When Cao Jinghui met with Chen Fan at the Stone Peak Tea Garden, he was extremely emotional as Chen Fan had spared his family. He also presented his most valuable bargaining chip, trying to make peace with Chen Fan.
"Cao Jinghui, you are indeed very smart."
At that moment, Chen Fan had offered such an evaluation of Cao Jinghui's action.
"At this point, no one can change the outcome. Your chip is worthless in my eyes -- even without you, this dog, I can still take over everything from the Qing Gang!"
"I'm telling you, Cao Jinghui, if it wasn't for my brother falling for your daughter, you would already be lying in a coffin!!"
Similarly, he was also humiliated by Chen Fan to the point of losing face.
However... as Chen Fan said, he really was a clever individual.
As the saying goes, those who can read the room are the real heroes.
