Chapter 36
Causing Trouble
“Are you sure you signed 500,000?”
Edward nodded hard. “Although the light is dim, I can see the numbers clearly.”
“Dark?” Vivian repeated, frowning.
Edwin suddenly thought of something. He raised his head and said, “By the way, after I signed the first contract that day, the lights suddenly burned. Later, I turned on the decorative lights in the room, but the light was very dim, so I signed the second contract under the light.”
“That’s why! The contract you signed must have been changed to the 1.5 million one at this time!” Vivian said firmly.
However, it was useless even if he knew what was going on. The other party was clearly using his identity as a local snake to trick people.
Edwin was also aware of this, so he didn’t think too much about it. He was only thinking about how to get out of this trouble!
Edwin’s eyes lit up when he saw Vivian. “Miss Vivian, are you willing to take over this bar? A bar that doesn’t have a good business is only worth 500,000 Yuan. The money I gave is more than enough to buy this one! I want to cut ties with those people now. If you’re willing to take over, I’ll give you this bar as a thank-you gift for helping me get out of this!”
Vivian had been in contact with the bar business. In her previous life, her good friend had taken over a bar that was about to close down, and it was thanks to her help that the loss turned into profit. She had experience, but she was not sure if it was worth it to get involved in this mess for a free bar.
From Edwin’s reaction, it could be seen that those people were not to be trifled with. So, after hesitating for a long time, Vivian still refused!
Edwin also knew that he was being a little too desperate. He had been here for ten years, while Vivian had only been in S City for less than a month. How could she have the ability to solve this problem?
Edwin was anxious about the money, so he asked to leave, and Vivian personally saw him out of the door.
The two of them were saying goodbye to each other by the gate of the factory.
“Mr. Edwin, I told you to quickly gather the money. Why are you wandering around?”
“Jerry, this is the factory he sold before.”
“Oh, I see! It’s called Emin Clothing Factory now?”
Seven to eight people got out of the car in the distance, and Jerry, who was in the lead, put his arm around Edwin’s shoulder and smiled evilly. “How is it? How much have you gathered now?”
Edwin clenched his teeth tightly. These people were getting more and more arrogant!
Before this, they had only been waiting at the bar and at the door of his house. Now, did they plan to follow them at all times?
Edwin thought of his wife and children at home. He suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, “I’m gathering the money now. Give me a little more time.”
When Jerry heard this, he threatened, “Mr. Edwin, you’ve been gathering them for a long time! If you can’t get it today, don’t bother keeping your son’s hand!”
Edwin couldn’t hold it in any longer. “Don’t go too far! That bar is only worth 250,000 at most. The 500,000 I paid for it has already exceeded its original value!”
Jerry was just a lackey who followed orders, and he couldn’t be bothered with this. “Don’t talk to me about that. I only know that I either get the money today or take one of your son’s hands!”
A look of despair appeared in Edwin’s eyes. Thinking of his son’s hand, he could only lower his voice and explain, “I’m already gathering money. As long as I sell the farm, I’ll be able to gather enough. Give me a few more days.”
It was only then that Jerry noticed Vivian. His eyes lit up, and he glanced between the two of them frivolously. “Pool money? Hmph! I think you’re taking advantage of this time to go on a date with your mistress, right?”
The red-haired underling behind him looked into Vivian’s eyes with a hint of lust. “Brother, this woman is so beautiful! Let this old man let us play with her?”
This was the first time that Vivian had seen the savagery of the local gang. She could not ignore the despair and helplessness that Edwin felt at that moment. She was about to call for help, but she did not expect the other party to take the initiative to provoke them!
“Mr. Edwin, do you know what to do?” Jerry hinted.
Edwin didn’t expect that things would develop to the point where innocent people would be implicated. “Don’t do anything stupid! Miss Vivian is the owner of the new clothing factory. I came here today to ask her if she wants to buy my farm! We don’t have any private friendship!”
Acquire the clothing factory?
The group of hooligans looked up and down at the young and beautiful woman in front of them in disbelief, and Jerry’s eyes flashed at this moment.
