Chapter 450: Chapter 451: Trouble Has Arrived

“Okay,” the man nodded.

Having said that, the man leaped to his feet and immediately jumped onto the dining table, shouting loudly, “Friends, this restaurant is so trashy. I found bugs in my food, and now, my stomach is incredibly uncomfortable. This is absolutely a filthy restaurant, substandard in hygiene, and they might even be cooking our food with gutter oil.”

The man’s shouting made the hundreds of diners in the entire restaurant stare in disbelief. Each one of them was dumbstruck.

“What…what’s happening?”

“Who knows!”

“Is that true?”

...

Many people were discussing it on the spot, clearly, they had never seen such a thing before. Moreover, the cleanliness of Hanmen Restaurant was evident to all; the restaurant had never been seen with any dirt. The tables and chairs were also spotless. So, when such a person suddenly appeared, they were a bit unaccustomed and at a loss.

A group of people looked on with curiosity at the scene.

“Listen, if you cause any more trouble, I’m going to call security,” Liu Xiaolei said very bluntly.

“Dare to call security on me?” The man became even more enraged when he heard this.

“Yes, if you don’t stop this behavior, I’m going to call security,” said Liu Xiaolei, her face ice-cold. The man’s actions were obviously damaging the image and reputation of Hanmen Restaurant, something that would displease anyone.

“Hmph,” the man snorted coldly. “Unless you agree to my terms.”

“That’s extortion!” Liu Xiaolei scolded angrily.

“You can consider it extortion,” the man said disdainfully. “If you have the guts, call the police.”

“You!” Liu Xiaolei, upon hearing this, appeared somewhat helpless. If she called the police, it would be even worse for the reputation of Hanmen Restaurant. The police coming and going would quickly attract a lot of attention. Once discovered, the news would spread from one person to ten, then from ten to a hundred. It was better to settle with money, but if she paid today, what about tomorrow? If such a thing happened tomorrow, wouldn’t she have to pay again?

The man chuckled slyly, saying, “Don’t worry, I only want fifty thousand yuan.”

After much hesitation and long thought, Liu Xiaolei ultimately did not agree to his demands. This was her decision after careful consideration.

Seeing Liu Xiaolei hesitate and think for a long time, the man immediately said, “What? You refuse to agree?”

“Yes,” Liu Xiaolei suddenly spoke up, her tone very decisive, “If I agree to you today, tomorrow will surely be a tragedy for Hanmen Restaurant.”

“What do you mean?” the man said coldly.

“How can you not understand what I mean?” Liu Xiaolei said, her eyes filled with disdain. Clearly, she didn’t quite believe the man’s words. Moreover, she was convinced that this man was here to cause trouble, so she would definitely not agree to any of his demands.

“So, there’s no room for negotiation between us?” the man asked sternly.

“That’s right,” Liu Xiaolei nodded.

“Fine, since it’s like that, there’s nothing left for us to talk about,” the man stood up and then walked straight out. As he walked, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, appearing ready to call for reinforcements at any time.

The more he did so, the less Liu Xiaolei was afraid of him. In her view, it was not his threats she feared, but his underhanded tactics.

As the man walked out of the restaurant, Liu Xiaolei watched his retreating figure with a complex look in her eyes. She knew a storm was likely coming, so Liu Xiaolei felt some hesitation.

But after much indecision, she still took out her phone and decided to call Xiao Han to inform him. After all, if real troublemakers and hoodlums were to appear, she feared she wouldn’t be able to handle it alone, and even mobilizing the restaurant’s staff might not be enough. Therefore, Liu Xiaolei decided to notify Xiao Han, at least to ensure that Xiao Han was prepared. If things got out of hand, it would harm the restaurant’s reputation.

“Xiao Lei, what’s the background of this guy?” someone asked curiously, coming forward.

“How would I know!” Liu Xiaolei shook her head.

“Then we need to be careful,” a male waiter quickly said. “It’s the end of the year now, and the more it’s the end of the year, the more trouble there is.”

“Hmm!” Liu Xiaolei nodded and said, “Let everyone be more vigilant. Also, retrieve the restaurant’s surveillance footage to see if this bug really came from our dish or if this jerk deliberately came here to cause trouble.”

“Yes!” The waiter nodded hurriedly.

The restaurant was equipped with cameras, and they were comprehensive, covering every corner. Even the private dining rooms had cameras installed. If the bug really came from their dish, they would be at fault. But if this guy had planted the bug himself, they definitely couldn’t let it slide; they had to make an example of him to warn others.

Soon, the restaurant was bustling. Liu Xiaolei also put aside the man’s matter. Little did she expect that half an hour later, a clamor came from outside the door. More than ten men with sticks barged into the restaurant and started smashing things up.

Crash!

The two large porcelain vases at the entrance were quickly shattered. Black debris scattered all over the floor. Not only that, but the tables and chairs nearby were also overturned by several people.

“Fuck, where’s the person in charge? Hurry up and come out,” the leader of the men shouted.

Once inside, the group was exceedingly arrogant. All the men were stocky and fierce-looking. Their faces were covered with horizontal scars and they swung their sticks around as if trying to drive all the customers out of the restaurant.

The men behind shouted, “All the riffraff, get out of here now, or don’t blame us for not being polite when the innocent get hurt.”

Hearing this, people quickly left.

Those who hadn’t paid also scurried away, some panicked, others secretly relieved. They were all very tense. After leaving the scene, they immediately took off.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaolei immediately came down from the second-floor private room. The lobby downstairs was in chaos. More than ten men were blocking the entrance. The hall was a mess. The leader, wearing a black padded jacket and a cigarette at the corner of his mouth, looked coldly at the scene; his gaze suddenly fell on Liu Xiaolei.

“Yo, what do we have here, a pretty girl?” the man sneered and asked, “What’s the matter? Are you the person in charge here?”

“That’s right!” Liu Xiaolei nodded and said, “I am in charge here. What are you doing?”

“Heh heh, my brother was dining here, and you disgusted him,” the man said with a cold laugh before adding, “Tell me, how do you plan to compensate for this?”

“Compensate?” Liu Xiaolei said disdainfully, “Are you talking about him?”

As Liu Xiaolei spoke, she pointed to the man behind him. That was the guy who had found a bug in his food at the restaurant. Clearly, this group of men had been summoned by him. The man quickly stepped forward and said righteously, “Yes, it was me.”

“You have the nerve to show your face?” Liu Xiaolei sneered and said, “I’ve already checked the surveillance footage. If you want to see it, I don’t mind showing you, and let everyone know about your dirty deeds. That bug was clearly planted by you. Did you think we don’t have surveillance here?”

The man seemed to have anticipated Liu Xiaolei’s response, and instead of rushing to answer, he calmly replied, “What footage? Even if there is any, that footage has probably been tampered with by you, right? Do you think I’m illiterate? That kind of video can’t be used as evidence!”

“You!” Liu Xiaolei was caught off guard by his retort and was momentarily stunned.

“You’re maliciously framing me and even providing false evidence. What should your crime be?” the man counterattacked, leaving Liu Xiaolei completely flabbergasted.

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Liu Xiaolei glared at the man furiously.

The man knew where to draw the line. After having smashed the two vases at the entrance and a few tables and chairs, he dared not go any further with the vandalism, as causing too much damage would only confirm his guilt. So, he simply stood in the restaurant, being obstinate.

Liu Xiaolei would absolutely not submit to the evil power before her. This group was the epitome of making trouble out of nothing. The evidence she had was being twisted as a reason to bite back at her. Liu Xiaolei was nearly beside herself with rage.

However, in the face of their unreasonable behavior, she felt powerless. They were too numerous and powerful, while she was alone. If it came to a fight, she likely wouldn’t stand a chance. So Liu Xiaolei could only try to delay as much as possible.

“You are being unreasonable,” Liu Xiaolei rebuked sternly.

“We’re not being unreasonable. We’re just making a legitimate request,” the black-clothed man retorted, “My brother ate here, and there was a bug in the dish. We need compensation, and that is only right. But you’re accusing us of being unreasonable. Let’s see who is really being unreasonable, shall you?”

The man once again counterattacked, leaving Liu Xiaolei somewhat at a loss. Deep down, she could only hope for Xiao Han to arrive.

“If that’s the case, then I have no choice but to call the police,” Liu Xiaolei’s final resort was to threaten with legal action. Liu Xiaolei’s position was clear, distilled into three words: no compensation.

“Go ahead, call the police!” the man said without any fear, scoffing, “Even if we get arrested by the police today, your restaurant will never be able to open again.”
