Chapter 96: Food Poisoning Incident

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At Imperial SpringView Hotel-

In a very luxurious private room…

He Zhentian was nervous as he knelt in front of Zhao Shijie.

He reported what happened in Zhongyi Hall to Zhao Shijie.

“Young Master Zhao, just like that, the Flying Dagger Li Xiang was killed by that b*stard Su Chen.”

He Zhentian’s face was filled with hatred.

Bang!

Zhao Shijie slammed his palm on the table.

“That b*stard! First, he killed Feng Dao, then Li Xiang. This is an insult to our family!”

Zhao Shijie was furious.

“Young Master Zhao, we haven’t gotten Zhongyi Hall yet. What should we do next?”

He Zhentian asked nervously.

“Hmph!” Zhao Shijie snorted coldly.

“Subduing Zhongyi Hall is just for convenience! I can still act without subduing Zhongyi Hall.”

“Since Chen Zhongyi doesn’t know what’s good for him, I’ll deal with him after I finish dealing with the Zhou family!”

As he spoke, Zhao Shijie clapped his hands lightly.

Then, a middle-aged man pushed open the door and entered.

This person was very tall, and he had very long legs.

“Young Master Zhao, who is this?” He Zhentian asked curiously.

“This is Master Huang Rongxiang from the Southern City. His Shadowless Kicks made him invincible in Chan City!” Zhao Shijie introduced him.

He Zhentian’s expression turned cold.

He understood that Huang Rongxiang was one of the four masters! His specialty was his shadowless kicks.

Although Huang Rongxiang’s reputation was illustrious, He Zhentian’s heart was still beating quickly.

“Young Master Zhao, although Master Huang’s martial arts cultivation is high, Su Chen is unique.”

“Feng Dao and Li Xiang, two experts, have already died at his hands. There’s no guarantee that Master Huang can kill him, is there?”

“Hmph.” Huang Rongxiang snorted coldly, and his lips curled up. “That Su Chen’s martial cultivation is astonishing, but I don’t have to fight him head-on.”

“Hehe.” Zhao Shijie explained, “Master Huang’s ultimate skill is not just the Shadowless Kick, but also the Bone Shrinking Technique, Disguise Technique, Poison Technique, and so on.”

“Tomorrow, I’ll arrange for Master Huang to poison the fast food chain of Zhou

Catering Group. Then, the Zhou family’s reputation would be ruined.”

He Zhentian’s eyes lit up.

For food and beverage companies, hygiene and safety issues were definitely the bottom line!

If there was a poisoning incident in a Zhou Catering Group establishment, it would definitely be a big problem for them.

“Yes! Young Master Zhao, this move is really brilliant!” He Zhentian praised excitedly. “With an expert like you and a scheme like this, we’ll make more progress than fighting Su Chen head-on!”

Huang Rongxiang was proud.

Zhao Shijie’s face also revealed a trace of pride. “It’s only the Zhou family. I have plenty of ways to deal with them!”

He Zhentian nodded.

However, he thought of something and pleaded, “Young Master Zhao, that b*stard Su Chen has poisoned me. He said that I won’t live for more than three days. Please, save me.”

As he spoke, He Zhentian also looked at Huang Rongxiang. “Master Huang, since you know how to administer poison, you should know how to detoxify it too, right? Please help me!”

Huang Rongxiang’s expression froze. He said awkwardly, “This… Although I’m good with poison, I’m not that good with detoxification. I’m really sorry.”

He Zhentian’s expression was bitter.

“Don’t worry!” Zhao Shijie said casually. “My dad has already contacted my uncle. He’s preparing to come back from the provincial capital. He comes from a famous ancient martial arts sect, and there are many experts in the sect. Don’t worry!”

Hearing this, He Zhentian finally felt relieved.

On the other side…

Su Chen came out of the bathroom after taking a shower.

“Hmph!”

Zhou Wanqiu looked at him coldly and snorted.

Then, she turned away from him.

Su Chen was baffled, not knowing how he had offended this woman.

However, he didn’t question her and obediently returned to his own bed.

Su Chen sat cross-legged and cultivated.

Zhou Wanqiu’s eyes drifted over to him from time to time.

Actually, she really wanted to ask Su Chen what his relationship with Qin Yaoyao was.

But she didn’t know how to say it.

Zhou Wanqiu cleared her throat.

Su Chen ignored her.

Zhou Wanqiu gritted her teeth and said coldly, “Su Chen, what do you think you’re doing?”

“What’s wrong?” Su Chen asked, stunned.

“What’s wrong?” Zhou Wanqiu stared at him. “Didn’t we agree? We won’t interfere with each other’s love lives, but we have to keep a low profile. We agreed that we wouldn’t let scandals spread so Grandpa won’t find out.”

“But what about you? You were fooling around with Qin Yaoyao openly at the celebration party!”

“Are you looking to broadcast your affair?”

Zhou Wanqiu was furious.

Su Chen explained, “You might have misunderstood. I don’t have that kind of relationship with Qin Yaoyao.”

“Haha!” Zhou Wanqiu sneered. “I’m sure you’re well aware of what kind of relationship it is.”

“If you spend all day fooling around with her, you might get a disease. You might want to be careful! Hmph!”

After saying that, Zhou Wanqiu turned off the lights and hid under the covers, as if she didn’t want to hear another word from Su Chen.

Su Chen was speechless.

Fooling around all day?

He was still a virgin. Who was he fooling around with?

He didn’t say any of this out loud as he didn’t want to agitate Zhou Wanqiu further.

The next day…

After waking up, Zhou Wanqiu ignored Su Chen.

However, Su Chen was already used to it.

They pretended that nothing had happened. They finished their breakfast under Zhou Rongchang and Zhao Guirong’s gazes and drove to the office.

Nothing happened along the way.

Ring ring ring…

When Su Chen arrived at the office, he received a call.

Su Chen was surprised to see the caller ID.

It was the owner of Imperial Spring View Hotel, Liu Jinghao.

The last time he had dinner with Yao Zhenfeng, Liu Jinghao took the initiative to take down his contact information.

Su Chen could not figure out why he was calling so suddenly.

The call connected.

“Excuse me, is this Mr. Su?” Liu Jinghao was very polite.

“It’s me, Mr. Liu. What’s the matter?” Su Chen asked.

Liu Jinghao quickly said, “Mr. Su, it’s like this.”

“Last night, one of our waiters heard something. I felt like I should tell you.”

“What is it?” Su Chen was curious.

“It’s information that concerns the Zhao Family,” Liu Jinghao said. “Zhao Shijie is preparing to send someone to attack Zhou Catering Group’s fast food chain. Be prepared, Mr. Su.”

“The Zhou Fast Food Chain?” Su Chen frowned and asked, “Can you be more specific?”

“The waiter just happened to overhear a few words when he went to serve the dishes,” Liu Jinghao said. “According to him, Zhao Shijie wants someone to poison the food and create a scandal!”

“Mr. Liu, thank you for this information.”

Su Chen thanked him and quickly hung up before rushing to the CEO’s office.

In the food and beverage industry, hygiene and safety incidents were the most troublesome.

Even the largest food and beverage company could be destroyed by a small health and safety incident.

He had to inform Zhou Wanqiu about this news as soon as possible.

Su Chen walked quickly to her office.

However, when he reached the CEO’s office, Zhou Wanqiu was rushing out.

At this moment, her expression was gloomy.

It seemed that something bad had happened.

“CEO Zhou, what’s wrong?” Su Chen hurriedly asked.

Zhou Wanqiu was surprised to see Su Chen.

However, she was not in the mood to ask why Su Chen was there.

She explained directly, “Something happened at our fast food restaurant.

There’s a food poisoning incident at Chunjiang Road. I have to rush over now.”

“I’ll go with you,” Su Chen said seriously.

Zhou Wanqiu glanced at Su Chen and didn’t say anything else. She headed to the parking garage with him, and they drove to the Chunjiang Road outlet.

Zhou Fast Food Restaurant, Chunjiang Road.

At this moment…

A large crowd was gathered at the entrance of the restaurant. They looked inside curiously.

In the fast food restaurant, many diners were hugging their stomachs and moaning in pain on the ground.

Some doctors in white coats were giving emergency treatment.

The customer with the worst case of food poisoning had already been sent off in an ambulance.

Now, these poisoned diners could only rely on first aid treatment for the time being and wait for the next batch of ambulances to arrive.

Seeing this, the passers-by and the diners who had been fortunate enough to evade this fate began discussing the situation.

“There’s a big problem with the Zhou Fast Food Restaurant! Diners got food poisoning after eating their food. They’re scamming their customers!”

“That’s right! They probably used expired ingredients. I was lucky enough that I didn’t order those poisonous dishes.”

“My luck is pretty good too. I had yet to take a bite when a few customers collapsed. I was so scared that I quickly threw away my plate!”

“I’ve been to this restaurant many times. Why is it like this now? The desire for profit changed them. I’ll never come here again!”

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation as they denounced Zhou Catering Group.

Zhou Wanqiu’s car arrived..
