Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

The guests who arrived early in the morning were stunned when they saw the door that had been pried open.

The original roller shutter door was pried open and deformed, and the inside was a mess. The once bright glass counter was smashed to pieces.

The goods inside were thrown all over the floor and trampled on.

Diesel fuel was poured directly into the warehouse, and the pungent smell made people frown.

Customers who originally came here to buy things were all shocked when they saw this scene.

"What's going on? Has Friendship Supermarket been robbed?"

"It doesn't look like something a thief would do. Judging from their appearance, they probably have a grudge against them. Maybe they think these people are making too much money and they're here to take revenge?"

"That's true. If someone really wanted to steal something, why not just take the item instead of causing damage here?"

"This person's heart is truly filthy; he can't stand seeing others do well."

"Who says otherwise? It's a pity that these things can't be eaten anymore."

"We must call the police."

Everyone spoke up, wanting the police to come and take a look.

Seeing so many people gathered outside the supermarket, Hu Lili walked over carrying steamed buns. She noticed the people talking and heard them saying things like "damage" and "ruin".

Suddenly, I got a little anxious and quickly squeezed through the crowd to see what was happening. I burst into tears.

"Oh dear! Who did this?! How could they have smashed up this store?"

"Isn't this the salesgirl?"

"It really is her."

"Young lady, don't just stand there, hurry up and go call the police."

A middle-aged woman spoke up, saying, "Someone must be jealous of your shop to do this."

The others nodded in agreement, saying that it would definitely be like that; no one would do something so harmful and pointless if they didn't have a grudge.

The middle-aged man standing nearby quickly spoke up upon seeing this.

"Nizi, why don't you go check if anything's missing?"

"right!"

This sentence reminded her, and Hu Lili hurriedly tried to go in, but the roller shutter door was damaged, and she couldn't fix it by herself.

At that moment, the uncle who had just given the warning came over with a smile.

"Men, don't just stand by and watch, come and help out, lest the little girl cry."

"Here it comes, here it comes."

Several men worked together to push the roller shutter door up halfway, and Hu Lili went to the counter and opened the money box.

Then she breathed a sigh of relief. The money wasn't lost, but the shop was completely destroyed.

At that moment, Sui Tingting walked in, looking shocked. She couldn't believe that the shop, which had been perfectly fine yesterday, had been vandalized.

"Who did this?!"

"How did you end up making such a mess of the store?"

Listening to the chatter around her, Sui Tingting felt overwhelmed and had no idea how to respond.

Lu Yuan noticed something was wrong at this moment and rushed over. Seeing the situation, he shook his head helplessly and spoke up.

"Tingting, go call the police. Hu Lili, don't just stand there. Tell everyone to get out and not disturb the scene."

When Lu Yuan spoke, the two people who were initially at a loss seemed to have found their backbone and nodded in agreement, following his instructions and plans.

At this moment, Lu Yuan stood at the store entrance, looking at the customers outside, and said apologetically.

"I'm so sorry everyone, there was a slight problem at the store today, and we really couldn't serve you. We've wasted your time, and I'm truly sorry."

As he spoke, he bowed to everyone.

Seeing him say that, no one dared to say anything more.

"Boss, there's no need for this. We just wanted to buy something. There's nothing we can do about this kind of situation."

"That's right, we need to find the killer as soon as possible; we can't let them get away."

"We're still waiting to buy your stuff!"

Although the guests were a little disappointed, they still encouraged Lu Yuan to find the murderer as soon as possible.

After the guests had all left, Hu Lili sat at the door, looking at Lu Yuan who hadn't said a word, her face full of guilt.

"I'm sorry, brother, I..."

"What does this have to do with you? There will always be people who are jealous of our business success."

Lu Yuan smiled and turned to walk inside. In fact, besides the warehouse, there was a small room inside, which Lu Yuan used to sleep in, but now it had become a place to rest.

A moment later, Lu Yuan took out a USB drive. After seeing this, Hu Lili was stunned for a moment before belatedly asking a question.

"Brother, what are you holding?"

"It's nothing special, just an inconspicuous little gadget."

As he spoke, Lu Yuan smiled a little embarrassedly.

Looking at the shop, Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly and said.

"This time, we'll need our people to clean up the mess. It's not too troublesome, it just takes a little time to tidy up the current situation. But don't worry, if we work quickly enough, we can reopen for business tomorrow."

"So fast?"

Hu Lili was taken aback for a moment, and then spoke up in surprise.

Lu Yuan smiled and explained, "There's no need for renovations. We just need to clean the shop and put on new things. It's not as complicated as you think."

At this moment, Guan Jinhua walked over with a surprised look, looked at the situation in the shop, and said with a regretful expression.

"What a pity, how much money's worth of goods is gone? How could you be so careless as to ruin them like this?"

"Isn't this Sister Guan? Don't you live nearby? Have you seen anyone suspicious?"

Hearing this, Hu Lili frowned and looked at the person in front of her. She felt that Guan Jinhua was not right, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

However, Lu Yuan remained calm and showed no signs of anger.

Perhaps because of a previous conflict with Lu Yuan, Guan Jinhua shook her head gently with a slight smile on her face as she saw the shop smashed like this.

"I'd like to know, but who would go out in the middle of the night, right?"

Instead of asking me if I've seen him before, you should think about yourself. Have you offended someone, or have you incurred someone's jealousy?

Guan Jinhua said sarcastically.

She made no attempt to hide her joy, as if her business would improve as long as the road was too long to cross.

Hu Lili was a little unhappy when she saw this.

How can there be such a person who enjoys seeing others get into trouble?

Lu Yuan looked at the other person calmly, took a deep breath, and then slowly spoke.

"If Sister Guan isn't in a hurry, why don't you wait with us for a while?"
