Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Uproot the Grass
“Alright!” Li Dapang nodded eagerly.
……
The next day, after school let out at noon, Xiao Han received a call from Li Dapang.
“Xiao Han, I’ve already arrived at the entrance of your school,” Li Dapang shouted loudly.
“Alright, I’ll co over right now!” Xiao Han nodded hastily.
Leaving Zhang Feng behind, Xiao Han sprinted alone towards the school gate at breakneck speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
At the school gate, Li Dapang was driving a Lexus, followed by a Golden Van. In total, fifteen people got out of the vehicles; five from the Lexus and ten from the nine-seater Golden Van.
“You brought so many people?” Xiao Han looked at Li Dapang in astonishnt.
“Didn’t you say you wanted a massacre?” Li Dapang chuckled, dressed in a cape, with trousers and leather shoes, exuding the aura of soone who mingles in Jianghu. He also had his hair cut short, making him look spirited.
“Damn, when I said massacre, I didn’t an killing people or getting into fights,” Li Dapang huffed.
“Uh…” Li Dapang was stunned for a mont before hurriedly responding, “That doesn’t matter, today they’ll just see it as coming to the provincial city to et the big brother of Hann. Co on, you lot, hurry up and pay your respects to the big brother!”
“Big brother, hello!” the group of more than ten people shouted in unison.
Hearing this, Xiao Han felt sowhat embarrassed. Each of these guys was older than him, yet they were calling him big brother. Wasn’t this killing him with kindness? However, there were rules in Jianghu, so Xiao Han braced himself and accepted it, “Mhm, hello everyone. Let’s find a place to eat first, we can talk while we eat.”
After that, everyone promptly drove straight to Hann Restaurant.
It was much more comfortable dining at their own establishnt, their own restaurant.
At noon, Hann Restaurant was bustling with business. Yang Lu managed to arrange a large private room for them. Although there were many student custors, they mostly ca in small groups. Large gatherings typically occurred in the evenings.
“The business here is even better than at our Hann Restaurant in Linjiang City.” Li Dapang said enviously, “Tsk tsk, truly unexpected.”
“Hehe!” Xiao Han laughed and said, “No matter where the business is good or bad, it’s still Hann’s property, right?”
“Right!” Li Dapang nodded, adding, “Whether we make a profit or a loss, it’s all ours.”
“Then let’s eat and talk,” Xiao Han began. “Regarding Yujian Restaurant, my idea is… to eradicate them completely.”
“To prevent future trouble?!” Li Dapang chid in, asking, “What are you planning?!”
“If it’s going to be a big fuss, then let’s make it a huge one!” Xiao Han’s lips curved into a sly smile as he continued, “Been hit by Fang Hao before, if it wasn’t for our strong connections, our restaurant might have already closed down. This ti, I want to ensure Yujian Restaurant can never recover.”
“So, what… do you plan to do?” Li Dapang asked.
“Like this…” Xiao Han whispered his plan into the ears of those close by.
Li Dapang’s eyes glead with excitent, seemingly finding Xiao Han’s plan to be very interesting. Li Dapang nodded continually, “Okay, okay, I’ll do just that tomorrow.”
……
Inside Director Liu’s office.
Fang Hao sat opposite him; this wasn’t their first eting, but they weren’t particularly familiar with each other either. They had t a few tis at private events and knew of each other’s reputations, but they hadn’t interacted much.
Today, the two of them sat together, clearly working hard for a common interest.
“Xiao Fang, I’ve heard about your situation,” Director Liu sat opposite Fang Hao, personally brewing tea, confident in his tea-making skills. The clear tea was quite soothing to Fang Hao.
“Director Liu has called here for… so matter?” Fang Hao asked curiously.
“Yes!” Director Liu nodded, saying, “I’ve had issues with Xiao Han myself. You want to get rid of him, and so do I. I’ve heard about your recent issue, but indeed, it seems Xiao Han has a good relationship with Young Master Mo.”
Hisss…
Upon hearing this, Fang Hao inhaled sharply, saying, “No… really?”
“Absolutely!” Director Liu nodded, adding, “As for whether you believe it or not, that’s up to you. However, Young Master Mo wouldn’t turn against us for soone unrelated. After all, the power behind us should concern him more than Xiao Han!”
“Now that you put it that way, it does seem to make so sense,” Fang Hao pondered, squinting his eyes.
“Glad you understand,” Director Liu chuckled.
“So, do you have a way to deal with him?” Fang Hao asked doubtfully.
“In the provincial city, whose power is stronger?” Liu Hao chuckled and said, “It must belong to Dao Ye, right?”
“Hmm!” Fang Hao nodded and said, “Dao Ye has been entrenched here for decades, even those in officialdom give him face. If we can get Dao Ye to take action, I think we are guaranteed to win!”
“Right!” Liu Hao nodded and said, “Exactly, so I think we can ask Dao Ye to make a move.”
“That’s going to cost quite a bit,” Fang Hao said, looking at him in astonishnt.
“Hehe, as long as we can get rid of Xiao Han, what’s a little cost?” Liu Hao’s mouth twisted into a sly smile.
Fang Hao frowned and said, “Hehe, Director Liu, it wouldn’t be because of Li Xiaoya, would it?”
“That’s right!” Liu Hao nodded and said, “It’s because of Li Xiaoya that I’ve decided to take action against Xiao Han. That kid ssed up my plans last ti, and this ti I can’t let him off no matter what. Besides, Li Xiaoya seems to have taken a liking to him.”
“Eh…” Fang Hao was taken aback and said, “How could Li Xiaoya be interested in soone like him?”
“It’s absolutely true!” Liu Hao gave Fang Hao a helpless look and then said, “I couldn’t believe it either, but it’s a fact. Sotis, even though we don’t want to believe it, it doesn’t an it hasn’t happened. To nip the problem in the bud, I must get rid of this guy.”
“Hmm!” Upon hearing this, Fang Hao imdiately understood, nodded, and said, “Since Director Liu wants to get rid of this kid, then I have no excuse not to join in.”
“Hehe, I heard that seeking help from Dao Ye is expensive,” Liu Hao chuckled and said, “I’ve also inquired about the price, it seems to be one million. Xiao Han is our common enemy, as long as we get rid of Xiao Han, then Yujian Restaurant will have no more rivals. So, let’s split the one million equally!”
Fang Hao was imdiately shocked and looked at Liu Hao, saying, “Director Liu, you…”
“Hehe, it’s not about the money!” Liu Hao laughed and said, “I can certainly afford one million, but what I need is a sign of commitnt. If we each bear half a million, that ans we share the responsibility equally. This ans we’re in the sa boat.”
“I see!” Fang Hao suddenly realized, understanding that the man wasn’t just looking to split the cost but was seeking a scapegoat. Fang Hao’s mouth curled into a smile, and he chuckled, saying, “Okay, no problem. I’ll have soone bring you half a million later!”
“No need, just transfer it directly from the account!” Liu Hao said hurriedly.
Fang Hao narrowed his eyes, cursing inwardly, “Old fox!”
However, Fang Hao didn’t speak out. Instead, he nodded slightly, “Alright, since you’ve spoken, I will definitely follow your request.”
……
Fang Hao was set on getting rid of Xiao Han, and Xiao Han was determined to bring down Yujian Restaurant. By doing so, Hann Restaurant in University Town would have no rivals left. Not only that, but Xiao Han also wanted to acquire Yujian Restaurant. In that case, Hann Restaurant’s area could increase by a third.
Just when Fang Hao was thinking of getting rid of Xiao Han, a major incident occurred at Yujian Restaurant.
It was Saturday at noon.
There were quite a few diners at Yujian Restaurant, while across the street, Hann Restaurant was exceptionally busy.
The ambiance inside Yujian Restaurant was nice, with several couples sitting in corners, dining and whispering sweet nothings to each other. In the middle of the restaurant, a fat man with a few n were also having a al, looking young in age but with faces that seed weathered by the elents.
“Big Fatty, are we making a move?” a man dressed in black asked.
“Wait a mont!” Li Da shook his head and said, “Wait a few more minutes.”
“Alright then!” The man in black nodded slightly, looking nervously around. He was clutching a few pills in his hand, while the dishes on the table had been mostly eaten. The other two n also looked around curiously, their expressions sowhat tense.
Li Dapang, however, was very calm. He had eaten his fill and was chewing on a toothpick, his eyes scanning the surroundings as if he wanted to control everything around him. Two waiters stood at the door in black uniforms. There weren’t many people dining in the restaurant, with five or six staff mbers bustling around the hall. The cashier at the cash register was busy collecting money.
After scanning the room, Li Dapang said, “Hmm, it’s about ti. Go ahead with the plan.”
The man in black nodded slightly, his face tense, then flashed a faint smile before stuffing the pills in his hand into his mouth.
Gurgle…
Swallowing them with a gulp of water, he decisively swallowed the pills in his hand.
To onlookers, it seed like the man in black simply took a sip of water. Nobody could tell that he had just stealthily swallowed several pills. After swallowing the pills, the man’s expression beca even more solemn, and the other two n also imdiately swallowed their pills.
Li Dapang continued to appear very calm. Everything was going according to plan. And the real action was yet to begin. Everything awaited the next scene.
“Ah! My… my stomach hurts!” Suddenly, the man in black clutched his stomach and scread in agony.
At that mont, people in the restaurant turned their heads toward the sound. Everyone curiously stared at the man in black, faces filled with astonishnt. The entire place was stunned. Every face showed a look of surprise.
