Chapter 99 They've Met a Tough Thing
"Yes, it's an undeserved disaster, we can just swallow it ourselves, but... we should let you know beforehand."
"Aunt Wu, the shop is opened together, and the gross profit is distributed according to the contract. Naturally, the risks are shared. If one party suffers alone, the business won't last long!"
“Godmother, Little Butterfly is right. Although Gu Xun is arrogant, flamboyant, and has a loose tongue, it cannot be denied that he is a good boss.”
Yunxia rolled her eyes at the husky, thinking to herself, "Isn't the boy afraid of getting beaten up for talking badly about people like that?"
"Sigh, I was too hasty and didn't think through the pros and cons. I've almost finished tidying up, let's go home and rest!"
"Aunt Wu, you must be frightened today. Why don't you close the shop and rest for a couple of days?"
"I'm fine. Closing the shop for a day means one less day of income, so I'll keep it open!"
No amount of persuasion would change anything, so Yunxia had no choice but to nod in agreement!
The next day, south of the city, under the abandoned bridge!
Gu Xun frowned the whole time as he listened to the little girl recount how the supermarket had been robbed, and he was so angry that he crushed the disposable paper cup in his hand.
"A scorpion with pincers, huh? Its abilities have increased greatly, huh? It even dares to mess with my shop?"
"Gu Xun, the money can't be recovered, but they have to accept the punishment."
"No, the money must be returned. Yunxia, don't interfere in this matter. There will be a result within three days."
Look at those sinister and ruthless eyes, look at that domineering aura, you can tell at a glance that he knows what he's doing!
With a huge weight lifted from his heart, Yunxia presented the gifts she had brought and inquired about the business of the floating wine. Upon learning that sales were good and that he could receive a five-figure quarterly bonus, he immediately beamed with joy.
Back home, Wu Lifang relayed Gu Xun's words to the others. Upon hearing that the money could be recovered, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's great, it's so good that the money can be recovered."
"I've only heard my husband mention Mr. Gu from the south of the city. He said that few people in Jiangcheng dare to mess with him. I never imagined he was actually the big boss of a shopping mall." Aunt Qu said, clutching her chest in shock.
"Yes, with him involved, I believe this matter can be resolved quickly."
Aunt Qu nodded in agreement. She knew that Gu Xun was involved in the underworld, so she guessed that the advance publicity was inadequate. Otherwise, those unlucky robbers wouldn't have targeted Chao'an Supermarket.
Gu Xun kept his word. On the afternoon of the third day, the police came to his door, saying that the robbers had been caught and the stolen money of 1,375.3 yuan had been recovered.
Upon hearing the confirmation, Wu Lifang was so excited she could barely walk. "Thank you, thank you so much. I really don't know what I would have done without you."
"No need to thank me. Serving the people is what we should do. Just go to the police station tomorrow to fill out the forms and get your stolen money back. Oh, by the way, do you know Wang Dali?"
"Wang Dali? I know him, he's from the same street. Is he... involved in this?"
"Yes, there is some connection. He was the one who came up with the idea to rob Chao'an, and he was also the one who targeted him. When we found him, he was gambling with a group of people and was temporarily detained at the police station."
Goodness, he's really asking for trouble. With two crimes combined, he's in for a lot of trouble!
"The police officers are really brave. They solved the case incredibly fast. They caught the robber in just three days."
Who wouldn't love a sweet-talking girl? He patted her head and said, "We have to thank the kind citizens of Jiangcheng for this. An urgent anonymous letter pointed out the location of the robbers, which house they were staying in, and what kind of blankets they were using. It was all written down clearly. With the attitude of not letting go of any opportunity, the boss sent people to investigate. Sigh, who would have thought that they would be caught in one fell swoop!"
Yunxia knew exactly who the kind citizen was. After thanking him, she wanted to give him a watermelon, but the policeman firmly refused, saying that public servants cannot take a single penny from the people. Under the girl's admiring gaze, she left the shop.
"Tsk tsk, Gu Xun's network of connections is truly impressive!"
In Jiangcheng, the Feng family is the richest family. Nobody dares to mess with them, and their network of connections naturally doesn't extend to the underworld...
"Yes! Xiaxia, pick out some gifts and send them to Boss Gu to express your gratitude properly."
“Aunt Wu, he has all these things. Why don’t you cook some good dishes and I’ll send them over to him?”
"That's not very sincere. Why don't you invite them to your home and cook a big feast?"
The idea of making a mask with a slit in it, opening and closing it, just thinking about it made me feel uneasy, so I quickly rejected the suggestion.
"Mom, just listen to Xiaxia. I'll go with her tomorrow."
"Yes, we have a lot to do tomorrow, so we'll be closed for the day. Aunt Qu, you should go home and spend time with your grandson."
"Sigh, my grandson is such a troublemaker. He catches cats and dogs, climbs trees and picks flowers. He's practically tearing the roof off. He's never quiet all day long. When he comes to help out at the shop, that's when he gets some rest!"
Although he said that, the doting look in his eyes was unmistakable!
At 7 p.m., seeing that there weren't many people in the shopping mall, the group of friends, in high spirits, decided to pack up and close the shop early. After finishing at 7:30 p.m., they pulled down the roller shutter door, and Feng Jingling suggested that they go to the night market for a good meal.
"Hmph, it's best to avoid places like this, where all sorts of people mingle!"
Upon hearing the phrase "a mixed bag," Wu Lifang's heart skipped a beat. "Lingling, Achao is right. Let's pick a more reputable place!"
There aren't many places to eat that are open at night, and even after racking her brains, Fengjingling couldn't think of a proper place.
"Fried chicken and hamburgers! Big brother, didn't you promise to treat us before the holiday?"
The boy's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "Oh right, how could I forget that? The fried chicken and burger shop is open 24 hours a day."
After saying that, he led the group around a street and into a national chain fast food restaurant, where they ordered a value meal for five people.
"Godmother, here, fried chicken burger, have a taste."
Wu Lifang glanced at the price and was shocked. She thought to herself that a small hamburger was more expensive than two pounds of meat. However, she couldn't refuse her godson's kindness, so she took it, opened the packaging, and nibbled on it.
The soft, sweet bread, with its crispy and delicious crust, encased tender chicken and smooth egg, topped with a layer of lettuce leaves. The rich flavor made her feel that the money was well spent.
The apprentice followed in his master's footsteps, and the two of them ate in a manner that was almost identical. They opened their mouths wide, took a bite out of a corner of the hamburger, and chewed frantically with their cheeks puffed out.
Compared to them, Jiang Chao ate with much more elegance, pinching a fried chicken strip, dipping it in ketchup, and chewing slowly. Noticing someone's gaze, his eyelashes trembled slightly. "Yun Xia, is there any flower on your face?"
"No flowers, just a speck of sleep." After saying that, he quickly lowered his head, picked up the hamburger, and took a big bite.
The boy was stunned for a moment, then blinked, turned his head away, and rubbed the corners and edges of his eyes with his fingers. He found no hard particles and immediately knew that the girl was lying.
"Wow! What a drama queen!"
Yunxia, pretending to be engrossed in the delicious food: Hmph, if I can fool them, I've won.
After eating the second fried, high-calorie food, I felt very greasy. After finishing the drinks and desserts, there were still some hamburgers and fried food left on the table. I asked for a takeout container and planned to take it home to eat slowly.
The next day, early in the morning, Yunxia went to the market with Aunt Wu and bought a lot of fish, shrimp, pork belly and various vegetables. After a lot of work, a delicious meal with good color, aroma and taste was successfully prepared.
They packed three thermos containers, and Yunxia and Jiang Chao took the bus to the south of the city, while Aunt Wu took the documents and rode her old bicycle to the police station.
