Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 82 - 77: Courting Death

Sun Yao tried calling several times but couldn’t get through, always greeted with "Sorry, the number you dialed is not in service area." Sun Yao finally understood that the other party was determined not to deal with him anymore!

He immediately felt a deep sense of panic, his hands trembling uncontrollably, and he was consumed by anxiety. The other three members of the Sun Family weren’t any better off; they all realized that the situation was unfavorable for them. Just the thought of facing the consequences when the truth came out made all three extremely uneasy!

Sun Wu angrily scratched his head, stood up, and rushed toward the door, shouting, "I’m going to find that Tang woman right now! I’ll snatch the video from her! Let’s see how she threatens us without it!"

His shout startled Sun Yao’s wife and Sun Wen! Sun Wen was momentarily stunned, then suddenly thought of something, her face changing instantly. She stood up and murmured, "Yes! We have to get that video from the Tang woman! We can’t let everyone know this is all a scam!"

Saying this, she also strode towards the door, intending to join Sun Wu in confronting Tang Yiyi.

Wang Fang, initially quite anxious, felt as if she’d found her backbone upon hearing her children’s words. She immediately decided to retrieve the video from Tang Yiyi. She thought as long as they had the video, Tang Yiyi would have no evidence against them, so their deceit wouldn’t be exposed, completely forgetting that Tang Yiyi was a Superpower User!

Sun Yao, however, miraculously retained some sense. Seeing the situation was not right, he quickly advised, "No! You shouldn’t go looking for that Tang woman! She’s not someone to be trifled with!"

However, as soon as he spoke, Sun Wen, already at the door, screamed in dissatisfaction, "Dad! Are you even a man? Don’t you have any courage? If we don’t snatch the evidence back, we’re doomed once the truth is revealed! Do you want our whole family to be exiled?"

As Sun Wen shouted, Wang Fang also chimed in, "Exactly, exactly! Wenwen is right! We must snatch back the video! Sun, if you’re still a man, you’ll come with us! We’re at a critical point here, and you’re still acting foolish?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Sun Yao was displeased. How was he being foolish? He simply didn’t want to watch these three make a stupid mistake! But Wang Fang, Sun Wen, and Sun Wu were already scared stiff and wouldn’t listen to his advice. Before Sun Yao could explain, Sun Wu started making a fuss again. At this point, he didn’t care about respect or not, pointing at Sun Yao’s nose and yelling, "Are you my dad or not? If you’re my dad, don’t stand in my way!"

Sun Yao was so angry he couldn’t speak, only glaring fiercely at this unfilial son, almost fainting from anger! Why on earth was he doing all this? Yet one by one, none of them would listen to him!

However, Sun Wu, Sun Wen, and Wang Fang couldn’t comprehend Sun Yao’s well-meaning intent. Sun Wu opened the door and ran out, Sun Wen followed without a word, leaving Wang Fang to give Sun Yao a dissatisfied glare before chasing after them. Sun Yao was left alone in the cramped rental room, looking at the chaotic surroundings and feeling utterly desolate!

Several opened packaging boxes lay scattered on the floor, all bought by Wang Fang, Sun Wen, and Sun Wu in the past few days, with two unopened parcels beside them, now ignored. Since they accepted interviews and played the sympathy card before the cameras, weeping about their plight, they’ve received generous donations in just a few days.

The money came too easily, so much so that Wang Fang and the others didn’t pay much attention to it, spending lavishly, while Sun Yao was constantly worried, unable to sleep peacefully. Even right before Tang Yiyi’s lawyer sent a legal notice, Wang Fang and the other two were excitedly opening parcels, discussing how to spend the donations as they increased!

Once the online statement was released, along with the sharp legal notice from the other side, the three excited individuals suddenly realized the danger lurking behind those donations, and Sun Yao, already on edge, felt as if the sky was falling!

However, now it was too late to say anything. Sun Yao glanced one last time at the scattered boxes on the floor, wiped his face with his hand, and still chased after them. He realized he had to stop Wang Fang and the kids from going to Tang Yiyi; that woman was too terrifying—what happened that day was still fresh in his memory!

He was filled with regret, regretting that he had made a colossal mistake in pursuit of temporary satisfaction, and upon realizing something was amiss, instead of stopping them, he let Wang Fang and the others have their way!

However, by the time he chased out from the room, Wang Fang and the other two, who had left first, were already nowhere to be seen, clearly having gotten into a car and left! Sun Yao didn’t have a vehicle and could only wait at a bus stop for the next bus to come. Unfortunately, the last one had just departed not long ago, and the next one wouldn’t arrive for at least 10 minutes!

Standing at the bus stop, Sun Yao felt as though every second was torture. To make matters worse, he was an ordinary person, not in good health, and couldn’t run fast at all! Left with no choice, he had to use his personal device to call Wang Fang, waiting several seconds before the call was answered with a tone that was far from pleasant: "What do you want?"

Sun Yao was infuriated by the tone but couldn’t afford to get angry in such a critical moment, instead having to endure and persuade, "Where are you guys? I’m at the bus stop waiting, coming over soon! Whatever you do, don’t act on impulse! Wait for me before doing anything!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Fang knew Sun Yao intended to stop them, and her anger flared even more, disregarding the fact she was on a bus with many people around, she yelled into the personal device: "Sun Yao, are you even a man? At a time like this, you’re dragging us down! Are you determined to get us all killed?"

After shouting, Wang Fang suddenly felt something was wrong. She looked up and saw everyone in the bus staring at her, their gazes unusually complex and strange. In a panic, she blurted out: "What are you looking at? Never seen a couple arguing?"

Recently, because their family had been high-profile in accepting interviews and making the news, nearly everyone in Qinghe City recognized them! So pitied were they that many sympathized with them, but once the lawyer’s statement was out, the matter stirred up online discussions, and various speculations emerged within a short period.

As soon as the three of them boarded the bus, others recognized them, secretly observing. When Wang Fang shouted at Sun Yao, people couldn’t help but silently speculate if she was feeling guilty. After Wang Fang’s careless outburst, their impression of her worsened, instinctively sensing guilt written all over her face!

While Wang Fang hadn’t realized she’d made a grave mistake, Sun Wu and Sun Wen felt the surrounding suspicion, causing their faces to turn pale with fear! On the other end, Sun Yao heard Wang Fang’s loud yell, and his mind went blank, leaving him with only two words—

It’s over! (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qingdian (qidian.com) with recommendations or monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
