Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Mu Cheng’s Awkward Situation_1

Upon seeing the newcomer, Mu Cheng’s brows furrowed deeply.

Sunset Town was home to three major drug merchants, the most powerful among them being the Qiu Family, followed by the Shu Family and the weakest, the Mu Family.

Being drug merchants, there was hardly any harmony between the three great families, and frequent minor disputes were common.

However, currently, the demand for wild medicinal herbs was growing, leading to a supply shortage. This had caused the three families, who initially had minor disputes, to evolve into a state of incompatible rivalry. They dreamed of eliminating each other to monopolize the entire medicinal market but dared not make a move because of the balanced power between them and the watchful eyes of other competitors.

Otherwise, these three major drug merchants would have had bloody fights over resources already.

The man who had just arrived was Qiu Yunhe from the Qiu Family, a bully who liked to leverage his power and was good for nothing else.

Zhang Xian chuckled and walked forward, "Elder Sister Cheng, is this guy your friend?"

Mu Cheng smirked, "I’m not close to him."

"Oh, I see!" Zhang Xian, noticing the tension between the youth and Mu Cheng, wouldn’t let Mu Cheng get bullied. He approached and said, "Hey, Elder Sister Cheng says she doesn’t know you well! Stop babbling here as if you’re her close friend. If you were as handsome as me, then maybe she’d tolerate you. But with that ugly little face of yours, you have no business trying to hit on girls."

"You..." Qiu Yunhe was livid. "You think you’re so great just because you’re handsome? Can you swipe your face as a card out on the streets these days?"

"No, it’s not about being handsome. The problem is you, being unattractive, still trying to show off." Zhang Xian continued: "Look, Elder Sister Cheng has a disgusted expression every time she sees you. Why are you still trying to act cool here? You kept blinking just now, didn’t you? But with your tiny eyes, they became narrow slits when you blink. What were you blinking for?"

"You... you..." Qiu Yunhe was left fuming with anger.

Wasn’t the Qiu Family well known throughout Sunset Town? Who would dare disrespect him? Even Mu Cheng herself wouldn’t dare to freely insult him!

Where did this bold guy come from? Had he anything to do with Qiu Yunhe showing off?"

"Should we go?" Zhang Xian turned to the women, Fu Meiting and the others. "With him around, he might ruin your mood for shopping."

Fu Meiting chuckled, "Sure! I was just curious anyway, I already have plenty of clothes."

Dong Qian and Duan Hong also nodded, expressing no objections.

Zhang Xian gave a scornful look at Qiu Yunhe and scoffed. He then turned around to leave.

"What the hell do you think you’re doing? Who the fuck said you could leave?" Qiu Yunhe grabbed Zhang Xian’s clothes. "You think you can insult me and then leave just like that? Do you think I’m a pushover?"

Zhang Xian turned back, "What do you mean? Are you reluctant to let me go?"

Qiu Yunhe furiously responded, "You think I’m easy to handle, don’t you? You should go out and ask about who I, Qiu Yunhe am. Do you think you, a nobody, can mess with me?"

"Are you going to let go?" Zhang Xian wasn’t interested in further conversation. These privileged heirs were hardly eloquent.

Qiu Yunhe sneered, "What if I don’t? What are you going to do about it? Dare to hit me?"

Zhang Xian cracked a cunning smile, "I won’t hit you."

"You don’t have the guts." Qiu Yunhe boasted, "Since you know Mu Cheng, you should be aware of who I am. Dare to lay a hand on me in Sunset Town, are you looking for death?"

Zhang Xian wiped his nose, and when he spotted a trash can not far away, he grabbed Qiu Yunhe by the neck and dragged him towards it.

"Damn it, what are you playing at?" Qiu Yunhe struggled, but to no avail.

Zhang Xian ignored the struggles of Qiu Yunhe and, reaching the side of the rubbish can, threw him in after opening the lid.

"Holy shit..."

A stench surged towards him, and Qiu Yunhe almost fainted. He struggled to climb out.

Zhang Xian wasn’t planning to let Qiu Yunhe out though. After pushing him back in, he mercilessly slammed the lid shut and twisted the handle into a knot.

This trash can had an opening on the side and a lid on top, both with handles. If you tied the two handles together, the can couldn’t be opened from the inside.

Even if someone wanted to open it from the outside, it would take a great deal of effort. After all, the handles were made of iron, as thick as a pinky finger. Could the average person untie such a knot?

"What the fuck, let me out, let me out..."

Qiu Yunhe was hysterical inside, his voice almost breaking in desperation.

He was the young master of the prestigious Qiu Family, and now he was trapped in a rubbish bin in Sunset Town. How was he supposed to face people after this?

"Ha ha..."

Fu Meiting, Mu Cheng, Dong Qian, and Duan Hong couldn’t help but laugh at the pathetic sight of Qiu Yunhe, bending over with laughter. This guy was just too hilarious.

"Ladies, shall we go?" Zhang Xian wiped his hands, ignored Qiu Yunhe and, turning around, led the women away.

Qiu Yunhe was struggling desperately in the trashcan, but no matter what, he couldn’t get out. Besides, the space was small, filthy, and carried a nasty stench, almost making him throw up the meal he had had the day before yesterday.

At this moment, he knew what it meant to wish death upon oneself, and it was definitely not for humans to endure.

"Eh? Why is this guy in a trashcan?" a passerby asked curiously.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Qiu Yunhe hastily said, "Miss, let me out, I can give you money, all the money I have on me."

Startled, the woman quickly ran away.

"Damn... why are you running?" Qiu Yunhe roared.

He wanted to stick his head out, but the entrance was too small, he couldn’t stretch out, and it was extremely frustrating.

He tried to unlock it, but tragically found that the lock was just opposite to the entrance. He tried several times but couldn’t hook it up.

...

That night, after dinner.

Mu Cheng asked Duan Hong, Fu Meiting, and Dong Qian to stay at home, and she left with Zhang Xian to familiarize herself at the Mu family’s house.

"Elder Sister Cheng, since your medicinal herbs were taken from your own family, why didn’t you know about this before?" Zhang Xian, sitting in the passenger seat of the Audi, asked.

Mu Cheng forced a smile, saying, "My parents and grandparents passed away early, and I have no status in the Mu family now, so what would they tell me? If it weren’t for the medicinal herbs in Tiandu, which I managed well, it would be impossible for me to get the herbs from the family. Wild medicinal plants are a profitable business with low costs and high sales, but the price I get for the medicine is too high, so I didn’t earn much."

"What kind of behavior is this within the family?" Zhang Xian asked in surprise.

Mu Cheng said, "There are no feelings in a wealthy family, don’t you think the young master of a rich family is so powerful. Now that there are fewer children, it’s a bit better. If there are more children, the internal competition is even more intense."

"That’s true," Zhang Xian nodded, "But since you can’t make money, why do you continue to do so?"

Mu Cheng replied, "When my family started in the medicinal plant business, we were six brothers. We divided the occupied mountains into six parts, each one of us was responsible for the medicinal plants of one area. My ancestors just happened to be one of them. After my grandfather and father passed away, this land was passed on to me. If I stop the herb business, I won’t have a share of this land."

Zhang Xian demanded, "I’m becoming more and more confused. Since you have a piece of land, why do you need to pay for the herbs you get? Isn’t the land yours?"

Mu Cheng sighed, "My family is gone, can a girl like me fight them? They dismissed me with one sentence that I am incapable of managing, and I have to pay for the herbs myself. However, even though they didn’t allow me to manage my own area, that area is still under my name. As long as I don’t leave the Mu family, they can’t seize it. I have the ancestral agreement."

Zhang Xian asked, "Does your Mu Family have a leader? Or are you all doing your own thing, and it doesn’t concern the others?"

Mu Cheng said, "We each do our own work, meaning our Mu family is not a whole and there is no so-called Family Head. This is why our family fell behind the other two families when we first started, lack of unity. But my grandfather seemed to say that our Mu family is just a branch of the real Mu family. Whether the real Mu family truly exists, I’m not sure."

Zhang Xian smiled bitterly, "How come you don’t know anything?"

Mu Cheng said, "I don’t have anyone to stand up for me, they would not discuss anything with me, what could I know? They are simply trying to ostracize me and drive me out of the Mu family."

"Alright then! Since your Mu family is not united, I’ll help you take back your territory first."

Zhang Xian lit a cigarette and said, "Whoever dares to jump out and fuss around saying this can’t be done and that can’t be done, I dare to knock their teeth out."

"Are you always this domineering?" Mu Cheng laughed and said, "Hey, Zhang Xian, haven’t you ever thought about owning my territory? The profit from the medicinal herb business is not small, you know!"

Zhang Xian frowned and asked, "Why would you think that? Am I Zhang Xian that kind of person?"

Mu Cheng laughed and said, "Don’t get angry! I was just joking. I know your family has a big business and wouldn’t put a small business like mine in their eyes."

"Actually, I do have that idea," Zhang Xian said with a smile.

Mu Cheng was surprised, "Really?"

"Yes." Zhang Xian smiled and said, "But my ambitions are bigger than you think. I not only want your territory, but I also want you."

"You jerk..." Mu Cheng rolled her eyes at Zhang Xian.

Zhang Xian chuckled and asked, "Elder Sister Cheng, since I’m helping you this much, you must have secretly promised me, and will gladly give yourself to me, right?"

Mu Cheng gave Zhang Xian another eyeroll, "Young man, you can be even more imaginative. You think you’re helping with this little favor, you expect me to give myself to you?"

"That’s true, this little favor is not enough to make you, Elder Sister Cheng, offer yourself to me. But..." Zhang Xian chuckled, "A kiss, a touch on your breasts should be okay, right?"

Mu Cheng bitterly smiled, "What kind of logic is this? Who asks for this kind of reward when they help?"

Zhang Xian pouted, "Elder Sister Cheng, if I were like other people, would I have so many beautiful women like me? The reason I’m so attractive is that I am very special!"

Mu Cheng was filled with exasperation, "Okay! You are special, you’re like the moon in the sky, others are very small, only you are much bigger, very dazzling."
