Chapter 149: Chapter 0149 Cooking Plan

"Huh?"

Mr. Lei’s face was filled with astonishment, and he was about to go over and persuade Chen Cang, but by then Chen Cang had already walked towards the outside of the private room, and the Monkey stopped Mr. Lei with one hand.

"Mr. Lei, our Brother Cang has already spoken. You shouldn’t pursue this further. Let’s just let bygones be bygones."

The Monkey shook his head and said.

Mr. Lei, with a pained expression, said, "But I’ve already spent so much money to kill Tang Ming. If Young Master Chen doesn’t give me that one million, I’ll be at a huge loss! I can’t run my ice cream parlor right now, but according to the contract, I still have to pay rent every month, and this..."

"Our Brother Cang keeps his word. As long as Tang Ming was really killed by someone you hired, I believe the one million will definitely be given to you, but right now Tang Ming isn’t dead, is he? So, you better think about how to kill Tang Ming properly."

The Monkey said with a smile, then walked straight out of the private room.

Outside the restaurant, in the car, Chen Cang was sitting in the backseat, furiously smoking a cigarette, next to him was Xiao Jun, who was attending to him.

"Damn, what a useless guy, why did I think of collaborating with this dude."

Chen Cang puffed on his cigarette and cursed angrily.

Xiao Jun chuckled, "I knew Mr. Lei was useless long ago, all he can do is talk big."

The Monkey opened the car door, sat directly in the driver’s seat, then drove away from the restaurant, casually saying:

"Brother Cang, I’ve told Lei to stop bothering you, but I still said it, as long as he can get rid of Tang Ming, you’ll still give him the one million."

"Hmm, clever, if Tang Ming really dies, whether to give the one million or not will be up to me."

Chen Cang smirked.

"But, Brother Cang, how do we deal with Tang Ming?"

Xiao Jun asked with a troubled face.

"You’re asking me? I’m asking you guys. Do you have any ideas, some way to draw the kid away, preferably keep him so busy that he doesn’t have time to mess with my affairs with Liu Mengting?"

Chen Cang asked Monkey and Xiao Jun.

Driving the car, the Monkey thought for a moment and then said:

"Brother Cang, I actually have something I’ve wanted to say for a while, but I feared you wouldn’t take it well."

"Go ahead, I promise I won’t get mad."

Chen Cang said, frowning.

"Well, I’ll just say it. Brother Cang, this situation isn’t just about Tang Ming being in the way. Take Liu Mengting for example, she seems to not like you at all."

The Monkey said nervously and quickly checked Chen Cang’s expression through the rear-view mirror.

As expected, upon hearing this, Chen Cang’s face darkened. He was slightly upset, as any man would feel unpleasant when told the woman he likes doesn’t fancy him at all.

There was silence in the car for a moment before Chen Cang said, "That’s right, Liu Mengting doesn’t fancy me, but the more she disregards me, the more I like her."

Seeing that Chen Cang didn’t explode, the Monkey hurriedly continued, "So, even if we find some way to distract Tang Ming, but Brother Cang, if you’re not favored by Liu Mengting, it’s still no use. Continuing this way would just be agonizing for you, Brother Cang."

"So what do you suggest?"

Chen Cang asked, somewhat touched.

"Brother Cang, I say we just go for a definitive solution."

The Monkey said with a sinister look.

"A definitive solution?"

Chen Cang asked curiously, "What do you mean by a definitive solution? Don’t beat around the bush, or be careful, I might slap you."

"Hehe, Brother Cang, this definitive solution is actually just..."

The monkey was about to answer with a smile.

Suddenly, Xiao Jun slapped his thigh and clamored,

"Brother Cang, I know what the monkey means—his idea is for you to turn the uncooked rice with Liu Mengting into a cooked meal!"

"Exactly, Xiao Jun is finally using his brain."

The monkey joked with a smile.

Blushing, Xiao Jun said, "I always use my brain, okay? It’s just that I usually don’t say it out loud."

"Turning uncooked rice into a cooked meal, that’s a bit risky."

Chen Cang hesitated.

"Brother Cang, stop thinking about it. This is the only way to quickly settle Liu Mengting. Otherwise, if she falls for Tang Ming, you’re completely out of the game."

The monkey hurriedly said, "As long as you turn the uncooked rice into a cooked meal with Liu Mengting, the Liu family won’t be able to do anything to you. They’ll have to accept you as their son-in-law for the sake of their reputation. Plus, Tang Ming will have to tread carefully around you, since once you’re Liu Mengting’s man, you’ll practically be the Liu family’s young master."

"Right, the monkey is right. It’s not easy to deal with Tang Ming, but it’s much easier to deal with Liu Mengting. Just slip her some drugs, and then, hehe..."

Xiao Jun said with a sleazy grin.

After thinking for a while, many thoughts flashed through Chen Cang’s mind, and he said after a moment,

"Okay, let’s do that. But how can we get close enough to Liu Mengting to drug her?"

"That Tang Ming guy is highly skilled. Even an assassin couldn’t kill him. We can’t get near Liu Mengting without dealing with him, let alone drug her. I bet if something happens to Liu Mengting, Tang Ming will beat us up severely."

The monkey analyzed.

"Yeah, we must lure Tang Ming away first, then we’ll have a chance to drug Liu Mengting."

Xiao Jun also chimed in.

"Lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

Chen Cang remembered the idiom, then impatiently said, "Easier said than done. How can we lure Tang Ming away? That’s the real hassle, damn it’s headache-inducing."

"It’s not impossible, but we need to ask Mr. Lei for help."

The monkey said thoughtfully.

"What could that guy possibly do?" Chen Cang grew annoyed when he mentioned Boss Lei.

"Brother Cang, have you forgotten that Tang Ming once made popsicles for the Xia family?"

The monkey said with a sly smile, "We get Mr. Lei to buy out all the Xia family’s popsicles. That way, Tang Ming will have to help the Xia family make diet popsicles, giving you a chance to get close to Liu Mengting. Plus, we won’t have to spend a dime, and if anything goes wrong, we can let Mr. Lei take the blame!"

"Great idea, let’s do that."

Chen Cang’s eyes lit up, and he chuckled merrily.

The monkey immediately stopped the car and made a call to Boss Lei, instructing him to handle the matter. Where would Boss Lei dare to refuse? He was still looking forward to climbing high through Chen Cang to make a fortune with the Chen family, so he would certainly handle such simple tasks.

That evening, Boss Lei had Ma Gan buy out all the diet popsicles from the Xia family, ensuring the shop was completely cleared of stock.

Ma Gan said hesitantly, "Boss, their diet popsicles aren’t cheap. The price has just risen to seventy yuan per stick."

"Damn, aren’t they just profiteers? It was just fifty yuan a stick a while ago, and now it’s soared to seventy. They’re truly black-hearted."

Boss Lei cursed angrily.

Thinking to himself, Ma Gan mused, "If it were you, you’d probably charge a hundred, right? Besides, their popsicles are genuinely effective. Seventy yuan can achieve a weight loss effect, which is much cheaper than those diet pills."

Though he thought this, Ma Gan didn’t dare vocalize his thoughts, instead, he touched his nose and agreed, "Yeah, the Xia mother and daughter look exactly like profiteers. Boss, if you want me to buy so many, what are you actually planning to do?"
