Chapter 64 Making Trouble
Xu Tian immediately snorted coldly: "Humph! A child who hasn't even fully grown his hair yet, what good does it matter how powerful he is? And that woman Ye Jin dared to openly insult me at the gate of the base last time. Since she can't be used by me, I'll find a way to get rid of her!"
Zhu Yuan listened to this with some disapproval, but did not interrupt.
Xu Tian looked at Xu Shuai, who had slumped back onto the sofa, and said, "And you! Put away those little tricks of yours. Don't mess with a woman you can't handle in one go."
"Got it, Dad! Before I kill her, I'll play with her first. Nothing bad will happen."
Xu Tian glared at him. He knew his son well. Although he loved to play, he would still do serious work.
"How's Li Lu doing?" Xu Tian continued, "That Li Lu, I've tried to meet him several times but he's avoided me. He's just a jerk. Just thinking about him makes me angry."
"What are you angry about? An old man who can barely hold up a chicken. Times have changed. I think he's no better than the student next to him. A second-level spiritual master is rare. With him, that old man Li Lu has no reason to exist."
Thinking about the difference in Li Lu's attitude towards Xu Jiaguo after meeting him, Xu Tian hated him very much. He said, "When the antidote comes out, kill Li Lu! And win Yang Shuhuai over to our camp."
"That Yang Shuhuai is quite sensible. He has already let Yu Ruanruan approach him."
…
By the time Ye Jin stabilized his thunder element at the middle fourth level and came out of the space, it was already three days later.
Seeing Yu Zichen's somewhat dejected look, she was surprised: "Xiaochen, you...you fell down?"
Yu Zichen responded softly: "Hmm..."
In just one week since Xia Li broke his arm, he has fallen from the peak of the third level of the spiritual system to the early stage of the third level.
Ye Jin didn't say anything more, just patted his shoulder to comfort him.
Xiaochen is still too young and mentally unstable. Xia Li's injury this time was a big blow to him, and he blames himself very much. Now everyone is staying at home and the atmosphere is dead.
"Sister, I'm going to the hospital first. Xiaoyue and Aunt Chen are both there, but I'm still worried."
"Yeah." Zhang Zhang and Xia Li were both in the hospital these days, and there was no one at home. Ye Jin was either in the space or staying in the store every day.
"Boss Ye!"
Wang Juan came in hurriedly from the door. She was an employee of the store. No one was in charge of the store for a while, so she was very excited. Ye Jin promoted her to deputy store manager to help manage and organize the store affairs.
"What's wrong? Something happened in the store?"
"Yes, yes." Wang Juan took a few breaths and said, "Someone said they got sick from eating the sweet potatoes they bought in our store and are causing trouble."
Got a stomachache? Everything she sells is directly from her space. Not only are they fresher and fuller than those sold outside, they're also sweeter. There's no way they could cause any problems.
It seems that someone is looking for trouble. There are also people in the base who want to make trouble and gain benefits, but with the army protecting them and Su Heng in charge, no one really dares to make trouble.
The person who deliberately made such a fuss must be from Xu Tian's side.
"Let's go, I'll go there."
Ye Jin glanced at Yu Zichen who was standing there and said, "Go to the hospital first."
The man causing trouble in the store was a big, strong middle-aged man.
Ye Jin glanced at him. Early stage of the second stage?
She remembered that Xu Tian had lost a lot of people with special abilities during this period, but he actually sent someone with relatively high special abilities to take the lead, which showed that he respected her.
"Are you the boss here?" The man saw Ye Jin coming and shouted arrogantly: "If I get sick from eating your food, you have to be responsible."
Ye Jin glanced him up and down, seeing that he was full of energy, how could he look sick?
"I'm the boss here. What evidence do you have to prove that you got sick from eating our food?"
"What proof do you need? I ate your sweet potatoes all day and I've been vomiting and having diarrhea! If it's not you, what's to blame?"
"Then do you have a hospital certificate?"
"What proof do you need? It's just a problem with your product. Don't you want to take responsibility?"
Ye Jin sneered: "You have no proof, yet you're here to frame me? You can check any of our sweet potatoes to see if there's anything wrong with them."
There were also many old customers of the store nearby who had been buying things in the store and had trust in them, so they also helped out by saying a few words.
"Could there be something wrong? I've been buying food here for a long time and there's never been any problem with the food."
A man also said: "Their products are easy to use and affordable. They are cheaper than many places outside. Did you make a mistake?" The guns he bought in this store are newer models than those outside, and are of good quality and low price. For ordinary people like them who do not have special powers, it is much easier to fight zombies with guns.
The man winked at the people watching the show outside, and someone immediately started to lead the rhythm.
"Just because it was good before doesn't mean it's good now. Now that their business has grown, they're selling inferior products as good ones."
"They sell so much every day, who knows if the source is right? The land is polluted now, and no food can be grown at all. Who knows if these sweet potatoes are infected with the zombie virus?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the onlookers outside and the customers in the store were all mobilized.
"Yeah, these sweet potatoes are sold in such large quantities every day. Where do they come from?"
"Water resources are all polluted now. Could it be that they are being raised with infected water from outside?"
Some people immediately started to panic, saying, "I ate this sweet potato today, too. Could it be infected with the virus?"
The burly man immediately said, "Who knows? Anyway, I'm a superpowered person with a healthy body. I don't know if an ordinary person would turn into a zombie."
The expressions of the people present changed immediately. They surrounded Ye Jin and asked, "Is your sweet potato safe?"
"You won't eat dead people, will you? I've been buying things from you guys, you have to explain to us!"
Seeing Ye Jin being surrounded, a gleam of light flashed in the sturdy man's eyes.
Ye Jin just stood there coldly, his eyes frozen, making people shudder. The pressure of a high-level psychic was released, and the people present felt their bodies were very heavy, and they were pressed to the point of being unable to breathe, and they all fell silent.
She finally spoke, saying calmly, "No merchant would reveal their financial secrets to others, but I can guarantee that my products are in good condition! As for you..."
She walked slowly up to the troublemaker.
As Ye Jin approached, he suddenly felt as if he couldn't breathe, and his body was pressed down by the aura and he couldn't stand up. Sweat broke out on his forehead. He was not sure what level the other party was at, but it was definitely higher than him.
Ye Jin scorned him and said, "I know exactly who sent you here to cause trouble. I'm telling the people behind you, don't use such low-level tricks!"
“Is this how business is done now?”
A voice sounded from outside, and Ye Jin watched Yu Leyang walk in from outside.
Her cold pupils narrowed slightly. After three months of not seeing her, she had just reached the fourth level. Was Yu Leyang actually at the same level as her?
She immediately regained her composure and said sarcastically, "You dare to come back? You're truly fearless!"
"Of course I dare to come back. This time you invited me."
Ask him to come back? Ye Jin frowned. Didn’t Xu Jiaguo put a wanted order for Yu Leyang at the base?
He frowned at the burly man and cursed, "You're useless! You didn't even dare to seek justice after being cheated by a black-hearted merchant."
Ye Jin was amused. Who is the villain? You have been sucking blood from their family for so many years. Don’t you have any idea?
"So you brought people here specifically to cause trouble?"
"I'm not looking for trouble, but there's something wrong with this thing of yours, so it needs to be fixed, right?" Yu Leyang glanced around at everyone present: "We can't let everyone eat something unclean for no reason, right? Don't you agree?"
Regarding the safety-related issues, the people present immediately started clamoring and demanded that she give an explanation.
Wang Juan tugged at Ye Jin's clothes and whispered, "Miss Ye, why don't you tell us where the things came from? We can't go on like this. It might affect our business."
Wang Juan has never been clear about where the goods for their store come from, but the salary here is high, the benefits are good, and the work is easy. She wants to continue working here and doesn't want to make too much of a fuss. If the store goes bankrupt, she will lose her job. It is too difficult to find a reliable job in this apocalypse.
