Chapter 6 - 3 Offences in a Row

　　If he allowed that paint to remain there, then it would make others feel that the Three Flavour Hall was about to close down, despite its bad business to begin with. Thus, he engaged a renovation company to repaint the walls, which they quickly responded.

　　Suddenly, the developer's party arrived at this moment and they started to shove the construction workers aside. It was a middle-aged man that led the team. Donned in a Chinese yellow gown with loose silk trousers and black leather shoes with a height at roughly 5'9". He was followed by a bunch of goons with tools in their hands.

　　"I am Mo Dong, representing the Hongsheng Group to negotiate about the demolition." The first impression from the middle-aged man was that he was a man with ill intentions hidden behind his face.

　　Su Tao had long guessed that the Hongsheng Group would send someone over. However, he stood firmly at the centre of the Three Flavour Hall's door as he replied, "Sorry, but I don't accept any negotiation. The Three Flavour Hall will not be demolished so you can leave now."

　　"Aren't you too arrogant? Boss Mo, let's show him some colour in revenge for Scar." One of the goons furiously yelled.

　　Mo Dong took a step back and waved his hand, commanding his goons to splash the wall of the Three Flavour Hall, instantly covering the wall in paint.

　　A construction worker couldn't bear this scene and wanted to obstruct them, but he suffered a kick to his head, resulting in a sc.r.a.pe wound on his forehead with blood flowing out.

　　"f.u.c.k, those who dare to interfere will die!" The goon roared arrogantly.

　　Su Tao knitted his brows as he entered the pharmacy and walked out with gauze, ethanol and sterilized cotton to dress the wound of that construction worker.

　　"If you don't agree to it, then I'll burn your entire house!" The goon that yelled earlier lifted a bucket with 'gasoline' written on it and saw that Su Tao wasn't willing to budge. It was a usual routine, commonly used to force others to comply.

　　He splashed the gasoline directly on the wall, and the spectators immediately moved back with shock written on their faces at this scene.

　　Cai Yan had also heard the commotion, so he rushed over from the antique shop and whispered to Su Tao. "Should I call the police?"

　　Su Tao sighed and bitterly smiled at her suggestion. "You can give it a try."

　　Cai Yan immediately took her phone from her pocket and dialled for police which Mo Dong and his group sneered upon seeing her action.

　　The phone rang for some time, but the other party did not pick up, which left Cai Yan furious. "They really have no regards for the law!"

　　Su Tao bitterly smiled. "They must have already made preparations so the police will not be here."

　　Cai Yan immediately felt indignant. "Officials and commerce colluding, simply a rotten nest!"

　　Seeing that Su Tao still maintained his composure, Mo Dong sighed before he stretched out his finger.

　　One of his men took out a lighter, lighting up a cigarette and threatened, "I'll give you another chance. If you're still stubborn, then we'll burn it and leave you with nothing."

　　Su Tao took two steps forth. The Three Flavour Hall was left to him by his grandfather, so he couldn't let those a.s.sholes burn it.

　　Just as he was about to make a move, a commercial black Buick GL8 drove over and stopped at the doors of the Three Flavour Hall. A western lady with a breathtaking height came out of the car.

　　She took her sungla.s.ses off her oval face, revealing her pale-white skin, sun-kissed blonde hair and heels, which factored into her height. She glanced at Mo Dong's party before smiling at Su Tao. "Tao, seems like I have come at the wrong timing."

　　Vera's sudden arrival surprised Su Tao. How did she manage to get discharged even before her illness stabilised?

　　Cai Yan glanced at Su Tao with a complex gaze, since she never thought that he would have a foreign friend.

　　Vera walked towards Su Tao, smiling as she waved the name card in her hand. "I was prepared to come and take a look at your pharmacy. Looks like you've encountered some trouble, do you need my help?"

　　Su Tao shrugged. "If you can deal with this, then… I'll treat you to a meal."

　　How could Vera really be concerned with a treat? However, her cheeks stretched, which revealed a smirk. "You better keep your promise."
