Chapter 93: Chapter 93 The Truth Revealed_1

Nan Huang: Okay, help me shut down Mr. Chen’s Restaurant.

Nan Huang: Map (location of the restaurant)

Mr. Ma of Hai City: No problem, for me, this is a piece of cake.

Nan Huang: When will you do it?

Mr. Ma of Hai City: That depends on you. You tell me when to do it, and I’ll do it then.

Nan Huang: Let’s do it tonight.

Mr. Ma of Hai City: No problem.

Nan Huang: The fee is fifteen thousand, right? A friend told me that was the price.

Mr. Ma of Hai City: The price has gone up. For a job like yours, it’s now twenty thousand. Life isn’t easy, you know.

Nan Huang: Alright, twenty thousand it is, as long as you get the job done.

Mr. Ma of Hai City: Cool. Pay first, service afterwards. I won’t cheat you.

What followed was the transfer of funds and the chat records between the two discussing how to force Mr. Chen’s Restaurant out of business.

With Ma Minghao continuously swiping his phone, these chat records were fully exposed to everyone present.

The truth was out!

Only then did everyone realize that they had been led astray by Ma Minghao just moments ago.

They had been insisting that Ma Minghao was being threatened.

But that couldn’t be blamed on them. Who would have thought that Ma Minghao would choose to reveal the truth at the last minute?

This, damn it, made no sense at all.

Given the circumstances, things were looking very good for Ma Minghao.

Even if there were no flies in the kitchen, the fact that there were flies in the food was undeniable, and the owner definitely wouldn’t be able to explain it away.

And with the live television broadcast, the restaurant was sure to be doomed.

But who could have expected Ma Minghao to pull such a stunt?

Moreover, this was illegal and he was certainly going to be taken away by the police.

The crowd wasn’t stupid; they quickly understood.

Ma Minghao was up to no good, that was certain. If he was revealing the truth now, someone must have been putting pressure on him.

If he didn’t do it, he’d surely end up worse off than being taken away by the police, or else he had received a considerable benefit.

Only this made sense.

Mr. Wu, the chief, said, "Boss, what he did is illegal. You better call the police. This isn’t in our jurisdiction."

Chen Yuanxiang replied, "I’ve already called the police. They should be here soon."

Mr. Wu said, "Good. Since they’re coming, you wouldn’t mind showing us your kitchen, would you?"

"Of course not, I’ll take you there," Chen Yuanxiang immediately led the way.

The commercial inspectors and Pan Yao all followed.

Ma Minghao and his friend were left standing there, watched by several people from the restaurant to prevent them from running away.

It wasn’t long before Chen Yuanxiang came out of the kitchen with the commercial inspectors and Pan Yao.

The inspection yielded no issues, and Mr. Wu even complimented the cleanliness and hygiene of the kitchen.

Once everything was wrapped up, Mr. Wu took his team and left.

Pan Yao hadn’t left; she was conducting a live broadcast and needed to wait for the matter to conclude.

This turn of events, with such a twist, could potentially trend if handled well.

Soon enough, the police arrived.

Dong Junjie, hiding in the Audi car, was a bit stunned to see the police arriving.

What was going on? Why were the police here?

He had arranged everything with Ma Minghao, and having the police show up was not part of the plan.

Could it be that Ma Minghao, the bastard, improvised and called the police to take Chen Yuanxiang away?

It must be!

Even better!

Detaining Chen Yuanxiang for a few days would put an end to any chance of the restaurant staying open.

Dong Junjie chuckled and got out of the car, ready to witness the scene of Chen Yuanxiang being taken away by the police up close.

"Big bro, what’s the situation here?"

Arriving at the restaurant entrance, Dong Junjie stopped a middle-aged man as he was exiting, offered him a Zhonghua cigarette, and inquired about the situation.

He was pretending to be a passerby, casually asking around.

But what the middle-aged man said was something Dong Junjie had never anticipated.

Chen Yuanxiang was fine, Ma Minghao had decided to reveal the truth, and even shared his chat records with the person behind the scenes.

The police were here to arrest Ma Minghao.

Fuck!

Dong Junjie cursed inwardly.

What the hell was Ma Minghao thinking?

Didn’t he know that doing this would get him taken away by the police?

You motherfucker, a thug talking about conscience bothering him?

You motherfucker, when you took my twenty thousand, why didn’t your conscience bother you then?

Originally, Ma Minghao was introduced by a friend who said he was absolutely reliable.

So, he had contacted Ma Minghao with his own WeChat account.

WeChat requires real-name registration.

Through the chat records, the police could track him down.

Thinking this, Ma Minghao felt his entire being sink.

"This bastard!"

Dong Junjie swore and immediately returned to his Audi.

He didn’t dare to stick around and watch the excitement anymore.

Inside the restaurant.

After understanding the situation clearly, the three policemen took Ma Minghao and his friend away.

This case was easy to investigate, they just needed to find out who had paid Ma Minghao to cause trouble.

With the matter resolved, Zhou Chengyu, Li Kaiyao, and Wan Pengfei left.

"Dad, I think it’s definitely Dong Qikang who instigated Ma Minghao to create trouble. He wants to rent our restaurant, and when you refused, he resorted to this tactic, hoping you’d be unable to keep it open and then rent it to him," Chen Yuyan said indignantly.

"It’s not him," Chen Yuanxiang and Li Kaiyao shook their heads, disagreeing with her, "He’s an old fox; I know him. He wouldn’t use such childish methods. He surely knows that even if my restaurant can’t stay open, I wouldn’t rent it to him. There’s no need for him to do that."

"Then it must be Feng Lijuan; she’s shameless and ignorant. It wouldn’t be surprising for her to use this method to pressure you," Chen Yuyan guessed again.

"That’s possible," Chen Yuanxiang nodded in agreement.

"Dad, Yuyan, no matter who it is, the police will find out soon enough, and then we’ll know," Shen Dong said.

"That’s true; no need to guess anymore," Chen Yuanxiang agreed.

"Alright, I’ll stop guessing," Chen Yuyan pouted.

"Dad, today I acquired Meizizzi Hotpot Chain and converted it into Shuidilao," Shen Dong said.

"I don’t have experience in the restaurant business, nor do I know how to manage one, so I’d like to offer you the position of general manager at Shuidilao."

Shen Dong explained the situation.

"Shen Dong, I’ve been out of the professional field for more than a decade; I’m afraid I won’t be of much help to you," Chen Yuanxiang said with a wry smile.

"Dad, Yuyan and I have discussed it, and we think you can handle it," Shen Dong said with a smile.

"Dad, handing the company over to someone else doesn’t feel secure to us. You running this restaurant isn’t as good as becoming the general manager of Shuidilao and helping Shen Dong," Chen Yuyan urged.

The two hadn’t mentioned Chen Yuanxiang’s responsibility for bringing down Dong Qikang, a matter they felt shouldn’t be brought up.

"Since both of you feel that way, I’ll take on the role of general manager," Chen Yuanxiang conceded.

"But let me be clear, if I don’t do well, you can’t blame me."

Chen Yuanxiang’s words were modest, but his eyes were filled with confidence.

Although he had been out of the workforce for many years, he still had faith in himself.

Some skills never deteriorate; they can even grow more prominent with age, experience, and the wisdom that comes with the passage of time.
