When Bing Tianyi was telling Captain Sun about the divination, he had guessed that if Captain Sun followed his advice, there might be a promotion coming soon. However, he did not expect things to develop so quickly.
Now, hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Bing Tianyi's face. He turned to the man beside him and asked, "You weren't implicated in anything, were you?"
"I was just lucky that day; I noticed something was off and slipped away. But I still ended up getting punished," the man replied with a wry smile.
"It wasn't serious, was it?" Bing Tianyi inquired.
"Not really, just a fine of a few hundred yuan."
In situations like this, Bing Tianyi knew that a few hundred yuan was relatively light. He smiled and was about to speak when the man said directly to him, "But after this incident, Captain Sun only spoke to me about it. You mustn't tell anyone else."
"Don't worry; I'm not that kind of person," Bing Tianyi said with a smile.
As soon as Bing Tianyi finished speaking, the man took out paper and a pen from his pocket, wrote down a series of contact details, and handed it to Bing Tianyi. Then he added with a grin, "Alright, if you have time today, go find him. I'll come looking for you tomorrow. I have some things to take care of now, so I’ll be on my way."
Bing Tianyi nodded. Feeling dejected as he left the Urban Management Bureau, he didn't want to go home yet and wandered around the streets instead.
By around seven in the evening, thinking of his parents made Bing Tianyi realize they must be worried about him. With this thought in mind, he hurried home.
Just as he reached near his front door, he saw Pang Yu, Zhao Qiang, and Wu Zhaojun walking towards him with their heads down.
"What are you guys doing here?" Bing Tianyi called out loudly from a distance.
Upon hearing Bing Tianyi's voice, Pang Yu quickly looked up at him and then quickened his pace. When he reached Bing Tianyi's side, he said directly, "Big Brother, we heard that your mother's stall was taken down, so we came to check on you."
"Thank you, brothers. Please wait here for me; I'll go home and be right back."
After a few people nodded in agreement, Bing Tianyi hurried home.
Upon entering, he briefly explained the situation with the Urban Management Bureau, and Father Bing sighed, saying, "As long as everyone is okay, we can earn money later."
Bing Tianyi nodded and then said, "A few of my classmates are still waiting outside for me. I'll go out and be back home shortly."
"It's late; be careful out there. And make sure not to do anything illegal," Father Bing said seriously to Bing Tianyi.
Hearing this, Bing Tianyi smiled sincerely and quickly nodded, saying, "Don't worry. With someone like me, what illegal things could I possibly do?"
Father Bing nodded, and only then did Bing Tianyi rush out.
At that moment, Pang Yu and the others were standing at a distance with cigarettes in their mouths, seemingly discussing something. When Bing Tianyi approached them, the group turned to him and directly asked, "Big Brother, what should we do about those who offended Uncle and Aunt today?"
Bing Tianyi smiled and took a step forward while quietly saying, "Let it go. The situation has developed to this point; when will the cycle of revenge end?"
As soon as he said this, Wu Zhaojun suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at Bing Tianyi with displeasure, saying, "Big Brother, you're mistaken—very mistaken."
"What do you mean by that?" Bing Tianyi also halted and replied with a wry smile.
"Think about it. The way they are treating you now is clearly against us at the Lion King Society. You might be able to endure it, but we brothers cannot."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bing Tianyi looked at the group and asked, "What? Are you planning to take a knife and kill them?"
"That's not what we mean. However, it's necessary to teach them a lesson," Wu Zhaojun continued.
"How do you plan to teach them a lesson?" Bing Tianyi asked further.
Although Bing Tianyi really felt like killing Huang Ke at the moment, he understood that Huang Ke had a special identity; after all, his father was the director of the Education Bureau here.
If he really did something to Huang Ke, it wouldn't matter if he was the only one affected. But if it involved his brothers, that would be a different story.
It's important to note that in this small county, there are over four thousand students each year, and only about twelve or thirteen hundred can get into the top high school. If his actions delayed their education, that would be a lifelong sin.
However, his brothers did not think as deeply as Bing Tianyi. They believed that if someone bullied Bing Tianyi, they were bullying them too. They felt it was necessary to teach the other party a lesson.
"Big Brother, I found out that this whole situation was caused by Su Qin, but the real culprit should be Huang Ke. Let's start with Su Qin; I know where she usually likes to go," Wang Peng said with a smile to Bing Tianyi.
Bing Tianyi sighed helplessly and said to Wang Peng, "Brother, I know you all mean well for me. But the situation is different now; I can't let my issues delay everyone's education."
The group was taken aback; they hadn't expected Bing Tianyi to be thinking of them. Touched, Wu Zhaojun exchanged glances with a few brothers and then spoke up, "Alright then, Big Brother, let's not mention this matter anymore."
A smile appeared on Bing Tianyi's face as he nodded in agreement.
As they walked along the road, Bing Tianyi kept thinking about today's events. After careful consideration, he turned to Wang Peng and asked, "Brother, you're the most knowledgeable among us. I want to know if there are any good rental places in the county."
"What do you need it for?" Wang Peng asked.
"I plan to rent a storefront for my parents so they can directly open a shop to sell Wontons," Bing Tianyi said with a smile.
Wang Peng scratched his head but quickly replied with a grin, "Big Brother, I have an idea for a place; I'll take you there right now."
Seeing Wang Peng's enthusiasm, Bing Tianyi and the others quickly followed him as they hurried ahead.
Soon enough, they arrived at Pedestrian Street in the county. Standing at the street corner, Bing Tianyi looked at Wang Peng and asked, "Brother, isn't it a bit risky to open a Dumpling Shop here?"
Although Bing Tianyi is not a businessman, he knows that Pedestrian Street is primarily filled with clothing and jewelry shops. If a unique restaurant were to open here, it might make a fortune. However, opening a Dumpling Shop, which can be found everywhere on this street, would only work if they charged twice the price of other shops for a bowl of Wonton; otherwise, they would be driven to bankruptcy by the rent.
Wang Peng, hearing this, smiled at Bing Tianyi and said, "Brother, I know this place isn't suitable for a Dumpling Shop, but I have another location in mind."
As Wang Peng spoke, he pointed across the street to a Rice Noodle Shop. Bing Tianyi glanced over and noticed a sign at the entrance of the Rice Noodle Shop advertising low rent.
"How's the rent over there?" Bing Tianyi asked Wang Peng with a slight frown.
"We can go ask and find out, but it shouldn't be as expensive as Pedestrian Street," Wang Peng replied with a smile.
Bing Tianyi nodded in agreement and led his brothers toward the Rice Noodle Shop. Upon entering, they found the shop owner resting his chin on his hands while watching television.
Hearing someone enter, he quickly turned around and asked the group, "Hello friends, what would you like to eat? We have stir-fried noodles, beef noodles, fish noodles..."
Before the shop owner could finish speaking, Bing Tianyi smiled and said, "Boss, I'm very sorry, but we're not here to eat. We just want to ask you how much you are asking for this shop."
"You want to buy my shop?" The owner looked at Bing Tianyi with a helpless smile.
Bing Tianyi nodded and replied, "That's the idea."
"The rent is about to expire soon, so that's not included in the price. The tables and chairs in the shop will cost you three thousand; plus there's a transfer fee of five thousand," the owner stated directly.
After hearing this, Bing Tianyi continued to inquire, "So how much is the annual rent for this place?"
"The rent is twenty thousand per year. Damn it! For such a lousy place, it still costs twenty thousand," the owner lamented.
Bing Tianyi was curious and asked, "Isn't this property yours?"
The shop owner smiled wryly and said, "If only I could do that, at least I wouldn't have to pay twenty thousand in rent every year."
"How's the income here?" Bing Tianyi continued to ask.
"You can see for yourself," the shop owner sighed helplessly.
Bing Tianyi stood firm, glanced into the room, and then turned to look outside the door.
When he saw the scene before him, a sly smile appeared on Bing Tianyi's face. He then said, "Boss, you can tear down the transfer notice at the entrance now; I've decided to open a shop here."
The shop owner was taken aback and looked at Bing Tianyi with a helpless expression, asking, "Little brother, what kind of shop are you planning to open here?"
"A Dumpling Shop," Bing Tianyi replied straightforwardly.
Upon hearing this, the shop owner's face was filled with a helpless smile. He then said to Bing Tianyi, "I mean, little brother, why choose this place to open a shop? Besides, there are dumpling vendors all over the street. If you open a shop here, I don't even know if you'll make enough to cover the rent for a year."
"Uncle, thanks for your concern. Brothers, does anyone have some cash on them? Give me two hundred," Bing Tianyi said directly to his companions nearby.
The group managed to scrape together five hundred dollars and handed it to Bing Tianyi.
After receiving the money from the shop owner, Bing Tianyi smiled and said, "Boss, consider this money as a deposit. I'll come back to see you within three days at the latest. Also, here's my contact address."
Saying this, Bing Tianyi took out paper and a pen from the counter and wrote down his residential address.
