Su Chenhao walked up to him and said, "Release him right now."
"Hey! Are you threatening me?" Xiao Deshun stomped his right foot: "Damn it, I've never lost a fight. Want to have a go?" He then rolled up his sleeve.
Without saying a word, Su Chenhao grabbed his neck, his movements swift and ruthless, and threw him aside.
Before the people around could react, the person had already fallen at their feet.
Qiao Haixing quickly got up from the ground and explained to Qiao Xiaoni, "He's talking nonsense. I didn't sell him the formula. He blocked my way and dragged me here."
He decided to deny it to the death, since the other party had no evidence anyway, and if the matter were exposed, his relationship with his older brother would be over.
Xiao Deshun hit his teeth when he fell, and his mouth was full of blood.
At this moment, Xiao Ruxue also ran out of the house and went straight to her younger brother. She pulled him up from the ground and saw that he was bleeding from his mouth. She was heartbroken and hurriedly wiped the blood away with her hands.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Deshun pointed at Qiao Haixing: "He wouldn't pay us back, so I dragged him to the door, but now he's denying everything."
He sold me that formula, causing us to lose so much money; he has to compensate us for it.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiao Ruxue didn't know what to say. Her younger brother was usually very shrewd, so how did he turn into a fool at this crucial moment?
"Sister, this guy is lying through his teeth. He clearly charged me 150 yuan, gave me the recipe and ingredients, and made us work for nothing for several days. We finally opened for business, but the food he made was extremely awful." Xiao Deshun blurted out everything he shouldn't have said.
Only after he said it did he realize he might have said the wrong thing. How could he have blurted out the truth? He was so angry that he lost his temper, and then the man tripped him, which led him to blurt out the truth.
People around them pointed and whispered, saying that the family was dishonest for spending money to steal someone else's secret recipe.
Qiao Haixing could tell from his niece's expression that she didn't believe him, so in an attempt to salvage the situation, he kept looking behind her.
“Where’s your dad? I want to tell him that I really didn’t steal the secret recipe, and that they’re framing me.”
"Second Uncle, stop acting. I've known for a long time that you wanted to steal the secret formula. Otherwise, do you think you could have stolen it all by yourself without anyone noticing?" Qiao Xiaoni felt the time was right and told the truth in front of everyone.
Qiao Haixing's face turned ashen. It turned out that his niece had orchestrated everything. No wonder everyone had disappeared so easily that day. He had stolen the secret recipe with ease, thinking he had gotten a great deal, but it turned out they had tricked him.
"You're shameless!" Xiao Ruxue was furious when she learned the truth. The shop she had worked so hard to open had been ruined by their scheming.
Qiao Xiaoni: "Are we shameless or are you shameless? Let the neighbors be the judge. You see our business is booming, so you want to steal our secret recipe?"
If you can do it on the first day of the month, we can do it on the fifteenth! My family runs a business, and we've never really been afraid of anyone!
His words exuded an air of dominance, and those around him couldn't help but applaud.
The atmosphere at the scene immediately became lively.
Xiao Ruxue knew that everything was over because of her carelessness; the store's reputation was completely ruined.
