Chapter 95: The Scammers Arrive
In the Li family compound of Qingshui City, a charming woman bowed gracefully to the person sitting in the chair and said respectfully, "Your Highness, the White Shark Gang wants to attack the Dragon Slaying Pavilion. Should we intervene?"
"Oh? Are those mad dogs so impatient?" Li Jiancheng sneered.
"They're just some mad dogs below the third rank. That old fox Wei Zheng won't die so easily."
Although Li Jiancheng didn't take Wei Zheng seriously, he actually valued him quite a bit. Wei Zheng's survival to this day wasn't just due to luck.
"However, the forces in Qingshui City really need to be cleaned up. They're a motley crew, and it's annoying to look at them."
Unable to discern Li Jiancheng's intentions, Yang Hui asked in a low voice, "Then what is Your Highness's opinion?"
Li Jiancheng pondered for a moment, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes: "Kill them all. First, help White Shark help those idiots take down Wei Zheng, and then take care of them at the end."
"In Qingshui City, the voice of the Li family is enough!"
He had long disliked those people. If it weren't for the authority of law enforcement, would those scum still be alive today?
There are many organizations like the White Sand Gang. These people may not be very strong, but they all have considerable influence in Qingshui City. Each of them has some businesses under their control. If they were all killed, the law enforcement would definitely come knocking.
This is a good opportunity to take advantage of the gang fight and eliminate them all, leaving no evidence. Even if law enforcement comes, they won't be able to do anything to the Li family.
Besides, even if the enforcers come, so what? He recently refined that "adorable third brother" and is in dire need of someone to test its power. Wouldn't it be better if the enforcers came?
"Yes, Your Highness, your plan is truly brilliant," Yang Hui said with a charming smile, every gesture of hers captivating.
"Hmph." Li Jiancheng snorted and pulled Yang Hui into his arms.
"This is just the beginning. There are many more plans to come. This time, we must show them who the real overlord of Qingshui City is!"
Since the arrival of law enforcer Sun Xiaoman, the Li family has remained silent until now. It seems that they have been dormant for too long, giving those people the illusion that they are easy to bully.
When the tiger is away, the monkeys reign supreme. Now that the tiger has returned to the mountains, those poor, performing monkeys can only obediently become sacrifices for the Li family.
......
Bailu Street was originally the territory guarded by Fatty Fish, one of the three leaders of the Black Dragon Society. After Black Dragon died, it became a no-man's land.
In the past, with the Black Dragon above, few dared to act recklessly. Now that the Black Dragon is dead, all sorts of monsters and demons have emerged, and robbers and thieves are being caught in droves.
In front of a scattered stall, a shifty-eyed man pointed at the stall owner's nose and cursed, "Boss, you're not a decent person."
“Look at the blue crystal I bought from you yesterday. It lost its color as soon as I washed it at home. Now it’s all white.”
As he spoke, the man took out a white crystal from his pocket. Judging from its shape, it was indeed similar to the one sold at the stall in front of him.
Upon hearing this, the boss's face turned green. Could your excuse be any more absurd?
It fades after washing, damn it! Why don't you just take a bite?
"Sir, I've been doing business here for so many years and I've never sold counterfeit goods. Could you please check if you've come to the wrong place?"
Even though he cursed the man a thousand times in his heart, he still had to be polite to him verbally.
In business, harmony is key to making money; if things escalate, it can severely damage one's reputation.
The shifty-eyed man raised an eyebrow, then said angrily, "What, are you saying I'm being a scoundrel?"
"You're the ones selling counterfeit goods, yet you dare to frame the buyer!"
The man deliberately raised his voice, attracting a crowd of onlookers, most of whom were just there for the spectacle, and no one was willing to speak up for him.
The stall owners nearby looked at the extorted stall owner with a hint of schadenfreude. They thought he was just unlucky to have encountered such a situation, and no one wanted to help him out, lest they get into trouble.
Bailu Street is quite large, and correspondingly, there are many merchants selling resources. Almost everyone there is a competitor, and harmonious scenes are rare. Even if they seem to be at peace on the surface, they are just being friends on the surface and putting on a show.
The shop owner looked bitter and quickly pulled the man aside, intending to settle the matter privately.
He's just unlucky to have encountered something like this. Even if it's not his fault, he can only accept it with a heavy heart.
Many of the people gathered around could tell that the man was trying to scam them, but no one was willing to stand up for justice.
They all adopted an attitude of indifference, watching with wide eyes, ready to see what would happen.
"Sir, the blue crystal you bought yesterday is indeed genuine. Perhaps you misremembered. How about this, I'll get you another blue crystal. Regardless of whether the first one is found or not, this one will be a gift from me. How about that?"
Those outside secretly praised the boss for his skill in dealing with people; he clearly intended to use the crystal to shut the man up, preventing him from making a scene and ruining his business.
The man became even more smug after seeing the stall owner back down, his chin practically pointing to the sky.
The stall owner intended to let the matter drop, but he certainly wasn't willing to let it go. The bigger the commotion, the more benefits he could gain. He couldn't give up the bigger picture for a small immediate gain.
Thinking of this, the shifty-eyed man's eyes darted around, and an idea came to him. He then started shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Everyone, come and see! This boss is clearly guilty. Otherwise, why would he offer compensation? Doesn't this mean he admits to selling counterfeit goods yesterday?"
After the man said that, these people suddenly felt that what he said actually made some sense, and they immediately looked at the stall owner with suspicion.
"you......"
The stall owner was so angry he almost vomited blood. Why should I compensate you? Don't you have any self-awareness?
He knew the man was implying that one sapphire wasn't enough for him; he wanted more. But the stall owner really didn't want to give any more. Giving away one sapphire was already his limit; if he gave any more, he would lose all the profits he had made from his business over the past few days.
"What exactly do you want?!"
The stall owner was furious. These kinds of things rarely happened when the Black Dragon Society was still around, but now that the Black Dragon Society has disbanded, everything here is in complete chaos.
In the past few days, I've encountered these merchants on the street extorting money at least seven times, theft is even more common, and robbery is incredibly rampant. They dare to openly commit violence on the street with their faces covered, and no one dares to go out at night.
He began to miss the days when the Black Dragon Society was still around. The Black Dragon Society was somewhat domineering, but at least it didn't affect their business, and they would send people to help them throw out all the troublemakers.

P.S.: We didn't make it to the fourth round, and a fifth consecutive round is out of the question. The author thought about it and felt that updating twice a day was a bit too lazy, so it wouldn't be right not to add more chapters. After much deliberation, the author decided to use recommendation votes to add chapters. The current number of recommendation votes is 570. When we reach 600, we will add one chapter; when we reach 700, we will add another chapter; and so on. For every 100 recommendation votes, we will add one chapter. Let's set it up like this for now, and everyone can see it anytime.
