Chapter 715 - 713 Something is Not Right
The ten or so burly men were tall and nearly filled the entire front hall. There were four guards from Duke An’s Mansion behind Qi Younian, while another four stood to either side.
When Ye Xinyan stepped out, her presence immediately attracted the attention of many people in the front hall.
The gaze of those troublemaking strong men towards Ye Xinyan was indifferent, showing no surprise at the sudden appearance of a woman in what had been an exclusively male assembly.
Ye Xinyan’s eyes flickered. They must have thoroughly investigated their opposition and come prepared, right? If that was the case, then there must be more to their disturbance than mere competition between peers, perhaps some other reasons were involved.
Fearless even of Duke An’s Mansion’s people, their backing must be very strong. Could it be that even if they took the chaos as an opportunity to give Miss Ye a severe beating, they’d only face superficial punishment in the end, then receive enough silver to find another place and live the good life from there on?
Qi Younian, seeing that the men had no special reaction to Ye Xinyan’s presence, felt somewhat relieved.
It seemed the leader continued to shout, "We know you’ve got backing, but just having backing doesn’t mean you shouldn’t leave a way out for others, right? By setting up these two big signs here, aren’t you luring all the patrons into your Guangsha Construction, leaving us little alley businesses no way to support our families and make a living?"
Qi Younian once again clasped his hands in a polite gesture, replying with a pleasant expression, "Brother, being a craftsman is in itself a kind of business, and it’s all about using one’s skills. No one is hindering our brothers from opening shops on the streets, are they? Besides, Guangsha Construction doesn’t have the capability to monopolize every single project in the entire world."
