The main reason for his coma was that he ate excessively and was physically weak, so he could not withstand the slightest stimulation.

The doctor prescribed some sedatives, and Mrs. Jin found some Tianxian Pills at home and gave them to her husband, which calmed him down a little.

When Manager Liu opened his eyes, his first thought was to get rid of his identity as the manager of Shanyue Tower. He still remembered clearly what the Tiger and Crane duo said last night.

This experience seemed to be the work of the God of Destiny himself, which engraved a profound lesson deep in his soul and made him completely restrain his former arrogance and unruliness.

However, personal epiphany does not mean forgiveness from the outside world. How could the young master of the Dong family, with his eagle-like eyes, easily let go of a former minion?

Shanyuelou, the leading restaurant in Chengguan County, hides countless unknown secrets behind its splendor.

Shopkeeper Liu knew very well that in order to maintain this honor, the father and son who owned Shanyue Tower had made many secret moves and used all means to suppress competitors, causing many of their peers to withdraw in despair.

And it was precisely by relying on the ruthlessness and determination that he shared with the boss and his son that he climbed up step by step to the throne of the shopkeeper.

But now, when he tried to extricate himself and turn over a new leaf, the disappearance of that ruthlessness was undoubtedly cutting off his own retreat. How could the Dong family and his son tolerate a chess piece that was no longer useful continuing to occupy a key position?

Mrs. Jin's worries were as heavy as the night. When she learned about the thrilling scene that happened last night, she couldn't help but feel terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

She thought that perhaps only with the help of the government could the mysterious Tiger and Crane duo be brought to justice.

However, Manager Liu just smiled bitterly and shook his head, with a hint of helplessness and determination in his eyes: "They have warned me that if I dare to step into the county government, the next time, I will be greeted with the end.

Forget it. I have accumulated some wealth in Shanyue Tower over the years. It is better to let it go and move the whole family to the capital. There are at least soldiers from the imperial court guarding there, which should be more peaceful than Chengguan County."

Although the housing prices in the capital are high, the relative security and more opportunities give the couple new hope.

There are many restaurants there, and perhaps a brighter future can be found there.

Having made up his mind, Manager Liu did not hesitate at all and quickly submitted his resignation to the boss's young master.

The young master's reaction was unexpectedly calm. He did not show any intention of trying to keep him and readily approved his request.

In fact, the young master had already begun to think of replacing his confidants for the increasingly old and less brilliant Manager Liu.

Manager Liu's many years of contribution to Shanyue Tower and the appreciation of his former boss are the only reasons why he can still sit comfortably in the position of manager.

Now that Manager Liu has taken the initiative to resign, the young master is naturally happy to go along with it.

However, the sudden resignation of Manager Liu still planted the seeds of doubt in the young master's heart.

After some secret investigation, rumors about the Tiger and Crane heroes gradually surfaced.

The young master sneered contemptuously, his disdain was evident in his words: "This old guy must have been used by someone. How could I not know about the slightest movement in the martial arts world? Those so-called martial arts heroes are just trying to gain fame by taking advantage of Manager Liu's affairs."

The young master soon forgot about this little matter. While his old boss was away in the city to discuss business, he couldn't wait to promote his trusted manager Ding to be the new head of Shanyue Tower.

Knowing that the Zhang family's mysterious instant noodle recipe is still not in his hands, the young master orders Manager Ding without hesitation to put the Zhang family's business into a desperate situation at all costs.

This was not out of interest in instant noodles themselves, but because the Zhang family's non-cooperation touched the young master's reverse scale and challenged his authority.

Shopkeeper Ding is young, promising and handsome, far superior to his predecessor, Shopkeeper Liu. However, in private, he is even more cunning and vicious than Liu.

As soon as he took office, he was eager to show his ability. He inquired about the Zhang family's news everywhere and plotted how to make the Zhang family disappear without a trace in Chengguan County.

However, just as he was getting ready to make his move, an urgent call from the young master interrupted his plans the next morning.

Shopkeeper Ding thought that the young master was in a hurry to achieve success, so he assured him confidently when they met: "Young master, don't worry, I have a foolproof plan. Within three days, the Zhang family will hand over the secret recipe to us, and we don't need to spend a penny!"

I thought this answer would satisfy the young master, but I didn't expect the young master's reaction to be so shocked and flustered: "Who allowed you to provoke the Zhang family? Absolutely not! From now on, no one is allowed to do anything improper to the Zhang family. And for what Manager Liu did before, we must compensate each family one by one, fifty... no, one hundred taels of silver! Shanyuelou must be fair to everyone, the dishes must be sufficient, and there must be no fraudulent behavior towards customers!"

Shopkeeper Ding's pupils suddenly contracted. He had followed the young master for many years and knew the other's greed and cruelty very well.

At this moment, hearing these words full of conscience from the young master's mouth was as incredible as a dream.

He hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Master, have you...changed your personality? Didn't we always act like this before?"

It has long been an open secret that Shanyuelou often short-changes customers. After all, it is rare to have a decent restaurant in a small place like Chengguan County, and most of the guests turn a blind eye to this.

The young master's sudden change made Manager Ding suspicious.

On the bed, the young master was wrapped in a quilt, looking nervous. He quickly told the truth: "Last night, I was captured by the Tiger and Crane Heroes. It turns out they really exist! They sternly warned me that if I continue to be so rich and unkind, they will take my life next time!"

The young master stretched out his arm, revealing several shocking wounds, which showed the horror and reality of what happened that night, and it was by no means an exaggeration.

Shopkeeper Ding took a deep breath and felt a chill in his heart.

The young master said firmly, without question: "You do as I say, and don't cause trouble for the Zhang family again!"

For him, his interest in instant noodles was just a passing whim, and the noodles tasted mediocre and nothing special.

The young master is not willing to sacrifice his comfortable life for a few common people.

Although Manager Ding was greedy for money, he also knew how to judge the situation. Faced with the young master's determination, although he had many doubts in his heart and was skeptical about the existence of the Tiger and Crane Heroes, he still obeyed the orders on the surface.

Thus, the Zhang family’s crisis was resolved dramatically.

As night fell and everything was silent, two dark figures quietly sneaked into the Zhang family courtyard. Zhang Siwa and Xiao Ting were prepared and hurried forward to hand over the carefully prepared food. An unknown contest seemed to have just begun...

The tall and short women gently pulled down the veil that concealed their true faces, just like the morning mist dispersing, revealing the gentle yet resolute faces of Xu Liyun and Wu Niang.

There was a hint of teasing in the corners of their eyes, and it was obvious that they were quite satisfied with the action just now.
