Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Liu Wenshuo had only just finished speaking!

“Boom!

“Ugh!”

“Wow!

In the hall, the patients started vomiting.

Those sounds seemed to accentuate Liu Wenshuo’s previous statement. He said he would eat their vomit!

For a moment, awkwardness filled the space!

Liu Wenshuo’s face turned red.

He opened his mouth slightly, not knowing what to say.

Li Hong also looked at Su Chen in shock.

However, Su Chen did not have time to pay attention to the two of them. Instead, he went forward to observe the patients.

With the help of the waiters and nurses, every patient vomited a large amount of food residue.

They also expelled something black that seemed to be poisonous.

After Su Chen finished examining them, she turned to Zhou Wanqiu and said, “Let’s hurry to the hospital.”

“What’s wrong?” Zhou Wanqiu asked.

Su Chen’s expression darkened. “The poison that was used is quite strong. I’m worried that some of the patients might die.”

Zhou Wanqiu was shocked.

Beside them, Liu Wenshuo seemed to be a little unconvinced, but he did not dare to refute his words now.

He was afraid that once he opened his mouth, Su Chen would take his previous comment seriously. He was afraid that he would make him fulfill his promise to eat the vomit.

Zhou Wanqiu was very decisive. She told Su Chen that they would head to the hospital.

At this moment, one of the patients with milder symptoms stood up to stop them.

“You’re leaving just like that? Shouldn’t you give us an explanation?”

Immediately, the other patients whose conditions had improved quickly agreed.

“Yes! You have to give us an explanation!”

“We got food poisoning in your restaurant. You have to give us an explanation!”

“I suspect that my body has been damaged. I request a comprehensive examination!”

The patients were about to make a fuss.

Zhou Wanqiu was very decisive and said directly, “Everyone, don’t be anxious. Zhou Catering Group will investigate this matter, and we’ll be responsible for it! I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer.

“We will provide a comprehensive checkup for everyone. During this period, our company will be responsible for all medical expenses, nutrition expenses, and lost time!

“Everyone here will be given 200,000 yuan in cash as compensation. I hope you can understand!”

Zhou Wanqiu apologized sincerely.

The group of customers who had food poisoning immediately stopped making a fuss.

Su Chen nodded.

She was being very sincere.

The customers didn’t have anything else to say.

“Everyone, wait here for a moment. When the ambulances arrive, we’ll make sure you’re taken to the hospital. Right now, I need to go to the hospital to visit the other four critically ill patients,” Zhou Wanqiu explained.

This time, no customers stopped them.

Zhou Wanqiu and Su Chen walked out of the fast food restaurant.

Then, an acquaintance walked towards them.

It was none other than Li Wandao from the Health Department.

Behind him, there were many staff members from the Health Department.

Zhou Wanqiu’s brows furrowed slightly as she went up to him. “Mr. Li, you’re here for…”

Li Wandao’s expression was gloomy. “CEO Zhou, we received a report that there’s a food hygiene and safety incident here. We need to shut it down temporarily and investigate the reason for the incident. I have no choice…”

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Su Chen apologetically.

Su Chen nodded in understanding.

Although the Li family and Li Wandao were trying to curry favor with him, he still had to follow official procedures.

Zhou Wanqiu expressed her understanding.

Li Wandao took a step closer and said in a low voice, “CEO Zhou, I have a vague idea that the Zhao family might have instructed someone to do this. I suggest that you find the culprit as soon as possible so that the damage to Zhou Catering Group’s reputation can be minimized.”

Zhou Wanqiu was enlightened.

She nodded and gritted her teeth. “The Zhao family is shameless. They’re actually willing to sacrifice innocent lives to achieve their goals.”

Li Wandao sighed. “Anyway, CEO Zhou, you should find the culprit as soon as possible. I’ll try my best to help you subdue the storm! However, you have to be careful not to let similar vicious incidents happen again!”

Zhou Wanqiu nodded and said goodbye to Li Wandao.

Then, she went to the hospital with Su Chen.

After they arrived at the hospital, they received the test results from the doctor.

Three of the four severely poisoned customers had been saved!

However, they had failed to save a customer named Wang Hegang. He had died.

Zhou Wanqiu was shocked to hear this.

Immediately after, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed.

Fortunately, Su Chen held her up and prevented her from falling.

Zhou Wanqiu’s eyes were red, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

“Wang Hegang is innocent. He died because of our family!” Zhou Wanqiu muttered.

Su Chen was also livid.

An innocent life was lost just like that.

Although he had killed people, he had only killed those who deserved it.

However, Wang Hegang had not offended anyone. He had done nothing wrong!

He died because the Zhao family wanted to deal with the Zhou family.

At this moment, two women ran toward Zhou Wanqiu.

“Give me back my husband! Give me back Wang Hegang!”

“Why were you running a restaurant like that? Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”

“I want my husband back!”

A woman in her thirties was crying and pointing at Zhou Wanqiu.

Beside her, another woman who was about the same age quickly stopped her.

Su Chen immediately realized that these two women were probably the family members of the deceased.

After some time, they learned that the crying woman was called He Lili. She was the wife of the deceased customer, Wang Hegang.

The woman accompanying her was called Zhao Xia, her best friend.

Zhou Wanqiu’s eyes were red. She bowed deeply to He Lili. “Ms. He, I’m sorry.

I’m also very sorry for what happened. I’m willing to do everything I can to make it up to you.”

He Lili burst into tears and barely managed to stay standing with Zhao Xia’s help.

“How are you going to make it up to me?” she sobbed weakly. “My husband is gone! My daughter is only four years old, and she already has no father! How are you going to make it up to her?”

He Lili cried miserably.

Zhou Wanqiu opened her mouth.

She did not know how to comfort this woman.

At this moment, Su Chen said, “Ms. He Lili, we are really sorry for what happened. Zhou Catering Group is willing to compensate you and your daughter with 10 million yuan.

“In addition, if you encounter any problems in the future, you can contact our company directly. We will do our best to help you solve them.”

After Su Chen finished speaking, He Lili and Zhao Xia were stunned.

They had never expected Su Chen to offer 10 million yuan as compensation.

One had to know that the compensation for death in a typical traffic accident was at most one million yuan.

Su Chen’s offer was very sincere.

Although He Lili’s face was still filled with grief, she seemed to feel a bit better.

Zhao Xia, who was taking care of He Lili, went to sit down.

Su Chen turned to Zhou Wanqiu and said, “CEO Zhou, please forgive me for making this decision without your permission. I know how to get the money.”

Su Chen was about to say that he would ask the Zhao family to compensate them.

In the end, Zhou Wanqiu said, “Our company will compensate them. You handled it well!”

Su Chen was stunned.

He didn’t expect Zhou Wanqiu to support him. He didn’t expect that she’d be willing to compensate He Lili with such a large sum of money.

Although this woman had a strange temperament, she was still very kind.

Zhou Wanqiu didn’t say anything else about this. Instead, she frowned and said, “Now, we must focus on what’s more important.

“Will the Zhao family continue to attack us? Can we do anything about it?”

“I can make a call. Maybe I can find out.”

Zhou Wanqiu glanced at Su Chen but didn’t say anything else.

It was obvious that she did not believe that Su Chen had such connections.

Su Chen ignored Zhou Wanqiu’s expression. He called Liu Jinghao.

The call went through.

“Mr. Su, I was just about to call you.”

“I received some news. Zhao Shijie wants to make a move on Ruyi Restaurant, another one of Zhou Catering Group’s restaurants!”

Liu Jinghao went straight to the point.

“Thank you, Mr. Liu.”

Su Chen hung up the phone and turned to Zhou Wanqiu. “I got it..”
