Fang Mingzhe was the young master of the Fang family in Ruyuan. Among the many clan members, he was highly valued. At a young age, he already controlled a company worth billions, possessing noble status and high prestige, a goal many strived for their entire lives.
However, in Zhang Fan's eyes, Fang Mingzhe was merely an insignificant nobody. If he hadn't provoked Zhang Fan, Zhang Fan wouldn't have bothered with him.
Unfortunately, these rich second-generation individuals just loved to court disaster. Fang Mingzhe had meticulously plotted against Zhang Fan's mother, a move Zhang Fan absolutely could not tolerate.
If one provoked Zhang Fan, there might still be a way out. But if anyone dared to harm his parents or relatives, Zhang Fan would show no mercy.
If necessary, Zhang Fan wouldn't hesitate to use cruel methods to make an example of him and warn others.
This incident made Zhang Fan realize that the Su family seemed too weak currently, allowing even a Fang family disciple like Fang Mingzhe to provoke and threaten them.
Although Zhang Fan didn't have deep feelings for the Su family, it was still his mother's Su family.
There were relatives of Zhang Fan in the Su family, such as his cousin Su Ya, his maternal grandfather, and his maternal uncle. These relatives made Zhang Fan feel quite close.
And then there was Su Guoguo, who looked cute but always acted maturely, whom Zhang Fan quite liked.
Speaking of which, in the Su family, only the nominal second uncle's family was particularly disliked by Zhang Fan.
Therefore, Zhang Fan also decided to take this opportunity to let all parties in China know that although the Su family was a small family in Zhonghai, it was not a family that anyone could provoke.
Before taking action against Fang Mingzhe, Zhang Fan called his disciple Lin Haotian and asked him to use the intelligence system of the Dark Organization to investigate Fang Mingzhe and the Fang family thoroughly.
Upon learning that his master was preparing to deal with Fang Mingzhe, Lin Haotian immediately gathered all information related to Fang Mingzhe and handed it over to Zhang Fan.
He even volunteered to deal with Fang Mingzhe.
In his opinion, dealing with a mere Fang Mingzhe and having his master make a move was really overestimating him.
However, this time Zhang Fan intended to act personally, so he refused.
"Focus on your cultivation and reach the Divine Realm as soon as possible. That's what you need to do now," Zhang Fan instructed Lin Haotian.
Reaching the Divine Realm was difficult, especially for Lin Haotian, who cultivated the formidable external martial arts. This was evident from the number of Divine Realm experts in China.
But Lin Haotian possessed cultivation conditions that many lacked. He could freely use resources for body cultivation, his techniques for body cultivation were extremely profound, and he could even seek advice from Zhang Fan whenever he encountered difficulties.
Therefore, even though he had already entered the Saint Domain, Lin Haotian's cultivation speed remained extremely fast. All he needed to reach the Divine Realm was time.

"Fang Mingzhe, the second son of Fang Nan, the eldest son of the Fang family. He is highly valued by the Fang family. Less than half a year after participating in family affairs, he was entrusted with the important task of managing Zhongtian Construction, a construction company under Fang Group worth billions..."
"As expected of Fang Group, their foundation is indeed incomparable to a small family like the Su family," Zhang Fan couldn't help but sigh as he read this.
The Fang family so confidently entrusted a company worth billions to a young man who had been working for less than half a year, which could indeed be described as generous.
After all, if it were in the Su family, such an enterprise would be considered the economic lifeline of the entire family. Without professional knowledge or decades of experience, who would dare to entrust it to someone?
Su Yun taking over 'Hua Mao' was due to two reasons: first, Su Yun had spent several years at Hua Mao in her youth and had management experience; second, it was also because of Zhang Fan.
Flipping through Fang Mingzhe's information, Zhang Fan couldn't help but smile. It was no wonder Fang Mingzhe had meticulously plotted against Hua Mao; it was all commercial competition.
If it were fair competition, Zhang Fan would have nothing to say, regardless of the outcome.
But Fang Mingzhe was too arrogant. With even the slightest setback, his mentality would crumble, leading him to resort to underhanded tactics, attempting to coerce Hua Mao into a partnership for joint development...
"Originally, you could have died peacefully, but it's your bad luck. I'll make an example of you to warn the world." That day, Zhang Fan made a decision on how to deal with Fang Mingzhe.
...
With the support of the Dark Organization's intelligence system, Zhang Fan could easily keep track of Fang Mingzhe's movements at any time. Therefore, when Zhang Fan went out to take action the next day, he had a clear direction.
On a bustling commercial street in the center of Linzhou City, there was a bar called 'Hongchen Pavilion.' According to Zhang Fan's knowledge, Fang Mingzhe would be drinking there tonight.
Although 'Hongchen Pavilion' had a name that sounded rather martial, its decoration and design were undoubtedly the most luxurious and unique in Linzhou.
Ninety percent of the young people who came here to party were rich second-generation individuals from Linzhou, and the remaining ten percent were rich second-generation individuals from out of town.
After all, with such high per capita consumption, even if ordinary people could afford it, they wouldn't come.
At night, with the neon lights and wine, Hongchen Pavilion played comfortable, slow English songs, creating a warm and ambiguous atmosphere that was most suitable for getting drunk and relaxing.
Having been unable to contact Longcheng for two days, Fang Mingzhe hadn't slept well. Today, a friend had taken the initiative to invite him, so he came to Hongchen Pavilion to relax.
Few people in Zhonghai could be considered friends by Fang Mingzhe, as in their circle, status and prestige were the primary factors in making friends.
Those with a weaker family background and no outstanding abilities would naturally be hard-pressed to catch his eye.
This time, the invitation came from Xu Luo, the eldest young master of the Xu family, known as the number one young master in Zhonghai.
Xu Luo was one of the very few people in Zhonghai whom Fang Mingzhe considered a friend.
Xu Luo was the eldest son of Xu Donglai of the Xu family. Xu Donglai was the eldest among the five siblings of the second generation of the Xu family.
And the current head of the Xu family was Xu Donglai.
Xu Donglai controlled the economic lifeline of the Xu family and was the contemporary head of the family, so his influence within the Xu family was immense.
Apart from the Xu family patriarch, who had long been inactive, Xu Donglai's word carried the most weight.
Xu Shichang ranked third in the Xu family and was usually referred to as Xu Lao San by outsiders. Although Xu Lao San was unruly, he was very obedient to his elder brother's words.
Just like with the Su family, it was because his elder brother had ordered him not to pursue past grievances with the Su family. Otherwise, with Xu Lao San's vindictive nature, how could he have let it go so easily?
Although Xu Luo grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, under Xu Donglai's strict upbringing, he was fortunate enough not to become a dissolute, troublemaking rich second-generation individual.
Xu Luo had high emotional intelligence and was very skilled, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to consistently hold the position of the number one young master in Zhonghai.
After all, among the younger generation, family background was undoubtedly important, but if you were just a foolish young master who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun, who would acknowledge your status?
