Chapter 538: Chapter 538 Big Business (4)_1

Ruan Xia returned home as night was just falling, and without taking time to rest, he hurried to the Ruan family to deliver the message. It wasn’t until Ruanlin Family heard that he had passed on the word that they finally felt at ease.

Lu Zhiwei had connections in the town, and he was also familiar with the people at the police station. If someone was truly trying to cause trouble for the Ruan Family, it would likely not be easy.

Ruan Jiaojiao felt much relieved to hear that Lu Zhiwei had gone to the city.

However, that evening, neither Ruan Jianguo nor Shu Jiao returned. Although Ruan Jiaojiao was still worried, since it wasn’t the first time they hadn’t come home at night, she managed to stay calm.

But when she returned from school the next day and heard from the Ruanlin Family that Ruan Jianguo and Shu Jiao had still not come back, the heart that Ruan Jiaojiao had never let go of was once again lifted with worry.

The Ruanlin Family felt the same way, didn’t they?

The home couldn’t be left unattended now, otherwise, she would have gone to the city to inquire long ago, especially since not one of her four sons had returned, which made her even more anxious.

As soon as Xiu Xi and Ruan Jiaojiao returned from school, she immediately had Ruan Xia take them to the city.

The nearly two-hour journey left both Ruan Jiaojiao and the Ruanlin Family uneasy. Usually, Xiu Xi’s comfort was the most effective whenever Ruan Jiaojiao was unsettled, but today it didn’t work.

No matter how he held her hand, she still felt worried.

When they finally arrived in the city and saw the nearly unrecognizable smashed tables and chairs inside the restaurant, Ruan Jiaojiao and the Ruanlin Family were stunned.

Master Chef Zeng and his apprentices sat outside the restaurant with faces full of sorrow. Upon seeing Ruan Jiaojiao and the Ruanlin Family arrive, they hurried over to greet them anxiously, "How is auntie doing? Has Jianguo been released?"

"What?" the Ruanlin Family exclaimed, "Released? What do you mean?"

"You don’t know?" Master Zeng was also taken aback.

"Uncle Zeng, my parents haven’t come home all night. What’s happened?" Ruan Jiaojiao asked anxiously from the side, her eyes reddening.

Her fears had indeed come true.

Looking at the devastated storefront, she felt sad and scared.

Fearful that her uncles along with Ruan Jianguo and Shu Jiao had met with trouble.

Master Zeng glanced at the Ruanlin Family, let out a heavy sigh, and said, "Let me tell you, but don’t get too anxious. Shu Jiao has already gone to seek help; surely, everything will be fine."

"What exactly happened!" the Ruanlin Family had no patience to hear these comforting words.

Only then did Master Zeng explain what had happened that morning.

They had received the big business deal yesterday afternoon at around two o’clock. The client mentioned he needed to hold a banquet to celebrate getting a daughter-in-law, requiring fifteen tables.

The restaurant wasn’t big enough to accommodate fifteen tables, so Ruan Jianguo specially borrowed space from the shop next door and even bought five sets of tables and chairs, saying they could be used in the future anyway.

The client was generous, giving a deposit of two hundred yuan right off the bat.

He said he wanted to invite all the well-known people of the city for the banquet and it couldn’t look shabby; he even specifically ordered a lot of game because everyone knew that if you wanted to eat game, the Ruan Family restaurant was the place to go.

Ruan Jianguo was thrilled to land the deal and joyfully went to gather the necessary ingredients for the New Year, working overnight to process and butcher them.

Shu Jiao had resumed her position at the high school the previous month, and Ruan Jianguo, wanting to make things more comfortable for his wife, had even cleared out the storage room to transform it into a makeshift bedroom, where they could make do if it got too late at night.
