I was a conman in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 250 Unexpected Disaster

Chapter 250 An Unexpected Disaster

Wang Wenzhou, Sheng Lan, and Gao Guilan went shopping at the flagship store of Hanshan Supermarket.

While in Hanshan, most of the locals knew Wang Wenzhou. He rarely went out, because wherever he went, he would be surrounded by onlookers, much like a celebrity in later generations. In Nanjing, however, Wang Wenzhou only made one public appearance, and apart from nobles, very few people recognized him.

Hanshan Supermarket is a shopping and leisure venue that integrates eating, drinking, playing, and entertainment. Wang Wenzhou and his babies had a lot of fun there.

Sheng Lan carried Zhang Xiaohua everywhere she went, much to Wang Wenzhou's dismay. He felt that his beautiful girl had been stolen away by this little rascal Zhang Xiaohua.

"Waaaaah..." Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua in Sheng Lan's arms started crying again.

Sheng Lan glanced at it and said with a smile, "The baby has wet the diaper again. I'll go change the diaper."

"Okay." Wang Wenzhou nodded and instructed, "Zhu Yi, you take some men and protect Lan Lan and the young master. Once Lan Lan is settled, you can come to Hanshan Hot Pot City to find us."

"Yes!" Zhu Yi nodded and followed Sheng Lan with four sedan chair carriers.

Wang Wenzhou put his arm around Gao Guilan, put his hand inside her clothes, and walked towards the hot pot restaurant.

"Bang!" Someone walked over from the opposite side and bumped into Wang Wenzhou, causing him to stumble.

Wang Wenzhou frowned, glanced back at the man, and said softly, "What kind of person is he! Doesn't he watch where he's going?"

Gao Guilan frowned and said, "Uncle, you're pinching me too hard!"

Wang Wenzhou quickly patted her gently a few times and said apologetically, "Xiao Lanlan, this is not my fault, it was that person who bumped into her."

"Oh no!" Gao Guilan suddenly screamed, exclaiming in surprise, "Uncle, something terrible has happened! Your jade pendant is gone!"

Wang Wenzhou reached for his waist and, sure enough, the jade pendant was gone. That person must have been a thief. Damn it! How dare they steal from me on my turf? They don't want to live!

"Stop thief!" Wang Wenzhou shouted and chased after the man.

Wang Wen grabbed the man's arm and said angrily, "How dare you steal my things!"

Yu Honghui glanced at Wang Wenzhou and said disdainfully, "Who are you? Who stole your things? Have you no shame?"

"Stop thief! Come quick, catch the thief!" Gao Guilan shouted as she ran over.

Yu Honghui shouted, "Let go!"

"Damn it!" Wang Wenzhou was very annoyed. What the hell? This thief is so arrogant? This is my territory. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know how to behave.

At that moment, three security guards walked over.

The leader spoke up and asked, "Gentlemen, what is the reason for your argument?"

Wang Wenzhou grabbed Yu Honghui's arm and wouldn't let go, angrily saying, "This man is a thief! He just stole my jade pendant!"

"Pah!" Yu Honghui cursed, "He's shameless! I don't even know him, and he's already accusing me of stealing! It's outrageous!"

Because of the argument between Wang Wenzhou and Yu Honghui, a group of customers quickly gathered around.

Qu Yongning, the security captain of this shopping area, said, "Gentlemen, there are so many people here, and you are affecting the normal shopping of customers. Please come to my office with me. We can talk about this there."

Wang Wenzhou nodded and said, "You all have to keep a close eye on him and not let him get away."

Yu Honghui scoffed, "I'm not a thief, why would I run? You're just a conman trying to scam me!"

Wang Wenzhou sneered, "Damn thief, just wait and see how I deal with you."

"Little Lanlan, let's go!" Wang Wenzhou put his arm around Gao Guilan and followed Qu Yongning to the office.

Once inside the office, Wang Wenzhou plopped down in his chair.

Qu Yongning pointed at Wang Wenzhou and said angrily, "Who told you to sit down? Stand up!"

"Damn it!" Wang Wenzhou was furious. "I'm the victim! What kind of attitude is this?"

"Do you know who I am?" Wang Wenzhou asked, his brows furrowed.

Qu Yongning said disdainfully, "Do you know who I am? You damn liar, daring to stage an accident at Hanshan Supermarket! Men, beat me up!"

Several security guards grabbed Wang Wenzhou and gave him a good beating.

"Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him!" Gao Guilan cried out, tears welling in her eyes, as she shielded Wang Wenzhou.

These security guards still had some humanity; they didn't hit Gao Guilan, they just pushed her aside.

"Xiao Lanlan, go quickly and call for help!" Wang Wenzhou said hurriedly.

"Hmph!" Qu Yongning said disdainfully, "Go and call your accomplices over. In a moment, I'll send you all to jail! You dare to cheat people at Hanshan Supermarket without even asking who owns it?"

Gao Guilan grabbed the security guard's arm and pleaded, "Stop hitting him! Please, please stop hitting the police!"

Wang Wenzhou repeatedly winked at Gao Guilan and said, "Little Lanlan, go and call for help! Don't worry, I won't die for now!"

"Mmm!" Gao Guilan, seeing that she couldn't persuade the security guard, had no choice but to go out crying and call for help.

"Crackling sounds..." In no time, Wang Wenzhou was beaten black and blue, and squatted on the ground holding his head.

"Big brother! Stop hitting me! Can't we talk this out?" Wang Wenzhou was really scared of being beaten. A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. When my men arrive, I'll get my revenge.

Qu Yongning took out a blank sheet of paper and said, "Alright, let's take a statement now. What's your name?"

"King Wen of Zhou." Wang Wenzhou finally understood. It was possible the thief and these security guards were in cahoots. He dared not reveal his identity; if these idiots killed him to silence him, he would be the one who suffered the most injustice.

Qu Yongning continued, "Tell me, how did you commit the fraud?"

"Screw you! I'm the victim! My jade pendant was stolen!" To avoid getting beaten up, Wang Wenzhou had no choice but to continue making up a story based on Qu Yongning's version of events.

Where is Xiao Lanlan? Hurry and bring people to rescue me! Wang Wenzhou cried out in his heart.

After leaving the office, Gao Guilan went directly to Zhang Shize.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shize realized that Wang Wenzhou had been caught by his own security guards and given a severe beating, his face turning red to his neck. What kind of mess was this? He'd really lost face.

Zhang Shize and his men rushed to the office.

Qu Yongning was completely stunned. What was going on today? Security chief Li Shufu, Hanshan Supermarket manager Zhao Zhengxi, and even young master Zhang Shize had come.

"Young Master, you've arrived? I'm currently interrogating a fraudster, and he's already confessed and signed the document. Please take a look." Qu Yongning handed the confession to Zhang Shize.

"Slap!" Zhang Shize slapped Qu Yongning across the face.

"Boxin, it's all my fault! Don't be angry!" Zhang Shize quickly squatted down, trying to help Wang Wenzhou up.

Wang Wenzhou shoved Zhang Shize aside and cursed, "Zhang! This is your subordinate? How do you manage him? Your security guards are colluding with thieves! And they're even framing the victim!"

Qu Yongning's face turned pale, her vision went black, and she fainted.
