"Okay, the bet period remains one month!"
Er Zhu directly picked up the agreement Wang Xiao handed over, uttered this sentence, and then turned to leave.
Watching Er Zhu's receding back, the smile on Wang Xiao's lips grew wider.
He wanted to see if this idiot would still be so arrogant a month later!
"Er Zhu, are you really confident? The prominent families Wang Xiao has allied with control half the hotels in town!"
In the luxury car, Wang Xiaomei cautiously leaned over and probed tentatively.
"Yes, and several are from neighboring cities..."
Liu Yan said, scrolling through messages from her friend with worry.
"It's fine. Don't worry about hiring people for now. They'll come to us on their own soon enough."
"By the way, what about the shares?"
Er Zhu remained calm. His eyes darted around, and he finally remembered a crucial question.
Originally, he had only intended for the three women to help him. He hadn't expected them to contribute money. If that was the case, then the hotel wouldn't be solely his!
"You decide about the shares. We'll listen to you on everything concerning the hotel. We'll just take the dividends!"
"Right, right, right! You can sell the hotel later, and we won't complain. It's all yours anyway!"
The three women exchanged glances, then repeatedly waved their hands, their eyes full of appeasement.
"Very well."
Seeing the three women's infatuated looks, Er Zhu naturally understood their intentions and said nothing more.
His career was growing bigger and bigger, and he was one step closer to revenge!
Thinking of everything that had happened before, Er Zhu's gaze, filled with complex emotions, turned towards the direction of the capital.
After sending the three women home, Er Zhu drove back to Shiliu Village. At the village entrance, however, he saw a group of villagers covered in injuries from afar.
Some had faces swollen like pig heads, others had broken legs. They looked utterly disheveled.
"Look, Er Zhu is back..."
The group of villagers were discussing something when a dark and thin young man suddenly pointed at Er Zhu's black luxury car and shouted. Instantly, all the villagers, filled with anger and grievance, surrounded him.
Their appearance was like that of bullied children who had suddenly seen their parents return home...
"What happened to you all?"
Er Zhu rolled down the car window and looked at the disheveled villagers, his eyes growing cold.
"A person named Zhao Datang from the Chinese medicine factory has been slandering you. We spoke a few words on your behalf, and that guy joined forces with the villagers from Linyuan Village to beat us!"
A dark and thin young man said indignantly, covering his face, which was swollen into a pig's head.
"Alright, I understand. Go to the clinic and get some medicine first. I'll handle this matter."
Er Zhu's eyes flickered. Although he wasn't at the scene, he could guess what Zhao Datang would do.
He had thought that after the last lesson, Zhao Datang would have restrained himself, but he hadn't expected him to act like this!
If that was the case, then he couldn't be blamed for not being polite!
Er Zhu stepped on the accelerator, and the luxury car sped towards the direction of the Chinese medicine factory.
"Ah, we forgot to tell him that Zhao Datang's subordinates are all trained fighters!"
Not long after Er Zhu left, the dark and thin man suddenly slapped his forehead and shouted while sprinting towards Er Zhu.
Unfortunately, the luxury car was too fast, and the dark and thin man couldn't catch up...
"Everyone, don't just stand there. Er Zhu definitely can't beat Zhao Datang. We have to go and help!"
Without bothering to catch his breath, the dark and thin man waved his hand and urged the villagers panting.
Although the villagers were in pain, the thought of Er Zhu being in trouble made them nod heavily.
"Er Xiao, what happened to you?"
Just as the dark and thin man was about to lead the villagers away, Li Mei's voice came from behind.
Everyone turned to see Li Mei holding a wooden basin filled with freshly washed clothes, looking at them with confusion.
"Li Widow, here's what happened..."
Er Xiao was still figuring out how to explain to Li Mei when Villager Wang Xiao Er walked up to Li Mei and recounted everything that had just happened.
"The people Zhao Datang brought are very ruthless. Their skills are definitely no less than Er Zhu's!"
After speaking, Wang Xiao Er suddenly seemed to remember something, saying as he pointed at his broken arm.
"See my arm? They broke it with one punch!"
Recalling the scene of being beaten, Wang Xiao Er's eyes were filled with fear, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and chase after him!"
Li Mei's face turned pale. Without bothering with the wooden basin that had fallen to the ground, she said and ran towards the Chinese medicine factory.
If one person's fist could break an arm, what would happen with over a dozen people?
Li Mei's face grew even paler. She shook her head, not daring to imagine what would happen, and her steps quickened!
Just as Li Mei and the others were rushing desperately towards the Chinese medicine factory, Er Zhu had already arrived.
At this moment, the entrance to the first workshop was already crowded with people. Cries of pain and sounds of fighting could be heard from inside.
"Wang Er Zhu is a beast! He slept with the wife of his savior. Such a person should go to hell!"
"I'll tell you another thing, the reason he became village chief is because he bribed Liu Changfa. I'm going to report him!"
Hearing Zhao Datang's furious nonsense, Er Zhu's brows furrowed. He squeezed into the workshop, and the scene before him made his eyes turn ice-cold!
He saw villagers from Shiliu Village lying on the ground in agony, covered in injuries. Among them was even Uncle Liu!
Zhao Datang stood to the side with an arrogant expression, flanked by over a dozen muscular strongmen behind him!
"I'm not afraid to tell you all, I'm talking nonsense, I'm slandering him. I want to see what Er Zhu can do to me!"
"Boom!"
As soon as he uttered the word "do," Zhao Datang saw a blur, and then a sharp pain shot through his nose!
Subsequently, warm liquid flowed from his nostrils, and a cold glint appeared in Zhao Datang's eyes!
Wang Er Zhu dared to hit him!
He's courting death!
"What are you all standing around for? Beat him soundly!"
Zhao Datang wiped the blood from his nose, waved his hand again, and shouted at the thugs behind him.
These thugs were hired at a great expense, and each one was a master martial artist!
Instantly, the dozen or so thugs surrounded Er Zhu. Seeing this, everyone in the workshop held their breath!
"Er Zhu, run quickly, you're no match for these people!"
Uncle Liu, seeing Er Zhu surrounded, forced himself to sit up and weakly shouted.
These thugs were too strong. They had easily defeated the forty or fifty strong men from the village, and Er Zhu was definitely no match for them!
"Running is impossible, but you can kneel and apologize to me. As long as you kneel to me, I'll spare your life!"
Uncle Liu wanted to say more, but Zhao Datang stepped forward and looked at Er Zhu with extreme arrogance.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the workshop grew increasingly tense, filled with the smell of gunpowder!
