Mr. Zhou's words shocked Zhao Wenhao. How could he watch his son do such a thing? "How could you be so cruel as to let Zhou Ran do such a thing?" Zhao Wenhao asked.

Mr. Zhou was speechless for a moment. He knew that what Zhao Wenhao said was true, and he also understood that as a father, he had an obligation to discipline his son. But he could not express the pain and helplessness in his heart.

"Wenhao, listen to me." Mr. Zhou tried to defend himself. "Zhou Ran has been spoiled since he was a child, and his personality has become arrogant and domineering. I have tried to discipline him, but the effect is not obvious. I know he did something wrong, but I really tried my best."

Zhao Wenhao looked into Mr. Zhou's eyes, which were full of fatigue and helplessness. He believed that Mr. Zhou was telling the truth, but he could not accept such an explanation. In his opinion, a father should take the responsibility of disciplining his children.

"Uncle Zhou, I hope you can have another good talk with Zhou Ran." Zhao Wenhao said firmly, "Let him know that his behavior is wrong and he must bear the consequences. If it is inconvenient for you, I can go and talk to him."

President Zhou looked at Zhao Wenhao's determined and persistent eyes, and his heart was touched. Perhaps Zhao Wenhao was right, as a father, he should try to discipline his son again.

"Okay, Wenhao." Mr. Zhou finally nodded, "I'll go talk to Zhou Ran, but I can't guarantee that he will listen to me."

Zhao Wenhao breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Uncle Zhou. I believe that as long as you are willing to try, there will be results."

After leaving Mr. Zhou's company, Zhao Wenhao felt both hopeful and uneasy. He hoped that Mr. Zhou could persuade Zhou Ran to give up revenge, but he was also worried that everything would not go as he wished.

When they returned to the residence arranged by Qin Tian, ​​the classmates surrounded Zhao Wenhao when they saw him coming back.

"Wenhao, you're back! Have you met Mr. Zhou?" a classmate asked anxiously.

Zhao Wenhao nodded: "Yes, I told him everything, and he promised me that he would go talk to Zhou Ran."

The students all breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. They knew that if Mr. Zhou could step forward, there might be a chance for this matter to turn around.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door. Then, the door was kicked open and a group of men in black rushed in.

"Are you the ones who dare to go against Young Master Zhou?" a man in black asked viciously.

Zhao Wenhao and his classmates immediately stood up vigilantly, they knew that these people were sent by Zhou Ran.

"We just want justice for the victims and we are not against anyone," Zhao Wenhao responded calmly.

"Humph, fairness?" The man in black sneered, "In front of Young Master Zhou, your fairness is a joke. If you know what's good for you, get out of Fenglan City right away, or don't blame us for being rude."

After saying that, the man in black waved his hand, and the younger brothers behind him immediately surrounded him. Zhao Wenhao and his classmates stood back to back, ready to deal with the upcoming conflict.

At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps outside the door. Then, a loud voice rang out: "Stop!"

The man in black and his younger brothers turned their heads to look, and saw Mr. Zhou and several bodyguards walking in. When he saw the scene in the room, his face suddenly darkened.

"What are you doing?" Mr. Zhou shouted sternly, "Who told you to come here to cause trouble?"

The men in black were obviously a little flustered when they saw President Zhou. They didn't expect President Zhou to show up in person.

"Mr. Zhou... Mr. Zhou, we..." the man in black explained stutteringly, "We came here on the orders of Mr. Zhou..."

"Shut up!" President Zhou shouted angrily, "Go back and tell Zhou Ran that I said so, and ask him to stop all revenge actions immediately. If he dares to do it again, don't blame me for being rude."

The black-clad man and his subordinates were frightened by Mr. Zhou's aura and left in disgrace. Zhao Wenhao and his classmates breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this. They knew that they were able to escape danger this time thanks to Mr. Zhou's timely appearance.

President Zhou walked up to Zhao Wenhao and asked gently, "Wenhao, are you okay? Did they hurt you?"

Zhao Wenhao shook his head: "I'm fine, thank you Uncle Zhou."

Mr. Zhou sighed: "Wenhao, I know Zhou Ran has done a lot of wrong things and has caused a lot of trouble for you and your classmates. As a father, I have the responsibility to discipline him. Don't worry, I will make him give you an explanation."

Zhao Wenhao looked into Mr. Zhou's eyes and found that his eyes were full of determination. He knew that Mr. Zhou really intended to discipline Zhou Ran this time. So he nodded: "I believe you, Uncle Zhou."

Mr. Zhou patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, don't worry. I will take care of this matter." After saying that, he turned and left the room.

Zhou Ran was furious when he learned that his father had intervened in the matter. He originally planned to continue to retaliate against Zhao Wenhao and the others, but due to his father's majesty and power, he had to give up temporarily.

"Dad, why are you helping them?" Zhou Ran walked into Mr. Zhou's office angrily and asked.

Mr. Zhou glanced at him and said coldly, "Because you did something wrong, you must bear the consequences."

Zhou Ran was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "What did I do wrong? I'm just protecting my own interests!"

"Protecting your own interests?" President Zhou sneered, "Do you think I don't know what you've done? Bullying classmates, collecting protection money, and even engaging in illegal transactions. Are these your interests?"

Zhou Ran was speechless by his father's words. He did do a lot of wrong things, but he always thought his father would protect him, and he didn't expect his father to be so angry.

"Zhou Ran, let me tell you." Mr. Zhou's voice suddenly became stern. "I have achieved what I have today not by oppressing or exploiting others, but by honesty and cooperation. Do you think what you did can make me happy? On the contrary, it only makes me disappointed and sad."

Zhou Ran was touched when he heard his father's words. He had lived under his father's shadow since he was a child, and had always wanted to surpass his father and prove himself. But the way he chose was wrong.

"Dad, I..." Zhou Ran wanted to say something, but found that he had nothing to say.

Mr. Zhou looked at him and sighed: "Zhou Ran, you are grown up now and have your own ideas and practices. But you have to understand that there must be bottom lines and principles in doing things."

"I can't keep an eye on you all the time, but you have to understand that no matter what you do, you must be true to your conscience and don't cross the moral bottom line. If you dare to mess around again, don't blame me for turning against you." After listening to his father's words, Zhou Ran was silent for a long time, and finally looked up and responded, "Dad, I understand, I will remember it." After that, he turned and left the office.

In the days that followed, Zhou Ran did not attack Zhao Wenhao and his classmates again. Zhao Wenhao and his classmates breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew that this was only a temporary calm and the struggle was far from over.

Zhao Wenhao decided to continue collecting evidence of Zhou Ran's crimes in preparation for a future confrontation. He firmly believed that as long as he persisted, he would be able to completely expose Zhou Ran's true face one day.

After a few days, Zhou Ran felt that the time had come. He thought he had figured out his father's surveillance methods and could evade them skillfully. So he secretly contacted Liu Yanjiu, the man who had colluded with him but was now abandoned by him because of his conspiracy.

"Liu Yanjiu, I have something for you to do." Zhou Ran said coldly on the phone. When Liu Yanjiu heard it was Zhou Ran, he felt nervous, knowing that it was not a good thing, but he did not dare to refuse.

"Mr. Zhou, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will try my best." Liu Yanjiu said cautiously.

Zhou Ran sneered: "I want you to catch Sun Tingting, you should know who she is, right?"

Liu Yanjiu's heart trembled. He knew that Sun Tingting was the girl that Zhao Wenhao and his friends had been protecting. He also understood that arresting Sun Tingting would mean becoming a complete enemy of Zhao Wenhao and his friends.

"Mr. Zhou, this... this is not good, right?" Liu Yanjiu stuttered, "Zhao Wenhao and the others have Qin Tian and Fang Shu to help them now. If we do this, will it be..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhou Ran interrupted him, "I just want you to catch Sun Tingting, don't worry about other things. As long as you succeed, I will let bygones be bygones."

When Liu Yanjiu heard this, he felt a little relieved. He knew that what Zhou Ran said was true. As long as he caught Sun Tingting, he could get rid of Zhou Ran's pursuit. So he gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, I'll go catch Sun Tingting." Liu Yanjiu said.

Zhou Ran nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, remember, be careful and don't let my father find out."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yanjiu started to act. He found some men and secretly followed Sun Tingting. After some twists and turns, he finally found her in a remote place.

Sun Tingting turned pale with fear when she saw Liu Yanjiu and the others. She knew she couldn't escape, so she could only hope that Zhao Wenhao and the others could come to rescue her in time.

At this moment, Zhou Ran also appeared. He looked at the captured Sun Tingting with a smug smile on his face.

"Liu Yanjiu, you did a good job." Zhou Ran said, "Now, you can go."

When Liu Yanjiu heard this, he was delighted, thinking that he could really get rid of Zhou Ran. But before he could turn around, Zhou Ran said, "Wait, did I say I let you go?"

Liu Yanjiu was startled and turned to look at Zhou Ran: "Mr. Zhou, you... you didn't say..."

"I said I would spare you if I caught Sun Tingting, but I've changed my mind now." Zhou Ran looked at him coldly, "I think it's better for you to keep your mouth shut forever."

Liu Yanjiu was instantly scared out of his wits: "Zhou Ran! You said you would spare me if you arrested Sun Tingting!" He shouted loudly, his voice filled with fear and despair.

But Zhou Ran turned a deaf ear to his pleas for mercy and looked at him coldly, as if he were looking at a dead person.

Liu Yanjiu then realized that he had been completely fooled by Zhou Ran. He thought that catching Sun Tingting would bring him safety, but he didn't expect Zhou Ran to suddenly change his mind.

"Zhou Ran, you can't do this!" Liu Yanjiu struggled, trying to escape from this terrible situation. "I have done so many things for you, how can you cross the river and destroy the bridge?"

Zhou Ran sneered and approached Liu Yanjiu step by step: "Destroy the bridge after crossing the river? You are wrong, Liu Yanjiu. I have never regarded you as a bridge, you are just a chess piece. Now that you are useless, of course I have to throw you away."

Liu Yanjiu looked at Zhou Ran in despair, knowing that his end was coming. But he was unwilling to give up and wanted to struggle.

"Zhou Ran, please let me go." Liu Yanjiu begged, "I promise I will never appear in front of you again. I will stay away from you."

Zhou Ran shook his head: "Liu Yanjiu, you are too naive. Do you think I will believe your promise? I can only feel at ease if someone like you dies."

After saying that, Zhou Ran signaled to his men. They immediately surrounded Liu Yanjiu and held him tightly. Liu Yanjiu struggled, but to no avail. He knew he was finished.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the distance. Then, several cars came speeding and stopped in front of Zhou Ran and others. The car doors opened, and Zhao Wenhao, Qin Tian and others jumped out of the car.

"Zhou Ran, let Sun Tingting go!" Zhao Wenhao shouted loudly.

Zhou Ran's face changed slightly when he saw Zhao Wenhao and the others. But he quickly calmed down and looked at Zhao Wenhao with a sneer.

"Zhao Wenhao, do you think you can save her in time?" Zhou Ran said, "None of you can leave today!"

After that, he gave his men an order: "Catch them!"

The men immediately rushed towards Zhao Wenhao and the others. The two sides soon started fighting. Zhao Wenhao, Qin Tian and the others fought hard, but Zhou Ran had more men and they were gradually defeated.

Zhou Ran looked at this scene and smiled triumphantly. He thought he could finally get rid of Zhao Wenhao and others. However, at this moment, sirens sounded in the distance. Then, several police cars came speeding and stopped beside the battlefield.

After the police got off the car, they quickly controlled Zhou Ran's men and rescued Zhao Wenhao and others. Zhou Ran's face turned pale when he saw this scene. He knew that he was really finished this time.

The police walked up to Zhou Ran and looked at him coldly: "Zhou Ran, you are suspected of multiple violations of law. You are now formally arrested!"

After that, the police took out handcuffs and handcuffed Zhou Ran. When Zhou Ran was taken to the police car, he looked at Zhao Wenhao and others in disbelief, as if he didn't understand why he failed.

Zhao Wenhao walked up to Sun Tingting and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Sun Tingting shook her head and said softly, "I'm fine, thanks to you for coming to save me in time." After that, she turned her eyes to the direction where Zhou Ran was taken to the police car and sighed, "I never thought that Zhou Ran would become like this."

Zhao Wenhao patted her shoulder gently and comforted her, "Don't think too much, he has already received the punishment he deserves." Then, he turned to look at Qin Tian and others, "It's time for us to go back."

Everyone nodded and left the place where fierce conflict had taken place. They all knew that although Zhou Ran was arrested, the struggle was not completely over and there were more challenges waiting for them in the future.

However, the story did not go as described before. At that critical moment, Zhou Ran was not taken away by the police, and the plot took a dramatic turn.

Just when Zhou Ran was about to attack Liu Yanjiu, his cell phone suddenly rang. The ringtone was particularly harsh in the tense atmosphere. Zhou Ran impatiently took out his cell phone, but after seeing the caller ID, he suddenly changed his mind.

"Hello, Dad." Zhou Ran answered the phone with a hint of uneasiness in his tone.

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Zhou's voice was calm and majestic: "Zhou Ran, where are you now? I want to see you soon."

Zhou Ran was shocked. He didn't expect his father to call at this time. He glanced at Liu Yanjiu and Sun Tingting who were controlled, and made a quick decision. (End of this chapter)
