Just after coming down the mountain, the beautiful CEO took me to register

Chapter 122 I will never do it again

At this point, Zhao Ziqing began to wonder: Why hasn't Lin Fan arrived yet? Li Shengjie was still holding a mysterious box. What on earth was he planning?

"Mr. Zhao, I've come here today specifically to apologize to you." Li Shengjie suddenly bowed deeply. "I used some despicable means to acquire the Zhao Company before. I really deserve to die..."

Zhao Ziqing was confused. What on earth was this guy talking about?

"This is my sincere heart. You have to keep this jade." Li Shengjie said as he opened the box. The jade inside was shining and translucent.

Just as he finished speaking, the office door slammed open, and Lin Fan strode in. He glanced around and saw the jade in the box. His face darkened, and he said, "You're just going to deal with this little thing? Aren't you being too contemptuous of me?"

Li Shengjie was frightened and trembled. "Mr. Xiao, it's a misunderstanding, it's just a small token of my appreciation. I also plan to share market resources with the Zhao Group..."

Zhao Ziqing looked from one to the other, wondering: Do they know each other? Could Li Shengjie's actions today be directed at Lin Fan?

"Shared market? We in the Zhao family don't look down on your tiny market." Lin Fan snorted disdainfully, then sat down on the sofa carelessly.

Zhao Ziqing actually wanted to say that Zhao's company was currently being suppressed by several major brands, making market expansion difficult. If Zhongyuan Jewelry was truly willing to share the market, then Zhao's predicament might be easily resolved.

At this moment, Li Shengjie suddenly fell to his knees with a plop. He felt that he had shown his utmost sincerity. He couldn't just give the entire Zhongyuan Jewelry to Zhao Ziqing, right?

"Mr. Xiao, I know I was wrong. Please have mercy on me." Li Shengjie begged bitterly.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ziqing became even more certain that all this must be the result of Lin Fan's manipulation. However, Lin Fan simply said, "It's useless to beg me. You need Mr. Zhao's approval."

"Mr. Zhao, please have mercy on me and let me go!" Li Shengjie turned to Zhao Ziqing and slapped himself twice in self-blame.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have plotted against the Zhao Company, and I shouldn't have sent anyone to threaten you... From now on, Zhongyuan Jewelry will obey your orders. The Zhongyuan market is equivalent to the Zhao Company's market."

He was really scared, not only because of Lin Fan's threat, but also because he revealed Zhao Ziqing's true identity.

The Su family is a daunting behemoth that even the Zhou family has to avoid.

It is no exaggeration to say that one word from Mr. Su is enough to make him a pauper or even disappear from this world.

"Alright, Mr. Li, let's talk it over." Zhao Ziqing stared at Li Shengjie and spoke slowly, "I'll forgive you for sending someone to scare me, but I won't do it again."

"I will never dare to do it again." Li Shengjie waved his hands hurriedly. He would not dare to do it again even if he had ten times the courage.

"Stand up and talk. How can we communicate if you kneel there?" Zhao Ziqing advised again.

"No, I'll just kneel like this. You talk, I'm all ears." Li Shengjie didn't dare to stand up easily.

"Get up if I tell you to." Lin Fan ordered coldly, "If you want to kneel, go back home and kneel."

"Yes, yes, I'll get up right away." Li Shengjie dared to stand up and sat on the edge of the sofa in fear.

"Take that piece of jade back. We can discuss further about the shared market." Zhao Ziqing didn't want to miss this opportunity.

"No, please accept the jade. As for the shared market, there's no need to discuss further. Whatever you say is what's best." Li Shengjie hastily stated, "As long as you leave me a way out, that's all that's needed."

"Don't act like we're bullying you." Lin Fan glared at him. "Boss Zhao is talking to you, so just listen honestly."

"Yes, yes." Li Shengjie responded hesitantly.

Half an hour later, Li Shengjie left in a hurry, leaving behind the jade. Zhao Ziqing turned to Lin Fan, "Are you going to explain?"

"Well, Xu Kai invited me to dinner that night, and I happened to meet Li Shengjie..." Lin Fan began to make up a story.

"Think it over before you write it." Zhao Ziqing interrupted him.

"Okay, I'll confess. I asked Xu Kai to check Li Shengjie's whereabouts..." Lin Fan briefly recounted what happened that night.

Zhao Ziqing stared at Lin Fan quietly without saying a word.

"Don't be angry, I didn't want to hide it from you, I was just afraid you wouldn't agree." Lin Fan explained.

"He even dared to find someone to scare you. How could I let you suffer any injustice?" Zhao Ziqing's tone revealed that no one could question it.

"I'm not angry, but tell me next time." She was actually a little touched.

"Oh, I'm glad you're not angry." Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at Zhao Ziqing's tempting red lips, he became distracted again.

I wonder when I can taste the sweetness of those red lips again.

The next day, Shen Wei said to Lin Fan while driving, "Brother Fan, I went home last night and showed the jade ruyi to grandpa. He was very happy and asked me to give you another 50 million and invited you to visit the Shen family."

"You can be my guest, but there's no need to pay. I don't need that." Lin Fan said casually while smoking a cigarette.

"By the way, your security experience period is about to end, right?" Shen Wei asked.

"Give me a few more days. I want to experience it more." Lin Fan replied.

"Then you have to tell Mr. Zhao." Shen Wei reminded him.

"Got it." The two chatted as they took a boat to the mysterious Dongshan Island.

"There are so many people exploring Dongshan Island lately." The boatman mistakenly thought they were explorers, "In recent years, there are always young people coming here looking for excitement.

Strangely, people disappear from time to time, as if they have evaporated from the face of the earth. Despite numerous investigations, the cause remains unknown, making Dongshan Island even more mysterious.

"Haha, big brother, are you a native of Dongshan Island?" Lin Fan handed over a cigarette with a smile.

"What a nice cigarette!" The boatman's eyes lit up and he took the cigarette. "Yes, my family has lived here for generations."

Lin Fan was immediately intrigued when he heard this. "Big Brother, as a frequent visitor to Dongshan Island, what are your thoughts on the disappearances on the island?"

"It's a long story," the boatman said solemnly. "Over the past few years, more than thirty people have mysteriously disappeared."

He stared at Lin Fan and gave him a serious warning, "Young man, listen to me. Try not to go deep into East Island. That's where disappearances are most common."

Through the boatman's narration, Lin Fan gained a deeper understanding of Dongshan Island. The island, shaped like a gourd, consists of two parts: East Island and West Island. The indigenous people mostly live on West Island, where the environment is pleasant and suitable for living.

The East Island, on the other hand, is a mountainous area with complex terrain and dense forests, like an undeveloped primeval jungle where wild animals roam.

The boatman explained that the missing people were most likely attacked by wild animals or fell into deep pits on the cliff, so their bodies were difficult to find.
