Chapter 170: He's as bold as having eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gall

Boss Liu's driver came over.

He lowered his voice and asked: "Boss, should we call the police?"

Seeing Li Jiaci's calm attitude,

Boss Liu also felt uneasy.

After thinking it over, he loosened Li Jiaci's collar and said coldly: "I'll talk to this guy first; if things aren't right, you can call the police!"

"Got it!"

The driver nodded.

Li Jiaci smiled and made a gesturing invitation.

Regarding the earlier offense, he didn't take it to heart at all.

Boss Liu snorted.

"You'd better explain yourself clearly!"

"Otherwise..."

Li Jiaci didn't wait for him to finish, turning and heading straight for the office.

Seeing this, Boss Liu, though unhappy inside, still followed with a grim face.

The two entered the office.

Li Jiaci took out the tea leaves Liu Yanxi had given him and brewed a cup of tea for the other person.

Then, leaning back on the sofa, he asked: "We just met, and you outright accused me of fraud—could it be that someone put you up to this?"

"Don't you know in your heart whether you did it or not?"

Boss Liu, with a solemn face, retorted:

All that was heard was Li Jiaci chuckling.

"Hah."

"Then I'll ask more directly!"

"Who sent you here?"

Boss Liu furrowed his brows.

"It's Boss Jia of Jiaju Cheng and..."

"Another person, whom I don't know."

"But it was this person who asked him to come."

Li Jiaci could guess who this person was without hearing him finish.

"And Wang Zong, who runs the Furniture Factory, right?"

Boss Liu nodded.

He then said: "He took wood from you, hauled it back to the factory to make furniture, then shipped it to Jiaju Cheng to sell. I bought three beds he made, and just one night later they fell apart—my elderly mother fractured her waist and is now lying in the hospital awaiting surgery!"

"Ah, so that's what happened!"

Li Jiaci sighed.

Boss Liu, eyes suspicious, asked: "Do you mean you're admitting your wood has a problem?"

"What a joke!"

"My wood is the best quality around!"

"You saw the long line at the entrance yourself just now!"

"If I were doing business by fraud, could they support me like this?"

"You've been tricked by that black-hearted thing!"

Li Jiaci waved his hand and explained a few things.

He had long expected that Wang Zong wouldn't let this go so easily.

He just didn't expect the methods to be so lowly.

"I've been cheated?"

Boss Liu asked.

Li Jiaci didn't answer him, but instead pulled a termination contract from the drawer under the tea table.

With a slap, he tossed it onto Boss Liu's face.

"Take a look yourself—I terminated my contract with that Wang Zong a week ago!"

Boss Liu, half-believing, picked up the contract and examined it word by word.

While he was reviewing the contract, Li Jiaci continued speaking.

"Before we terminated, Wang Zong came every day before dawn to wait for the goods!"

"His furniture factory's daily output is fixed; the wood he takes from me is used up by the next day at the latest!"

"We haven't even seen each other all week!"

"The problematic wood couldn't possibly have come from me!"

Upon hearing this,

Boss Liu, indignant, put down the contract.

"It turns out they teamed up to swindle me!"

Li Jiaci chuckled low: "The boss of Jiaju Cheng might not even know the truth, going along with whatever Wang Zong says—after all, as long as they dump this black pot on someone, the two of them can clear their names!"

In the end, both are profiteers.

Boss Liu clenched his fists, his face grim.

"How outrageous!"

I think they've got the guts of a bear and a leopard!

Little brother, thanks for telling me all this!

Just now, I—

Li Jiaci said magnanimously: "Just clear up the misunderstanding!"

I'll go back and settle the score with them!

Liu Boss didn't even have time to sip his tea before storming off in anger.

Soon after, Zhao Chen walked into the office and asked Li Jiaci: "Brother, what exactly happened?"

That bastard Wang Zong caused his own trouble and shoved the blame onto me!

Huh?

But I've already made it clear—don't worry!

Zhao Chen's face darkened: "That bastard really ought to die—he's been picking on us every few days; back then I'd have stabbed him already!"

Li Jiaci's expression turned grim.

Still dare to bring up the past?

Brother, I was just talking!

Zhao Chen gave an embarrassed smile.

He cherishes his current peaceful, stable life.

He wishes it could stay this way forever.

How could he dare repeat the same mistake?

……

Urban area Jiaju cheng.

Jia Fengyuan had thought the matter was over, was having his subordinates entertain guests, and was preparing to close shop.

But Liu Boss's car came roaring back at that moment.

And it sped up to Jia Fengyuan in an instant.

Jia Fengyuan was so scared he nearly pissed his pants.

He let out a wail and collapsed to the ground.

The car braked sharply just a few centimeters in front of him.

Any farther forward and his head would have been smashed into pulp.

Liu Boss got out of the car.

He still slammed the car door shut hard.

He strode up to Jia Fengyuan, planted himself, and looked down asking: "Where's that guy from earlier?"

Which one?

Jia Fengyuan trembled as he tried to push himself up.

Liu Boss kicked him straight, knocking him down again.

Then he stepped on Jia Fengyuan's belly, grinding his heel into it a few times.

Which one are you talking about?

Oh… I remember… the Furniture Factory's Wang Zong!

Jia Fengyuan grimaced in pain.

Give me an hour to bring him before me!

Got it, Liu Boss!

Wait for Liu Boss to lift his foot.

Jia Fengyuan immediately crawled like a dog, using hands and feet, only daring to stand after moving three meters away.

He tremblingly pulled out his phone and dialed Wang Zong's number.

Hello, it's me!

Hurry over to Jiaju cheng!

On the phone.

Wang Zong asked warily: "What's going on?"

I uh…

Jia Fengyuan furtively glanced at Liu Boss's grim face.

He then hedged: "I've figured it out—our partnership can't fall through; I'll treat you to a meal later to make amends!"

Well, heh, you're smart to know better!

Wang Zong's tone returned to its usual smugness.

Don't dawdle!

I know, why the rush?

I've already got the food on the table—can't you not be in a hurry?

I'm on my way over to you!

Alright, hanging up!

Jia Fengyuan hung up.

Bowing low, he approached Liu Boss and said: "He's on his way!"

Liu Boss, what's the trouble this time?

Liu Boss lit a cigarette with a grim face.

Why?

You'll find out soon!

After saying that, Boss Liu turned and waved at the driver inside the car.

The driver hurriedly got out of the car.

Boss!

You can call the police now!

Understood!

The driver was about to pull out his phone.

Jia Fengyuan, frightened out of his wits, hurriedly asked: "Boss Liu, why are you calling the police all of a sudden?"

Don't panic, you're not the primary person responsible for this!

Oh... then it's fine!

Jia Fengyuan wiped his face and let out a long breath.
