Chapter 929: The sky has collapsed, Chen Sheng is about to shatter

~4 min read 672 words

"Huh?"

Green Radish had just picked up a steaming bun, but the next second, as if it were burning her hand, she hurriedly put it back down.

Her pair of beautiful eyes stared fixedly at Gao Yang.

"Young Master, didn't you say that this Dragon Gate Inn has stood here for decades, and wouldn't use such low-level methods?"

"Why can't this be eaten?"

Green Radish asked cautiously, the caution in her beautiful eyes almost overflowing.

She might ignore others' well-intentioned advice, but this was a warning from Gao Yang; she had to listen to it one hundred percent.

Shangguan Wan'er also looked full of caution.

Gao Yang saw the expression on Green Radish's face and said indifferently.

"Merchants value profit, putting profit above all else. The meat in these buns isn't necessarily fresh, and even if it is fresh, it isn't necessarily good. If there is some dead pig meat in the filling, or if it's mixed with some rat meat, you wouldn't be able to tell."

Upon hearing this, Green Radish felt as if she were falling apart.

Dead pig meat, rat meat!

These were things she was extremely afraid of.

Wu Guang, standing to the side, chuckled and said, "My Lord's words are somewhat conservative."

"Miss Green Radish, I used to be a bandit leader; the Young Master's meaning goes far beyond just that."

As he spoke, the scar on his face twitched, looking extremely terrifying.

"Beyond just that?"

Green Radish's pure face turned even paler.

At this moment, even Shangguan Wan'er's complexion turned ugly.

"Gao Yang, isn't that going too far?"

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, staring at Gao Yang.

Gao Yang chuckled, "Going too far?"

"Greed is endless, especially among black-hearted merchants. Some inflate prices to rake in wealth under the guise of luxury goods, while others stop at nothing, squeezing every bit of value to lower costs!"

"If one day some method of adulteration is born, does Lady Shangguan believe that the sour and spicy vermicelli you love to eat could also contain not a single bit of starch?"

"If this weren't a black shop, although I wouldn't eat it, I wouldn't say such things. But if it is truly as I suspect, and they even dare to kill for money, then what is there that they wouldn't dare to do?"

"Since ancient times, profit moves the heart. Saving a penny here and there—all unscrupulous merchants are like this!"

Once these words were spoken.

Green Radish and Shangguan Wan'er fell silent.

Both women looked at the buns on the table, and the aroma seemed to become nauseating.

"Young Master, I'm suddenly not hungry."

"Let's just eat the dry rations; the dry rations are quite tasty."

Green Radish was full of refusal, shaking her head at Gao Yang.

Gao Yang didn't want to talk much more about this topic either, so he didn't continue speaking.

On the contrary, he developed a great curiosity about the mastermind behind this Dragon Gate Inn.

A black shop, no matter how hidden its methods or how few times it acts, can stand for decades without falling—that is not simple!

Especially since not far from the Dragon Gate Inn is a small village. Even if there aren't many villagers, they deal with it every day; it's impossible for them to know nothing at all.

Did I guess wrong?

Or is the truth behind this shocking?

In the room, they were speechless. Green Radish and Shangguan Wan'er were disgusted, while Wu Guang and Zhao Da were silently gnawing on dry rations.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the room.

"Young Master, I'm back."

Chen Sheng shouted.

"Enter!"

Subsequently, Chen Sheng pushed open the door.

"Young Master, the bun skins here are thin and the filling is plentiful; it's worthy of being the shop's signature. I went straight to the kitchen, randomly took a few, and tasted them."

Chen Sheng walked in with a face full of smiles.

But following his words, the entire room seemed to fall silent. ===== CHAPTER 931 =====
