"You're already with Wang Xiaomei, why would you want me back? To watch you two be lovey-dovey?"
"Erzhu, let's just leave it at that. What happened that day was a mistake, let's forget it!"
Just as Erzhu was utterly bewildered, he heard Li Mei say these words. His eyes darted, and then he remembered something.
"Sister Mei, you've misunderstood. It was the Queen Mother's killing intent that entered Wang Xiaomei's body, wanting to kill her. I was just comforting her."
Erzhu grabbed Li Mei's hand and recounted the entire recent incident in detail. Hearing this, although Li Mei found it unbelievable, her anger had already vanished.
"Wuwuwu... I thought you didn't want me anymore. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have let Chen Xiran tie me up and bring me here!"
Li Mei's nose suddenly felt sore, and she threw herself into Erzhu's arms. Too many emotions intertwined, making it impossible to describe in words.
Seeing Li Mei's distressed state, Erzhu had many things he wanted to say, but for a moment, his mouth felt as if it were glued shut, unable to utter a single word.
The river god really had a good eye for people; his emotional intelligence was truly worrying...
After crying for an unknown amount of time, Li Mei's emotions finally calmed down a bit. As they sat in the car heading back, Li Mei suddenly remembered something very important!
"Erzhu, you killed Chen Xiran, the Chen family won't let you go. We're returning to Huabei City, or we could go back to Shiliew Village!"
Li Mei gripped Erzhu's hand tightly, her eyes full of worry and anxiety.
"No need. If the Chen family doesn't come looking for me, I'll go find them myself. Sister Mei, don't worry, I'll handle this."
Mentioning the Chen family, Erzhu thought of his tragically deceased parents and grandfather. A flicker of killing intent flashed in his eyes!
Seeing Erzhu's arrogant words, although Li Mei wanted to say more, she saw the confident look in Erzhu's eyes and didn't say anything further.
In her heart, Erzhu was the most capable person. Since he said he would handle it, he would definitely handle it perfectly!
Besides, everyone in the cave was dead. Who would know the killer was Erzhu?
Just as Erzhu was driving back, the Chen family in the capital exploded.
Chen Yongli, the head of the Chen family, discovered that a mysterious person was madly acquiring the Chen family's assets. However, he couldn't figure out who it was after much investigation!
The Chen family was a top-tier wealthy family in the capital. Who possessed such immense financial power to make such acquisitions?
Chen Yongli sat on the sofa, stroking his chin, his mind racing. Suddenly, a figure emerged in his mind.
Wang Erzhu!
The Wang Erzhu who acquired all his Chen family's hotels!
Although that fellow came from a small city, he could tell that he was extraordinarily wealthy!
But he had no grievances with the Chen family; why would he be acquiring their assets?
Chen Yongli's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to contact Erzhu, he paused, a frown creasing his brow as if he had thought of something else.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed since Erzhu's return. Life continued peacefully, as if the events in the cave had never happened.
The beauty cream Erzhu developed was a hit as soon as it was launched, with sales exceeding those of similar products on the market by several times within just a week!
As a result, Wang's Traditional Chinese Medicine Factory also attracted the attention of many influential figures in the capital, with some even visiting to propose cooperation!
Of course, this also brought about envy and unwillingness, especially from the owners of companies producing similar products.
One day, to thank Erzhu for his righteous rescue, Wang Xiaomei invited Erzhu to dinner, saying she wanted to introduce him to a new friend.
"Erzhu, come in quickly. This friend is very useful to you, you must not neglect him."
As soon as he entered the private room, Wang Xiaomei rushed to greet him. She pulled Erzhu to sit down and was about to introduce him, but at that moment, footsteps sounded from the doorway.
"Uncle Liu, this is Erzhu. He's the behind-the-scenes boss of Wang's Traditional Chinese Medicine Factory!"
Upon seeing the person arrive, Wang Xiaomei quickly stepped forward, smiling as she linked arms with the middle-aged man with a protruding belly and pointed at Erzhu to introduce him.
Liu Jingsheng adjusted his side-parted hair and cast a contemptuous glance at Erzhu, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes.
"Niece, didn't you say there would be beautiful women? Where are they?"
Just as Wang Xiaomei was about to continue, Liu Jingsheng interrupted her, his face dark, and asked.
"The beautiful women will be here shortly. Erzhu, this is Liu Jingsheng, the Deputy Director of the Capital's Administration for Industry and Commerce."
Hearing the question, a hint of awkwardness flashed in Wang Xiaomei's eyes. She answered perfunctorily and quickly introduced the person to Erzhu.
Erzhu glanced at the lecherous man with a receding hairline and a slight smirk. So this was why Wang Xiaomei wanted him to bring Li Mei. Fortunately, he hadn't let Li Mei come.
"How can you juniors be so impolite? I am your elder. Shouldn't you stand up and greet me?"
Liu Jingsheng was somewhat angry that there were no beautiful women in the private room, but he couldn't take his anger out on Wang Xiaomei, so he directed it at Erzhu.
"You are not worthy of being called an elder. Xiaomei, I have other matters to attend to, I'm leaving."
Liu Jingsheng was about to say more, but Erzhu merely glanced at him, uttered these words, and prepared to leave. Liu Jingsheng was so enraged his face turned green!
"Erzhu, don't go! Your traditional Chinese medicine factory is already being watched by many big shots. Uncle Liu can be very useful for your future development!"
Seeing Erzhu about to leave, Wang Xiaomei quickly grabbed him and whispered in his ear.
"Even so, I can't use Sister Mei to build connections with him. Wang Xiaomei, you don't need to introduce people like this to me in the future."
As soon as Wang Xiaomei finished speaking, Erzhu gave her an impatient glance. Wang Xiaomei's eyes were filled with embarrassment and grievance, her eyes welling up with tears as she looked at Erzhu's receding back.
She hadn't actually intended to use Li Mei. Besides, although Liu Jingsheng was lecherous, he was timid. He just wanted to feast his eyes, and it wouldn't cause any harm to Li Mei...
"Hmph, daring to act all high and mighty in front of me? I'll shut down your company tomorrow!"
Liu Jingsheng, having recovered his senses, was even more furious. He pointed at Erzhu angrily, his eyes filled with threats.
The next morning, Erzhu received news that the traditional Chinese medicine factory had been sealed. He merely smiled faintly, not taking the matter to heart.
"Erzhu, what's going on? Why was the traditional Chinese medicine factory sealed?"
Li Mei glanced at Erzhu's phone with worry, her brow furrowed.
Erzhu's development in the capital had started with the traditional Chinese medicine factory. If the first step was met with misfortune, it would be even harder going forward!
"It's nothing. Just petty people causing trouble. It will be unsealed soon."
Erzhu smiled dismissively, gesturing for Li Mei to sit down as he ate breakfast.
Liu Jingsheng was a foot high, but Wang Erzhu was a foot higher!
Since he brought about his own demise, don't blame Erzhu for being impolite!
