Chapter 701: Chapter 695: Renovation Encounters Obstacles
What they didn’t know was that it wasn’t those people’s conscience that had awakened, but rather they had encountered Qin Lang who had come to investigate, and then been beaten and warned.
Here’s how it happened. That day, after Qin Lei and his wife had finished the paperwork, they went back, and the shopowner went back to his store to pack up the things he wanted to take with him. It was then that the thug found out that the space had been indeed taken over by Qin Lei and his wife.
This couldn’t be allowed to stand, as their business had not been settled. They had to go back and explain themselves, so the thug went back. He didn’t try to stop the shop owner from packing up, as the store was no longer his. What would be the point of stopping him? It was better to hurry back and give an answer to the people involved.
So he went back, and as one would expect, he got a severe scolding. This infuriated him, as he had no idea that Qin Lei was unafraid of trouble. He thought that scaring these people would make them obedient, but this time it didn’t work. After warning Qin Lei and his wife, he didn’t pay much attention to their movements and ended up with this slip-up.
“Mr. Li, this can’t be entirely our fault. Who knew that the man wouldn’t be afraid of trouble? We warned them, but they still took charge of the business. I’ll go and try to stop their plans in the back and make sure they don’t succeed,” said the thug, but deep down, he despised Li Kun’s lack of initiative in handling the situation.
Yes, the person behind all this was Li Kun. After his leg had healed, he was itching to do something, but upon inquiring, he found out not only had Qin Yun left home, but even Qin Qiu had followed her.
Initially, Li Kun wanted to trick Qin Qiu into coming out. After all, they had been together for so long, even if all they did was hold hands. Now that they couldn’t be together anymore, he thought he needed to get her back no matter what. But he hadn’t expected that they would leave while he was injured. He couldn’t bear this humiliation of being dumped because of his broken leg.
On his way back, he noticed the booming business and good location of the “Honest and Straightforward Household Shop.” Upon inquiring, he found out it was owned by someone with no background, so he thought he could offer some money and have them transfer the shop to the Li family.
However, who knew that the shop owner would be so ungrateful? So after going there two or three times, Li Kun decided not to bother himself anymore. Instead, he found the local thugs to cause some trouble in the shop. After making it difficult for the owner to run the business, the owner finally decided to transfer it.
Li Kun went to make the deal, but the shop owner refused to transfer the shop to him as soon as he saw his face. So, Li Kun sabotaged the process by stopping others from renting or taking over the shop.
No one on the street dared to cross these thugs, so those who had been interested were all warned off. Everything seemed to be going according to their plans until this unexpected turn of events left Li Kun fuming.
With this thug’s explanation, Li Kun realized that this Qin Lei was his ex-girlfriend’s uncle. This made him even angrier, as he hadn’t forgotten how Qin Yu had threatened him before.
Now with both the father and son messing with his plans, Li Kun felt even more determined to teach them a lesson. So he sent the thugs to stir up trouble.
The first time, they managed to hinder the progress, but after the second attempt, they were beaten up. At this point, Li Kun went to demand an explanation but found that even his relatives didn’t dare to support him. They only told him not to mess with Qin Lei and his people anymore, or else not even they could protect him. Not only would Li Kun be put in danger, but even his position could be at risk. So in the end, Li Kun didn’t get any justice and was warned instead.
Now, he didn’t know how to vent his anger, so he called the thug to tell him what had happened that day.
