Chapter 97

Never Let It Go

Seeing Zhao Sande's tearful and panicked state, Chen Huan felt only disgust and contempt.

He raised his hand and gently patted Zhao Sande's head twice. "Alright, seeing how sincerely you admitted your mistake, I won't tell Ma Yanping about what happened today."

After saying that, Chen Huan turned around and went downstairs.

He knew that Zhao Sande would definitely not dare to leak the news.

Therefore, his revenge will remain a secret for the time being, so that Ma Yanping will not be able to prepare in advance.

As for Ma Sande, Chen Huan didn't actually let him off the hook either.

Chen Huan had secretly tampered with the pats on his head earlier.

He secretly sent a portion of his true energy into Ma Sande's brain blood vessels.

Based on his physique, that ball of true energy will explode in about a week.

At that time, Ma Sande will die a violent death, and no one will suspect Chen Huan.

Those who harmed my brother will not be spared; no one will be spared.

Without lingering, Chen Huan took advantage of the fact that no one around him was paying attention and returned the way he came, leaving the construction site.

"Chen Huan, how are you?"

"I was so worried just now." Zhao Jingjing swung her long legs and ran over quickly.

He looked Chen Huan up and down, his concern and worry in his eyes were natural and genuine.

Chen Huan smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just went in for a look around."

"I'll take you out to eat."

"You're more familiar with the county town, so let's choose a more upscale one. Don't be shy with me."

Zhao Jingjing snorted, "You don't need to tell me. I'm definitely going to rip you off and I won't hold back."

Zhao Jingjing was indeed very familiar with the county town. A moment later, she parked the pickup truck in front of a restaurant that looked quite impressive.

"Fu Man Lou, that's a pretty good name." Chen Huan got out of the car and looked at the gilded signboard above the entrance.

It's hard not to feel a little sad at this moment.

In fact, he and his brother had passed by this place many times before.

But they never dared to even dream of coming in to spend money.

After all, their combined wages from a hard day's work wouldn't even cover two hot dishes here.

Even more tragically, despite all that hard work and frugality, he didn't receive a single penny of his salary in the end, and instead lost his life.

  

"Chen Huan, what are you spacing out for? Are you regretting it and feeling bad about the money?" Zhao Jingjing teased, giving him a nudge.

Chen Huan snapped out of her thoughts, "I'm afraid I'll stuff you to death."

It was lunchtime, and the lobby on the first floor was packed with people.

"We're a bit late today, there's no room left." Zhao Jingjing frowned and looked around, her expression quite disappointed.

"This restaurant has several floors, why don't we just go up and take a look?" Chen Huan walked straight towards the stairwell.

Zhao Jingjing tugged at him, "The rooms upstairs are all private rooms and VIP seats."

"If the two of us go up there, they definitely won't be happy."

Chen Huan didn't care. "You're just worried that we don't have many people and can't spend too much. It's okay, just order a few more dishes. If that's not enough, we can pay for a private room."

Zhao Jingjing immediately smiled, walked over and took Chen Huan's arm, "Boss Chen is so generous. I feel more and more that working with you is a promising career path."

Once we got to the second floor, we explained the situation to the staff and said we were willing to pay for the private room. They were happy to accommodate us.

He smiled and said, "You two have come at just the right time. The restaurant is packed today, and all the private rooms upstairs are booked. This is the only one left."

As he spoke, he walked over and opened the door to the private room.

The interior is quite unique and upscale.

Zhao Jingjing took Chen Huan's arm and excitedly headed inside.

However, at this moment, someone suddenly rushed over from the stairwell, blocked Zhao Jingjing with his arm, and then rushed into the private room first.

"What's wrong with you? Are you a dog? Don't you know any manners?" Chen Huan immediately reprimanded the other person for trying to take over the space.

The person trying to grab a spot was a young man in his early twenties. He was dressed quite well, but he was a bit thin and had a shifty look in his eyes.

The other person was furious after being insulted, but seeing the fierce look in Chen Huan's eyes, he immediately retorted sarcastically, "Country bumpkins really have no manners, all they know is cursing."

"Opportunities are earned, not earned. Whose fault is it that you're slow?"

The waiter, showing a degree of righteousness, frowned and said, "Sir, these two were the ones who wanted this private room first. Would you please wait a moment?"

The young man rolled his eyes and said rudely to the waiter, "Is that even human language you're talking about?"

"Just because he likes someone doesn't mean they're his. Well, I might like you too. Will you come with me after work?"

The waitress's face flushed red. Although she was angry, she didn't dare to do anything and could only keep quiet.

The young man immediately became smug and said in a commanding tone, "Hurry up and prepare the tableware; there are eight of us."

"Let me tell you, the person treating us today isn't just anyone, so the expenses will be considerable."

"If you don't serve me well, I'll complain about you and make you lose your job!"

The waitress looked at Chen Huan with a helpless expression and showed an apologetic look.

Chen Huan waved his hand, "It's nothing, you go ahead and do your work."

The waitress seemed relieved and quickly left.

The young man who came over to grab a spot glanced at Chen Huan and said arrogantly, "That's right, knowing when to back down is the wise thing to do."

"The two of you, looking so poor, how can you afford this? You're just ruining their business."

He thought that Chen Huan would immediately become scared and leave once he heard that there were many people behind him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Huan grabbed him by the collar and threw him out. He staggered all the way to the stairwell and almost fell headfirst down.

"Trash, you have to fight with others for food, do you really think you're a dog?" Chen Huan cursed disdainfully.

Just then, someone came up the stairs and reached out to catch the swaying young man.

"What's wrong?" someone asked.

"That brat caused trouble and stole our private room!" The young man's face flushed red as he turned around and angrily pointed at Chen Huan.

"The guilty party is accusing the innocent first! How shameless!" Zhao Jingjing couldn't help but curse.

At this moment, several young faces appeared one after another on the stairs, both men and women, all dressed in fashionable and stylish clothes.

Judging from their appearance, they were all companions of that young man, and there were indeed quite a few of them.

However, Chen Huan didn't care.

If it really came down to a fight, he wouldn't even consider ten or eight men a threat.

But at that moment, Zhao Jingjing suddenly seemed to see something terrifying and immediately turned around.

Then he quietly reached out and tugged at Chen Huan.

He whispered, "Don't argue with them, let's go quickly. I know another restaurant nearby that's pretty good too."
