Ch. 6: Punishment & Extortion

Chen Fan didn't even spare Zhou Tianhao a glance. He was absorbed in Jiang Churan's funny and cute thoughts.

On the other hand, Zhou Tianhao lost his patience when he saw Chen Fan had ignored him. He finally pulled the trigger of his gun.

BANG!

A loud gunshot could be heard through the room. The sound made the red-haired hostess scream and close her eyes in fright.

Jiang Churan also flinched in Chen Fan's arms; she shut her eyes tightly and bit her bottom lip to stifle her scream. Even though she was facing her death, she was less frightened because of Chen Fan.

Jiang Churan waited for pain and then her death to come, but it never came. In addition, she heard Zhou Tianhao's gasp of incredulity before she heard more gunshots before the sounds stopped.

Even though Zhou Tianhao had shot her and Chen Fan multiple times, Jiang Churan was confused why they were still alright. She was sure that they were unharmed and still alive.

'Did Zhou Tianhao miss his shots?' Jiang Churan thought, after which she timidly opened her eyes and took a glance.

Jiang Churan was dumbfounded when she saw several bullets floating in the air in front of Chen Fan's outstretched hand. Her mind failed to formulate a logical explanation for this unbelievable scene.

"Y-you! That… This is…" Zhou Tianhao said while looking at the floating bullets and Chen Fan's amused face alternately. Then, he looked scared, and his hand that held the gun trembled. A certain realization had struck Zhou Tianhao. 'Oh, crap! I have offended a mysterious expert that can stop bullets with some superpowers! I'm doomed!'

Looks like Zhou Tianhao finally realized how fucked he was.

Jiang Churan finally returned to her senses.

'What was that? What did Chen Fan do? How could he do that? Does this mean superpowers are real? Who is Chen Fan really? What is going on? I don't understand!' Jiang Churan thought while looking at the floating bullets and Chen Fan's handsome face alternately.

Jiang Churan felt that Chen Fan became so mysterious. She also realized that Chen Fan had an extraordinary background beyond what she knew from her mother's story about him and his family.

The red-haired hostess had returned to her senses as well. Just like Jiang Churan, she'd concluded that Chen Fan wasn't ordinary. In addition, she couldn't help but envy Jiang Churan's for her luck to have an extraordinary sweetheart. She would do anything to have that kind of a man.

Nevertheless, Zhou Tianhao threw away his gun, kneeled on the floor, and started begging. "Sir! Lord! This Little Zhou has realized his mistake! This little one couldn't see Mt. Tai in front of him! Please spare this little one's life!"

Jiang Churan and the red-haired host were surprised when Zhou Tianhao kneeled and begged pathetically in front of Chen Fan, but after seeing Chen Fan's mysterious capability, they knew that Zhou Tianhao was doomed. He could only beg pathetically to be spared from certain death.

"I'm not the one who should accept your apology! You have to apologize to my Ranran," Chen Fan replied bluntly.

Since Chen Fan knew that Jiang Churan had realized her feelings for him, he'd decided to be straightforward and claimed her openly.

When Jiang Churan heard Chen Fan say that she was his, she blushed and felt happy. 'It looks like my feelings aren't one-sided.'

Zhou Tianhao turned to Jiang Churan and then kneeled to her. "Right! Of course! Miss Ran—"

"That's Lady Jiang for you, you worm!" Chen Fan interrupted Zhou Tianhao's words, making the man jump in fright.

However, he quickly corrected himself. "No, calling you a worm is an insult to all worms. At least, they are useful for the soil. You, on the other hand, are a waste of space and resources. You're nothing but a shitstain that should be cleaned up as soon as possible!"

Jiang Churan and the red-haired hostess were speechless by Chen Fan's words. On the other hand, Zhou Tianhao trembled, feeling so ashamed and frustrated due to the humiliation yet helpless to do anything.

"What are you waiting for, you shitstain?! Aren't you going to apologize to my Ranran?" Chen Fan barked.

"Yes! Understood, sir! Lady Jiang, this little one—"

"Hah?" Chen Fan interrupted Zhou Tianhao with a glare.

"Understood! Understood! This little shitstain has wronged you! Please forgive this little shitstain!"

Although Jiang Churan was amused by the groveling Zhou Tianhao, she couldn't help but feel troubled after receiving Zhou Tianhao's apology. She didn't know what to do, so she turned to Chen Fan.

Knowing that Jiang Churan didn't know how to take in all of this, Chen Fan decided to speak on her behalf. "The body of a maiden is her most precious thing! Yet, you dared touch her inappropriately! You have to be punished! Those arms that you used to touch her inappropriately, you won't have a problem having them in a cast for a while right?"

"Huh? No, I don't mind! Just don't kill me, please!" Zhao Tianhao nodded vigorously with a bitter face.

Then, the sound of bone snapping echoed in the room. Following that, Zhou Tianhao screamed in agony.

The red-haired hostess and Jiang Churan flinched when they heard Zhou Tianhao's screech and saw his arms bent in wrong angles. They were also shocked because Chen Fan could break Zhou Tianhao's arms from afar.

"Be grateful, you shitstain! I haven't killed you because my Ranran's purity is still intact, but you need to show your sincerity!"

"Yes! Of course, this little shitstain shall compensate Lady Jiang!" Zhou Tianhao nodded furiously with a sweaty, pained face.

"Twenty million Yuan! You have to set up two credit cards with ten million Yuan each!"

The red-haired hostess and Jiang Churan were dumbfounded when they saw the daylight robbery before them.

Today, they had been surprised too many times, so it seems. And yet, they couldn't build resistance fast enough to keep up with this madness.

"Chen Fan, don't you think that it's too much?" Jiang Churan asked timidly after returning to her senses.

Although Jiang Churan hated Zhou Tianhao for what he had done and planned to do to her, she couldn't help but feel that this man was too pitiful now.

Chen Fan looked at Jiang Churan gently, making her feel shy. "My Ranran is so kind," Chen Fan started talking while caressing Jiang Churan's cheek, making her blush get darker.

"However, it is a small amount for him." He suddenly paused, turned to Zhou Tianhao, and barked at him with a terrifying glare. "Right?!"

"Yes, sir! I can prepare it! Twenty million is a cheap price to spare my life!" Zhou Tianhao nodded vigorously.

"See." Chen Fan turned to Jiang Churan and gave her a charming grin.

Jiang Churan could only nod with a red face. She was inwardly speechless.

Chen Fan turned his attention to Zhou Tianhao again. "Bring them to the villa on the top of Yunwu mountain tomorrow! You can find me there since that property has become mine!"

Again, Chen Fan's outrageous statement shocked Jiang Churan, the red-haired hostess, and Zhou Tianhao.

Jiang Churan was shocked because she knew that the properties on the Yunwu mountain were the most expensive in Chuzhou City. Not even her wealthiest classmates had property in the area, but Chen Fan had the one on the top! It was the most expensive property!

The red-haired hostess was shocked for the same reason Jiang Churan had. But, Zhou Tianhao was shocked for a different matter entirely.

The backer of Zhou Tianhao was someone from the Wei Family, so he knew that the property Chen Fan mentioned once belonged to the Wei Family but was given to someone who the Wei Family didn't want to offend and wanted to curry some favor from this person. This made Zhao Tianhao realize something.

'Don't tell me, this person is the one behind the fortune that Brother Qi obtained and the rising of the Wei Family?! Oh, no! I'm beyond doomed!'

In truth, Zhou Tianhao had had a rebellious thought to ask Xiao Qi's — well, he is Wei Qi after being adopted now — help to get revenge, and knowing this matter, Chen Fan decided to tell him that to stop his rebellious thought and to push him to the pit of hopelessness and despair.

"Come to my place tomorrow. I'll wait. If you never come, I'll hunt you down, and believe me that I will get you and you won't like what will happen after I get you."

Zhou Tianhao could only nod wordlessly with a pale face. His expression was filled with deep regret, helplessness, and despair.

After that, Chen Fan turned to Jiang Churan, who'd been listening to this whole time.

"Ranran, let's leave this place. We'll go somewhere quiet and nice for you to recover from what happened, okay?"

Jiang Churan nodded silently and obediently.

"All right. Hold on tightly. I'll teleport us out of this place."

"Huh? What—"

Jiang Churan was taken aback by Chen Fan's words and started speaking but she was interrupted when Chen Fan suddenly teleported them out, leaving behind the shell-shocked red-haired hostess and the frightened and despairing Zhou Tianhao.
