Chapter 940: Chapter 877: Paying the Price
"Mr. Tan, do you know why I’m visiting today?" Liu Hun asked Tan Guomin with a smile once Uncle Yun had taken his seat.
Since today’s visit was meant to cause trouble, Liu Hun didn’t need to be particularly polite to Tan Guomin. After all, they would tear each other apart in the end.
Moreover, Tan Fei had disrupted things several times, making Liu Hun extremely displeased.
"Please explain, Mr. Liu. As one gets older, sometimes one’s reaction time slows down. I hope Mr. Liu can understand." Tan Guomin feigned ignorance as he asked Liu Hun in return, seeing Liu Hun getting straight to the point.
After all, Tan Fei had merely sent a cultivator to stir up trouble today without causing Tianhe Restaurant any actual damage. More importantly, it was just a one-sided accusation, and Liu Hun lacked conclusive evidence. As long as they insisted that the Qin Family had nothing to do with it, Liu Hun wouldn’t be able to do anything about them.
This was Tan Guomin’s thought process. It’s just that in this world, ideas can be beautiful, but reality is often harsh.
"Not only did your company harass my girlfriend at Tianhe Restaurant last time, but you’ve also come looking for trouble multiple times. Today, you even sent someone to set us up. I think Mr. Tan should have an explanation for me about this, shouldn’t you?" Liu Hun said with a calm expression.
"Mr. Liu, I’m aware of Tan Fei troubling your girlfriend earlier, and I can have Tan Fei apologize for that. But as for what happened today, I’m afraid Mr. Liu shouldn’t blame that on the Qin Family, as it’s just a single statement from someone else." Tan Guomin frowned slightly as he responded heavily to Liu Hun finding fault.
After saying that, he turned and lectured Tan Fei, who was sitting beside him: "Why are you still standing there? Apologize to Mr. Liu now. Mr. Liu’s woman is not someone you can harass. Know your own status."
After being scolded by his father, Tan Fei gritted his teeth. He naturally understood what his father was thinking. If an apology could settle the matter, since Liu Hun lacked any evidence linking the corporation to the incident today.
But for Tan Fei, apologizing to Liu Hun was incredibly difficult.
"Dad, Xiner has nothing to do with her at all. He was just a teacher at Southeast University for a while, and during that time, Xiner had no feelings for him. All this has been investigated!" Tan Fei said angrily to his father.
Tan Guomin hadn’t expected his son to be so stubborn. If Tan Fei refused to apologize to Liu Hun today, then Liu Hun could use the matter as an excuse to continue causing trouble for the Qin Family. This was a result Tan Guomin didn’t want to see.
"Slap!" As soon as Tan Fei finished speaking, Tan Guomin stood up and slapped Tan Fei hard across the face, angrily saying: "Just because there was no relationship before doesn’t mean there won’t be one now or in the future. Besides, when you were present, did Miss Han object to being Mr. Liu’s girlfriend? Foolish brat! How would you feel if someone harassed your girlfriend?"
"What did I do wrong? You’re just afraid of his status and abilities, aren’t you? Even if they are dating, until they’re married, others can’t pursue her? There’s no such law in the country. Why is he giving me trouble?" complained Tan Fei angrily, his face red from the slap, both hands covering his cheeks.
"Slap!" Another hard slap landed on Tan Fei’s face as soon as he finished speaking.
Looking at his father’s enraged face, Tan Fei gritted his teeth stubbornly, refusing to apologize to Liu Hun.
Seeing the father and son like this, Liu Hun maintained a calm complexion, but at this moment, he could no longer stand by idly.
Finally, he spoke to Tan Guomin: "Regarding the incident of harassing my girlfriend, I won’t mention it for now. But today, when your son sent someone to set up the restaurant, I hope Mr. Tan can give me an explanation!"
Having said this, Liu Hun’s eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing in their depths.
He naturally understood what Tan Guomin was thinking, and Liu Hun only used this issue as a pretext. Whether they admitted it or not wasn’t the main point.
"Mr. Liu, this was absolutely not instigated by the Qin Family. In this world, many love to play the role of the yellow sparrow, and solely based on one-sided claims, to accuse the Qin Family seems rather hasty, doesn’t it?" Tan Guomin said to Liu Hun with a serious look on his face when the matter was brought up.
Facing Tan Guomin’s explanation, Liu Hun scoffed, his voice gradually turning cold: "Mr. Tan, are you really not planning to admit this matter?"
"Mr. Liu, this wasn’t the doing of the Qin Family, so how can we admit to it?" Tan Guomin insisted.
"Fine, very well, if that’s the case, then don’t blame me for being rude!" No sooner had Liu Hun finished speaking than Uncle Yun disappeared like a ghost.
By the time they saw Uncle Yun again, he had silently appeared in front of Tan Fei, grabbing him by the neck and lifting him lightly.
"Mr. Liu, what is the meaning of this?" Seeing his son captured by Uncle Yun, Tan Guomin felt a surge of shock and anger in his heart.
He didn’t expect Liu Hun to be so decisive, even without evidence, he was this brazen.
"My meaning is simple, either admit to this matter and find a way to compensate, because I, Liu Hun, am not someone to be easily bullied; if you don’t admit it, then I can handle him today, and we can quietly leave here, and then you won’t have any evidence. I hope Chairman Tan can believe me on this," Liu Hun replied to Tan Guomin nonchalantly, crossing his legs.
Facing Liu Hun’s blatant threat, Tan Guomin’s face changed drastically, looking at his son who was already starting to roll his eyes, Tan Guomin’s eyes were filled with a struggle.
If this matter is admitted, then it would be equivalent to giving Liu Hun the opportunity to make a move, and even then Liu Hun would not let them off the hook.
Tan Guomin is well aware of this, but at this moment, if he doesn’t admit it, he fears that his son might be in danger.
"Clap clap clap... As expected of the chairman of Tianhe Company, having such audacity to break into others’ homes and act violently!" At this moment, a round of applause suddenly came from inside the house, followed by a young man who slowly walked out and, with a calm face, looked at Liu Hun and spoke slowly.
Hearing this, Liu Hun followed the gaze and saw that this young man was about twenty-seven or eight years old, with a tall and straight body. To use today’s popular slang, this young man was a typical handsome guy.
However, Liu Hun paid no attention to the figure and appearance of the other party. As the young man came out, Liu Hun suddenly felt the black force inside his Dantian begin to fluctuate.
Feeling this, Liu Hun couldn’t help but feel a few shades of shock, as this black force has always caused him some concern, and he doesn’t know what it actually is.
But judging from the appearance of that pendant, Liu Hun knows it’s definitely not a good thing.
Yet, the appearance of this young man could stir up that force, leaving Liu Hun puzzled about what the connection between this guy and the pendant might be.
Taking a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turbulent force in his Dantian, Liu Hun narrowed his eyes slightly and coldly asked the young man in front of him, "Who might you be?"
"I’m merely an irrelevant person, but if you really want to know, I can tell you, I am Xiaofei’s cousin Tangshan." Tangshan calmly replied to Liu Hun.
Facing Tangshan’s reply, it was somewhat unexpected for Liu Hun, as he didn’t anticipate the guy would frankly admit his identity.
This indirectly told Liu Hun that this guy named Tangshan was not at all worried about letting him know his identity.
"Even though today’s incident was instigated by Xiaofei, didn’t you go a bit too far, Director Liu?" Tangshan interrogated Liu Hun in a heavy tone.
Facing Tangshan’s counter-question, a hint of disdain flashed in Liu Hun’s eyes, and he said, "The law of the jungle, I think you understand it all too well. I, Liu Hun, rarely seek trouble actively, but once others seek trouble for me, I won’t stand idly by; otherwise, everyone would think Liu Hun could be easily bullied. I just want Chairman Tan to give me an explanation, but apparently, Chairman Tan has no intention of admitting to this, so I have to handle it my way."
"Then I really want to see if Director Liu dares to kill Xiaofei." As Tangshan spoke these words, a look of disdain also flashed across his eyes.
Faced with Tangshan’s words, Liu Hun deeply gazed at the other party, then nodded to Yun Bo beside him.
Immediately, Yun Bo released his grip, and Tan Fei’s body kneeled on the ground like a dead dog, gasping for air. If Yun Bo had been slightly slower earlier, Tan Fei would likely be dead by now.
Having brushed with death once, Tan Fei no longer wanted to experience it again, so at the moment, his eyes were filled with panic as he looked at Liu Hun.
"Director Liu, what kind of resolution do you want Uncle Tan to provide?" Tangshan asked as he watched Liu Hun let go of Tan Fei, then continued to look at Liu Hun.
Tangshan’s pressure didn’t leave Liu Hun in panic; he had anticipated such an unexpected occurrence from the beginning when he came over.
"It’s simple, publicly admit to this matter, then personally apologize to the general manager of Tianhe Restaurant," Liu Hun said calmly.
"Director Liu, isn’t this a bit excessive, considering the reputation Tianhe Restaurant has now? If it’s a public apology from you, Uncle Tan’s company might be completely ruined," Tangshan asked in a heavy tone after hearing Liu Hun’s demands, frowning slightly.
"If you make a mistake, you have to pay the price, don’t you?" Liu Hun countered.
"Mistakes indeed require consequences, but Director Liu, you sometimes shouldn’t go too far. After all, with Director Liu’s current status and strength, you still can’t stir up trouble across the entire Huaihai Province. Many people may not be those Director Liu can afford to offend; I hope Director Liu can think this through," Tangshan said as a coldness flashed in his eyes.
