Song Qinghan laughed out of his wrath, he raised his eyebrows again, saying, “‘Soul extracting powder’ seems to be coming from nowhere from your mouth, are you indeed aware of the drug thoroughly yourself? Then, can you tell us the exact reaction after one takes the drug?”

The man hesitated for a moment and then shook his head, saying, “How am I supposed to know? I never tasted such a thing before.”

“So, you don’t even know what the ‘Soul-extracting’ powder is, and you just claimed that our food come with the ingredient without a further investigation?”

Song Qinghan withdrew his complexion all of a sudden, and then stared at those men coldly.

The men couldn’t help but hunch their shoulders at the same time as they received the menacing look from Song Qinghan.

“What do you want then? We didn’t do that on purpose, yet your current action is actually destroying our business!” one of the men roared.

Song Qinghan sneered and put both his hands on his back, saying leisurely, “Oh, what a great show now! It’s such a surprise to know that you’re not on purpose! Since you claimed that you were not on purpose, then how come I am now described as a culprit doing such a thing on purpose? Destroy your business? What a joke! I just purely want to share the joy with you guys. If you buy our spices from our shop, won’t it be a win-win cooperation for us?”

Those people were in the wrong first. They were threatened by Song Qinghan and now they even did not dare to find the Yamen runners, so now they involuntarily followed Song Qinghan’s line of thought and frowned, “How much is the so-called spices you just mentioned? If you’re going to make an excessive demand, we will definitely refuse!”

Seeing that the fish was about to take the bait, Song Qinghan smiled secretly, but he answered in his calmness, “One silver coin for one pack, we cheat neither the old nor the young with a fairly cheap price. Believe it or not, you can inquire of the folks, they won’t get the price if they want!”

“One silver coin for one pack?!”

Those men exclaimed at the same voice, and then they looked at each other, seemingly waiting for one of them to make a decision.

“It seems that it indeed brings a good flavor? Personally speaking, I like the flavor myself…”

“Yeah, it tastes not bad. But it’s too expensive for just one pack! One silver coin only for one pack, I wonder how long we can use in one pack?!”

“Are you stupid? We can raise the price of our food! Yeah, of course we should raise the price if the food becomes more delicious. I think the customers won’t show their unwillingness towards it!”

“…”

When Song Qinghan left the shop, the spices in his arms had already been exchanged by pieces of ingot. And the expression on his face turned into the one of satisfaction.

After returning to his own shop, Song Qinghan made a bow with hands folded in front and shouted, “Those people just came to destroy our business. Believe it or not, you can go to the shop at the end of the alley and check if they are all in there! Moreover, they purchased a lot of spices from me. From tomorrow on, their food will have the same flavor with ours! I promise to all of you that this kind of powder is harmless and edible. If you are still worried about that, then don’t go to their shop either!”

On the way, Song Qinghan heard that the shop owned by those men was the best one among the food stores around them. No wonder that they would do so to malign Song Qinghan and his shop after they noticed their thunder was stolen by him. Yet it was completely out of their expectation that Song Qinghan would be the final winner while connecting the fates of both shops.

Highly integrated and mutually beneficial while suffering the same loss.

After Hualian heard the news from Song Qinghan, he commenced blaming himself while being touched. However, he didn’t say anything. He just lowered his head trying his best to work, striving to bring out more delicious food, he was fully confident that by doing so he was able to attract more customers coming over.

Luo Haiyun showed up from nowhere suddenly as if he had known the news in advance, he approached with a congratulatory gift in hand. But when he passed through the shop, he couldn’t help but show a face of astonishment and bewilderment.

However, he didn’t bother to say something strange. It seemed that owning the shop by Song Qinghan was out of his expectation, yet it made sense at the same time.

Just as he was about to step forward, a familiar figure suddenly walked over. His feet paused and then moved quickly to the other side subconsciously.

When Song Qinghan sensed a shadow blocking in front of him, he subconsciously raised his head and smiled, “What would you like…”

His smile froze on his face and then he frowned. “It’s you?!”

He subconsciously glanced at Wu Dahu and saw that Wu Dahu was clenching his fists tightly. He couldn’t help but get tense suddenly.

Lin Dafu smiled faintly and turned his head to size up and down at Song Qinghan’s shop. He commented in a reserved manner, “Not so bad! You are way more powerful than I thought since you are able to expand your business here in the state capital! But here’s a warm tip, a bare ambition or effort is not enough if you want to get your root here.”

“For example,” he paused, glanced back at a certain place and said softly, “You still need someone to support you.”

As soon as he finished talking, a gang of nefarious hatchet men emerged from the other side, gathered together and intruded into the shop to smash everything within it. And after that, they went away with a swagger, not even glancing at Song Qinghan at all.

Obviously, their aim was to commit sabotage and did not want to get into a battle. In that case, even Wu Dahu wanted to stop them, he could only stop one or two, while he got no chance to stop the others smashing everything in their shops.

Wu Dahu’s expression darkened. He came over and grabbed Lin Dafu’s collar and punched him hard on the face.

“What do you think you’re doing? Don’t ever think that I am afraid of you!”

“Stop it! Go and save your Master!”

An anxious voice sounded not far away. Song Qinghan looked up at the source of the voice. When he saw a plain-looking femina male, he was in a total confusion.

Was he the new husband of Lin Dafu? Hmmm… probably Lin Dahu did marry another wealthy family instead of a REAL femina male because no one didn’t know that Lin Dafu was actually a real dandy who lust for beauty.

Lin Dafu seemed to have expected this scene. Seeing that there was an additional force in his hand that did not belong to him, he smiled weakly and said softly, “Dear, don’t get me wrong! They are just my old friends, so I just over reacted. But don’t worry, my mind is always on you…”

Hearing his words, Song Qinghan’s expression became even stranger.

If he didn’t say that, his new husband wouldn’t know what had happened before. But if he said so, wouldn’t it be equivalent to admit that they indeed got an ‘affair’?

Sure enough, just at the moment Lin Dafu’s new husband caught a glimpse of the super delicate face of Song Qinghan, the wrath almost erupted from his brain, he pointed at Song Qinghan viciously, “Well, YOU ARE the bit*ch who try to seduce my husband?”

Before Song Qinghan spoke, Wu Dahu frowned and broke in, roaring without mercy, “Hey, watch your mouth! Are you blind or something? Didn’t you see that it was actually Lin Dahu who incurred the disturbance and he got bunch of men to smash our shop, that’s why I punched him on the face, what’s the relation with my husband?”

Beyond his expectation, the fierce femina man seemed to ignore Wu Dahu’s words, he continued to point at Song Qinghan with his short index finger, “Well, well, what a real one! You have a husband now and still incite the war between him and my husband. Are you upset because my husband ignored you all along the way, and you nursed grievance yourself, right?”

Song Qinghan smiled out of his extreme wrath, and he knew he would never compete with such a stupid guy with bunch of theatrical fantasies in mind. He shook his head and said, “I’m afraid that I’m not the one who should nurse any grievance over everything. I would say, it’s you! Today is the first day I run my business here, it was supposed to be a happy day for me, but your husband smashed my shop, don’t you get anything to say over this matter?”

The man burst out into laughter with his face full of pride. He said with his arms folded across his chest, “So are you forcing me to apologize to you now? Why don’t you ask around about my identity?”

Song Qinghan’s face turned cold and he said calmly, “Oh? Really? So, tell me, how can I ask around? Ask the residents here about who the ugly duckling is within the capital?”

‘Ugly duckling’? The words irritated completely the femina male, he got his expression changed suddenly, clenching his fist tight, and then waved his hand, shrieking, “Move your ass! Go and get him a lesson for me!”

Seeing that Wu Dahu and Song Qinghan were about to accept a serious kick on their butts, Lin Dafu couldn’t help but feel rather satisfied.

Although it was his own choice to come to the state capital and marry such an ‘ugly duckling’. But in his mind, Song Qinghan should be accused of that because if Song Qinghan did not refuse him but accept him instead, he wouldn’t have been so frustrated!

Ever since he married this femina man, his life had been as bitter as a cup of tea, a kind of tea that came without even any taste of sweetness. Even if he was a tough guy, he was still reluctant to be tormented by such a plain life without fun.

Previously, when he saw Song Qinghan, he thought it was just a delusion he saw by his blurry eyes. It was only today that he realized that the two culprits who “destroyed” his life had arrived at the capital city. And he now felt quite satisfied towards the show he had prepared long while ago to smash their shop.

Though it was not his intention to get the ‘ugly duckling’ here, he wasn’t surprised at all towards his arrival.

After all, ever since he got married, this man would not let him disappear in front of him for more than a quarter of an hour. He would either have someone to summon him back or appear in front of him on his own initiative. Recently, the ‘ugly duckling’ seemed to have detected the bad mood of his husband, so he did not get someone to summon back Lin Dafu in avoiding incurring a worse mood for Lin Dahu. Probably it was the only advantage for that ‘ugly duckling’.

Just at the moment the shower-like fists were about to fall on Wu Dahu and Song Qinghan, there came a familiar sound.

“Su Tingting, who’s your target?”

Song Qinghan looked over to the place where the sound came, and then he shouted in surprise, “Wang Chaoyuan? What brings you here?”

The one who spoke was Wang Chaoyuan. When he noticed the panic in Su Tingting’s eyes, he sneered and shouted, “What now? Afraid to talk now? Didn’t you get someone to ask about your identity? Aren’t you the most famous little brat who bully the weak and fear the strong, what’s the benefit to ask about that?”

Su Tingting subconsciously pinched at Lin Dafu’s arm and said calmly trying his best to remain his expression, “What are you talking about? Believe me or not, I’ll go back and tell my father that you bullied me in public!”

“Bully you?”

Luo Haiyun suddenly sounded. Seeing that Su Tingting directly hid behind Lin Dafu, he sneered, “I would like to know your father’s thought towards the whole matter just happened. It’s not hard to judge who the REAL BULLY is!”

It seemed that Su Tingting was like a tiger when he faced Wang Chaoyuan, but became a rat when he confronted Luo Haiyun. He then whispered, “Why… Why are you with them? You’re not a type of officiousness!”

He didn’t say anything about the relationship between Luo Haiyun and Song Qinghan because he subconsciously didn’t want to believe that Luo Haiyun would take a fancy to Song Qinghan. On the other hand, he didn’t dare to.

Without waiting for Luo Haiyun to speak, Wang Chaoyuan sneered and mocked, “Don’t you have a mirror at home? Just look at yourself, will you? Do you really think that Brother Luo will have a crush on you? Oh, let me guess, you must think that you can run amuck now because you are supported by a weak boy toy. You must have thought that the law was drafted by you!”
