CHAPTER 284: CHAPTER 284: STIRRING UP A HORNET’S NEST_1

Jiang Zhewen soon walked in. Wenmi, upon seeing her ex-husband, instantly lost her composure and cursed furiously, "Jiang Zhewen, you son of a bitch, what do you think you’re doing?"

Dressed in a suit, Jiang Zhewen felt a surge of hatred upon seeing Chu Hao and Yu Sicheng. He said, "The office has already issued a prohibition order, yet you still defy it. We have no choice but to shut down this store."

Yu Sicheng’s expression turned icy as he said, "If you have an issue, come at me."

Jiang Zhewen sneered, "Country bumpkin, talking to you is useless. Your store does not comply with regulations. We’re shutting it down now, right this instant."

A middle-aged man walked in, clad in a work uniform, pulled out a closure notice, and said coldly, "This store is closing immediately for inspection. Serious violations will be taken to court."

Chu Hao arrived, his voice cold as he said, "Are you looking to die?"

Filled with resentment, Jiang Zhewen replied, "Kid, you’re spreading feudal superstition and violating cost regulations. Just wait for your jail time."

This lowlife is bullying me, and I’m supposed to tolerate him?

Chu Hao said indifferently, "There are plenty who trouble me. Is a scrawny dude like you worth Master Chu’s effort?"

Jiang Zhewen retorted angrily, "Fine then! I’d like to see what you’re going to do."

Chu Hao was about to say something when someone else spoke up, "Master Chu, what’s going on?"

Qin Boren had come downstairs.

Cao Shanhe also came downstairs, feeling quite displeased with Qin Boren. He was curious about how Qin Boren knew Chu Hao, but he still asked what had happened and if his help was needed.

People in Anli City had heard of Grandpa Qin and Uncle Cao, though very few had actually met them. Even the employees handing out flyers had never seen these two.

Shortly afterward, another person appeared—Zhang Qun from Shanshui Group.

Zhang Qun naturally knew Qin Boren and Cao Shanhe. He was startled when he went upstairs, inwardly amazed at Chu Hao’s influence, enough to earn respect from the big shots of Anli City.

The employees, upon seeing Zhang Qun, were also stunned. The middle-aged man who had handed out the closure notice, being their leader, asked somewhat bewilderedly, "Boss Zhang, what are you doing here?"

After all, Shanshui Group was fairly well-known, at the very least as a real estate company with a net worth of over one hundred million.

Zhang Qun frowned and asked, "You are?"

The man quickly replied, "I’m Liu Qing. I was right there when Director Zhang and the bureau chief were drinking."

Zhang Qun nodded. He did not remember Liu Qing, but when he saw the flyer ordering the store’s closure, he frowned and asked, "What’s all this about?"

Liu Qing, being a smart man, understood that with Zhang Qun’s appearance, the store’s owner was likely his friend. He hurriedly explained, "This lawyer, Jiang Zhewen, has collected quite a bit of evidence to sue Sanqing Pavilion for feudal superstition. The closure notice has already been issued from above."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qun thought, What the hell? This is outrageous!

Zhang Qun said angrily, "Who sent you?"

"AH!!" Liu Qing was startled by Zhang Qun’s anger, panicking inwardly.

Zhang Qun said coldly, "Forget it, I’ll call your superiors directly. Trying to close Brother Chu’s store? That’s asking for trouble."

After that, Zhang Qun also said to Chu Hao, "Brother Chu, rest assured. With me here today, anyone who dares to close Sanqing Pavilion, I’ll fight them."

Chu Hao said with a smile, "Since that’s the case, I gratefully accept."

Zhang Qun was actually quite pleased. Now that he could help Chu Hao, Chu Hao could also help him in the future. With Chu Hao’s almost miraculous abilities, dealing with a scrawny dude like Jiang Zhewen, even if he provoked him, would be beneath Master Chu.

Zhang Qun said with a grin, "Why talk about such things between brothers?"

Liu Qing was dumbfounded. They had surely kicked an iron plate this time! With Zhang Qun here, trying to shut down Sanqing Pavilion? They had to be dreaming!

Beside him, Qin Boren and Cao Shanhe, seeing that Zhang Qun and Chu Hao had a good relationship, couldn’t help feeling a bit annoyed. After all, they were the real big shots in Anli City, and a real estate businessman was stealing their thunder! Moreover, this was an opportunity to woo Chu Hao. Either of the two felt that Chu Hao’s abilities could be of help to them in the future. More seriously, whoever Chu Hao helped in the future would gain a considerable advantage, possibly even leading to the downfall of the other party!

Qin Boren stepped forward and said, "I know the provincial department head, and I’ll call him right now."

Cao Shanhe watched Qin Boren warily and said, "I’m quite close with the mayor. We’re all friends here, so I’ll call him right now."

As soon as these two spoke up, Liu Qing and Jiang Zhewen’s jaws dropped in shock.

A provincial department head and a mayor!

Qin Boren frowned. So Cao Shanhe wants to build connections too? he thought. An aura of authority suddenly emanated from him as he calmly asked, "Who is Jiang Zhewen?"

Jiang Zhewen was completely flabbergasted, his heart pounding with fear at the words of these two big shots. Who are these people?

he wondered.

Jiang Zhewen said, "I... I am."

"I am Qin Boren. I’m giving you one hour to get the hell out of Anli City," Qin Boren said coldly.

Cao Shanhe also said, "I am Cao Shanhe. If you don’t know me, that’s fine. I’ll find all the information related to you. Think carefully before you make your decision."

Qin Boren! Cao Shanhe!

Jiang Zhewen was already shaking all over. Who in Anli City doesn’t know these two heavyweights? Their worth isn’t something that can be measured in money. This wasn’t just kicking an iron plate; it was like stirring up a hornet’s nest!

Liu Qing was also shocked. What is Zhang Qun in comparison? At best, he’s just a real estate businessman. These two are the true powerhouses of Anli City, individuals who could cover the sky with one hand! He felt like Jiang Zhewen had utterly screwed him over, making him fall into a massive pit!

Liu Qing’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he was so scared that his body was stiff. He angrily said, "Jiang Zhewen, what are you trying to do? I have inspected Sanqing Pavilion myself, and there is absolutely no problem! So, we won’t disturb you gentlemen anymore, we’re leaving."

Liu Qing and his men left as if they were fleeing.

And Jiang Zhewen? Scared out of his wits, his forehead glistening with cold sweat, he actually knelt on the ground, begging in terror, "I’m sorry, Master Chu, I was wrong, please... please give me another chance, and I will disappear immediately."

Are you kidding me? Targeted by two bigwigs at the same time, and he still thought he could leave Anli City alive? That’s utterly impossible! Perhaps the moment I walk out of Sanqing Pavilion’s doors, I’ll disappear from this world.

Chu Hao’s expression was indifferent. He didn’t say a word, and the air around suddenly turned icy cold.

The atmosphere was eerie, and by Chu Hao’s expression, people thought he was really angry.

In truth, Chu Hao couldn’t care less about such minor characters. At that moment, his gaze was fixed on a young man not far away.

The young man appeared to be about twenty years old, with striking silver hair that seemed strange yet somehow suited his handsome face perfectly. He was incredibly good-looking. With such looks, one might really suspect he was an illegitimate son of Heaven itself. Yet, Chu Hao noticed an eerie aura about the silver-haired young man. Yi learning allowed one to read a person’s facial features, but Chu Hao found he couldn’t discern anything from this young man’s face at all. He’s definitely not an ordinary person.
