"No problem, we are both businessmen, as long as you don't intrude on my affairs in the future, and we both mind our own business, I will never disturb you again!" Chen Fan touched his chin. "When you have prepared the five 500 million, put the money in a sealed iron ship, and then I will give you the coordinates. And just send the iron ship there."
"Okay!" Abadi was furious.
"What goes around, comes around." This was the best way to describe Abadi's feeling at this time.
Of his kidnapped crew, the vast majority of people would immediately pay the ransom, not because of how valuable the goods on the ship were. In fact, even if he kept the crew, and only returned the cargo, Abadi would still get the ransom.
Abadi finally tasted the feeling of the businessmen who he had blackmailed. In just half an hour he had lost 13 pirate ships. As long as this goes on, the submarines would make the pirates that fell into the sea panic, and they would probably leave, so Abadi had to agree with Chen Fan's deal.
...
"This is the consequence for blackmailing me."
Sitting on the sofa, Chen Fan was filled with emotions. What would happen if he didn't have this electric eel avatar? If he didn't, this trip to the Gulf of Aden would make the small cargo ship merchants panic!
It would take three days to get the money, and Chen Fan controlled the electric eel to a place more than 30 miles northeast, lurking in a deep hole in the bottom of the sea, as a temporary shelter.
"Five hundred million." At the current exchange rate, that translated to 4.13 billion RMB.
Nearly 4.5 billion, what an enormous number.
"When I get the money, I have to renovate a villa with stat-of-the art updates, preferably by the seaside, and then another villa on the small island near the electric eel's cave. Thus, with the electric eel, a sea monster's protection, even if it could not make the ships and submarine sink, it could at least help Chen Fan to flee through the sea.
When the electric eel was settled, Chen Fan went to the second-floor window and looked at the lake in front of him and mumbled.
The reason for doing so was simple, and while Chen Fan knew that the chances of his opponent getting revenge were small, it was always right to guard against it.
But Chen Fan never regretted that he did so. There would always be resentment just because people couldn't forget and forgive, and it didn't matter about right and wrong.
Or it could be said as: even if you know it's going to get worse and worse, you still go into it, because you're not a coward!
For example, the pirates had taken the ship and more than 30 employees to ransom for $50 million. If Chen Fan did not have the ability to retaliate, he could only bear it and swallow his anger and could not even report it to the police.
But on the contrary, Chen Fan not only had the ability to retaliate, he also had the nerve to ask himself if he should just be a coward or fight back?
Besides, as long as Abadi is not crazy, he would not dare to get into trouble with Chen Fan again. In just over half an hour, he had sunk 13 of Abadi's pirate ships. Abadi is probably now terrified to death!
Revenge is also to measure the strength of the other party first. Chen Fan has an electric eel, and can unscrupulously attack the ships.
But what does Abadi have?
Send some pirates to assassinate him?
Come on!
Regardless if they asked the crew for Chen Fan's phone number, beyond finding Chen Fan's location using his phone number, he would need to send someone to China, and then search the company's internal system, according to the received signal to calculate the signal tower mobile location.
Everyone knows the meaning of the proverb, cut the weeds and dig up the roots, and from the fact that Chen Fan could destroy his 13 ships in half an hour, if there were not a large military force in it, it was weird!
Abadi is not a fool. Even if he knew Chen Fan's location, he also had to consider that today's scene could repeat itself, unless he was sure to get rid of the "submarine" and the power behind the "submarine."
"Abadi, I'm sure you don't want to know the taste of your whole army annihilated."
Shaking his head, Chen Fan walked into the living room.
...
At about 11 o'clock in the morning, his parents came back from the sea with Yun Meng, and there was still the excitement of seeing the sea on the little face of Yun Meng.
The endless ocean. Even Chen Fan, who dealt with it every day, from time to time had to sigh about the magnificence of the ocean, not to mention a person like her who had never seen the sea before.
On the lunch table, Chen Fan's mother received a phone call from his youngest uncle in the Ganba district, saying that they would move to the new house tomorrow, and they were inviting Chen Fan and his family to gather with them.
"Son, you don't go tomorrow, take care of Meng Er at home!" Chen Fan's mother said to Chen Fan after talking on the phone.
"Okay!" Chen Fan was eating rice out of a bowl and did not look up.
His youngest uncle was 25 years old that year, just got married less than seven months before, and his wife gave birth to a chubby baby boy. It was a typical example of a shotgun marriage. He probably made a fortune doing business over the past two years, just bought a car not long ago, and was ready to move into a new house.
At eight o'clock the next morning, after his parents had said a few words to him, they left for Ganba district that was more than 70 miles away.
Since he had nothing to do that day, Chen Fan sat on the sofa and watched the news channel. As for the Yun Meng, she stayed in the room and did not know what to do!
"Brother Chen… Can you take me to sign up now?" Yunmeng timidly came to the sofa, fidgeting with the corner of her shirt and said. She knew Chen Fan for only a short period and could not be as close as with her aunt.
"Sign up now?" Chen Fan put down the remote control and looked at her questioningly. "Not planning to play a few days more? You know, going to school is like going to jail, and then you will have no freedom, and you have to do your homework every day."
Yun Meng was stunned and silently looked at Chen Fan with her eyes wide open, not knowing what to say.
According to her, if she can learn every day, it would be the happiest thing in life. She couldn't imagine that there were people who thought that school was like going to jail.
"Well, don't look at me with that strange look!" Chen Fan spread out his hands. "I just said my opinion. If you want to go to school earlier, I will contact them for you now."
"Okay," Yun Meng said with a soft tone. "Thank you brother Chen Fan!"
"Welcome." Chen Fan turned off the TV and stood up. "Do you have your household register? It seems to require a household register for the procedure."
"I have it. I'll get it now!"
"Then you go and get the household register first. I'll make a call to my friend," Chen Fan said as he took out the phone and called Zhang Xueyang.
"Hey, what's the matter?"
"Are you free now? I'm going to take my relative to register. What did they say? You have to go with me, or I have to find the person in charge?
"Wait a minute, I'll ask my dad. I've no idea on this matter!" The sound of climbing stairs came from the phone.
After about a minute, the silence in the line was broken by Zhang Xueyang.
"My dad said, you go straight to that Huang... Huang..." Zhang Xueyang turned again asked his father, and said, "is the principal Huang Guangyu. You go to his office and say you are Chen Fan. My dad has informed him about you. You won't even need to pay the procedure fee. You will only need to pay the tuition fee."
"Thanks!"
"Why all the manners? We are bros, right?" Zhang Xueyang said with a tone filled with brotherhood, "Wait for my birthday on the 15th next week. You can send me a Bugatti Voyage!"
"I'll give you an F22 Raptor!"
...
On the way to Yucai High School, Yun Meng held her household register like she was holding a gold bar and was looking at Chen Fan who was driving and about to say something but stopped.
It took a long time to gather up the courage, and Yun Meng was hesitant to speak out.
"Chen... Brother Chen, can... can you take me to buy a bag first?"
"What, a school bag?" Chen Fan turned his head in surprise and looked at Yun Meng as if he were looking at an alien. "Those aren't even used by kindergarteners now. It would be a pain to carry big and small bags to school every day."
"Then... Then..." Yun Meng asked in a doubtful tone, "Then how will I carry my books?"
In fact, Yun Meng could not be blamed for asking this. Remote areas and coastal developed cities, not only their own way of life, even students' study habits were very different.
In their place, if you go to school and don't carry a backpack, your seen as the bad student. Even in poor families, they would use a school bag even it was made out of a rag.
"Well... " Chen Fan spent a long time thinking. It seemed that none of his classmates had carried their school bags. They just threw two books into the bicycle basket, while the female classmates...
"Well," Chen Fan said, looking over his shoulder. "I'll help you buy one, that... that type of satchel. You only need to bring back some of the books you need each day."
In silence, the car quickly reached the Yucai High School, which had eight words that meant filial piety and honesty written in Chinese on the tall high school building that was glistening in the bright sunlight.
"Yucai High School." Chen Fan looked at the eight flash typed words on the building, and his heart was mixed with feelings.
This was Chen Fan's former middle school and high school, the best high school in Zhongyun City. With Chen Fan's achievement, it had been a big miracle for him to have gotten a place there.
As a matter of fact, Chen Fan's grades were always in the top 10 of the class when he was in primary school.
But when English became a master class, Chen Fan soon found himself in tragedy.
In his memory, he had scored more than 60 points in English in the first month of the exam, and all the other examinations had never exceeded 40. The damn school also arranged the students in the examination room according to their results, which caused Chen Fan to give up after trying to copy the answers from the next table.
His English teacher, the head teacher, brought him into the office every day to memorize vocabulary words. It took him at least half a day to memorize them. His endurance and perseverance were absolutely touching, for a full two years. This made Chen Fan completely disgusted with the psychology of learning. And then online gaming came along, consuming all the youngsters.
So, like many bad students, Chen Fan was slowly depraved by all kinds of factors.
Chen Fan didn't drive his car into school, even though the doorman had pushed the remote door to the limit.
He parked the car at the gate of the school. Under the doubtful look from the guard, he took Yun Meng and entered the school, a familiar and unfamiliar school for him.
"Eh? Lao Wang, look at this man, doesn't he look like the person a few years ago, that... that... "
"That person who, in three months, six times in a row, pulled out the teacher's bicycle valve, and then was caught by us." The man who was called Lao Wang was drinking cheap tea and staring at Chen Fan's back.
"No problem, we are both businessmen, as long as you don't intrude on my affairs in the future, and we both mind our own business, I will never disturb you again!" Chen Fan touched his chin. "When you have prepared the five 500 million, put the money in a sealed iron ship, and then I will give you the coordinates. And just send the iron ship there."
"Okay!" Abadi was furious.
