Top-class Bodyguard

Chapter 1108 1084: The Last Straw That Broke the Camel's Back

The third floor of Lefujia Mall is a venue dedicated to high-end furniture, with dozens of domestic and international furniture brands stationed there.

Dadaqi is a furniture brand from Italy, said to have a history spanning hundreds of years. All its furniture is imported from Italy, made of solid wood and polished by hand. A single table or chair costs tens of thousands, with pricier pieces reaching hundreds of thousands, making it a brand pursued by numerous celebrities and dignitaries.

However, this large international furniture brand chain group, with annual sales in the billions, has encountered a crisis.

Under inspections by the relevant state departments, it was discovered that these exorbitantly priced pieces of furniture are not, as claimed, 100% produced in Italy. The materials used were not the prestigious solid wood Poplar Thorn Root claimed by Dadaqi, but rather high-polymer resin materials, particleboard, and MDF.

Upon inspection, the Dadaqi furniture purchased by consumers was even judged to be substandard products.

As soon as this matter was exposed, it once again caught the world's attention.

Countless media outlets and netizens criticized and condemned the unethical practices of immoral merchants, while some victims of deception stepped forward to protest, demanding compensation from Dadaqi for both their economic and reputational losses. — Who the hell would flaunt fake foreign goods to relatives and friends without feeling humiliated?

Originally, this was Dadaqi's problem and should have had nothing to do with Lefujia.

However, just at this time, an internal employee of Lefujia "spilled the beans."

During its investment attraction, Lefujia Mall had massively promoted Dada Fen and, despite knowing that they were not pure Italian imported furniture, still used this as a publicity stunt to deceive consumers into buying.

If it weren't for a large mall like Lefujia backing the brand's reputation, would there have been so many people fooled?

Soon enough, observant individuals connected Dadaqi's fake identity with the price deception experienced by Mrs. Liu, and all blame was directed towards Lefujia Mall.

Subsequently, media exposed that Mrs. Liu's children refused Lefujia's twenty thousand "hush money," demanding justice for their now demented mother.

"Mrs. Wang's tearful complaint: I too suffered the same price deception as Mrs. Liu—"

"Expired drinks sold at Lefujia Mall, relabeled and resold—"

"I found a fly in the milk I bought at Lefujia and they told me to perform an 'autopsy' on the fly—"

...

When the wall collapses, everyone pushes it; when in the well, everyone casts a stone.

Under the influence of a series of events, Lefujia has become perceived by the public as a greedy, dark, bloody, violent mall without virtue, darker than the Mafia.

A flurry of fists kills the seasoned master.

Undoubtedly, this was a deliberate, step-by-step, closely interlocked strategic attack, and the target of the punch was Lefujia Group, which had been recently reveling at the top of Yanjing Market in the retail industry.

Lefujia totters in the wind and rain, its nearly a hundred stores deserted, after three price reductions, still no one dares to shop there—of course, they wouldn't dare.

Because countless onlookers surround each Lefujia store entrance, and if they see you shopping out of a Lefujia Mall, they would definitely spit in your face.

...

"That woman is truly terrifying."

Murong Yan looked at the information on the table and shook her head.

"Yes, she got things done with so little given to her? Each link tight interlocked with the next, there's no doubt this time she's going to bite a piece off the Liou Family for sure." Another person also said.

Murong Yan's lips curled into a smile: "Once the Liou Family falls, that will be our opportunity."

...

Other members of the Yanjing Clan also watched this scene quietly; so far, no one has intervened, not even the Shen Family, who had always been close to the Liou Family, took any action.

Everyone silently watched Liou Rumei and the gigantic Liou Family fight and slaughter each other in the business arena.

This sudden assault, like a hurricane's attack, stunned everyone.

Liou Rumei, this woman, is indeed terrifying.

"Damn it, that bitch is so ruthless, one stab after another, really getting a kick out of it." Liou Zian furiously slapped the table with both hands, his fists clenched.

Liou Jianyun's face was also filled with worry: "If we can't break this trap, Lefujia is done for. We can hold out for a day or two, grit our teeth through ten days or half a month—but if we can't resolve the issue and no customers are willing to come, just the monthly rent will crush us."

"Moreover, if there's no business, those merchants who paid the admission fee won't agree either, and the breach of contract fees will be no small amount—this woman is stabbing us indeed, we're bleeding not blood but heaps of Huaxia Coin."

Liou Chuan Dian wrinkled his brow. Although the Liou Family is indeed a commercial giant, if Lefujia falls, the entire family will lose roughly a quarter of their income—and it's counted not in thousands or tens of thousands, but billions!

The annual profit from Lefujia, several billion, nearly ten billion, and that's conservative. If it truly collapses, the Liou Family will indeed suffer a vicious stab.

Liou Yujing sat there with a grim expression, not expecting Liou Rumei to have prepared so many steps, one after another, leaving the entire Liou Family struggling to breathe.

And it all happened so quickly, in just a few days, their whole retail industry was hanging by a thread.

"Now, there's only one way to change this situation." Liou Yujing said with a sigh.

"Yujing, do you have a way?" Liou Zian's eyes lit up.

"Second Uncle." Liou Yujing shook his head with a bitter smile, "My plan now is to have Lefujia sincerely apologize. This broken tooth, we can only swallow it. Thus, although our profits will be greatly reduced, at least we save Lefujia."

"What?"

Liou Zian furrowed his brow, and Liou Chuan Dian's face was also gloomy: "Yujing, is there no way to break this situation?"

Liou Yujing shook his head.

After a moment of silence, Liou Chuan Dian turned away: "Then do as Yujing suggests."

But just at that moment, panic-stricken voices were heard outside.

"Patriarch, Patriarch! Something bad has happened, something bad has happened!"

A servant rushed in, panic written all over his face, holding today's newspaper in his hand.

"What matter has you so flustered?"

"Pa-Patriarch."

The servant trembled as he handed the newspaper to Liou Chuan Dian. Glancing at it, Liou Chuan Dian felt his vision go black and almost fainted from anger.

"Father!" Liou Yujing hurried to support him, also glancing at the newspaper, his face went slack.

"It's over, Lefujia is finished."
