Zhang Fan hadn't expected that Tiger would beat someone up like that, yet still be unable to do anything about it, now claiming there was insufficient evidence.

So many people were watching, how could there be insufficient evidence?

Does he have such powerful connections?

Inside the teahouse, time seemed to flow exceptionally slowly, as the hustle and bustle of the outside world was shut out by an invisible wall.

The gentle sound of the piano and the faint chirping of birds in the distance intertwined to create a tranquil melody, while the aroma of tea rose gently, draping this small space in a light and warm atmosphere.

Sunlight streamed through the carved wooden windows, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on the bluestone floor, creating a series of natural light and shadow paintings.

Zhang Fan sat by the window, gently playing with an exquisite tea pet in his hand, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility and leisure.

Just then, the door of the teahouse was gently pushed open, and a gust of cold wind slipped in, stirring up fine dust particles.

Li Fu, however, appeared unusually dejected, listless, and staggered as he entered.

His head was wrapped in thick bandages, and although the bloodstains had dried, the shocking marks still told the story of a fierce battle that had taken place not long ago.

Ignoring the curious or sympathetic glances from those around him, Li Fu walked straight to the empty seat opposite Zhang Fan, plopped down, and seemed to have all his strength drained away at that moment.

He sighed, the sound particularly heavy in the quiet teahouse, like the last fallen leaf in autumn, carrying endless desolation and helplessness.

Her gaze wandered aimlessly, finally focusing on Zhang Fan's face with difficulty. Those eyes, which had once shone brightly, were now filled with insecurity and helplessness.

"Last time, about that unfinished building in the east of the city... Brother Tiger beat someone up, can you testify?" Li Fu's voice was low and hoarse, each word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat, revealing his despair about the current situation and his powerlessness to change the past.

Zhang Fan's teacup stopped spinning unconsciously, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Testify? This clearly happened in full view of everyone, so why would we need to find additional witnesses?

Could it be that even someone as well-known locally as Li Fu is helpless in the face of Tiger's domineering and ruthless nature, and can only hope for the weak support of others?

That's tough enough, no wonder he dared to borrow a billion yuan from himself.

Zhang Fan definitely has to help, otherwise Tiger Brother's next target will be him.

“After you get back, call Tiger and tell him that I want to testify and prove that he did wrong.”

Zhang Fan sipped his tea and said calmly.

Li Fu was taken aback. Really? Aren't you afraid of protection?

Even I couldn't take down Tiger, because Tiger has powerful backers.

"This Tiger Brother has some connection with the provincial capital's secretary-general."

Li Fu thought about it and still gave a reminder.

Secretary General?

There's no need to guess; we already know.

"I'll help you with Tiger's case, the Wanfu Group's bankruptcy reorganization..."

Zhang Fan said meaningfully.

This matter can't be delayed any longer; it must be resolved immediately, otherwise it will be detrimental to ourselves.

Those people might have run away.

"If Tiger gets arrested, Wanfu Group will be restructured immediately!"

Li Fu said with certainty.

"Okay, tell Li Fu that I'm hiding in the Guotai Hotel."

Zhang Fan smiled.

In my previous life, around this time, a nationwide crackdown had begun, and they were going to start targeting specific individuals; those involved in organized crime would be punished by the authorities.

The Guotai Hotel was actually where the undercover agents sent by higher authorities stayed. Given Tiger's personality, he would definitely send someone over.

Once he arrives, won't we have the evidence?

No matter how powerful his backing was, it was useless. A mere secretary-general? Could he possibly outmaneuver the entire country!

He dared to provoke Tiger Brother because he knew that the criminal gangs were being cracked down on at this time.

As for the billion, the bank should be most worried about its own safety now. If something really happens to them, how will they repay the money?

Li Fu was stunned for a long time before finally nodding.

Tiger must be eliminated because he threatened his daughter, so he must die!

Now that Zhang Fan has come up with a solution, let's see if this kid has any real skills.

If Tiger really goes to jail, then Wanfu Group will have to start restructuring under his own control.

Li Fu got up and went out to make arrangements immediately.

Zhang Fan watched Li Fu leave, now he would see just how fierce Tiger was, and whether he was more powerful than the anti-gang office.

I believe Tiger won't let me down.

Zhang Fan got up and went into a private room inside; he still had things to take care of.

Just as Zhang Fan was immersed in the heavy thoughts brought about by Li Fu, the wooden door of the private room was gently pushed open, and a breath of fresh air, accompanied by the sweet fragrance unique to young girls, quietly flowed in, breaking the stuffiness of the room.

Lin Youran walked in wearing a JK uniform.

The uniform was neat and appropriate, with a dark blue pleated skirt swaying gently, paired with a pure white shirt and a bright red bow at the collar, making her look youthful and energetic, yet retaining a girl's innocence and shyness.

Lin Youran's steps were light, each step seemingly leaving a faint fragrance in the air. Her bright eyes seemed to speak, sparkling with curiosity and tenderness towards the world.

Lin Youran gently placed her pink handbag on the chair beside her and looked up at Zhang Fan. At that moment, her eyes held both surprise and a hint of shyness.

Perhaps noticing the astonishment and lingering contemplation on Zhang Fan's face, her cheeks unconsciously flushed a rosy blush, like a peach blossom blooming in the morning light, delicate and captivating.

Without saying much, Lin Youran seemed to have mustered all her courage and slowly walked towards Zhang Fan.
