Chapter 174 Published in the Newspaper



It was quite late by the time I finished all these things.

Fu Linchuan didn't even have time to go home. He went back to the noodle shop and called home first. He was relieved to find out that Xu Chunmai had arrived home.

Afterwards, he returned to his dormitory.

When Lu Gaoliang and the others saw Fu Linchuan come in, they quickly went to ask, "Linchuan, how did things go with your shop?"

Knowing that someone was causing trouble at Fu Linchuan's shop, by the time they heard the news and rushed over, Fu Linchuan and his group had already disappeared.

After asking around, they found out that he had gone to the hospital with officers from the Public Security Bureau.

Fu Linchuan sat down, and He Qingyang immediately poured him some water and placed it on the table.

Xu Yingcai looked at He Qingyang and his group's servile manner and sneered.

The sound was especially noticeable in the small dormitory room.

Fu Linchuan was indeed very thirsty; he had been busy all afternoon and it was already evening.

He took a sip of water and said, "Nothing much is wrong at the shop, it's mostly resolved. The guy who caused trouble is named Chen Fa, and he told the truth without even going to the hospital."

At this point, Fu Linchuan paused for a moment and took another sip of water.

Xu Yingcai was listening intently, and when he heard Fu Linchuan say that Chen Fa had actually told the truth, his heart jumped.

Xiong Zhenghao continued, "Did he tell the truth? Was he deliberately trying to scam money?"

Fu Linchuan glanced at Xu Yingcai and saw him leaning against the bed, holding a book in his hand. His fingers were gripping the book so tightly that his knuckles had turned white.

Fu Linchuan genuinely suspected that Xu Yingcai had bribed Chen Fa.

However, Xu Yingcai's family was not well-off, but it cannot be ruled out that he wanted to give Chen Fa some money and told him that he could extort money from him at his shop.

Otherwise, given how much Xu Yingcai dislikes him and how nitpicky he is every day, he wouldn't have been so nervous this afternoon, and his attitude would have changed.

“He’s not just trying to scam money. Chen Fa said he was bribed to extort money. I hope he can cause trouble and bankrupt my noodle shop,” Fu Linchuan said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Gaoliang and his group started cursing.

"Who is this? How could they be so unethical! Your noodle shop was doing so well, what good would it do them to shut it down?"

Meng Ziping added, "Yes. Did the police find out who bribed him, and who's behind him?"

“Of course we got the answer,” Fu Linchuan said deliberately. “The police officers are quite capable; they figured out what was going on at a glance. Chen Fa immediately collapsed to the ground, unable to defend himself.”

"That's truly gratifying," Lu Gaoliang said. "Has the person behind that been caught?"

Fu Linchuan glanced at Xu Yingcai, who was already trembling, and said, "We haven't arrested him yet. The police officers heard that the person behind him said they're waiting for him to turn himself in and giving him a chance."

Meng Ziping exclaimed, "The police officers are such good people."

Xiong Zhenghao said, "Anyway, we know who it is. We'll really teach him a lesson when the time comes. He's always up to these crooked ideas."

He Qingyang asked, "Is it because everyone wants to open a noodle shop, or because the surrounding shops feel that you are stealing their business and are doing this on purpose?"

Fu Linchuan shook his head. "No, those merchants are all honest business people, not that unethical. As for this person, you wouldn't believe it. I'll tell you when he turns himself in."

In short, everyone was relieved to know that Fu Linchuan's shop was alright.

After washing up, Fu Linchuan went to bed.

What a tiring weekend!

As the lights were about to be turned off, Lu Gaoliang asked from below, "Linchuan, do you think today's commotion will definitely affect your shop's business?"

Meng Ziping echoed, "Yes, I don't think any business was done today. Although the Industry and Commerce Bureau went to inspect, many people must have heard some things they shouldn't have, and the rumors will spread and affect future business."

Hearing this, Xu Yingcai felt a little better.

That's right. Although it wasn't successful today, Fu Linchuan's business will definitely be affected.

He learned by chance that the Chunmai Noodle Shop behind him was Fu Linchuan's shop.

No wonder he's always so arrogant and generous to everyone.

Whenever he had free time, he would invite Lu Gaoliang and the others to dinner.

I didn't realize I made so much money.

Everyone should be on the same starting line, so why is it that Fu Linchuan is better at everything and can still earn so much money?

Also, he drove a new car today.

Fu Linchuan's voice came from upstairs, "It won't have a big impact, don't worry. After all, we're doing business honestly, the ingredients are all fresh, and the hygiene is good. Things will get better gradually."

Xu Yingcai snorted inwardly after hearing this.

He believed that Fu Linchuan was just comforting himself.

It would be better if he couldn't make any money!

He Qingyang said, "Let's go and support them more often in the future."

Xu Yingcai didn't sleep well all night.

He finally fell asleep, but his dreams were filled with the police coming to arrest him.

He woke up from a nightmare, sat up clutching the blanket, and remained in a daze for a long time.

He comforted himself, thinking that Fu Linchuan was just bluffing him and that Chen Fa wouldn't betray him.

If he really confesses, the police will definitely come looking for him directly.

Xu Yingcai now regrets going to Chen Fa on his own.

Now things are really messed up; Chen Fa has been taken away, and he's living in constant fear here.

In his attempt to spite Fu Linchuan, he risked getting himself into serious trouble.

What if the police come looking for him?

Will he be expelled from school for this?
