Chapter 238 Follow-up of the incident
"Shengli, why did you come back so late? I was planning to go out to look for you." When Li Shengli returned to the courtyard, Han Qiuyun was anxiously pacing around the house.

"It's okay, I just ran into two little thieves on the road." Li Shengli did not tell me what happened specifically just now. It was all in the past, and there was no need to tell it and make Han Qiuyun worry again.

"Are you okay?" When Han Qiuyun heard that Li Shengli was in danger, she hurried forward and carefully checked Li Shengli's body from top to bottom. She was relieved when she did not see any wounds on Li Shengli's body.

"You don't know what can happen to me. Those petty thieves were beaten by my iron stick and fled in panic." In order to appease Han Qiuyun, Li Shengli pretended to be a character in Peking Opera and boasted about himself like a storyteller.

Listening to Li Shengli bragging about his martial arts, Han Qiuyun couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Li Shengli heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the smile on Han Qiuyun's face. There is no man who would make his wife worry about him.

"Are the children asleep?" After Li Shengli comforted Han Qiuyun, he didn't hear any children's voices in the house. Li Shengli seemed to think that it was too late and the children might have fallen asleep, so he lowered his voice.

"Even when she was asleep, Xiaoqin was still complaining about you because you're nowhere to be seen all day." Han Qiuyun was also a little resentful. Since their own restaurant opened, Li Shengli has been leaving home early and coming back late. She also has to go to work, and she really can't take care of the children at home.

"How about this, Qiuyun, why don't you just resign?" Li Shengli thought about it. It was quite chaotic outside at the moment. It was just right that Han Qiuyun could resign and take care of the three children.

"This is not a good idea. Although we have made some money by running a restaurant, it is not a stable job after all." Although Han Qiuyun was a little tempted, she was still a little scared and hesitant.

Li Shengli thought about it and thought that if his wife really resigned, he would have nothing to do. He didn't want to be like those nagging aunties in the yard.

Li Shengli couldn't help but shudder when he thought of this.

"Well, let's do this. I'll try my best to come back. After a while, I'll ask Shu Lin to work as a chef in the restaurant." Now that his own restaurant is almost stable, it's time to call Tian Shulin to work for him. At that time, he won't have to pay him any salary. He can just become a shareholder and give him dividends every month. This is better than a fixed salary.

"That's fine too." Han Qiuyun was also quite satisfied with Li Shengli's idea. "Sit down first. I'll get you some water to wash your feet."

As she spoke, Han Qiuyun picked up the thermos on the table, added some cold water and made a basin of water for Li Shengli to wash his feet.

Lee Seung-ri took off his shoes and socks and put his feet into the foot basin. The hot water scalded Lee Seung-ri and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Li Shengli's comfortable look, Han Qiuyun couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

After washing up, Li Shengli lay down on the bed to rest.

The next day, news spread that four people had gotten into trouble in a nearby alley. Everyone was discussing the matter. The four people were educated youth who had returned from the countryside. They had never been assigned a job, and no one knew who they had offended. Not only did they have to stay in prison for a few years, but the comrades at the police station said that the four people's hands and feet were broken.

Li Shengli listened to everyone's discussion and thought to himself that it was a good thing that the people from the police station did not reveal his name. Li Shengli heard from the comrades in the police station that these four people had no income on weekdays and their recent expenses were relatively high, so they were short of money at the moment. They had succeeded twice before, but did not get much money, and their courage gradually grew. In addition, they found out that Li Shengli went home at this time almost every day, so they decided to take action against Li Shengli.

But they didn't expect that they had hit a wall this time. Not only were they put in jail, but their hands and feet were also broken.

After hearing about Li Shengli's story, a Buddhist master named Wuye in Dongzhimen was holding a meeting with his subordinates. Most of the people involved in society in this area are his subordinates. These small gangsters are well-informed and most of them have some connections with the people in the police station. They know what kind of people can be provoked and what kind of people cannot be provoked.

These people are all low-level hooligans who usually rely on their numbers to extort money and steal things. There are relatively few people like Lee Seung-ri who break people's legs at will. The real gangsters don't care about the little money they get from collecting protection money.

"Master Wu, what do you think we should do about this?" A man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks asked the slightly arrogant figure sitting in the main seat.

"What should we do?" Master Wu glanced at him sideways, without moving.

"It was those four people who committed the crime." The man with a pointed chin and monkey face reminded his boss with a smile.

"What does that have to do with us?" Fifth Master said calmly, "It was the four of them who didn't know the rules first. Even if our men didn't rob anyone, they still got themselves involved, which is a very embarrassing thing."

Wu Ye didn't intend to be helped by these four people, and these four people didn't pay him any respects.

"Uncle Wu, what about the owner of the restaurant?" asked the man with a pointed chin and monkey face.

"Why don't you go and find out where he came from?" Wu Ye thought for a while, tapped his fingers on the table, and then signaled the man with a pointed chin and monkey face to go and find out where Li Shengli came from.

"Okay, I understand." The man with a pointed chin and monkey face nodded in understanding. Wu Ye meant for him to investigate whether Li Shengli had any backers.

Two days later, after the lunch rush, Xiaomei, who was taking orders at the front desk, quietly approached Li Shengli.

"Boss, why do I feel like something is wrong these days?" Xiaomei looked around nervously.

"What's wrong? Why are you so nervous?" Li Shengli looked at Xiaomei, who seemed nervous, with some amusement.

"Boss, you may not know this in the kitchen, but I noticed it in the front. It seems that some little hooligans are staring at our store." Xiaomei was a little scared.

"Oh? Is that true?" Li Shengli narrowed his eyes. Could it be that the four guys he beat up two days ago had some other background?
Li Shengli walked out of the back door of the kitchen and looked around quietly. As expected, he found that there were two hooligans who did not look like decent people staring at his store at the corner around his store.

Li Shengli wondered if he was being targeted.

That's right, it's a chaotic time now, and there are endless gangsters here. Even in 2024, there are still these gangsters, let alone now.

After returning to the hotel, Li Shengli thought about it carefully and decided that this matter was easy to solve. Judging from the way the stalking was done, it should be an organized person. Organized people are the easiest to deal with. At this time, as long as he found a backer, the problem would be easily solved.

Li Shengli thought of a solution, and the best solution at this time was to take advantage of the power of another.

Even though these little hooligans seem very arrogant now, they actually know who they can mess with and who they cannot mess with.

The person who came to stalk at the door of his own hotel was probably here to gather information.
