Chapter 123: The Pan Family’s Newspaper Will Now Belong to The Lu Family!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Pan Qi never expected Lu Zhi to personally come to settle the score!
To him, a big shot like Lu Zhi would not never care about such small matters!
But he had indeed come!
Pan Qi was a little scared but he quickly calmed down.
He had already joined forces with the Tao family. The Tao and Lu families were equally powerful. If they really fought, it was still uncertain who would win!
“You are on my family’s territory. Did you have my permission to barge in like that?”
“No,” Lu Zhi answered confidently.
“Alright then. I’m calling the police to arrest you…”
Pan Qi pretended to take out his phone.
Lu Zhi said calmly, “Young Master Pan, before you make the call, it’s best to
ask your parents who owns this newspaper.”
“Are you kidding? For as long as I can remember, this newspaper belongs to the Pan family! Don’t tell me that you’ve bought this newspaper! Even if you are willing to pay a high price for it, my dad will never sell it!” Pan Qi thought that Lu Zhi was just scaring him, so he didn’t take what he said seriously at all.
Lu Zhi snapped his fingers.
Qi Feng walked up and handed a document to Pan Qi.
“This is the share transfer agreement for Express Times. Just an hour ago, all the assets under the Pan family, including this newspaper, were transferred to Mr. Lu.”
“I don’t believe it!” Pan Qi shouted.
“You can’t not believe a legally recognized document.” Lu Zhi sneered. “Listen up, everyone! Get ready to change today’s headline. Change it to ‘Instant downfall of the once glorious Pan family, all because of Pan Qi!’.”
People at the newspaper office all looked at each other, not knowing if they should believe his words.
Pan Qi said rudely, “Why are all of you just standing there? Are you going to believe the words of this lunatic? Start the work at hand immediately!”
“Let’s see who dares,” Lu Zhi said in a deep voice.
The employees were more inclined to believe Pan Qi. After all, he had been the young master of Express Times for twenty years. However, when they saw Lu Zhi’s imposing manner, they also felt that what he said was true…
Therefore, other than Pan Qi’s confidants, most of the newspaper employees stood frozen and did not dare to move.
Pan Qi was furious.
These employees were nothing but dogs in his eyes!
Anyone who was disobedient would be kicked out!
“How dare you disobey me? I’m going to fire all of you!”
Pan Qi was furious and shoved the employee standing nearest to him.
The other employees trembled in fear and were about to do as told when Lu Zhi’s men suddenly moved forward, captured every employee who listened to Pan Qi and tied them up good.
The men then walked towards Pan Qi.
“What are you guys doing?” Pan Qi retreated slowly.
Qi Feng cracked his knuckles and smiled. “To beat you up, of course. I already thought you were an a**hole when I saw you in school earlier. Now, I’ll let you have a taste of the Lu family’s methods.”
Qi Feng didn’t teach him a lesson in school because Lu Zhi didn’t give him the order.
Now that Lu Zhi had approved, Qi Feng naturally wouldn’t show mercy.
Three to five men surrounded Pan Qi and started to beat him up.
In the spacious newspaper office, screams rose and fell.
About ten minutes later, the beating stopped.
Lu Zhi walked up to Pan Qi, looked down at him and said, “Apologize to my wife. Otherwise, don’t even think about walking out of here.”
Pan Qi stared at him and gritted his teeth, refusing to say anything.
“Whack him until he complies,” ordered Lu Zhi.
As soon as he finished, Qi Feng and his men happily moved forward.
Pan Qi felt pain all over his body, as if his insides were being torn apart! If the beating continued, he would surely die!
Between life and dignity, he chose life without hesitation!
“I’m sorry! Young Madam Lu, I failed to recognize you. I’m really sorry for provoking you!” Pan Qi apologized with his eyes closed.
Jiang Yining smiled. “I don’t want such an insincere apology. Mr. Pan, why don’t you go to school tomorrow and apologize to Xiaoxi and me through the school’s PA system?”
This b*tch was deliberately humiliating him!
He used the school’s PA system to smear her and Ye Xiaoxi.
And now she wanted him to use the school’s PA system to apologize!
This was too much!
“What? Are you unwilling?” Jiang Yining raised an eyebrow.
“I… I’m willing!”
Pan Qi thought that he’d brush off these two first, and then find his father and Tao Siyuan before he settled the score with them!
“Remember what you said. If you don’t keep your word, you won’t just get a beating.”
“Okay, okay.”
Pan Qi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Lu Zhi pointed with his jaw.
Qi Feng immediately understood and walked up to help Pan Qi up.
Pan Qi thought that Qi Feng was there to beat him up again and shivered in fear.
Qi Feng smiled and teased, “Young Master Pan, don’t be scared. I won’t hit you without Sir’s order.”
“I’ll walk by myself. I don’t need you to help me.”
Pan Qi got up and limped away.
But as soon as he reached the door, a figure suddenly barged in. “All Qi…”
Pan Qi walked right into that man but he wasn’t angry at all!
Because he could tell that the person who barged in was his father!
The humiliation, anger, and grievance in his heart instantly exploded. He complained, “Dad, what took you so long? Look at how Lu Zhi has beaten me up! Quickly send someone to get Tao Si…”
Before he could finish, Mr. Pan raised his hand and slapped him hard in the face!
“B*stard! What did you do to make CEO Lu so angry?”
Mr. Pan flew into a rage and wished that he could beat his son to death!
He was away for only half a day, and all kinds of problems cropped up at the businesses owned by the Pan family. Several shareholders also took turns to withdraw their investments and demanded that he compensate them for all their losses!
The Lu family also visited him and asked to buy all their family assets on the grounds that his son had been rude to the young madam of the Lu family.
They even said that it was fine if the Pan family refused to sell, but after tonight, the Lu family would expose to the whole world their tax evasion practices.
When that happened, the Pan family would have no place in A-City!
And no money!
He had no choice but to sell everything the Pan family owned to them.
When he thought about how the assets that his ancestors had painstakingly accumulated would disappear in a single day, he wished he could stuff Pan Qi back into his mother’s womb and pretend that she never gave birth to him!
“Dad, why are you helping an outsider and not me? I’m your biological son!” Pan Qi’s eyes were red as he looked at his father resentfully.
“You know very well what you have done!” Mr. Pan punched him. “Go home! Go home now! Express Times no longer belong to our family. Stop embarrassing yourself here!”
When he said that, Pan Qi wasn’t the only one who was shocked.
The newspaper employees’ expressions changed too.
In the next second, as though someone pressed the reset button, everyone in the office started working quietly and changed the headline according to Lu Zhi’s instructions.
Pan Qi was stunned for a long time before he realized that Lu Zhi was telling the truth!
His father had actually sold the newspaper that the Pan family had run for 120 years to Lu Zhi!
