Although Guiyuan Star is the most remote and backward, it is still a planet!
It is one of the five major planets of the Beichen Empire!
The Fan family is just a small baron, but by controlling a planet, they can expand their power and realize their ambition to climb up.
Zong Ruoan asked them to give up half of their manpower with just one sentence, destroying their years of pursuit and dreams. It was really easy for him to say that without any regrets!
Fan Bowei's face was gloomy, his brows furrowed. After a long while, he said, "Master Zong, can you give me a day to think about it?"
"One day? Do you think it'll take that long?"
Fan Bowei smiled bitterly and said, "The daughter of the Quan family will stay in our Dafu Commandery for another day. She will leave Guiyuan Star the day after tomorrow morning and return to Zangge Star. Could you please just give the Quan family a favor? After the daughter of the Quan family leaves, take Chengcai away with you?"
Zong Ruoan thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible. But I want to stay in the Fan family until you hand over Fan Chengcai."
"Of course, of course."
Fan Bowen wiped the sweat from his head and sent Zong Ruoan out of his study.
He also wanted Zong Ruoan to stay in the guest room of the Fan family's territory, but Zong Ruoan refused without hesitation.
This time he brought his own Hawk fighter jet and didn't need to stay in someone else's house.
After Zong Ruoan left, Fan Bowen contacted Fan Chengqi and Fan Chengcai and asked them to come over.
Fan Chengqi and Fan Chengcai have been feeling uneasy.
After receiving Fan Bowei's message, he hurried over quietly through the tunnel in his villa.
In Fan Bowen's study, Fan Chengqi and Fan Chengcai came out from the secret door hidden behind the bookcase.
"Dad, what's going on? What does Master Zong mean?" Fan Chengcai was the most anxious. He came up and asked about the situation in a hurry.
Bang!
Fan Bowei finally couldn't help it and slapped him.
"You unfilial son! It's all because of you! I, your father, am old, but I still have to bow down to a young man who is the same age as my son!" Fan Bowen scolded Fan Chengcai angrily.
Fan Chengcai was slapped by Fan Bowen and fell against the wall, almost having his front teeth knocked out.
Fan Bowei is also a genetic evolver, so of course he didn't just slap someone casually.
Fortunately, Fan Chengcai is also a genetic evolver, otherwise Fan Bowen’s slap would be so powerful that it could kill an ordinary person.
Fan Chengqi hurried forward and grabbed Fan Bowei's arm, saying, "Dad, let's talk things over nicely. There's no point getting angry. Now that it's happened, let's think of a solution."
Fan Bowei held his hand and sighed, "The Fan family is lucky to have you, Boss. From now on, the Fan family will rely on you!"
Fan Chengqi thought, the Fan family is mine, so what is there to rely on?
He smiled and said, "Dad, what exactly does Zong Shao mean?"
Fan Bowei stated Zong Ruoan’s previous conditions.
Fan Chengcai was the first to disagree, shouting, "Why?! I became deputy director based on my own abilities, why should I give up my position?! And you want to sentence me to death?! We nobles have criminal immunity!"
Fan Bowei kicked him and sneered, "You rely on your ability? What ability do you rely on? The ability to get into trouble?! — I told you long ago, either don't do it, or do it cleanly and neatly! Look at all the things you've done over the years, you're afraid others don't know it's all you did, right?!"
"Criminal immunity? Do you really think killing people isn't illegal?! Do you think those you killed were all humanoids?!"
Fan Chengcai was frightened out of his wits.
He suddenly looked up and looked at Fan Chengqi, as if he wanted to say something.
But Fan Chengqi shook his head slightly.
Fan Chengcai had no choice but to suppress the anger in his chest and said, "...Dad, I was wrong. Please don't hand me over to the Department of Justice, okay? Once I'm in the Department of Justice, many people there have a grudge against me. There's no way I'll get out! I'll definitely be sentenced to death!"
Fan Chengqi also advised, "Dad, Chengcai sometimes goes too far. Fortunately, this time it's just about those past events. He won't be sentenced to death, right? Did Master Zong mention the incident with the Night Hunter at the Mulan City checkpoint a few days ago?"
Fan Bowei snorted and said, "So, it's better for Master Zong to come to us because of these past events than to be attacked by the Night Hunter!"
"At least, the Special Security Bureau won't let us become extinct, but the Night Hunters can't guarantee that!"
Fan Chengqi pondered for a moment and said, "Dad... maybe the Night Hunters won't? Think about it, Chengcai hasn't actually caused them any harm. If they're worried about losing face, why don't we... ask someone to pass on a message to their higher-ups? Give them some benefits?"
"Also... we can't just keep developing our power in public. We also need to secretly maintain good relations with organizations like the Night Hunters and the Light Spirit Alliance."
Fan Chengqi's words touched Fan Bowen's heart.
He nodded with satisfaction and said to Fan Chengcai, "Learn more from your brother! In the future, when you do something, either don't take action at all, or if you do, you must succeed at all costs! Do you hear me?!"
Fan Chengcai nodded vigorously: "Remember this, Dad! From now on, I will make sure I am sure before I strike! Once I strike, I will show no mercy!"
"That's right. Even a lion will use all its might to fight a rabbit. Don't be careless in the future." Fan Bowei sat down, drank a cup of tea, and said, "But what about this matter of Master Zong? Do you have any ideas?"
