but the brief confrontation had been enough for Xu Fan to realize that the main force behind the shareholders' collusion against Xia Yanyu was the middle-aged man openly challenging him now.
"I'm not sure what you were discussing before, and I'm not interested in finding out. All I know is that all of you old n here have ganged up to bully a young girl."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, even more shaless than , aren't you?"
"Boy! What did you just say?"
Realizing Xu Fan's mockery, a shareholder sitting nearby stood up angrily, with quite a bit of the pot calling the kettle black.
"Shut up."
"You!"
Feeling Xu Fan's icy gaze, the man, for so reason, felt an illusion, as if Xu Fan's gaze had turned into a sword thrusting toward him, and he subconsciously stepped back several paces in fright.
Having no ti to deal with this unknown shareholder, Xu Fan smiled and said, "As for Xia Yanyu, I'm not particularly fond of her either. However, seeing you all gang up on her like this isn't beneficial to either.
You should know that Xia Yanyu is Xia Xiaodie's guardian. If Xia Yanyu falls, Xia Xiaodie won't benefit at all. Besides, the business deal I'm about to discuss, the negotiator, Xia Yanyu, is definitely preferable over these old foxes.
At that mont, Xu Fan sighed and smiled, "Having said all this, there's only one purpose. When Xia Yanyu cos in later, I hope, you won't let her down again."
"How about it? Can you do that?"
"..."
"Pfft."
"Hahaha..."
In that mont, around the conference table, dozens of shareholders burst into laughter simultaneously.
This guy really knew how to play his cards, almost fooled everyone for a mont. But listen to Xia Yanyu?
This guy, does he have the right?
"Is it that funny?"
Confronted with everyone's ridicule, Xu Fan appeared sowhat composed. He glanced around at the group lightly and then asked.
The leading shareholder scornfully glanced at Xu Fan and snorted, "Boy, stop trying to act tough here. Listen to you? Who do you think you are?"
"What right do you have to make us listen to you?"
"Hmm..."
Facing this question, Xu Fan seed unable to find a suitable answer. He furrowed his brows, thought for a mont, and then looked back at the questioner.
"Don't rush to make sense just yet. Let ask you sothing, do you walk alone at night?"
"What?"
Upon hearing Xu Fan's words, the lead shareholder instantly furrowed his brows and his expression darkened.
"Boy, are you threatening ?"
This was an overt threat from Xu Fan, the implication couldn't be clearer. Seeing that the crowd was sowhat intimidated, Xu Fan smiled and said, "Many of you are much older than and I believe you all have sons and daughters; your wives are likely wonderful too."
"If you don't walk alone at night, but your children are playful and sothing happens to them late at night, that's really worriso. You know, the security in Jinling isn't very good these days."
"You!"
All those present were seasoned players in the business arena, readily spotting any sched entanglents in contracts, yet they were without a clue on how to handle threats of a thuggish nature like those from Xu Fan.
At that mont, observing the uncontrollable anger in everyone's eyes, Xu Fan narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly before saying, "You know, once people get money, they start fearing death, always wishing for their family to be safe and happy. If sothing happens at ho, surely, nobody would be pleased."
"Do you think I'm right?"
"You dare!"
The leading shareholder's eyes were about to shoot fire as he rebuked and glared at Xu Fan!
"Kid! Do you believe I can stop you from leaving this conference room today?"
"Oh?"
His own words had clearly touched the bottom line of these influential individuals. Xu Fan raised his eyebrows, slapped the table with a palm, and stood up imdiately.
"As for , I have just one cheap life, and I'm really not afraid to have a little ga with all of you."
"If you're interested, you might want to ask around about Lu Qiu. Although the incident a while back was covered up, I believe, with your capabilities, it shouldn't be hard to find out what kind of person I am."
"Well, having said so much, I'm tired now. All of you, better rember my words."
Having said this, Xu Fan leaned on the conference table with both hands, casually swept a glance over everyone, his mouth twisting into a smirk, then left the conference room without looking back.
"Nonsense."
After Xu Fan had left, the leading shareholder, infuriated, punched the conference table hard and cursed aloud.
Allowing such a brat to infuriate them this much was truly a dampener!
"Hmm?"
At that mont, they suddenly heard a series of crackling sounds. Everyone involuntarily paused and looked in the direction of the sounds.
They saw from where Xu Fan had been sitting, a crack on the conference table was spreading at a visible rate!
Within monts, the number of cracks grew from a few to countless, spreading across half the table like a destruction wrought by decay and rot!
It was a sight that struck terror into their hearts, resembling thousands of termites gnawing away at this solid wooden table.
Finally, the conference table could no longer bear the damage, and under the astonished gazes of everyone, it broke into countless pieces with a loud crash.
Pieces about twenty centiters thick fell onto the carpet, stirring up a cloud of dust! Everyone sat still in their chairs, stunned by the sight of the collapsing conference table, feeling a tingling in their scalps.
It must be noted that this conference table was made of solid wood, not hollow. It could not normally be damaged so severely by chopping or hacking in a short ti.
But this...
The young man had only lightly placed his hand on the table, and such was the effect.
The strength behind this was truly astonishing.
The atmosphere in the conference room instantly beca extrely tense, the heavy air seed like it could be wrung out.
Reflecting on Xu Fan's understated actions earlier, these multimillionaire shareholders found themselves a bit dry-mouthed, swallowing hard to suppress their hearts that seed to jump out of their throats.
"Do you walk at night?"
Suddenly, Xu Fan's previously innocuous, smiling query echoed again in their ears, a seemingly weightless threat that now felt profoundly heavy.
In that mont, everyone seed to understand why Xu Fan had kept it short and straightforward, simply telling them to do as he had said.
With such power, why would he need to reason with you?
