Chapter 91 - Pursuit on a Rainy Night

Chapter 91: Pursuit on a Rainy Night

After Xu Qinglang translated the last part of the old woman’s speech, the crowd, who had been extremely touched, were dumbfounded.

Damn.

What happened to the story of me being filial to my children?

Why was there such a reversal?

Zhou Ze clapped his hands and asked, “Are you done eating?”

In other words,

After eating, it was time to set off.

The old woman shyly put down her chopsticks and said,

“I don’t know why I came here. I didn’t want to go down, I wanted to…”

Zhou Ze looked at her silently.

A smile appeared on his face.

Customer comes first.

Customers must listen with a smile.

The old woman trembled with fear.

He immediately said:

“I think I should go down earlier.”

Zhou Ze felt that he should put up a few slogans in this small room:

If he confessed, he would be lenient; if he resisted, he would be strict.

It seemed a little too serious.

Reform and become human again.

These thoughts could only make him smile knowingly. Zhou Ze stood up and opened the Door to Hell. The old woman was still hesitating, but Zhou Ze grabbed her shoulder and threw her into it.

Just like that,

The first order of the new restaurant was completed.

Next, Zhou Ze bent down to look under the table and saw a small stack of notes.

“Do you think it’s more than before?” Xu Qinglang urged.

“There seems to be more,” Zhou Ze confirmed.

“That means this method is feasible. Like I said, the profit margin for additional services is the biggest. Can we get other projects?”

Even though Xu Qinglang owned more than twenty houses, his desire to earn money remained the same.

No one would complain about having too much money.

“A massage? Or spa?” Zhou Ze laughed.

“That’s too much.” Xu Qinglang frowned.

“Nowadays, some funeral parlors have this kind of service. It’s a spa massage for the dead. I’ve seen it before. It’s inside a glass cubicle, and the family stands outside to watch. The technician is inside massaging the body while trimming the nails.

“You’re disgusting.” Xu Qinglang looked like he could not stand her anymore. He turned around and started to clear the table.

Actually, these dishes did not move at all. At least, they did not look like they had moved at all. However, these dishes had to be thrown away.

If it was a family offering food or fruit to their ancestors, they could still eat it after the ceremony. After all, it was something that their ancestors had eaten. It was not a big deal for everyone to eat a bowl of food together.

However, Xu Qinglang was not related to the old woman, so he would not eat her leftovers.

After putting the notes into the cabinet, Zhou Ze sat back on the chair.

Swing forward.

Swing backwards.

He liked this kind of satisfaction and also enjoyed this kind of leisure.

Bai Yingying went upstairs to play on the computer while the old Daoist priest and Monkey went up to watch television. Xu Qinglang also went up to rest.

Because of this, Zhou Ze was the only boss left on the first floor.

Holding the phone, he flipped through the news. It started to rain without him realizing it. The rain was still heavy, and it turned from sparse to majestic.

In this season, it could really rain at any time.

He picked up the glass and took a sip of water. When Zhou Ze finally regained his senses and looked up again, he realized that there was a row of people standing in front of his bookstore.

Yo

Why is business so good today?

This was the first night that the new store opened. If it was like this in the future, Zhou Ze felt that not only would he be able to repay the money he owed his maid, he would also be able to buy a good car.

Well, it was just that Xu Le didn’t even have a driver’s license. He had to get one himself.

When he reached the door, Zhou Ze was stunned. The people standing outside were not people, but rows of clothes.

The people who were selling their clothes outside moved their stalls to the entrance of their shops to avoid the rain. Due to some preconceived notions, Zhou Ze had mistaken them for ghosts.

He opened the door.

Two young girls stood outside the door. They looked to be in their early twenties, and they both had a wallet on their waists. Their hair was tied into a ponytail, and they looked very experienced.

“Boss, I’m sorry. I’m blocking your way of doing business. We’ll leave immediately when the rain lessens. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” A girl bowed and apologized to Zhou Ze.

“Boss, do you have coffee? Let’s buy two cups of coffee.” The other girl became more active. If she went to buy two cups of coffee, they would be too embarrassed to chase her away.

“It’s fine. You can leave after the rain stops.”

Zhou Ze was not so unreasonable. Plus, he could still enter his business with a metal plate blocking the customers.

“Thank you, boss.”

“Thank you, boss.”

The two girls thanked Zhou Ze again.

Zhou Ze returned to his bar. The upgraded bar was indeed much more comfortable than the previous counter. The surround sound system was on, and soft music was playing.

After about fifteen minutes, the rain did not stop. A girl pushed open the door and walked in. She was one of the two girls who had sold clothes earlier.

The girl walked to the bookshelf and chose a few fashion magazines. Then, she walked to Zhou Ze and prepared to pay.

“Forty-eight.” Zhou Ze looked at the price and said, “Give it fifty, don’t bother.”

“Okay.”

The girl answered and handed a fifty-yuan note to Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze accepted the money.

After a while,

The girl was stunned.

It seemed

What was wrong?

Zhou Ze continued to lean against the chair, and the girl did not dwell on the two yuan issue anymore. Instead, she took the book and sat down on the sofa in the shop.

One of her friends was looking at the stall while she used a white notebook to copy the clothes on the magazine.

Zhou Ze got up and poured a glass of orange juice for her.

“It’s free,” Zhou Ze said.

“Oh, thank you, boss.”

“Learning design?” Zhou Ze asked.

“Yes, we’re students from Tongcheng University.”

“It’s not bad for university students to set up their stalls.”

Zhou Ze praised him. He was not a strange uncle with ulterior motives, so he did not continue the conversation. However, when he reached the entrance of the shop, Zhou Ze suddenly saw the girl who had stayed outside to take care of the clothes talking to a man in black.

There were several people standing behind the man. They seemed to be shivering in the rain, but even so, they did not know how to hide under the eaves.

Zhou Ze pushed open the door and walked over.

The man in black looked up, saw Zhou Ze, and immediately lowered his head.

The few people behind him, who were wearing thin clothes, suddenly became timid and did not dare to meet Zhou Ze’s gaze.

Zhou Ze walked to the man in black. He was wearing a hat, and half of his face was hidden inside. Then, Zhou Ze turned his head and saw the girl who handed him the clothes with a blank expression and a confused gaze. Moreover, the money she had just received was also a stack of old and worn-out hell coins.

“That’s too much,” Zhou Ze said.

“We are all lonely souls. We were on our way back to our hometown, but on a rainy day, we don’t have any clothes on. It’s really cold. Please forgive us.”

“Lone and wild ghost, go to hell.”

Zhou Ze’s attitude was very stiff. It was obvious that he did not intend to negotiate.

What a joke.

A lonely soul was also an achievement!

Boss Zhou was preparing to boost his sales. Even a mosquito’s leg was meat. He would not let it go.

It seemed like he had made the right choice to switch shops. It was going to be a lively night.

The man in black slowly raised his head, revealing his scarred face. He said in a deep voice,

“Are you not planning to negotiate?”

“What do we have to discuss?”

Zhou Ze reached out and grabbed the girl’s shoulder, pulling her back. Then, he took a step forward and stood in front of the man in black.

He extended his hand.

He gently poked the man’s chest.

“You can try making up a pitiful story to soften my heart.

Oh no.

Sorry, I forgot.

My conscience has been eaten by myself for now. ”

“After I bring them back to my hometown, I will bring them back to hell. You can rest assured about this!”

Although the man in black’s face was covered in wounds, his words were powerful and resonating. He was like the leader of this group of brats.

“Do I have to buy a plane ticket to go home with you? Sorry, I’m not free.”

Zhou Ze’s fingernails grew out.

Black smoke slowly swirled out.

At that moment, the girl who was sitting inside the shop raised her head to look outside. She only saw her friend and the boss chatting, and she did not see anything else that she should not have seen.

“I cannot hand them over to you now. I have to bring them back first!”

The man in black charged at Zhou Ze aggressively!

But the next second,

Zhou Ze only shook his arm lightly.

The man in black was sent flying. The sharpness of his nails made his soul unsteady.

“Hehe.”

Zhou Ze chuckled.

An ordinary ghost.

He actually dared to take the initiative to attack him, this damned servant.

The man in black charged forward again, but without exception, he was once again sent flying by Zhou Ze.

This time, the few ghosts who were standing there in fear immediately started to become unstable.

Zhou Ze originally thought that they would come up together to help Boss fight. This was called loyalty.

Or,

The ghosts quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Although pleading did not have much effect.

However, they actually turned around and pounced at the black figure whose soul had become blurry after being sent flying twice by Zhou Ze.

They were furious, and they started to tear at the black shadow.

Zhou Ze stood at the side and looked at the joke.

“Looks like your underlings have been squeezed dry by you.”

Even though the man in black was being bitten, he did not scream. At the same time, he refuted seriously,

“They are my prisoners. We died in a car accident together.

But even if he died,

I will also bring them to the entrance of the Public Security Bureau where the crime took place! “
