Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1550 - 346, Suspicious He Lienuo (Second Update)_2

"Huh!"

As soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, Xia Zheng chuckled and shook his head, "Him? He’s not interested in the scenery at all. He’s a very suspicious person who, apart from being in his own residence, seldom enters someone else’s room willingly. The same goes for dining in restaurants."

Lin Yuan and Shopkeeper Liu quietly listened, now even more convinced that Xia Zheng knew this person.

Thinking of something, Xia Zheng narrowed his eyes and humphed, "Do you know why he wants to dine in the main hall? That’s because there are many people around, and it’s a spacious place. Should any sudden situations arise, he can adequately respond. When necessary, he’d even use others as scapegoats!"

Hearing the word "scapegoat," Lin Yuan and Shopkeeper Liu could not help but shrink their necks, their feelings towards this man growing uneasier without reason.

Before Lin Yuan could ask Xia Zheng who the person was, Xia Zheng had already taken the initiative to ask, "Did anything strange happen when he came to eat?"

Shopkeeper Liu nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, the man ordered several specialties from our Dong Tian, but he had a short man beside him taste every dish before serving."

At this point, Shopkeeper Liu was nearly going insane, "Tsk tsk, I’ve seen quite a few people ask for their food to be tasted, but I’ve never seen anyone do it like he does! He actually had someone taste each and every item!"

Shopkeeper Liu nearly shrieked those words because such people were extremely rare, to the point of being considered peculiar.

He immediately visualized the scene of the man dining.

After the dishes were served, the young gentleman kept fanning himself without moving. It was the other man who, at some point, had produced two small knives in his palm. One knife held down the shrimp dumplings on the plate, while the other cut a small piece off and put it in his mouth.

Only after confirming that the shrimp dumplings were not poisoned did he present them on the plate in front of the young gentleman.

Dishes like shrimp dumplings are independent items, and if they were checked one by one like this, Shopkeeper Liu wouldn’t have been too surprised. But even afterwards, they had to sample the hot and sour shredded potatoes in the same manner, which was just too excessive!

In fact, people of high status and position, to ensure their own safety, will have their confidants taste the food first. Only after ensuring that the food on the plate is normal would they eat it.

But usually, the tasting is only for one dish, merely taking a bite from the plate to sample. People who do it like this man, tasting every single item, are truly unheard of.

Lin Yuan was so shocked that her jaw was about to drop. From where did such an eccentric young master appear, having to make such a fuss just to have a meal.

No wonder Xia Zheng said he was suspicious–living like that must be so tiring!

Noticing what Lin Yuan might be thinking, Xia Zheng rubbed the top of her head amusingly and said, "Is this enough to make you feel overwhelmed? You have no idea about the other things this guy has done!"

Other things?

Lin Yuan’s eyes widened in clear interest.

Xia Zheng shook his head with a smile, glanced at Shopkeeper Liu, and said, "Well, since it’s just us, I might as well tell you."

"This guy, he’s very keen on the fur trade. It’s said that once he obtained a very precious Black Bear Skin, and this Black Bear Skin was completely intact, with not a single injury spot to be found on its entire body. Tsk tsk, the man immediately went on high alert, insisting that the bear skin was a ploy by an enemy to poison him to death because there were no wounds, the bear was definitely poisoned, and so the skin would also be poisonous, and anyone wearing it would be killed."

At this point, Xia Zheng laughed sarcastically, continuing, "Afterwards, this fellow found an excuse to kill the person who offered the bear skin and seized all his property. Moreover, fearing that the person’s household might have hidden mechanisms to assassinate him, he leveled his house to the ground. Not only that, he was afraid to use the treasury of gold and silver that was found there, so he deposited it all straight into the national treasury."

How could someone be so paranoid in this world?

Shopkeeper Liu shook his head in lamentation, wondering to himself if this man could be scared to death by the sound of his own urination when he gets up to pee in the middle of the night.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan laughed but also sharply caught some key information–seized property, national treasury, leveled to the ground?
