Chapter 103 A Powerful Backing
The next day, at 12 noon, Chaoan Supermarket!
The Wang family members stared wide-eyed at the bodyguards in black clothes and sunglasses inside the store, their eyes filled with fear.
Dressed in a punk style, Gu Xun sat domineeringly in a leather chair, waving the letter of understanding in his hand, and said flippantly, "Dare to rob my shop? Have you eaten the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard?"
The bodyguards on both sides stepped forward in unison, their imposing aura making it hard for the Wang family to breathe.
“The crime should not be committed against our family. It was Wang Dali who committed the crime; it has nothing to do with us,” Li Cuihua said, her voice trembling as she tightly embraced her son.
"Tsk tsk, that makes sense, but... I've heard that a woman once tried to rob someone of 100 yuan, but luckily the shop assistant protected her and she didn't succeed."
Upon hearing this, Li Cuihua's heart skipped a beat, and she was so frightened that her legs trembled and she collapsed to the ground. "I didn't mean to rob it. I just wanted my 100 yuan severance pay back."
"Hehe! As far as I know, you are not on the list of employees laid off from the textile factory."
"I...I was wrong, I'll never do it again!"
"Hmm? You want a next time?"
The woman was so frightened that she couldn't speak, she could only shake her head frantically!
Old Mrs. Li glared at her daughter-in-law, leaned on her cane, and moved forward at a snail's pace, holding the letter of apology in both hands. "Yun girl, do you still stand by what you said yesterday?"
"Yes, of course it counts!"
Yun Xia took the apology letter, glanced at it, and after confirming that there were no problems, handed it to Gu Xun.
The more the boy read the letter, the more his brows furrowed. "You dare to bully my people?"
Yunxia: Hiss, kid, I asked you to come here to support me, not to spout nonsense!
"I'm so sorry. If you knew she was your woman, you would have treated her to the best of everything. Yun girl, we're sorry, we know we were wrong. Just tell us how much compensation you want, we'll sell everything we own to pay you back!"
As she spoke, she wiped her eyes. Anyone who didn't know the situation would think that Yunxia had hired someone to bully them!
"If you've been bitten by a mad dog, there's no reason for it to bite back. Here, is the letter of understanding? It's personally signed and stamped by Boss Gu. Take it and get out of here. Don't ever show your face in front of us again."
Old Mrs. Li tremblingly accepted the letter of understanding, practically glued her eyes to it, muttering it word by word. Finally, she tucked it into her bosom and patted it preciously.
"Let's go, wait for Dali to come back, and then the family can live a good life together."
After saying that, she waved her hand, signaling the mother and her two children to leave with her. Unexpectedly, she heard a voice behind her that was tinged with anger.
Did I tell you to leave?
The group felt a chill run down their spines, wondering what this ruthless man was up to now.
With Wang Dali absent, Old Lady Li became the head of the household. She turned her stiff neck and asked, "Is there anything else you need?"
Upon hearing this, the young man narrowed his eyes slightly, his fingertips twitched, and he sent a coded signal. The bodyguards in black immediately sprang into action, raising the sign that had been placed at the door.
Chao'an Supermarket, generous and considerate to the people, escorted robbers, demonstrating its magnanimity!
One sign with two large characters, and exactly eight bodyguards, perfectly allocated.
"Old woman, whether you go home or to the police station, they... will follow you every step of the way. If you fail to complete the task I assigned, there will be punishment. However, I can't guarantee whether they will take their anger out on you!"
The bodyguards, their muscles practically bulging, exuded an imposing aura. Old Mrs. Li's lips twitched a few times, but she couldn't bring herself to refuse. She didn't even dare to sigh. Instead, she turned and, leaning on her cane, walked forward unsteadily.
The mother and her two children, heads bowed, not daring to look at the bodyguard, slowly followed.
I had planned to get the letter of understanding and go to the police station to rescue the person as soon as possible, but given the current situation, I have no choice but to go home first.
Eight well-dressed, upright, and imposing bodyguards walked down the street, instantly attracting the attention of passersby. They had heard about the robbery at Chaoan Supermarket, and were impressed by the fact that the robbers had been caught in just a few days and the owner had generously sent their families home. They couldn't help but admire the supermarket owner's decisiveness.
The shop owners along the street saw things a step further. The eight bodyguards were clearly professionally trained. The fact that they could gather all these people and make Scorpion suffer showed that the owner behind Chaoan Supermarket was not someone to be trifled with.
Gu Xun wanted exactly this effect: free publicity and a way to intimidate other shop owners. Right now, he was leisurely... organizing the shelves.
"Yunxia, isn't my plan brilliant?"
"Wonderful, absolutely wonderful! Here, have a piece of peach!"
Upon hearing this, the boy removed the first layer of his mask, opened his mouth, and bit into a piece of peach. "Oh, so delicious! Hey, you're keeping some for yourself. The peaches in the warehouse aren't this good."
That's because it grew up irrigated by green water, so it's naturally different from others.
He tried a piece himself, stared with innocent-looking eyes, and said naively, "It's the same, Boss Gu. Is there something wrong with your sense of taste?"
Since she didn't want to talk about it, Gu Xun was too lazy to ask any more questions. He turned around and continued to organize the shelves. In the evening, the supermarket closed early, and she shamelessly ate a meal at the Jiang family's house.
Little Black seemed to like him very much, clinging to his arms and unwilling to leave. Jiang Chao, with a stern face, narrowed his eyes and stared at the cute black cat.
"Hey, this cat and I seem to have a special connection, Jiang Chao, don't you think?"
"Heh, that black cat's got a strange vibe, Boss Gu, you'd better be careful walking at night these days!"
The boy, seemingly immune to sharp tongues, held onto the black cat's triangular ears tightly. When Yunxia brought in watermelon after dinner, she saw the two of them getting along harmoniously.
"It's strange, but when Bai Ye came to visit last time, Xiao Hei did the same thing, acting cute and clinging to him, refusing to leave."
Upon hearing this, the boy blinked slightly, and his petting of the cat slowed down considerably. "Perhaps it's just a matter of liking it. It's getting dark, so I'll head back now."
"What's the rush? We haven't had our dessert yet!"
The boy took the watermelon, ate it in a few bites, exchanged a few casual pleasantries, and then left.
Did I say something wrong?
"Heh, who knows? Let's finish eating and go back to our rooms to sleep."
After eating the watermelon, the group chatted for a while before dozing off and going back to their rooms to sleep.
In the days that followed, things proceeded smoothly. The fruit and vegetable business was doing better and better, and the supermarket business was on track. After the scorpion was caught, everyone knew that he had a powerful backer, so no one dared to cause trouble.
Despite the letter of understanding, Wang Dali ultimately could not escape imprisonment. Because he revealed who organized the gambling, he was only sentenced to six months. Upon hearing the news, Old Lady Li cried her eyes out, while Li Cuihua smiled and became even more doting on Wang Tianci.
Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye. It's mid-July, a hot summer day, at the entrance of the orthopedic ward of Renbao International Hospital.
Yunxia came in carrying a lunchbox and saw the handsome young man practicing walking with crutches. She quickly went over to help him and complained, "You just had surgery a few days ago, and you're already moving around like this. Aren't you afraid of developing health problems later?"
After two years, I saved up tens of thousands of yuan and took advantage of the summer vacation to bring him to the best hospital in China for surgery. The surgeon said that he was a bit old, but fortunately his bone age was still young, and the chance of him recovering to a normal age was about 70%.
The boy was helped to the bed, staring blankly at his right leg. "I... I just wanted to try."
