Chapter 72: Evil Cannot Overcome Evil

Ning Xiaoning pulled Nuan Nuan to the door to watch the bad guys, while Wen Liang sent Xiao Yin away and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Li, what's going on? The shop is making money, why don't you buy Nuan Nuan some clothes?"

Li Shengli was silent for a moment and said, "This shop is ultimately yours. Without your permission, no one can touch the money in the account, not even me."

Wen Liang was both angry and amused, saying, "You, it's just a small shop, why be so formal?"

Li Shengli shook his head, his expression solemn, and said in a deep voice, "No, this is not just a small shop. To put it in a way that might make you laugh, this is the starting point of my dreams and the beginning of the rest of my life... Really, after hearing your words, I knew what kind of goals to strive for... Are you still laughing?"

Wen Liang couldn't help but laugh, which made Li Shengli lose the courage to continue. He was very frustrated; it was the first time he had tried to express his feelings, and he was mercilessly rejected.

"Let's do this: what you said makes sense, and I didn't think it through. For this shop, let's say I invest the capital, and you invest the skills, each with 50% of the shares. How does that sound?"

Li Shengli firmly refused, saying, "I'm just a chef, and I don't know anything else. The shop is all your investment. I'm just working for you, why should I have any shares..."

Wen Liang talked until he was hoarse, but Li Shengli just shook his head. In the end, he laughed and said, "Alright, then 30%, no less. Uncle Li, don't refuse. It would be embarrassing if others thought we were the richest people in China dividing our assets."

Li Shengli smiled bitterly, "I'll accept it, otherwise, your tone sounds like you're selling cabbages in the market, making me doubt if what I said earlier can really come true..."

Wen Liang laughed heartily, "Don't worry, it will not only come true, but it will happen soon."

Hearing his unrestrained laughter, the two beauties standing at the door, one a young lady and the other a little girl, turned around and gave him a cold stare. The young lady was cool and composed, while the little girl was cute and innocent, their innocent faces blooming like flowers.

Wen Liang took 1000 yuan from the counter, gave 500 yuan to Li Shengli to buy winter clothes for Nuan Nuan and himself, and gave the remaining 500 yuan to Ning Xiaoning.

Ning Xiaoning took the money, her eyes sparkling with happiness, and asked, "Do I still have a salary?" It was only today that Wen Liang realized this young lady seemed to be a bit of a money lover. She had listened intently during the discussion about development, but now that she saw the money, she was unusually cheerful.

"Spit, you wish! Keep it in your pocket, I'll need it later."

After closing the shop door, Wen Liang didn't want Li Shengli to get involved in too many gang-related matters, so he asked him to leave with Nuan Nuan first. Xiao Yin also left, looking back with a reluctant expression, which made Wen Liang both laugh and cry.

The six people kneeling opposite had already attracted the attention of many passersby, but with their bruised faces and fierce looks, no one dared to stop and watch. The timid ones glanced and hurried away, while a few brave ones stood a dozen meters away, chattering about something.

Ming Ge had been sitting at the entrance of a nearby store. Wen Liang waved, and he quickly ran over. Upon approaching, his attitude was much more respectful than the last time they met, and he asked, "Young Master Wen, do you have any other instructions?"

"Have they confessed?"

"They have. It turns out a deputy factory manager named Wei Gang heard that Scarface is quite influential in this area, so he gave them 200 yuan to cause trouble. I've already made sure there won't be any more trouble at the shop."

It was indeed Wei Gang. Wen Liang smiled, "Thank you, Ming Ge. Xiaoning!"

Ning Xiaoning, who was well-versed in worldly affairs, immediately understood Wen Liang's intention. She was seething with anger but couldn't back down at this moment, so she obediently took out 500 yuan and handed it to Ming Ge.

Ming Ge was startled by Wen Liang's gesture. Could such a beautiful and extraordinary girl only be a follower? He must indeed be a big shot. He hurriedly refused, his tone even more respectful, "Young Master Wen, please don't. If I take money for such a small matter, Brother Jiu will break my legs when I get back."

"Take it, it's just a little money! You can't run an errand for free. Go back and treat your brothers to some drinks."

Ming Ge knew he couldn't refuse, so he took the money and smiled, "If there's nothing else, we'll leave first?"

Wen Liang nodded. This guy was straightforward and efficient. He could say a good word for him to An Baoqing. After Ming Ge and his group left, Ning Xiaoning's eyes widened in shock, pointing at the van's exhaust, "This... this..."

Seeing Ning Xiaoning's expression, Wen Liang felt a surge of pride and said, "How about that? Little girl, have faith in justice. Neither Ultraman nor Happy Sheep can save the world, only our police can!" He silently added, "Maybe the urban management too."

Ning Xiaoning didn't know what Ultraman or Happy Sheep were, and she wasn't in the mood to care. She had been deeply impressed by everything she had seen today. Ming Ge's appearance and the conversation in the shop had already revealed many of Wen Liang's unique qualities. Ming Ge and his gang were one thing, but Ning Xiaoning didn't take them seriously. However, this shop and its future plans, all conceived by a boy a year younger than her, were nothing short of a miracle!

Seeing Wen Liang turn to leave, Ning Xiaoning stomped her foot and quickly caught up, persistently asking, "What else do you have that I don't know about? Confess quickly, or I'll... I'll tell Xu Yao that you're not a good person!"

Wen Liang was startled by this powerful threat and said seriously, "You're wrong. I'm not just a bad person; I'm actually a ghost, a handsome and lecherous ghost!"

"Spit, you have no shame!"

After finally convincing Ning Xiaoning to leave, Wen Liang met Zuo Yuxi at the Imperial Garden at six o'clock in the evening. He couldn't stay long; his mother had scolded him last night, and he had to get home on time today. Without any unnecessary words, he wrote down the name and address of Wei Gang's lackey, Xia Fugui, on a piece of paper and handed it to Zuo Yuxi.

"This is the person. Use any means necessary to have An Baoqing deal with him tonight, but be careful not to cause any real trouble! If you can uncover Wei Gang's issues, that's best, but if not, make sure Xia Fugui is cooperative. He's still useful."

After learning about the soy milk shop incident last night, Wen Liang had already made all the arrangements. To deal with gangsters, using gangsters was best, so Ming Ge was waiting to use evil to fight evil. After finding out the reason, he had Liu Tian's people directly take them to the city bureau for interrogation. Then there was Xia Fugui, Wei Gang's confidant, who likely knew many of his secrets. Even if he didn't, Wen Liang had a plan. Using both legal and illegal means, he would ensure Wei Gang couldn't recover, no matter what.

Zuo Yuxi said, "I've already contacted the Discipline Inspection Commission. Since Jiang Wei is not around, Niu Guiqing can send a reliable person to take over. We just need to be ready, and they will act."

Wen Liang said, "No rush with the Discipline Inspection Commission. Let's wait until the show is over in the next few days, then have Secretary Niu take care of it." Niu Guiqing, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, was an old member of the Zuo faction, but after Xu Fuyan took over Qingzhou, he remained neutral and indecisive, seemingly waiting for the right price or opportunity. After Xu Fuyan and Zuo Jing joined forces, Zuo Yuxi's visit made Niu Guiqing realize that Zhou Yuanting's fate was sealed, and he firmly stood with Xu Fuyan. Without his strong support, it would have been difficult for Jiang Wei and others to disappear so quietly.

As he was leaving, Wen Liang specifically instructed, "Ming Ge is good at his job, but don't let him handle Xia Fugui. Find someone more discreet."

Zuo Yuxi nodded, understanding Wen Liang's meaning. If no one knows too much, they won't have too many connections, and nothing will go wrong. Seeing Wen Liang about to leave in a hurry, she suddenly scolded, "Why so rushed? Do you think this is a hotel, where you can leave after finishing your business?"

Wen Liang, of course, knew she was deliberately teasing him, and her words were ambiguous. He smiled bitterly, "Sister, please spare me. If I don't go home soon, my mother will be furious, and if she's angry, it won't be good for you either."

After Wen Liang left, Zuo Yuxi finally understood the meaning of his last words. Only a daughter-in-law who angers her mother-in-law would have no benefit. She first frowned, then chuckled, wrote Wen Liang's name on a blank piece of paper, and flicked it, saying fiercely, "If you anger me, it won't be good for you either!"

At nine o'clock in the evening, Xia Fugui, who had just returned from drinking with Wei Gang, was walking home in a daze. As he passed a nearby alley, he suddenly felt the urge to urinate and turned into the dark alley, unzipping his pants to relieve himself.

A voice came from behind, "Xia Fugui?"

"Who's calling me?"

Xia Fugui turned around and saw a pair of cold, snake-like eyes. He shivered, his urine flowing back, and just as he was about to scream, a bag was thrown over his head.

A Jinbei van immediately drove up, and three people quickly stuffed Xia Fugui into the van, disappearing into the night. The entire process took no more than thirty seconds, very professional!

Around eleven o'clock at night, Wen Liang, who had been waiting by the phone, received a call from Zuo Yuxi. Xia Fugui, a commoner, was so frightened by the situation that he spilled everything. Wei Gang indeed had many issues, including several young and beautiful mistresses and some shady dealings. However, these would take some time to investigate. Wen Liang smiled, deciding to frame him with a false accusation to ruin his appointment as deputy director of the light industry bureau.

"Big Sister Zuo, let's do this..."
