Chapter 20: Father's Troubles
At this time, Chen Meili did not feel dizzy, and watched in surprise as this person sat down on the edge of the bed in a daze, covering her ears with her hands and trembling.
After a little hesitation, Chen Meili immediately came to her senses, picked up Li Fan's backpack with one hand, pulled up Li Fan on the ground with the other and ran out.
As soon as they rushed out of the room, the two heard the siren on the street, Chen Meili wanted to take the elevator downstairs but was stopped by Li Fan, who was slightly sober, he carried his backpack and pulled Chen Meili to the fire stairs to the upper floor.
The sight was shocking, the hallway rooms were all unrecognizable, except for some load-bearing concrete walls that were slightly intact, the other walls and windows were completely destroyed, fortunately this was the top floor, there was no weight on it, otherwise the whole floor would have collapsed.
I don't know if she was scared to see this dilapidated scene or ran too fast, Chen Meili couldn't help but run to the corner and vomit. Li Fan looked back and was startled, Chen Meili spit out a mouthful of black blood.
Seeing that Chen Meili had a big problem with her body, Li Fan was hesitating whether to continue to look for Ah Fei or take Chen Meili to the hospital first, but he didn't expect Chen Meili to sweep his eyes when he vomited, and he had already found Ah Fei who was panting against a broken wall in front of him, and Ah Fei also saw her.
Without waiting for Chen Meili to signal, Li Fan walked up a few steps to help Ah Fei to Chen Meili, and the three of them went downstairs along the fire stairs and left through the back door of the hotel.
Ah Fei took the two of them into the off-road vehicle he parked in the back alley, and as soon as he drove to the alley, the siren sounded to the front door of the hotel, and a bunch of policemen rushed up the stairs.
At this time, Ah Fei saw four people jumping out of the window on the fourth floor of the hotel where he had just fought, worried that they would catch up with him by car, and he didn't want to be harassed by the police, so he quickly drove into the traffic on the main road.
After driving for a short while, Ah Fei parked the car on the side of the road, changed seats with Li Fan, let Li Fan drive, and sat in the back seat to relieve the dizziness.
Li Fan sat in the driver's seat and looked at Chen Meili in the passenger seat, saw that she had fainted, and planned to drive directly to a nearby hospital.
Ah Fei said while being lucky in the back:
"I just took her pulse, and she was poisoned by a poison, which is why she vomited black blood. The hospital may not be able to treat it, so it can't be delayed, so hurry back to the coal city and find the third master of the Chen family to have hope of detoxification!"
Li Fan listened, held the steering wheel with one hand, and checked Chen Meili with the other, and sure enough, as Ah Fei said, Chen Meili was highly poisoned, and it was a poison that he had never encountered, so without saying a word, he increased the accelerator and drove straight to the coal city.
More than four hours later, Li Fan drove across the Heijiang Bridge.
When driving through the sharp turn under the dirt slope, Li Fan especially looked at the place where Chen Fugui and his people rushed down the river with the car, and saw that the gap in the guardrail there was still there, and the scenes of the past came to his mind, and he was full of emotion.
After driving for more than an hour, Li Fan drove to Chenjia Village in the northeast of Coal City, and under the guidance of Ah Fei, he went straight to the mansion of the third master of the Chen family from a road behind the village.
Since Ah Fei had called on the road, the third master of the Chen family had already sent someone to wait at the door with a stretcher.
As soon as the car arrived, Chen Meili was immediately carried into the Sanye Mansion on a stretcher.
Ah Fei originally planned to follow up together, but the people from the Third Master's Mansion refused, saying that outsiders were not allowed to enter without the consent of the Third Master.
couldn't get in, and didn't let him wait at the door, Ah Fei could only drive away with Li Fan.
To Li Fan's surprise, on the way home to send Li Fan, Ah Fei didn't ask a word, and kept driving silently, seemingly depressed.
What's the matter with this kid? Looks like he's worried about the beautiful situation...... Crush?
After experiencing the affairs of the Greenstone Country, Li Fan has regarded Chen Meili as an extraordinary friend in his heart, although Ah Fei in front of him saved himself and Meimei, but seeing that he seems to be interesting to Chen Meili, he is still very awkward in his heart.
When he arrived at the gate of the community, Ah Fei just nodded at Li Fan after he got out of the car, and wanted to drive away without saying a word.
Seeing this, Li Fan was not very happy, but he still thanked him for taking the risk to save himself and Chen Meili today, and then asked him for a phone, saying that he wanted to call him tomorrow to understand Chen Meili's situation.
Hearing Li Fan say this, Ah Fei's eyes suddenly became indifferent, and he said:
"Li Fan, don't make a mistake, beauty is the dignified young lady of the Chen family, it's not your turn to ask for warmth from a little person, I can't give you the phone, and you'd better not harass her in the future!" After speaking, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Little...... Not eligible...... I, Li Fan, am just a small person at the bottom of society, without any resources, without any ability, and I have to wait for someone to save me when I encounter danger......
Even though it was summer, the night before dawn was cold.
Li Fan had no intention of going home, so he walked into the park near the community in a lonely mood, found a bench and sat down, and looked blankly at the woods in front of him.
Sometimes worried about Chen Meimei's situation, pondering the strange poison for a while, sometimes thinking about his future, his heart was extremely full of thirst for kung fu, Li Fan sat on the park bench for more than three hours, thinking for more than three hours.
When the sky was bright, Li Fan sent a secret chat message to Zhang Cheng and Lu Zhong, who were still in Diancheng, asking them to get up early and take a taxi back to Coal City, not to worry about the hotel, the Chen family would definitely use their background to suppress this matter, but don't mention everything to anyone, including Greenstone Country.
After sending the message, Li Fan went home and washed up, saw that his parents were still sleeping, changed his clothes, and planned to go to work directly in the company.
Just as he was sorting out his backpack, Li Fan found that the two red, red, green and green wild fruits that the moth monster liked to eat were gone, and turned into two black kernels wrapped in paper towels.
It's strange, how did this wild fruit turn into a core on its own, and the flesh was eaten? The core was still wrapped in a paper towel...... Could it be that she eats it beautifully? So the poison in her has something to do with this wild fruit? Yesterday in the hotel, when she screamed, she made people feel dizzy, similar to the moth monster, and it is also the effect of this wild fruit?
A series of questions made Li Fan fall into deep thought, but after thinking for a while, he couldn't draw any logical conclusions, so he had to wipe the two black fruit cores clean and put them away, and hurriedly left home to go to work in the company.
Li Fan was busy in the office all morning, arranging the follow-up work of procurement.
Near noon, Zhang Cheng and Lu Zhong returned to the office, but they still didn't see Chen Meili, although this was expected, Li Fan's heart was still sad, and he began to search for similar wild fruits on the Internet with the impression in his mind, but found nothing.
After lunch, as soon as Li Fan returned to his seat in the office, the old head of the Chen family walked into the office with a few people, summoned everyone to the hall like last time, announced that Chen Yong, the eldest son of the second master of the Chen family, was the new general manager of the Chen family's medicinal materials company, and then left directly.
Others didn't know the inside story, but Li Fan knew in his heart that the two attacks on Chen Meili were probably done by Chen Min, the eldest daughter of the old head of the Chen family just now, so he hated the old man from the bottom of his heart, but on the surface, he still pretended that nothing happened, and politely greeted a few people.
Contrary to Li Fan's expectations, the newly appointed Chen Yong began to point out in the office hall according to his own ideas before he understood the company's situation, shouting and shouting to everyone.
Li Fan was not spared, and was inexplicably beaten, saying how he was not dedicated, and the company's slow business development was due to the incompetent marketing manager, etc.
Li Fan returned to his seat and saw Zhang Cheng sighing, and Lu Zhong was also depressed and searched for recruitment information on the Internet, realizing that it was time to leave the company.
The reason for resigning seems to be that a high-flying general manager has just arrived, but Li Fan knows in his heart that only by realizing the freedom of time, space and finances can he pursue his dreams.
After handing over the resignation letter, Li Fan appeased Zhang Cheng and Lu Zhong, asking them to work patiently for a while, and he had a suitable opportunity to find them again.
Back home, Li Fan immediately began to sell the ores and medicinal materials recovered from Giant Ape Island, Li's father and Li's mother were more open-minded, although they felt that mining and selling ores and medicinal materials was not a long-term solution, but they had just resigned, and it was a kind of adjustment to make money in a different way, and they all expressed their support.
Li Fan was busy for more than a month, selling most of the medicinal materials and ores, and in the end, he earned a total of more than two million.
When the family was having dinner together that day, Li's mother said while eating: "More than 2 million yuan will provide three more houses! The house price will definitely rise again!"
Father Li immediately objected: "Housing prices have risen to the sky, even in a small city like Coal City, it generally takes two generations to provide for a house, and who can afford to buy it?"
Li's mother immediately retorted: "As long as the government does not limit purchases and loans, rich people will still buy houses without investment channels, and the house will definitely go up, and it is right to buy a house!"
Dad Li said: "Why don't you open a shop and sell some clothes and shoes, so you don't have to work for others anymore?"
This time, without waiting for Li's mother to speak, Li Fan spoke: "Dad, I saw you drinking sullenly in the previous paragraph, did you get angry at the unit?"
"Alas, the coal mining company where I work is a state-owned enterprise restructuring listed company with very poor performance, and the Ding family, the Chen family, the Ma family, and the Xu family are also shareholders. ”
"Now that the state strictly controls the issuance of new shares, Ding Feng wants Ding's Real Estate Group to go public through the backdoor coal mountain mining. ”
In order to buy enough shares at a low price, Ding Feng asked the company to issue a false mine appraisal report, saying that there were not many mines left to mine, so that other shareholders and shareholders would sell their shares. ”
"After the stock price falls sharply, Ding Feng will quietly buy at a low level, and inject the assets of Ding's Real Estate Group after the holding, and the stock price will skyrocket after the successful restructuring, and he can make a lot of money. ”
"What does this have to do with you? Aren't you just a part-time job?"
"It doesn't matter, but I'm the chief engineer in charge of exploration at Coal Mountain Mining, and this mine mining value assessment report is my job. ”
Father Li sighed and continued:
"Ding Feng approached me and asked me to write the assessment report poorly. If I do what he asks, he can make a lot of money, I will offend the Chen family, the Ma family and the Xu family, and if something happens, it is very likely that I will be pushed out as a scapegoat, and if I don't do what he asks, he will find me in trouble!"
"How can you find trouble?"
"He has both black and white, and it is too easy for him to find trouble with us ordinary people! If he is white, he will lower your salary, tell other units that they are not allowed to hire you and your family, and if he is black, he will find someone to scratch and threaten you! I have now postponed the submission of the report by three months, and he has warned me twice, saying that if I don't cooperate, he will not give me a chance!"
"If I have no income, what will happen to the family's expenses? Your mother's Chinese medicine hospital is inefficient and the salary is low, and you still have to buy a house and get married...... If he lets the underworld come to his door to find trouble, then he won't be able to live......"
Li's mother didn't make a sound after hearing this, leaving tears in her eyes.
Li Fan didn't speak, and the "quack" of his fist sounded, and his heart was already burning with anger.
Ding Feng! I, Li Fan, originally wanted to be an ordinary person lazily and have no quarrel with the world, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't be looking for trouble, and trouble would come to me! Dare to bully my father and threaten our family! Let's see!
Then no one spoke, and ate dinner quietly.
Li Fan pondered for a while, and then said, "Dad, I'll ask Xue Ling'er tomorrow to give you a certificate of infectious disease, saying that you will be isolated and treated at home for a period of time if you are sick!"
When Father Li heard this, he looked at Li Fan and said:
I think the only solution is to resign, if it weren't for the fear that my family will not have enough money, and if I am afraid that other units will not be able to hire me if Ding Feng has greeted me, I would have resigned a long time ago."
Li's mother said: "Just live on more than 2 million yuan, it can only last for a few years, and Li Fan still has to buy a house and get married!"
Li Fan looked at his parents and said in a very affirmative tone: "Resigning will also anger Ding Feng, he will still trouble you, he is now the richest man in the coal city, let's be patient!"
Although he was skeptical, he felt that it was better to rest at home for a period of time to avoid the limelight, so Li's father finally adopted Li Fan's suggestion, took sick leave the next day, and began to rest at home.
Temporarily solving his father's urgent need, Li Fan began to think about his next plan.
What is Ding Feng most afraid of in our family? It should be his relationship with the underworld! It is necessary to investigate his background, but more importantly, how to deal with the underworld when they come to the door.
It will not work by reasoning and calling the police, the police cannot be in your house 24 hours a day, only on their own. After absorbing that golden fruit, my physique seems to have strengthened a lot, I should be like Lao Sun, find a real kung fu to learn, this is a world of the jungle, only when I become stronger can I protect my family and friends.
The matter of Coal Mountain Mining is also very tricky, pretending to be sick can only be postponed for a while, and Ding Feng's conspiracy cannot be exposed, so it will clash with him head-on, you have to think about it......
Because his father was facing a big trouble, and he quit his job and had no stable income, Li Fan went to Giant Ape Island again on the weekend, this time mainly collecting medicinal materials that were old for a long time, and after coming back, he brought the rare medicinal materials he had just picked to visit the old grandson.
