On the note, there was a line of text.
Red Dust Hotel, Room 305. Tonight, I'll be waiting for you.
Chen Fan was stunned when he saw this. What did it mean?
He hurriedly called Li Yuanyuan, but she didn't answer.
However, a WeChat message soon arrived on Chen Fan's phone.
"Little Fan, I really like you. And this is also Sister Hong's intention."
Chen Fan frowned, immediately understanding the implication.
Without hesitation, he replied with a message.
"Yuanyuan, we just met today. Even if you like me and plan to date me, we need time to get to know each other slowly, and both parties must be willing and in love."
"As for Sister Hong, I understand her intention. So, please convey a message to her."
Chen Fan replied on WeChat: "For a long-term cooperation, it relies on sincere and fair collaboration. Trying to secure it with a woman's body is simply impossible!"
"Alright, you should rest early. I'm going to reunite with my family!"
After saying this, Chen Fan sent the message without hesitation, then happily picked up the things on the ground and walked into his home.
...
"Dad, Little Ran, I'm back!"
When Chen Fan walked into the house with a large pile of things, Chen Dongshan and Chen Ran, who were inside, were taken aback.
"Little Fan, what's all this?"
Chen Dongshan came out with a cane, seeing Chen Fan bringing in so many things.
There were all kinds of food, rice, oil, and salt—everything.
There were also several boxes placed at the door behind him.
"Dad, I bought all of this with my own money."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Little Ran, help me move these inside."
Chen Dongshan looked at those things, his expression suddenly turning tense: "Little Fan, you just got out, don't do anything foolish!"
Chen Fan knew his father misunderstood and explained with a smile: "Dad, don't worry. I earned this money legally. The medicine I brewed today caught the eye of a big boss, and he bought it all."
"Look, I sold it for a full 30,000 yuan!"
Chen Fan didn't dare to tell the truth. If he said he sold it for 300,000 and received a 3 million deposit, it might scare his father.
"Little Fan, are you telling the truth?" Chen Dongshan still found it unbelievable.
Chen Fan nodded with a smile: "Dad, it's true. It's called health tonic. People in the city are very keen on maintaining their health now."
Chen Fan took out 30,000 yuan and handed it to Chen Dongshan: "Dad, keep this money safe."
Chen Dongshan held the three bundles of hundred-yuan bills excitedly, but he still sighed and pushed them back to Chen Fan.
"Better keep it to pay off the debt. Those people will come to collect it again."
Chen Fan said with a smile: "Dad, you don't need to worry about the debt. The big boss who bought my medicine put in a word, and those debt collectors won't come anymore."
"As for the money we owe them, we can deduct it from the money we make from selling the medicine in the future!"
Chen Fan pushed the money back again: "This money is for Little Ran's tuition!"
Chen Ran, who was silently helping Chen Fan move things, suddenly raised her head when she heard this.
"Brother, can I really... continue to go to school?" Chen Ran asked, her voice trembling with disbelief.
Chen Fan walked over and, as he used to, habitually ruffled her hair.
"Little Ran, you're so good at studying and have a talent for singing. It would be a shame not to further your education!"
Chen Fan sighed with deep guilt: "In the past, it was your brother who dragged you down. But from now on, your brother can make money. I will definitely support you to go to college and take the postgraduate entrance examination. However long you want to study, your brother will support you!"
"Brother!"
Chen Ran choked up and threw herself into Chen Fan's arms. The long-held grievances against Chen Fan finally dissipated at this moment.
Chen Dongshan kept wiping his tears on the side. But his face was full of a happy smile.
"Little Ran, your brother bought meat and fresh vegetables. Go make a few dishes and then invite Sister Fang over for a meal."
"Sister Fang has taken such good care of our family, we must treat her to a good meal."
After instructing Chen Ran, Chen Fan casually picked up a woven bag placed beside him.
"Dad, Little Ran. I have something to do and need to go out for a bit. I'll be back soon."
"Okay, Little Fan, come back early for dinner."
Chen Fan greeted his father and sister, carrying the woven bag, and walked towards the south end of the town.
Panshi Town wasn't big, and it only took twenty minutes to walk there.
Soon, Chen Fan arrived at the entrance of a game arcade at the south end of the town. A kid with dyed yellow hair was squatting at the door smoking.
Chen Fan asked him, "Where's your boss? Tell him that someone from the Chen family is here to pay the debt."
The owner of this game arcade was the squinty-eyed guy who lent money at high interest.
Earlier, in front of his father, Chen Fan hadn't told the truth.
Because, when it came to repaying the debt, Chen Fan had his own plans.
The kid said nothing and ran inside to call someone.
In no time, the squinty-eyed guy came out with a cigarette in his mouth, holding a heavily made-up girl in his arms. Find the original chapter at g.com.
"Heh, I was wondering who it was. Isn't it Old Chen's son who just got out? What's the deal? I heard you're here to pay the debt?"
The squinty-eyed guy blew a smoke ring at Chen Fan, gesturing with his mouth: "How much money did you bring?"
Chen Fan threw the woven bag he was holding over and nodded his chin: "See for yourself."
The squinty-eyed guy signaled the kid to open the bag, and soon, bundles of red hundred-yuan bills were revealed inside.
Neatly arranged, a total of thirty bundles.
The squinty-eyed guy was stunned, and the cigarette fell from his mouth.
This kid kept his word, saying he'd pay the debt in three days, and here he was, with the money in just one day.
"Heh, you really came to pay the debt. Where did you get so much money?"
Chen Fan said indifferently: "That's none of your business. Check if the money is right. If it is, hand over the IOU."
The squinty-eyed guy squatted down and counted carefully.
Three hundred thousand, no problem at all.
The squinty-eyed guy couldn't stop grinning. He had lent the Chen family 30,000 yuan, and now he was getting back 300,000. Damn, this deal was worth it!
"Not a single mistake. Here's the IOU, take it."
The squinty-eyed guy had someone bring the IOU over and tossed it to Chen Fan.
Chen Fan took the IOU, checked it carefully, and then tore it into pieces.
"Alright, we're even now. You can leave!"
Having made a fortune, the squinty-eyed guy was in a great mood. He even nudged the girl beside him, earning a big eye roll from her.
However, just as the squinty-eyed guy was about to head back to the arcade, Chen Fan called out to him.
"Wait a minute."
"What else do you want?" The squinty-eyed guy turned around, a bit annoyed. He was eager to get back to his games.
Chen Fan looked at him coldly: "My family's debt with you is settled. But don't you think we should settle the score between you and me?"
The squinty-eyed guy was taken aback: "What score do we have left to settle?"
Chen Fan's eyes darkened, and his fists slowly clenched.
"You bullied my dad, bullied my sister, and even trashed my house. Don't you think we should settle this score?"
The squinty-eyed guy immediately understood, his eyes widened, and he sneered.
"Kid, are you tired of living, daring to act tough in front of me?"
With a shout from the squinty-eyed guy, more than twenty people rushed out from the arcade.
These were all his underlings, each with a fierce look, holding sticks, machetes, and other weapons.
The squinty-eyed guy laughed wildly, pointing at Chen Fan: "Kid, didn't you want to settle the score with me? Come on, if you've got the guts, come on!"
