Chapter 133 Boss Li's Revenge
"Yaoyao, don't worry. We will deal with it as soon as possible." Xue Han rubbed Xu Yao's hair comfortingly, but his tone was firm and unquestionable. "I want to see what tricks he can play."
Xu Yao looked at Xue Han's resolute profile and felt a lot more at ease.
She knew that Xue Han was like a mountain, able to protect her from wind and rain.
But she is not a dodder who hides behind a man. She must accept Boss Li’s blatant provocation!
At the market, the air is filled with the aroma of food and the noise of the crowd. It seems to be a prosperous scene, but in fact there are undercurrents.
Xu Yao and Xue Han walked side by side, keenly capturing the subtle changes in the surrounding atmosphere.
Some customers who were originally drooling over Xu Yao's snack stand now stopped to watch, whispering, with suspicion and hesitation in their eyes.
"It seems that Boss Li has already started to act." Xu Yao said in a low voice. There was no panic in her tone, but instead a hint of excitement, like a female general about to go to the battlefield.
"I'll arrange more people to secretly keep an eye on Boss Li to see what he is trying to do." Xue Han said in a deep voice, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.
Xu Yao nodded, already having a plan in mind.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat.
In addition to Xue Han's secret investigation, she also needs more information from the open.
Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhang are her best sources of information.
Aunt Wang, the "gossip girl" at the market, is very well-informed and can be compared to a walking gossip broadcaster.
Aunt Zhang has lived in the town for decades and has a wide network of contacts, knowing all kinds of people. She is simply a hidden boss.
"Aunt Wang, is there anything new at the market recently?" Xu Yao asked with a smile, handing Aunt Wang a string of freshly fried chicken fillets.
Aunt Wang took the chicken fillet, took a bite, squinted her eyes and enjoyed the delicious taste, and said vaguely: "Oh, there are so many new things! For example, Boss Li has been very busy recently..."
As expected by Xu Yao, Boss Li spread rumors everywhere, saying that Xu Yao's snack bar used inferior ingredients and colluded with unscrupulous businesses. He simply engraved the word "bad guy" on his forehead.
"Boss Li has lost all his dignity in the pursuit of competition!" Aunt Wang said indignantly, as if she was the one being thrown dirty water.
From Aunt Zhang, Xu Yao got more worrying news: Boss Li seemed to be in contact with some thugs, and he might be going to use force.
"It seems that Boss Li wants to fight to the death." Xu Yao sneered, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
When the enemy comes, she will fight back; when the water comes, she will block it with earth. She, Xu Yao, is not a pushover!
Only by taking the initiative can you seize the initiative.
Xu Yao decided to first stabilize the customers in the market and dispel the rumors spread by Boss Li.
"Xue Han, Aunt Wang, let's act together!" Xu Yao said with high morale, as if she was full of strength.
The three of them divided the work among themselves. Xue Han was responsible for purchasing the freshest ingredients, while Xu Yao and Aunt Wang were responsible for making detailed descriptions of the sources of the ingredients and posting them in the most conspicuous place in the snack stall so that all customers could clearly see them.
"This chicken is bought from Lao Wang's family. His chickens are all free-range, with delicious meat and rich nutrition..." Xu Yao pointed and explained to the customers in a sincere and enthusiastic tone.
At the same time, Xu Yao mobilized the connections she had accumulated at the market and asked some old customers to help promote the hygiene and quality of the snack bar.
"Xu Yao is a very honest girl in her business. She uses only the best ingredients. You can eat her food with confidence!" an old customer said loudly, his tone full of trust and appreciation.
With the joint efforts of Xu Yao, Xue Han and Aunt Wang, the business of the snack stand gradually returned to normal, and customers gradually dispelled their doubts.
As night fell, people in the market gradually dispersed.
Xu Yao and Xue Han walked side by side on the way home, the moonlight shining on them seemed particularly warm.
"Today is really thanks to Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhang, as well as those old customers who support us." Xu Yao said with emotion, her heart full of gratitude.
Xue Han held Xu Yao's hand tightly and said, "Yaoyao, you are the best. Your kindness and sincerity have won everyone's trust."
"But, as for Boss Li..." Xu Yao's tone was filled with a hint of worry.
"Don't worry, I've arranged people to keep an eye on him. If he really dares to do anything reckless..." Xue Han's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, "I will never let him go!"
At this moment, Xue Han's spy next to Boss Li sent a message: "Report, Boss Li and a few hooligans are at..."
"Where?" Xu Yao's heart sank suddenly...
"Report, Boss Li is meeting with a few hooligans in the dilapidated temple at the east end of the town tonight!"
When Xu Yao heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she cursed inwardly, "Fuck, this old guy is serious!"
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, her mind working rapidly.
A head-on confrontation will definitely not work. We are all honest businessmen here, and we cannot be compared with thugs and gangsters.
Get smart!
She rolled her eyes and looked at Xue Han beside her, with a sly smile on her face: "Dear, it seems that it's time to show your true strength!"
Xue Han raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of pampering and eagerness: "Madam, please give me your orders!"
"Hey, didn't you always say that all of our former comrades were tough guys who could fight ten people at once? Now is the time for them to make use of their remaining energy!" Xu Yao said with a sly smile, "Let them go around the ruined temple at night, just as if they were... old comrades reminiscing about the past!"
Xue Han understood immediately, and a devilish smile appeared on his lips: "I promise to complete the task!"
As night fell, a chilly wind blew through the dilapidated temple at the east end of the town, and the ruined Buddha statue looked particularly hideous in the moonlight.
Boss Li stood in front of a group of ruffians with a big smile on his face, nodding and bowing like a pug.
"Brothers, I'm counting on you this time! After the matter is done, you will all benefit!" Boss Li said as he handed over a few packs of cigarettes. There were sexy girls printed on the cigarette boxes, which were so tacky.
The yellow-haired leader, holding a cigarette in his mouth, squinted his eyes at Boss Li and said disdainfully, "Don't worry, Boss Li! In this town, no one dares to disrespect me! That Xu Yao dares to steal our business. It's like lighting a lamp in the toilet - courting death!"
The other thugs also laughed and used foul language that was unbearable to hear.
Although Boss Li felt uncomfortable, he could only put on a smile. After all, when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Just as they were discussing how to give Xu Yao an "unforgettable lesson", a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the dilapidated temple.
"Hey, isn't this Lao Wang's motorcycle? Why is he here in this shabby place?"
"It seems that there are Lao Zhao and Lao Liu as well. Aren't they both working in the city? Why are they both back?"
"What are they doing here at this hour of night? Are they... going to have a fight?"
Boss Li and the thugs looked at each other, feeling a little scared.
These people who suddenly appeared were all big and strong, and they looked like they were not someone you would mess with.
"Brother Huangmao, do you want to go out and take a look?" a younger brother asked tremblingly.
Huang Mao was a little hesitant, but in order to show his strength in front of Boss Li, he still said, "What are you afraid of! Let's go out and take a look!"
When the group walked out of the dilapidated temple, they saw several men in plain clothes gathered together smoking, each with a fierce look on their face.
"What do you do?" the yellow-haired man asked in a stern voice.
The leading man spit out his cigarette butt and said slowly: "We are Xue Han's comrades-in-arms. We heard that there is unrest around here, so we came to take a look."
"Xue Han's comrade-in-arms?" The yellow-haired man was stunned for a moment, then his face changed drastically.
He had heard of Xue Han's name in the town a long time ago. He was a veteran who killed people without blinking an eye!
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! We are just passing by, passing by!" The yellow-haired man quickly put on a smile, wishing he could turn around and run away immediately.
"Really? Why did I hear that you were going to deal with Xue Han's fiancée?" The man sneered, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Huang Mao was so scared that his legs went limp and he almost fell to the ground. "No! Absolutely not! How dare we deal with Sister Xue! We just came here... to enjoy the moon!"
The other thugs also echoed each other, and each of them wanted to curl themselves up into a ball for fear of being targeted by Xue Han's comrades.
When Boss Li saw this scene, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
The "rescrutiny" he hired at such a high price was actually frightened into a coward by a few retired veterans!
Xue Han's comrades did not make things difficult for them. They just warned them not to harass Xu Yao again, and then turned and left.
Huangmao and the others fled from the ruined temple as if they had been pardoned, not even daring to look back.
Boss Li looked at the empty and dilapidated temple, his heart filled with despair.
He knew that he was completely screwed this time.
On Xu Yao's side, she also breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that Boss Li was scared away by Xue Han's comrades.
"It seems that this trick of 'helping comrades' really works!" Xu Yao said proudly, "However, Boss Li will definitely not give up, and he may have some more ruthless tricks in mind!"
Xue Han nodded, his eyes full of vigilance: "Yaoyao, we should be careful."
Yes, what more ruthless tricks will Boss Li use?
When will those ruffians appear?
Xu Yao knew very well that this was just the calm before the storm.
She must be fully prepared to deal with any situation that may happen next...
"Xue Han, do you think...Boss Li will..." Xu Yao hesitated, her eyes full of worry.
Xue Han held Xu Yao's hand tightly and said firmly: "No matter what he wants to do, I will not let him hurt you at all!"
