Peerless Young Master

"What's going on? Why is there no one here?"

When Li Xuan arrived at the restaurant and looked at the empty first floor, he thought he had come to the wrong place.

Lin Ruolin's face was as cold as frost, and a hint of anger flashed in her phoenix eyes: "I heard from Uncle Wang that a group of thugs came to smash the store and drove away all the customers. They threatened to break the legs of anyone who came to eat at the Lin's Restaurant.

Who would dare to come?"

"There is such a thing. Have you reported it to the police? Let the government arrest them all." Li Xuan didn't expect that someone would come to cause trouble, but he knew at a glance that there was someone supporting him behind the scenes.

Although the Lin family has fallen on hard times, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and ordinary ruffians don't dare to cause trouble for the Lin's restaurant.

If they really offended the Lin family, they could send these people to jail with just a few tricks, and they would never be able to get out.

Lin Ruolin shook her head: "I've already reported it. These people are very cunning. When the yamen runners come, they leave. When the yamen runners leave, they appear again. It's useless at all."

Although she was unhappy, she suppressed her anger and asked Uncle Wang to give some money to these ruffians as a way to ward off disaster.

The most important thing is to get customers to come in and eat and develop the restaurant business.

As a result, these people took the money but did nothing, and continued to block the road leading to the restaurant and drive away passers-by.

"Have you found out who is behind this?" Li Xuan's eyes narrowed as he thought about a solution.

"Who else could it be? Who else could do such a despicable thing except them?"

Obviously, Lin Ruolin thought that these people were sent by the restaurant opposite. They were jealous of the good business of Lin's Restaurant and deliberately used such inferior means to disgust people.

Qingchun Restaurant?

Li Xuan speculated that if it was the Qingchun Restaurant, it would be understandable. After all, the two families were now enemies, so it was normal for them to use some dirty tricks.

But he always felt something was strange. Although this behavior seemed to effectively suppress the restaurant business, it was essentially too mild and not intense.

If it were them, their methods should be more drastic, pointing the finger directly at hot pot and completely cutting off the possibility of the Lin's Restaurant rising.

"It's only a few days until we reach an agreement with Tai Shugong, and the restaurant business must be restored. Waiting like this is not a solution.

Since the government is ineffective, we will use our own methods to treat them and let them taste the bitter fruit."

"Don't be impulsive, these people are not good people," Lin Ruolin reminded. She didn't want Li Xuan to provoke these people and was afraid that they would get hurt.

"Don't worry, I'll bring a few more people."

…………

The streets are crowded with people walking in a hurry.

And a few dozen meters away from Lin’s Restaurant, four people were squatting under the shade of a tree.

Whenever someone passes by here, they will be stopped by these people and driven away.

If you don't listen, you will be beaten.

"Boss, you said we are not doing our old job, but we have to chase people away and not let them go to Lin's Restaurant. This is so troublesome."

"Yes, I heard that the hot pot at Lin's Restaurant is really delicious. I want to try it."

Under the shade of the tree, a few dejected younger brothers asked curiously.

"I know nothing," Zhu Da said unhappily as he sat down on a stone pier while chewing wild grass.

"Do you think I'm willing to stay here in the scorching sun? It's Young Master Lin who insisted on doing this. You all watch carefully and don't let anyone pass.

When things are settled, I’ll take you guys to eat hotpot.” As he said this, Zhu Dabian planned to lie on the ground and take a nap.

"Don't worry, boss. With us here, we guarantee that not even a fly can fly over." When the younger brother heard that there was hot pot to eat, he patted his chest and made the promise.

With his younger brother's assurance, Zhu Da lay down flat, put his hands behind his head as a pillow, closed his eyes, chewed some wild grass, hummed a little tune, put his left leg on his right leg, and shook his thigh, feeling very comfortable.

In less than half a cup of tea, a young man from a wealthy family passed by. He was a handsome young man with a green jade pendant hanging around his waist and a jade fan in his hand, which he gently waved.

The young man was Li Xuan, followed by seven or eight followers.

He glanced at Zhu Da and his group under the shade of the tree, and inadvertently, a purse fell from his waist to the ground without him noticing.

After he walked for a distance, two younger brothers under the shade of a tree saw the bag on the ground. One of them looked at the other, and the two of them walked over quietly.

A man picked up a purse from the ground, weighed it, and found it was quite heavy. He opened it and saw that it was full of silver.

The two were so shocked that their jaws dropped. They hurriedly looked forward and saw Li Xuan and his group walking away. Then they grabbed the treasure in their arms and said, "We're rich, we're rich this time."

The two were overjoyed, and one of them woke Zhu Da up.

Looking at the bag of silver, the dissatisfaction on Zhu Da's face disappeared, and was replaced by a beaming joy.

This amount of silver was enough to keep him happy for a long time.

He smiled and said, "You two have done a great service. Don't you want to eat hot pot? After sunset, I will take you to eat your fill. After you are full, I will take you out to have fun."

"Thank you, boss"

At this moment, a shadow loomed over Zhu Da. Before he could react, a leisurely voice came:

"You stinky beggar, you dare to steal my money? You must be tired of living. Beat you to death."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people behind him tacitly took out arm-long wooden sticks from their waists and beat Zhu Da and his group violently.

The few people who were still confused, before they could figure out what was happening, grimaced in pain, covered their heads and ran away, wanting to leave.

It was a pity that these people had already surrounded them, and sticks fell on them like rain, and cries and pleas for mercy were intertwined.

"Stop hitting me. I don't know how I have offended you. Please spare my life, sir."

"The bag in your hand belongs to me."

After hearing this, how could Zhu Da not know the reason?

It seems that the other party found that his wallet was lost, came to look for it, and thought that they had stolen it, so he beat them up.

Then he quickly explained: "Sir, we picked up this purse from the ground, we didn't steal it, and we are just about to return it to you."

Zhu Da wailed while dodging the sticks, while hurriedly explaining himself and struggling to raise the purse in his hand high above his head, as if afraid that the other party couldn't see it.

Looking at the people with bruised faces and curled up on the ground wailing in pain, Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "Stop."

Then he looked at Zhu Da and whispered in his ear, "Who asked you to cause trouble for Lin's Restaurant?"

Hearing this, Zhu Da’s eyes widened immediately: “You are a member of the Lin family.”

"Let me tell you, I have someone protecting me. Do you dare..."

He was about to say something harsh, but before Zhu could finish his words, he was hit on the chest with a stick, and the pain made him feel dizzy.

"You are a bunch of thieves. You dare to steal my money in broad daylight. I deserve it even if I beat you to death."

As he spoke, Li Xuan continued to swing the wooden stick, hitting Zhu Da hard. After a few hits, he became obedient.

"It was Master Lin, he asked me to do this"

"Which Master Lin?"

Lin Haitao

It was him.

Li Xuan didn't expect that the person behind the scenes was his great uncle. This news surprised him a little.

After getting the person behind the scenes, he snorted coldly at the wailing people and said: "This money is for your medical expenses. If you dare to cause trouble next time, I will destroy you."

Soon, Li Xuan told Lin Ruolin the news.

She was also very surprised: "I didn't expect it to be my great uncle. My great uncle clearly promised to give us ten days and not disturb us during these ten days. I didn't expect him to go back on his word."

"I didn't expect that my great uncle would still do this at such an old age. He really lived in vain." Li Xuan was quite angry. Why were the people who stabbed him in the back all his own people?

"But now we know who is behind this, and I have taught those thugs a lesson. I think they won't dare to continue doing evil. We can just open the shop and do business as usual."

Lin Ruolin's eyes flashed: "Something like this will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the customers towards the restaurant. If we want them to continue to come to the restaurant to eat, we must give in."

"You can make the decision on these matters. I still have things to do." Li Xuan had a meaningful smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.
