Chapter 428: Chapter 362 The Essence of Bloody Restaurant

"Mr. Liu, you have to save me."

Secretary Li’s legs were shaking as she looked at Liu Zheng.

"I’ll try my best."

He said, his scalp tingling.

The Bloody Restaurant even dared to forcibly order takeout for Mr. Li; the cashier they sent was definitely not weak and might even be a big shot on the same level as Si Xue.

In fact, Liu Zheng didn’t truly believe he could stop the cashier, but it was still necessary to say something nice, or else it would be too bad for business.

"If no one opens the door, then I’ll just let myself in, okay?"

The voice of the cashier outside called out, and then the office door opened.

Liu Zheng and the others saw nothing, but their brains told them there was a "person" at the doorway.

"Hello, Miss Li, I’m here to collect the debt. Ah no, to collect money."

The "person" said politely.

Secretary Li even felt as if he had bowed to her.

"How, how much do I owe?"

She asked tremblingly.

"Sorry, that is commercial confidentiality, I cannot disclose it. If you have any questions, you can subsequently bring up your objections to our restaurant through Metropolis Arbitration Court."

The cashier said.

If you can still raise any objections, that is.

"Mr. Liu, save me."

Secretary Li certainly understood the implication of his words and again appealed to Liu Zheng for help.

"Ahem, esteemed cashier."

Liu Zheng opened his mouth, knowing calling someone "big shot" was always right.

"Liu Zheng, I know you. The star of the future in the Delivery Department, and a strong candidate for this year’s Outstanding Employee at the restaurant."

The cashier’s "gaze" turned towards him.

"You flatter me, you flatter me. I am just a hardworking newcomer."

Liu Zheng responded modestly.

"No need to be modest. I’ve heard of your deeds. The Bloody Restaurant has been open for many years, and among all the new employees, you are the one who causes the most trouble."

The cashier continued.

"Actually, it’s all a misunderstanding. I am a very honest and down-to-earth person."

He tried to clear his own name.

"What kind of person you are, is irrelevant to me."

"What I want to tell you is, if you think that having inherited some of Li’s legacy, along with Si Xue’s partiality towards you, could interfere with my work, then you are gravely mistaken."

"I’m about to do my job now, so take the gentleman beside you and leave this room. Otherwise, I will consider you trying to assist Miss Li in dodging the bill."

The cashier said with polite insistence.

He didn’t specify the consequences of dodging the bill, but it was definitely not going to be as simple as just a beating and then calling the police.

"Si Xue..."

At the mention of this name, Liu Zheng’s hair stood on end.

Daring to call the boss by her name, this cashier was either ignorant and fearless or had something to rely on.

And it was clearly the latter.

Remembering that the cashier seemed to know a lot about internal matters of the restaurant, Liu Zheng felt a chill down his spine.

Could this cashier be...

"Figured it out yet? If so, then hurry up and leave, and don’t get in the way of my work."

The cashier seemed to be getting impatient.

"Alright, we’re leaving now."

Liu Zheng, dragging Old Fourth, headed for the door, ignoring Secretary Li’s pleading gaze.

If it was as he suspected, then even if he and everyone from Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse joined forces, it would be futile.

Unless Brother Sha, Oynk, and Fisherman were there, they might have a fighting chance.

"You’re smart. Be careful not to back the wrong horse."

The cashier said meaningfully and then paid them no more attention.

As the two of them left the office, the room door closed automatically.

In the moment it shut, Liu Zheng thought he saw the space twisting.

"Damn, that almost scared me silly."

Old Fourth leaned against the wall, constantly wiping off his sweat.

It was his first time experiencing the Bloody Restaurant coming to collect money, and it was more terrifying than being caught in a secret rendezvous at his girlfriend’s house by her parents the first time.

Now he couldn’t help but feel relieved that he didn’t qualify to order takeout for the boss. The payoff might be substantial, but one had to be alive to take it.

"Mr. Liu, Secretary Li won’t die, right?"

Old Fourth asked Liu Zheng.

After all, they were old colleagues for so many years, usually working well together, so there was some affection.

"Hard to say, but probably not."

Liu Zheng replied.

Vampire Sister had ordered takeout and hadn’t died; Secretary Li surely couldn’t be that much weaker, she’d at least be left with a breath.

"That’s good then, that’s good."

Old Fourth said repeatedly.

As long as she wasn’t dead, it was okay; that way, when the boss returned, he would be able to explain.

"However, why is there no sound inside?"

Old Fourth curiously asked.

Even if Secretary Li had no power to resist, surely she should cry out or scream a couple of times.

The utter silence was strange; anyone unaware of the situation would have thought the two of them were playing statue in there.

"Maybe the sound’s been blocked."

Liu Zheng replied.

Provoked by Old Fourth’s comment, he had become a bit curious too.

With a flick of his tentacle, a red and a blue pill appeared in his tentacle.

"Spiritual Vision" pills and "True Vision" pills—if he took these two pills, could he see what was happening inside, or even see what the cashier looked like?

After a moment of temptation, Liu Zheng dismissed the crazy idea.

Even if the Legendary Armor could save him from a decrease in reason, it couldn’t shield him from an attack by the cashier.

The cashier’s attitude towards him wasn’t necessarily malicious but wasn’t friendly either.

If given a reason to act, the other party would definitely not hold back.

Time continued to pass by, and there was still no movement inside.

"Is that guy done yet?"

Old Fourth finally couldn’t contain himself.

"Knock on the door and ask, I guess."

Liu Zheng knocked on the door.

"May we come in now?"

He asked.

There was no response, but he thought he heard a woman’s moan.
