Chapter 280: Chapter 280 Zhao Ding’s Threat

Chen Dashan was startled. With a serious expression, he said, "Do we still need to meet now? Whatever needs to be said can be done over the phone."

Having already fallen out with the Zhao family, there was no point in keeping up pretenses.

At this moment, Zhao Qiqiang and his family probably wanted to eat him alive.

"Hehe... it’s like this. Some matters between you young folks, I heard about you from Qiqiang a few years ago. So, let’s do this: you pick the time and place," Zhao Ding said in a chatty tone.

This old fox, making it to the top position in the power department, could squash ninety-nine percent of people with his patience alone.

Chen Dashan thought for a moment and said, "Then let’s meet at 11 a.m. tomorrow, at the Furong Restaurant."

After Chen Dashan finished speaking, they both hung up.

...

The next morning, Chen Dashan drove alone to the Furong Restaurant.

When he pushed open the door to the private room, the bright lights revealed a middle-aged man with a calm demeanor, wearing a simple dark blue shirt, sitting on the sofa reading a book. Wearing glasses, the man looked quite scholarly.

Hearing the noise, Zhao Ding turned his head. Seeing someone come in, he looked at Chen Dashan and smiled, "Hello, you must be Chen Dashan?"

As he spoke, Zhao Ding closed the book and stood up from the sofa, extending his right hand for a handshake with Chen Dashan.

Looking at the hand extended in mid-air.

Chen Dashan smiled, walked past Zhao Ding, and sat grandly on the sofa, saying, "Director Zhao, just say what you want."

This Zhao Ding was indeed extraordinary. If Zhao Qiqiang had even a tenth of his father’s skills, the Zhao family’s future would be limitless.

But this old fox, Chen Dashan already guessed what he was up to.

Chen Dashan didn’t give him any face and publicly embarrassed him. Zhao Ding’s lips curled into a cold smile, but after a moment, he returned to normal as if nothing had happened. He sat down in the chair opposite Chen Dashan and said, "You must have heard about me from Qiqiang. In Furong County, I don’t have much power, but I’ve been diligent for the people of Furong County for many years, and they still give me some respect."

"I know about the conflict between you and Qiqiang. Who doesn’t make mistakes when they’re young? You haven’t seen Qiqiang these days; he’s in the detention center, living worse than death, unable to get timely treatment. I’m afraid he won’t last long..."

"Director Zhao, I don’t like to beat around the bush. Just say what you have to say,"

Chen Dashan interrupted with a frown. He had no interest in hearing about Zhao Qiqiang’s suffering.

The worse Zhao Qiqiang suffered, the happier Chen Dashan was.

Zhao Ding was momentarily stunned. Seeing how determined Chen Dashan was to let his son rot in jail, he suppressed his emotions and continued, "I mean, Qiqiang did wrong, but you intentionally harmed him, almost with an intent to kill, ruining his descendants. That’s already a significant cost. We, the Zhao family, won’t pursue any further so long as you sign a written agreement. I guarantee you endless benefits in Furong County in the future."

"Uncle also knows you’re a capable kid, doing well in business. With my support, your future will be much better. I hope you consider it carefully."

Chen Dashan sneered.

Zhao Ding’s intentions were just as he had guessed. Zhao Qiqiang was now in the public spotlight, and if he dropped the charges, neither Zhao Qiqiang nor the Zhao family would face any consequences.

"If that’s all you have to say, I’m sorry, I have other matters to attend to. I’ll be leaving now."

Seeing Chen Dashan turn to leave, Zhao Ding’s anger surged. He quickly stood up and called out to Chen Dashan’s back, "Wait!"

"You have to agree, whether you want to or not. If you dare walk out of this room today, Chen Dashan, your business will be over!"

Threatening him?

Chen Dashan sneered. He knew exactly what the Zhao family was thinking. If he let them off this time, it would be his deathbed next time. With this in mind, Chen Dashan didn’t turn back and left the room straightaway.

Seeing Chen Dashan shut the door.

Zhao Ding’s scholarly face twisted in rage. "Bang!" A loud crash.

Zhao Ding pushed the teacup and teapot off the table, his face flushed with anger. Chen Dashan had given him no face, so he couldn’t be blamed for being rude.

"Creak!" The door to the private room was pushed open.

A teenage girl, a waitress, looked at Zhao Ding in panic, not knowing whether to enter or leave.

"Hehe... I accidentally broke the teacup. Please clean it up!" Zhao Ding said with a smile, but his face turned icy blue as he picked up his briefcase from the sofa and left the room.

...

"You’re looking for Chen Dashan now? Aren’t you asking for trouble?" Tao Chengyu said helplessly, looking at his daughter.

Tao Lingbo wore a dungaree dress with a plain white T-shirt underneath and had her hair in a bun. She looked fresh and adorable. Seeing her father so helpless, she puckered her lips and smiled, "What’s the problem?"

"Most of our Tao family’s business is in Tanzhou City. No matter how powerful the Zhao family is in Furong County, they can’t affect us."

"Moreover, Chen Dashan is a very mysterious person. Dad, trust me on this!"

After speaking, Tao Lingbo stepped out of the car. Tao Chengyu, sitting in the passenger seat, could only shake his head helplessly. His daughter had grown up, and there was nothing he could do to control her.

He could only roll down the window and shout towards Tao Lingbo’s back, "Make sure you attend tomorrow’s jewelry raw stone exchange. Everything depends on you."

"Don’t worry!"

Tao Lingbo confidently agreed, said goodbye to Tao Chengyu, and headed to the address Chen Dashan had given her.

A few minutes later.

Chen Dashan, who was taking a nap, was woken up by a knock on the door. Zhou Hui stood outside, calling, "Dashan?"

"Dashan, Miss Tao is here to see you. Is it convenient for her to come in?"

Chen Dashan quickly got up. He usually napped shirtless. Quickly dressing, he said, "Convenient, come in."

Outside, Zhou Hui was chatting and laughing with Tao Lingbo.

Opening the door, Tao Lingbo saw the muscular Chen Dashan hurrying to put on clothes. Her eyes widened, staring intently, and her mouth seemed to have a shiny droplet.

Zhou Hui smiled and said, "You two talk. I’ll go buy some groceries. Miss Tao, stay for dinner tonight."

Zhou Hui said, then turned and went downstairs.

Tao Lingbo’s eyes darted away, her face blushing. She looked at Chen Dashan and sheepishly smiled, "Um, my back hurts. Last time, Brother Dashan helped me massage it. It worked very well, so..."

"We’re partners, no need to be polite!" Chen Dashan said with a smile, quickly tossing the dirty clothes on the bed aside. His speed made Tao Lingbo cover her mouth and laugh.

"Bang!" Tao Lingbo casually shut the door.

Instantly, they were in a small enclosed space. The atmosphere grew ambiguous. Chen Dashan looked at the petite girl, smiling, "Take off your clothes then!"
