61: Chapter 61: Reporters Surround Him, He Gets a Slap in the Face on the Spot!

Wang Defu's face turned deathly pale, and the letter in his hand almost fell to the ground: "He... how did he come back so fast? And he brought reporters?!"

Lin Hao was startled at first, then cursed angrily: "Those bastards from the Long family! How ruthless! Why did they suddenly turn back? They want a trial by public opinion, to ruin our reputation!"

Chen Fan, however, was exceptionally calm. He saw several reporter vans screeching to a halt at the gate, led by none other than the smug-faced Wang Deshun!

Behind him followed seven or eight reporters carrying cameras and holding microphones, all of them acting like they were on stimulants, clamoring to charge the gate.

"Uncle Wang, don't panic!" Chen Fan pressed down on Wang Defu's trembling shoulder, his voice steady as an anchor. "Put the note away safely! Leave the rest to me!"

After speaking, he turned to Xiao Zhi: "Activate all the hidden surveillance in the acquisition station, record everything! Also, project the evidence of Wang Deshun's overseas crimes onto the courtyard wall!"

"Received! Projection countdown: 1, 9, 8..."

"Lin Hao!"

"Here!"

"Guard the gate, don't let the reporters rush in!" A cold glint flashed in Chen Fan's eyes. "I'm going to make Wang Deshun lose all reputation first!"

Before his words faded, a loud BANG! Wang Deshun kicked the gate open!

A cigarette dangled from his mouth, his face twisted in a smug, vicious grin as he pointed at Wang Defu's nose and shouted: "Wang Defu! You old fool! You dare not give me the money? Today, I'll let my reporter friends see exactly how you seized the ancestral property!"

The reporters surged forward, thrusting microphones towards Wang Defu's mouth.

"Mr. Wang! Is it true that you illegally seized your brother's property rights?"

"The Long Group has expressed willingness to provide legal aid to the victim. What is your view on this?"

Camera flashes went off like crazy, blinding Wang Defu. He trembled with anger, his lips quivering, unable to utter a single word.

Seeing this, Wang Deshun became even more brazen. He snatched a microphone from a reporter and ranted, spraying spittle: "Everyone listen up! This acquisition station originally belonged to my Wang family! My father back in the day..."

"Your father, back in the day, already left all of this to Uncle Wang!"

A cold voice suddenly rang out from beyond the crowd!

Chen Fan walked forward slowly, instantly capturing everyone's attention.

Seeing Chen Fan, Wang Deshun's face changed slightly, but he soon puffed out his chest and cursed: "Who the hell are you? What right do you have to speak here?"

"Who am I?" Chen Fan sneered, pressing forward step by step. "I am Chen Fan, founder of the Panshi Foundation!"

"So you're the person in charge of this factory," Wang Deshun said with a look of disdain. "Hand over the money now, or get the hell off my family's property."

"What does this property have to do with you?" Chen Fan's sharp shout cut him off.

At the same moment, the large LED screen outside the office suddenly lit up!

"Bzzz—"

After a blinding white flash, what appeared on the screen were stacks of crystal-clear bank statements and entry records!

Most prominent were three cross-border remittances from the Cayman Islands—totaling five hundred thousand!

The remittance times and account numbers were clear as day!

"Wang Deshun!" Chen Fan pointed at the screen, his voice echoing through the courtyard. "Four days ago, you received this five hundred thousand, didn't you? It was from the Long family, right? To have you come back and harass Uncle Wang, trying to extort twenty million!"

Wang Deshun's face instantly turned as white as paper!

Wang Deshun was somewhat panicked by this sudden evidence.

Lawyer Zhang, standing nearby, seeing the situation turn sour, quickly interjected: "Where is this evidence from? Is its authenticity guaranteed?"

"You'll have to ask Wang Deshun that," Chen Fan said, not answering directly but deftly tossing the question back to Wang Deshun.

The reporters swiveled their heads in unison towards Wang Deshun, the camera lenses instantly focusing on him!

"M-Mr. Wang! Is this true?" a reporter asked.

Wang Deshun, flustered, stammered in defense: "N-No! You're lying! This is... this is from a friend!"

"A friend?" Chen Fan scoffed, pointing at the screen again. "Then tell us, why does this 'friend' of yours have a direct connection to the Long Corporation's overseas capital pool?!"

On the screen, a clear chart of fund transfers between Star Sea Capital and the Long Corporation was displayed for all to see!

The evidence was irrefutable!

Wang Deshun was utterly panicked now, his legs trembling!

A cold glint in his eyes, Chen Fan gave another order: "Xiao Zhi! Project the second batch of evidence!"

"Zzzzt—"

The screen changed, displaying photos of Wang Deshun gambling lavishly in an overseas casino, police transcripts of him defrauding elderly people, and surveillance footage of two minor drug transactions!

Every photo, every transcript, was perfectly clear!

The courtyard instantly erupted in an uproar!

"My god! This Wang Deshun is a gambler *and* a fraudster!"

"And drug dealing? That's a prison sentence!"

"The Long Corporation is actually helping someone like this with a lawsuit!"

The reporters' stance reversed in an instant!

Microphones were thrust towards Wang Deshun's mouth, the questions growing sharper and sharper!

Lawyer Zhang, seeing the situation was nearly uncontrollable, slipped away sideways through the crowd.

Wang Deshun's face was ashen. Unable to answer the questions, he collapsed to the ground, muttering to himself: "No... it wasn't me... the Long Corporation forced me... they made me do it..."

It's over!

Completely over!

Looking at the ironclad evidence on the screen, he knew he was finished.

Wang Defu looked at his hopeless younger brother, feeling both angry and a pang of pity.

Chen Fan walked over to him and gently patted his shoulder: "Uncle Wang, it's alright now."

Just then, the sound of police sirens grew closer!

Several police cars sped into the courtyard!

The lead officer got out, walked straight up to Wang Deshun, and held up handcuffs: "Wang Deshun! You have been reported for suspected fraud and drug transactions. You are now formally under arrest!"

The cold handcuffs clicked onto Wang Deshun's wrists.

As he was escorted by the police past Chen Fan, he shot Chen Fan a venomous glare but didn't dare say a word.

The reporters swarmed forward, chasing the police car, frantically filming. They already had their headlines ready—Long Corporation Hires Scumbag for Extortion, Gets Slapped in the Face! Wang Deshun Arrested on Multiple Charges!

Just then, Xiao Zhi's mechanical voice sounded again, tinged with urgency:

"Boss! The Long Corporation's legal department has issued a statement, claiming this matter has nothing to do with them, that it was Wang Deshun's personal actions! The Long Corporation was also deceived by Wang Deshun, which is why they provided him with free legal aid."

Chen Fan sighed inwardly. The Long Corporation was fast.
