93: Double-edged sword
Li Liangui smiled smugly, thinking that after this success, he would be even more unrestrained.
It seemed the last scolding was because he hadn't found a good enough reason; he needed to pay attention to this issue next time.
Xu Ning's face was expressionless. He turned to Xie Miao beside him and said, "Did you hear? Go open our freezer door and let them inspect it."
"Yes!"
Xie Miao glanced at them coldly, then turned and walked towards the freezer.
"You can't inspect it!" Manager Wang was extremely anxious.
Seeing this scene, Manager Wang could no longer restrain himself.
At this moment, he couldn't care less about the crowd around them. If Xie Miao saw what was inside the freezer, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In his desperation, Manager Wang snatched the police baton from a nearby security guard and swung it at Li Liangui.
"Ah!"
Li Liangui was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground, crying out in pain.
The sharp cries immediately echoed down the street.
"Cousin, are you crazy? Why are you hitting me?" Li Liangui shouted.
Everyone present was stunned and looked towards them.
Seeing that everyone's attention had been drawn, Manager Wang felt slightly relieved.
Several nearby security guards quickly stepped back a few steps, giving Manager Wang space.
But they were all a bit confused. Everything was fine a moment ago, so why did they suddenly start fighting?
Manager Wang, completely disregarding everything else, said, "Do I need a reason to hit you?"
"Honestly, you just embarrass me when you come out!"
"You're always causing trouble! Do you know we're in the service industry?"
"Customers are our livelihood!"
"Inspect what? You're just a security guard! Do you think you're the Police? What's there to be proud of!"
Manager Wang cursed as he swung the police baton, continuously hitting Li Liangui, who was in agony.
At this moment, Sun Ke quickly said, "Mr., I don't think the freezer door needs to be opened."
"I think this might just be a misunderstanding."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "It's alright, you can check if you want to."
The security guards exchanged glances and were about to step forward when they heard Sun Ke's cold voice say, "Let's see who dares to move!"
"We at Han Tuofu Cold Storage always emphasize integrity. We trust our customers, and our customers trust us."
"Manager Wang is right, customers are our God. What's wrong with entering a cold storage? It's not like entering a bank!"
"They were forced to do this, what else do you want?"
"Checking other people's goods is disrespectful to the customer!"
"If anyone breaks the rules today, get out immediately!"
All the security guards froze in place. This was the first time they had seen Sun Ke so angry.
Li Liangui's cries grew weaker and weaker; he was clearly beaten to the point of near unconsciousness. However, the police baton in Manager Wang's hand continued to fall on Li Liangui, leaving behind wound after wound.
Xu Ning watched this scene expressionlessly and said, "Since that's the case, can we first resolve the issue with our goods? We need a cold storage to store frozen mutton."
Realizing it was his turn to step forward, Manager Zhao quickly came forward and replied with a smile, "Of course you can. We happen to have a vacant cold storage nearby, just up ahead. Please come this way."
After speaking, he looked around and said sternly, "Why are you still standing around? What are you doing gathered here!"
The security guards did not dare to delay and immediately cleared a path for Xu Ning and his group.
Manager Zhao and Sun Bo led the way, while Xu Ning followed unhurriedly. As he passed by Manager Wang, Xu Ning stopped, looked down at Li Liangui struggling on the ground, and said:
"Enough, stop. Although this is your internal matter, if someone dies, the two of us, as ordinary delivery drivers, cannot bear the responsibility."
Hearing this, Manager Wang immediately felt a lot of pressure lift and quickly replied, "You are right, I will immediately arrange for someone to carry him away."
Xu Ning did not say anything more and followed Sun Bo directly. Xie Miao returned to the vehicle, started the engine, and slowly followed. Seeing this, the onlookers gradually dispersed and went about their business.
Manager Wang watched Xu Ning's departing figure, tightened and then loosened his grip on the police baton, and sighed helplessly. He realized that after this incident, his future might be over.
It was all because of himself. Last time, Li Liangui had similar behavior, but he only felt embarrassed and was focused on saving face in front of Manager Zhao.
He had never thought about restraining Li Liangui, and as a result, he became increasingly snobbish, losing the innocence he had when he was in the Rabbit Country.
When he brought him out initially, he thought it would broaden his horizons and be beneficial to him.
He didn't expect that it would turn into a double-edged sword!
Looking at Li Liangui, who was groaning in pain on the ground, he sighed, called two security guards, and planned to send him to the hospital.
"Oh... wah..."
Li Liangui, who had just been helped up, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. It seemed he had internal injuries from the beating.
He trembling reached out and grabbed Manager Wang's clothes corner: "Brother..."
Even now, he didn't understand where he had gone wrong to be beaten so badly by his own cousin.
He thought his performance was very good, being humble when seeing foreigners and arrogant when seeing people from the Rabbit Country.
Everyone did this, and he thought he had learned it well...
But why, why?
He really couldn't figure it out.
Manager Wang held his hand and said with a bitter smile, "Alas, it's my fault."
"I didn't teach you well."
"When you're better, we'll go back to our hometown and find that sense of innocence again."
...
The cold storage Manager Zhao mentioned was not far from here; they arrived shortly after walking.
The cold storage was divided into two parts, separated by two gates.
The outer part was the unloading area, without refrigeration equipment, used for loading and unloading goods.
The actual cold storage was inside. Only after opening the second gate did the cold air rush out.
As the outer gate slowly opened, Xu Ning followed Sun Bo inside.
As soon as he entered, he smelled a musty odor; it was clear this place hadn't been opened for a long time.
Looking around, he saw the warehouse was filled with goods covered in tarps, leaving only narrow passages that were barely wide enough for a person to pass through.
Only a wider path in the very center was left open, which could be used by vehicles for entering and exiting to unload goods.
Xie Miao, using his skilled driving techniques, easily backed the refrigerated truck into the designated spot.
Sun Bo still maintained his posture with his arms crossed, but he quickly gave Manager Zhao a look. Manager Zhao understood and immediately went out to check if the surroundings were safe.
After confirming no one was following, Manager Zhao returned and closed the gate. With a muffled thud, Sun Bo, who had been calm, suddenly became excited. He turned to Xu Ning and said, "You must be Mr. Xu sent from above, right?"
He then added, "I've already seen your photo and destroyed it immediately. Besides the few people here, no one knows your identity."
