Chapter 337 - Chapter 337: Chapter 337: Dragging Someone Down with You (2/2)
Xiangyun Restaurant was relatively independent among the imperial capital’s capitals, and its underlying assets were estimated to be worth over ten billion.
Zhao Hai’s visit this time was likely aimed at dragging Xiangyun Restaurant down with him.
Huang Ban Cheng adjusted his breathing slightly; in his heart, he was clear that he couldn’t mix himself up with Zhao Hai no matter what.
“My little restaurant is nothing in the eyes of a capital giant like the Tong Family. Besides, they are thriving in the restaurant industry in Suzhou City. Why would they want to oppose me?”
No sooner had he asked the question than Huang Ban Cheng regretted it; wasn’t this giving Zhao Hai something to latch onto?
Indeed, Zhao Hai slammed the table fiercely.
“Their family’s restaurant business is now growing untamed, especially with their prefabricated meal packs practically sweeping the globe. I refuse to believe that doesn’t affect you in the slightest, Boss Huang.”
Huang Ban Cheng felt somewhat troubled; he was well aware of the crux of the matter.
Yet, even so, as long as he did not openly confront the Tong Family, he could still hold a footing and barely survive.
But if he were to ally with Zhao Hai now, he feared he wouldn’t have even remnants left later.
Just as he felt troubled, two waiters happened to enter the private room.
Huang Ban Cheng hurriedly stood up and placed a bottle of Romane-Conti on the table.
“It’s an honor for Xiangyun Restaurant to have Young Master Zhao Hai visit us today. Please accept this bottle of wine on the house.”
After setting down the bottle and offering a perfunctory comment, Huang Ban Cheng left the private room with the two waiters.
Murderous intent seethed in Zhao Hai’s eyes, as if Huang Ban Cheng was already a dead man in his sight.
“Young Master, this fat Huang doesn’t wish to cooperate. What should we do? Should we teach him a lesson?”
Zhao Hai shook his head, “There’s no need to fall out with this fatso right now; our main target is still the Tong Family! We must reclaim the capital that belongs to our Zhao Family in the shortest amount of time; only then will we have a chance to turn things around.”
The man beside him squinted slightly, “Young Master, what do you mean?”
Zhao Hai stood up and walked to the window, gazing distantly at Chen Yu and Tong Ya, who were setting up a stall at the street corner.
“Grab that wench!”
Several burly men beside him immediately caught on to Zhao Hai’s intention, saying in unison, “Yes.”
The hustle and bustle of the imperial capital was incomparable to Suzhou City; even at night, the place was still teeming with people.
It was said that this street would have customers until four or five in the morning.
Chen Yu, on his first day of setting up the stall, did not stay too long and left the area with Tong Ya and the pushcart around ten o’clock at night.
[System Alert: Danger!]
The moment the system alert sounded, holographic images nearby appeared instantly in Chen Yu’s mind.
He could clearly see that a dozen men armed with weapons were rapidly approaching, and among these people was Zhao Hai.
Chen Yu immediately held Tong Ya in his arms and then grabbed a handful of pebbles from the side, throwing them out.
Before the assailants could get any closer, they were struck on the shoulders by the flying stones.
Crackling sounds of bones breaking rang out one after another, and all the burly men fell almost at the same time.
