Rebirth 78: After being jilted at the altar, I reached the pinnacle!

Jing Wenqiang immediately said, "Dad, his name is Li Hanliang, he's a country bumpkin who was born and raised in Xiaoliang Village..."

Next, he recounted his tragic experiences in Xiaoliangzhuang, embellishing the story of how Li Hanliang had suppressed him.

By the time Jing Wenqiang finished speaking, Jing Kaijiang was already furious.

"How dare this mere country bumpkin bully the Jing family!" Jing Kaijiang roared. "Does he really think that just because the Jing family lives in a small county town, we're incompetent?"

"These ignorant and snobbish people!"

Jing Kaiyuan also seized the opportunity to say, "Yeah, brother, that Li Hanliang just got involved with Lao Pei's former bodyguard and thinks he can act tough in Anfeng County. He doesn't even realize that back then, our Jing family could have easily killed those bumpkins like Lao Pei with just a flick of our finger!"

Jing Kaijiang sighed heavily, "Forget it, let's not talk about what happened back then. For now, it's best for our family to keep a low profile. We can always rise to prominence again when the new policies come into effect. However..."

He paused, but ultimately couldn't swallow his anger, and said fiercely, "Li Hanliang must not be allowed to live!"

"Kaiyuan, Wenqiang, you two should discuss a plan and get rid of him as soon as possible."

Jing Kaijiang gritted his teeth, "Remember, no matter what help you need, come to me immediately. Our Jing family will not tolerate such audacious people!"

"Yes, Dad!"

"Got it! Big Brother!"

Both Jing Wenqiang and Jing Kaiyuan seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, their voices filled with excitement.

The uncle and nephew stood on the same side once again. They looked at each other and both felt that Li Hanliang's death was imminent.

……

Li Hanliang studied diligently under Professor Zhong in the city, almost in seclusion, for three whole days.

Even on the morning of the fourth day, when he was chased out by the guards of Old Zhong's house with his package thrown at him, he still felt unsatisfied.

"Indeed, this is the power of knowledge! It's good to be educated!" Li Hanliang sheepishly picked up the books that the guard had thrown out of him, as well as the clothes that Zhong Lao had given him.

His father-in-law number two was indeed much more polite and considerate than his father-in-law number one.

During the three days they spent together, Mr. Zhong discovered that the man only had one suit, so he generously gave him his three brand-new suits.

Li Hanliang returned to Anfeng County with his books and suit. As he was walking toward Li's Steamed Bun Shop, he suddenly heard a commotion ahead.

He looked closely and realized it wasn't just any shop; it was right in front of his own steamed bun shop.

In a moment of panic, Li Hanliang turned and ran.

Suddenly, he paused, then went around the street corner to the backyard, hid the books and suit, and then came into the shop.

"You son of a bitch, you lowlife country bumpkin! How dare you come to Anfeng County to scam people? Do you think we, the Five Tigers of Anfeng, are easy to bully?"

"Guys, no need to waste words with this little wench, let's smash up this lousy shop!"

Li Hanliang saw several young thugs swaggering around in front of the shop.

Liu Lanfang was so frightened by them that she burst into tears, but even so, she still argued through her tears, "There's no way there could be flies in our shop, everything is strictly controlled!"

"You deliberately put the flies in these buns!"

"You little wench, you're talking nonsense!" The leader of the thugs rushed forward, about to hit Liu Lanfang as he spoke.

Upon seeing this, Li Hanliang immediately tried to stop him.

But just as he took a step, a domineering voice rang out, "What the hell are you yelling about!"

Zhou Meiping pushed aside the onlookers and kicked Chen Longhu in the lower back.

She was wearing high heels; if she kicked someone, it might not kill them, but it could take half their life.

Li Hanliang was stunned; this woman was too fierce.

Chen Longhu clearly didn't expect that someone would dare to hit him, especially a woman!

He was kicked to the ground before he could react.

The other thugs were also taken aback; they even forgot to fight back and help their leader up.

"Little girl..." Chen Longhu clutched his lower back and struggled on the ground for a while before finally getting up.

Li Hanliang also came over. "Meiping, what brings you here?"

Zhou Meiping glanced at him and said unhappily, "If I hadn't come, your little darling would have been bullied to death!"

"Li Hanliang, how can you be so heartless? Leaving that young girl alone in the store? Have you ever thought about what would happen if something irreparable happened? Would you still have any conscience left?"

Zhou Meiping was practically pointing her finger at Li Hanliang and cursing him.

After hearing her words, Li Hanliang also realized that he had done something quite wrong.

He was so focused on business that he completely forgot Liu Lanfang was a girl, and an extremely beautiful one at that.

However, his intuition told him that these five thugs were probably not after Liu Lanfang.

Li Hanliang stepped forward, protecting the two women, and looked at the group of people, saying, "Gentlemen, I am the owner here. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"What's the matter?" Chen Longhu grabbed a steamed bun from the table and held it up in front of Li Hanliang. "Open your dog eyes and look for yourself. What's in this bun?"

Li Hanliang looked closely and saw a dark, dead fly lying in the oily filling of the bun.

"Folks, look! This is a steamed bun from Li's Steamed Bun Shop," Chen Longhu said, showing the buns to the crowd gathered at the door. "Look, I even bit off the fly's head! If I hadn't been careful and had taken a big bite, I wouldn't have even seen the fly and would have just swallowed it whole!"

The people were terrified when they heard this, and there was a lot of discussion about it.

Chen Longhu became even more agitated and turned to question Li Hanliang, "I've spent money here, and you dare to make me eat flies? Tell me, do you think I'll let you get away with this?"

Liu Lanfang grabbed Li Hanliang and said nervously, "Boss, I really didn't. They put the fly in later. I checked all the fillings I made several times. There couldn't be a problem."

Li Hanliang, of course, believed her.

Seeing Liu Lanfang so frightened, he felt sorry for her and patted her hand to reassure her.

Then, Li Hanliang looked at Chen Longhu and asked, "So, what do you think should be done about this?"

"What are we going to do?" Chen Longhu shouted, "You have to compensate me for my emotional distress! Ten thousand yuan, not a penny less!"

"What? Ten thousand yuan?"

Zhou Meiping and Liu Lanfang exclaimed almost simultaneously.

"Why the hell don't you just rob it?!" Zhou Meiping shouted angrily, hands on her hips.

“Fine, we’ll go to the Health Bureau right now and have the director sentence you!” Chen Longhu said, and started to pull Li Hanliang away.
