Chapter 410: Threat from Fan Hua
The reason why Sun Xiaohao directed Fan Zhimao to perform this act in front of Fan Hua and the reporters was, on the one hand, to add some spice to the reporters' news and to push the drama of the deep love between father and son to a climax.
Another reason was to let Fan Zhimao deliberately provoke Fan Hua so that when they communicated privately, Fan Hua would probably say something radical.
Sun Xiaohao had already told the two brothers in advance that Fan Hua was an old fox and cold-blooded. Even if this man was their biological father, they should not be soft-hearted when competing with him.
We didn't have to use any leverage to hold Fan Hua hostage, but we had to have it. Given his fickle and lying style, every conversation with him had to be secretly recorded and recorded as evidence so that we could strike him a fatal blow at a critical moment.
Including the previous house incident, they had secretly recorded the phone calls with Fan Hua, but Fan Hua didn't know about it. Or maybe he didn't take these young boys who had never experienced the world seriously.
Sun Xiaohao has saved several copies of the evidence in different places, for fear that they would be lost at the critical moment.
What kind of people has Fan Hua not seen? He knows the character of his two sons best. These two children are not so cunning, and can even be said to be a little dull, just two silly and stupid.
Now their series of bold actions caught Fan Hua off guard. Fan Hua felt that there must be an expert behind the scenes.
As long as he can deal with this guy, his two stupid sons will be vulnerable.
Although Fan Hua accepted the interview and took the opportunity to market his good image, for him, being in the news was not a good thing.
Therefore, Fan Hua felt that the most important task at the moment was to find acquaintances in the news industry to say hello and suppress the heat of this news.
When the news fell into obscurity, the fate of the two boys would be completely in his hands again.
Fan Hua thought so, and after sending away the reporters, he first arranged for Sun Xiaohao and Fan Zhimao to go to the hotel where he was staying and booked a room next to his.
Then he went back to his room and made a few phone calls, explaining that the reason he didn't want to be in the news was entirely for the sake of his eldest son and he didn't want anything on the Internet to affect his mood.
He has accumulated a lot of connections in various industries over the years, so it would be easy for him to suppress such news.
After finishing the call, Fan Hua left the room and went to find Sun Xiaohao and Fan Zhimao to ask them what they wanted to do.
Sun Xiaohao had no say when facing Fan Hua. He just made some instructions to Fan Zhimao in advance and hid the video equipment in an inconspicuous corner of the room.
After Fan Hua entered the room, he said to Sun Xiaohao, "We have something to discuss between father and son. It's inconvenient for others to listen. You go out first!"
He felt uncomfortable just by looking at Sun Xiaohao's face. Moreover, Sun Xiaohao's frog eyes were always rolling around, and it was obvious that he was up to something bad.
Looking back, it seemed that Sun Xiaohao was behind all the time when his two sons started to disobey him until now.
He now has to suspect that his two sons were corrupted by this "Qian Xiaoshu" (Sun Xiaohao).
As for the purpose of his doing this, Fan Hua felt it necessary to have someone investigate it in detail.
Seeing that Fan Hua seemed to dislike him a little, Sun Xiaohao didn't stay in the room to be an eyesore. He just turned around and gave Fan Zhimao a look, signaling him to "perform" well.
Sun Xiaohao left the room, tactfully helped Fan Hua and his son close the door, and went downstairs to eat.
Fan Hua opened the door and confirmed that Sun Xiaohao was not eavesdropping outside, and only then did he feel relieved.
Fan Zhimao sat on a stool beside the bed and asked Fan Hua, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Fan Hua also sat down on a stool and said to Fan Zhimao, "Xiaomao, tell me the truth. Is it that Xiaoshu who taught you to be like this? You two better stay away from him. He is not a good person!"
Fan Zhimao couldn't stand Fan Hua saying bad things about Sun Xiaohao, so he interrupted Fan Hua angrily: "He's not a good person, so are you? Even if he's not a good person, he's better than a devil like you. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but you're trying to kill us both.
You think we're not dying fast enough? Are you so impatient to send us to hell? None of my three uncles lived past the age of 30, and we two brothers probably won't live for many more years. And yet you think we're living too long, right? "
Fan Hua defended himself, "You really wronged Dad. I bought you a house with good intentions, but how come I am wrong in the end?"
Fan Zhimao sneered and said, "You have good intentions? Would you use the worst decoration materials for us if you have good intentions? Your magnificent home in Beijing is not like this, right? Don't say you don't understand. If you don't understand, why don't you decorate your house in Beijing like this?
If you have the guts, take your youngest son back to your hometown and live there for a month or two. I want to see if you dare. If you don’t dare, it means that you knew how toxic those decoration materials were, but you deliberately used them for me and my brother.”
Fan Hua originally wanted to adopt a conciliatory policy and let the two brothers behave themselves, which would be good for everyone.
But it seemed that he could not reconcile with the two brothers. He simply stopped pretending and said directly: "Since you know everything, what else is there to say? I can help treat your brother's illness, but you two have to promise not to cause trouble for me again..."
Fan Zhimao asked, "Are you threatening me? If you want us to stop making trouble, that's fine, but you have to give us a discount on the houses you didn't deliver, and give us one million yuan each as compensation."
Fan Hua suddenly became anxious and said angrily, "Money, money, money. You two don't care about anything else except money, right? My money is all blown by the wind. I just bought those four houses and spent more than 5 million. How can I have money? Do you still think your father runs his own banknote printing factory?"
Fan Zhimao insisted, "Either pay me or forget it. If you don't let us two brothers live well, your whole family will have no chance of living well either!"
If you don't have money, you can sell your house. You used fake property certificates to fool us with the four houses. Your property certificates can't be fake, right? And your mansion in Beijing, isn't it for sale? It should be worth at least 20 million, right? "
Fan Hua was about to be pissed off by Fan Zhimao. He said, "I'll give it all to you. How can I live like this? I just have this status to sound good. Do you think I can be like a big boss, with money flowing into my pocket continuously?"
Fan Zhimao asked back: "Isn't that right? You can't earn so many houses just by seeing patients and giving lectures, right? If you want to earn more, there must be many ways to do it."
Fan Hua hated the feeling of being led by a young boy, especially when that boy was his son who was always submissive in front of him.
He was so angry that he slapped Fan Zhimao in the face, then grabbed Fan Zhimao's neck and said viciously, "Don't think I can do nothing about your little tricks. If I'm serious, I can make you two brothers, plus that shifty Qian Xiaoshu, disappear without anyone noticing. So, go back and tell those two brothers to behave themselves."
Fan Zhimao was strangled by Fan Hua until he couldn't breathe and felt like he was on the verge of death. Coupled with the influence of Fan Hua's vicious eyes and cold tone, he felt a great fear in his heart.
He didn't dare to say anything until Fan Hua released the hand that was pinching his neck and turned away with big strides.
