"That's good. Now you have to show me your loyalty." Xu Chen crossed his arms and looked at them with a half-smile.
"How do I demonstrate this, brother?"
"Pick up the knife and kill him." With that, Xu Chen actually took out two kitchen knives and threw them on the ground. Fatty Tiger and Er Gou stared wide-eyed. Why would there be two kitchen knives hidden in such a small pocket? They couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they tried. Actually, Xu Chen had just bought them at the supermarket and put them in his storage bag.
Their limited brains began to churn, hoping to devise the best plan to escape. Given their years of brotherhood, they ultimately decided in unison to pick up a cleaver and stab Xu Chen. In a flash, within ten seconds, the two men rose from the bench and grabbed the cleaver. Xu Chen knew their intentions. With a puppet-like move, Fatty Tiger plunged the cleaver directly into Er Gou's arm. Instantly, blood gushed from Er Gou's right arm. He stared at Fatty Tiger in astonishment, "What are you doing? You bastard, why are you stabbing me? Stab him!"
"Dare to insult me? I'll kill you today!" Fat Tiger's utterly genuine expression sent shivers down Er Gou's spine. Both shocked and enraged, Er Gou brandished a cleaver with his left arm and swung it at Fat Tiger. The farce of white knives going in and red knives coming out officially began in the park at dawn. The two fought fiercely, their eyes completely bloodshot. After deciding the winner, Xu Chen put away the cleaver, patted Fat Tiger on the shoulder, told him to continue resting on the bench, and then left the area.
"No fun, it'll be over in a minute." Xu Chen shook his head. He was sure some citizens would notice the bloodstains and the deceased Er Gou. What happened next was predictable. Citizens exercising early in the morning were terrified to see a sleeping person, bloodstains, and a corpse. While the police were calling, a busybody filmed the incident and posted it online, sparking a public outcry. The police were under immense pressure and quickly identified the killer and the victim. Under media scrutiny, authoritative figures testified that both the killer and the victim were remnants of the Black Tiger Gang. The capital began a manhunt for the remaining members of the Black Tiger Gang and sent a letter requesting assistance from Hebei Province.
"Chenchen, did you deal with those two gangsters from last night?" Wang Li asked Xu Chen curiously.
Xu Chen nodded. "It's all been dealt with. It'll probably be trending on social media soon."
Wang Li breathed a sigh of relief, "It's all settled now, Xiaoqing can live a peaceful life again."
"I'll speak to the relevant authorities and have them wipe out the remaining members of the Black Tiger Gang. Then we can focus on preparing for the exam and then go to the ancient tomb." Xu Chen thought for a while and decided to do it this way, since keeping them around was a potential threat.
"Okay, let's continue learning!"
The next morning, on his way to work, Li Cheng received a call from his secretary. The secretary's concise explanation made Li Cheng frown. He hung up the phone and began to think of a solution. "This shouldn't be happening. Overnight, so many partners want to terminate their contracts with us? Even Douyin called." In a panic, he quickly drove to the company.
"Manager, you've finally arrived! They're all waiting for you in the conference room," the secretary said hurriedly. Li Cheng frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Are they already in such a hurry to breach the contract?"
"No, no, it's a large group of consumers who say that buying our face masks caused their skin to ulcerate and they want to seek compensation from us."
Li Cheng frowned again. To be honest, he also felt immense pressure in the current situation. After regaining his composure and walking into the conference room, wave after wave of sonic attacks began to assault him.
"The district market supervision bureau will be here soon. Your crappy factory is going to go bankrupt!" a consumer said angrily to Li Cheng after finishing a phone call. Li Cheng, outnumbered and outmatched, couldn't get a word in edgewise and could only let them rant. Frustrated, he called his secretary, "Notify everyone that today is the day off. Leave a few people to collect their purchase receipts." The secretary nodded, and Li Cheng then addressed the crowd, "Ladies and aunties, our staff will be collecting your receipts and proof of purchase. If you want compensation, you need to have both of these things ready so we can issue a refund." He then looked at the crowd and noticed the uneasy expressions on many faces, confirming his suspicions. Seeing his employees struggling to collect the receipts further convinced him that this group was there to cause trouble.
"What proof? I never care about that when I buy things, I've never asked for a refund."
"Yes, isn't having your products enough for me?"
Strangely, just as Li Cheng was eager to expose them, the employees received some purchase receipts, and even the personal information matched. Just as Li Cheng was about to call the experts to come to the factory, the market supervision bureau staff began to enter Liren Pharmaceutical.
"We have received a report that your company's products have harmed consumers' rights and health. We are now conducting an on-site investigation. Where is the person in charge?"
Li Cheng stepped out from the crowd and said, "I am the person in charge."
"Take us to the workshop first, then we will seize some products to take back for testing. Any objections?"
"No objections, this way please." Li Cheng led the staff into the workshop and let them inspect it carefully. At this time, the employees had already gone home, and the workshop was very quiet.
"The on-site inspection found no problems. We will take the products back for testing. Your factory will suspend operations until the test results are available. Do you have any objections?"
Li Cheng nodded. "We will fully cooperate."
Watching the staff and so-called customers leave, Li Cheng realized for the first time the treacherous nature of the world. He and Boss Xu had the prescription examined by experts and there couldn't be any problems. Coupled with the fact that some customers had refused to hand over their purchase receipts, he realized that someone had already made a move against Liren.
After thinking it over, he went into his office, looked down at the quiet factory below through the glass curtain wall, and made a phone call.
"Uncle, what are you doing?" he asked as soon as the call connected.
"Young Master Li? The Party Secretary is in a meeting. I'll talk to him after the meeting ends."
Hearing that his secretary answered the phone, Li Cheng said, "Okay, Uncle Xu, please be sure to tell my uncle."
Half an hour later, Li Cheng's phone rang. Upon seeing the caller ID, he immediately answered the call.
"Cheng'er? What's wrong? Xiao Xu said you seemed to have something urgent to tell me?"
"Uncle, I've run into a bit of trouble, and I might need your help to speak up."
"Get to the point."
Li Cheng then recounted the events of that morning to his uncle in detail. Luckily, it was lunchtime, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to explain it in such detail.
