In the afternoon, Sun Xingyan arrived at the shop with several people, including two thugs who had been beaten black and blue and looked as dirty and pitiful as two stray dogs.
"Found it, it was these two who did it last night."
"Thank you for your help, Xiao Sun."
Since Sun Xingyan said so, Xia Baozhu didn't press the matter further. Regardless of whether it was these two people or not, the matter was settled, and she spent three thousand yuan to buy some fame.
If you offend her, either run away or wait to get beaten up.
After these people left.
"Why don't you ask them who ordered them?" Sun Xingyan leaned on the counter, looking at Xia Baozhu.
"Didn't you ask? You didn't get any answers, did you?"
“I couldn’t get the answer, but I know who it was.” Sun Xingyan didn’t keep them in suspense and went straight to the point, “Do you remember those four people you beat up on the second night after you opened your business?”
"You knew about this? Your information network is quite good." Xia Baozhu stopped what she was doing, not expecting Sun Xingyan to know what she had done.
This morning, that woman who reverted to her ancestral ways, Li Guifang, said something quite insightful: "If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place."
"Because one of the people you hit was a relative of someone I know's lover. He had previously asked me to talk to you about it, but I told him it was useless to talk to you and that he should go to Chenshanlou instead."
"I never imagined I'd offended someone I didn't know." Xia Baozhu laughed self-deprecatingly. "So this time it's his lover getting revenge on me."
"Yes, and the ones doing the work weren't the same two from before; they just offended someone and had to fill in."
"Okay, I understand. Let's let this go and hopefully it won't happen again."
Although Xia Baozhu spoke calmly, her anger caused her to accidentally crush the glass in her hand.
Sun Xingyan stared at her in disbelief, then at the shards of glass in her hand.
If she were to slap him, his bones would shatter.
"What's wrong?" San Gou came over and looked at the broken glass on the counter.
"It's okay, the cup had a crack, it broke as soon as I picked it up, I can clean it up myself."
Xia Baozhu was also startled by her own strength. Could she kill a cow with that kind of force?
She really needs to be more careful when she gets into fights in the future. If she accidentally kills someone, half of her life will be over.
"Zhao Di, were you born with such great strength?" Sun Xingyan asked cautiously.
"Yes, he's naturally strong."
"That's good. Can I take you with me as my bodyguard when I travel far away in the future?"
"Me? No way, I'm too lazy to travel far." Xia Baozhu shook her head; being a bodyguard wasn't part of her career plan.
"How about I give you a high price, and you get one-tenth of my profits?"
"I still have a shop."
"Your shop earns at most 20,000 a year, but if you come with me on one trip, you'll earn about that much."
"We'll see, I have things to do right now." She'll be completely free once the divorce is over.
"I'm not going out now; I'll tell you when I leave."
"Okay." Xia Baozhu agreed for the time being.
Today was another day of leaving get off work early. San Gou and Zheng Zhenhao put up Spring Festival couplets and the character "福" (good fortune) on the door.
Xia Baozhu pasted paper-cut window decorations on the windows and walls, and she also hung several strings of small red lanterns, making it look festive for the New Year.
They wished each other a Happy New Year, and Xia Baozhu rode her bicycle around the city. Everywhere was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and there were many stalls selling all sorts of things.
In the past, she would always go back to the Xia residence for the Lunar New Year. The Xia residence was her playground when she was a child, and it is now a temporary place for her to stay when she grows up.
No matter the era, the Xia residence was always adorned with bright red lanterns during the Lunar New Year, and beautiful fireworks could be seen rising from time to time.
The carefully placed fresh flowers and colorful adorable teddy bears often attract her to stop and admire them.
At that time, she didn't feel that the New Year was much different from any other day; it was just a matter of getting together for a meal.
Now, however, she misses this time last year. Back then, it seemed ordinary, but she never expected to end up here.
Although things weren't that bad, there was always a sense of uncertainty about my life.
Xia Baozhu stopped her bicycle and bought a woven red rope from a stall. A piece of irregular red agate was strung on it, and it looked very much like a heart. It was very beautiful.
I bought a set of comic books, several magazines, and a collection of contemporary poetry at a bookstall.
I bought a fluffy snow rabbit hat from the hat stall. It's a pretty upside-down cylindrical shape and matches the scarf Leng Minghui bought perfectly. It's warm and cute.
Xia Baozhu munched on a string of candied hawthorns, hung the things on the handlebars, and slowly rode along, holding the bike with one hand.
During the Lunar New Year, neither the stall owners nor the thieves take a break; they are all working hard for money.
Along the way, Xia Baozhu knocked away four pickpockets with stones, and then she was also targeted by thieves.
Naturally, she caught the thief red-handed.
Xia Baozhu called for nearby security personnel to come and take the thief away.
She dropped her candied hawthorn while catching a thief, so she bought a roasted sweet potato and continued eating it.
"Xia Zhaodi, aren't you going home yet?" Chen Shanlou came over from the side, looking at Xia Baozhu's red lips stained with yellow sweet potato, and his throat couldn't help but bob.
Does she know how many people are secretly watching her eat?
To ensure public security during the Lunar New Year holiday, he was on duty today just like any other police officer. Due to his job duties, he also had to travel from one place to another.
This made it easier for him to pursue his own selfish desires.
When he spotted Leng Minghui's car in front of a hotel, he used his power to catch them red-handed.
He spotted Xia Baozhu's face in the crowd and immediately got out of the car to follow her.
"I'll buy some things before I go back."
"I have some good news for you, do you want to hear it?"
"Listen," Xia Baozhu replied succinctly.
"I've caught your man red-handed."
"This is indeed good news."
"Aren't you going to ask what this leverage is?"
What is it?
"A photo of the two of them in one bed."
Xia Baozhu stopped and looked at him in shock: "How did you get your hands on it?"
"Of course we'll find a way."
Chen Shanlou was pleased to see the expression on Xia Baozhu's face, which made him feel that his efforts had not been in vain, but his answer was no different from nothing.
What do you want to do with it?
"Do you want to?"
"Is it possible?" Xia Baozhu didn't think Chenshanlou would give it to her so easily.
"Of course, but you have to promise me one thing."
"Never mind then." Xia Baozhu knew immediately that Chen Shanlou had no good intentions, so she pushed the cart forward.
"It's a very simple thing, you can do it yourself."
"It's not going to be a signature, is it?"
"almost."
"Then you should keep it."
"Alright then, I'll keep it for myself. You can come to me when you need it."
After finishing his sentence, Chen Shanlou left, like an underground worker making a meeting on the street.
