Chapter 176: Chapter 176

Lin Fan invested 20 million, saving Wang Xiangqian’s company, and acquired a girl group, which was exactly what Feng Tianming had abandoned.

As a result, Feng Tianming mocked Lin Fan for having poor judgment.

Lin Fan calmly proposed a bet to see whose girl group would be more successful in the future, his or Feng Tianming’s.

Feng Tianming became intrigued: "Since you’re asking for humiliation, I’ve no reason not to oblige. A bet it is. What’s the wager?"

Lin Fan said coolly, "One hundred million."

It was like a thunderclap.

Everyone was startled. Lin Fan’s bet was too harsh, casually wagering a billion!

Wang Xiangqian and Ning Xiaoyue were both taken aback. After all, they’d never seen that much money in their lives; to them, it was a number beyond imagination. Yet to Lin Fan, it was just a casual bet.

Feng Tianming’s face twitched. Although he was Feng Wanshan’s son, he was not Feng Wanshan, and coming up with one hundred million was not easy for him.

Lin Fan smiled and said: "Well, Young Master Feng, do you think that’s too much? If it is, I can lower it a bit."

Feng Tianming immediately replied. If it was lowered, he’d lose face. He couldn’t afford to lose face in front of Lin Fan.

"One hundred million it is! Who’s afraid of whom?"

Despite feeling a bit uneasy inside, Feng Tianming still maintained a calm demeanor.

Then he thought to himself that he was sure to beat Lin Fan, so he wasn’t anxious anymore and became happy.

"Lin Fan, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Your girl group is just the trash I discarded. You picked up my trash and still want to beat me? Just wait and see, prepare that hundred million for me!" Feng Tianming became even more smug.

Lin Fan replied: "Words alone don’t hold up. Why don’t we record a video to prevent either of us from going back on our word."

Feng Tianming nodded readily: "You know, I hadn’t thought of that, let’s do it!"

So, the two recorded a video, agreeing that whichever girl group had a better performance on the talent show would receive an investment of one hundred million from the other.

The bet was cruel, with the loser having to invest a hundred million in the winner, a double punishment indeed.

But for the victor, it was a dual happiness—winning the competition and getting an extra one-hundred-million investment.

Feng Tianming was brimming with confidence: "I’m bound to win this bet! Sweetheart, I’ll say it again, once your company goes bankrupt, come to me!"

This last comment was directed at Ning Xiaoyue.

Ning Xiaoyue retorted coldly: "Ugh, who’d want to be with you, you shameless scoundrel!"

To her, Feng Tianming was too detestable. If not for Brother Lin stepping in, her boss would have been driven to suicide by him.

Feng Tianming sneered: "You really don’t know what’s good for you! You’ll regret it sooner or later, hahaha..."

Lin Fan smiled and said: "There’s nothing for Young Master Feng here, shouldn’t you be leaving? Or do you want to fight me?"

Feng Tianming shivered and quickly slipped away.

When he passed by the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, he was stunned for a moment.

Lin Fan had a 70 million Kosak and another 8 million Cullinan!

This guy seemed more like the son of a billionaire than he did!

As the son of Yun City’s richest man, he was nothing compared to Lin Fan.

"Damn, wait till I win that one hundred million and buy an even more expensive car!"

Feng Tianming thought viciously as he got into his own car, which was worth only 2 million, and drove off angrily.

Soon after, Feng Tianming received a call from Brother Dashui.

"Young Master Feng, I have successfully contacted The Panther for you. When do you plan to invite him to Yun City?" Brother Dashui asked.

Last night, Lin Fan’s victory over Muay Thai Li San caused the Feng family to lose face, and Feng Tianming couldn’t swallow the insult, so he asked Brother Dashui to find a master to deal with Lin Fan.

Feng Tianming thought for a moment, then said: "Let’s put that aside for now. I’ve got a better way to deal with Lin Fan and earn a hundred million while I’m at it!"

Feng Tianming felt he was sure to win against Lin Fan, so he canceled the decision to bring in The Panther to handle Lin Fan, as the opportunity for big money was right in front of him.

After dismissing Feng Tianming,

Wang Xiangqian and Ning Xiaoyue were still in shock.

"Brother Fan, is a hundred million too big of a risk? What if we lose..." Wang Xiangqian expressed his worries.

Lin Fan calmly said: "Don’t worry, that amount is just small change to me. There’s no need for you to feel any pressure. Besides, who says we’re destined to lose? I’m really optimistic about Xiaoyue."

Ning Xiaoyue blushed, not expecting Lin Fan to have such confidence in her.

"Brother Lin, what should I do?" Ning Xiaoyue asked.

Lin Fan replied: "Just focus on preparing for the competition."

Ning Xiaoyue nodded earnestly: "I will give it my very best!"

Wang Xiangqian furrowed his brow inadvertently, showing a bit of concern. Ning Xiaoyue was indeed very beautiful, like a doll, but the issue was her lack of singing and dancing skills, and with the competition approaching, he truly felt uncertain...

"Brother Fan, we haven’t seen each other for so many years, how about we have dinner together tonight?" Wang Xiangqian suggested.

Lin Fan checked his watch: "Let’s do it another day. Tonight, I’m meeting some brothers for KTV."

Wang Xiangqian caught a glimpse of Lin Fan’s Rolex, his eyes lighting up; Brother Fan was definitely wealthy, undeniably wealthy.

He couldn’t help but grow curious. In his memory, Lin Fan was just a rural kid, so how did he become so wealthy, driving an 8 million Rolls-Royce, investing 20 million at a whim, and casually betting a hundred million with Feng Tianming?

"Brother Fan, what kind of business are you in now?" Wang Xiangqian couldn’t help but ask.

Lin Fan replied: "Me? I’m delivering packages."

Wang Xiangqian and Ning Xiaoyue were both taken aback, thinking they had misheard.

"What, delivering packages?" Wang Xiangqian stammered, then chuckled as he came to a realization, "I get it, Brother Fan owns a delivery company, right? No wonder, delivery companies are profitable; the CEO of Zhongtong Express is one of the three magnates in our Yun City."

Lin Fan smiled: "No, I’m really delivering packages, just a courier, really, working for Zhongtong."

Wang Xiangqian was dumbfounded again: "..."

Being a courier pays this well?

Lin Fan said: "If you don’t believe me, why not join me at the KTV."

Wang Xiangqian, truly curious, discussed with Ning Xiaoyue and decided to go to the KTV with Lin Fan.

So the three of them got into the Rolls-Royce Cullinan and headed to Ginza KTV.

On the way, Lin Fan suddenly received a phone call.

Lin Fan took out his phone and saw it was from Liu Bing’er. Last night, Lin Fan had accidentally saved Liu Tingshan, an elderly man who fell ill on the road, and met his granddaughter Liu Bing’er.

The two had exchanged contact details, but Lin Fan hadn’t thought much of it. He didn’t expect Liu Bing’er to remember.

Lin Fan answered the call, "Miss Liu?"

On the other end came Liu Bing’er’s voice: "Brother Lin, are you free tomorrow?"

Lin Fan replied: "Yes, what do you want?"

Liu Bing’er said: "My grandpa wants to meet you to thank you in person. Are you available to come to our house for lunch tomorrow?"
