Father is a villainous Buddhist disciple? He'll just be beaten into the light of the righteous

When the boss brought in the teapot, the group was already seated in the lounge.

Shen Jiyuan quickly stood up, took the kettle from the shopkeeper, and thanked him with a smile.

He opened the bottle, tested the temperature of the water in the kettle, and only poured the warm water into the bottle to make the milk after it felt right.

His movements were stiff; it didn't look like he was making milk, but rather like Pan Jinlian preparing medicine for Wu Dalang.

Although the appearance and movements were quite creepy, at least the process was correct.

After rinsing, Shen Jiyuan pinched out a little bit, poured it onto the back of his hand, tested it again, and only handed it to Shen Ji after confirming that there was no problem.

Shen Ji held the baby bottle and started drinking it gulping down the milk.

Seeing that he was drinking heartily, Shen Jiyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Yang taught him how to make formula, and this was the first time he had ever done it by himself. He was afraid that he might do something wrong and burn the little rascal.

But it seems like nothing's wrong.

Shen Jiyuan said with relief, "It seems that Shen Ji is indeed not picky about food; he's happy as long as he has something to eat."

They are quite easy to care for.

Although his movements were stiff, the boss saw something more intriguing in them. A slight smile played on his lips. "Sir, who referred you?"

Shen Jiyuan raised his eyes without showing any emotion, a fleeting look of surprise passing through them.

That brat was right!

He held the baby bottle for Shen Ji with one hand, and placed the other hand on the table next to him, tapping the surface with his knuckles. "Boss, since you know why we're here, I won't beat around the bush."

"I certainly can't tell you who referred you."

"This is the rule, you should know that."

The boss's eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled. He nodded, "Since you know the rules, then... shouldn't you first show me your sincerity?"

Shen Jiyuan calmly replied, "That's natural."

After saying that, he raised his hand and made a five-point gesture, "Five-mile street, three coins, seven bills required."

The boss's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Sweet or spicy?"

Shen Jiyuan's gaze paused slightly, and he slowly withdrew his hand, saying, "Spicy."

"Broken?"

"Break!"

The boss suddenly stood up from his stool. "Okay, luckily I still have some stock. Same as always, desserts are 3,200, spicy dishes are 15,000. No transfer, cash only."

Shen Jiyuan nodded, "Okay, but I didn't dare bring this much cash with me when I came, so I'll need some time to get the money."

The boss paused, somewhat hesitant.

"Don't worry," Shen Jiyuan raised an eyebrow. "I'm with the child; what can I do?"

He pointed at Xing Zhong and said, "Boss, if you're really worried, I'll have my bodyguard go get the money. My son and I will wait here, how about that?"

"Besides, I need it urgently. If you can deliver the goods immediately, I'm willing to pay more."

The boss's hesitant expression eased. He remained silent for a while before gritting his teeth and saying, "Okay!"

"I'm only giving you half an hour. Cash on delivery!"

Shen Jiyuan smiled and said, "Okay."

He waved to Xing Zhong, "Go and get me some cash."

Xing Zhong glanced at him without showing any emotion, a fleeting hint of worry in his calm gaze.

Shen Jiyuan subtly shifted his gaze, "Go quickly and come back quickly."

Xing Chong pursed his lips, and finally turned and left the store.

After the man left, the owner, seeing that a large fish had arrived, naturally treated him with great hospitality.

Damn it!

Since that woman...

The cops have been keeping a really close eye on us lately.

His toy store hasn't been open for a long time, and with a kid dying at school, things have gotten even more tense, and he's almost starving.

Although the person in front of me doesn't seem like someone involved in this kind of thing, well... you can know a person's face but not their heart. Who knows what they're up to behind the scenes?

The coded messages and codes he just mentioned would be impossible for a buyer who wasn't a close acquaintance to know!

He has to catch this big fish.

"Sir, what do you do for a living?" the boss asked with a smile as he chatted with Shen Jiyuan.

Shen Jiyuan calmly replied, "In sales."

"That's a respectable job," the boss complimented. "The commission must be pretty high, right?"

Shen Jiyuan lowered his eyes slightly. "It's alright, I've made quite a bit of money, but this isn't..." He smiled meaningfully, "...the spending is too high."

"And with raising kids to do that, there's hardly any money left."

The boss naturally knew how expensive those things were. He chuckled and said, "Well, a man can't live just for his wife and kids."

"You should treat yourself better sometimes."

"Having a few hobbies is harmless, after all."

Shen Jiyuan nodded in agreement as if he had met a kindred spirit, "You're absolutely right. I don't smoke or drink, but this is my only hobby, and that's all I enjoy."

"But... sigh." He sighed and shook his head, "It's been very strict lately, I can't find a place to go."

"If it weren't for a friend introducing me to you, boss, I really wouldn't know what to do."

Seeing that he had taken the bait, the boss smiled and said, "That's easy."

The two were chatting in the lounge when, unexpectedly, someone knocked on the door.

The shopkeeper was taken aback. He remembered that he had already closed the door and put up the sign.

Moreover, less than ten minutes had passed; the bodyguard who went to get the money definitely wouldn't be back so quickly.

He frowned, instantly becoming alert.

"Please have a seat, sir. I'll go see who it is." He grinned and said, "Who is it that's knocking at this hour?"

Shen Jiyuan nodded. After the boss left, he quickly scanned the room and found a camera in the corner of the lounge.

There are surveillance cameras!

Without making a sound, he picked Shang Yao up and placed him beside him, then lowered his voice and whispered in his ear, "If anything happens later, just run outside and shout to get the school security guards!"

Shang Yao: "..."

Is this store really a rip-off?!

"Shen..."

"Don't ask why, just do as I say, or else..."

Before he could finish speaking, the door to the lounge was opened.

The boss walked in from outside with a forced smile. His gaze was different from his previous warm and obsequious demeanor; his eyes were now filled with a sinister and ruthless intent.

Shen Jiyuan subtly shielded the two little ones behind him.

He smiled and said, "Boss, where's your bathroom? Can I use it for a moment? I need to change my son's diaper."

The boss stared at him with a ruthless gaze for a while before saying, "There's no restroom in my shop; you'll have to go to the public restroom in the back."

"Go out the small door, turn left, and it's about 30 meters away."

Shen Jiyuan hummed in agreement, "Okay, thanks."

As he spoke, he stood up, took Shang Yao's hand with one hand, and pushed the stroller towards the back door with the other.

The back door of the toy store is separated from Jiaxiang International Primary School by only one wall. Behind it is a side alley of the school, and next to it is an old-style residential area.

The biggest drawback of older residential areas is that the roads are narrow and cluttered.

Although Shen Jiyuan was mentally prepared, his heart still sank when he came out.

Only one thought remained in his mind: This place is a perfect spot for murder and robbery.
