Chapter 991: Turning The Tables (1)
“We have no choice! We’re the disadvantaged group and don’t have any backing!” Leng Ruoxue said helplessly.
When the customers in the shop heard Leng Ruoxue’s words and saw that she was a weak woman, they could not help but pity her. Even the shopkeeper felt that President Lu and Di Ren had gone overboard, though his shop also belonged to the Artificer Association!
“Goddammit, what the hell are you talking about?” Di Ren snapped, reacting to the situation.
“I’m not spouting nonsense! You’re so fierce!” Leng Ruoxue’s beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she said fearfully, making everyone’s hearts ache.
“Your Excellency Di Ren, you’re the chief Artificer of the Flame City’s Artificer Association. How can you be so fierce to a girl!” Someone said indignantly.
“Exactly! This is really too much!”
“How could Your Excellency Di Ren do something like forcibly occupying someone else’s house and even bite them back to ask for compensation! I really couldn’t tell that Your Excellency Di Ren was such a person.”
The people in the inn began to discuss as soon as someone took the lead. The strange looks they gave Di Ren made him burn with anger.
“Damn it, come with me!” Di Ren was so angry that he wanted to pull Leng Ruoxue away…
In an instant, a cold light flashed and Di Ren’s skinny arm was exposed in front of everyone. A bright and extremely sharp dagger appeared in Leng Ruoxue’s hand!
“You old fart, don’t touch me. Otherwise, it won’t be as simple as your sleeve being sliced off next time.” Leng Ruoxue warned with a fearful expression. However, the hand holding the dagger trembled slightly, revealing her nervousness and fear.
“How shameless of you, old man! Taking advantage of a young lady!” someone shouted while Di Ren flushed.
“She’s my maid, she’s mine! How am I taking advantage of her!” Di Ren shouted at the top of his voice.
“I’m just as collateral to pay off the debt. I can leave after my family and subordinates return the money,” Leng Ruoxue muttered softly.
“Hmph! They won’t be able to fork out that kind of money. You can forget about leaving for the rest of your life,” Di Ren said honestly.
“Oh!” Leng Ruoxue replied faintly and did not continue.
“You…” Di Ren pointed at Leng Ruoxue, unable to say anything for a long time.
“What about me? Shopkeeper, quickly bring this dying old man back to the room! Otherwise, you’ll be responsible if he dies of anger here.” Leng Ruoxue quickly reminded the shopkeeper seeing Di Ren pant heavily.
“Ah! That won’t do. I won’t be able to bear the responsibility if he really died of anger. I’d better go to the Artificer Association to get someone here!” The shopkeeper was also afraid when he heard Leng Ruoxue’s words. After saying that, he ran out of the shop…
“Sigh! Age is really unforgiving!” Leng Ruoxue sighed as she looked at Di Ren, who was still panting heavily.
“I know, right?” the younger man chimed in.
Just as everyone was sighing and lamenting, the shopkeeper returned with a few people.
“There’s still time, isn’t there?” the shopkeeper asked worriedly. He was asking subtly if the man was dead. As soon as he said this, Di Ren became even angrier. However, he could not complete a sentence. He just kept pointing at the shopkeeper with his finger and glaring!
“Don’t worry, he’s still breathing.” Leng Ruoxue chuckled.
“Oh! That’s good!” In the shopkeeper’s eyes, as long as the person was not dead, he could not care less!
“Manager Chen, do you think we should get His Excellency Di Rento go away? If anything happens to him in this shop, I won’t be able to bear the responsibility,” the shopkeeper said to the man beside him.
The man called Manager Chen carefully sized up Di Ren and realized that he was indeed not in a good state. Di Ren was President Yao’s favorite. If anything happened to him, he could not bear the responsibility. Therefore, he could not help but hesitate.
“Manager Chen, right? I suggest you bring this old man to the Artificer Association. Otherwise, if anything happens to him, none of you will be able to escape,” Leng Ruoxue reminded.
Manager Chen thought for a moment and felt that what this beautiful girl said made sense. He immediately decided to bring Di Ren back to the Association and let the president decide.
“Yes.” Manager Chen nodded, then glanced at Leng Ruoxue and asked, “I wonder who you are to him?”
Di Ren and him were acquaintances, but he’d never met this girl before.
“Me? You’ll know when the time comes.” Leng Ruoxue smiled faintly and said mysteriously.
“Oh! Carry His Excellency Di Ren back to the Artificer Association and hand him over to the President!” Manager Chen did not expect this girl to keep him in suspense and could not help but laugh. Then, he instructed his subordinates.
“Yes, sir,” the men replied. Then four of the guards lifted Di Ren by his limbs as if he were a wild boar.
Leng Ruoxue looked at the four people’s perfunctory actions and couldn’t help but laugh in her heart. Haha! It seemed that Di Ren wasn’t very popular either! He hadn’t even done anything yet, but he was already enjoying the treatment of a wild boar.
“Manager Chen, they are Di Ren’s servants and guards. You have to bring them along.” Leng Ruoxue pointed at the burly man and the others.
“Oh! Why did this restaurant move their entire family here?” Manager Chen muttered in confusion.
“Manager Chen, His Excellency Di Ren’s house was burned down.” The shopkeeper explained. Oh! It seemed that this matter had not completely spread! Otherwise, how could Manager Chen not know?
“There’s such a thing? Who’s so bold?” Manager Chen’s curiosity was piqued.
“Far away and close at hand,” the shopkeeper said mysteriously.
“It’s not you, is it?” Manager Chen actually joked.
“I don’t have the guts!” The shopkeeper quickly denied.
“Stop guessing. I gave the order to burn it,” Leng Ruoxue said with a smile.
“Little girl, you have guts!” Manager Chen was full of admiration. Sigh! Youth knows no fear! She even dared to burn down His Excellency Di Ren’s residence. Her courage was really extraordinary!
