Chapter 525 Double the trouble
THUMP.Lin Rui dropped the sack that he has been carrying on his shoulder and huffed. ” This man doesn’t look like he weighs much but he is really heavy.” He rolled his shoulder as if he was worried it was going to get dislocated.
Lin Chen hurried over to the sack and untied the rope before dropping the man on the floor and looking at him with an attentive gaze. ” I have never seen this man in my entire life, when did he mix things up in the products?”
Lin Yu rolled his eyes as he sat down on the rock table and poured himself some tea to quench his parched throat. ” do you think he is so stupid as to come in the shop and mess with the products in your presence? He came when you weren’t in the shop but in your office, he would often come to the shop and would ask that girl name Jian Yiyi to show him this and that from the counter and the girl was such a fool in love that she used to agree and show him the products that he wanted to see. He used her trust and then added something to the products, as for what he used to add- we will have to wait for him to wake up.”
And as soon as Lin Yu said this the man on the floor mumbled something before rolling on his back. As soon as he turned around on the hard floor his head fell down with a flump on Lin Chen’s shoes causing the man’s eyes to twitch and snap open. At first, the man was disoriented, he didn’t understand where he was or what he was doing but when Lin Chen’s grinning face came into focus, he jolted awake trying to scurry away from him. ” You…Young master Chen why did you bring me here? I don’t think we have any feud between us?”
Lin Chen chuckled as he took a threatening step forward and almost stepped his shoes right in the centre of the crotch of Xiao Wu. ” Are you sure about that?”
Xiao Wu was scared stiff when he saw that Lin Chen was actually willing to harm him, he shuddered as he recoiled his legs and covered his crotch. ” You..you can’t hurt me. There is no way you are going to hurt me!”
Lin Chen smiled as he swooped down and knotted Xiao Wu’s hair in his fist before pulling the strands as if he was trying to rip Xiao Wu’s brain out of his skull. ” You should have thought that before you tried to harm me and my family’s shop, don’t try to deny it because we know it you, we have investigated every other man who was hooking up with the girls in my shop… and they all are clear, only you alone don’t have a clean background nor do you have an alibi.”
Actually, it was all a lie. The brothers didn’t have the time to deal with every man who was dating this or that, they were just waiting for someone’s patience to run out. And Jian Yiyi did, it was such a coincidence that she was one of those who insisted that she was dating someone from her village and yet it turned out that she was dating a man from the Xing family’s shop with a criminal record of stealing and causing a ruckus in the bar for not being able to pay the debt he owed them.
Even if there was someone else who was on their suspect list the brothers would still have placed their best bet on Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu’s face changed when he heard Lin Chen, now he was upset and angry at his stupidity. He knew it, he should have left the town and taken a long break in his village. Anyway, the money that master Xing paid him was enough for him to buy a few farmlands and live a free life. He was the one who got greedy for a wife from the town and didn’t leave when he had the time to, now he was going to regret it. However, he wasn’t willing to give up either, he smiled as he said, ” my master won’t let me go to the jail, he will surely protect me.”
” Oh bless his poor heart,” said Su Wan as she came out to the front yard after settling Aunt Zhang and second aunt Lin in her room. The guest rooms of their house were full and she had no choice but to settle the two women in her room, as for her she would just start sharing rooms with her husbands. ” He still thinks that his master will save him.”
Lin Chen grinned as he immediately rushed to Su Wan when he saw that the latter sat down next to Lin Yu and started to massage her shoulders. ” Yeah, he still has hope for his master.”
Listening to the two of them play the same tune, Xiao Wu got scared he looked at them as a bad feeling rose in his heart. ” You…what did you do?”
Shen Zizhen snorted lightly. ” What else? Just gave him a taste of his own medicine.”
——
Turns out the taste of Xing Bengt’s own medicine was really bitter. Three days later, complaints started to get filed against the Xing carpenters for using poor quality materials in their furniture. But the situation accelerated on the fourth day when the bed of an official wife’s cracked and splintered. The official’s wife was with a child and the sudden accident startled her and caused her to go into early labour, though the child and the mother were fine, the official was enraged. He immediately started an investigation against Xing Bengt and brought out the matter of them silencing their workers in their backyard and all the tax invasion they have done under their power.
All of a sudden one after another misfortune fell on the Xing family and they became a family of streets rats that everyone avoided from a versatile bunch of businessmen.
Even Xing Bengt was going crazy. So, why in the hell, will he worry about a menial servant?
But it didn’t matter, even if Xing Bengt didn’t care doesn’t mean that the Lin family didn’t care as well, after the second final nail was hammered into the Xing family’s coffin, they took Xiao Wu to the Yamen and filed a complaint against Xing Bengt for intentional injury and damage to their customers and shop.
And When Xing Bengt heard about it, he felt as if he ended up inviting the devil.
