While Zhao Youliang was lost in thought, Cheng Chun had already been beaten to a pulp by his lackeys.
As they beat him, the lackeys shouted in their childish voices, "We hit people in the face and insult them by exposing their weaknesses; if you want revenge, live on the second floor."
Zhao Youliang: "......"
Speechless, Zhao Youliang stopped his lackeys: "Hey guys...kids, can you stop fighting for a bit?"
"If we keep hitting him, this guy won't be able to take it, he'll die."
"He can't die yet; there are still many things to figure out."
As it turns out, Zhao Youliang once again overestimated his status within the family.
Upon hearing this, the lackeys hesitated for a moment, and then... then they showed no mercy to Zhao Youliang and beat him even harder.
Zhao Youliang: "......"
Helpless, Zhao Youliang could only wipe the "black lines" from his forehead while looking pitifully at the big yellow dog.
The big yellow dog nodded "proudly" upon seeing this.
The lackeys stopped, but still pressed Cheng Chun face down on the ground.
Seeing this, Zhao Youliang continued, "Hey Cheng, did you have He Xiulian killed?"
Zhao Youliang's words deeply stung Cheng Chun, and he immediately became agitated.
It took the henchmen a lot of effort to subdue him and prevent him from getting up and silencing Zhao Youliang.
Seeing that he couldn't move, Cheng Chun loudly retorted.
"You're talking nonsense, kid!"
"I love Xiaolian so much, how could I bear to kill her?!"
"Are you trying to help that guy surnamed Hu and sow discord between me and Xiaolian?!"
Faced with Cheng Chun's madness, Zhao Youliang remained calm and composed, as if he were a peerless sage who had seen through everything.
If you were to dress him up with a feather fan and silk turban at this moment, he would be like Zhuge Liang... Pigsy reincarnated.
"Don't get agitated, Mr. Cheng. Let me explain slowly."
"You never intended to kill He Xiulian. The purpose of sending people here was to scare her and create the illusion that someone wanted to kill her, right?"
"Then push everything onto Hu Xiaochuan, and He Xiulian will completely give up on Hu Xiaochuan."
"Then you can naturally be with He Xiulian, making her give up all hope."
After Zhao Youliang finished speaking, Cheng Chun went completely mad, and his lackeys seemed to be unable to control him.
Just then, He Xiulian suddenly spoke up, her face full of anger.
"Cheng Chun, tell me, is what this kid is saying true?!"
"Speak! Speak!!"
Now that things had come to this, Cheng Chun realized that the matter had been exposed, so there was no need to hide it anymore.
As she struggled to turn over and look at He Xiulian, she said, "Xiaolian, he's right... but I really never wanted you to die!"
"I only mixed half a packet of rat poison into the food I brought you."
"I ate the other half of the packet myself first. I vomited and had diarrhea afterward. I only dared to give it to you because I was fine after eating it!"
"But who would have thought you'd die like this... I really didn't mean to hurt you!"
"After you died, I wanted to avenge you, so I set fire to that Hu family's warehouse!"
"Who knew...who knew the warehouse would explode and kill me..."
Upon learning the truth, He Xiulian immediately went mad—she could never have imagined it would turn out this way, no matter how hard she tried.
The shrewish He Xiulian ignored everyone else and immediately pounced on Cheng Chun, scratching and clawing at him.
When Li Mao saw that the lackeys were still trying to stop him, he quickly shouted.
"Hey kid, don't meddle in other people's business. Let them fight like dogs and get all messed up!"
Li Mao was naive and didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, but Zhao Youliang immediately realized that Li Mao was in trouble.
Sure enough, the lackeys released Cheng Chun, but then swarmed Li Mao and gave him a brutal beating.
The screams of Li Mao and Cheng Chun, these two "brothers in misfortune," echoed throughout the entire factory.
A moment later, Cheng Chun seemed unable to bear it any longer, pushed He Xiulian away, and ran outside.
As she ran, she continued to explain, "Xiaolian, you have to believe me, I really didn't mean to!"
He Xiulian just screamed and roared, ignoring him, and kept chasing after him, scratching and clawing.
Liao Zhiyuan, who was watching the show, saw the two evil spirits leave and immediately asked Zhao Youliang a question.
"Quantum Bro, should we chase after them?"
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Youliang slowly shook his head: "Let's just leave it at that that Director Hu asked us to do. They won't have the face to cause trouble again."
"The rest is between them. We didn't get paid, so there's no need for us to get involved."
When money was mentioned, Zhao Youliang glanced, intentionally or unintentionally, at the Hu family father and son, who were still in shock.
Hu Dalu, with his long experience in dealing with people and things, immediately understood Zhao Youliang's intentions.
He quickly stuffed the pre-packaged red envelope containing 8,800 yuan into his hand.
"Brother Quantum, thank you so much! I'm deeply grateful!"
"Here's what we'll do: once my new factory starts operating, you can have this young man come and help me out!"
“I think he’s similar to my son, both of us are idle.”
The "little brother" Hu Dalu was referring to was Li Mao.
Although he looks like a street hustler... you have to admit, Hu Dalu is pretty good at judging people.
On the other side, Li Maogang, feeling insulted, wanted to curse, but then he hesitated when he thought of his wife and children.
"So, you're Factory Director Hu, right? How's the pay and benefits for working here?"
"Let me make it clear beforehand, I'll be helping out at Quantum's barbecue restaurant, and I'll get a fixed salary of three thousand yuan a month!"
"And there's a bonus at the end of the month, which is about a thousand yuan!"
Li Mao agreed, and the mainland was naturally more than happy to accept it.
After all, getting in touch with that idiot kid is like being "bound" to Zhao Youliang.
The future is long, and who can guarantee that everything will go smoothly?
For the reasons mentioned above, Hu Dalu immediately patted his chest and guaranteed.
"Don't worry, young man, as long as you come, the position of security captain will definitely be yours!"
"As for the salary... you should let Brother Quantum name it!"
"I will never haggle over the price if he tells me!"
Zhao Youliang smiled wryly upon hearing this, thinking to himself that Hu Dalu really knew how to handle people.
He wanted to refuse, but considering that Li Mao had a family to support, he reluctantly spoke up.
"Boss Hu, just give me whatever you think is fair, that's enough."
"Li Mao is an honest man, and he's a perfect worker."
"Besides...besides, you and your son have done something else, you don't know it yet, do you?"
"What?!" Hu Dalu, already on edge, was shocked upon hearing this.
"Young man, do we have some other sins on our hands?"
"No way!"
"Aside from the matter of He Xiulian, we really haven't done anything else that could kill people!"
Knowing that Hu Dalu was not lying, Zhao Youliang recounted the story of how the "Mount Tai Ghost Soldiers" came to claim his life.
Upon hearing this, Hu Dalu was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.
"How could this happen... how could this happen..."
