Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Send a few men to investigate. When you have the results, report back to me.” Lin Xiaoyue said.
Lin Xiaoyue thought of something and said, “oh, right, also check on Lin Lanhua.”
Lin Lanhua was married to Old Master Liu.
However, she actually instigated Young Master Liu to come and find trouble with her.
This matter was a little strange.
“Yes.” Head Fang replied.
At noon, in the teahouse.
Liu Bowen had been here for the whole morning. There was no sign of Lin Xiaoyue
Even the ruffians did not come.
He could not sit still anymore.
Thus, he arranged for a servant to find out.
After nearly two hours, the servant boy returned, panting.
He told Liu Bowen about what he heard.
“What? Wang San and Zhou Ermazi were both seriously injured? They were even sent to the clinic?” Liu Bowen was shocked.
“Not only that, the rest of the people they brought were also injured.”
“Wang San asked for 20 taels for medical fees. Zhou Ermazi was even more ruthless. He demanded 25 e taels!” The servant frowned and said to Liu Bowen.
“Preposterous! They had the audacity to ask me for money when they haven’t done their job well?!” Liu Bowen slammed the table with his palm.
“Young Master, I’m afraid it won’t do if we don’t give them the money.”
Liu Bowen immediately looked at the servant.
“What happened?” He asked in a deep voice.
No matter how stupid he was, he had already realized that something was wrong.
The servant hurriedly bowed to Liu Bowen again.
“Wang San and Zhou Ermazi said that not long after they caused trouble at Liu’s Express, someone brought people over.”
“One group is under Master Li, and the other group is led by Master Hei.”
The servant carefully looked up at Liu Bowen.
“That’s why they were beaten up so badly.”
“What they mean is that we should be blamed for not investigating the situation clearly in advance.”
“If they knew that they’re going against Master Hei and Master Li, they won’t take the job no matter how much money you give them.”
Liu Bowen’s heart skipped a beat.
Of course, he knew about Master Hei and Master Li.
One was the local tyrant of Qingshi Town, the son-in-law of the Zhou family.
The other was Master Hei’s godbrother. He was also quite well-known in the area around Qingshi Town’s pier.
“What does Liu’s Express have to do with those two?” When he asked this question, Liu Bowen’s voice was a little unsteady.
The two of them had the final say at the dock of Qingshi Town. If they were to offend them, how could they sell the goods they sent to the dock in the future?
Furthermore, if they were targeted, perhaps the merchant ships of the Liu family would not even be able to reach the shore.
Thinking of this, Liu Bowen’s heart was filled with fear.
“They said…” The servant looked at Liu Bowen.
Before Liu Bowen could speak, he finally said, “they said that the Lin family is Master Li’s wife. Also, Master Hei had acknowledged her as his godsister.”
Liu Bowen’s body trembled and he almost fell off his chair.
Master Hei’s sister?
How could this be?
Didn’t they say that she was just a peasant girl from Daishi Village?
After the shock and fear, Liu Bowen thought of Lin Lanhua.
“Damn it, that bitch!” He immediately cursed.
“Go and investigate now. Find out the relationship between Ms. Lin and…” Liu Bowen’s eyes narrowed.
“…Lin Lanhua?”
At this point, how could Liu Bowen not guess that there was something wrong with what Lin Lanhua said to him? Moreover, the problem was not small.
Thinking of this, Liu Bowen wished he could kill Lin Lanhua.
After tasting the spicy skewers from Liu’s Express recommended by a friend, he had fallen in love with them.
Later on, when he came to visit, he found that their business was unexpectedly good, that’s why he was tempted.
He bought the spicy skewers to please his father. He did not expect that b * tch to try them too.
She came to him, saying she knew the owner of Liu’s Express.
Because of this, he did not investigate Lin Xiaoyue’s background at ail and let Lin Lanhua contact her.
Last night, he was instigated by the slut and asked some men to go cause trouble.
He wanted to take the opportunity to force Lin Xiaoyue to give Liu’s Express to him.
Who knew that it would end up like this?
