"Old Three, hurry up! I think I’ve been electrocuted. This vehicle is a bit cursed, feels like there’s a leakage on the floor!"

"Don’t panic, I’ll get a wooden block."

Old Three found two wooden blocks and tossed them at the entrance of the food truck, then stepped on them to get inside.

"Old Four, this is insane! Even standing on wooden blocks, we can get electrocuted! Don’t co in, use a rope to pull us out!"

Old Four could see the situation was off. Where the heck was he supposed to find a rope?

Old Four took off his shirt, grabbed one of the sleeves, and tossed it inside. Old Three strengthened his legs, used his arm strength, and was pulled out by the sleeve.

Then it was Yang Zhou and Shao Hailong’s turn; they were all pulled out.

Old Four watched as his three brothers lay paralyzed on the ground, "What the hell happened?"

Shao Hailong was dumbfounded, "I don’t know, suddenly my legs went numb. Hurry up, they’re coming back! Help up."

Old Five said, "Don’t panic, we’ve waited so long, we can’t not have this at!"

He didn’t get inside the vehicle. Instead, he stood outside, "Old Four, Old Six, lend a hand. Give a lift."

The food truck was quite high. It was difficult to get the dishes out through the window from the ground.

Old Four and Old Six squatted down to create a human step, while Old Five stepped onto their thighs. They used this thod frequently when facing high courtyard walls; it was their way over.

Old Five reached his arms into the food truck. Even with gloves on, he was unafraid of the heat. He was about to reach the dish.

"Bang bang bang..."

The three of them fell simultaneously.

"This isn’t..."

"Is it electric-shock from a distance?"

"What the hell do you an? Is there electricity on the ground?"

The six of them sat in a row, leaning against the food truck. Xiao Juzi squatted on the ground, licking the lamb bone, "Ha!!!"

...

"The opposing gang is committing cris, they’re repeat offenders. Be cautious; they might have weapons on them!" Liu Yang said this, but he actually didn’t have any weapons.

The backup officers held police batons, moving slowly along the wall. The closer they got to the Cultural Square, the more cautious they beca.

The next turn would lead them to the Cultural Square. Liu Yang raised his hand to signal them to stop moving, then made several sequential gestures that only insiders could understand.

The aning was: I’ll pretend to approach from the front, then you surround them from the sides to take them by surprise!

The backup team mbers nodded one after another.

Liu Yang tidied his clothes and walked out of the corner ostentatiously. When he saw it, he was stunned.

What were those six people lying on the ground doing?

Shao Hailong saw soone coming and, realizing it was the custor who had been waiting to eat the lamb, imdiately shouted, "Help us, please! Bro, give us a hand; we all got electrocuted!"

Yang Zhou also shouted, "Yes, we suddenly got electrocuted. Please save us."

Could it be a trap set by the opponents?

Liu Yang continued walking forward, maintaining full vigilance, and reached the six people, "What are you guys doing?"

The six lay promptly on the ground. Initially, their arms could move, but now they were completely immobilized.

How could electrocution be continuous like this?

Liu Yang picked up a stick from the ground and poked Shao Hailong. It seed he really couldn’t move. It didn’t look like they were pretending.

This...

Then he took out his phone, "Co on over; sothing seems to have happened."

The backup team rushed in. Shao Hailong and the others saw people in police uniforms rushing in; they were dumbfounded. Where did all these cops co from?

"Ah, ah, ooh ooh ah!"

He opened his mouth to speak but realized...

"What the hell are they jabbering about? What’s going on here?" the backup team leader asked.

Liu Yang was puzzled too, "I don’t know. When I got here, these six were already lying down, and now they can’t even speak... Oh, is that drooling?"

"That one over there is rolling his eyes!"

"Look, that one wet his pants!"

"Should we call an ambulance?"

Liu Yang waved his hand, "No rush. Could it be food poisoning?"

That couldn’t be it either; he ate the sa noodles, and he was fine. Was the lamb tainted?

But when he looked up, the lamb was still simring under the lid.

Strange.

Liu Yang called Chen Mo. Boss Xiao Chen quickly returned to the scene. Seeing the six people lying on the floor, he was also puzzled and wondered to himself.

"So this is so kind of minor punishnt?"

[You can ss with money but not the dishes!]

"Next ti, don’t touch my money either."

[...]

Liu Yang pointed at the vehicle, "Boss Xiao Chen, can you check if anything is missing?"

Chen Mo climbed into the food truck, opened the cabinet, and casually rummaged through it, "Three thousand were stolen! Fifteen hundred were the advance paynts from you guys, and the other portion was all small change, even a few Yuan bills!"

Liu Yang had long grasped the threads of this gang, squatting down to search Shao Hailong’s pockets directly.

To find ten thousand Yuan first.

"Ah, that’s my money!" Yu Hui charged forward with a knife he brought from ho, scaring Shao Hailong into repeatedly yelling.

Liu Yang reached out to stop Old Yu, "That’s not necessary; you can put the knife down first."

"Oh!" Yu Hui put down the knife, "I realized money was missing when I got ho. I told you guys, ten thousand were missing!"

Liu Yang nodded, "But I can’t give it to you just yet. You’ll need to co back with us for a report later."

Because there’s no imdiate proof that it’s Old Yu’s money, cooperation during the report is needed for it to be returned.

Then he continued searching.

In another pocket, sure enough, he found a handful of money!

Liu Yang looked at the fifty cents, the ones, the fives, "Boss Xiao Chen, how co you have so much small change?"

Chen Mo took the money, "They dare to steal this? These are the rit Money I got at the temple in Jingzhou!"

Hiss!

Yu Hui fiercely pointed at the six people on the ground, "It must be Buddha who intervened because he couldn’t stand them anymore!"

This explanation sounded sowhat reasonable.

Liu Yang also stated, "Boss Xiao Chen, maybe you should co for the report too."

"No need."

Liu Yang asked, "Why not?"

"I have surveillance on the vehicle. Even when it’s off, it can monitor. Let get the mory card for you."

Chen Mo climbed in and pulled out the mory card, "Here, my surveillance system monitors around the food truck, including inside it."

The backup team leader pulled a small device from his pocket. After inserting the mory card into it, he plugged the other end into a phone to play the video.

They watched it from start to finish.

They saw Shao Hailong first steal the money from the cabinet, then go for the at.

"Damn, these six aren’t even human! They wanted to steal at while we were gone!"

"Why did they suddenly fall over? Is this like Grandpa, help from afar?"

"And this is supposed to be a cri gang? What intelligence?"

"It is indeed a bit strange, almost like it was Buddha’s will..."

The reason why the six suddenly fell remains a mystery, temporarily chalked up by Liu Yang as food poisoning or sothing.

The main point is not this; the point is that they managed to apprehend a long-established cri gang without a scratch!

The team leader loaded the six into the van they ca in, glancing at the lamb simring on the food truck, copied the video from the mory card, and returned it to Chen Mo before leaving.

Liu Yang and Wang Zhifeng were quite reluctant because they still hadn’t tasted the at.

Dunzi returned to the vehicle after witnessing the entire process.

"Damn, I knew from the start those guys weren’t up to any good. Luckily I snagged their al which held them up!"

LuLu rolled her eyes at him, "Co on, if it weren’t for Boss Xiao Chen, you’d still be hiding in the truck not daring to co out."

"Who doesn’t dare co out!" Dunzi’s confidence was high, a stark contrast from earlier.

Chen Mo smiled and shook his head, returning to the truck.

The progress bar had already slipped past the best timing, aning the lamb had been simring for quite a while.

He reached out to take down the dish, noticing that the previously intact slices were now almost ltingly tender.

Ordinarily, the final thickening process of braised dishes is what ties the dish together, but with green onion braised lamb, it isn’t needed. A perfect dish sees the lamb broth rging with the at such that the broth itself thickens.

Besides, because of the extended simring, there was no need to continue braising. Chen Mo used a black spoon to scoop out the tender slices. Using the spoon felt natural, and the at was easily placed neatly on the plate.

He then took the thickened, slightly golden lamb broth and poured it over the at slices.

Finally, he placed the large scallions that had been simred in the broth evenly over the lamb slices.

Green Onion Braised Lamb, complete!
