Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chen Xiaolang’s expression changed drastically when Yue Jiaojiao finished her last sentence.
Seeing him like this, Fang Tianliu came to a sudden realization and scolded, “You! As expected, he wanted to extort money from me! Do you even know who I am? If I go back and report this to my father, I guarantee that you will leave the mountain in shambles!”
“Where did you find this jade pendant?” Zhao Zhan was more concerned about the jade pendant, which might be related to his lover. He looked at the other party with an oppressive aura. “If you can explain it clearly, we can spare you from being punished by the chief! You should know how heavy of a blow they give to people that deserve to be punished. Your bones might hurt so much that you’d rather be dead than have them hit you again. If you get hit a few more times, you might not even be able to stand up again.”
“P-please! Stop this!”
Chen Xiaolang cursed his bad luck.
Originally, his plan was to collude with the middleman to extort a pretty boy off his money. He did not expect that this pretty boy would actually know such a tough local relative.
“What does it have to do with you where I picked it up? Return the jade pendant to me, you’re lucky that I won’t ask you to pay!”
Chen Xiaolang reached out to grab it, but when he saw Zhao Zhan’s iron tower-like figure, he retracted his hand. “What do you want?”
“This is ours.” Zhao Zhan put the jade pendant and the silver hairpin together, pointed to the same mark, and looked up at him. “This belongs to my wife. It was stolen some time ago and we couldn’t find it no matter how hard we tried. Could it be that you were the one who stole the jade pendant?”
Zhao Zhan was just trying to trick him. How could a street thug like him know what the symbol of the Beauty Pavilion looked like?
“Don’t you wrongly accuse a good person like me I-”
Right as he said that Zhao Zhan raised his fist, causing the man to cower in fear.
“I picked it up at the foot of the mountain! I picked it up from the foot of the mountain, which is located West of the East Gate!”
As he spoke, he abandoned the jade pendant and turned to run. “I’ll return it to you. Just, please! Don’t hurt me…”
Fang Tianliu reached out to grab it out of curiosity, but Zhao Zhan avoided his hand. “This belongs to my wife, don’t mess it up for her.”
Fang Tianliu’s face was full of shock. “Stop being stingy!”
Seeing that Chen Xiaolang had run away, the people who had gathered around to watch the show also left in twos and threes.
Just as Zhao Zhan was about to speak, a person walked towards them with difficulty.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Are you the bunch that wants to rent my shop?” Qian Congren’s stomach was so big that he couldn’t see his feet when he looked down. He walked in front of them and wiped his sweat with his sleeve. “I just heard from the neighbors that someone fought with Chen Xiaolang when they came to visit my shop. Ah… Look at me, I tried to come here as quick as I could.” Qian Congren’s eyes were only a slit, and the flesh on his face trembled as he spoke. “I assume the matter has been resolved? Do you guys still want to look at my shop? I’ve also brought the key.”
Fang Tianliu was just about to refuse when Zhao Zhan spoke first. “Well, then I’ll have to trouble you to open the shop’s door so we can take a look.”
Zhao Zhan had just taken a look at the location of the shop.
This shop was about five inches deeper than the other shops along the street. However, this place that others looked down on was a good thing for him.
Not to mention, he could save a small fee by signing the contract with the landlord personally.
Qian Congren took off the key from his waist with great effort and walked over to open the shop door.
The interior of the shop was squarish, about ten inches in length and width.
“My shop is a little cheaper than the ones on this street. But if you want to do business, you can bring your own furniture.”
