After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 760: Treating Her as a Conquest Target

Chapter 760: Chapter 760: Treating Her as a Conquest Target

Fan Yanshu was unaware that Assistant Sun was worrying about his safety.

That pretentious spiel was deliberately told to Assistant Sun.

The purpose was to have Assistant Sun relay it to Quan Jinbei, ultimately achieving the goal of provoking him.

In his view, if he couldn’t lay a hand on Shi Yaoguang, he could absolutely approach from another tricky angle.

If cracks appeared in Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei’s relationship, whatever he wished to do afterward would be a piece of cake.

With such thoughts, he was quite confident in himself.

However.

Quan Jinbei soon made him understand the cost of arrogance.

The calamitous words spoken by Shi Yaoguang had actually been taken seriously by Quan Jinbei.

Under the worried gaze of Assistant Sun, Quan Jinbei left the office and deigned to meet Fan Yanshu, even suggesting a friendly exchange to compare their skills.

Fan Yanshu was pondering how to showcase his abilities in front of Shi Yaoguang when he heard Quan Jinbei’s proposal, and his heart was immediately tempted.

And then he acted.

The consequences of his action...

Or rather, the price he paid after acting, was horrendous.

Being pinned to the ground and beaten one-sidedly by Quan Jinbei was the only outcome he had never envisioned.

Originally, when he agreed to compare skills with Quan Jinbei.

He had his little schemes.

It was said that Quan Jinbei had previously been frail.

A frail person would definitely be a pushover.

He could flatten him in a minute.

Then Shi Yaoguang, witnessing his prowess, would surely despise Quan Jinbei for not being manly.

He could then take the opportunity to trample on Quan Jinbei and show off.

Perhaps Shi Yaoguang would even start a new romance.

Thinking so, he couldn’t help feeling excited.

Of course.

Life has not just set realities, but also surprises.

He had also considered the possibility of being slightly inferior to Quan Jinbei.

By then, he could just complain about it to Shi Yaoguang, who would certainly feel sympathetic.

He believed he had anticipated every possible scenario.

He just never expected to lose so miserably.

Misery beyond words is just that.

Being beaten up wasn’t the worst part.

The worst part was being beaten up in front of the person he confidently intended to impress.

He had completely lost face.

At such a time, he couldn’t even concern himself with continuing his plan to play the victim and elicit sympathy.

He genuinely felt he was too vulnerable.

He didn’t need to feign misery.

He was truly pitiable.

Fan Yanshu’s face was filled with frustration as he was pinned to the ground by Quan Jinbei, receiving a one-sided beating.

The action of "pressing down," in some contexts, carries a romantic connotation.

But at this moment, that was out of the question.

There wasn’t even the atmosphere for a proper beating.

Quan Jinbei was holding back as he hit him.

After all, with his skill, killing Fan Yanshu with one punch wouldn’t be hard.

He was now akin to a max-level boss who had disguised himself as a newbie in a starter village.

Fan Yanshu was but a naive alt character he thought he was proficient in.

Shame had reached home.

No.

This was far beyond mere shame.

Fan Yanshu was left without the face to speak of it.

After the beating, he didn’t even demand an explanation from Quan Jinbei.

He slinked away disheartened.

Assistant Sun personally saw off the man whose face was so swollen it bore no resemblance to normality, feeling a hundred percent sympathetic toward him.

Pitiable.

He was truly too pitiable.

After this incident, Fan Yanshu didn’t show his face for a full two months.

The SATA Group, it was unclear if they were persuaded or had other plans, but they also didn’t show up.

This was convenient for Quan Jinbei.

Quan Jinbei’s people had already made the necessary arrangements.

They were just waiting for the SATA Group to walk into the trap.

The SATA Group had no idea about Shi Yaoguang’s preparations; they probably hated Quan Jinbei to the bone.

As for why?

What kind of existence is the SATA Group?

Their shareholders came in person to negotiate, yet the Quan Family didn’t show any stance at all.

No.

It was more than just showing no stance.

Quan Jinbei almost beat Fan Yanshu to death.

This was worse than showing no stance!

Thinking of this, Quan Jinbei became a thorn in their side, a pain in their flesh.

No matter what means they used, they had to deal with Quan Jinbei.

Otherwise...

Who would take the SATA Group seriously?

In order not to be underestimated, they had to take down the Quan Family.

Little did they know, the foundation of the Quan Family was far more substantial than that of the SATA Group.

Their previous financial contraction was just for charity.

Their perceived weakness was never on the same level as what was assumed by others.

By the time the SATA Group’s people belatedly realized this, it was already too late.

To feed oneself to the tiger, that’s exactly what they were doing.

Of course, this was all in hindsight.

For the time being, the SATA Group still regarded the Quan Family as a weak group they could manipulate as they pleased.

As for why they were so short-sighted...

This was probably why they were on the decline.

So they say, don’t court death unnecessarily, otherwise...

It’s oneself who will suffer in the end.

For the SATA Group, how they would end up in the future was still unknown at this moment.

After Fan Yanshu was beaten up by Quan Jinbei, he seemed to have quieted down; he didn’t provoke Shi Yaoguang anymore, nor did he show any intentions toward the Quan Family.

But his undercover activities had never stopped.

He had even created more than twenty different plans.

The goal of these plans was only one.

That was...

To conquer Shi Yaoguang!

Shi Yaoguang found this out herself when she went to investigate his residence.

Fan Yanshu had been staying in a hotel all this time, and if he hadn’t caused trouble, Yaoguang would naturally not have taken him seriously.

However, he was unrepentantly wicked.

Having his face beaten up so that he couldn’t show it in public, he still sent quite a few little tails to follow Yaoguang.

Yaoguang obviously couldn’t tolerate this.

Plus, she was also very curious about Fan Yanshu’s objectives and wanted to know why he was doing this.

That was when she went to investigate at the hotel.

Of course, the hotel’s security was very tight.

But no matter how tight the security, it was not good enough under her cunning skills.

Quan Jinbei learned that she wanted to investigate Fan Yanshu’s motives and personally accompanied her on a visit.

Seeing the notebook that Fan Yanshu had hidden away, Quan Jinbei’s face turned dark immediately.

He regretted not having beaten Fan Yanshu up for a longer time.

Fan Yanshu’s plans included "playing the hero", "playing hard to get", "striking first to gain advantage", "the beauty trap", "the bitter meat ruse", and so on.

They almost covered every aspect of the thirty-six stratagems.

He even incorporated the "empty fort strategy" into his plans.

Seeing his strategies, Shi Yaoguang felt even more disgusted with Fan Yanshu.

If Fan Yanshu had merely been planning to use her to take over the Quan Family, she could have understood.

Wheeling and dealing in the business world is normal, and she could fully understand if it was a case of each side trying to outdo the other.

But Fan Yanshu’s way of exploiting people’s feelings as a target for conquest was something that made Shi Yaoguang very uncomfortable.

What she had initially intended to brush aside lightly, she now had to reconsider.
