Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

Chapter 26 Adjusting the Price Back to the Original Price

Since the first snow.

For three consecutive days, snow fell over Juecheng.

For Juecheng, which experiences winter for most of the year, a month-long snowfall is not unusual.

However, the sun was exceptionally bright today, with few dark clouds and a rare clear blue sky.

Pullman went outside and saw the beautiful weather, and couldn't help but feel that something good was going to happen today.

Of course, even if nothing good happens, the good weather today is a good thing for him.

After all, it's much better to appease the protesters on a sunny day than to freeze them in the snow.

There have been so many troubles in Juecheng lately that it's giving me a headache.

Since Davis took over as the new head of the family, the other three families in Juecheng have been making moves, seemingly waiting for an opportunity to devour the Davis family and strengthen their own power.

Pullman was not familiar with this head of the Juecheng family, having only met him a few times. However, each time they met, the other party exerted a strong pressure on him, making Pullman, the police chief of the Juecheng Federal Police Department, afraid to raise his head in front of him.

Although he was ordered to investigate the explosion and fire at the gun factory in the western suburbs, which seemed terrifying, he had been in Juecheng for over twenty years and knew how to play it safe. So, for him, that matter wasn't the recent case that had caused him to lose hair, but rather the group of demonstrators.

Yesterday, Sera, the head of the Milne family, sent someone to inform him that the protests should be resolved as soon as possible. However, the protesters refused to listen to any advice and refused to end the protests until the gas price was reduced.

Because of the recent protests and strikes, Juecheng has been in complete chaos. If it weren't for the fact that the wages of Juecheng's environmental workers are paid by the Davis family, Juecheng would probably be reeking of foul odors by now.

But the situation isn't good right now either. Sera is urging him to resolve the protests quickly, and she doesn't seem to have any intention of lowering the price. Pullman sighs, looks at the bright sun, and shrugs indifferently.

Whatever, I'll just play the game as an official for the day.

This is the secret to his ability to remain the sheriff of Juecheng for so many years.

On his way to the police station, he bought a sandwich and ate it as he walked.

Just as we reached the police station entrance, a young officer ran out excitedly, saying, "Chief Pullman, the Davis family has agreed to revert the gas price back to its original level! They've even said they'd encourage residents to use the gas supplied by the Davis family, and they'll offer it for free for a month!"

"what?!"

Pullman, no longer having time to finish his sandwich, looked at the young officer and asked, "Are you serious?!"

"It's true, the head of the Davis family came to us in person to say it, and then he left!"

"This Davis family head is something else! Giving residents a month's worth of free gas is a way to steal business from the other three families. The key is that this move will also improve his image among the residents of Juecheng! Let's go tell the protesting crowd this news. This is a mess that Davis himself inherited. If prices go up or anything in the future, let the crowd protest on his turf!"

Pullman didn't know why Noah was doing this, but he was happy for Noah to take on this hot potato. Even if something happened later, it would be their families' business to argue, not their police station's!

The news that the Davis family would adjust the gas price back to the original price and offer free gas to those who used Davis family gas for one month quickly spread throughout Juecheng.

While caring for her younger brother at the hospital, Sera heard the news from her subordinate and angrily crushed a half-peeled apple. "What is Noah Davis thinking? Is he trying to make enemies of the other three families? How dare he steal our clients like this!"

"Let them rob us then. We haven't found any new oil deposits, have we? That's why they're raising gas prices," Lennon said nonchalantly, munching on an apple.

Sera glared at him fiercely. "No wonder Noah said you were stupid. Whether we find new oil and gas or not, that's no reason for Noah to compete with us for business! Raise the price, and when we find new oil and gas later, are we afraid we won't make money?!"

"But he lowered the price and is offering it for free for a month. Sister, what should we do?"

"Eat your apple, I'm going to discuss this with the other two families!"

Sera tossed the crushed apple aside, took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and turned to leave.

Ryan and Daphne also received the same message.

Daphne sat in Ryan's office, sometimes angry and sometimes laughing. She was both amused and exasperated by Noah's actions, yet there was nothing she could do about it.

At that moment, the office door was pushed open, and Lane's eldest son, Chad Davis, strode in.

"Dad, did you hear the news? Has Noah lost his mind? He actually ordered the gas price to be adjusted back to the original price and offered users a month of free use. Does he know how much money we'll lose in a month?!"

Natural gas, oil, firearms, and drugs are the four most profitable products in Juecheng.

Apart from the last one, which they don't touch, the other three are the main sources of income for the Davis family.

Noah's orders directly caused them to lose a large sum of money.

Chad is primarily responsible for the natural gas sector.

Noah gave the order without consulting him, treating him like a mere figurehead, which made him even angrier.

"Why are you so angry? Why don't you go to Noah and come to me to complain?"

Unlike Daphne and Chad, who were both furious, Ryan was much more composed.

He had a leisurely attitude of 'it's none of my business' at this moment.

Daphne sneered, "Isn't our reason for coming to you simple? Brother, Noah has been turning against us ever since his birthday. First, he wouldn't allow us to return to the main house without permission, and now he's suddenly changed the gas price back to the original price, and even offered users a month of free gas. He didn't even tell us about such a big thing. Who knows what he'll do in the future to completely sideline us!"

Daphne also holds shares in the Davis family's gas company. The more the company earns, the more she receives. Noah suddenly adjusted the price back to the original price, causing her to lose a significant amount of money!

The thought that she might not be able to get the gemstone necklace she had promised her lover made her face turn even uglier.

“It’s your fault that Daphne can’t return to the main house without permission. If you hadn’t taken Lennon to the main house, we wouldn’t have needed Noah’s approval to go home,” Ryan said.

Daphne became even angrier upon hearing this. "We've spent more time in the main house than that brat, and he kicked us out with a single order. You don't complain about his stinginess, but instead you're here criticizing me. Brother, what about your ambitions? Do you really want that brat to ride on our necks forever?"

"What's the rush? There are plenty of people in a hurry right now. Let's see what those guys' attitude is first. Do you think they'll just sit there obediently after Noah stabbed them in the back?"

Daphne paused for a moment, carefully analyzing who Ryan meant by "them," and suddenly realized who they were. Her eyes lit up.

“When you can reap the benefits, just sit back and relax. What’s the rush? Wouldn’t it be better to watch Noah kill himself?” Ryan asked.
