Chapter 101 White Dew Stabilizes the Big Boss
A plump figure at the back of the crowd turned and left as soon as it saw the man's face.
They moved incredibly fast, as if afraid of being discovered.
When the onlookers saw the more brutal and familiar faces appear, they all stopped in their tracks.
Let's continue to see if the situation can be reversed.
"Tell me, who do you want to pay compensation and apologize?" The man's devilish voice, like a thunderclap in the night, demanded payment.
The beating jolted Li Bingkun awake, and he instinctively opened his mouth: "Bai..."
Suddenly, the foot on the throat exerted force.
Li Bingkun couldn't utter a sound at all.
"explain."
The demonic voice rang out again.
Li Bingkun wasn't stupid. Judging from the expressions on the faces of those around him, he could tell that he had definitely messed with someone he shouldn't have.
He tried to beg for mercy, but the man's murderous face dismissed him with disdain, clearly indicating that those who disobeyed would die.
Li Bingkun had no choice but to speak again, answering the devil's question: "White..."
Suddenly, the foot on the throat exerted force.
The rest of the sentence was immediately swallowed back down.
"explain."
The man's murderous face grew increasingly terrifying, as if he would take the life of the person beneath his feet if they did not answer.
Despite the excruciating pain from his fractured bone, Li Bingkun managed to utter a trembling voice: "Bai..."
His throat was crushed again.
"explain!"
Li Bingkun: "..."
Let go of my foot and let me speak!
The more Wen Xiuyun looked, the more she realized that Xiao Cheng was acting strangely today. In the past, no matter how cruel and ruthless Xiao Cheng was, he would just beat people up and that would be the end of it. He would never torture people like this.
Whether it was the rumor or the time Liu Tiezhu bullied Bai Lu, Xiao Cheng dealt with the person directly without saying a word, his face showing no expression other than murderous intent.
He seems to be venting some pent-up emotion; his face looks very irritable.
Her behavior was also somewhat uncontrollable; she tormented the bearded man to the point of near death, then kicked him away.
The bearded man bumped into a telephone pole and couldn't get up, but Xiao Cheng still wouldn't let him go.
After giving a cold laugh, he slowly walked over, seemingly intending to continue the torture.
If this continues, people will die.
Wen Xiuyun told Old Li to watch the stall for a bit, then hurried back to find Bai Lu.
She had seen Xiao Cheng's fierce expression, and she had also seen him with a gentle demeanor in front of Bai Lu.
Bai Lu should be able to persuade Xiao Cheng, right?
At the corner, two figures nearly collided. Upon recognizing who they were, Wen Xiuyun immediately pulled them back.
"Hurry to the market! Xiao Cheng is going to kill someone!"
Bai Lu's expression changed: "What's wrong with him?"
"This is what happened..."
At the entrance of the market, more and more people gathered to watch, forming layers upon layers of a dense crowd.
Beneath the telephone pole, a man with a face full of rage and murderous intent stood with his foot planted on the bruised neck and throat, about to exert force.
“Acheng.”
The gentle, clear voice stood out amidst the murmurs of the surrounding chatter.
The man's gloomy eyes paused slightly. He turned around, his gaze piercing through the crowd and landing precisely on "her".
Bai Lu, who couldn't squeeze through the crowded throng for a long time, finally ran to his side after the big shot's gaze swept over her and sent the crowd scattering.
Pull his hand and back, then step back.
He stepped back three paces before speaking softly, "Weren't you here to buy groceries? Why did it take you so long?"
Xiao Cheng glanced at Bai Lu's clothes, his cold gaze softened, then turned back to look coldly at the half-dead person on the ground.
The meaning is self-evident.
On the way here, Bai Lu had already learned the truth from Wen Xiuyun.
Knowing full well that at this moment, they had to get the stubble-faced man to reveal the truth in order to salvage Xiao Cheng's reputation, which had been solidified by gossip after he lost control and tormented someone.
"You said there was something wrong with our roasted chestnuts, that they made your wife sick. Who is your wife? What time did she come to buy the chestnuts this morning? How many did she buy? Was anyone else present when she bought the chestnuts?"
Bai Lu asked while giving Wen Xiuyun a meaningful look.
Wen Xiuyun immediately understood, quickly ran to the convenience store next door to buy a bottle of mineral water, and came back to wake Old Li up.
Old Li was a perceptive man. When he was feeding water to the unconscious stubble-faced man, his old and weathered hands trembled slightly, and the water spilled onto the man's face.
Li Bingkun was woken up by the splash of water, and he had no idea what Bai Lu had just said.
Opening his eyes and seeing the demonic face again, he was so terrified that he immediately begged for mercy: "Please, please let me go..."
"I'll never do it again. I promise I'll disappear right now, go as far away as possible, and never show my face again. Please, spare my life, let me go..."
The extent of his torture was evident to everyone around him; his bones were probably all dislocated. Now, hearing the pleas for mercy, his gaze towards Xiao Cheng was filled with fear.
Fear was mixed with a lot of rejection.
Bai Lu, holding Xiao Cheng's hand, coldly asked the stubble-faced man, "Who is your wife? Are you sure she got sick from buying roasted chestnuts from Aunt Wu's fruit stand?"
"No." Having been reprimanded, Li Bingkun dared not lie again.
Seeing the man's still gloomy and fierce expression, she quickly clarified: "I don't have a wife, and I've never bought any roasted chestnuts from Aunt Wu's fruit stand. I made all of this up; I just wanted to extort money from Aunt Wu's fruit stand."
The gazes of the onlookers began to change.
But that wasn't enough. Bai Lu asked again in a cold voice, "Since you haven't bought any roasted chestnuts from Aunt Wu's fruit stand, where did the chestnuts you brought come from?"
Li Bingkun's face stiffened.
Li Shuixian not only gave him 200 yuan for the job, but also an extra 100 yuan as hush money, instructing him to promise that he would not reveal her identity regardless of whether the job was done or not.
But right now...
Li Bingkun's hesitation vanished the moment he saw Bai Lu release Xiao Cheng's hand, and his resolve hardened immediately.
"I'm just doing this for money!"
“I’m from the countryside, my home is in Lijia Village near the bridge, which is very far away. This is my first time in the new town. I’ve never bought roasted chestnuts before. All my chestnuts are given to me by others. Someone asked me to frame Aunt Wu’s fruit stall!”
The hostile gazes that had been directed at Xiao Cheng instantly shifted to Li Bingkun.
It turned into doubt, disbelief, and disbelief.
Bai Lu took Xiao Cheng's hand again, her tone indifferent: "Who is it?"
Seeing that the demon was under control again, Li Bingkun finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up at the huge crowd of onlookers but didn't see that face.
He slowly opened his mouth and said, "Li Shuixian."
Bai Lu then asked, "Li Shuixian has no grudge against Aunt Wu's fruit stall, so why would she frame Aunt Wu?"
Li Bingkun was afraid that she would loosen her grip on the devil's knife again, so he dared not not answer and honestly replied, "Li Shuixian said that Aunt Wu's roasted chestnuts at her fruit stand are too authentic, and too many people are buying them, which has caused her to not be able to sell any more roasted chestnuts. She closed her stall yesterday morning and stopped selling them."
"Li Shuixian told me to first ruin the reputation of Aunt Wu's fruit stand's roasted chestnuts. Once everyone stopped buying chestnuts from Aunt Wu's fruit stand, her business would boom when she reopened her stand."
Bai Lu narrowed her eyes slightly: "So, where did you buy those rotten chestnuts from?"
