Chapter 539: Chapter 539 Big Business (5)_1

Shu Jiao just happened not to come yesterday, but Lu Zhiwei and Zhao Li did, and they conveyed the Ruanlin Family’s worries to Ruan Jianguo. Ruan Jianguo did take it seriously, but the deposit had already been taken, and it wasn’t possible to back out of the deal just because of some speculation, right? That would ruin his own reputation.

Early this morning, the person who left the deposit came in, saying the banquet would proceed as usual at noon, but he wanted to taste the dishes beforehand.

Such a request wasn’t excessive, so Ruan Jianguo agreed.

At the same time, Lu Zhiwei also hurried over in the morning, still feeling uneasy.

When it was ten in the morning, the person who left the deposit came, tasted the dishes as requested, and even praised them, saying the banquet was well prepared and very decent. He then left, mentioning that the guests would arrive in an hour and told them to hurry up with the preparations.

Ruan Jianguo thought since the customer placed such importance on the banquet and even came to taste the dishes beforehand, there shouldn’t be a problem. Perhaps the Ruanlin family was overthinking, so he started serving the dishes.

As a result, the dishes were served, but the guests didn’t arrive. Instead, a group of men armed with clubs came in and started smashing up the place.

They said that the man who tasted the dishes had gone home only to start foaming at the mouth and collapsed, landing in the emergency room of the hospital. Their food was problematic, causing the man to be poisoned, and he was currently being resuscitated at the hospital.

The four Ruan brothers were not the type to be bullied easily. Though the attackers were armed with clubs, the brothers were tall and strong, prime-aged men who could knock someone out with a single punch.

A fight broke out immediately.

The brawl was so intense that it drew the attention of passersby who called the police, and both the four Ruan brothers and the group smashing the store were taken away.

Lu Zhiwei was there at the time and was taken away along with them.

Master Zeng had no way to deal with these matters and could only go to the school to find Shu Jiao. Her face darkening, Shu Jiao took leave from the school immediately after hearing what happened and hurried out, instructing him to watch over the store before rushing off.

The Ruanlin family’s face looked terrible after listening to Master Zeng’s account.

Ruan Jiaojiao’s little face was pale, and she held onto the Ruanlin family’s large hand, looking up at her with a hint of panic.

Fortunately, the Ruanlin family was able to remain composed. As she looked down and saw Ruan Jiaojiao’s frightened pale face, she bent down to caress her little head and comforted her, "Don’t be scared; they’ll be alright."

She then turned to Master Zeng, "Master Zeng, I’ll have to trouble you to keep an eye on this place for now."

"Okay," Master Zeng nodded.

The Ruanlin family turned to Ruan Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, is it okay for you to wait here? Grandma will go..."

"Grandma, Jiaojiao wants to go too," Ruan Jiaojiao’s eyes reddened. Although she knew she might not be of any help, she still wanted to follow along.

"Jiaojiao, be good and wait here." Usually, she doted on Ruan Jiaojiao immensely, but at this moment, the Ruanlin family was very sensible and knew she couldn’t bring her along.

Seeing her strict demeanor, Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t dare insist anymore and just nodded tearfully.

After entrusting Ruan Jiaojiao to Master Zeng as well, Ruan Xia drove the Ruanlin family to the police station.

"Don’t cry, it will be okay," Xiu Xi stood in front of Ruan Jiaojiao, softly comforting her.

Ruan Jiaojiao nodded with red eyes, wiped her tears with her small hands, and tried to smile, "Yeah, I know, it will be okay."

After the Ruanlin family left, Master Zeng began to clean up the restaurant with his young apprentice. The floor was covered in food, all trampled and grimy. Such fine dishes wasted just like that.
