CHAPTER 485: REVISED: CHAPTER 485 HEAVEN TAKES ITS COURSE

"Looks like something good is coming up. When are you going to have another discount event to share the joy with everyone?"

Hearing his mocking words, Zhang Dadan noticed this ’annoying’ regular customer and had to give him a polite smile.

To prevent this interesting old man from chatting nonsense again, Zhang Dadan had to lower his voice and ask, "Did your grandfather say what he wanted to see me for?"

"No, he didn’t! Early this morning, he called me saying he wanted to see you. It must be something important!" Bai Jie lied.

Zhang Dadan was about to take out his phone to verify it when he saw Master Sande coming down from upstairs.

Most of the guests dining in the restaurant had seen Master Sande before, and seeing him come downstairs, they quickly stood up to flatter him.

Master Sande nodded apologetically to everyone, then scurried over to Zhang Dadan and whispered, "Master Zhang, can I leave now?"

"Master Sande, why not dine in the private room? Please, have a seat... please, have a seat..." Zhang Dadan quickly stood up and pretended to be courteous.

The people in town now saw Master Sande as a savior, and Zhang Dadan couldn’t afford to scold him in front of everyone.

Master Sande, being perceptive, saw that Zhang Dadan gave him enough face, so he was no longer overly cautious and sat next to him.

Zhang Dadan then had someone bring a bowl of porridge for Master Sande and said loudly, "Master Sande, you drank a lot of wine yesterday. Drink a bowl of porridge to warm your stomach!"

Looking at the porridge in front of him and hearing Zhang Dadan’s concerned words, Master Sande felt a hint of emotion.

Although Zhang Dadan had swindled ten thousand yuan from him, and despite Zhang Dadan’s constant scolding, he hadn’t heard such caring words in a long time.

Even though Zhang Dadan might not genuinely care about him and was just putting on a show in front of customers, it still warmed his heart.

"Thank you, Boss Zhang... thank you, Boss Zhang..." Master Sande loudly replied, giving Zhang Dadan enough face.

The guests in the restaurant saw Zhang Dadan’s concern for Master Sande and thought he was grateful on behalf of the town, which made them admire Jiji even more.

A boss with feelings and loyalty, countless mouth-watering dishes, no wonder Jiji had defeated Juxian Inn and gained such fame in a short time.

Just as people were admiring Zhang Dadan, Lin Wan walked in alone, sat next to Zhang Dadan, and said angrily:

"That Liu guy left without even paying the room fee. It’s infuriating!"

Hearing this, Zhang Dadan shook his head and sighed, "Why get so upset? Maybe he was in a hurry to go back and put out a fire?"

Only then did Lin Wan realize that Liu’s wrongdoing had been exposed, and the station might punish him. He must already be frantic by now, right?

This is called evil deeds earning retribution, villains being dealt with by Heaven!

Because of Liu’s affair with the cosplayer, Lin Wan had completely lost trust in him, seeing him as a scoundrel playing with people’s feelings.

But after all, they were colleagues who came to Stone Town together to investigate the ghost incident. His departure without a word made her extremely annoyed nonetheless.

What irritated her wasn’t Liu leaving without a word, but feeling ignored and neglected.

After Zhang Dadan’s brief consolation, Lin Wan immediately saw the light. Why should she care about such a scumbag?

"Master Sande, I hope he truly views you as a god!" Lin Wan glanced at Master Sande and teased.

Master Sande, who was drinking porridge and touched by Zhang Dadan’s care, felt righteousness take over his mind and replied with a laugh, "Journalist Lin, don’t worry! My words are blessed!"

Blessed... blessed words? Bullshit! Truly a con artist seasoned in the worldly society. His ability to talk rubbish was indeed highly skilled.

"Then we’ll rely on you, Master Sande!" Lin Wan flattered him, seemingly forgetting his con-man identity.

After Master Sande finished the porridge, Zhang Dadan glanced at everyone and said respectfully to Master Sande, "Master Sande, I need to go to the county too. Let me take you there on behalf of the whole town!"

"Alright... alright. This humble Taoist thanks you!" Although Master Sande didn’t know what Zhang Dadan was up to, he dared not refuse.

The customers in the restaurant, hearing that Zhang Dadan would personally escort Master Sande, admired his loyalty even more.

After greeting Zhou Yong, who was still sleeping, Zhang Dadan led Master Sande to the bus station.

In a group of four, they bought tickets and boarded the bus. Bai Jie initially wanted to sit next to Zhang Dadan, but Zhang Dadan sat with Master Sande, so she had to sit behind them with Lin Wan.

Bai Jie nudged Zhang Dadan’s seat with her knee and whispered, "Zhang Dadan, are you also gay?"

"G-... gay, your sister! Are you out of your mind? Why have you changed so much?" Zhang Dadan retorted without hesitation.

Seeing the two flirt and talk, Lin Wan felt a slight pang of jealousy. Although she hadn’t known Zhang Dadan for long, she was already deeply attracted to his charm.

But she also knew that this heiress of the Bai Group, Bai Jie, had a crush on Zhang Dadan too. How could she, a mere journalist, compete with her?

As they joked, the bus had departed, and the noise grew even louder, making it hard to settle down.

Master Sande, already anxious about Zhang Dadan accompanying him, was further agitated by the crying child next to him.

"Madam, could you please quiet your child?" Master Sande finally couldn’t stand it and spoke up.

The woman was about to lash out, but seeing Master Sande in taoist attire, she held back and asked curiously, "Are you Master Sande?"

The numerous passengers in the bus, upon hearing the name Master Sande, instantly quieted down and turned to look at him.

Master Sande bowed to the woman holding the child and said, "Indeed, I am Master Sande. I hope everyone can keep it a bit quieter!"

The town’s people already knew about Master Sande’s ghost-catching exploits and revered him as a god. Seizing the rare chance to see him, nobody dared to offend him.

Although they all secretly observed him, they kept silent, showing remarkable consistency.

The driver, noticing the unusual quietness in the bus, felt something was off and asked the conductor, "What’s happening? Did something..."

Before he could finish, a few passengers behind him quickly shushed him, stopping him mid-sentence.

Master Sande, seeing the heated and admiring gazes, felt elated, as if he had truly become a sage.

But before he could indulge for too long, the bus had already left Stone Town and reached Min’an Town. Many people got off, while many more boarded, making the bus lively again.

The noise disturbed Master Sande, and he said, "I hope everyone can give me some respect and quiet down, okay?"

But by now, there were hardly any people from Stone Town left on the bus. Who would listen to him?

Someone even challenged him loudly, "Who are you? Why should we give you face? You’re an old coot with no status!"

Master Sande, used to flattery, found this hard to accept and shouted angrily, "How rude! Haven’t you heard my title?"
