Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

Chapter 266 Don’t Look for the Wrong Person

After hearing Jin Deshun's scolding, the sullen-faced waiter lowered his head with a guilty look on his face and said in a low voice, "Shunzi, I have no choice. Gou Gui is the boss's nephew, and I really dare not offend him. It's not easy to find a job, and my family depends on my salary to make a living. You hit me and scold me, I accept it, it's really my fault."

"Yeah, we feel guilty too." A fat guy nearby, afraid of getting beaten again, chimed in, "We know it's unfair to you, but we..."

Jin Deshun couldn't bear to listen to their excuses and angrily slapped the fat man in the face, interrupting him. "But in the end, you chose to help Gou Gui frame me! Do you know that I have a family to support? If you ruin my reputation like this, which boss would be willing to hire me in the future? You guys are so rotten, are you happy to see my family begging for food?"

Jin Deshun punched the fat guy a few times as if to vent his anger, then returned to Ji Nuan with a look of relief on his face after completing his mission: "Cousin, I've had enough."

Ji Nuan shook her head and said in disgust, "You're too polite to beat someone up, cousin. You'll be easily bullied if you do that."

Jin Deshun: ...

Jin Deshun was speechless for a moment. He didn't dare to use too much force in order not to cause trouble for his cousin, but he was still despised in the end.

Just then, the guy who went out to call someone pushed the door open with a short middle-aged man.

As soon as the man entered, he saw Gou Gui huddled on the ground, groaning in pain, his face bruised and swollen. Several of his servants were lying on the ground in a mess, while Jin Deshun and three strange women were leisurely eating dried meat. The woman sitting there didn't even glance at him, even though she knew he was coming.

He was about to open his mouth to scold Jin Deshun, but Gou Gui got there first and started yelling, "Uncle, Jin Deshun stole your money and was driven away by us. He's not convinced and is looking for revenge!"

The two were uncle and nephew, and without asking why, Boss Liu frowned and angrily demanded, "Well, all these years, I really didn't realize you, Jin Deshun, were such a person! You stole money from the shop, and I didn't report you to the police because you worked at the grain store for several years. But you actually dared to team up with a female gangster to smash up my grain store! I guess I was too kind, so you dared to provoke me again!"

"Are you done? You're so noisy!"

Ji Nuan impatiently threw away the unfinished beef jerky, curled his fingers, and copper coins flew out like arrows from a bow. "Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang", the six large vats placed side by side at the foot of the wall broke into pieces, and the grain inside splashed everywhere and spread all over the ground. The whole grain store instantly looked like it had been smashed and looted.

Xue Bi chuckled inwardly. She had left some room for maneuver when she attacked. Besides knocking the man over, she hadn't damaged anything. Since the boss was so ungrateful, then the young lady's vandalism was their own fault.

Boss Liu was so frightened by this sudden change that he took two steps back. Seeing the food scattered all over the floor, he gritted his teeth in pain. He was shaking and pointing at Ji Nuan, shouting, "You, you, you... you have such a guts!"

Without Ji Nuan's instructions, Xue Bi hated being disrespected by Ji Nuan. She strode briskly to Boss Liu, raised her left hand, and snapped his outstretched fingers. There was a crack. Then, with her right fist, she punched Boss Liu in the face. Boss Liu could almost hear the sound of his bones cracking.

"Ah..." Boss Liu let out a scream, and hot liquid gushed out from his palms. He covered his nose and backed away repeatedly, his face full of fear and pain.

The people on the ground were trembling. Only at this moment did they truly realize that losing arms and legs was not an exaggeration. The other party had indeed shown mercy to them just now.

"My cousin worked at the grain store for six years. You know what kind of person he is, and I know him too," Ji Nuan said calmly and firmly, scanning the crowd before finally fixing her gaze on Boss Liu. "I believe he didn't take any money from the grain store. Why don't you carefully ask the employees and your good nephew, and everything will become clear. We're all businessmen, and I'm sure you wouldn't want to keep a parasite growing under your wing. Once its appetite grows, it'll slowly devour your family business."

She paused, her eyes sharp. "Also, you unjustly accused my cousin and drove him out of the grain store in public, severely damaging his reputation. You must compensate him with twenty taels of silver as compensation for the loss of his reputation."

Boss Liu's face paled as he listened to Ji Nuan's words. Originally, Jin Deshun was supposed to compensate him with twenty taels of silver, and now his grain store had been smashed, and he had to pay Jin Deshun twenty taels on top of that. The thought of it made him feel bad. But seeing the other party's ferocious appearance, he didn't dare to resist, so he obediently took out the silver from his pocket and handed it to Jin Deshun.

Jin Deshun looked at the twenty taels of silver in his hand, his head still dazed, and he had no idea what was going on. He looked up at Ji Nuan, only to see that she had already stood up and was about to leave.

"The matter is resolved. If you are not satisfied, you can come to Fusheng Tower in the city to find me. Oh, my last name is Ji, don't look for the wrong person." After saying that, Ji Nuan left with Sprite and others, leaving Boss Liu, Gou Gui and others in a daze.

"Fu... Fu, Fusheng Building?" Boss Liu muttered to himself, his face turning pale in an instant, "That's the property of the First Imperial Shang family."

He came back to his senses with a start and hurried to the door, wanting to say a few words to plead for himself. However, there was no sign of Ji Nuan and the others at the door.

Boss Liu beat his chest and stamped his feet, full of regret.

Oh my god, how did Jin Deshun get involved with Fushenglou? This is bad! The Jun family is involved in all walks of life in Dongchu. These few small shops in his hands are not enough for the Jun family to deal with in a day.

Recalling Ji Nuan's advice, Boss Liu once again carefully questioned who had stolen the silver. After what had just happened, the employees no longer dared to hide anything and confessed everything. Boss Liu was so angry with Gou Gui that he slapped him hard, then sent him home and reprimanded the employees.

For the next few days, Boss Liu was terrified, fearing the Jun family would retaliate again. He was in a state of panic, living in fear of bankruptcy every day.

A few days later, he learned that Fushenglou was now owned by the prefect's fiancée, whose surname was Ji. This made Boss Liu even more panicked. The county magistrate was no match for the current one. No matter how powerful the Jun family was, it couldn't be more terrifying than offending the prefect who was so powerful above them.

So he immediately had someone prepare gifts and personally brought them to Jin Deshun's house to apologize. He apologized profusely and spoke kindly until the Jin family accepted his gifts, and only then did he feel relieved.

These are all later stories. Let’s look at Ji Nuan and the others sitting in the carriage.
