After all, he could tolerate other things, but now that others have bullied him, if he still cowered like a coward, he would probably want to slap himself.

"trouble?"

Hearing Lin Fan's words, which clearly did not mean the same thing as theirs, the group looked at each other, not quite understanding what Lin Fan meant.

If it were some behind-the-scenes troubles involving personal safety, that would be understandable, but even so they weren't afraid, after all, they had Huba and the others protecting them.

But what other trouble could they possibly have? They're all honest and law-abiding businessmen.

The things I bought were just the cheapest clothes; they're not like food or drinks where someone can find fault with their quality.

In short, they don't seem like the kind of people who would cause trouble!

After this little incident, everyone took advantage of their lunch break to have a meal at a nearby restaurant.

While everyone was chatting during the meal, Lin Fan kept thinking about Manager Zhao's visit.

His intuition told him that he had gotten himself into a lot of trouble this time.

And once again, facts have proven that Lin Fan's intuition is extremely accurate.

Back at the exchange meeting, in front of their booth, there were two more people this time, in addition to Manager Zhao from before.

These two people were dressed as staff members of the exchange meeting.

His facial expression seemed meticulous, but his eyes looked somewhat sly.

"You must be the owner here!"

Upon seeing Lin Fan and his group return, one of the staff members stepped forward and blocked their path.

"I'm the boss. What can I do for you, sir?"

The staff member looked at Lin Fan and said calmly, "It's nothing serious. As per procedure, we need to check your documents to make sure you weren't outsiders who snuck in."

"After all, your spot at this exchange meeting is very valuable, and we cannot afford any mistakes."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhi and the others sensed that something was amiss and quickly gathered around Lin Fan, watching the three people in front of them warily.

As for Manager Zhao, who was standing to the side, his face showed a mixture of schadenfreude and resentment as he looked at Lin Fan and the others.

Let's see how they die this time!

He's just a peasant from a few villages, yet he dares to look down on him.

They really don't know their place. Let's see how they dare to act so arrogantly in front of us now.

"Hmph, you guys are in cahoots with this guy, aren't you?"

"Check my ass! We already checked the documents before we came in. Why do we need to check them again? Get out of here and don't delay our business!"

Huang San and Huba glared angrily at the group of people in front of them and spoke harshly.

Hearing Huba's words, the two staff members remained unmoved and continued, "This is an order from above. We must comply with the requirement that every merchant undergo a second verification. You are one of them, and we cannot avoid it."

"What, why won't you allow the verification? Are you hiding something?"

Clearly, these two are seasoned veterans; not only were they not intimidated by Huba and his group, but they also turned the tables on them.

Lin Fan had already clearly seen the situation before him. If Manager Zhao hadn't been with these two, Lin Fan might have had other ideas.

But now Manager Zhao and these two guys are clearly in cahoots, so Lin Fan knows that things won't go so smoothly today.

However, there was one thing Lin Fan really couldn't understand: why was Manager Zhao, or rather, the company behind him, so determined to target Lin Fan?

Or is this the deeper meaning behind Manager Song's reminder?

Of course, anything is possible at this point. Before there is clear proof, Lin Fan will not make any wild guesses. He simply keeps the possible scenarios to himself for comparison.

After a brief moment of thought, Lin Fan came to his senses. Seeing the two staff members in front of him with tough attitudes, he waved his hand and said, "Since you want to investigate, then investigate. We can cooperate with whatever you want to investigate!"

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, the two staff members sneered and said, "No need for help."

"Now take out all your documents, we need to check them one by one."

These people were clearly there to cause trouble, so Lin Fan didn't make a fuss and simply took out all his documents and placed them in front of them.

As it turns out, the saying "If you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext" is very apt.

It's incredibly easy for someone in power to frame you and cause you trouble, even if you haven't done anything wrong.

For example, the two staff members and Lin Fan and his group at this moment.

So Lin Fan had been cooperating actively and his attitude was very good, but these two guys still disgusted Lin Fan and his group quite a bit.

The two of them took the documents and began to slowly and deliberately look through them.

There were only a few documents, but they insisted on looking at them word by word. After they finished, they kept checking every stamp and every mark, comparing them with a small notebook in their hands.

Those who don't know the situation might think they're doing the emperor's job to verify the authenticity of an imperial edict.

Half an hour had passed since the first document was verified. During that time, two merchants came to Lin Fan and his group to inquire about the situation, but they were both turned away because of the obstruction of two staff members.

Seeing the two men's unhurried and annoyed expressions, Huba couldn't hold back any longer. He slammed his hand on the table and yelled at them, "You two bastards, are you here to do embroidery or to check IDs? Is this how you check documents?"

"Damn it, I think this guy deliberately brought you here to annoy us, right?"

"It's just checking identification, how much time did you waste there?"

"If everyone continues to be this bad, how are we supposed to do business? Get the hell out of here!"

Hearing Huba's roar, the two staff members snorted coldly, then pointed at Huba and said, "Kid, watch your mouth!"

“I’m not some street thug you can insult. I’m working for the government and the country. If you dare say such nonsense again, believe me, I’ll have security arrest you and call the police!”

Huba isn't someone who's afraid of trouble, otherwise how could he have risen to the position of leader?

Hearing this, he was so angry that he laughed. Just as he was about to retort, Lin Fan suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

"Brother Huba, don't be impulsive."
