Chapter 314: Visitor from the Xu Family
"Even if it's not mine, I'll fight to take it!"
Having said this in one breath, Zheng Shuheng's face brimmed with fierce confidence, seemingly convinced that neither Ye Fan nor Su Zhanyun could ever best him.
Staring at the smug Zheng Shuheng, Su Zhanyun clenched his fists in anger.
In his eyes, Zheng Shuheng was arrogant and utterly deserving of a beating.
But Zheng Shuheng's background was significant, so he had no choice but to forcibly swallow his rage.
Ye Fan, on the other hand, was unmoved, "Don't speak so confidently, or you're likely to end up embarrassed!"
"Embarrassed?"
Hearing this, Zheng Shuheng scoffed, "I'm sorry, but the only ones who are going to be embarrassed are you guys!"
"We'll just have to see about that!" Ye Fan was fearless.
Boom!!!
Less than twenty minutes later, a Lamborghini roared up like a primal beast at breakneck speed.
Seeing the Lamborghini, Zheng Shuheng said excitedly, "Haoran's here, you two are done for!"
"Young Master Zheng!"
Upon arriving at Silver Base Tower, Xu Haoran spotted Zheng Shuheng, who was confronting Ye Fan and Su Zhanyun, the moment he got out of the car.
Zheng Shuheng waved and smiled, "Haoran, you got here so fast!"
"Young Master Zheng rarely visits Central Plains; if I were late, wouldn't that make it seem like I have no manners!" Xu Haoran chuckled lightly.
At that, Zheng Shuheng burst into laughter, "Haoran, we're all family here, no need for formalities! I've already explained the situation to you over the phone. Silver Base Tower is a property of the Xu Family, and I fancy this showroom. I'll leave the rest for you to handle!"
"Don't you worry, Young Master Zheng. It's a minor issue!" Xu Haoran said with a playful smile.
After exchanging brief greetings with Zheng Shuheng, Xu Haoran turned and asked, "Which one of you is called Su Zhanyun?"
"I am Su Zhanyun!" Su Zhanyun stepped forward and said.
"Oh? You're Su Zhanyun?"
Xu Haoran looked at Su Zhanyun with a hint of surprise and then pulled out the rental contract, "I'm not renting this showroom anymore. Pack up your things and take your people out of here quickly!"
"What? Young Master Xu, you want us to leave? That's hardly fair, is it?"
Su Zhanyun had anticipated this outcome, but hearing Xu Haoran say it himself, he still found it hard to accept.
Seeing that Su Zhanyun wasn't planning to leave, Xu Haoran smirked dismissively, "How is this unfair? My rules are the rules. Silver Base Tower is a Xu Family asset. If I say you can stay, then you can stay, but if I tell you to leave, then you must get lost!"
"Young Master Xu, the contract is written in black and white. Aren't you afraid that this will tarnish the Xu Family's reputation if it gets out?" Su Zhanyun frowned and said.
"What about it being in black and white?"
Hearing this, Xu Haoran didn't care in the slightest.
Tear!
In front of everyone, Xu Haoran ripped the rental contract in his hand into shreds, flinging handfuls of torn pieces to the ground.
"Young Master Xu, what is the meaning of this?" Su Zhanyun's face changed.
Xu Haoran said mockingly, "Has the Xu Family ever signed a rental contract with you? I don't seem to recall that."
"You..." Seeing Xu Haoran's shamelessness, Su Zhanyun's body trembled with anger.
He knew that Xu Haoran's arrival would certainly mean he was siding with Zheng Shuheng, but he hadn't expected Xu Haoran to be so blatantly arrogant and dismissive.
Noticing this, Ye Fan sneered, "You think tearing up the rental contract means you're off the hook? There are two copies of that contract, if I remember correctly?"
"Yes, there are two copies of the contract!" Su Zhanyun said coldly.
Xu Haoran scoffed, "Are you threatening me? Let me tell you both something; as long as I say the Xu Family hasn't rented out the showroom in Silver Base Tower to you, it hasn't been rented. Even if people find out, no one will challenge my authority on account of two insignificant characters like you!"
"Just like Young Master Zheng, you're cut from the same cloth!" Ye Fan curled his lips spitefully.
Hearing Xu Haoran's conversation with Ye Fan and Su Zhanyun, Zheng Shuheng laughed triumphantly like a general who had won a battle, "Did you two hear that? This place is no longer your turf. Aren't you going to scram with your people already, or are you waiting for Haoran to get furious and kick you out by force?"
"Brother-in-law, what should we do?" Su Zhanyun looked at Ye Fan with a pale face.
Ye Fan sneered at Xu Haoran, "What if we refuse to leave?"
"Refuse to leave? Humph! Kid, are you deliberately trying to pick a fight with me?" Xu Haoran's face flushed with anger.
As the elder son of the Xu Family, Xu Haoran received respect wherever he went in Central Plains. When Zheng Shuheng called him earlier, Xu Haoran thought this little issue was a minor problem to him.
He hadn't expected that upon arriving at Silver Base Tower, he would encounter Ye Fan, this tough nut to crack.
This time, having left home in a rush, Xu Haoran hadn't brought any men with him; otherwise, based on Ye Fan's words, he would have ordered them to beat Ye Fan long ago.
Ye Fan gave a cold smile, "Clearly, it's Young Master Xu who's deliberately making things difficult for us on Zheng Shuheng's behalf!"
"Oh! You don't even give face to me, you've got guts!"
Staring at Ye Fan, Xu Haoran's complexion turned cold as he said, "Kid, do you have any idea what kind of consequences you'll face for offending me?"
"You want to make a move against me? Tsk! As powerful as Zheng Shuheng is, he wouldn't dare to cause a stir in front of me. If you dare to make a move, I wouldn't mind teaching you a lesson," Ye Fan said with an amused look.
What! Ye Fan was going to teach him a lesson?
These words made Xu Haoran roll up his sleeves, ready to rush forward and slap Ye Fan hard.
Seeing Xu Haoran about to hit Ye Fan, Zheng Shuheng panicked, his eyelids twitching wildly. He quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Don't be rash, Haoran, don't be rash!"
"Young Master Zheng, trust me, watch me today as I make him kneel before me begging for mercy. In Central Plains City, no one dares to disregard me!" Xu Haoran said furiously.
Grabbing Xu Haoran tightly, Zheng Shuheng said, "Stop, stop, stop, Haoran, listen to me, you're no match for him!"
If the problem could be solved by force, he wouldn't have called Xu Haoran for help in the first place.
Now, with his top fighter Sun Meng having been soundly defeated by Ye Fan, if Xu Haoran were to rush forward now, he'd certainly be soundly beaten as well.
After all, Ye Fan was a Martial Arts King, someone not just any ordinary person could shake.
"I'm no match for him?" Xu Haoran asked, astonished.
He wasn't a fool. Xu Haoran glanced around the scene and noticed Sun Meng's pale face with blood at the corner of his mouth.
Xu Haoran could tell that before he arrived, Zheng Shuheng and others must have had a confrontation with Ye Fan and his people and were suppressed.
Xu Haoran was taken aback; he knew Zheng Shuheng always had strong fighters around him, but he didn't expect them to fall short against Ye Fan.
Realizing that even Zheng Shuheng was no match for Ye Fan, Xu Haoran decided to back off. He glared fiercely at Ye Fan and said, "Consider yourself lucky, kid. If it weren't for Young Master Zheng holding me back today, I would have smashed your damned head in!"
"Is that so?" Ye Fan smiled meaningfully.
Zheng Shuheng went straight to the point, "Haoran, resorting to violence is beneath us. How about this, you just break the contract with them, and I'll cover the penalty fee!"
"That's the only way!" Xu Haoran nodded gravely.
Then, Xu Haoran turned to Su Zhanyun and said, "I've seen the lease contract. Our Xu Family rented this exhibition hall to you for one year at 1.2 million. It stipulates that a breach by either party requires a threefold compensation. I'm going to break the contract now. I'll just pay you 3.6 million in damages! No, let's make it a round figure, 4 million!"
"In a moment, I'll have someone transfer 4 million into your account, and you can take this 4 million as your severance and scram!"
"Breaking the contract?" Su Zhanyun asked with difficulty.
Would he actually lose the exhibition hall and lose face in front of Zheng Shuheng?
Your adventure continues at empire
Just as Su Zhanyun was struggling with indignation, Ye Fan scoffed, "You want to break the contract by force? What if I don't agree?"
"Don't agree? Fuck! What right do you have not to agree?"
Seeing Ye Fan still daring to defy him, Xu Haoran exploded in fury, "Kid, am I giving you too much face? Do you know this Silver Base Tower is owned by my Xu Family? Being so arrogant on my Xu Family's turf, do you believe I can make a call and have you chopped to death?"
"Have someone chop me to death? Tsk tsk! I don't believe that!" Ye Fan smiled wickedly.
Seeing this, Xu Haoran became livid, "Damn it, are you seeking death? Right now, I'll call someone to kill you in minutes!"
"What? Haoran, you want to call people to kill Mr. Ye, daring to show disrespect to Mr. Ye, you've got some nerve!"
As Xu Haoran was raging, a snort was heard, and the breathtakingly beautiful Xu Ruoxuan came striding over with an angry face.
