Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Chips

“That’s right, it was all me, what about it?” Fang Hao gritted his teeth in admission.
“Heh, nothing much!” Xiao Han shook his head and said, “It’s a principle of mine, live and let live, but if someone crosses me, I will retaliate. Since you targeted me, don’t blame me for responding in kind. I’m definitely going to post this video online.”
“You’re insane!” Fang Hao gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t think you can ruin me without consequences. You’ll destroy yourself as well. By spreading the video, you’re suspected of publicizing someone’s privacy, and besides, this is essentially the dissemination of pornographic material. You could be sentenced for this.”
“You think I’m stupid?” Xiao Han said with a disdainful laugh, “I could spend a few hundred bucks, and there will be loads of people willing to help me upload it. This has nothing to do with me!”
“You are so despicable, so shameless!” Fang Hao’s face suddenly turned pitch black.
“In terms of despicability, is there anyone who can compare to you?” Xiao Han said with disdain, “As for shamelessness, can anyone catch up to you? Your ex-girlfriend had four abortions for you and still, you kicked her to the curb. Can you be any more heartless? Li Ruobing is miserable enough; how can you still have the heart to deceive her?”
Li Ruobing shivered as she looked at Fang Hao.
“Deceive her?” Fang Hao laughed scornfully, “I’m gracing her. There are plenty of girls at the school who want to chase after me. It’s her honor that I chose her. Besides, without me, could she have sat in a Ferrari? Does she even know what a cliffside romantic restaurant is? Could she have experienced a five-star hotel?”
Slap!
Suddenly, Li Ruobing swung a slap across his face.
“Enough!” Li Ruobing glared at Fang Hao, “So all the things you said to me were lies!”
“Heh, those were just sweet nothings to chase a girl!” Fang Hao laughed, “Li Ruobing, surely you didn’t really think I, Fang Hao, would love only you for the rest of my life, did you? Let me give it to you straight, you were just a fling for me. At my age, how could I possibly tie myself down to one woman forever? You’re thinking too much!”
“You!” Li Ruobing was almost spitting blood with anger, completely disregarding her complete nakedness as she flung herself at Fang Hao.
The two of them began wrestling in the hotel room.
Seeing the situation, Xiao Han stepped back a few paces.
“Alright, that’s a wrap!” Xiao Han called out, then coldly walked away.
Zhang Feng quickly followed him out.
While walking downstairs with the camera, Xiao Han was silent. Zhang Feng hastily said, “Are we really not going to do anything? Li Ruobing will definitely lose out fighting Fang Hao!”
“If she doesn’t lose out, how will she ever grow up?” Xiao Han said with a smile, “Maybe, she’ll mature through this opportunity.”
“Okay then!” Zhang Feng nodded.
Xiao Han smiled and said, “Let’s go back and organize the material. Fang Hao will definitely come to us to negotiate!”
“Yeah!” Zhang Feng nodded.
Then, the two of them quickly got into the car and sped away from the hotel.
Back at the dormitory, Liu Bin was beaming with excitement. Today’s tracking and filming drama was like a television program, incredibly exciting. It was a different kind of thrill. “Damn, that was too epic,” Liu Bin exclaimed with excitement.
“Heh heh…” Zhang Dagou laughed and then said, “Too bad the old man didn’t see it.”
“Xiao Han, what do we do next?” Liu Bin asked eagerly, “Should we upload the video next and start the verbal and written attack against Fang Hao?”
“No!” Xiao Han shook his head.
“Then…” Liu Bin looked at Xiao Han, puzzled, “I was already preparing to contact the Tuishou Company, getting ready for them to help boost the story. Planning to make Fang Hao famous across China, to fame out of this world. Ha ha…”
“That approach would only cut off our retreat!” Xiao Han smiled and said, “It’s not the best option for us, it’s a burn-all-bridges approach.”
“You plan to use the video as a bargaining chip?” Liu Bin immediately grasped Xiao Han’s intent.
“Yes,” Xiao Han nodded, “It seems we can only do that now. As long as we have leverage, we don’t have to worry about him not listening to us. On the contrary, if we upload the video now, it would provoke Fang Hao, and no one knows what kind of unreasonable things he might do. Now, we can only use the video to blackmail him slowly and make him obediently follow our lead.”
“Right, that’s a good approach!” Zhang Feng nodded, “I prefer this too.”
“I agree!” Zhang Da agreed, “If we turn against him, we might end up on the losing side. After all, Fang Hao’s background is there to see!”
After some discussion, they decided to keep the video and wait for Fang Hao to come to negotiate.
Xiao Han’s thoughts were simple.
In the hotel, after Fang Hao beat Li Ruobing severely, he stormed out of the room. Li Ruobing was left crying desperately in the hotel, nearly collapsing. She hadn’t imagined that the man who had always spoken sweetly to her was actually a liar. Although Fang Hao’s bad reputation was well-known, she thought he had had an epiphany. It just proved the saying, a woman in love has zero intelligence.
“`
Fang Hao knew that his life might be ruined.
His life was about to face a significant downturn. Returning to school, Fang Hao spoke to Zhu Dawei about the situation. Filled with guilt, Zhu Dawei said, “Haozi, I’ve let you down this time. They threatened me using my girlfriend!”
“Don’t blame yourself!” Fang Hao patted Zhu Dawei on the shoulder before adding, “This time it’s my fault, I’ve dragged you into this mess!”
“So what do we do now?” Zhu Dawei asked worriedly, “They’ve recorded your video, and knowing their nature, they will definitely spread it. Moreover, they will use their usual tactics to hire internet trolls to stir up controversy, and the media will surely get involved. You’re finished then. Plus, given your unique identity, if you get dragged into this, considering the current Chinese mindset of resenting wealth and officials, they will surely have the media expose your father as well. If your dad isn’t clean, then it’s all over!”
Reminded by Zhu Dawei, Fang Hao’s face turned even more ashen.
“Fuck, how could I not have thought of that?” Fang Hao said with a troubled look, “What am I supposed to do? Damn it, isn’t this driving someone to a dead end?”
“Haozi, you’d better take the initiative to talk to them!” Zhu Dawei urged hastily, “Hold them off first, don’t let them release the video. Then you can find something on them to hold as leverage, and you won’t have to be afraid of them anymore.”
“Yeah, you’re making sense!” Fang Hao nodded.
After all, his father’s prospects were more important, so Fang Hao didn’t dare delay.
The next day at noon, Fang Hao hurried to Dormitory 101.
It was lunchtime, Xiao Han and his roommates were eating in the dorm. It was the peak hour for dining. The computer science department had finished classes early today, so Liu Bin took advantage of his situation to get meals for all his dorm mates.
They had just arrived at the dorm to see the steaming hot meals, which greatly excited them.
“Oh, look who’s here, our esteemed guest!” Zhang Dagou instantly spotted Fang Hao entering. He grinned and said, “What a rare visitor.”
“Heh heh…” Liu Bin chuckled.
Fang Hao’s face was pale with anger as he walked in and looked at Xiao Han and said straight to the point, “Xiao Han, what do you want?”
“Fang Hao, that’s not the right way to talk, is it?” Xiao Han carelessly began picking at fish bones again.
Ever since last time he saw Xiao Han eat fish, Liu Bin knew that Xiao Han liked fish, so he simply got him a few braised crucian carp. Although the fish was delicious, it had many bones and required careful, slow eating. Xiao Han didn’t even lift his head.
Fang Hao said coldly, “You! What do you want?!”
“Beg me!” Xiao Han replied with a faint smile.
“You bastard!” Fang Hao was about to throw a punch.
Right away, Liu Bin interjected, “Hey, don’t hit anyone, or don’t blame us for not being polite.”
Bang!@@novelbin@@
Zhang Dagou, who was nearest to the door, quickly closed it and said, “Start a fight, and you’re no match for us!”
“Fang Hao, since you’ve come to ask for help, you should at least look like you’re asking for help!” Zhang Feng advised earnestly.
“Son of a bitch, don’t think I’m scared of you!” Fang Hao said through gritted teeth, “I’m not afraid of you. You think a video can threaten me? Haha, too naive, let me tell you…”
Before he could finish, Xiao Han laughed and said, “Of course I’m not just threatening you, I’m threatening both you and your dad. Can any Political Bureau official have a clean record?”
“You!” Fang Hao’s face turned cold instantly, not expecting Xiao Han to have considered so much. Xiao Han’s words were undoubtedly a strike at Fang Hao’s Achilles’ heel, leaving him speechless. Fang Hao’s tone softened a lot, and then he said, “Tell me, what will it take for you to give me the video back?”
“You’re thinking too much,” Xiao Han shook his head and said, “Right now, you’re only qualified to wait for us to set the terms of negotiation, not to think about trading with us.”
“Then tell me, what will it take for you not to upload the video online!” Fang Hao said urgently.
“It’s simple!” Xiao Han smiled and said, “Be obedient to me from now on, and I guarantee the video won’t spread on the internet.”
“Are you planning to control me over the long-term?” Fang Hao asked coldly.
“Exactly!” Xiao Han nodded, then added, “It makes perfect sense.”
“Not at all!” Fang Hao shook his head, “I need a one-time solution. For instance, I can compensate you with one million, or even two million. Just give me the video, and it’s done. How about it?”
“That’s out of the question!” Xiao Han was still indifferent, “The video will never be given back to you. You can leave.”
“Then tell me, what will it take for you not to upload the video online!” Fang Hao said urgently.
“First, compensate Li Ruobing with five hundred thousand for damages; second, post an apology on the Shuimu University forum admitting you were the mastermind behind the previous forum controversy,” Xiao Han looked at Fang Hao and said, “How about it, these two conditions aren’t too much, right?”
