Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 663 - 286: You Little Runt, Just You Wait!_2

...

Han Lie's tea spot wasn't far from Sinan Road, but by the time he had arrived at the Pan family's home, Pan Shengwu had already rushed back in a hurry. Entering the teahouse, he began to prepare the tea.

His mother-in-law, who had personally washed some fruit, beamed at the sight of Han Lie.

"Han Lie, why haven't you been over to our place recently?"

Han Lie recalled his last visit. Um, it hadn't even been a week... Are you preparing for me to move in or what?

Despite his internal commentary, Han Lie's response was quite serious, "I've been too busy to even catch my breath lately. I've just finished a meal with Manager Guan from International Group."

Zhao Anni was even more delighted.

She really liked Han Lie's ambitious nature and was genuinely happy to see how easily he had managed to open up opportunities.

"Manager Guan, huh... Principal Zhang's half-brother, a bit rigid but flexible when needed. How was your conversation?"

That was an incredibly accurate description.

Han Lie replied with a smile, "Thanks to Principal Zhang's intervention, it went smoothly. I've already come to an agreement with Manager Qiu from the guarantee company."

"Good."

Zhao Anni smiled contentedly and complimented Han Lie, "The stock market has taken a beating recently, and even my girlfriends are impressed with you. If you ever run into any trouble, just come directly to us. If Old Pan can't handle it, Aunty might have a way. Do you get me?"

"Absolutely!"

Old Pan immediately joined in with a joke, "Kid, what you don't understand is that the influence of a woman's 'pillow talk' can seriously get things done!"

Zhao Anni ignored him.

She carefully placed a plate of large strawberries, a plate of mango pieces, and a plate of seasonal green grapes from Australia in front of Han Lie, then smiled and took her leave.

Well, Panzi's standing in the family hierarchy just took another hit...

Next, the two brothers thoroughly exchanged opinions on the current international situation and internal environment.

As for what Han Lie was supposed to do, he had pretty much covered everything already. Now, there were only two major matters in front of him—

First, handing over the net that was entangling Gu Yong to Panzi, letting him slowly reel it in.

Second, in response to all possible reactions from Gao Diaomao, continue to tighten the noose.

Panzi asked many questions, not stopping until he fully understood all of Han Lie's intentions. Then he slowly began to summarize.

"In this matter, you've done exceptionally well. There's not much I can point out to you, except one thing—don't rush.

Right now, you should drag things out with Gao Diaomao as much as possible. The more desperate he gets, the more you need to stay stable.

Wait until you've wrapped up the projects with SPD Bank and the Magic Capital Bank. By then, he will be at his greediest, most trusting, and most impatient with you.

Furthermore, by that time, your relationship with Manager Qiu should have reached a certain level of closeness. Bringing him in to help you set the final trap would give you the best chance to kick Gao Diaomao into the mire, ensuring he never rises again.

I'm no longer in a position to be involved in this project. Plus, my guarantee company isn't a state-owned enterprise, so my blade isn't sharp and won't hurt much.

So, you need to stay calm. Either you don't do it, or if you do, do it thoroughly! I think after the New Year will be a good time. I'll help you poke around Gao Diaomao's old connections over the holidays…"

Big Brother Panzi!

Han Lie was incredibly moved, wishing he could prostrate himself in gratitude.

Where else could he find such an excellent older brother?

Generous with both money and effort...

And Old Pan's advice was very reliable and shrewd.

It's all scamming, after all. Deceiving a private enterprise is just commercial fraud, but deceiving a state-owned enterprise is embezzlement of state assets, an unforgivable crime.

The guarantee company is backed by the Magic Capital International Group. Above the Magic Capital International Group is the Magic Capital State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and way up there is the municipal government...

Good gracious, who knows if he's got the guts to play that big...

The brothers chatted, sipped tea, ate fruit, and puffed on cigars, all pleasant and carefree until Annie came in to ask if they were hungry. Then, looking at the clock, it was nearly 12.

Panzi opened his mouth as if to say something, then thought better of it.

Zhao Anni had no such reservations, cheerfully speaking, "It's quite late. Han Lie, why not stay in our guest room?"

The sly Han Lie made a show of politely declining, "No, that wouldn't be convenient, would it? The hotel is not far, and besides, the driver is waiting for me outside…"

Cheng Shi broke down crying in the Benz—Boss, you still remember I'm in the car, practically imprisoned?!

"It's convenient, very convenient! We have so many empty rooms…"

Zhao Anni brought out 120% enthusiasm, insisting on having him stay.

"It's not too late now. But if you have some late-night snacks and a couple of drinks later, it will be really late! So, ask your driver to go back and rest. Arrange a time for him to pick you up tomorrow. Auntie will go prepare some food and drinks for you now!"

Sigh!

Han Lie sighed in feigned frustration.

What's considered irresistible hospitality? HAHAHAHA...

When it was time for the late-night snack, Pan Ge came down with a cold face—her mother had specifically called her down.

The ever-submissive Pan Ge looked unhappy and unwilling, barely exchanging a few words with Han Lie. However, when the scoundrel discreetly nudged her foot with his toes under the table, she didn't resist.

Is she just a natural submissive, after all?

After the late-night snacks, Annie arranged for Han Lie to stay in the guest room on the first floor, while Pan Ge's bedroom was on the second floor, seemingly determined to maintain her daughter's propriety.

However, Zhao Anni quickly went back to sleep on the third floor, leaving the two of them downstairs.

What's the difference between this and putting a big rat in a rice barn?!

There were only external surveillance cameras at Pan Ge's house, no internal ones—after all, not every family has a pervert like that 'Little Green Kid' character...

So, Han Lie covertly approached Pan Ge, who was pretending to eat fruit on the sofa.

"What are you doing?"

Miss Pan didn't mince her words, righteously scolding, "This is my house!"

"I know," Han Lie chuckled mischievously, lifting her chin with his index finger, "but I bet you don't dare to scream..."

Fucking hell, our Brother Lie doesn't need any tricks to play a seducer; it's all genuine, raw emotion!

"Get lost! I'll never satisfy you, not if I die!"

Pan Ge felt that she had resisted forcefully, so after cursing, she closed her eyes with an air of solemn purity, maintaining a pose with her chin lifted and her head slightly raised.

Han Lie was taken aback. How could her lines be so impactful?

Then he nodded in deep agreement. "True, one 'death' for you wouldn't be enough to get much done..."

Pan Ge got frantic and resisted even more vigorously—just a tad—and as a result, she nearly had her 'sentence' carried out right in the living room.

Eventually, she got scared and immediately caved.

"Big brother, big brother, let's go to my bedroom! I was wrong. Whatever you want, just for today, okay?"

That night, one JK uniform was ruined, one white and one grey pair of silk stockings each, along with various other garments.

Pan Ge ended up with a leg cramp, a sore throat, and an aching back and knees. The next day, she still couldn't bring herself to sit on a hard chair, opting instead to laze in bed at home.

Zhao Anni didn't come to call her until after 9 a.m., quite pleased with her daughter's radiant and glowing appearance.

My little girl is finally getting straightened out!

...

Han Lie and Panzi had breakfast together, left the house together, and got along famously while chatting over the morning news at the dining table.

The domestic sphere clearly couldn't contain them anymore; their exchange of opinions had to focus on international news.

Getting along so well, Panzi, caught up in the moment, forgot Han Lie's previous misdeeds and casually made an empty promise—

"Lie," he said, "if you ever have trouble matching a watch to your outfit, come find your Uncle at home!"

Logically speaking, Old Pan had made plenty of empty promises in the past without any serious repercussions; they were usually forgotten once the moment passed.

But wouldn't you know it, Han Lie seized the opportunity on the spot.

"Oh! What a coincidence! I'll be going home for the holidays in a few days, and I was thinking of buying a couple of watches for my parents. I was just worrying about how to choose... Uncle, I'll be counting entirely on you then?"

Old Pan wished he could slap himself right then and there. Serves you right for running your mouth!

He hastily laughed it off, "Definitely need to pick carefully... So, which brand were you thinking of buying?"

"I'm fine with anything!"

Han Lie waved his hand generously, decisively concluding the matter, "Before I go home, I'll come to you!"

In Pan Shengwu's despairing eyes, the cunning Han Lie patted his rear and got into the Mercedes that had come to pick him up. He rolled down the window and waved cheerfully at his father-in-law, "Bye-bye! Have a safe trip, Uncle Pan!"

Get lost, get lost, get lost!

Panzi waved his hand impatiently and grumpily got into his Phantom.

As his anger simmered, it eventually turned into an exasperated laugh.

That little rascal, thinks he's got me wrapped around his finger, does he?

Fine. His son's future parents-in-law need gifts, don't they?

Just you wait! On the third or fourth day of the New Year, our family of three will personally deliver them to your door!
