Unexpectedly, tne two soldiers waved tneir nanas.
“There’s no need for that. Boss Lu, you can go and do your work. Isn’t there still a matter here? We have to settle this matter first.’
Saying this, the soldiers’ gazes fell on the shop assistant sitting on the ground.
The shop assistant’s face was filled with shock. When he heard that the two soldiers were here to send congratulatory gifts to the Lu family, he began to break out in cold sweat.
When he met the two’s questioning gazes, he trembled.
The soldier at the front asked him, “Where were we? Right, tell me in detail what exactly happened.”
How could the shop assistant dare to say anything? He could only shake his head in a panic and say with a trembling mouth, “I, I don’t, I don’t know…”
“You don’t know?” The soldier raised his voice and his expression became unfriendly. “There’s a fainted person lying in your arms, and you’re telling me that you don’t know what happened?”
The shop assistant was on the verge of bursting into tears. He could only look at Boss Lue, who was still pretending to be unconscious.
Boss Lue’s forehead was also covered in sweat. He was feeling uneasy too.
It was fine in the past since the Lue family had been rooted in this county for many years and naturally had a good relationship with the local officials. They were even on brotherly terms with the constables in the county government.
Otherwise, their ready-to-wear clothes shop wouldn’t have been able to monopolize the business in Jiangyuan County.
However, the original county magistrate had been arrested, and the constables who were found to be in the wrong had also been locked up in prison. The remaining constables did not dare to show up at all.
Boss Lue didn’t know the new Lord Xiang at all, let alone the two soldiers standing in front of him.
Why? Why were they related to the Lu family?
Boss Lue closed his eyes and racked his brain for ideas.
After a long while, he moved slightly and struggled to get up. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around blankly.
“What…what happened to me? What happened? Did I faint?”
Shu Yu was speechless. His acting skills were quite bad.
The shop assistant shouted exaggeratedly, “Boss, Boss, you’re finally awake!
You scared me to death.”
Boss Lue rubbed his temples and was helped up by the shop assistant. The two soldiers looked at him with a half smile, “Since you’re awake, tell us what happened.”
Boss Lue frowned and said while looking very uncomfortable, “I remember that I was walking in a hurry just now and I probably suffered a heatstroke, maybe because the weather is hot. It’s fine. I’ll be fine after I go back and lie down.”
“Of course not!” someone in the crowd quickly shouted.
There was never a shortage of people who enjoyed watching the show and taking pleasure in others’ misfortune. Previously, when Boss Lue was powerful, they criticized the Lu family, who had no background, scolding them for accepting the gift but angering Boss Lue to the point he fainted. Now that they knew that the Lu family was on good terms with the new county magistrate, they immediately changed their attitudes and pushed all the fault on Boss Lue.
Soon, someone told the whole story. They said that on the surface, Boss Lue was here to congratulate the opening of the Lu family’s shop, but in fact, he deliberately stood at the door and criticized the Lu family’s shop in front of everyone.
After that, the Lu family refuted him. After Boss Lue couldn’t win against the young lady, he immediately pretended to faint. They explained the cause and effect of Boss Lue ruining the reputation of the Lu family and Miss Lu.
They simply made Boss Lue into a heinous person.
Boss Lue was so angry that he wanted to retort, but the crowd did not give him a chance at all..
