The cannon fodder in the book is laughing, and the scum is slapped in the face

Chapter 183 Swear

Mr. Chen thought about it and decided that since those two people were very powerful, he would use other methods to deal with them.

He just didn't believe that the person he wanted to deal with could escape.

A few days later, Qiao Jinlan and Lu Yunxu had just finished their breakfast when the waiter knocked on their door frantically: "Sir, Sir..."

Lu Yunxu stood up and walked out to open the door: "What's the matter?"

The waiter said in a panic, "Sir, please go and have a look. Someone is looking for you."

"Okay, thank you." Lu Yunxu's unhurried response calmed the waiter's panic a little.

Could it be that this was just a misunderstanding?

However, no matter whether it is true or not, at least their inn will not be implicated.

Lu Yunxu and Qiao Jinlan walked out slowly. There were huge crowds of people outside the inn, as if all the people in the town had arrived.

The leader was a middle-aged man, probably in his thirties or forties, but his hair was already gray.

Behind him, there were several angry peers.

After Lu Yunxu and the others came out, the man stepped forward and said with a cupped hand: "My last name is Zhou, and I have some business in this town..."

"Master Zhou, I have long heard of your name." Lu Yunxu bowed in return, "I heard that the Zhou and Chen families are the two largest families in this town."

Mr. Zhou nodded slightly: "You are too polite, young friend."

"It's like this. I heard that you have something in your hand, which belongs to my missing child. I wonder if it's true?"

Mr. Zhou asked, "Where did you get that thing from?"

Lu Yunxu asked sincerely: "What is Master Zhou talking about?"

When the Zhou family members behind Master Zhou heard this, they were so excited that they wanted to take a step forward, but were stopped by Master Zhou without any expression.

The Zhou family stared at Lu Yunxu indignantly, but did not do anything else unnecessary.

Mr. Zhou said calmly: "It is a jade pendant. It is my son's personal belonging. He will not take it off casually."

Lu Yunxu shook his head: "Master Zhou, I have never seen the jade pendant you mentioned."

"Besides, we have only been here for a short time. How did you know that we have Master Ling's jade pendant?"

Mr. Zhou said, "It was an old friend who told me. However, my son has been missing for many years. Sir, can you understand my concern for him and let my people go to the inn to look for him?"

Mr. Zhou spoke politely. In fact, with the influence of their Zhou family in the town, there was no need to do so.

Lu Yunxu glanced at Qiao Jinlan, who nodded slightly. He then made way and said, "Master Zhou, please do as you please. However, there are things of my wife in there, and I hope you can find a suitable person."

Mr. Zhou bowed and said, "I'll ask the maid in the mansion to look for it. I'm really sorry to bother you two."

Following Master Zhou's words, several people who looked like servants came out, along with two maids.

Mr. Zhou ordered, "Go and look for it, but be careful not to mess up other people's things."

"Yes." The servants and the maids bowed in unison and responded.

Lu Yunxu and Qiao Jinlan just stood at the door of the inn and didn't follow him in.

Mr. Zhou asked, "Aren't you two going to go in and take a look?"

Lu Yunxu smiled: "We believe in Mr. Zhou's character. The Zhou family would never do anything like framing someone."

After listening to this, Mr. Zhou bowed to Lu Yunxu and Qiao Jinlan. Even the Zhou family members behind him seemed to be less hostile towards them.

No matter what, Lu Yunxu and Qiao Jinlan's frankness made the Zhou family have a much better impression of them.

Maybe the jade pendant was obtained by the two of them by chance.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, a servant rushed out: "Master, Master, the young master's jade pendant!"

After hearing this, Mr. Zhou's face changed drastically, and the other members of the Zhou family became even more furious.

The servant handed the jade pendant to Master Zhou. Master Zhou carefully examined it and closed his eyes in pain. When he opened them again, his eyes were already bloodshot. "Gentlemen, where did you get this jade pendant?"

Lu Yunxu shook his head: "This is the first time we have seen this jade pendant today."

"Ridiculous! Could it be that my Zhou family is framing you?" Someone behind Mr. Zhou couldn't help but scold.

"Shut up." Master Zhou scolded softly, then looked at Lu Yunxu.

Lu Yunxu smiled and said, "Just because the Zhou family didn't frame us doesn't mean that others won't frame us, for example... the Chen family."

Mr. Zhou's eyes flickered.

"Mr. Zhou, don't you find it strange that there is not a single member of the Chen family around despite such a big gathering?" Qiao Jinlan asked with a smile.

"The Zhou and Chen families are the two major forces in the town. Even Master Zhou has come out to investigate. With such a big commotion, why doesn't the Chen family send someone to investigate?"

Before Mr. Zhou could say anything, Mr. Chen came over and sighed helplessly: "Madam, even if I have some grudges against you, you can't frame my Chen family like this, right?"

Master Chen came over and bowed to Master Zhou, saying, "Brother Zhou, this lady's uncle was once a servant in my house."

"She may feel that her uncle working in my house is somewhat...uncomfortable, so she holds a grudge against me."

"But, Madam, if we hadn't rescued your uncle and taken him in as a servant, he would have died long ago."

"You are... repaying kindness with enmity, right?"

Someone nearby said indignantly: "That's too much!"

"Who is this?"

Mr. Chen has a good reputation in the town. His son is a little arrogant, but not too much.

The residents of the town naturally believed in Mr. Chen.

Qiao Jinlan smiled and said slowly, "Master Zhou, is your son extremely talented?"

"Especially in terms of being able to sense the gods, which is far beyond that of ordinary people?"

Mr. Zhou nodded: "This is something everyone in town knows."

"In recent years, the Zhou family is not as prosperous as it used to be, especially the Chen family has begun to catch up with the Zhou family and is about to compete with them." Qiao Jinlan continued.

"Mr. Zhou, have you ever thought about why the Chen family, which was once mediocre, has suddenly risen in the past decade or so?" Qiao Jinlan asked with a smile.

Mr. Zhou frowned slightly.

Mr. Chen sighed heavily: "Madam, you are going too far."

"Could it be that our Chen family is still unable to develop? Why, in your eyes, is everything immutable?"

Mr. Chen's words made Qiao Jinlan smile even more: "Mr. Chen, do you dare to take a gamble?"

"As long as it's not your Chen family's own talent, you will get retribution."

"Over the years, if you have a talent that does not belong to you but was taken away from others, you will have to reset everything to zero."

"Do you dare to swear? Swear to God."

Mr. Chen's face changed and looked very ugly: "Madam, you are going too far!"
