The bodyguards beside Zhang Delai saw Master Niu step forward and their eyes widened with anger, looking as if they wanted to attack directly.
However, Zhang Delai raised his hand and stopped everyone.
Then, he looked at Master Niu with a cold smile and shook his head, saying, "Heh heh, Master Niu, you're wrong. I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm here to pay respects to Old Master Chen. Regardless, I've been involved in the businesses on this street for a long time, and my cooperation with Old Chen has been for a year. He has passed away, so of course I have to come and see."
Although Zhang Delai claimed to be there to pay respects, there was no trace of grief in his smile.
He even looked at Chen Jiao with a hint of schadenfreude, his eyes full of mockery.
This demeanor and action made Master Niu's temper flare up, and veins bulged on his forehead!
"Boss Zhang, let's be frank. You previously wanted to invest and rebuild this place. This matter was discussed with Old Master Chen for half a year. In the past month, our business hasn't been good, and people have been coming to cause trouble every few days. A large portion of our regular customers have left. I don't believe you have nothing to do with this!"
As Master Niu finished speaking, everyone around couldn't help but glare at Zhang Delai.
Some even rushed forward, glaring at Zhang Delai and saying, "Half a year ago, you sold us a large amount of monster materials at a low price. At the time, we thought you were looking out for us. But then incidents kept happening, causing us so much business loss, do you know that?"
"Exactly! Later, we were forced to sell those monster materials at a low price. For this reason alone, Old Master Chen covered our rent for the past six months!"
When someone said this, Master Niu's expression darkened, and he immediately reached out to stop them!
Seeing this, the expressions of several people around also changed.
However, Zhang Delai heard these words clearly.
Zhang Delai's eyes lit up, and then he began to clap for everyone.
*Clap, clap!*
"Heh heh, so it seems this place really doesn't belong to Old Man Chen anymore. Old Man Chen was still responsible for collecting your rent. What? Why isn't the boss behind this showing up? I said the price I offered was high enough, but Old Man Chen just wouldn't agree. So it turns out this place barely has anything to do with him!"
Zhang Delai said this with a cold laugh, having gotten the answer he wanted.
At the same time, he had also completely burned all bridges.
In his words, he had admitted to everything that had happened here in the past.
Of course, even if he hadn't admitted it, everyone already knew that Zhang Delai was involved in all of it!
"It was you, you killed my grandfather! You also captured Wang Yuan, what exactly do you want?!"
Chen Jiao's face was flushed red at this moment, wishing she could tear Zhang Delai apart and devour him!
"Heh heh, what do I want? Don't you know best? Heh heh, you didn't tell your husband about what happened before, and you didn't let me say anything. What? Now that I've sent him away, won't you be able to live a life of luxury with me?"
Zhang Delai sneered, looking at Chen Jiao with extreme mockery.
His words were filled with lewdness!
Chen Jiao's face suddenly changed, and she almost collapsed. Tears streamed down her face as she avoided everyone's gaze. At this moment, Chen Jiao felt as if she had fallen into an eternal abyss.
Everyone around was stunned for a moment.
Seeing Chen Jiao's reaction and recalling Zhang Delai's words, if they still didn't understand what was going on, they would truly be fools! xxs1
Chen Jiao grew up on this street, just like Wang Yuan. They were all watched over by these neighbors as they grew up!
The thought of Chen Jiao suffering such great humiliation made everyone's eyes turn red.
If Old Master Chen hadn't stopped them before, telling them that Zhang Delai was powerful and influential, and that they shouldn't provoke him, they would have sought justice long ago.
Now that Old Master Chen was dead, and Zhang Delai was still bullying them, it naturally drove everyone to a frenzy.
Master Niu glared at Chen Jiao and asked, "Jiao Jiao, what did this scoundrel do to you? Tell us! Uncle Niu will get justice for you!"
"Yes, Jiao Jiao, don't be afraid. No matter what happens, we'll back you up!"
"That's right, even if your grandfather is dead, you're still someone we watched grow up. We will never let you be wronged!"
"Child, if you have something to say, just say it quickly! Oh, you're making me anxious! Did this scoundrel harass you? I remember hearing Old Master Chen smashing things in a rage the night before last. Did he know about this!?"
As more and more people spoke, and seeing the smug cold smile on Zhang Delai's face, he even licked his lips at Chen Jiao, as if savoring her taste.
Master Niu's eyes immediately turned red!
"Zhang, you bastard, if you dare to defile my niece Jiao Jiao, today I'll show you what it means for the barefoot to not fear the shod! I'll kill you!"
Master Niu roared and waved his arms!
Instantly, several red-eyed burly men rushed out, some even drawing their concealed weapons.
Seeing this, Zhang Delai frowned slightly. He had been bullying these people for more than half a year and had never seen them so enraged. He didn't expect them to actually dare to fight him to the death today.
However, how could Zhang Delai possibly take these common merchants seriously?
He sneered and shook his head, "You court death. It seems you want to join that cuckolded Wang Yuan in the clink!"
As Zhang Delai's chilling voice fell.
Chen Jiao, who had gradually regained her senses with the comfort of the crowd, suddenly cried out, "Uncle Niu, don't! Uncles and elders, don't be impulsive! If you do this, you'll fall into his trap! I... it's all my fault, blame me, don't worry about me anymore, you can't get arrested!"
Chen Jiao's voice was hoarse, and she finally managed to stop the red-eyed Master Niu and the others.
"Scoundrel, you colluded with those guards and deliberately caused trouble! This isn't over, Zhang Delai! You just wait for me!"
Master Niu was also a sensible person, but he was driven mad by anger. While speaking, he grabbed the butcher knife in his hand and prepared to leave!
Clearly, he intended to go back and prepare to deal with Zhang Delai again.
Master Niu wanted to ensure Zhang Delai wouldn't leave this street today!
It was also to slightly reassure Chen Jiao.
However, Master Niu was thinking too naively.
A person like Zhang Delai could not tolerate being threatened and insulted by a butcher.
Immediately, Zhang Delai sneered and reached out to stop Master Niu!
"Heh heh, what? You want to call people and hit me from behind? Do you think things will be that simple? You barefoot scum, do you think I'll take you seriously? Just because you're not making a move now doesn't mean I won't!"
Zhang Delai sneered and waved to the people beside him: "Kill him! Make sure everyone around watches. This is the consequence of going against Zhang Delai!"
As his words fell, Zhang Delai took a step back.
Everyone around, however, stared with wide eyes, panting like bulls!
