Chapter 1105 1081: Targeting Le Fu Jia
Liou Chuan Dian hung up the phone and waited for a moment before calling again. Before he could speak, this time Mr. Qian was the first to open his mouth.
"Mr. Liou, sorry to keep you waiting. I'm afraid this situation is rather tricky."
"Tricky?" Liou Chuan Dian frowned, "Can't it be done?"
"It's very difficult. Don't tell others, but I've found out that people from the Dragon Group are handling this. You know, since the Dragon Group is involved, if I want to get people out without any apparent reason, it's basically impossible. If things go wrong, I might not even be able to keep my position."
Liou Chuan Dian frowned even more: "What's going on? Why are people from the Dragon Group involved?"
"I don't know either, but this time I'm at a loss, and this case will be expanded. Even in terms of manpower, there are task force personnel sent from above."
At this point, Liou Chuan Dian's pupils contracted.
"The case is expanding? What do you mean?"
"It means the impact will be huge," Mr. Qian said on the other end. "That's all I have to say. I can't help you with the rest. You have to figure it out yourself."
After speaking, the phone was hung up.
At this point, Liou Chuan Dian's face became unpredictable.
"Patriarch, Patriarch, can I be released?" Liou Chengjiao was still looking expectantly at Liou Chuan Dian outside the railing door.
Liou Chuan Dian turned his head, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, but he said, "Yes, you just need to wait a little longer."
After speaking, Liou Chuan Dian returned with his men. After returning to the Liou Family, his face was still extremely gloomy. He summoned the three of Liou Jianyun and explained the situation, causing the other two to change their expressions as well.
"What? People from the Dragon Group are involved?"
"This is not simple. I can smell the scent of conspiracy behind it."
"That's right. If this matter is really investigated, our Liou Family will definitely suffer losses, or even face a major setback."
Liou Chuan Dian's face remained unpredictable: "What do you think we should do?"
"We still haven't figured out the exact reason why the police arrested Chengjiao. Why not delay a bit?"
"Hesitation in decision-making leads to chaos." Liou Zian's expression was graver, "My opinion is to abandon the pawn to protect the king, sacrifice Chengjiao."
The other two were somewhat shocked, and Liou Chuan Dian's expression became even more uncertain. After a long pause, he finally spoke: "Send someone to investigate Chengjiao's matter, to see what exactly is going on."
...
"Did the information come in?"
Liou Rumei sat on the sofa, still smiling.
"Long Yue sent the message, the person has been captured." Ren Feng looked at Liou Rumei curiously, "But how did you know Liou Chengjiao would use drugs?"
Liou Rumei giggled: "It's simple. They're investigating me, and I'm investigating them. And the Liou Family is huge with many people, finding something isn't hard. Besides Liou Chengjiao, I have evidence on others too, but I'm not in a rush, I'll take my time."
Ren Feng nodded: "Then what's the next step?"
"Next, with the Liou Family losing Liou Chengjiao, they'll definitely be in chaos. This is a good opportunity, and what I want to do is target Le Fu Jia."
Ren Feng nodded, watching the highly confident Liou Rumei, feeling that at this moment, she seemed to have the entire Liou Family cornered.
...
Yanjing, Le Fu Jia Mall.
Le Fu Jia Mall is a comprehensive mall that combines daily necessities, dining, appliances, clothing, and furniture. It's one of the top ten malls in Yanjing, and there are nearly thirty chain stores just in Yanjing with substantial nationwide influence.
As usual, Le Fu Jia Mall was bustling with an endless stream of patrons, and the mall earned a large profit from the pockets of the customers coming and going.
Retail is one of the most profitable industries worldwide.
Mrs. Liu completed her payment at the cashier and checked the price of each item she bought and the amount spent at the mall entrance. This careful habit is rare among younger people.
She discovered that the price on the chicken leg tag was twelve point nine yuan per jin, while it was clearly marked as a special offer for "nine point nine yuan" per jin when she bought it in the mall. The actual price was three yuan more per jin than the advertised price. How could this be?
Three yuan more per jin, she bought two jins, which meant she paid six yuan extra—this might be trivial for the wealthy, but for countless ordinary people in Huaxia Country living on meager pensions, it's an amount they can't afford to lose.
Mrs. Liu wheeled her shopping cart to the side of the checkout counter where she had paid and said to the cashier, "Miss, the price of the chicken legs I bought is wrong."
Facing a long line of customers, the cashier impatiently said while assisting other patrons: "If you have any issues, please consult at the service desk."
Helpless, Mrs. Liu wheeled her cart to the service desk.
There was also a long queue in front of the service desk, and finally it was her turn. The service desk staff glanced at the chicken legs handed over, saying: "Maybe the promotional flyers inside haven't been changed in time. The actual price is as printed on the computer."
Mrs. Liu was furious, saying: "How can this be? Isn't this fraudulent? I only bought it because it said nine point nine per jin, how did it become twelve point nine at checkout? If that's the case, I wouldn't have bought it."
"The merchant didn't remove the promotional flyer in time, what can we do? If you don't want them, leave them here, and we'll refund you." The staff retorted unsatisfied, "If you can't afford it, then don't eat it. What's the big difference between nine point nine and twelve point nine?"
"You—you—you're bullying people, you won't give me an explanation, and your attitude is so poor. I stood in line for so long to report this problem… it's your mistake, and you won't even apologize—"
The service staff disdainfully glanced at Mrs. Liu, handing her the refunded twenty-five yuan and eight mao, saying: "This is your refund, you might as well buy the nine point nine elsewhere."
"You…you…" Mrs. Liu's face turned red, her fingers trembling as she pointed at the staff but couldn't utter a word.
Then, her vision went black, and she collapsed headfirst onto the service counter.
"Ah—someone's fainted—"
"Call an ambulance—call an ambulance—"
"I have a car, hurry and take her to the hospital—"
Incidents like this were not uncommon and not the first to occur in Le Fu Jia Mall. Typically, businesses would send someone to express concern, cover medical expenses, or offer a few hundred yuan in compensation to resolve the matter.
After all, how could an ordinary citizen win over these wealthy and officially-backed entrepreneurs?
However, it turned out there was a new turning point in the matter.
