Which way to go is the road?

The internet cafe across the street opened as scheduled, with a grand opening ceremony. Red flags were waving and drums were beating. In addition to the ribbon-cutting and firecrackers, a lion dance troupe was hired to perform. After that, there was a swimsuit catwalk show, all held in the open air in front of "Eden".

The college students have just returned to school, and classes are basically scheduled to start in the next two days. Today, they happened to have nothing to do, and when they heard about this eye-catching opening event, which included three days of free internet access, they all rushed over to take advantage of the deal and watch the excitement!

The "Garden of Eden" was packed with people and looked unusually lively.

Xiang Fei, Qian Luomei, and Lao You stood on the rooftop looking down at the situation opposite. Qian Luomei stood between the two, her eyes flashing with disdain.

"Wow, this is quite a spectacle! I didn't expect such a grand opening. Xiang Fei, Lao You, it seems our opponent is a wealthy landowner with plenty of money to spare!"

"Heh, in the old rural society, being a landlord wasn't easy. There were plenty of landlords who squandered their fortunes on eating, drinking, gambling, whoring, and smoking! Anyone can throw money around to liven things up, but whether they can collect rent and preserve their wealth in the end is another matter!"

Old You struggled to understand the two men's conversation: "Can you two be a little more straightforward? This veiled comparison can be summed up with a line from the movie 'Little Soldier Zhang Ga': 'Don't be so cocky today, you'll be held accountable later!'"

The last two classic lines were spoken by Qian Luomei, Xiang Fei, and Lao You together. After they finished, the three of them laughed heartily, but they did not notice that there was a person in the crowd opposite them who was also staring at them with evil eyes and a gloomy face.

The three were still chatting idly when suddenly a muffled sound and a familiar whistle came from afar. Xiang Fei was standing facing "Eden" when he saw what was happening and quickly pulled Qian Luomei and Lao You to lie down.

As they lay down, a whistle swept overhead, soaring into the air, followed by a loud bang, and various debris rained down from the sky, carrying a strong smell of nitrate and phosphorus!

"Are you both alright?" Xiang Fei helped the two up and patted the dust and debris off their clothes.

The two patted themselves off and said they were fine. Just then, Zhang Chu ran up from downstairs, panting, and said that something had happened on the second floor!

Upon reaching the second floor, they discovered that a window had been shattered, with shards scattered all over the floor. The pungent smell made the three of them cough.

"This is outrageous! It's true that competitors are rivals, but at most it should be fair competition, right? How can they resort to such despicable tactics? Tomorrow I'll buy a few fireworks and set them off specifically at their 'Eden'!" Old You said indignantly.

"Don't do anything foolish. They know we're closed today and there are no customers. Even if there were customers, they wouldn't dare. If someone gets injured, no one can bear the responsibility! Zhang Chu, Lao You, you clean up here. Xiang Fei, you come with me!" Qian Luomei remained relatively calm in the face of trouble.

Qian Luomei went up to the attic, took a can of drink from the refrigerator and handed it to Xiang Fei. She then took another can for herself, opened it, and drank it in large gulps, using the icy coldness to calm herself down so she could think more clearly.

"Xiang Fei, what's your take on this?"

Xiang Fei placed the unopened drink on the coffee table, sat on the sofa, and thought for a while: "This was an accident!"

"What accident?"

"This matter was unexpected, and it wasn't arranged beforehand by 'Ninth Master's' side. It must have been Scarface Li Qi's own initiative. After all, it's hard for someone with a background of thuggery to act conventionally!"

"I'll go back and tell my dad to find a way to inform 'Ninth Master.' Do you think that will make Li Qi behave himself?"

"Won't!"

Why?

"He'll think we're all we know how to do is complain and that we're easy to bully. He'll become even more reckless in the future, only trying to shirk responsibility, which will make our situation even more difficult!"

"What can we do? We can't just swallow this insult!"

"No, I'll handle this! You don't need to worry about it; as the store manager, you have to do some work!"

"What would you do?"

"That's a normal procedure. They broke our window, so of course we have to come and demand an explanation!"

"I'll go with you. I want to see what that bastard Li Qi is up to!"

"No need. You're giving Li Qi too much credit. For a guy like him who's all bravado and no strategy, I'm more than enough. Don't worry, if I fail to get justice, I'll quit being the store manager!"

Seeing Xiang Fei's confident demeanor, Qian Luomei couldn't help but express her doubts, but she wanted to continue testing Xiang Fei's abilities, so she agreed to his request to go to the meeting alone.

Xiang Fei didn't set off immediately. Instead, he called Du Xinpeng, wondering how the guy's "spy" mission was going. He hoped it would come in handy.

"Hey, Xiang Fei, is it important that you're calling at this hour?"

"Can you find me where that scarred man, Li Qi? I need to talk to him!"

"It was just here a moment ago, I wonder where it went!"

"Where are you?"

"Hey Xiang Fei, the swimsuit show is here! They've got amazing models with incredible figures and fair skin, plus a few foreign girls! And..."

Xiang Fei stared blankly, then quickly interrupted, "Stop talking, let's get down to business. Go to the shop and see if Li Qi is there. Make sure you're there, or you'll mess things up!"

"Alright, but Xiang Fei, I have something unnecessary to say!"

"Speak! What is it?"

"I don't know how important this is to you, but do you know what? You've ruined something big for me right now. I guess I'll have to wait forever for the next swimsuit show!"

Hearing Du Xinpeng's words, Xiang Fei wanted to bang his head against the wall: "Du Xinpeng, if you don't go now, I'll, as the store manager, expel you from your 'Shuiyunjian' membership and never allow you to renew it again!"

"Damn, now that he's the manager, he doesn't even recognize his own brothers anymore. All he did was go check if the boss was there! Seriously?!"

"When did Du Xinpeng become so good at this? I'm really impressed," Xiang Fei thought to himself as he laughed, which temporarily eased his tension.

After laughing, Xiang Fei went into the electrical room in the bathroom, took out a police stun gun he had bought last year, and clipped it to his belt. He might not need it, but it was just to give himself some peace of mind.

A moment later, his phone rang. Xiang Fei answered it and heard Du Xinpeng say, "I'm here. I sat at the front desk of the internet cafe for a while, and it seems I went back to the manager's office!"

"Alright, your mission is complete!"

Xiang Fei patted the stun gun on his waist, grabbed his coat, and was about to leave when Zhang Chu and Lao You ran up to him from behind.

"Brother! Where are you going?"

"Oh, I'm going to help Sister Luo Mei promote the computers. We had a lot of computers removed from the shelves, we can't just throw them away. I'll go find some buyers!"

"Why would you need a stun gun to find a buyer?" Old You said in a deep voice from behind.

Xiang Fei no longer needed to hide anything, but he didn't know what to say! So he simply said nothing and pushed the door open to leave.

"Wait, I'll go with you!"

Xiang Fei offered his stun gun to Lao You, but Lao You didn't take it. Instead, he patted his lower back and said, "I brought one!"
