Lin Xue took a random bottle and opened it. After she fanned it a few times with her hand, she smelled it and said, “Smells good!”
Zeng Li smiled proudly and said, “Everyone in your hometown loves spicy food. If you’re satisfied, the soldiers will love it as well.”
At this moment, a sound came from the door. ...
Zeng Wei heard the conversation as soon as he entered. When he saw Zeng Li, he said angrily, “You finally came back?”
Zeng Li laughed as he teased, “Brother, you and Sister-in-law are really husband and wife. When you guys saw me, you both said the same thing! Let’s not talk about anything else. Try these few types of chili sauce I risked my life to bring back!”
When Zeng Wei heard this, he sized up Zeng Li. Lin Xue grabbed Zeng Li’s hand anxiously and checked it. “Are you hurt?”
Zeng Li hurriedly explained, “Sister-in-law, don’t be nervous. I’m not injured. Among the buddies who came back with me, there was a very tough person called Xiao Sheng. He saved me in time. We were stopped by some people near Minxin Town and fought with them.”
When Zeng Wei heard that Zeng Li wasn’t injured, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. When he heard that there was a fight, his first question was, “You didn’t lose, right?”
Zeng Li touched his glossy hair and said calmly, “Don’t worry, I didn’t embarrass the Zeng family! There were more than twenty of them, but they were all beaten up by us. We called the police and wiped out that group of bandits. They’ll be out five to ten years later.”
Zeng Wei nodded in satisfaction when he heard this. “Not bad.”
The garlic, double-pepper sauce, and mushroom beef sauce that Zeng Li had brought back were all purchased by the logistics department of the military region the day after the goods returned. After that, the soldiers who had originally complained about the taste of the food shut their mouths. Finally, Zeng Wei no longer had to hear the same complaint during every meeting.
Because of this, the Zeng family finally changed their impression of Zeng Li. Zeng Li was on a roll recently.
Zeng Li had left S City for more than ten days. Although he had a capable right-hand man to help him oversee the black market, as the person in charge behind the scenes, it was time for Zeng Li to go and inspect.
Zeng Li went to the black market’s office early in the morning. After he finished checking the recent accounts, it was already afternoon. After he stretched himself, he left the black market. Just as he was thinking about the next move in his pursuit of Yu Bing, he suddenly saw more than ten men walking toward him.
Zeng Li looked around and realized that he was on a small path. At this time, he didn’t see anyone else on the small path, so he felt a little uneasy.
Zeng Li turned around and walked back, but when he heard the other party’s quickened footsteps, he immediately understood that the other party was really coming for him. Hence, he ran forward quickly. Just as he was about to reach the main road in ten meters, three men appeared at the entrance of the path and blocked the way.
After Zeng Li stopped in his tracks and looked around, he determined that the leader was the man who was wearing a floral shirt and standing at the entrance of the path.
His expression was calm as he asked, “What a spectacle. You actually found more than ten people to block my way. You think quite highly of me.”
The man raised his sunglasses to his head, revealing a pair of sinister eyes. “Third Young Master Zeng, you don’t recognize me anymore?”
Zeng Li frowned when he realized that he was Zou Wu’s younger brother, Zou Kun, his biggest competitor in S City’s black market. “I barely recognized you after you changed your style. Why are you dressed so gaudily? Who are you showing off to?”
When Zou Kun heard Zeng Li’s words, the ruthlessness in his eyes intensified. “Third Young Master Zeng, if you don’t know how to speak properly, I’ll teach you!”
The Zeng family was involved in the military, while the Zou family was in politics. However, the difference between the two families was that the Zeng family’s status in the army was as solid as ever. Zeng Wei, Zeng Miao, and their uncle all had deep roots in the army.
However, the Zou family was in decline now. The Zou family had three sons. The eldest, Zou Wen, had followed his father into politics. The second son, Zou Wu, had entered the government on the surface, but he and the third son, Zou Kun, were actually trying to seize control of S City’s black market share.
Zou Kun was a ruthless, but simple-minded and petty person. The reason his business could reach its current level was all because of Zou Wu’s command from behind the scenes. Zou Kun was only the person in charge on the surface.
The last time Zou Kun messed up a delivery, Zeng Li contacted the other party and snatched the long-term supply of those orders.
This was normal in the business world, but Zeng Li knew that Zou Kun must be feeling upset. He didn’t expect Zou Kun to come looking for him so quickly.
