Chapter 27 The mastermind behind this is...
The family of three planned to have lunch in the city and then accompany Chi Wan to go shopping for Li Xingye and others.
While eating, Chi Wan mentioned the group of people who had committed fraud.
Chi Yuanshan and his wife, who were originally chatting and laughing, suddenly looked changed and hurriedly asked what was going on.
After listening to Chi Wan's story, the two also felt a little strange.
"Could it be Liu Dali's gang who did it again?" Song Yinghe said with a cold face.
Chi Wan shook his head: "It doesn't seem like it. If it was really them, they wouldn't use such gentle means."
Chi Yuanshan also agreed with Chi Wan's point of view: "These people are more likely to seek wealth. But what Wan Wan thought also makes sense. How could it be such a coincidence? Apart from anything else, this is the largest wholesale market in the city. People come and go every day. There are all kinds of people. It doesn't make sense to take such a big risk just to target an unknown girl."
Chi Wan held his chin and poked at the food in the bowl intermittently: "Maybe someone told them about our family's situation? After all, this would make the most valuable thing in our family, which is the fruit trees on that mountain, become worthless..."
Chi Yuanshan put down his chopsticks instantly and frowned, "So, it is very likely that they are coming for our orchard."
Song Yinghe also realized that there might be something wrong here: "If the ghost orchid is really as valuable as they say, why would they ask for only 200,000 yuan. Unless they know that my family can't afford more money..."
If Chi Wan was really the only one here today, and was frightened by their scene, how could he sign a compensation contract? Where would he get the two hundred thousand yuan in compensation?
The only option is to sell the orchard or take a deduction.
At this moment, none of the three people were in the mood to eat.
After Chi Wan put everything together, he was so angry that he almost laughed: "No matter who did it, do you think I'm a moron?"
"Otherwise, why don't you ask the person who tried to scam you? Maybe he knows something." Chi Yuanshan suggested, "Since you know the owner of that market, you can borrow his influence."
Chi Wan had not pursued the matter further because he felt that in a situation like this where the fraud attempt had failed, it would be hard to explain even if he called the police. From now on, with Zhou Huaian's name, those people would not be so stupid as to cause trouble again, so he didn't bother with them.
With that said, it is indeed possible to borrow Zhou Huaian's name to bully others and see if you can trick the person behind the trouble.
However, none of the three expected that the question would lead to a result that no one had anticipated.
After lunch, the family of three went straight to the warehouse.
It was still the female boss that Chi Wan had dealt with before who was guarding the goods coming in and out. When she saw Chi Wan, her face changed slightly and she hurried over to greet him.
"Girl, I'm really sorry. I've already scolded my husband. How could I be so careless as to do such a thing?"
The annoyance on the woman's face did not seem to be fake: "But can you please forgive him once for the sake of him not really hurting you, and don't tell Boss Zhou. I...I can kneel down for you!"
Chi Wan frowned as he looked at the woman kneeling down without hesitation. He turned aside but did not help her up. “Are you sure you want to do this? Everyone around is watching. If you kneel down to me for no reason, what if Boss Zhou hears about it and he asks me about it, what should I say?”
The woman heard that and stood up quickly. She invited Chi Wan and the other two to a small shed and said humbly, "Girl, I know you are a good person. In fact, my husband is not... He was forced..."
Hearing this, Chi Yuanshan couldn't help but ask: "Sister, who would force you to deal with a little girl?"
Song Yinghe also stepped forward and grabbed the woman's arm: "Who is it?!"
The woman shook her head with a bitter expression: "When you came here this time, I guessed what you wanted to say. But whether you believe it or not, we don't know anything. We just said that my husband tricked you into signing an agreement.
"We don't understand what the agreement is, but the messenger said that they just wanted to teach you a small lesson and would not involve other people. We are in the warehouse logistics and transportation business. If we are blocked in one of the links, we have to bow our heads. There is really nothing we can do.
"If we knew that you were Boss Zhou's friend, we would also... I'm not saying this to shirk responsibility, I just want to tell you that we really have no choice. If Boss Zhou knew about this, our family would have no way to survive..."
The woman's words sounded so pitiful that if you didn't know better you would think that her family was the victims.
Chi Wan's face didn't show much fluctuation, he just said calmly: "How did you know I would come here today?"
The woman's words were interrupted and her expression paused. She originally thought that Chi Wan was young and a little girl, so she should be very soft-hearted. Unexpectedly, after saying all that, Chi Wan's expression didn't even change, and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
"In fact, the person who passed the message told us about the flower pot and the whole process. He also told us about your coming here today. We didn't know that either."
Chi Wan probably guessed that the woman was caught in the middle and no one dared to offend her.
But she was even more curious, who knew their situation and was staring at the only things left in their house...
An incredible thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
Knowing that he probably wouldn't get anything out of her, Chi Wan didn't listen to the woman's excuses and pulled Chi Yuanshan and Song Yinghe away.
"Wanwan, what's wrong?" Song Yinghe was a little puzzled: "Even if we don't know who ordered it, we can just ask who brought it to her."
Chi Wan said softly, "Mom, do you still remember that before our family went bankrupt, grandma said she wanted to buy a house for my uncle?"
Song Yinghe was stunned, then her face turned pale: "Wanwan, you mean..."
Seeing Song Yinghe like this, Chi Wan felt a little bit reluctant, but there were some things that she really had to let her mother, who still had expectations for her parents' home, know.
As she pulled Song Yinghe towards the aquatic area, she whispered, "Actually, they came to me later."
Even Chi Yuanshan was a little surprised, and then he became angry: "Why did they ask you to do that? Wanwan, why didn't you tell mom and dad?"
Chi Wan smiled, but thinking of the scene at that time, there was no warmth in his smile: "I don't know who told them that there would be a large amount of funds left after bankruptcy, so they came to ask me if I had any money hidden at home."
In fact, the original words were even more outrageous. She didn't even want to recall the face of her so-called uncle: "Wanwan, I heard that some companies use bankruptcy to avoid debt... Could it be that your father filed for bankruptcy because he didn't want to pay for the house for me?"
I don't even know where to complain about this.
After being scolded away by Chi Wan, he cursed even more: "Who would believe that your family is really out of money? Hundreds of thousands were not enough for your pocket money. If you don't give it to me, I'll ask my sister for it."
