Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

"Whatever his motives are, we can't just sit there and wait for him to die," He Daqing said firmly. "We have to confront him face to face to find out what he really wants to do."

That evening, He Daqing brought Yang Shumao and Zhao Yajing to Liu Wei's antique shop. It was a small shop with an old sign hanging at the door, which looked a bit shabby. The shop was dimly lit and had some messy antiques on display.

When Liu Wei saw them coming in, he showed an unnatural smile on his face: "Hey, isn't this Boss He? How come you have time to visit my humble abode today?"

He Daqing said coldly: "Liu Wei, we came here today to ask you why you called to slander our antique shop?"

Liu Wei's face changed, but he immediately regained his composure: "Boss He, you can't say that. When did I slander you?"

Yang Shumao took a step forward and said in a cold voice: "We have already found out that it was you who made the call. What else do you have to quibble about?"

Liu Wei was forced to be speechless, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Okay, I made the call, but I also heard it from others, and I didn't mean any harm."

"Did you hear it from others?" Zhao Yajing sneered disdainfully, "Then tell us, who told you that?"

Liu Wei hesitated for a while, and finally said helplessly: "It was a man named A Kang. He said that there was something wrong with the things in your antique shop, and asked me to call to warn you."

"Akang?" He Daqing frowned. He was not familiar with this name. "Where is he from?"

Liu Wei shook his head: "I don't know either. He is just a middleman. He said he has a way to make your business decline, so he asked me to make the call for him."

He Daqing pondered for a moment and made a decision. He said to Liu Wei, "Liu Wei, we'll let it go this time, but if it happens again, I will never let you go."

Liu Wei nodded repeatedly, his face pale: "Boss He, I will never do this again."

After leaving Liu Wei's antique shop, He Daqing was still in a heavy mood. He knew that this matter was not simple, and there was a bigger conspiracy waiting for them behind it.

Back at the courtyard, He Daqing called a meeting to discuss the next countermeasures in detail. Zhao Yajing suggested that the antique shop's resources and connections could be used to find out Akang's background and intentions. Yang Shumao suggested strengthening the store's management and security to ensure there were no loopholes.

In the next few days, He Daqing and his partners went all out to find clues about Akang. They visited many people in the industry and asked about Akang's background and origins. After some efforts, they finally got useful information.

Akang was originally a small antique dealer, but due to poor management, his business was bleak. Later, he met some lawless people and started to engage in some shady activities. In order to gain profits, he did not hesitate to use all means, even to attack competitors by any means.

"He is indeed a scoundrel." He Daqing was furious after hearing this information. "We can't let him continue to do evil things."

Yang Shumao nodded in agreement: "Yes, we must expose his true face and let everyone know what he has done."

Zhao Yajing also expressed her support: "We can use our friends in the industry to expose Akang's conspiracy to everyone and make sure he has nowhere to hide."

He Daqing decided to take action himself. He contacted several influential friends in the antique world and held an emergency meeting. At the meeting, He Daqing detailed Akang's background and conspiracy and called on everyone to boycott this unfair competition.

After listening to this, several friends expressed their support. They all agreed that the antique industry needs integrity and fairness, and that such rogue behavior should not damage the reputation of the industry.

After the meeting, He Daqing and his partners discussed some specific action plans. They decided to expose the true face of Akang to the public through the media and the Internet, and called on everyone to jointly resist this unfair competition.

Soon, an article exposing Akang's conspiracy spread in the industry. The article detailed Akang's background and the illegal acts he had committed, which attracted widespread attention and discussion. Many people were indignant at Akang's behavior and expressed their support for He Daqing and his antique shop.

A few days later, Akang's evil deeds were exposed and his business suffered a serious blow. Many customers left him and people in the industry also avoided him. Akang's conspiracy failed completely. Not only did he fail to hit He Daqing, but he himself fell into trouble.

He Daqing came to the company early in the morning, feeling heavy-hearted. Last night he sat alone in his study, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. The image of Jia Xiaoying and Niu Tinggui getting married kept appearing in his mind, and the heartache and powerlessness made him almost unable to breathe. He decided to tell Yang Shumao and Zhao Yajing the news, hoping to get some advice and comfort.

Walking into the office, He Daqing saw Yang Shumao busy with documents and Zhao Yajing sorting antiques. He took a deep breath and walked up to them.

"Shumao, Yajing, I have something to tell you." He Daqing's voice was low and his eyes were a little dim.

Yang Shumao raised his head and saw He Daqing's expression. He immediately realized that something was wrong: "Brother Daqing, what's wrong? What happened?"

Zhao Yajing also put down the antique in her hand and looked at He Daqing with concern: "Brother Daqing, you look very uneasy, what happened?"

He Daqing was silent for a while, and finally said: "Yesterday, I saw Jia Xiaoying and Niu Tinggui get married with my own eyes."

Yang Shumao and Zhao Yajing were stunned when this was said. Yang Shumao asked in disbelief: "What? Jia Xiaoying and Niu Ting are expensive? How is this possible?"

Zhao Yajing was also shocked: "How could they be together? This is so unexpected."

He Daqing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I didn't expect it either. But I saw with my own eyes that Jia Xiaoying wore a wedding dress and exchanged vows with Niu Tinggui at the wedding."

Yang Shumao frowned, obviously confused by this matter: "Brother Daqing, there is no intersection between Jia Xiaoying and Niu Tinggui at all, how could they suddenly get married?"

"Yes, this is too strange." Zhao Yajing was also puzzled, "Is there something going on between them that we don't know about?"

He Daqing took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "No matter what the reason is, we can only accept this fact now. Jia Xiaoying has chosen Niu Tinggui, and we can't change anything."

Yang Shumao and Zhao Yajing looked at each other and could see the confusion and worry in each other's eyes.

"So what should we do next?" Yang Shumao asked.
