Chapter 134 A Bad Premonition Comes to Mind
After the temple destruction incident, life was like a stretched bowstring, taut and liable to break at any time.
Both Xu Yao and Xue Han understood that this was just the calm before the storm.
Boss Li will definitely not let it go after suffering such a huge loss.
Xu Yao strengthened the hygiene management of the snack stall, and the sources of the ingredients were recorded clearly, even more detailed than the wrong answer book of a college entrance examination candidate.
She even secretly asked Aunt Zhang to help keep an eye on any movement in the town.
On this day, the market was crowded and bustling.
Xu Yao's snack stand was crowded with people, and the aroma filled the air, making it hard for people to move.
Xue Han stood beside Xu Yao like a loyal guard, looking around vigilantly.
With his physique, standing there, he was like a mobile human fortress, and the sense of security was overflowing!
Suddenly, a few ferocious thugs pushed through the crowd and walked towards Xu Yao's snack stand in a menacing manner.
They were wearing dirty clothes and had greasy hair, and they looked like bad people at first glance.
One of the yellow-haired guys even arrogantly stepped on the stool and looked at Xu Yao with squinted eyes, like a street bully.
"Madam boss, I got a stomachache after eating here. If you don't give me an explanation today, I'm going to smash your stall!" The yellow-haired man yelled at the top of his voice, and the sound was like a rooster with its tail stepped on.
Seeing this, the surrounding customers stepped back, fearing that they would be dragged into the dispute.
Some of the more timid ones even ran away with their food, fearing that the fire in the city gate would affect them.
Xu Yao's heart skipped a beat and she secretly said, "Here they come!" But her face remained expressionless and she looked at these hooligans calmly.
She noticed that these people's eyes flickered and they always subconsciously looked in a certain direction when they spoke, obviously trying to find trouble.
"Brothers," Xu Yao said calmly, "you said you had stomach upsets. Do you have any evidence? We have detailed records of the sources of our ingredients, and look, so many customers are eating well, and no one has stomach upset." As she spoke, she pointed to the customers around her who were eating with gusto.
The thugs obviously didn't expect Xu Yao to be so calm and were stunned for a moment.
Huang Mao was so angry that he jumped off the stool and pointed at Xu Yao's nose and cursed: "Stop talking nonsense! I said you got sick from eating, so you got sick from eating! If you don't pay me today, I'll make you pay!"
As he said this, he pretended to overturn Xu Yao's snack stand.
Seeing this, Xue Han took a step forward and stood in front of Xu Yao, staring at the yellow-haired man with sharp eyes, exuding a cold aura.
Although he didn't say anything, his eyes seemed to say, "Just try and touch her!"
The yellow-haired man was frightened by Xue Han's aura and subconsciously took a step back.
Although he is arrogant, he also knows that a wise man never suffers a loss in front of him.
It was obvious that the man in front of him was not someone to be trifled with.
Just then, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd.
Several burly and imposing men walked over.
They were wearing ordinary clothes, but they exuded the iron-blooded aura of a soldier.
"What's going on?" one of the men asked in a deep voice.
Xu Yao recognized at a glance that this was Xue Han’s comrade-in-arms who had helped her last time.
She immediately felt relieved. It seemed that Aunt Zhang was well-informed!
When the thugs saw these men, their faces turned pale instantly.
Although they are used to being domineering, they also know that they cannot afford to offend soldiers.
Xu Yao took the opportunity to say, "Brothers, these people said they got sick from eating here and want to destroy my stall. I suspect they are deliberately looking for trouble."
After hearing this, Xue Han's comrades' faces darkened and they turned to look at the ruffians.
"You guys better tell us who sent you here!" one of the men shouted.
The hooligans were so frightened by the scene that they trembled in fear and stammered, unable to speak.
Seeing this, Xu Yao added fuel to the fire: "If you dare to cause trouble here, you will be against the people of the entire market. And we will call the police and let the police handle it."
After hearing this, the ruffians were completely panicked.
They looked at each other and began to hesitate.
At this moment, a sneaky figure appeared at the edge of the crowd...
Boss Li huddled at the edge of the crowd, like a rat stealing oil, his eyes rolling around, cursing in his heart these useless people.
Seeing that these thugs were about to give him up, he slipped away.
He thought to himself that of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one. He might as well escape first and then come back to settle the score with these thugs who dared to ruin his plans!
He crouched down and backed away step by step, like a thief, afraid of being discovered.
Unfortunately, despite all his calculations, he didn't expect Xu Yao to have already arranged spies.
Aunt Wang usually couldn't stand Boss Li's smug face. This time, when she got the chance, she jumped out immediately, pointed at Boss Li's nose and started to curse: "Look everyone! It was this black-hearted Boss Li who ordered these people to cause trouble! He was jealous of Xu Yao's good business and wanted to ruin her!"
Aunt Wang's voice was as loud as that of the square dance aunties and instantly attracted the attention of the entire market.
Everyone's eyes were directed at Boss Li, like a searchlight, illuminating him without any chance of hiding.
Boss Li's face suddenly became more colorful than a color palette, changing from red to white, just like a face-changing artist in an opera.
"Hey, I was wondering how these hooligans could be so bold as to cause trouble in broad daylight. It turns out someone is instigating them!"
"That's right, Boss Li is so wicked. He resorts to shady tactics when his business is not doing well. It's really shameful!"
"I used to go to his house often for dinner, but I didn't expect he was this kind of person. I'm never going there again!"
The discussions around him came like a tide, and every word was like a needle piercing Boss Li's heart.
He felt like he had been stripped naked and thrown on the street, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Aunt Zhang also stood up. She is an old resident of the town, has a wide network of contacts, and her words carry a certain amount of weight.
She put her hands on her hips and said with a righteous look, "Boss Li, you must be honest in doing business. You will be punished sooner or later for engaging in unfair competition like this!"
Boss Li was surrounded in the middle, like a prisoner on trial.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something to defend himself, but found that he couldn't say anything.
He was so angry and anxious that he wanted to tear these people into pieces.
Xue Han's comrades also came over. One of the men patted Boss Li on the shoulder and said, "Boss Li, we advise you to do business properly in the future and stop doing these crooked things. If we find you doing this again, it won't be so easy to solve."
Although the man's tone was calm, the warning in it was self-evident.
Boss Li was so frightened that he trembled all over like a quail and dared not say a word.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the ruffians disappeared without a trace.
They don't want to be taken to the police station, as that would be miserable if they end up in jail.
Seeing that the problem was solved, Xu Yao felt relieved.
She looked at Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhang with gratitude, and expressed her gratitude to Xue Han's comrades-in-arms.
"Thank you all so much today. If it weren't for you, my snack stand would probably have been smashed." Xu Yao said sincerely.
"It's okay, it's just a piece of cake." Xue Han's comrades said with a smile, "If you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, just come to us."
The crowd gradually dispersed and the market returned to its former bustle.
Xu Yao packed up the snack stand and prepared to resume business.
However, at this moment, she noticed that Boss Li did not leave, but stood not far away, staring at her with a vicious look.
That look, like that of a poisonous snake, makes people shudder.
Xu Yao's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came to her mind.
She didn't know what crazy move Boss Li would make next, but she was sure that this storm was not over yet...
Boss Li gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "Xu Yao, you wait for me!"
