Two days later.
Chinatown Han Country Cuisine Restaurant.
Liu Jing had no classes today, so she was at ho helping out as a waitress while Liu Yanlan and a middle-aged man were busy cooking and serving custors.
"Master should be back today, right?" Yingzi sat on a chair, one hand propping her clean white cheek, lost in thought.
"I'm not sure, but I heard that the special warfare squad led by Xuan Zhongso was completely wiped out, and the superweapon was also destroyed. Your family head must be fine," Xiao Zhu, looking charming, said while standing on the side.
Xiao Zhu was an orphan to begin with; the Li Family had been trampled by Lin Mo, and she had nowhere to go. These past two days, she had gotten along well with Liu Yanlan in the restaurant, so she wanted to stay and live a normal life, hence she started helping out at the restaurant.
"Liu Jing."
Suddenly a voice sounded, and a group of people entered through the door.
Leading them was a middle-aged man dressed in a suit, with a potbelly. There was also a young man beside him, likewise in a suit and looking elegant, followed by several young n and won.
This group was none other than Chinatown's business chairman Long Hao, his son Long Jianfeng, Long Jianfeng's current girlfriend Jiang Wei, and her companions Nie Ping and others.
"Long Jianfeng, why are you here again?" Liu Jing frowned.
Liu Yanlan and the middle-aged man from the restaurant also stopped their work and ca out, their faces showing a touch of anxiety and sorrow.
The middle-aged man was Liu Jing's father, Huang Haoran. He had been lying in the hospital the last ti Lin Mo ca, but after taking so elixirs left by Lin Mo, his illness had been cured, and he had returned ho to help out.
"Liu Jing, we're classmates, so I'm giving your family a chance. Don't make it difficult for to even care about our old school ties," Long Jianfeng commanded arrogantly.
Long Hao too narrowed his eyes slightly, his face showing a haughty expression: "Huang Haoran, we are both Huaxia people, fellow townsn. What do you think about the matter I ntioned to you last ti? Don't make it difficult for , the chairman of the business council, okay?"
Huang Haoran and Liu Yanlan exchanged a look of consternation. A few days ago, Long Hao had co over to talk to them about buying their restaurant because a manager was planning to transform Chinatown into a tourist zone and needed a unified plan.
But for Huang Haoran and Liu Yanlan, who made a living from this restaurant in the Han Country, selling it would an a temporary sum of money, but without a source of inco, life would be even more difficult in the future. Moreover, the price offered by Long Hao was far below the market value, basically carrying a sense of coercive predation.
"Aren't you guys annoying? When people say they won't sell, don't you have any sha?" Yingzi frowned, saying indignantly.
"Young lady, this is our business, and it seems unrelated to you," Long Hao said to Yingzi.
A month ago, Lin Mo and Yingzi had fought against the Bloodthirsty Society at the entrance of the restaurant. Although Long Hao had been frightened, he arrived this ti with orders. Moreover, he was talking about legitimate business. Yingzi might protect them temporarily, but she couldn't protect them forever; eventually, she would leave the restaurant.
Obviously, Liu Yanlan understood this too. If Yingzi hadn't been here these past few days, Long Hao would probably have already sent people to smash the place. But Yingzi could not stay forever. When that ti ca, no one would be able to help them.
"Hasn't the matter been taken care of yet?" At that mont, a man dressed in a suit walked in, followed by a group of bodyguards.
"Chairman Zhang, I will definitely take care of this matter," Long Hao said upon seeing the other party, his face showing a submissive and flattering expression.
The other party held a position equivalent to that of a Huaxia chapter head.
Zhang Zhunji's face showed a trace of impatience.
"Boss Liu, Yingzi." Just then, a cold-looking young man dressed in casual clothes walked in.
"Master." Yingzi's spirited eyes clouded with mist as she suddenly leaped into Lin Mo's arms.
Lin Mo rubbed her head, a helpless expression on his face, "Alright now, everyone's watching, you know."
"Xiao Mo, you're here." Liu Yanlan's face lit up with joy. Had it not been for the pills Lin Mo left behind last ti, her husband might still be lying in the hospital.
"Brother Xiao Mo." Liu Jing also called out, then imdiately said, "Dad, it was the pills Brother Xiao Mo gave us that allowed you to recover so quickly."
Huang Haoran had clearly heard about Lin Mo from his wife and daughter before and his face showed genuine gratitude, "Young man, my illness was cured thanks to you. I haven't had a chance to thank you in person, and I'm really embarrassed."
"It was just a small effort on my part," Lin Mo said indifferently.
Upon seeing Lin Mo appear, Long Hao, Long Jianfeng, Jiang Wei, and Nie Ping's faces all changed at the sa ti. They had personally witnessed Lin Mo commit murder. Even though it had been nearly a month since the incident, the re sight of Lin Mo brought back the scene of that day.
Zhang Zhunji frowned slightly, looking at Liu Yanlan and others with so impatience, and turned his head to say to Long Hao, "Chairman Long, the task I entrusted to you must be completed today, or else you can forget about holding the position as head of the comrce association."
"Brother Ji, I will make sure the task is done. You have my word," a fine sweat broke out on Long Hao's forehead.
"Boss Huang, you heard it too. Don't make it difficult for . After all, you want to continue living in Han Country," Long Hao turned his gaze on Huang Haoran, his tone subtly carrying a hint of threat.
Huang Haoran and Liu Yanlan both showed distressed expressions on their faces.
Indeed, they would continue living in Han Country because for so reasons, they temporarily couldn't return to Huaxia, and they didn't have the money to go to other countries either.
Lin Mo frowned.
Yingzi then explained at his side, "Master, these past few days they've been causing trouble, saying they want to buy the restaurant. But the price they offered is very low, it's clearly bullying."
Saying this, the young girl's pretty face showed a look of indignation, biting her silver teeth.
A chill appeared on Lin Mo's face. Although he wasn't particularly close to Liu Yanlan, she was after all a Huaxia person and there was so karma between them. Since he was there, he naturally couldn't ignore the situation.
"The restaurant is not for sale. If you dare to harass us again, believe it or not, I'll chop you all down?" Lin Mo said with a detached tone, his voice carrying a chill that seed to penetrate to the bone.
In an instant, the temperature in the entire restaurant seed to drop several degrees, chilling everyone to the core.
Long Hao, Long Jianfeng, Jiang Wei, and Nie Ping among others turned pale.
Lin Mo had dared to kill mbers of the Bloodthirsty Society; everyone believed his words without a doubt. If he were really provoked, he might actually commit murder.
Zhang Zhunji furrowed his brow. Although he was not too familiar with Huaxia's language, he still had to deal with Huaxia people, and he understood a bit, his face showing a trace of coldness as his gaze fell on Long Hao.
"This..." Long Hao's pupils shrank slightly, clearly sowhat afraid of Lin Mo.
