"Damn it, how dare they mess with me!"
Fan Hun, in a fit of rage, gave instructions to Shi Taishou behind him.
"Go to Taiping Bridge right now and bring that pig butcher and that inhuman guy over there to me."
Today I'm making them kneel down and kowtow to my sister to apologize, or they won't have a peaceful life in Qingshui Town. I'll torment them to death!
"Yes, young master, I will take some men to bring the butcher to you right away."
Just as Shi Taishou turned to leave, the pockmarked man hurriedly tried to curry favor with him.
"Steward Shi, the butcher Li isn't at Taiping Bridge. I just saw him. He's probably at Qingshui Restaurant right now."
"That's perfect, it saves us the trouble of running around." Shi Taishou led his men straight to the other side.
"Manager, Ruyi Restaurant has returned to normal. Do I still need to keep an eye on things there?" Wang Qi asked as he hurried up to Wu Shiren.
Wu Shih-jen looked surprised. "What exactly happened?"
Wang Qi then recounted in detail what had happened at the entrance of Ruyi Tower, and then added,
"Shopkeeper, those people inexplicably contracted a strange illness, but the man surnamed Chen has already cured them."
They implicated both you and Butcher Li, and signed and affixed their fingerprints to the document.
You'd better think of a good solution, otherwise, if this gets back to Elder Wang, it'll be hard to explain!"
Wu Shiren was getting annoyed and glared at Li the butcher. "Look at the scoundrels you've found! They're all useless and good for nothing. What are we going to do now?"
Butcher Li was also sweating profusely. The other side had the evidence; he was truly in trouble this time.
"What can I do? What can I do? Who knew those guys would suddenly get this strange illness? How can you blame me for this?!"
Wu Shiren sighed helplessly; it seemed his restaurant was about to close down.
Just as the two were sighing, Shi Taishou walked in with his head held high.
"Manager Wu, our young master invites you in."
Wu Shih-jen's face immediately switched to a fawning smile.
"Butler Shi, does Young Master Fan want to eat my twice-cooked pork again? Please wait a moment, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients right away."
"What ingredients do you need? Our young master is at Ruyi Restaurant and wants you to go there." Shi Taishou said, pointing a cold smile at Butcher Li, "And you, come with me!"
"What do you want with us at Ruyi Tower?" Wu Shiren asked, looking completely bewildered.
Shi Taishou said irritably, "What is it? You'll find out when you get there."
When the two heard that Fan Hun wanted to see them, they were extremely unwilling, but they dared not offend the Fan family, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Shi Taishou to the front of Ruyi Tower.
Wu Shiren smiled broadly, "Young Master Fan, I heard you were looking for us."
Butcher Li also bowed and scraped, saying, "Young Master Fan, are you well?"
Fan Hun glared at Wu Shiren with annoyance. "Manager Wu, I heard that since your restaurant is losing to others, you're resorting to underhanded tactics to sabotage them. Is that true?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Shiren paused, an unnatural expression appearing on his face.
"Young Master Fan is joking. I, Wu Shiren, have always been honest and upright in my business dealings. If my business is not as good as others, it is because my skills are not good enough. There is absolutely nothing like those messy things."
"Hmph! Is that so?" Fan Hun ignored him and looked at Butcher Li with disdain.
"Hey Li, you've got some nerve! You actually sent people to surround this restaurant. Do you even know who owns it?"
"He is a great benefactor of the Fan family. For you to bully my benefactor is to disrespect me, Young Master Fan! You blind bastard, are you courting death?!"
Butcher Li's heart skipped a beat. Although he was a notorious rogue in Qingshui Town, he was nothing compared to Fan Hun.
The Fan family is incredibly wealthy and powerful; even a single hair from them is thicker than his waist, and they could easily kill him with a single silver ingot!
He tried his best to defend himself, "Young Master Fan, this is all baseless. Even if you gave me two lives, I wouldn't dare!"
Fan Hun flew into a rage, stepped forward, grabbed Li the butcher by the collar, and slapped him repeatedly across the face while cursing.
"You shameless bastard! Hu Mazi has told you everything, and you still dare to deny it? What are you doing blocking my benefactor's door? Tell me, or I'll beat you to death!"
Li the butcher was so badly beaten that he saw stars, his ears were ringing, and he covered his face in a daze.
He was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, and repeatedly begged for mercy, "Young Master Fan, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again."
"Stop begging me, kneel down and kowtow to my benefactor right now."
"This...this..."
Li the butcher was immediately flustered. He was a notorious scoundrel in the streets. If he were to kneel down and kowtow to a brat in the street, he would lose all face. How could he ever show his face in Qingshui Town again?
As the saying goes, "People need face, trees need bark; a shameless person is invincible, a tree without bark will surely die."
This Fan Hun is not someone a scoundrel like him can afford to offend. Doing things his way is fine, but if he gets angry, he'll definitely get a good beating.
"A wise man doesn't suffer a loss in front of him, for a treacherous person may have a knife or awl behind him." Let him go for now, and we'll seek revenge on this little wench later.
Thinking of this, Butcher Li knelt down with a thud.
"Miss Chen, please spare me! It's all my fault for looking at the sky naked and being blind. I'll never dare to provoke you again. Please forgive me!"
Li the butcher's move caught everyone off guard.
This person is despicable and shameless, and his evil deeds are numerous. Since he can bully others by taking advantage of others' power, if we let him go easily, it will not be enough to establish our authority, and I'm afraid that others will come to cause trouble in the future.
Chen Qingqing's eyes were cold as she stepped forward and grabbed Li the butcher's jawbone. "You pig butcher, I was going to let you off the hook, but you've provoked me time and time again. If I let you off the hook today, you'll never know that I have three eyes."
