Yuchi Gong was first taken aback and quickly became wary, playing a dirty game? How did she know that he wanted to play a dirty game?
Ji Xinhe blinked, "I just casually said something, why is Master Yuchi suddenly so sensitive?"
Yuchi Gong stared at Ji Xinhe’s appearance, and suddenly had a bad premonition. His heart started to beat faster, but he remained calm and didn’t say much. However, the way he looked at Ji Xinhe revealed a hint of scrutiny.
Ji Xinhe suddenly bid farewell with her hands folded, "If that’s the case, I won’t stick around any longer, I’m leaving."
Li Saner hastened to gather his belongings. He chuckled and said, "Master Yuchi, please take care. Our master once told me something that I think might be of use to Master Yuchi now: In business, there are good times and bad times, so it’s important to stay composed."
Yuchi Gong sneered, "Do you think a little Qinghe shop can take over the Yuchi family’s business, passed down through five generations?"
Even if Ji Xinhe renames her own brand and brushes off the bad reputation of plagiarism, it’s not so easy to compete against Yueke Lai’s business!
Not to mention other things, the grape wine of the Yuchi family has been supplied exclusively to the royal family for generations. It’s a century-old shop with historical heritage. Can an emerging shop like Qinghe take over his entire business?
That’s absurd!
But Li Saner just smiled silently.’’
At this moment, a person dressed like a servant rushed in, "It’s bad, it’s bad!"
Li Saner quickly asked, "Fuquan? What happened?"
Fuquan, a worker in the workshop, nervously said, "Miss! Our workshop has sprung a leak, there’s a great fire! Miss, you’d better get back there quickly."
Yuchi Gong suddenly burst into laughter, "This is truly a case of divine retribution. It’s just a question of how it will manifest for you!"
Ji Xinhe sneered, "I don’t really believe in fate, but if Master Yuchi does, then I believe that since this misfortune has fallen upon me, Master Yuchi won’t be spared either."
Yuchi Gong snorted, "What do you mean?"
At this moment, he seemed quite satisfied. Ji Xinhe’s winery was on fire, let’s see how she acts arrogant now!
But just the next second, another servant rushed through the crowd, panting furiously, "Master, master, it’s terrible!"
Yuchi Gong’s heart gave a great leap. The bad premonition he had just suppressed resurged in his mind and he couldn’t help but shout, "What happened? Don’t panic!"
The servant looked as if he was about to die, "Master! Our winery is on fire! It’s all burning!"
Yuchi Gong staggered, almost falling to the ground. His face turned pale, "My wine! Is it all gone?!"
The servant hesitated, "Well, when the fire started, everyone was eating in the backyard. The fire spread quickly, and there was, there was no way to put it out."
"Fools! Don’t you know to put out the fire? If my wine is gone, can you bunch of idiots afford to compensate?!" Yuchi Gong was beside himself with rage.
The servant shivered, too scared to speak. Who would dare to rush into such a large fire? They were all just thankful to have their lives intact, how could they think of saving the inanimate goods?
Of course, they didn’t dare to say this. The servant just made a grim face and said, "Master, it’s not that we don’t dare to save the wine. It’s just that inside the winery, well, you know it’s full of wine, which can ignite easily. How can we have the chance to put out the fire?"
Ji Xinhe exclaimed, "I just mentioned it casually a moment ago, but I didn’t expect Master Yuchi’s retribution to come so quickly."
Yuchi Gong wished he could slap her. This woman must have done it on purpose!
How could his winery suddenly catch fire? And the timing was just too coincidental with hers, unless he was a fool to believe it was a coincidence!
Ji Xinhe laughed coldly, "I’ll return Master Yuchi’s words to him as they were just now. What goes around comes around, doing evil will attract retribution!"
With that, she turned and left.
Li Saner stared fiercely at Yuchi Gong and quickly followed Ji Xinhe out. He used to be quite fearful of Yuchi Gong, but for some reason, with Ji Xinhe backing him, he felt confident.
Being supported by a woman, Li Saner didn’t feel the slightest embarrassment. His boss was just that great, so what!
Although Yuchi Gong was furious, he didn’t have time to argue with Ji Xinhe. He rushed through the crowd and ran towards his own winery while yelling at his servants, "Useless things! Can’t you see the fire! Go extinguish it!"
Thinking of his priceless wine, Yuchi Gong only felt as if his heart was bleeding!
The spectators were stunned, it seemed they had not reacted to what had happened yet.
"Hey, what the hell is going on? How did both houses catch fire at the same time?"
"Could it be a setup? Look at how much wine must have been burned."
"I don’t know, this is very strange, let it be. It’s time for us to disperse."
-----
Ji Xinhe got on the horse carriage, and Li Saner quickly followed and jumped up on the board.
"To the winery." Ji Xinhe ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
The winery was still filled with thick smoke, and the fire was roaring.
When Ji Xinhe’s carriage arrived, Fuquan was organizing everyone to put out the fire.
"Miss is here!" Seeing Ji Xinhe, Fuquan hurried over, "This place is full of smoke and fire. Why did you make a special trip here, Miss? Let us handle it."
Ji Xinhe looked at the fire. Although she had anticipated it, she was still shocked to see it with her own eyes. Such a big fire, how much kerosene must have been poured? Yuchi Gong was truly ruthless!
At this moment, she felt that the fire she set in his backyard was too small!
"Were there any injuries?"
Fuquan quickly replied, "Don’t worry, Miss. When you sent someone to notify us, I had already gathered everyone in the backyard. When the fire started, we ran straight out to get water to extinguish it. No one was injured."
Ji Xinhe nodded. She saw the unstoppable blaze and felt a chill in her eyes. This fire might not have been necessary today, but without it, how could she brazenly set fire to the winery of Yueke Lai?
Yuchi Gong wasn’t a fool. Knowing his backyard was on fire, he must have suspected her, but what could he do now? He had been underhanded himself, so he had to choke on this anger!
Fuquan wiped soot from his face and started grinning, "I heard just now that the fire at Yueke Lai was much fiercer. I reckon all the wine from the winery is gone. Yuchi Gong initially wanted to harm Miss, but instead, his own backyard caught fire. Miss, you just left him with an empty yard to burn. Humph! This is the retribution he deserves!"
