"I told you there was sothing wrong with that Maple Restaurant. How could Han Na and the others suddenly just disappear."
Zi Die said through gritted teeth.
"This doesn’t make sense. How could a restaurant dare to do such a thing? Normally, they wouldn’t have the guts, right?"
Zi Qing said, puzzled.
"Whether they did it or not, it definitely can’t be unrelated to them."
Su Mo said calmly. If you listened closely, you could hear that Su Mo’s voice was very cold.
"Zi Die, take Han Na back to rest; the rest of you, co with ."
Qian Chengxue said with a nacing look in her eyes.
...
Monts later, Qian Chengxue and Su Mo surrounded the entire Maple Restaurant with their people.
"What do you want to do?"
The waiters inside the restaurant imdiately sensed sothing was wrong and questioned them.
"Tell your person in charge to co out imdiately!"
Qian Chengxue slamd a fist onto an empty table, cracking its entire stone surface.
The waiters present were terrified and retreated.
The diners, however, watched with interest, not afraid at all.
At this mont, the manager of Maple Restaurant ca out imdiately and said viciously: "What do you want to do? I warn you to leave at once. I’ve already called the police."
Qian Chengxue said coldly: "We’ve found our missing sisters, and they passed out in your restaurant. Either you honestly explain who did it, or no one will escape responsibility."
"Are you crazy? I’ve already told you; they left after eating. Are you trying to fra us?"
Ma Li said unceremoniously.
"You say it has nothing to do with you, so show us the security footage."
Su Mo said indifferently.
"Stop making unreasonable trouble. I’ve already told you, the cara was coincidentally under repair. What does it have to do with us if your people go missing? Maybe they went out drinking again after eating and ssed around with people. Also, let remind you this is the Gaojia Republic’s establishnt. Don’t think we’re easy to bully."
Ma Li, acting like a scoundrel, imdiately changed his tone.
At this mont, a group of guards in chanical armor walked in, and the leading Captain Ketu frowned and yelled.
"What are you doing? Who allowed you to cause trouble here?"
"Captain Ketu, these Federation people are too much. Their people had an incident and blad us."
Maple Restaurant manager Ma Li said without reservation, turning the accusation around.
Qian Chengxue turned to the Guard Captain and said: "Our people were eating here and got knocked out, and were even insulted."
The Guard Captain of the Gaojia Republic also frowned and said to Qian Chengxue: "Do you have evidence?"
"Our sisters said they passed out here. If you don’t believe us, you can check the footage."
Qian Chengxue said firmly.
"Captain, you see that these Federation people are just here to make trouble. Our store’s surveillance coincidentally had an issue and was under repair, and they’re seizing on this point."
Ma Li complained to the Guard Captain.
The Captain of the Guard, Ketu, upon hearing this, looked at Qian Chengxue and the others increasingly unfavorably.
Just then, Chen ng led a group of people in Federation uniforms inside.
"Sister Xue, I’ve brought the consulate staff from the Blue Whale here."
Su Mo showed a trace of surprise on his face and couldn’t help but glance at Qian Chengxue, thinking she was thorough in her considerations.
Ketu saw that the Federation consulate staff had arrived, so he stepped forward and said: "Gentlen, your people, without understanding the situation and without absolute evidence, just ca to the restaurant and caused trouble, impacting their business. How does that look? We’ve already been here before and verified with the manager. Those three girls just ca here for a al and left after eating, having nothing to do with the restaurant after that."
The Federation officials present looked at each other, then turned to ask Qian Chengxue.
"What they’re saying makes sense. Do you have any decisive evidence? If not, how can you casually surround soone’s restaurant? This could damage the relationship between the two civilizations."
"My sisters said it very clearly; they passed out here. And how could it be such a coincidence that the surveillance broke?"
Qian Chengxue frowned and said.
"Do you have evidence?"
The leading Federation official, Eller, said a bit impatiently.
In fact, which Federation official stationed on the Blue Whale hasn’t received benefits from the Gaojia Empire, and who hasn’t enjoyed the services on the Blue Whale?
At critical monts, they definitely aren’t biased on anyone’s side.
Qian Chengxue frowned, her expectations were caught off guard by this situation.
On the side, Su Mo’s gaze grew colder as he quietly watched everyone present.
At this mont, in his eyes, each of these people was no different from a dead person.
Right then, an abrupt voice broke the silence.
"This is very simple. If the people passed out in your restaurant, you don’t need evidence; the restaurant needs to take responsibility. Also, stop making excuses about the surveillance being broken. Every area on the Blue Whale has surveillance equipnt, all brand new. All operational shops must have surveillance to operate. What a coincidence that it’s broken right as sothing happened. You’re obviously suspicious."
Su Mo and others turned their heads to look, seeing a man wearing a white suit, golden-rimd glasses, with blonde hair, a handso face, and an elegant deanor speaking calmly.
"You say there’s a problem, so there’s a problem?"
Ketu was also irritated. How do these self-righteous people keep popping out?
"This matter is no longer just a simple clash, but a cri, a blatant cri. It already concerns issues between the Gaojia Republic and the Federation. Is this how the Gaojia Republic handles affairs? And you guys, being from the Federation Consulate, is this how you handle matters when your citizens face injustice?"
The young man in front of them questioned both parties forcefully.
Su Mo was also a bit amazed; this young man was quite impressive.
"Who are you? Is it your turn to speak? Can you represent the Federation?"
The face of several Federation officials present was thickened with embarrassnt.
The young man stood up straight, took out a certificate for everyone to see, and solemnly said.
"Let introduce myself. My na is Alles, belonging to the Federation Governnt’s Advanced Councilman. In a sense, I am qualified to represent the Federation. This matter is not trivial. It would be considered as a challenge to the dignity of the Federation. To my knowledge, similar incidents on the Blue Whale have not just happened once or twice. If this is how the Gaojia Empire handles matters, I think the Blue Whale can consider not flying anymore. This matter must be thoroughly investigated, regardless of who it involves, and whoever did it must be punished without exception, no leniency!"
