268 The Culprit
The matter finally came to an end. Qin Xi asked the shop assistant to tidy up the shop. She gave them all a small bag of fruits and gave them half a day’s leave.
Chauffeur Wang watched from the side the entire time. Although Qin Xi was quite experienced in dealing with things, he did not understand why Qin Xi did not drag the real culprit out.
Hence, he asked frankly, “Miss Qin, why did you let the culprit off?”
“Let him go?”
Qin Xi smiled mysteriously. “How do you know he can get away with it? Do you think I’ll show mercy to people who offend me?”
The faint smile on Qin Xi’s face frightened Chauffeur Wang. Previously, he had heard from Minister Meng that Qin Xi was not a simple person and told him to be careful. Back then, he didn’t understand it. Now, he was awe-struck.
“Brother Wang, these are the fruits for Uncle Meng. Also, this basket is for you. Thank you for your help. If you finish it, e and get more. Don’t stand on ceremony with me.”
A few shop assistants brought over two big and one small fruit baskets.
Wang quickly nodded and was impressed again by Qin Xi’s ability to win people over.
After sending Wang away, Qin Xi checked Su Fang’s ankle. “It’s nothing serious. It’s just a flesh wound. You’ll be fine after I perform acupuncture.”
Su Fang endured the pain and thanked her. “Thank you, Miss Qin.”
Qin Xi took out an acupuncture bag and began to treat Su Fang.
At the shop, things were finally settled.
As for the culprit behind it, the reason why Qin Xi was alright with letting him go was because she had put a tracking talisman on that person’s car. She wanted to play her prey slowly before killing it.
The car turned a few streets and finally stopped in front of a fruit shop. The door opened and a middle-aged man in his forties got out.
The man was thin and ordinary-looking. He was wearing a suit and glasses and looked very honest.
However, if one looked closely, they would notice a trace of sinister light in his eyes.
His name was Qiu Shengli, and he was the boss of Victory Fruit Store. The reason why he hired Zhang Chunlan and the others to cause trouble at Sweet Dew was naturally because he was angry.
Ever since Sweet Dew Fruit Store opened, his fruit shop as the number one fruit shop had been replaced. The other fruit shops were not big and weren’t as seriously affected. Only his fruit shop was about to close down.
Moreover, it had been three days since anyone patronized his shop. Some fruits had long rotted. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before the shop closed.
Therefore, he had no choice but to think of this method. He only wanted to smudge the reputation of the Sweet Dew Fruit Store so that he could make a eback.
However, he did not expect Zhang Chunlan and the others to be so useless. Not only did they not get what he wanted, but he also lost a big sum of money. He was really angry. He could only e back for the time being and think of another way.
