Rebirth Waste Strikes Back Part 1 (MTL)

Chapter 79 - I Can't Trust You

"Young Master, Bi Liuyun has news that someone has been investigating after the boss behind Allure Cosmetics." Qi Heng said.

"Hasn't there always been people investigating this? It's not a big deal!" Qi Shaorong said indifferently.

Qi Heng frowned and said, "It's different this time, it seems that it's the Second Prince who's carrying out the investigation."

Qi Shaorong looked at Qi Heng and said puzzledly, "The Second Prince, he's a prince, yet he still cares about our little business?"

"Young Master, our business has been developing very quickly and it has great prospects! Although the Second Prince is a prince, but isn't the one at the top still not dead yet?" Qi Heng said.

[T/n: He's either referring to the First Prince or the Emperor, I'm not really sure.]

Qi Shaorong narrowed his eyes. Being a prince might sound nice, but truthfully, it's not easy being one. Emperor Kangxi had so many princes [1], but not many of them actually died a natural death!

"The Second Prince, did he find anything?" Qi Shaorong asked.

"He found out about Liuyun." Qi Heng said.

Qi Shaorong rubbed his chin and said, "Really?"

"He seems to have also placed his suspicions on you, Young Master. The Second Prince seems to know that our Allure Cosmetics Store has one big boss and four smaller bosses, but he still hasn't confirmed who's who yet." Qi Heng said.

The big boss of Allure Cosmetics was Qi Shaorong himself. The four small bosses were Yi Fan, Bi Liuyun, Qi Heng, and Mu Tingxuan.

Qi Shaorong narrowed his eyes and said, "The Second Prince is someone who cares a lot about his reputation, so he probably won't just take it by force, right?"

Qi Heng shook his head and said, "That's difficult to say. In fact, the foundation of our business still isn't enough. If that weren't the case, then the scale of Allure Cosmetics could still be expanded to several times of what it is now."

Qi Shaorong smiled and said, "We can't do anything about it, our base just isn't strong enough! If we were to partner with those big families, perhaps there wouldn't even be any bones left after they're done with us." In the past, Qi Shaorong had also considered working together with the Qi Family, but as soon as this idea came up, Qi Shaorong rejected it.

Qi Heng looked at Qi Shaorong and said, "Young Master, what do you think we should do?"

Qi Shaorong shook his head and said, "We'll sit back and watch what happens first." The Allure Cosmetics Store has always been his main source of gold coins, but previously, he had won big at the major gambling houses. The Allure Cosmetics Store now wasn't as important to Qi Shaorong as it had been before.

Yi Fan's dormitory.

A man in black was lying on the ground. Yi Fan looked at the black-clothed person on the ground, squatted down, and smiled brightly. There was a hint of bloodthirstiness to his appearance.

"First it was Du Feng, then Lin Yong, I didn't expect the third person to be you–Yang Yi, it looks like Yang Man's predicament is worse than I thought! Even you, her own younger brother, was sent out, has she run out of people to use?"

Yang Yi looked at Yi Fan, and his eyes were full of deep panic.

Yi Fan gave Yang Yi's face a slap, "When I was younger, you'd always find people to beat me up, it must have been nice."

Yang Yi looked at Yi Fan with horror, and a dense flame ignited within Yi Fan's eyes.

Yang Yi was Yang Man's younger brother. After Yang Man officially married Yi Xun, Yang Yi's status also rose a lot. In order to curry favour with Yang Man, Yang Yi would always make trouble for Yi Fan.
