One of the men came at Lee He Song with his fist swinging at his face.

Another one came from the side, giving him a side kick.

It was, however, not something that he couldn't deal with.

Taking a step back, he dodged the kick coming at him and he used his hand to pull the man's leg forward, making the man lose his balance and fall to the ground.

The man with his fist coming at Lee He Song tripped onto his compatriot on the ground, and he tumbled onto the ground.

When the burly man saw what had happened, he changed his plan.

"Stop!" He raised his hand and his subordinates stopped where they were.

"I don't know how this liar managed to fool my men when they received the rice.

"You are lucky that I'm magnanimous."

The burly man pointed at Hun Xiong Kun and continued, "Replace the rice that you've delivered yesterday, and I shall let you off."

Hun Xiong Kun frowned and glanced over at Lee He Song.

He didn't have any other rice suppliers that were willing to do so other than Lin Xuan Qi.

So, his only hope was that Lin Xuan Qi would be able to help provide more rice to him.

Lee He Song nodded his head at Hun Xiong Kun.

It was what he had come here for.

He came over to Hun Xiong Kun and whispered, "We can now supply thirty more kilograms of rice per day."

Having the assurance from Lee He Song, Hun Xiong Kun sighed a huge sigh of relief.

He glanced over to the burly man and said, "I will deliver the rice later within the next two days to make up for it."

The burly man narrowed his eyes and said surprisingly, "You better do what you promised!"

He waved his hands and shouted at his men, "Come, let's go."

Hun Xiong Kun's men mumbled as the men got further away.

They were sure that they had checked the rice before delivering it to Lee Zhen Ren's men and their men checked.

That burly man was definitely trying to frame Hun Xiong Kun.

"Stop the chatter and get back to work." Hun Xiong Kun ushered them away.

He turned back to Lee He Song and bowed to him.

"Thanks so much for the help. I wouldn't know what to do next."

"Don't thank me. I'm here under the instruction of Master Lin."

Hun Xiong Kun nodded and said, "Please let your master know that I shall pay him a visit soon, to thank him."

"I will let him know. Master Lin has sent me to inform you of price changes."

"As it should be." Hun Xiong Kun wasn't surprised with it now that there would be more rice delivery every day.

He quickly invited Lee He Song into the guest room to discuss the details.

Servant girls helped make and poured tea for Hun Xiong Kun and Lee He Song before they left the guest room.

"Please." Hun Xiong Kun picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Lee He Song did the same and had a mouthful.

"I think those behind the burly man are getting impatient, you should get prepared." He said as he put down the teacup.

"I know. It's frustrating how they do business here. I came here with the best intentions to trade and build up my business..."

Hun Xiong Kun couldn't help it but gave out a huge sigh.

It wasn't like this where he came from.

Business here is apparently being controlled by a few powerful clans.

And worse of all, these men under Lee Zhen Ren were involved with these clans.

Lee He Song wasn't too interested in what Hun Xiong Kun was facing. He had seen it being played out so many times in his life.

His only concern now was with Lin Xuan Qi, Yue Jie and Yue Xin.

Lin Xuan Qi was an interesting young man, and he wanted to see how far he could go. He was surprisingly talented.

Martial arts, poems and inventions.

He had seen young masters full of words and not able to deliver any of it.

Lin Xuan Qi was the other way around so far.

"Master Lin would like to ask for an increase of six taels of silver. We will supply you with thirty more kilograms of rice per day."

Hun Xiong Kun put down his teacup and shook his head.

"Is it too much for you?" Lee He Song frowned and asked.

"No. I'm willing to give twenty-four taels of silver for the delivery of rice monthly."

Hun Xiong Kun was willing to pay more just for the help that Lin Xuan Qi had given.

He wasn't one to not reciprocate others' kindness.

"I shall inform the good news to Master Lin." Lee He Song said and he stood up.

...

Su Clan mansion.

Su Chen and Wu Tong sat with their servant girls giving them back massages.

In the room with them was the burly man who was at the Chang Fu Rice Store.

"Master Su, I've done what you've instructed.

"That Lee He Song is good, but certainly not someone that my seniors couldn't take care of.

"Time for you to deliver your part of the deal."

Su Chen nodded and waved his hand at one of his servants.

The servant went out of the room.

As he waited, the burly man took the opportunity and said, "Master Su, don't hesitate, I can ask my senior martial brother to wreak havoc at the Lin mansion."

Su Chen glanced over at Wu Tong.

Wu Tong had his eyes closed and was enjoying the massage on his back.

He pointed at his shoulders, and his servant girl began to massage his shoulders.

"Ah..." Wu Tong gave out a long sigh.

"Well..." Su Chen was impatient and he asked again.

Wu Tong opened his eyes and glanced at the burly man.

"How confident are you?"

"Very." The burly man replied.

With the burly man's confirmation, Wu Tong glanced over at Su Chen, who was sitting beside him and said, "I think it's safe for us to let that Master Lin know who runs things here in Hong Feng City."
