Chapter 241 Fang Hu
Reading Settings
The man suddenly remembered Commander Xiao, whom he had mentioned before, and quickly said, "Director, I just remembered something!"
"I remember a man saying that all those supplies, such as rice, flour, cooking oil, and meat, were specially sent by Commander Xiao."
Upon hearing the name "Commander Xiao," Director Wei paused for a moment, then replied as if suddenly realizing something, "Oh, so it's Commander Xiao! Speaking of which, I do have some impression of Shen Xiaoxiao, the young lady from the Shen family; we've known each other for a while now."
"What? Does anyone dare to provoke their family?" At this point, Director Wei's expression instantly turned serious, and a hint of authority was revealed in his eyes.
The man was quite frightened by Director Wei's sudden stern demeanor and quickly waved his hands to explain, "No, no, no, Director, you misunderstand. No one has bullied their family."
"It's just... it's just that someone sent an anonymous tip, so we went over to find out what was going on. But then the girl said she knew you, so we didn't stay any longer and went straight back."
As he spoke, large beads of sweat rolled down the man's forehead, clearly indicating his guilt and unease.
Seeing this, Director Wei's tense nerves relaxed slightly. He breathed a sigh of relief and slowly said, "It's good that I wasn't bullied. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to explain to Brother Xiao."
"Before he left, he repeatedly told me to take good care of Shen Xiaoxiao and her family."
"Xiao Fang! Look at me here, I'm incredibly busy. But I have complete confidence in you!"
"If you have any free time, go to Shenjiazhuang more often. You absolutely cannot let the Shen family be bullied by others!"
Director Wei raised his head, his gaze falling on the man named Fang Hu in front of him, and earnestly gave him another piece of advice.
Upon hearing this, Fang Hu quickly put on a smile and nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Don't worry, Director Wei! I will definitely go and check on things every now and then, and I will absolutely not let anyone have the opportunity to bully the Shen family."
Then he added, "Alright, since you're so busy, I won't bother you any longer. I'll head out now."
After saying that, he bowed to Director Wei and then carefully turned and walked towards the door.
When Fang Hu retreated to the doorway, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the dense beads of sweat from his forehead.
Then, he slowly closed the door, and only after making sure it was tightly shut did he turn around and stride quickly toward the few underlings waiting not far away.
"Tiger, how's it going? Did that bitch actually try to fool us?"
A man with a pointed mouth, monkey-like face, and shifty eyes darted nimbly like a monkey to Fang Hu, who had just walked over. His face was full of anxiety, and he was the first to ask Fang Hu a question.
Seeing this, Fang Hu had no choice but to stop. He first coldly glanced at the underlings who quickly surrounded him, his face expressionless.
Then, with a gloomy face, he slowly answered, "Director Wei said that he was just asked to look after things for a friend."
"They also told us to take a stroll around the village more often when we have nothing to do, to make sure no one dares to bully his family."
After saying these words, Fang Hu seemed to suddenly think of something, and he narrowed his already small eyes slightly. He instantly became as still as a statue, as if he were completely immersed in his own thoughts.
Upon hearing this, the previously anxious man with the pointed chin and monkey-like face was now astonished, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead as he muttered to himself, "Then... then does that mean she really knows Director Wei?"
"What are we going to do! We wrecked their house! If Director Wei finds out, we're in deep trouble!"
"What else can we do? Quickly take out all the money you have on you, let's go to the furniture factory and buy her a batch of brand new furniture to send over!"
Fang Hu now hated the person who had written the whistleblower letter to the core. If he found out who had done such a despicable thing, that person would definitely not have a good end.
Because of this damned whistleblower letter, he not only lost more than two hundred yuan for nothing, but now, in order to make amends, he has to pay out of his own pocket to buy new furniture for the other party and have it delivered to their door.
Thinking of this, Fang Hu's anger burned even more fiercely.
"Brother Tiger, are we just going to let this go like this?" the man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face muttered with resentment.
"None of you are allowed to provoke the Shen family again, otherwise even I can't protect you."
"However, if you have the ability to find the guy who wrote the whistleblower letter, you can not only recover our losses, but also get your revenge," Fang Hu said angrily.
"But what should we do now? Once we buy all the furniture and deliver it to them, the Shen family shouldn't report us to Director Wei anymore, right?"
The group of underlings huddled together, whispering amongst themselves, each of them looking dejected and listless.
"First, we'll repair all the damaged furniture, and then send some extra meat as an apology."
"Hopefully, after they see the apology, they won't keep harping on us." Fang Hu wasn't really sure, but since things had come to this point, he could only take it one step at a time.
“Then we might not have enough money,” another young man, around eighteen or nineteen years old, stepped forward and said.
"Let's scrape it together. We can earn money later," Fang Hu said, taking out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and taking a puff.
A group of men looked at each other, then took out the money they had just taken from home.
Looking at the money his subordinates handed over, it totaled only fifty or sixty yuan. He didn't know if that was enough to buy furniture.
"Brother Tiger, the more I think about it, the more unwilling I am to accept this. Let's find out who wrote the whistleblower letter!" the man with the pointed face and monkey-like features said angrily.
“Cha, you’ve ruined me so badly, and you think you can get away with it without paying a price? You wish!” Fang Hu said fiercely.
Shen Xiaoxiao was unaware that another large group of people were helping her search for the person who wrote the anonymous report framing her family.
"Most of the things are unusable now, so we need to buy new ones, but I don't know if we can buy them anytime soon," Ma Aning said dejectedly.
Shen Xiaoxiao grabbed Ma Aning's hand, "Mom, don't think too much. Let's throw away all the damaged and unwanted items now. We can sort them out slowly and buy more later."
