Chen Nian certainly sensed the killing intent, but he also knew that if he revealed even a hint of his reborn identity, Xu Neng would kill him at all costs!
However, if he lets it go unchecked, Xu will be able to buy the supermarket, and all his plans will fall through.
By the way, is Xu Neng's obsession with the supermarket because, like me, he's also waiting for Wang Feifei to appear?
No, we must stop it!
He grabbed his father's arm, tightened his grip, and said in a low voice:
"I think he's a fraud! There are so many scams on the news lately, there's no such thing as a free lunch."
"Dad, they cheat people by taking advantage of their greed. We have to be careful."
After hearing these words, Chen Nian's father looked at Xu Neng with more scrutiny, and even wondered if his watch might be fake.
Yeah, he also found it strange before. This man spent twice as much money to buy a supermarket. He's not stupid, at least he seems smart. It's a bit contradictory.
Something unusual must be going on!
Seeing that his father had been persuaded, Chen Nian hurriedly shouted loudly at the man:
"This supermarket doesn't sell here, so don't block our business! Grab your things and get out of here!"
They were treating him like a fraudster.
Xu Neng sneered inwardly. Although he couldn't be certain of Chen Nian's true identity yet, things had progressed to this point, and no matter how much he persisted, the normal methods were no longer feasible.
Then we'll have to resort to unconventional methods.
He's very good at this, it's practically his specialty. Over the years in the US, he's acquired countless companies, and he's seen all sorts of tough guys.
Which gangsters, the legitimate and the criminal world, haven't they messed with?
There's no company he can't acquire. In fact, he'll drive down the stock price first, then make a fortune after the acquisition. He has all sorts of tactics at his disposal.
Not to mention this tiny supermarket!
Xu Neng walked to the door, then suddenly turned around, his expression unreadable, his eyes fixed on Chen Nian.
Chen Nian knew very well that Xu Neng, after his rebirth, remembered everything, especially the enemies who murdered his wife and children, and he would not let them go.
He knew that if he showed even the slightest sign of abnormality, his death was imminent.
So even though he felt uneasy being stared at, he tried his best to keep his expression steady and pretend to be relaxed.
Suddenly, a deep voice rang out, tinged with mockery:
"Are you so sure I'm a liar? Do you know me? Do you, Chen Nian?"
This question startled Chen Nian. Fortunately, he had experienced various tests from the steel mill in his previous life and was experienced in dealing with them.
He immediately realized it was a trap, but turned to his father with a disgruntled tone and said:
"Dad, see? I told you he was a liar! He even knew my name, he was obviously prepared! Dad, you didn't tell him my name, did you?"
Chen Nian skillfully changed the subject.
"No, I didn't mention your name. You really are a liar! I never thought you'd even try to scam my Chen family! If you don't leave, I'm calling the police!"
Chen Nian's father deliberately raised his voice.
The dispute at the entrance attracted some customers to stop and watch. There was no point in continuing the argument, and Chen Nian was clearly very wary.
Xu Neng chuckled softly, realizing that refusing to listen to reason would only lead to trouble, and turned to leave...
Chen Nian only dared to relax secretly after seeing him walk away. Luckily, he hadn't given himself away, but what should he do next time?
Having likely experienced extreme tension, he was completely exhausted after finally relaxing, sitting on the steps of the low goods-stacking ladder with a blank expression...
"Niannian, what's wrong? Do you want to go back to your room and rest?" Dad asked with concern in his eyes.
"It's nothing, Dad. Just please don't sell the supermarket, especially at this critical juncture."
"Why?"
Chen Nian suddenly stood up and placed his hands on his father's shoulders:
"In short, don't sell it, Dad. You have to listen to me on this."
Chen Nian's father looked at his son with satisfaction. Sure enough, his son had grown up and could stand on his own. If his son hadn't stopped him today, he might have been deceived...
After calming themselves down, the father and son got busy. There were still many goods to be moved onto the shelves, and Chen Nian was naturally in charge of this kind of physically demanding work.
He was busy at the top of the short ladder.
Just then, the phone rang. Dad glanced at it and saw it was the landlord.
Strange, the rent is still six months away from expiring. He never calls unless he needs something, so why is he calling?
Chen Nian's father answered the phone cautiously.
"You should get ready to move out!"
"What? We want to renew our lease, and the lease isn't even due yet! Why should we move out?!"
Chen Nian's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately stopped what he was doing and pricked up his ears...
"There's nothing I can do. Someone is willing to rent it for double the price. I also need to make a living. There's no reason not to make money when I can. Don't worry, he will compensate you according to the contract. But the condition is that you move out tomorrow."
What the landlord didn't mention was that Xu Neng had indeed agreed with him that he would bear the compensation, but the supermarket father and son had to move out tomorrow.
If the time limit is exceeded, the landlord will be responsible for the compensation.
According to the contract, the penalty for breach of contract was originally to be borne by the landlord, but Xu Neng added this incentive in order to expedite the process.
The landlord wanted to earn double the rent but didn't want to pay the penalty for breach of contract, so he hurriedly came to tell the father and son to move out.
To own a shop at the entrance of a residential complex like Yujingcheng, one must be quite extraordinary. For money, the landlord might resort to extreme measures.
It would be best if this father and son were sensible, then everyone would be happy.
Upon hearing this, Chen Nian's father immediately realized that the man had actually found the landlord and offered him conditions that he couldn't refuse!
He was so angry that he said:
