Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Trouble Comes

The chain cold drink store owned by Fazhong Group was one of the largest shareholders. The bald man was naturally aware of this and had vaguely heard that Chen Cang’s son attended Tianjiao High School—wasn’t that right near here?

So as soon as the bald man heard this, his face changed drastically, and he quickly said with a smile, "Young Master Chen, look at these dog eyes of mine, not recognizing you, the towering Mt. Tai before me. Please don’t take offense."

The Monkey and Xiao Jun exchanged a disdainful glance, cursing inwardly. However, the bald man ignored their sneers completely.

Chen Cang waved his hand and smiled, "I heard you’re targeting the Xia Family’s ice cream shop?"

"Exactly, if you know them, Young Master Chen, I will show nothing but respect and no longer mess around when I see that family."

The bald man said hastily, thinking that Chen Cang had come because of the Xia Family’s ice cream shop.

"Don’t worry, I’m not here to ask you to spare their shop. You need to handle them severely, but not in the way you mentioned."

Chen Cang shook his head and said, "You’re thinking of smashing the store, but that won’t work. Last time, I tried that, and almost ended up in the hospital because of Xia Wei’er’s boyfriend! You should think of other methods, understand?"

"That harsh?!"

The bald man was taken aback, realizing that anyone Chen Cang dared to hit must be truly ruthless. Moreover, this also confirmed why Chen Cang wanted to target Xia Wei’er and her daughter.

After their discussion, which lasted over half an hour, Chen Cang finally left the cold drink store satisfied with Monkey and Xiao Jun.

In the evening, when Xia Wei’er returned home from school and saw her mother busily moving around, she quickly put her backpack down to help and then asked in a low voice, "Mom, those people didn’t come to bother you today, did they?"

"They did, but I did what you told me, and they left because it was indeed a sham!"

Wei’er’s mom said joyously.

"That’s good!"

Xia Wei’er sighed in relief.

"By the way, our popsicles are almost sold out, you should ask Tang Ming to make some more tomorrow."

Wei’er’s mom instructed.

"What? Finished already?"

Xia Wei’er thought about going to Tang Ming and was somewhat reluctant.

The next day after school, Xia Wei’er stood in front of Class 5, Senior Year 3, wanting to find Tang Ming, but feeling somewhat embarrassed. Coincidentally, Li Xiaoli walked out.

"Oh? Isn’t this Xia Wei’er? Are you looking for Tang Ming?"

Li Xiaoli asked.

"Yes, can you help me find him, please?"

Xia Wei’er, seeing Li Xiaoli, immediately felt relieved.

"Oh, sure."

Li Xiaoli obediently nodded her head, ran back into the classroom, and soon came back, saying, "I called him, he’ll be out in a while!"

"Great, thank you so much! Come have some cold drinks at my place too? My treat!"

Xia Wei’er felt Li Xiaoli was pretty decent, assuming the previous incident was just a misunderstanding, and she almost misjudged her.

"I’m not eating it, I won’t eat it anymore..."

Li Xiaoli quickly shook her head.

Only then did Xia Wei’er suddenly remember that Li Xiaoli almost lost her life because of eating cold treats last time. She was suddenly embarrassed and said, "Sorry, did you have any trouble after last time?"

"Nope!"

Li Xiaoli smiled and said,

"Well, Tang Ming is out. Bye, Meng Meng is waiting for me!"

After speaking, Li Xiaoli hopped away, and just then, Tang Ming also came out.

"So, we’re still going for the ice pops, shall we?"

Tang Ming came out, nodded at Xia Wei’er, and thought to himself that it wouldn’t take much time anyway, and since Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli had agreed, it was natural that he could not refuse.

"Thank you!"

Xia Wei’er nodded appreciatively.

Tang Ming and Fatty followed Xia Wei’er to the cold drink shop, intending to quickly prepare some ice pops. However, as soon as they reached the snack street, they saw a crowd gathered around the entrance of the cold drink shop. In the middle of the crowd, several people were lifting a stretcher and creating a scene at the entrance of the shop.

The leader was a woman in her thirties, plump and looking fierce by her facial expressions. She identified the cold drink shop, pushed aside the customers who were queuing to buy diet ice pops, and shouted loudly, "The ice pops from this shop have poisoned someone, and you still dare to buy them. Aren’t you afraid of getting sick too?"

Indeed, upon hearing this, the customers moved aside and watched the commotion, no longer daring to buy anything.

Wei’er’s mom, who was selling the ice pops, hurried out and frantically asked the woman, "Who are you, and why are you making false accusations by my shop door? Our cold drinks are very clean; how can they poison anyone? Isn’t this slander?"

"Slander?"

The woman sneered, "The person I’ve brought here, you can’t deny it! I’m telling you, if this issue isn’t resolved today, I’ll sue your family."

As she was speaking, four honest-looking men squeezed through with a stretcher. On the stretcher lay a man in his thirties groaning in pain, his face twisted in agony. Next to him stood an individual resembling a nurse, holding an IV bag. Upon this scene emerging, the surrounding customers scattered in fear, and many began whispering among themselves, wondering if there truly was an issue with the ice pops that caused sickness.

Wei’er’s mom, red-faced with anger, didn’t know how to defend herself and could only ask loudly, "You claim it was our ice pops that made someone sick; do you have any evidence?"

"Of course, there is evidence."

A man waved over from behind and brought forward a large bucket filled with many wrapped ice pops, which were clearly the diet ice pops sold at Xia Family’s cold drink shop.

"Take a look for yourself, aren’t these ice pops sold from your shop?"

The woman took the bucket and pointed at the ice pops while questioning.

The moment Wei’er’s mom saw this, she was shocked; the bucket indeed contained ice pops sold from their shop, leaving her speechless to defend. But how could it possibly poison anyone? Flustered and sweating profusely, she found herself at a loss for words.

"I’m not joking, right? These are your shop’s ice pops, aren’t they?"

The woman stood with her chest puffed up, sneering, "Let me tell you, we are honest people and aren’t trying to extort you, but it’s true that it’s your shop’s ice pops that made my husband sick. We’ve had the ice pops tested, and they contain laxative ingredients, which is why they made him sick! My husband was so dehydrated from diarrhea that he passed out and had to be rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, where he still requires IV therapy! I’m telling you, if you don’t compensate us, we will take you to court."

"That’s impossible, our shop’s products definitely do not contain any laxatives!"

Wei’er’s mom hurriedly defended herself.
