After the search, Jin Ya looked at Hu Xiaobei's shop with a blank face and spoke with some reluctance, "What now? Am I supposed to just take this loss? I've never suffered such a big loss in all my life, and I really can't swallow this indignity!"

Ever since becoming the local tyrant and having his own brother as a backer, Jin Ya had always swaggered around the Provincial City!

So, now that he'd been bullied by Hu Xiaobei, he was itching to tear Hu Xiaobei limb from limb...

They all breathed a sigh of relief seeing Jin Ya calm down a tad!

After that, they spoke again, their faces twisted with resentment.

"Boss, we know you're fuming inside, and we are too!"

"Yeah, we got hit too just a while ago!"

"Right!"

They hated Hu Xiaobei to death and were itching to get their revenge, but they knew they couldn't go all out in a fight right now because they truly were no match for him.

Acting rashly now would only bring trouble upon themselves...

Hearing them speak with such venom, Jin Ya narrowed his eyes and asked pointedly, "So, tell me, what should we do now?"

...

Upon Jin Ya's inquiry, they exchanged glances!

At that moment, one of the men with glasses spoke up, "Boss, there's no need to rush. We can't beat him with brute force, but we can outdo that piece of shit by pulling strings! We've been in the Provincial City for so many years, it should be quite simple to use our connections to deal with a lousy peasant!"

Hearing this, Jin Ya was momentarily taken aback, but then he laughed!

He realized that he'd been too fixated earlier.

"Good, good, that's a great idea!"

Laughing maniacally, he thought of his brother, Jin Chi.

Knowing full well that as the head of the Urban Management Bureau, if his brother was willing, then Hu Xiaobei was finished!

So soon, Hu Xiaobei would be kneeling in front of him, confessing his sins...

Seeing Jin Ya laugh, his subordinates knew Jin Ya had figured out how to deal with Hu Xiaobei...

Thinking this, they said, "Boss, beauties are for the strong. We think the beauty by Hu Xiaobei's side would suit you well!"

"Are you talking about Guo Meiyu? She indeed is very beautiful!"

Pumped at the thought, Jin Ya slightly squinted his eyes.

At that moment, he saw a dark business van appear...

...

"I feel like I've seen this car somewhere before!"

Muttering to himself, Jin Ya saw the dark van come to a swift stop!

He looked closely, almost instinctively.

His eyes soon widened in shock.

Because he saw coming down from the vehicle, fast, was none other than his own brother, Jin Chi!

Jin Ya had no idea why his brother Jin Chi was here, but he was ready to rush out and exaggerate how Hu Xiaobei had bullied him before asking Jin Chi to shut down Hu Xiaobei's shop...

But before he could actually run out, Jin Ya stood rooted to the spot!

Because at that moment, he realized that after his brother got out of the car, he didn't walk away; instead, he turned with a fawning look back towards the inside of the car...

"Could it be... could there be someone else in the car?"

Jin Ya was bewildered by the thought, and his henchmen just stared dumbfounded...

They had followed Jin Ya for a long time and knew the standing of his brother Jin Chi in the Provincial City!

So they knew he wouldn't fawn like this for no reason...

...

"It looks like a VIP has shown up, huh."

Thinking this, they all subconsciously tensed up.

Soon, they saw a person with a stern face get out of the car!

The moment they clearly saw his face, they all inhaled sharply!

Because they recognized him instantly, this man was none other than Sun Fuan's Secretary, Wang An!

"My goodness, no wonder brother was so respectful!"

"Yes!"

"It turns out to be Secretary Wang of Sun Fuan!"

They all knew that this Wang An was held in great trust by Sun Fuan, so in the entire Provincial City, he was absolutely a big shot not to be messed with!

After the shock, Jin Ya muttered hoarsely, "Strange, what would such a top-level big shot be doing here?"

Hearing Jin Ya's mutterings, the subordinates thought hard, but no matter how much they thought, they couldn't figure out any reason!

While they continued to be amazed, Wang An, who had slightly adjusted his clothes, quickly made his way towards Hu Xiaobei's fruit and vegetable specialty store.

"This..."

Seeing Wang An walk straight towards Hu Xiaobei's fruit and vegetable specialty store, they all knew who Wang An was here for...

Their mouths twitching fiercely, they heard footsteps and looked up to see Hu Xiaobei and Guo Meiyu coming out of the store...

"Secretary Wang!"

After coming out, Hu Xiaobei spotted Wang An and quickly greeted him!

Previously, when Hu Xiaobei had a chat with Sun Fuan, he had learned some information about Wang An from Governor Sun himself.

After returning, Hu Xiaobei had also specifically looked up some information on him, so he recognized him at first glance.

"Xiaobei! Hello! Congratulations on the opening!"

"Ha-ha! I hope your good words come true! Also, thank you for coming here in person!"

"It's nothing. Governor Sun originally wanted to come himself. But yesterday, he had to go out of town for a last-minute study session. This morning, as soon as it was light out, he called me and made sure I came here to congratulate you! So here I am, hope I'm not too late."

"Not at all! I've just opened."

"That's good."

With a laugh, he gestured...

At that moment, Jin Chi, standing behind Wang An, quickly fetched two flower baskets...

Hu Xiaobei glanced at the two flower baskets and quickly had people take them inside.

Afterward, Hu Xiaobei led Wang An into the store...

"Am I seeing things?"

"Yes! Isn't this... Isn't this too exaggerated?"

"Right, Sun Fuan's secretary actually showed up in person and even sent flower baskets on behalf of Governor Sun..."

As Hu Xiaobei led Wang An inside, everyone present whispered among themselves in sheer shock...

Wang An's arrival had completely astonished everyone, as they all knew about Wang An's status in the province...

Before, the arrival of the provincial television station's broadcast van for a live broadcast across the province let them know that Hu Xiaobei had quite the network in Provincial City!

Now, when Wang An appeared, they realized that Hu Xiaobei's connections were not just some; they were terrifyingly extensive, one might even say omnipotent!

"Truly amazing, Master Xiaobei!"

"Yes!"

Everyone sincerely marveled, continuing to queue up diligently…
