My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 269: Business is Slow


Dragon Teeth specializes in handling matters that ordinary people cannot, maintaining peace in this world, while also suppressing assassin organizations like Yama Hall.

Recently, many things have happened in Yun City, attracting numerous experts, some even meeting untimely deaths, which surely would alarm the Dragon Teeth Organization.

However, Ye Guichen didn't care about these.

He used to have many dealings with Dragon Teeth; some under his command also joined Dragon Teeth and became its backbone.

Dragon Teeth had tried numerous times to recruit him, but he had always declined.

For Ye Guichen, despite the many restrictions in Dragon Teeth, nothing would compare to the freedom he currently enjoyed.

After leaving Shangri-La, Ye Guichen didn't return to Chen Group, but went straight to the snack street.

Recently, Jixiang Noodle House was undergoing renovations, and Ye Guichen was keen to see how much influence his Seven Skillful Linglong Noodles could garner, paying close attention to the matter.

However, upon arriving at the noodle house, he found the business extremely deserted; the previously bustling scene had vanished.

The shop under renovation was closed too, not a single worker in sight.

At the entrance of Jixiang Noodle House, Zhao Erdan was smoking one cigarette after another, looking dejected.

Beside him, Yu Jieyuan also looked worried.

Seeing Ye Guichen arrive, Zhao Erdan quickly stood up: "Boss, why are you here?"

Yu Jieyuan seemed afraid to face Ye Guichen, avoiding eye contact.

Ye Guichen asked: "What's going on?"

"Ah, what else could it be." Zhao Erdan sighed, pointing to the retail front renovating the Medicinal Food Restaurant: "One worker got injured, and someone spread rumors saying our Medicinal Food Restaurant isn't auspicious, that a fatal incident occurred right after renovation started, and eating here would certainly be harmful. This scared many people away."

"A fatal incident?" Ye Guichen stared at Yu Jieyuan: "Wasn't the person sent to the hospital? How did it turn fatal?"

Yu Jieyuan handled these matters; Zhao Erdan was merely his assistant.

Seeing no way to hide, Yu Jieyuan had to raise his head, ashamed: "Boss, the person is fine. Upon hearing the news, I went straight to the hospital, the person had been rescued and is out of danger now. It's clearly a false rumor."

Ye Guichen frowned: "Regardless of the rumor, why hasn't the renovation continued?"

Yu Jieyuan shook his head: "I don't know what happened; the workers suddenly said they wouldn't come today, forsaking their prior wages. When I asked them the reason, they refused to say. I'm worried about how to explain this to you."

Yu Jieyuan wanted to impress Ye Guichen, yet the situation with the Medicinal Food Restaurant left him feeling too embarrassed to face him.

Ye Guichen, feeling puzzled, was about to ask Yu Jieyuan for the renovation workers' contact numbers when he suddenly noticed the Imperial Medical Restaurant across the street, bustling with renovations and seemingly ready to open in a few days.

"Could they be the ones behind this?" Ye Guichen suspected.

Yu Jieyuan seemed to have noticed something amiss too, quickly stepping closer and whispering: "Boss, it seems the Imperial Medical Restaurant is targeting us. Should we go and question them?"

Clearly, Yu Jieyuan had spotted a problem.

Ye Guichen shook his head and sneered: "No need. We can find our own renovation workers."

Black Panther originally specialized in construction, having many renovation workers under him. Although his legs were now crippled, finding a few workers was still within his means.

However, Ye Guichen didn't want to bother Black Panther and instead directly called Li Ruoxuan.

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

Li Ruoxuan's tired voice came through: "What's up?"

"Help me arrange some workers for renovation." Ye Guichen asked bluntly.

Although he didn't know Li Ruoxuan's current situation, arranging workers was surely no problem.

Without hesitation, Li Ruoxuan agreed immediately: "Sure, tell me the location, they'll be there soon."

After speaking, Li Ruoxuan was about to hang up when Ye Guichen couldn't help but ask: "Are you okay?"

Li Ruoxuan was silent for a moment: "I'm fine. My brother will be discharged soon. Thank you."

No further words, and the call was hung up.

Ye Guichen knew some matters had to be handled by Li Ruoxuan herself, so he didn't ask more, then shook his phone and said: "The workers will arrive soon."

"Really?" Yu Jieyuan was overjoyed, quickly complimenting: "Boss, you're incredible! Honestly, I've approached many renovation companies, but strangely, as soon as they heard it was us, they immediately refused. Damn it, if someone isn't behind this, it's truly odd."

"Exactly, Boss, we mustn't swallow this anger!" Zhao Erdan said angrily.

Ye Guichen pondered, his gaze falling again on the Imperial Medical Restaurant across the street, nodding: "Alright, let's ask. If they're behind this, let's show them our strength!"

Yu Jieyuan, upon hearing this, became excited: "Great, Boss, I'll call some people over."

"No need." Ye Guichen waved his hand and walked toward the Imperial Medical Restaurant.

Yu Jieyuan and Zhao Erdan followed closely.

"It's not open yet, you can't enter!" Just as they arrived at the entrance, Ye Guichen and his companions were blocked.

This time, it was clear they knew Ye Guichen and his group were from Jixiang Noodle House, and their eyes showed hostility.

Filled with anger, Zhao Erdan grabbed the person's collar: "Call your boss out, my boss has some questions!"

"Damn, who are you to demand to see our boss!" The person glared and shouted inside: "Brothers, someone is here to cause trouble!"

In a rush!

Over ten people suddenly rushed out.

They seemed well-prepared, all holding batons.

A man with a small snake tattoo on his neck, cigarette in mouth, flicked the cigarette directly in front of Ye Guichen: "Bro, don't make trouble."

Yu Jieyuan, seeing so many people, shivered in fright.

Zhao Erdan, however, wasn't intimidated, glaring: "Did you spread the rumors to mess with us?"

The leader slapped Zhao Erdan's face twice, clearly unafraid of retaliation: "Heh, looks like you're not stupid. Since you came to us, I'll be honest with you. This street only allows one Medicinal Food Restaurant, ours. If you don't want to lose money, just close up."

"Damn, it's really you!" Zhao Erdan's face turned red with rage, and he swung a punch at the leading man's face.

The man didn't expect Zhao Erdan to strike at this moment, causing blood to gush from his nose.

Stumbling, he sat on the ground, grabbed a brick used in renovation, and charged at Zhao Erdan: "Damn it, how dare you hit me! I'll cripple you today!"

"Cripple your ass!" Zhao Erdan wouldn't back down, as the man charged, he kicked out without hesitation.
