Chapter 905: The Lin Family is a Wolf's Den
"We can choose not to ask, but can you guarantee that there are no spies among them?" The man's tone was aggressive, and he put a big hat on Lin Zongjie's head mercilessly.
When Lin Zongjie heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he laughed out loud in anger.
He strode forward, narrowed his eyes, stared at the other person, and cursed: "I didn't want to cause any trouble today, so don't be so shameless!"
Lin Zongjie suddenly reached out and slapped the man hard on the face twice.
Although these two blows were not severe, they were full of warnings.
He lowered his voice and said to the man fiercely, "If you want me to kill you, just say it! I'll satisfy you right now! Not to mention you, even if your boss Chen stood in front of me right now, he wouldn't dare to be as arrogant as you!"
The man was obviously frightened by Lin Zongjie's momentum. His face turned pale in an instant and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He secretly groaned in his heart. Lin Zongjie was a ruthless character. He was punished to guard the city gate because he had killed the captain of their other team.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the person behind the man rushed forward and grabbed the corner of the man's clothes tightly.
He lowered his voice and said anxiously, "Boss, please don't be impulsive! These soldiers are just unreasonable scoundrels. We don't need to bother with them."
"Look, didn't Zhang Qiming get beaten to death by them accidentally just because he said a few extra words and upset them?"
As he spoke, he secretly observed the man's expression and saw that the man's face was still gloomy.
He quickly continued, "Their Brigadier General Lin came forward to compensate them for forty dollars and sent the perpetrator to guard the city gate, and the matter was settled."
"A life is worth over forty dollars. He's a powerful man. We ordinary people can't afford to offend him!"
"We only have one life. There's no need to go head-to-head with rich and powerful people like them. We'll be the ones who suffer the consequences!"
The man's anger subsided a little after hearing his subordinate's words.
With a dark face, he walked up the steps handed to him by his men, snorted coldly, turned around and left without looking back.
Lin Zongjie watched the scene coldly. After the man left, his gaze slowly fell on the man who spoke.
The man was short, with a wretched face and a pair of triangular eyes that rolled around. He didn't look like a good person.
Lin Zongjie raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and then turned away as if nothing had happened.
He bit a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, sat back in the shade leisurely, and continued to eat his breakfast.
However, his heart was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
He wondered to himself, who could be so bold as to attack his uncle?
Are they my eldest brother's enemies, or are they the spies who want to use my uncle's affairs to deal with my eldest brother?
How did his uncle escape from the exploding car? This series of questions swirled in his mind.
At the other end of the road, after Jiang Jiyun hid Xiao Cui, he sat steadily on the ox cart, asking passers-by along the way, and headed towards the Fugui Restaurant.
When their ox cart finally arrived at the door of the restaurant, before Jiang Jiyun and others could get off, they were ruthlessly driven away by the waiter who rushed out.
Xiao Wei hurriedly explained, "Captain Lin, who's guarding the city gate, asked us to bring the wine. He also specifically told us to look for Butler Zhao."
Hearing Xiao Wei's words, the waiter stopped driving him away and quickly remembered that Master Jie from the side branch seemed to have made a mistake and was punished by his eldest master to guard the city gate.
"Were you recommended by Master Jie?" The waiter looked at the dark-skinned people in front of him suspiciously, muttering to himself.
It is midsummer now, the sun is scorching and the heat is unbearable.
Not only were Jiang Wenming and the others tanned, but even Jiang Jiyun's originally fair and tender face had shed several layers of skin under the scorching sun, and now it had turned into a black coal ball.
Jiang Wenming whispered, "And Master Zhao Qin, he asked us to find his father, saying that his family wanted the wine."
The waiter believed it as soon as he heard Zhao Qin's name. That was the youngest son of housekeeper Zhao. The child was naughty and did all kinds of mischief. He hadn't been seen much in the past two days since Master Lin had the accident.
"Please wait a moment, I'll go ask the manager." After saying that, he turned and walked into the restaurant.
The manager who had just come to work heard what the waiter said, so he went to the office and called housekeeper Zhao.
After receiving the call, Butler Zhao, who was arranging the affairs of the master family in the mansion, pretended to be calm and said, "I'll be right over. Xiaoqin is talking nonsense, and I have to cover for him. Can he interfere with the business?"
When the manager heard that Butler Zhao was coming soon, he asked someone to take Jiang Wenming and the others to the backyard to wait for a while.
Jiang Jiyun looked at the tea and cakes brought by the waiter. She reached out and took a nice-looking one and took a bite. "Huh? Why is this cake sour and sweet?"
Jiang Wenming took a bite and said, "It tastes pretty good. Every place has its own specialties. You only like sweet things, so be careful of cavities!"
After waiting for a while, the three of them saw an old man who looked very similar to Zhao Qinchang walking towards them.
"Butler Zhao!" Jiang Wenming quickly stood up.
Butler Zhao nodded slightly, and then ordered his men to check the wine.
After his men took the order and left, he smiled with a friendly look and warmly invited them to his office for a detailed discussion.
Xiao Wei and Jiang Jiyun were guarding the office door. With them around, no one who wanted to get close could come forward.
Both of them noticed a woman cleaning and a waiter not far away, and they would steal glances over from time to time.
Jiang Jiyun lowered his voice and said to Xiao Wei, "Brother Xiao Wei, look at those two people, they are always sneaking around looking at us."
"If we weren't here, do you think they would just stick to the door and eavesdrop?" After saying that, she sat down on the ground at the door, still chewing something in her mouth, but her eyes were observing the movements around her.
Xiao Wei's eyes seemed to casually sweep over the two people, but in fact he had already taken in their every move.
He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and replied softly, "These two people are not simple. They both have a certain foundation in martial arts. Look at their footsteps, they are almost inaudible. This Lin family has become a den of wolves now!"
Jiang Jiyun frowned and said, "Do we really need to get involved in this mess?"
"Brother Yuan has gone to contact our people. You'll know the details when he gets back." Xiao Wei said, looking at the two people lingering at the stairs.
