84 Chapter 84 Bravery

“Is this how you treat your guests?” Gu Chengrui asked with a smile.

After hearing this, Elder Qiao’s eyes narrowed, and then he calmly said, “You’re quite bold, aren’t you? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you?”

“If you wanted our lives, I don’t think we would be here.”

“You’re brave.”

“As someone who has died once, what else can’t he accept?”

Hearing this, Elder Qiao laughed. He knew he would not be able to gain any advantage with his words, so he said directly, “I heard that you have a braised recipe. If you hand it over, I can spare your lives and let you continue to sell tofu.”

“So you’re the one who’s been asking for the recipe for the braised intestines? May I know your name?” Gu Chengrui asked him back on purpose to test his temperament.



“You don’t know who I am?”

“I’ve never seen you before.”

“Hahaha… Interesting, you don’t even recognize your enemy. It seems that your father really doesn’t care about you.” After Elder Qiao said this, he stood up and said, “In that case, how about you come under my wing? I guarantee that you’ll be able to live a good life.”

“A person who doesn’t dare to say his name is not worth my loyalty.”

“You…” When Elder Qiao said this, he remembered that the recipe was Zhou Ying’s. Then, he flicked his sleeves and walked over to her with a smile. “Miss Zhou, if you follow this stubborn and silly boy, you won’t have a day where you can make a name for yourself. Why don’t you come with me and be my fourth wife?

“With your craftsmanship and my connections, we can make huge profits from our cooperation.”

“Since you know who we are, you should know that although our marriage was to wash away bad luck and married by imperial edict.” Zhou Ying turned her head and said with a blank expression.

In other words, their marriage was registered with the Emperor. Unless one party died, it would be valid for life.

This was also the main reason why the Gu family, including Gu Chengrui’s original body, insisted on keeping her even if they hated her.

When she looked at his oily, fat face, it was so disgusting that she had to look away after only one glance.

When Elder Qiao noticed the disdain in her eyes, he was furious, but he knew that she was telling the truth. His face darkened when he thought of this, and he said, “Since you don’t know what’s good for you, I won’t waste my breath on you. As long as you hand over the recipe, I’ll let you go. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”

“I’ve long heard that Elder Qiao has become arrogant and tyrannical. It seems that’s your true nature.” Gu Chengrui laughed.

“You’re really bold.” Elder Qiao said through gritted teeth.

“Men!” He shouted. “Tie them up and interrogate them. Let them go only after they tell us the recipe.”





As soon as he finished speaking, the man who had brought them in immediately rushed towards Gu Chengrui. However, as soon as he got close, Gu Chengrui threw him over his shoulder and slammed him to the ground. He grabbed his leg and dislocated his ankle to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.

At that time, the remaining three people also rushed in. After pausing for a moment, they all ran toward Gu Chengrui. Gu Chengrui was delighted when he saw this.

As long as they didn’t harass Zhou Ying, he would go easy on them. He didn’t hit them where it hurt, just avoided them and dislocated their arms and legs.

In the blink of an eye, only one of the three people was still standing, but he didn’t dare move forward.

Seeing this, Elder Qiao was also quite frightened. According to his investigation, Gu Chengrui should have been only a weak scholar. Elder Qiao did not expect him to know martial arts and, more importantly, to be so good at fighting.

Then, while his men were confronting Gu Chengrui, Elder Qiao turned his eyes to Zhou Ying, who was also watching the show. He quickly ran over and was about to grab Zhou Ying’s neck to threaten her.
