Chapter 53 Block Another's Interests, and He Will Fight You to the Death!
Liu Yan was crying with disheveled hair, kneeling on the ground, her tears and snot mixed together.
Excrement and urine were flowing out of her, looking utterly wretched and pathetic.
She had seen many videos on the internet about this region of Northern Myanmar.
The reason she wanted to lure Zhang Fan to this place was simply because the people here suffered miserably!
Who would have thought that in the end, she would be the one caught and ruined in it.
Liu Yan felt like she wanted to die, weeping bitterly and shedding tears.
Buzz, buzz...
Zhang Fan's cell phone vibrated.
Taking a closer look, he saw it was a call from Xu Wanying.
Ignoring Liu Yan's crying for the moment, he answered Xu Wanying's call.
"I am in Northern Myanmar. What's the matter?"
Xu Wanying sounded a bit surprised.
"Boss, when other people go on their honeymoons, they run off to play in developed countries."
"At the very least, they go to the best domestic scenic spots."
"Why on earth did you run off to Northern Myanmar..."
Zhang Fan chuckled and glanced at Liu Yan.
"I had some business here. Tell me, what's wrong?"
Xu Wanying hurriedly got down to business.
"Here is the situation. I used the one billion yuan you left in the company to recruit some people."
"We've expanded the company's scale to over a thousand people, and the corresponding management levels have all been set up."
"There is a rather troublesome issue. Fortune 500 companies from all over the world did come to sign various contracts with me, and many bosses expressed their willingness to provide financing and investment. However, Logan of the Rothschild family has mobilized all his forces to blockade our raw materials."
"As a result, we can't even etch the circuit diagram of a single silicon wafer right now."
Zhang Fan's brows furrowed deeply, and his gaze turned cold.
"Has this guy Logan lost his mind?"
"To protect their total market monopoly, he's willing to pay such a heavy price?"
"I refuse to believe he can cut off all silicon wafer suppliers from cooperating with me."
Xu Wanying sighed helplessly.
"The trouble this time is truly substantial. To obstruct you, Logan even convened numerous hearings in the United States."
"Every single supplier capable of providing us with silicon wafers has been targeted by Logan."
"A prominent figure was even killed because of this!"
Zhang Fan's heart sank.
This Logan truly seemed intent on destroying the Zhang Group!
He didn't even hesitate to kill people for this purpose.
And naturally so; by blocking the path for Western capital to make money, these capitalists would fight you to the death for the sake of money.
Just like when electric vehicles first emerged, media outlets worldwide unanimously began reporting on all sorts of drawbacks of electric cars.
It was all because they were blocking the path to wealth.
This matter was indeed something Xu Wanying could not resolve.
Without overthinking, Zhang Fan immediately issued instructions.
"Alright, continue to expand the company's scale, and have people keep negotiating cooperation with those who are willing."
"I am coming right back."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Fan cast an indifferent gaze at Liu Yan.
"Enough! Don't let me hear your crying anymore, understand?"
Liu Yan was already terrified to the core, and at Zhang Fan's stern rebuke, she was instantly too scared to utter a sound.
The beautiful woman raised her head, her terrified eyes meeting Zhang Fan's.
Zhang Fan's expression remained expressionless, without a shred of pity in his heart.
Even though this woman had borne him a child and cared for his mother for ten years.
He stared coldly at Liu Yan.
"Regarding your infidelity, I merely beat you up and did not touch your vital parts."
"Afterward, when you demanded that I leave the marriage with nothing, I agreed as well."
"Who would have thought that first, your parents would run to my house, harass my mother, and even attempt to strike her."
"That's the first thing!"
Growing increasingly terrified, Liu Yan turned pale and hurriedly tried to explain.
"I..."
"Shut up!"
Zhang Fan glared at her with a dark expression.
"I haven't finished yet."
"Second, I had already decided to leave you alone—you live your life, and I'll live mine."
"Even though you repeatedly mocked and insulted me in your moments, I never harbored thoughts of revenge against you."
"After all, when all is said and done, I am not a heartless person, and we were husband and wife once."
At this point, Zhang Fan felt a piercing ache in his heart. He squatted down, stared straight into Liu Yan's eyes, and ground his teeth.
"And yet, what about you?!"
"While I was on my honeymoon, you actually paid human traffickers, trying to have me kidnapped to Northern Myanmar!"
"Subjecting me and my newlywed wife to inhuman torture."
"What did you even say to that Bai Xiaoxiao? You wanted to harvest all my organs, sell them all over the world, and squeeze out my very last drop of blood. Oh, Liu Yan, Liu Yan, for me to curse you right now is an insult to myself!"
"Remember, today is the last time I will ever see you. I won't harm you, and it is even less likely that I will save you!"
"As for what will happen to you now that you are left in Northern Myanmar, that has nothing to do with me!"
Having said that, Zhang Fan stood up and refused to look at Liu Yan ever again.
Even as Liu Yan shrieked at the top of her lungs.
Even as Liu Yan wailed miserably.
Zhang Fan truly did as he said; he turned his head, not even bothering to cast another glance at her.
He reached out his hand, and Zhu Qing'an immediately slipped her arm through his. The two of them walked out of the restaurant as if no one else was around.
Feixiao immediately led all the bodyguards to surround the two of them, protecting their safety.
"No!"
The mere thought of what awaited her, especially not knowing what cruel methods Bai Yangshu would use against her after Bai Xiaoxiao's death, sent shivers of terror through Liu Yan.
She immediately cried out incessantly toward Zhang Fan's retreating back.
"Zhang Fan! Husband!"
"You said it yourself, we were husband and wife of ten years after all. How, how can you..."
"Save me! Don't leave me here alone, I'm begging you, save me!"
Zhang Fan never once looked back.
He let her cry until her voice grew hoarse.
As for Bai Yangshu, he bowed respectfully and deeply until their group vanished at the edge of the horizon.
The moment Zhang Fan left, Bai Yangshu's expression instantly turned ruthless as he delivered a vicious kick straight to Liu Yan's stomach.
The kick sent Liu Yan flying backward, shattering a chair in the process.
Trembling all over from the agony, she was unable to stand up, and one of her teeth had broken in her mouth.
Seething with uncontainable fury, Bai Yangshu pointed at Liu Yan and roared in a voice bordering on a scream.
"You vile bitch, whore!"
"If it weren't for you, my son would never have gotten entangled in the affairs concerning the Zhu family and Mr. Zhang."
"It was you who killed my son! Take her back!"
A large crowd immediately seized the frantically struggling Liu Yan, ignoring her desperate pleas for mercy, and dragged her away.
Meanwhile, the beautiful owner of the rice noodle shop hurriedly bowed as she saw Bai Yangshu and his entourage off.
Once everyone had left, the female boss collapsed onto the floor, drenched in cold sweat.
"Good lord!"
"Just, just what kind of big shot is this Zhang Fan?"
"His wife also seems extraordinarily powerful!"
"I actually thought he would die at the hands of those thugs from the Bai family. When the Bai family's second young master came out, I was even worried my shop would get smashed up."
"Who could have imagined that the dignified head of the Bai family, a supreme figure who rules supreme in Northern Myanmar, would actually bow to Zhang Fan?! He almost dropped to his knees! Oh my god! He even willingly killed his own son just to win Zhang Fan's forgiveness? Hiss!"
A lingering sense of terror gripped the female boss.
If Zhang Fan hadn't been so strikingly handsome, there was simply no way she would have treated him so well.
Fortunately, he was handsome!
From the moment he appeared, she had maintained a warm and pleasant demeanor toward him and even added extra ingredients to his rice noodles.
Who on earth was this Zhang Fan?!
As a native of Northern Myanmar, speaking Chinese was normal for her, but she truly didn't use Chinese internet platforms.
All of a sudden, her curiosity about Zhang Fan reached its absolute peak.
Meanwhile.
At the Bai residence.
Liu Yan, beaten beyond recognition to the point where her gender was indistinguishable, wished she could tear her own intestines out in regret.
She could no longer cry out loud because her vocal cords had been ruined from sobbing.
Yet such occurrences were commonplace in Northern Myanmar.
Not a single soul came to rescue Liu Yan.
Of this, Liu Yan herself was acutely aware.
Suspended in the air, consumed by profound regret, she wept until her eyes were nearly blinded.
Will I... will I really die in this place?
If only I hadn't divorced Zhang Fan in the first place.
If only I hadn't come to Northern Myanmar.
If I had just lived my life peaceably in the United States instead.
How could I possibly be facing all of this right now?
Liu Yan sank completely into a state of collapse.
Nearby, Bai Yangshu sat and continued his furious tirade.
"Beat her! Keep beating that bitch!"
"Beat this wretch until her skin is torn to shreds!"
"Have the doctors and nurses on standby at all times. I absolutely will not allow her to die easily!"
Hearing this, Liu Yan wailed even more hysterically, crying until she nearly passed out.
Right at that moment, a phone call came through to Bai Yangshu's cell phone.
Seeing the caller ID, Bai Yangshu's expression shifted slightly.
...
Before long, Zhang Fan and Zhu Qing'an returned to China, heading straight to the Zhang Group.
After resting for a day, the two of them hurried over to the company.
Upon arrival, they found Xu Wanying sitting at her desk with a gloomy and distressed expression.
Catching sight of Zhang Fan, Xu Wanying looked as though she had spotted her savior and lunged forward to hug him.
"Boss, it's wonderful! You're finally back!"
"What on earth should we do about Logan's side now?"
Zhu Qing'an let out a cough from the side, prompting Xu Wanying to realize the impropriety of her actions. She quickly released Zhang Fan and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
Frowning, Zhang Fan asked, "Tell me the specific situation."
"Could it be that every single supplier providing silicon wafers has refused to cooperate with us? Does the Rothschild family really wield that much power?"
