Zhao Guangming was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Okay, since your attitude is so good, I will give you a chance. But remember, don't mess with my son and those young people again. Otherwise..."
"Yes! Yes! Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I promise there won't be a next time!" Zhou Ran made repeated assurances.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ran's face became extremely gloomy. He didn't expect that a little student would cause such a big trouble. It seems that he has to be more careful in the future and can't be as reckless as before.
He glanced at Wang Wenli beside him and said, "Old Wang, let's forget about this matter. Send someone to give Qin Tian a gift to express our apology."
Wang Wenli responded, "Yes! Mr. Zhou." He heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that the matter had come to an end for the time being. But he also knew that Zhou Ran would never give up, and there would be a more intense contest waiting for them next.
Zhou Ran sat at his desk, deep in thought, tapping his fingers lightly on the tabletop with a frown on his face. Wang Wenli beside him also had a worried look on his face. Ever since he received Zhao Guangming's warning call last time, Zhou Ran had been in this state of deep thought.
"Mr. Zhou, what do you think we should do?" Wang Wenli asked tentatively. He knew that Zhou Ran was arrogant, and Zhao Guangming's warning was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him.
Zhou Ran raised his head, a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "Old Wang, do you think we can just let it go?"
Wang Wenli was stunned, then said cautiously: "Mr. Zhou, we can't afford to offend Zhao Guangming. I think we should restrain ourselves for the time being and wait for future opportunities..."
"Wait until later?" Zhou Ran sneered, "Do you think Zhao Guangming will let us go easily? Although he didn't take direct action this time, he has already given us a warning. If we don't restrain ourselves, I'm afraid it won't be so easy next time."
Wang Wenli nodded: "Yes, Mr. Zhou is right. But we can't just swallow our anger like this, right?"
Zhou Ran pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "Of course not. But to deal with Zhao Guangming and Qin Tian, we must use some strategies."
A sly look flashed in Wang Wenli's eyes: "Boss Zhou, I have an idea. We can..."
He leaned close to Zhou Ran's ear and whispered his plan. As Zhou Ran listened, his frown gradually relaxed, and finally he even smiled.
"Old Wang, your plan is good. Let's do as you say." Zhou Ran patted Wang Wenli on the shoulder, "I'll leave this matter to you. Make sure you do it well."
"How did you get this photo?" Qin Tian's voice trembled slightly. He knew very well how important this photo was to him. Once it fell into Zhou Ran's hands, the consequences would be disastrous.
Wang Wenli grinned smugly: "We naturally have our channels. Qin Tian, I know you have been secretly investigating Mr. Zhou. But I have to tell you that it will not do you any good. Mr. Zhou is not someone you can easily offend."
Qin Tian took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil: "Wang Wenli, what do you want?"
"It's very simple." Wang Wenli's tone suddenly became sinister. "As long as you give up investigating Mr. Zhou, leave this city, and never come back, we will pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise..."
He paused deliberately, then threatened: "Otherwise, this photo will appear in front of Mr. Zhou. I think you should know what will happen then."
Qin Tian held the photo tightly, his heart full of anger and helplessness. He knew that he was in a passive position and could not act rashly. But he would never give up investigating Zhou Ran easily.
He took a deep breath again and said slowly: "Okay, I promise you. I will give up the investigation and leave this city."
Wang Wenli showed a satisfied smile on his face: "You are sensible. But I have to remind you, don't play any tricks. Our people will keep an eye on you."
Qin Tian nodded: "I understand."
The car stopped on the side of the road, and Qin Tian got out and left without looking back. Wang Wenli looked at his back with a cold smile on his face: "Boy, you want to fight me? You are still young!"
However, Qin Tian did not really intend to give up. He knew very well that he could not succumb to Zhou Ran's threats. He decided to continue investigating secretly and find enough evidence to expose Zhou Ran's crimes.
He found Li Gangyi and Lu Wan and told them everything that happened. After hearing it, both of them expressed their willingness to help Qin Tian and jointly investigate Zhou Ran.
"Qin Tian, this is very dangerous. Are you really determined to continue?" Li Gangyi asked with some concern.
Qin Tian nodded firmly: "Yes, I must continue. I can't let Zhou Ran get away with it."
"Well, let's work together!" Li Gangyi clenched his fists, "I believe we can find evidence of Zhou Ran's guilt!"
Lu Wan also expressed her support: "Brother, I will help you. Let's send Zhou Ran to prison together!"
After discussing, the three decided to divide the work. Qin Tian was responsible for investigating Zhou Ran's background and whereabouts, Li Gangyi was responsible for contacting reliable people to assist them, and Lu Wan was responsible for collecting information and clues about Zhou Ran on the Internet.
However, their actions did not escape Zhou Ran's notice. Soon, Zhou Ran learned that Qin Tian had not really given up the investigation. He angrily found Wang Wenli and said, "Didn't you say that Qin Tian had given up? Why is he still investigating secretly?"
Wang Wenli was so scared that he trembled all over: "Boss Zhou, I... I don't know. I have threatened him according to your instructions, and he agreed to give up. Maybe he agreed on the surface, but he is still playing tricks in secret."
Zhou Ran glared at him fiercely: "Useless! You can't even handle such a small matter! Send someone to keep a close eye on Qin Tian and his men immediately. I want to know what they are up to!"
Wang Wenli quickly agreed: "Yes! Yes! Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, I will definitely get it done."
A secret war quietly began. Qin Tian and his team carefully investigated, fearing that they would be discovered by Zhou Ran's men. Zhou Ran sent a large number of his men to search for their traces.
Both sides are nervously waiting for the opportunity to strike...
Lu Wan clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with anger. She glared at Zhou Wenli in front of her: "Why did you do this? I have never offended you!"
Zhou Wenli sneered, "Haha, do you think I will tell you the reason? I just want you to know that anyone who offends our Zhou family will never have a good ending."
Lu Wan was so angry that she was shaking all over: "You are going too far! I don't believe you would do such a thing!" "Don't believe it? All right." Zhou Wenli clapped his hands, "Look at what this is?"
Following his gesture, several burly men came over. They were holding sticks and knives, and their eyes revealed ferocity and cruelty. Lu Wan knew at a glance that they were here to cause trouble.
"What...what do you want to do?" Lu Wan asked in horror.
Zhou Wenli sneered, "What? Of course, we are teaching you a lesson! You dare to go against us, and you still want to live?"
Lu Wan was furious, but she also knew that she couldn't confront him head-on. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "I don't want to cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of it either. If you have any dissatisfaction or conflict, please resolve it through legal means."
Zhou Wenli laughed loudly: "Legal means? Do you think we will give you this opportunity?" He waved the sticks and knives in his hands, "If you don't give us an explanation today, don't even think about leaving alive!"
Lu Wan's face turned pale, but she went forward without flinching. She knew she had to protect herself and her sister. She dodged Zhou Wenli's attacks while looking for opportunities to fight back. However, her strength was limited after all, and she was soon knocked to the ground.
At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed into the crowd. He pulled Lu Wan behind him and then punched Zhou Wenli. Zhou Wenli was hit back by the punch, but he quickly reacted and slapped the figure with his backhand. The figure dodged swiftly, and Lu Wan took the opportunity to escape.
"Thank you for saving me." Lu Wan looked at the figure gratefully, "But you are injured. We must leave here as soon as possible."
The figure nodded: "I know. But I must find evidence to prove Zhou Ran's crime." His voice was low and firm, "I can't let justice be covered by evil!"
Hearing those words, Lu Wan inexplicably felt touched and trusted. She was sure that this man must be a kind-hearted person. Although she didn't know his identity, she was determined to be more cautious in the future to avoid causing him unnecessary trouble and danger. In the dim alley, Zhou Wenli showed a cold smile on his face. His eyes were fixed on Lu Wan, and his words revealed a threat: "Little girl, listen carefully, don't investigate Zhou Ran's affairs anymore. Otherwise, I won't be as polite as I am now."
Lu Wan met his gaze without fear: "Zhou Wenli, your threats have no effect on me. I will never give up. I must expose Zhou Ran's crimes and make him receive the punishment he deserves!"
Zhou Wenli snorted disdainfully: "Humph, do you think you are a big shot? Want to go against our Zhou family? You are digging your own grave!"
Lu Wan gritted her teeth and showed a firm determination: "Even if the road ahead is a dead end, I will not hesitate. I can't tolerate people like Zhou Ran continuing to harm society!"
"Endangering society?" Zhou Wenli seemed to be listening to a huge joke. "Do you really think you can represent justice? This world is realistic and cruel. You have no power and influence, and you can't change anything!"
Anger burned in Lu Wan's heart, but she knew that what Zhou Wenli said was true. She tried to calm herself down: "Zhou Wenli, I really don't have power. But I believe that justice will eventually triumph over evil. As long as someone dares to reveal the truth, more people will join us."
Zhou Wenli's eyes flashed with viciousness: "Do you think anyone will respond to you? Can you shake the foundation of our Zhou family? Don't be wishful thinking!" He paused and emphasized his tone, "I'll give you one last chance. Give up the investigation of Zhou Ran, otherwise..."
"What else?" Lu Wan showed no sign of weakness. "Do you think your threats can scare me? Not only will I continue investigating, I will also find more evidence to reveal the truth!"
Zhou Wenli was shocked by Lu Wan's determination. He didn't expect this little girl to be so determined. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Since you are so stubborn, I will help you. But you must remember that there are many people in this world who rely on our Zhou family to survive. If you dare to touch us, I will make you regret it!"
Lu Wan remained calm: "Zhou Wenli, your threats are useless to me. I am ready. Even if it costs me my life, I will not give up. As long as someone dares to stand up, Zhou Ran will definitely be punished by law!"
Zhou Wenli looked at Lu Wan's determined eyes and felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he quickly regained his composure: "There are some things that you can never change!" After saying that, he turned around and disappeared into the dim alley.
At this moment, Qin Tian held his phone tightly, his heart burning with anger. He couldn't stand knowing that his sister was threatened. He forced himself to calm down, knowing that the most important thing at the moment was to find Zhou Ran and make him pay the price. He called Zhou Ran.
The call was quickly connected, and Zhou Ran's voice came: "Qin Tian? How do you have my phone number? What's the matter?"
Qin Tian's voice was as cold as ice: "Zhou Ran, it's time to settle the accounts between us. You threatened my sister, I must settle this account with you."
Zhou Ran chuckled: "Oh? You said I threatened your sister? Do you have any evidence?"
Qin Tian was furious: "My sister told me this herself, how could this be false?"
Zhou Ran disagreed: "So what if he said it himself? Who can prove that I did it? Don't frame others casually."
Qin Tian became even more angry: "Zhou Ran, do you think you can get away with it? I will never let you go! I will find evidence and make you pay the price!"
Zhou Ran burst into laughter: "Qin Tian, who do you think you are? Can you compete with me? You are courting death!"
Qin Tian did not back down: "Even if the road ahead is a dead end, I will go all the way. I can't let my sister be humiliated in vain. Zhou Ran, our competition has just begun, I will let you know what justice is!"
Zhou Ran's laughter stopped abruptly, and his voice turned cold: "Since you want to die, then I will grant your wish. But you have to understand that there are many things in this world that you cannot change. Do you think you can expose me? Shake my position? Don't dream!"
Qin Tian clenched his fists and said firmly, "Zhou Ran, your threats have no effect on me. I am ready and will never give up even if I die. As long as someone dares to stand up, you will definitely be punished by the law!"
Zhou Ran was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Since you are so confident, I will wait and see. But I want to remind you that there are many things in this world that you can't imagine. Do you think you have mastered everything? Are you sure of victory? You are totally wrong!"
Qin Tian sneered: "Really? Then let's wait and see. Zhou Ran, just wait and see!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone, leaving Zhou Ran there in a daze.
Zhou Ran didn't expect that Qin Tian would dare to challenge his authority in this way, but he also knew that Qin Tian was not an ordinary person and he had to deal with him carefully.
The contest became increasingly intense, with both sides waiting for the right moment to strike.
Qin Tian's eyes revealed firmness and determination. He would never back down because of Zhou Ran's threats. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Zhou Ran, do you think your threats can make me surrender? You are totally wrong! I will never back down because of a few words from you!"
