“I also hope it’s a mistake, but to be safe I’d like to ask your boss directly. Otherwise, I’ll have to take this person to the Government Office to file a complaint. Not to mention if the Government Office has to come and invite your boss, it may not paint a pretty picture,” said Wei Ruo.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper looked even more awkward.

Subconsciously, he glanced towards a certain spot on the second floor.

Wei Ruo noticed his gaze, and following it, he saw a private room on the second floor with the words “Crane Pavilion” written on it.

“If you’ve done something wrong, don’t be afraid of others knocking on your door. Is your Zuixian Residence number one in Taizhou prefecture built on such tricks?” he asked.

After Wei Ruo finished speaking, there was a long silence both in and around the private room. The hall became eerily quiet.

Just when Wei Ruo was about to turn around and head towards the Government Office, thinking he wouldn’t get to meet anyone today, the door to the private room opened…

A young man stepped out. He had a handsome face, wore a traditional coronet, held a folding fan in his hand, and carried himself with an air of elegance.

The crowd in the hall changed their expressions as soon as they saw the man.

Particularly Li Biao, who Wei Ruo had brought in. His eyes widened in shock and horror.

From the reactions of others, Wei Ruo could tell that there was a considerable degree of respect, even fear, towards this man.

The man held a smile on his face as he looked down at Wei Ruo standing in the hall on the first floor.

Wei Ruo met the man’s gaze, unflinching.

With a smirk, the man shifted his attention to Li Biao who had been brought in by Wei Ruo.

“I would also like to know who has been causing trouble under the guise of my Zuixian Residence,” he said.

Upon the man’s concentrated gaze, Li Biao looked increasingly troubled as he quickly averted his eyes.

Panic washed over his being.

The man on the second floor then instructed the attendant standing behind him, “Go and find out who did this.”

“Yes, sir,” responded the attendant, as he descended the stairs and walked towards Li Biao.

As the attendant approached, Li Biao immediately started to panic.

Before the attendant could even speak, Li Biao confessed, “Don’t, don’t hit me. It was boss He from Heji who hired me! He told me to claim that I was working on the orders of Zuixian Residence, saying it would scare them off more easily! I was only doing what I was paid for!”

Heji was a shop on the west side of the street selling braised dishes and some snacks like nuts and dried fruit.

Then, Li Biao pleaded with the man on the second floor, “Spare my life, sir. Spare my life, I won’t dare to do it again!”

The man on the second floor looked indifferent as he asked Wei Ruo, “Young master, is there anything else you wish to say?”

Everyone in the room was sweating for Wei Ruo.

“There’s no issue now. If this person had spoken the truth earlier, I wouldn’t have needed to bother the boss,” said Wei Ruo.

“Indeed, you came to me instead of directly reporting to the officials. That does show some respect,” the man chuckled.

“Thank you for your understanding, sir. I’ll not trouble you any further, excuse me,” replied Wei Ruo.

Intending to leave, Wei Ruo turned around.

“Wait,” the man from the second floor spoke again.

His call made the hearts of everyone in the hall jump.

This young man had offended the boss and intended to leave just like that. It seemed too simple.

It looked like the young man was about to have some tough luck.
