The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 55 Follow-up
Old Zhou nodded, unsure of what to do next.

Upon receiving the news last night, he immediately called the chubby receptionist to offer his help, but was refused and told not to meddle.

Old Zhou was a little angry about what he meant by meddling, but after calming down, he realized there was really nothing he could do.

The other person's child has a part-time job at the Fatou Police Station. Although the person was not taken there, with Chief Qiao there, at least it can be guaranteed that the brother unit will treat this matter fairly and impartially.

As for the news I received this morning—that the other party wouldn't accept mediation—is that even a big deal?
Old Zhou didn't intend to stop these elderly folks from doing anything. He wouldn't stop or participate in what they wanted to do, and it was no one else's business what he wanted to do.

“Zhao Wuyou is from Shibalidian, Chaoyang. Find out his ancestry for me for eighteen generations.”

After sending a message to his son, Old Zhou leisurely went to eat breakfast.

This kid better not have any friends or family members in his system, otherwise...

…………

After Zhao Xiaochui finished all the procedures, he returned to the dormitory and coaxed Liu Li to sleep. It was already broad daylight.

It was already past working hours when he sent a message asking for leave. He had no time to worry about how much of a stir this sudden leave would cause among his regular customers.

Liu Li is an honest girl. Although she has her own little schemes, she just wants to find a rich man who is good to her.

She's not a hypocrite. If a guy is nice to her, she'll be nice to him too, and then she'll leave and live her own life.

Liu Li is with him now purely because she admires his strength and seeks a sense of security.

This is something Zhao Xiaochui gradually came to understand.

She and her sisters hadn't done anything wrong, and while they weren't exactly kind, they comforted restless men every night, contributing to the city's stable development. They didn't lie or bully anyone; on the contrary, they were the ones being bullied every day.

She shouldn't be treated like that, and those girls shouldn't be bullied like that!
A surge of heat flowed to his right hand, and he gently pressed the Shenmen acupoint on Liu Li's hand until the girl's expression completely subsided and she fell into a deep sleep. Only then did Zhao Xiaochui leave the dormitory building.

Sister Hua is waiting for him.

"My lawyer has already found out that all the people who started the fight have admitted their mistakes and accepted punishment."

Hua Jie came to Zhao Xiaochui's side: "The girl who hit them is not accepting mediation, and everything has to go through the proper procedures."

"Have Sister Guoguo and the others returned from their medical check-ups?"

"They're back. I told them to go home and rest well. We won't be open for business for the next few days."

After saying this, Sister Hua hesitated for a moment: "Little Hammer, Zhao Wuyou did it on purpose. Last night, I was discussing property sales with a client, and his men overheard us. They not only threatened and scared the client away, but also..."

What else? Of course, he wanted to make unwanted advances towards Liu Li, thereby escalating the situation.

Fortunately, Liu Li didn't suffer too much damage and was protected by her sisters in time, but she was still frightened.

However, Hua Jie's words surprised Zhao Xiaochui: "Hua Jie, you're going to sell the KTV property?"

Hua Jie nodded: "I contacted Chen Guifen yesterday after receiving your message. Sister Chen is a straightforward person and agreed to let me invest in the new store. She will also let me be in charge of the new store's business."

If Sister Hua is put in charge of the new store's business, will Sister Pang really not leave the front desk?
Zhao Xiaochui nodded thoughtfully: "Sister Hua, you should go back and rest. Just do what you need to do, I'll take care of the rest."

Sister Hua nodded apologetically and handed him the lawyer's business card she had found: "I'm incompetent, so I'm entrusting the rest of the family to you."

She made phone calls all night yesterday, and all the local bullies who usually drank and laughed with her avoided her.

As a woman from out of town who failed to become the wife of a mistress, her greatest achievement is owning property and settling down in Beijing.

…………

When I arrived at the massage parlor, there was already a commotion at the entrance.

Two or three sleazy young men stood there grinning, letting the elderly folks rant at them without saying a word.

However, being young and impetuous, there are always times when one cannot stand being treated well. At such times, one will be pulled away by others, and after a short while, a stranger will take over.

What are you here for?
They line up for massages, then pick on things and cause trouble.

The portly receptionist ignored them, simply leaning over the counter and watching as the regulars and young people fooled around. When she saw Zhao Xiaochui, she merely waved to him. Zhao Xiaochui ignored the disruptive jeers and went straight to the counter:

"Sister Pang, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

"What's the big deal!"

The chubby receptionist waved her hand dismissively, as if shooing away an annoying fly: "I'm just too lazy to bother with it."

Zhao Xiaochui nodded. Ever since Sister Hua told him that the chubby receptionist wasn't planning to go to the new store, he knew that the chubby receptionist must still have something to finish.

Even if the chubby receptionist didn't say anything, he didn't intend to bring it up because of this trouble; the chubby receptionist definitely had more important things to do.

So when the chubby receptionist sent him a message asking him to come to the massage parlor, he had already made up his mind to refuse her help.

However, the chubby receptionist didn't say anything. Instead, she handed him a file folder containing all of Zhao Wuyou's information!
Zhao Xiaochui stared blankly at the documents in the file folder, which amused the chubby receptionist.
"Do you now understand his purpose in causing trouble, and what tactics he's going to use next?"

Zhao Xiaochui nodded and then shook his head: "I have some ideas, but they're vague."

"He's after those girls. Now that they've all taken action, the losing party has to pay for the legal procedures and court fees. But do they have the money? What will happen if they don't?"

Zhao Xiaochui understood a little. If they couldn't pay back the money, they would have to work for him to pay it off. But how to get the girls to work willingly was something he couldn't guess. According to the fat receptionist, things in society are complicated, so it's better not to ask too many questions.

According to the information, Zhao Wuyou owned many businesses, including two foot massage parlors and one... in Fatou Street.

Guarantee company.

The company's risk warnings on Qichacha (a Chinese business information platform) are listed in a full four pages.

Zhao Xiaochui pointed to the company name and asked, "Sister Pang, what does this company do?"

He knew what it was all about, but he still wanted to confirm, since a company with that name could do a lot of business.

"What else can they do? Collect debts in the gray market."

Zhao Xiaochui finally understood that Lai Chenggong was just a henchman, and the culprit who had driven him to a dead end in his previous life was Zhao Wuyou.

Only he has the money, power, and time to thoroughly investigate himself!

Zhao Xiaochui's face slowly turned into a calm that seemed to destroy everything, only to be slapped on the head by the fat receptionist.

"You're so young, why are you acting like a tough guy? It's no big deal."

The chubby receptionist disliked the young man's attitude, scolded him, and handed Zhao Xiaochui a business card.

"Do you remember that woman named Jiang Ying from yesterday? She wants to get treatment as soon as possible. If you're willing to put in a word with her, this is just a matter of a phone call for her."

Zhao Xiaochui smiled again, shook his head at the chubby receptionist, and left with the document bag.

At the door, he simply nodded to the familiar customers who were offering their greetings, ignoring the young man's provocation, and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Zhao Xiaochui rushed towards a young man, but instead of attacking, he went around behind him and grabbed the small body that was rushing towards him.

"Let me go! It's not illegal for me to rape people, I'll kill them!"

A child's outburst silenced the crowd, and the young people, feeling uneasy, dared not cause any more trouble.

Zhao Xiaochui snatched the glass shards from Yangyang's hand, and with a surge of heat, used them to stop the bleeding from the child's finger before taking them back to the fat receptionist for bandaging.

"Yangyang, I'm giving you a task."

Zhao Xiaochui used his right hand to massage the Shenmen acupoint on the child's other hand:
"Try to recall your mother's details, her name, her contact information, and tell me when you remember."

Helping the child while also causing trouble for Lai Chenggong is something Zhao Xiaochui is willing to do.

"Good~"

The child let Zhao Xiaochui massage him, and seeing the sweat on his forehead, he gradually calmed down and nodded in agreement.
