"Alright, let's go in and take a look!"
Without giving it much thought, Wang Qian immediately headed towards the main gate.
Regardless of Shen Chong's schemes, the most important thing right now is to get Lin Chao released on bail.
But just as he was about to go in, Lin Chao came out first.
"Xiao Chao, are you alright?"
Wang Qian and Yang Shenglong hurriedly went to greet them.
"Brother-in-law, Brother Long, I'm alright!"
Lin Chao glanced back and lowered his voice, saying, "Let's go back first."
"Alright!"
Wang Qian didn't press the matter on the spot. He hailed a taxi and returned to the Niangui Grilled Green Pepper Sauce specialty store.
"Xiao Chao, what exactly happened?"
Upon returning to the store, Wang Qian asked seriously.
"They just took me to give some statements."
Lin Chao said, "They asked me if I had cooperated with gangsters or if I had rented the store through illegal means."
"That's all?" Wang Qian was slightly taken aback.
He thought that Shen Chong's smugness meant he had fabricated some false evidence to slander Lin Chao.
Now it seems that it's not as serious as he imagined.
That's all.
Lin Chao said, "The reason Shen Chong called the police was that he did not rent out his shop willingly, but was coerced by some criminals."
"So what was your answer?" Wang Qian pressed.
"Of course I don't know!"
Lin Chao shrugged. "We rented this shop space voluntarily. Where's the coercion?"
He paused, then added, "Moreover, we rented it in Zhou Yuanyuan's name. If Shen Chong wants to frame me again, he'll need enough evidence."
"What was your response regarding your cooperation with illegal elements?" Wang Qian asked again.
"Of course I don't admit it!"
Lin Chao said, "Why should I admit to something that never happened?"
"That's good!"
Wang Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he had never done anything illegal, he did use a series of less-than-honorable methods to take over the shop.
Lin Chao knew some of the inside story, and if the other party made up stories, even if he could eventually clear his name, it would still be a troublesome matter.
"Brother-in-law, although I'm fine now, I'm afraid the shop matter will have to be delayed again!"
Lin Chao said angrily, "That Shen Chong is simply shameless. He took the rent, and it was for ten years, but now he's trying to renege on his promise."
"Did you say anything about this during your interrogation just now?" Wang Qian asked thoughtfully.
Yes, there is, but it shouldn't matter much.
Lin Chao truthfully replied, "They only asked me if I had conspired with criminals to coerce Shen Chong. After I confessed honestly, they released me. As for that shop, I don't know if it can continue to be renovated."
At this point, he looked at Wang Qian apologetically, "Brother-in-law, I messed up this time, I'm sorry."
"It wasn't your fault, why are you apologizing to me?"
Wang Qian reached out and tapped Lin Chao on the head, comforting him, "Don't worry, I'll handle this. You don't need to worry or blame yourself. Just continue doing what you were doing before."
"Have you thought of a solution?"
Lin Xiaoyu, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but ask.
She was also frightened by what happened.
Both Wang Qian and Lin Chao were her closest relatives, and she naturally didn't want anything to happen to either of them.
"Yuanyuan, it seems we'll need you to take charge this time!"
Wang Qian looked at Zhou Yuanyuan and said, "That shop was rented in your name. When it was being renovated, only you were there, so Shen Chong had no reason to stop it."
"Okay, I'll do anything you can do."
Zhou Yuanyuan agreed without the slightest hesitation.
But Wang Qian stared intently at Zhou Yuanyuan and asked with utmost seriousness, "Can I trust you?"
Zhou Yuanyuan was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding the meaning behind Wang Qian's words.
Lin Chao, standing nearby, grew anxious, "Brother-in-law, Yuanyuan, she..."
"Don't speak yet!"
Before Lin Chao could finish speaking, Wang Qian waved his hand to interrupt him, and continued to stare at Zhou Yuanyuan, asking, "Answer my question."
Zhou Yuanyuan suddenly became a little nervous.
But after exchanging a glance with Lin Chao, she nodded emphatically, "Boss, you can completely trust me!"
"Okay, that's enough!"
Wang Qian's serious expression vanished, replaced by a wide grin. "I have a plan, but I need your cooperation. Can you do it?"
"I...tried my best!"
Zhou Yuanyuan assured, "As long as it's not beyond my capabilities, I will cooperate fully."
...
3 PM.
Zhou Yuanyuan, along with several renovation workers and Lin Chao, went to Jinghao Street.
"Oh ho, you dare to come back?"
Just as he arrived at the store entrance, Shen Chong, who had been waiting there, walked over with his arms crossed.
Because of his injury, he walked very slowly, but the smile on his face was incredibly eerie.
"This is a shop I rented, why can't I come here?"
Zhou Yuanyuan said in a deep voice, "I signed a ten-year lease with you in black and white before. Unless I destroy this store, I can do whatever I want with it."
"But I've already reported it to the police. I was coerced into signing the contract, so it doesn't count now!"
Shen Chong seemed to have already thought of these words, and said casually, "Besides, I've already filed a case. Even if you don't come, you'll receive an investigation order sooner or later."
"Okay, let's investigate!"
