Seeing her like this, Chang Jing couldn't help but smile as well: "Then I'm relieved. With you here, the store will definitely be very lively."

Bai Mei was practically floating on air from the praise. She said happily, "Chang Jing, you should hurry up and go. I'll take care of things at the shop, so you can go on your business trip with peace of mind!"

Seeing Bai Mei's impatient manner, Chang Jing couldn't help but feel that her behavior was somewhat abnormal.

However, he didn't have time to think about it too much right now, because he had more important things to do.

After the two left the private room, Chang Jing handed the keys and ledger to Bai Mei, gave her a few words of advice, and then left the milk tea shop.

Bai Mei watched Chang Jing leave, her heart overflowing with countless pink bubbles!

Bai Mei arrived at the store with great interest and began to carefully familiarize herself with the environment and the store's procedures.

Although she often visits Changjing's milk tea shop, she is still very happy to be able to truly become a helper.

Bai Mei greeted each of the shop assistants and expressed her intention to help them over the next few days.

Everyone knew Bai Mei, and seeing that she looked so happy today, they all smiled at her.

Bai Mei walked around the store a few times to make sure she was completely familiar with the environment and procedures before heading to the counter to take over the store's affairs.

She proudly gave the shop assistant a thumbs-up, her eyes practically overflowing with joy: "Don't worry, everyone, from today onwards, I'm the owner of this bubble tea shop!"

The shop assistants looked at each other, still a little unaccustomed to Bai Mei's sudden self-address, but seeing Bai Mei's cheerful appearance, they acquiesced.

Bai Mei began to show her skills. She not only personally greeted each customer, but also ran to every corner to check, for fear that something might go wrong on her behalf.

If a small table isn't arranged neatly, Bai Mei will adjust it herself.

If a cup of milk tea doesn't meet Bai Mei's perfect standard, she'll ask the staff to make her a new one.

Although the shop assistants were exhausted from being chased around by Bai Mei, they couldn't say anything because of the boss's hard work, and could only do as she said.

...

Inside an abandoned factory, Lin Youcai looked at the thug whose head had been beaten into a pig's head and felt extremely annoyed.

This kid was bragging in the bar that he was going to beat up a rich kid, but when he was caught, he knew nothing and refused to reveal any information.

Under various beatings and interrogation, the kid remained as still as a dead pig, refusing to utter a single word.

Could it be that he was just talking nonsense while drunk, and he wasn't one of the guys who beat up his son? Did he really arrest the wrong person?

At this moment, a subordinate rushed in and said to Lin Youcai, "Boss, this kid's phone has been getting calls for the past few days. We answered it once, and the person on the other end sounded like an old woman; it must be his mother."

Upon hearing this, Lin Youcai's eyes lit up instantly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Youcai's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he sneered, as if he had come up with a brilliant idea!

Lin Youcai snorted coldly, signaled his men to bring the thug's phone over, picked up the phone himself, and said to the thug, "Fine, if you won't talk, then let your mom talk for you!"

Upon hearing this, the thug was startled and turned pale. He finally realized what his father was about to do and quickly shouted, "What are you doing! My mother has nothing to do with this, please let her go!"

Lin Youcai sneered and said to the thug, "Fine, it's up to you whether you talk or not. I have plenty of ways to find your mother, but if you don't talk, I can't guarantee what will happen to her!"

The thug felt a chill run down his spine, and his face turned deathly pale.

He knew that his weakness had been exploited by the other party.

He's a scoundrel himself, but if he drags his mother down with him, he'll never be able to live his life!

The thug looked up at Lin Youcai and said, "I...I'll tell you, please let my mother go, this has nothing to do with her!"

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Lin Youcai's eyes. He gave a simple snort and gestured for the thug to speak quickly.

The thug gritted his teeth, but the thought that Lin Youcai would definitely send someone to kidnap his mother made him even more anxious, like an ant on a hot pan. He racked his brains for a thousand and one solutions, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and told the truth.

"It was Scarface who told us to beat up Lin Xiangfu. Last time we just went to ambush him, gave him a good beating, stuffed an envelope into his pocket, and left."

Lin Youcai frowned, unable to recall when he had offended someone named "Scarface".

Moreover, how could a small organization possibly obtain their company's important data?

"Who do you work for? And who is Scarface, and what grudge do you have against me?" Lin Youcai asked coldly.

The thugs repeatedly denied it: "We're not working for anyone, we're just following Scarface's orders! When we get a mission, it's usually to rob or steal, we rarely meet face-to-face."

Lin Youcai snorted coldly and immediately ordered his men, "Investigate this scarred man's background and find out who he really is!"

The subordinates quickly agreed and began their own investigations.

Lin Youcai stared at the thug, his eyes devoid of any trust: "You'd better be telling the truth, or I can't guarantee your mother's safety!"

The thug's face turned ashen, and he repeatedly assured them, "Everything I said is true. As for why Scarface did this, I really don't know! Please, let me and my mom go!"

Lin Youcai sneered and gestured for his men to take the thugs away. He then sat down in his chair with a frown, beginning to ponder what Scarface's purpose was.

If what the thugs said is true, then they were just following orders and had no idea who the real mastermind was.

Could it be that I've offended someone recently, which is why I'm being plotted against?

Lin Youcai became increasingly frustrated. Although he held considerable power in Guangzhou, he also had to offend quite a few people.

If we were to actually investigate, it would be a very troublesome matter.

Just then, his subordinate rushed in and said to Lin Youcai, "Boss, we've investigated Scarface thoroughly, but there's no such person at all. Either it's an alias, or this thug is deliberately misleading us!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Youcai's eyes immediately darkened.

It turns out that his wild and cunning ways backfired, and he was fooled by this kid. It's outrageous!

Lin Youcai's face darkened, and he said coldly, "This brat dares to lie to me?! Bring him back here; I want to interrogate him myself!"

Upon hearing the boss's unfriendly tone, the subordinates quickly nodded and left.

A few moments later, several henchmen dragged the thug inside. The thug looked bewildered, seemingly surprised by the outcome.

Perhaps he thought his words would fool Lin Youcai, but he didn't expect to expose himself in the end.

A cold wind swept through Lin Youcai's eyes, and his tone was clearly filled with anger: "I've investigated for so long, where did this scar come from?! You're deliberately making things up, aren't you?!"
