Chapter 189 — Smash It on the Spot - "Young Man... You... What Do You Want", Zhang Biaogan Stammered, His Arrogance Gone and His Face Deathly Pale

The barbecue woman and the gloomy-faced lanky man clearly recognized Wei Zhao too. Last week on the snack street, the notorious young master who had slapped Bu Ruoming so hard he dared not fight back, who did not know him!

Such a commanding figure, who had not heard of him? And then there was his follower... Zhang Biaogan's gaze suddenly froze. Seeing Kang Xiaobo's face, he suddenly remembered the student who had spoken to him at noon. Was that not Kang Xiaobo?

He was Wei Zhao's follower? Then what did they have to do with Tang Ji Barbecue... Suddenly, Zhang Biaogan thought of a miserable fact. The reason Wei Zhao had slapped Bu Ruoming last time was none other than Tang Yun!

And who was Tang Yun? The daughter of the woman who ran Tang Ji Barbecue. Had Wei Zhao come this time to stand up for mother and daughter? At that possibility, Zhang Biaogan went limp with fright, all color draining from his face... How could he have overlooked something so important?

He had assumed the Tang Ji Barbecue family had no man left and could be bullied at will, but who would have thought their man had arrived, and such a ruthless one at that!

"You want the recipe, is that it?" Although Wei Zhao felt some sympathy for these small vendors earning their hard money every day, sympathy was no excuse for bullying people. Tang Yun's mother also earned her living with her own two hands, without stealing or robbing, yet when they saw Tang's mother making money, they came to make trouble and tried to force the recipe from her. That kind of behavior made Wei Zhao furious.

"Ah, no, I don't want it anymore, I don't want it, I was only joking." How would Zhang Biaogan dare to want it now? In his eyes, these rich young masters could beat him for nothing. Even Bu Ruoming, who had a gangster boss behind him, had been beaten for nothing. Could he possibly be tougher than Bu Ruoming?

"I gave them the recipe. If you want it, I can give you a copy too." Wei Zhao let go of Zhang Biaogan, and Zhang Biaogan, unsteady on his feet, sat down hard on the ground.

"No, I really don't want it..." If Zhang Biaogan were still thinking about the recipe at a moment like this, his brain would have to be broken.

"If you don't want it, then what are you doing here? Crowding around someone's stall to watch the fun?" Wei Zhao sneered, sweeping his gaze over the vendors who had been watching the show.

Toward these people Wei Zhao felt little resentment. Zhang Biaogan was an old-timer here, and they could hardly refuse to back him to speak up for Tang Yun's family, so Wei Zhao had never intended to make trouble for them. Still, giving them a good scare today would do, so they would not think the Tang family had no one left and could be bullied without restraint in the future.

Swept by Wei Zhao's gaze, the vendors were badly frightened and hurriedly scattered back to their own business. This was no show worth watching. One wrong move and the fire would spread to them.

"You two, don't leave." Wei Zhao pointed at the barbecue woman and the tall thin man who were about to slip away with the crowd.

"No... it has nothing to do with us, it was Zhang Biaogan's idea..." The barbecue woman had lost her fire by now. She was clearly one who bullied the weak and feared the strong, and seeing how ruthless Wei Zhao could be, she instantly turned cautious.

"Yes, it was Zhang Biaogan's idea. He just called the two of us over..." the tall thin man said.

"Whatever he tells you to do, you do? Then whatever I tell you to do, you will do too?" Wei Zhao shot back.

"Well..." The barbecue woman did not know what Wei Zhao meant by that, but she played along anyway: "Young man, what do you want us to do..."

"Neither of you will sell barbecue starting tomorrow. Change trades. Any problem with that?" Wei Zhao rolled his eyes and reassigned their livelihoods on the spot.

"Well..." The barbecue woman and the tall thin man looked at each other. They wanted to object but did not dare. Who knew if Wei Zhao might suddenly turn on them?

"Xiaobo?" Having said that, Wei Zhao ignored the two accomplices and called back over his shoulder to Kang Xiaobo.

"Boss, I am here, you called me?" Kang Xiaobo ran over excitedly. Awesome, that was truly awesome. Although Kang Xiaobo was only a follower, watching the whole thing unfold behind Wei Zhao had set his blood boiling.

"Go smash up his stall." Wei Zhao pointed at Zhang Biaogan and said to Kang Xiaobo.

"Got it!" Kang Xiaobo nodded and walked toward Zhang Biaogan's stall. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he kicked the stall hard and sent it crashing over. Charcoal, skewers, the cash box, everything scattered messily across the ground...

Still not satisfied, Kang Xiaobo stomped on the grill frame again and again, twisting it completely out of shape. Trying to use it again would be basically impossible...

Zhang Biaogan's heart was bleeding, yet he did not dare utter a single word of protest... Smashing a stall was nothing. What if they smashed him next? Last time Bu Ruoming had been beaten so badly he could not get out of bed for days. This Lin Guo... Just thinking about it broke Zhang Biaogan out in a cold sweat.

"That's enough." Wei Zhao waved Kang Xiaobo back, signaling he could return. Then Wei Zhao turned to Zhang Biaogan and said: "This time it is the stall. Next time it will be you. Your spot is pretty good. From tomorrow, hand it over to Tang Ji. Any objections?"

"I... I have no..." Zhang Biaogan could only nod. What else could he say? The man had made it perfectly clear. This time the stall, next time the person. If he dared say no, they would probably start on him right away and keep at it until he agreed...

"You seem obedient enough, so Tang Ji's old spot is yours. Starting tomorrow, you sell something else." Wei Zhao changed Zhang Biaogan's trade as well: "No problem with that?"

"Fine, I will change, I will definitely change." Zhang Biaogan nodded. With his grill smashed to pieces, he could not carry on anyway. Being made to switch trades was not so bad.

Even if Wei Zhao let him keep selling barbecue now, he would not dare. If he competed with Tang Ji for customers and that demon Wei Zhao came back to smash his stall again, who could stand that?

"Xiaobo, when you have time tomorrow, come take a walk around and see if they have all switched trades. If not, smash them on the spot." Wei Zhao gave Kang Xiaobo his orders.

"No problem, Boss, leave it to me. This is my specialty!" Kang Xiaobo nodded, grinning as he looked at the barbecue woman and the tall thin man...

The last shred of hope in those two was shattered. If they did not want to get smashed tomorrow, they would have to switch trades. They rather regretted listening to Zhang Biaogan's sweet talk about getting the recipe and splitting it three ways... Now that even their trades had been taken away, what use was a recipe?

Naturally Wei Zhao did not really mean for Kang Xiaobo to come patrol. It was only to frighten them. He did not have that much free time. As for Zhang Biaogan, Wei Zhao felt not the slightest sympathy. He had entirely brought it on himself.

Hopefully he would learn his lesson from now on.
