Overbearing Immortal Doctor Chapter 180 - 180 180 Worried

180: Chapter 180: Worried 180: Chapter 180: Worried “What exactly happened?

Tell , and I’ll make sure you get your revenge!” Wang Baishan exclaid indignantly.

Niu Zhigang, with his head hanging low and all confidence gone, muttered, “Forget it…

Forget it, I don’t want to die so soon!”

The more he talked like this, the more anxious Wang Baishan beca.

“What the hell happened earlier?

Can’t you two talk?” he cursed.

Despite his stern tone, the two remained silent.

Unable to really act on his threats, Wang Baishan had no choice but to stop the car and kick them out.

Niu Zhigang got out and tried to console him, “Brother Wang, I don’t know how Jiji offended you, nor do I know his background, but it must have been significant for you to trouble yourself with us.”

“But I advise you, it’s better not to cross them, especially that Wu Xiaoyu!

Otherwise, you…”

The heavily made-up woman quickly covered his mouth, hinting for him to stop talking.

Seeing this, Wang Baishan left, filled with anger and confusion.

Niu Zhigang’s behavior made Wang Baishan resent and puzzle over Wu Xiaoyu even more.

How could a re peasant have such power to make Niu Zhigang submit?

Even though Zhou Dong’s father and Ma Shengming are friends, even Ma Shengming himself wouldn’t easily offend Niu Zhigang’s father.

So why did Niu Zhigang flee?

Is there so secret I’m unaware of?

It looks like I need to investigate their backgrounds thoroughly.

While Wang Baishan was troubled by Wu Xiaoyu, Wu Xiaoyu himself wasn’t doing much better.

He was having a splitting headache from Li Qianqian’s fussing and even considered silencing her.

He felt helpless with this unexpected burden.

Everyone at Jiji pampered her, even Zhou Dong took her side.

If he so much as directed a word at Li Qianqian, Zhou Dong would label him a heartless cad.

Damn it!

I never touched her, you know that, what’s your deal?

“If you don’t give your ho number, I’ll throw you out and let you keep being tornted by others!” Wu Xiaoyu threatened nacingly.

Li Qianqian, undeterred, smiled and threatened back, “Go ahead, throw out.

That way, those bad guys will know you saved , and we’ll be in this together.

We’ll weather the storm and share life and death!”

Damn it!

Weather the storm?

Share life and death?

Are you crazy?

Finding himself outmatched, Wu Xiaoyu had to flee.

Just as he stepped out of Jiji, pushing his motorcycle to the intersection, he bumped into Chen Zhaofeng from Juxian Inn.

Chen was casually wandering at the corner.

Wu Xiaoyu was about to ride away when Chen glanced at him and slowly sauntered over.

Wu Xiaoyu had to stop.

Chen greeted him, “Inspecting the business?

You seem to have it pretty easy as a boss.

I wish I could be like that too!”

Wu Xiaoyu modestly replied, “Not really, I’m just slacking off.

Luckily, Zhou Dong is watching over things, so nothing goes wrong.”

A flicker of envy passed through Chen’s eyes before he laughed, “Yes, Zhou Dong is definitely good at managing a restaurant.

My business at Juxian Inn has taken a nosedive.”

Jiji’s opening had significantly impacted Juxian Inn, but it wasn’t as dire as Chen described.

Juxian Inn still had loyal custors after many years of operation.

Seeing Chen’s modesty, Wu Xiaoyu played along, “Co on, if your place is doing poorly, we’d be deserted here.

Go inside and see, we barely have any tables occupied.”

“Well, it’s mid-afternoon, not exactly alti.

My place is just the sa, empty…” Chen laughed.

Wu Xiaoyu, blocked by Chen’s non-stop chatter, initially planned for a brief exchange to leave but found Chen dragging out the conversation.

“Boss Chen, I’ve got to get back.

Maybe we can chat later?” Wu Xiaoyu suggested tentatively.

Chen clasped his hands together, scratching his wrist, and hesitantly asked, “So…

I heard there’s no shiitake mushrooms on your village’s mountain lately?”

Wu Xiaoyu inwardly chuckled and pretended not to understand, “Who told you that?

There are plenty of mushrooms on our mountain.

We even have little Li send them to Sacred Land County daily.”

Chen’s expression soured, an understanding dawning on him, “Is that so?”

“Boss Chen, you seem busy…

I’ll head back now!” Wu Xiaoyu said as he mounted his motorcycle again.

Chen quickly stopped him, smiling, “Don’t rush off, Brother Wu, co sit with at Juxian Inn.” Without waiting for a reply, Chen led him to Juxian Inn.

Though competitors, Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t outright refuse and followed him inside.

After a waiter served tea, Chen took a sip and smiled, “This is our new Longjing tea, try it.”

Wu Xiaoyu, clueless about tea, found all types the sa.

Mimicking Chen, he sipped it.

“This is top-grade Longjing.

I pulled a lot of strings to get my hands on it.

If you like it, take so with you,” Chen smiled.

Tired of Chen’s roundabout talk, Wu Xiaoyu bluntly asked, “Boss Chen, what’s this about?

Just say it!”

Chen was taken aback, sipped his tea again, and smiled, “Alright!

You’re straightforward, I’ll get to it!”

“You know I’ve been buying shiitake mushrooms from Liu Sheng, but he seems to have trouble finding them lately?”

Wu Xiaoyu chuckled inwardly, “He got bitten by a snake while foraging, might be scared to continue.”

Chen knew about Liu Sheng’s snake bite and suspected Wu Xiaoyu had monopolized Daxin Village’s mushrooms, making it impossible for others to find them.

“Oh, really?

I wasn’t aware!” Chen feigned surprise.

Seeing Wu Xiaoyu indifferent, Chen swallowed his pride and asked, “Do you have any extra shiitake mushrooms?”

Feigning surprise, Wu Xiaoyu replied, “I’ve got quite a lot.

Why?”

Chen, disgruntled by Wu’s act, forced a smile, “Well, I’d like to buy so from you.

What do you think?”

“Buying shiitake mushrooms?

Aren’t you afraid I might tamper with them?” Wu Xiaoyu chuckled, finishing his tea.

Chen’s cheeks flushed.

His past accusations had beco a point of rejection and mockery.

How ironic!

Chen laughed awkwardly, “Of course not!

I trust your integrity.

That day was just a joke.”

A joke?

Ha!

If I believed that, I’d be an idiot.

After a mont’s thought, Wu Xiaoyu pretended to apologize, “Did no one tell you?

I’m planning to start a shiitake mushroom sauce factory in the village, so I won’t be selling mushrooms anymore.”

Chen already knew from Liu Sheng about the sauce factory but pretended to be surprised, “Really?”
