When Manager Liao saw the middle-aged man in brocade robes arrive, he knew things were going badly; he had messed up.

This matter even alarmed the manager of Jubaoge.

Fighting is strictly prohibited at Jubao Pavilion; this is a clear rule. It would have been better if he hadn't been there. But not only was he there, he also condoned their violence. He can't escape this charge.

However, he still held onto a sliver of hope, as he usually had a good relationship with the shopkeeper and hoped that he could be lenient.

"Greetings, Manager Qian."

The other staff members of Jubaolou bowed to the visitors.

He bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Manager Qian. How did I disturb you, sir?"

Manager Qian glanced at him but ignored him, instead giving a smile as he surveyed the crowd.

When he saw Ren Xiaoyang, he roughly understood what was going on, but he still greeted him politely.

"The young city lord is here too, it's so lively here."

Ren Xiaoyang looked a little unwell, but he still returned the greeting respectfully.

"The Treasure Pavilion has a vast collection of treasures; let's broaden our horizons today."

After greeting him, Manager Qian didn't continue with the pleasantries. He then looked at Qin Feng and the others, as well as the four men lying on the ground.

He turned to Director Liao and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

He wore a smile and appeared calm, but Supervisor Liao's heart skipped a beat. Was he going to handle things strictly by official procedures?

Supervisor Liao decided to make one last desperate attempt.

"It's like this, this young lady has taken a fancy to a golden core stage eagle, but it was reserved in advance by Young Master Ren."

They had a disagreement, and before we could stop them, they were already fighting. We never expected to alarm you, the shopkeeper.

Manager Qian glanced at him indifferently. "Oh, really?"

Manager Liao broke out in a cold sweat, but forced himself to reply, "Yes, you can ask Young Master Ren and Xiao Ya if you don't believe me."

After he finished speaking, he deliberately looked in Xiaoya's direction, his gaze filled with coldness and a clear sense of threat.

Xiaoya also pursed her lips, looking somewhat nervous.

The customers at the scene looked at Manager Liao strangely. They didn't know what had happened before, but they could see clearly what happened afterward.

What do you mean it was too late to stop him? It's that he never even considered stopping him! How shameless!

They despised the fact that Qin Feng and his group could lie so easily, but they wouldn't stand up for them, especially since the young city lord was also involved.

They simply watched the show quietly from the sidelines.

Upon hearing this, Young Master Ren had an idea and decided to help Manager Liao. With him around, things would be much easier at Jubao Pavilion in the future.

"That's right, that's exactly it. I paid a deposit, and they're just being unreasonable."

Manager Qian still didn't say anything.

Those watching the show were speechless; they were in cahoots and had conspired together.

Manager Qian looked at Xiaoya and asked softly, "Xiaoya, tell me."

At this moment, Manager Liao, the young city lord, the other staff of Jubaoge, and the customers all looked at Xiaoya.

This put a lot of pressure on the young girl.

They also wanted to see how she would respond—whether she would yield to Supervisor Liao and his group, or fight back desperately.

Xiaoya's feelings are also very complicated right now, with two voices arguing incessantly in her mind.

The two ideas argued endlessly.

Should we tell the truth or succumb to lying?

She didn't know how to answer.

At this moment, Yin Tiantian walked to her side and gently patted her shoulder.

Xiaoya turned her head and looked at him.

Yin Tiantian told her, "Just tell the truth, don't worry, with your junior brother here, everything will be fine."

After she finished speaking, she gave Qin Feng a wink.

Qin Feng was speechless. "Don't drag him into your bragging."

However, he listened to Yin Tiantian and nodded to Xiaoya.

When Xiaoya saw Yin Tiantian's encouraging gaze and Qin Feng's calm and confident affirmation, she felt at ease and knew what to say.

Facing Manager Liao's fierce gaze, Xiaoya calmly said:

"He's lying. Things aren't as he says at all. This girl has already chosen the monster, and we're all going to pay the bill."

Manager Liao then came out and said that there was a reservation, but they had no evidence whatsoever. According to the rules of Jubao Pavilion, this was invalid.

Moreover, it wasn't as Manager Liao claimed—that he couldn't stop them in time—he didn't stop them at all, allowing the customers to fight.

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the heavy pressure on her body disappear instantly, and she felt relaxed all over.

Manager Liao's expression turned extremely ugly, and his icy eyes stared intently at Xiaoya.

Director Xiaoyang of Shaocheng also looked unpleasant.

However, he dared not scold the people of Jubaoge in front of Manager Qian.

The other customers also looked at Xiaoya with some surprise. This girl was really bold. One was a leader, and the other was the young city lord. She really dared to do that.

Manager Qian looked at Xiaoya with some surprise. He could guess what had happened, but he didn't expect this girl to be so headstrong.

He gave Xiaoya a gentle smile, his expression full of appreciation.

In the blink of an eye, he calmly asked Supervisor Liao, "This is different from what you said. Should I ask someone else?"

Manager Liao swallowed hard, knowing things were going badly. There was no need to ask anymore; he could only threaten Xiao Ya, not everyone was afraid of him.

It's easy to choose between offending the shopkeeper and offending him.

He simply confessed his guilt, knelt on the ground, and begged for forgiveness from Manager Qian.

"Shopkeeper, it was my carelessness that made me forget about Young Master Ren's request. He has already paid the fee, it's all my fault."
