Chapter 517 Don’t Beg Him
"Mr. Shen, how could you do this?!" Zhao Si placed all his hopes on Mr. Shen. Seeing that Mr. Shen actually gave in, he was so angry that his eyes turned red.
He stared at Master Shen intently, which made Master Shen's servants frown: "Bold Zhao Si, how dare you look at our master like that? We'll throw you in jail when we get back!"
Master Shen stopped the servant's threatening words with his eyes. There was a hint of apology in his expression: "Brother Zhao, your shop's reputation is indeed not very good. My friendship with you has not reached that point, so I will not interfere today."
“But you’ve already taken mine…” Zhao Si never expected that Master Shen would turn against him at this time. He knew that he had caused a lot of trouble, and he thought that he would be safe as long as he had Master Shen’s protection.
But I didn't expect that this Mr. Shen is also a coward!
He was just about to say that Master Shen had taken his shares, but he saw a hint of warning in the latter's handsome brows.
Seeing this, Hu Xiner finally reacted.
The experiences of her past and present lives combined made her more experienced than Zhao Si. She quickly realized that under the current situation, if Zhao Si revealed his relationship with the Shen family, he would definitely be in trouble!
After all, Mr. Shen's attitude before was very clear. He was only willing to help Mu Xin Comics Shop because of his personal hobby.
However, if his relationship with the comic book shop was exposed to the public at this time, it would bring bad luck to the Shen family.
After Zhao Si revealed his relationship with the Shen family, Zhou Chenghe would certainly be a little wary, but there was a high probability that Mr. Shen would directly deny it!
She staggered forward, covered Zhao Si's mouth with her hand, and thought about how to break the deadlock with a pale face.
But the more he thought about it, the uglier his face became.
She and Zhao Si were both weak in Qingzhou. Today, Zhou Chenghe smashed their shop and left them penniless, which was actually the best outcome.
If this guy is not satisfied after smashing the shop and secretly attacks her and Zhao Si, then it is unknown whether they can still survive!
At this moment, Hu Xiner deeply regretted not keeping the Taoist priest and the others.
There are no police in this world. No matter how rich or resourceful a person is, if he doesn't have some force in his hands, he will inevitably suffer losses when he goes out!
Zhou Chenghe was a little apprehensive about the prefect's son's status. He now looked at Master Shen and deliberately asked, "Master, are you here? What is your relationship with Zhao Si?"
As expected, Master Shen denied it: "What kind of friendship do I have with that guy? I just admire the painter's talent and came to see the fun."
Zhou Chenghe's smile widened a little: "If I can capture that painter, I will definitely pack him up and send him to you, young master!"
Mr. Shen lowered his eyes, his tone quite cold: "No need, Miss Zhao has already agreed to make an appointment with the painter for me."
The implication is that Zhao Si has nothing to do with the shop, but Miss Zhao, who knows the painter, must not be touched.
Zhou Chenghe's mind turned, and he understood the meaning of these words. He felt a little funny in his heart - this Mr. Shen was still thinking about being gentle and considerate to women at this time.
He smiled heartily: “I understand what Master Shen means. Thank you for making way today. I acknowledge you as my friend!”
Mr. Shen looked indifferent, and it was obvious that he didn't really want to acknowledge him as a friend. He just felt that it was not worth it to tear his face with this local tyrant for this shop.
Zhao Si was struck by lightning when he heard these words, and there was a hint of despair in his eyes.
There is nothing more heartbreaking than seeing hope and then watching it shattered!
He struggled desperately, and Hu Xin'er had to let go for fear of hurting the baby in her belly.
"Mr. Zhou, just wait! If you dare to smash my shop, sooner or later I will make sure you die without a burial place." He roared at Zhou Chenghe.
"Just you?" Zhou Chenghe gave him a look of extreme contempt.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh as they watched Zhao Si struggling.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Zhao Si didn't make any big mistakes. Business is a matter of mutual consent. He is so young and must have gone astray before.
"What a pity! The Zhao siblings must have emptied out all their family savings to build such a shop, but it was destroyed... It will be difficult for them to make a comeback in the future!" People stayed away and didn't even dare to discuss too loudly, for fear of being heard by Zhou Chenghe.
"Make a comeback? Are you kidding me? If you offend Zhou Chenghe, you will have no place to stand in Qingzhou!"
"No way, is it really that exaggerated? How can the Zhou family martial arts school be so domineering?"
The scholars who had just been using contemptuous and slanderous words against Zhao Si now clenched their fists and looked at Zhou Chenghe with anger but helplessness.
A young scholar sighed, "It's a pity we're all weak scholars, otherwise we would definitely punish the evildoers! But Zhao Si isn't a good person either. Did he do something wrong to offend Zhou Chenghe?"
"This..." Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. "I don't think we've ever heard of Zhao Si making any mistakes. Could it be that someone has commissioned the Zhou family martial arts school to sabotage the comic book shop's business?"
After all, the Zhou family martial arts school often accepts commissions from others, and it is common for them to go to various places to smash stores and teach people a lesson.
Hu Xin'er was also thinking about this. She frowned and said, "Brother Zhou, don't be so hasty! I wonder how my brother has offended you?"
Zhou Chenghe didn't even look at her: "You don't need to know this!"
The person behind him had already warned her not to reveal her identity to outsiders.
But Hu Xin'er misunderstood what he meant.
She thought that Zhou Chenghe was angry with the comic book shop because of the Lu family.
After all, Zhou Chenghe and the Lu family had a real conflict before.
But if that was the case, then she would be so sorry to Zhao Si...
She said anxiously and earnestly, "Brother Zhou, this shop is really important to us. How much of the shares can you take? Don't destroy anything in the shop!"
Zhao Si felt very uncomfortable when he saw that she could only beg Zhou Chenghe humbly. He didn't know why, but he didn't feel wronged when he was bullied by Zhou Chenghe just now. He just hated his own weakness.
But when he saw Hu Xiner pleading for him with a big belly, his eyes became sore and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Sister, don't beg him!" He swallowed the tears in his throat and said to Hu Xiner.
This call was sincere and heartfelt, even with a bit of sob, which also meant that he acknowledged Hu Xiner's identity as his sister from the bottom of his heart.
