Chapter 654: The Zhou Family’s Plan

Editor: Henyee Translations

These people were just asking for a beating. They had to suffer a beating before they were willing to cooperate obediently. It was unknown if they were fond of being physically abused.

As expected, the boss nodded hurriedly. “Please ask.”

“Since you guys went to Gu’s, what did you find out?”

The boss swallowed his saliva. His answer was exceptionally concise. “We didn’t ask around. It was Steward Zhou from the Zhou Mansion who told us about Miss’s family.” As he spoke, he looked at her carefully. “Steward Zhou said that Miss’s family only came from a small county city below. She doesn’t have any status or background. She opened a shop in the county city called Gu’s. Now that her business has expanded, she plans to open a shop in the prefectural city.”

“Apart from these, is there anything else?”

The boss hurriedly shook his head. “No, Steward Zhou only said that Miss doesn’t have any backing.”

This was enough. Moreover, in just a few days, the information he could obtain was really limited.

At most, he knew that Gu Yundong had opened a shop in the countryside and had a few family members.

They probably did not even find out that Gu Yundong was once a refugee, right?

Gu Yundong understood and nodded thoughtfully.

The boss quickly said, “I-I’ve said everything I know. Can we leave now?”

“One more question.”

“Go ahead.”

Gu Yundong narrowed his eyes. “Since Steward Zhou found out and told you, does that mean that he wants you to do something? To find trouble with us?”

The boss’s heart skipped a beat. Oh my god, why was this girl so smart? It was too scary.

He quickly shook his head. “No, no. We don’t dare anymore.”

“Answer the question.”

“Yes, that’s the plan. But isn’t your shop still being renovated recently? Steward Zhou asked us to cause trouble on the day you open business.” The more he spoke, the lower his voice became. Soon, he raised his head and promised, “But don’t worry, we won’t go. Really.”

Who would dare to go? These two girls were skilled. That day, when the man hit them, it was even more painful. No matter how many local hooligans they had, they would still be serving themselves to those people like food. Why? Steward Zhou did not give them much money.

Gu Yundong knew what was going on. She looked at the local hooligan who was trying his best to squeeze out a smile and said, “No need. Just come over on the day of the opening.”

“Huh? Huh??”

Gu Yundong’s gaze was dangerous. “I told you to come over. Don’t worry, I won’t hit you.”

Gu Yundong narrowed her eyes when she saw that his eyes were darting around. He definitely did not intend to listen to her. “If you don’t come, I’ll settle scores with you later.”

The local hooligan was speechless. He had never seen anyone who was in a hurry to invite trouble to themselves. Was this girl crazy?

“If you come, you can still earn some money from Steward Zhou. Isn’t that good?”

When the local hooligan heard this, he realized that it made sense. Anyway, this girl had promised not to hit them. They could still earn some money. Why not?

Besides, when the time came, they would stand far away and just pretend to be there.

He was dreaming. Gu Yundong sneered and finally stood up. “Alright, our shop will open in four days. Remember to come.”

With that, she left with Tong Shuitao.

As soon as she got into the carriage, Tong Shuitao couldn’t help but ask, “Miss, the Steward Zhou that that person mentioned is the person who came to cause trouble for our shop last time?”
