Jindeli anxiously urged several workers, "Hurry up! If you finish within two hours, I'll pay you double! Move faster!"
Turning his head casually, Jindeli finally noticed Chen Zao standing outside the door, giving him a start.
"Hey, Brother Zao, weren't you supposed to be back this afternoon?" Jindeli quickly approached him.
Suppressing the boiling anger surging in his mind, Chen Zao asked Jindeli in a deep voice, "What’s going on here?"
Jindeli had a bruised face, with his left eye stitched and still bandaged, but this didn't significantly affect his vision. Chen Zao noticed that Jindeli had a heavily bandaged Right Arm.
Worried about being laughed at, Jindeli pulled Chen Zao into the backyard. On the way, he changed the subject and asked Chen Zao, "What happened to you? Did you get hurt again?"
"Stop sidetracking me. What exactly happened in our shop?"
With a pout on his chubby face, Jindeli muttered, "I got into a fight."
"Is this really a fight? It looks like you got beaten up! Did someone vandalize our shop too?"
Chen Zao didn’t speak in a reproachful tone; he just wanted to clarify the facts.
With a distressed expression on his chubby face, Jindeli recounted what had happened at the Meat Sandwich Shop.
Before the incident, Jindeli hadn’t returned to Gubei, but stayed in Chang'an City with Zhuo Chugang to deal with purchasing from an illegal drug factory. It took nearly a week before he came back.
As soon as he returned, he encountered Min Jianlong, the leader of the Min Family Clan, causing trouble at the Zao Meat Sandwich Shop with a group of brothers.
Previously, Chen Zao had severely beaten several martial artists from the Min Family Clan, leaving many unable to film. This seriously delayed the shooting schedule for their production.
The foot of Qiao Longsheng, the eldest disciple of the Min Family Clan, was ruined by Chen Zao, and he was almost certain to become lame. His career as a martial artist was effectively over; all his hard work was wasted. This infuriated Min Jianlong!
In Min Jianlong's view, Chen Zao was completely undermining their clan! Regardless of who was right or wrong, he had to avenge his disciples! He wanted to take down Chen Zao, an eye for an eye!
Previously, Li Zhenian had been trying to contact Chen Zao, wanting him to resolve this matter quickly.
However, this time the Min Family Clan and the production team were genuinely furious and insisted on seeking justice from Chen Zao. They wanted him to pay for blood with blood!
Li Zhenian was extremely anxious; he had been trying to apologize to both the Min Family Clan and the crew of “Zhao Feiyan,” but this time, since Chen Zao had hurt people from the clan so badly, even if he could talk his way out of it, there was no way to smooth things over now.
Knowing that this trouble could not be avoided, Li Zhenian contacted Jindeli and asked him to inform Chen Zao not to come back for a while.
After hearing about the situation, Jindeli was also anxious and kept trying to reach Chen Zao, but he couldn't get in touch with him at all.
Later, when he returned to Gubei, he happened to encounter the Min Family Clan, who were also frustrated about not being able to find Chen Zao and came to the Meat Sandwich Shop looking for trouble.
Seeing that they were about to smash the shop, Jindeli couldn't let that happen! He blocked the group and ended up fighting with the Min Family Clan.
It was uncertain whether it was because he had become wealthy and more confident or if the Beast Oil had strengthened his body, but this time Jindeli surprisingly did not back down against the group of Martial Arts Instructors from the Min Family Clan.
He swung a chair and knocked down two Martial Artists, then managed to fend off another two Martial Artists, surprisingly holding his ground against four opponents!
When the group of Martial Artists realized they couldn't take down this hefty guy one by one, they shamelessly rushed at him all together and gave Jindeli a good beating.
Jindeli ended up with a broken arm, a swollen head, multiple bruises on his body, and nearly had his eye knocked out.
Fortunately, he had consumed a lot of Beast Oil beforehand, which helped him endure this misfortune.
If an ordinary person had taken such a beating from the Min Family Clan, they would either be dead or severely disabled.
After beating up Jindeli, the group of Martial Artists still felt unsatisfied and proceeded to smash up the Meat Sandwich Shop as well.
That night, when Li Zhenian heard about this incident, he hurried to the hospital to see Jindeli.
Upon learning that Jindeli did not suffer any serious long-term injuries, Li Zhenian pondered for a moment and decided to use this incident to smooth over a previous matter.
Those in leadership positions like them were unmatched in their ability to smooth things over.
Since they had been unable to contact Chen Zao anyway, Li Zhenian discussed with Jindeli about letting him take a big loss this time by taking that beating without any compensation.
He planned to negotiate with the crew. Since Chen Zao had hit someone from the Min Family Clan and they retaliated by hitting Jindeli and smashing up the shop, both sides had suffered losses. It would be best to settle it evenly and avoid further conflicts in the future.
Jindeli thought this was a good idea and allowed Li Zhenian to take the injury verification certificate from Town Hospital stating that he was severely injured and unable to care for himself to negotiate with the Min Family Clan.
Min Jianlong felt quite guilty after seeing how badly his disciples had injured Jindeli compared to Qiao Longsheng. With Li Zhenian's intervention, this matter was settled as even; they would no longer pursue any grievances with Chen Zao.
The crew also decided not to entangle themselves with Chen Zao anymore since their last scene had already been hastily wrapped up.
Gubei Film City left them with very unpleasant memories. They casually held a wrap party, and this was how the largest film crew to visit Gubei Film City ended their shooting journey in such an unhappy manner, disbanding on the spot.
Jindeli felt quite satisfied after hearing Li Zhenian resolve the matter with the Min Family Clan.
He rarely helped Chen Zao shoulder responsibilities, and finally realized his self-worth, feeling great about it!
Although the way he realized his self-worth was a bit embarrassing—being beaten up to gain value—he felt very satisfied and proud to help Brother Zao.
In the past, it was always Chen Zao helping him out; he had never helped Chen Zao before. This was his first time breaking that pattern. He wanted to handle it well without letting Chen Zao know the details, fearing that Chen Zao would get upset and cause more trouble with the Min Family Clan. So, he hurried to renovate the shop, trying to make it seem like nothing had happened.
However, he didn't expect Chen Zao to return so early, and the situation was exposed. He had no choice but to explain everything to Chen Zao.
After listening, Chen Zao was furious and stormed out of the courtyard.
Jindeli quickly stopped him and asked, "Hey Brother Zao, where are you going?"
"What do you mean where am I going?" Chen Zao snapped. "I'm going to smash the sign of the Min Family Clan! They dared to smash our sign; I won't let this go!"
"Oh come on, Brother Zao, don't bother with them anymore. If you take action now, my beating will have been for nothing!" Jindeli advised earnestly. "Let this go; from now on, let's focus on making honest money and not deal with these foolish pests."
"Stop talking nonsense; this matter won't just pass for me!"
