Everyone ca to the front desk of the hot pot restaurant, settled the bill under the surprised gaze of the cashier, thinking that Tang Qing and his friends have to rush back. Leaving the hot pot restaurant, they head toward the place they had dinner the night before...
"Tang Qing, what’s going on?" Once they were a safe distance away, Zeng Rou quickly asked.
Tang Qing slowed down, not avoiding the question, and said, "There’s sothing in the spicy soup base of that restaurant. Don’t eat there anymore. From now on, you should also eat less hot pot, especially if you find the spicy taste particularly satisfying."
"What is it?" Zeng Rou was startled, and the other won were also curiously waiting for Tang Qing’s explanation.
"Poppy shell."
Tang Qing popped out a term.
Hearing this word, the won’s faces changed. Of course they knew what it was, they just didn’t expect that they had almost eaten it just now. Zeng Rou was frightened, no wonder the food tasted so good last ti, and the spiciness was extrely authentic. That’s because they put this stuff in.
A wave of fear washed over her, what if they had beco addicted over ti... Zeng Rou didn’t dare to imagine.
What followed was unparalleled outrage.
"What? How dare they? I’m going to confront them." Saying that, hot-tempered Zeng Rou imdiately planned to go back and question them, but was imdiately stopped by Tang Qing.
Zeng Rou was surprised to see this side of Tang Qing.
Tang Qing had no choice but to explain, "Don’t be impulsive, confronting them now won’t solve the problem. Let’s report it to the relevant authorities instead, let them investigate. We don’t need to take unnecessary risks."
Zeng Rou, reminded by Tang Qing, also cald down. Going back now would be unwise, possibly leading to a whole lot of trouble. Indeed, there was no need to take risks in dealing with such unscrupulous rchants.
"Well, wait a mont, let make a call."
With that, Zeng Rou took out her mobile phone and dialed a number.
"My darling girl, what’s the matter?" After the call was connected, a strong and full voice ca over. The other won couldn’t clearly hear the content of the conversation, but Tang Qing could.
"Dad, soone is trying to hurt ," Zeng Rou said with a look of grievance and a hint of crying in her tone.
This caused an imdiate uproar on the other end of the line.
"What? Who dares to do that, don’t they want to live? Quickly tell daddy who it is, see if I don’t deal with them." The voice was full of concern and indulgence, soone was trying to harm his precious daughter, he would not allow it.
"It’s the hot pot restaurant you took to when you last sent to school. They put poppy shells in their food." Zeng Rou’s acting skills were top notch, full of grievance and fear. The person on the other end of the call couldn’t resist.
"Is that so? They’ve grown leopard’s guts! No wonder I thought it tasted pretty good last ti. Have you been going there regularly these days?" Zeng Rou’s father asked hurriedly.
"No, I only went there once with you, and it was my classmate who discovered it this ti. We were about to eat...thankfully we didn’t." As she spoke, Zeng Rou glanced at Tang Qing. The calm Zeng Rou realized a problem - how did Tang Qing find out?
But she chose to trust Tang Qing’s judgent.
The person on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "That’s good, change places for lunch, I’ll take care of this imdiately."
"Bye, Dad." Zeng Rou said sweetly, making the person on the other end of the phone feel warm. This was followed by a surge of anger. Damn, you’re in deep trouble now.
Zeng Rou hung up the phone.
Zeng Rou cheerfully said, "Don’t worry, my dad will handle this. Humph, they refuse to do honest business and instead resort to unlawful practices. It’s too despicable." She believed her father would give the restaurant owner a lesson he wouldn’t forget.
The other won also nodded in agreent.
They were still overco with fear.
Tang Qing didn’t ask who her father was or anything like that. He had no interest in knowing. Tang Qing was originally considering having a Fighter or Shen Yi handle the situation, but now it seed unnecessary. Soone was doing the job, and he was happy to relax.
"Tang Qing, how did you co to know they put this thing in?" Zeng Rou asked curiously. Earlier, Tang Qing seed to discern it just by sniffing, even amidst the strong spiciness, it was incredible.
Could it be that Tang Qing is very familiar with this stuff?
Zeng Rou suspiciously looked at Tang Qing.
Seeing the expressions of Zeng Rou and the other won, Tang Qing knew he had to clarify now, or they would probably think sothing was up with him. He wasn’t a drug addict.
"What are you thinking? My sense of sll is just more developed. I’ve encountered such unscrupulous rchants before and my friend taught them a good lesson. He taught how to identify the sll of this stuff." Tang Qing explained lightly.
Although the won were puzzled, they didn’t actually suspect Tang Qing.
Lin Jiaxue trusted him without any doubt.
Considering the changes in Tang Qing over this period and how everything good that happened related to his friend, and all the ’black tech’ in the villa, she believed him. She knew what kind of person Tang Qing was, he certainly wouldn’t get involved with such stuff.
After lunch.
On their way ho, they saw several police cars and a vehicle from the Shanghai Administration of Industry and Comrce parked outside the hot pot restaurant. Many diners were standing at the entrance, cursing vehently. They also learned that unclean substances had been used in the restaurant.
Each one of them was filled with indignation.
Quite a few influential figures were making phone calls. Tang Qing shook his head, thinking that the restaurant owner, having offended so many people, was beyond redemption. Not only would he lose his profits due to fines, but he was also facing detention.
As for imprisonnt...
Tang Qing wasn’t optimistic. There were still regulatory blind spots in this area in the country. Although it was specified that ’anesthetics’ could not be arbitrarily operated, there were no punishnt provisions for non-criminal acts. Before, violations would have been punished according to the provisions of the ’Managent thod of Anesthetics’.
However, as of July 26 of this year, 2005, the ’Regulations for the Administration of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances’ ca into effect, and the ’Anesthetics Managent thod’ was abolished at the sa ti.
This ant that penalties were virtually nonexistent.
So lawbreakers had utilized this loophole to conduct illegal operations of such substances.
Not until seven years later, at the end of 2014, when there were more and more business operators committing such illegal acts, did the country adopt a ’zero tolerance’ policy toward this behavior. Therefore, right now, the most the restaurant owner can face is a fine and detention. Imprisonnt is not possible.
However, if Zeng Rou’s family was extrely powerful, the fate of the restaurant owner would probably be worse than bankruptcy.
Tang Qing did not underestimate a father’s indulgence in his daughter, especially a powerful father. He would not be surprised at all about any actions taken against those who would dare to harm her.
Thinking of this...
Tang Qing had another idea.
It was to set up a website similar to ’Find Relatives Network’, specifically exposing various unscrupulous rchants in the food safety center, and giving the public a healthy eating environnt. Nowadays, food safety problems in the country are becoming increasingly severe. Various strange diseases are erging one after another, the cancer rate is skyrocketing, and this has a lot to do with those unscrupulous rchants.
Setting up a website to expose them would be a contribution. Tang Qing was truly distressed by things like lamine, Sudan red, ractopamine, plasticizers, and gutter oil in his previous life. He even doubted if there was any clean food in the world.
As for other forms of punishnt...
That was the matter of the state. Tang Qing had neither the interest to interfere nor the courage to do so. As before, at any ti, neither individuals nor other forces could replace the state in law enforcent, because this directly involved a country’s right to law enforcent.
Just like private punishnt, no matter how much of a bastard the other person is, if you kill them, it still accounts to murder and exemption from criminal punishnt is not possible. This is because the country has laws and law enforcent power lies with the state. If you infringe this power and overstep your bounds, regardless of right or wrong, it would be a provocation to the state laws. At most, discretionary treatnt can be considered, but exemption from criminal punishnt is impossible. If not, then what is the use of having laws?
Tang Qing did not dare to overstep.
It was a bottom line.
He could only expose, but he would not get involved in handling the matter.
Not only the food safety, but even the actions of those black tour guides and black travel agencies that they encountered last ti could be exposed. Tang Qing had thought about the na for the website, ’Blue Sky’. The website wouldn’t accept any forms of contributions or edits from users. The users could only read, discuss, and report to the backstage.
Upon receipt of the report...
The fighters would verify it.
This was to prevent people from hiring gunn who would stir up trouble on the website, creating confusion, and filling the online world with all kinds of junk information. This left people bewildered.
The entire website would only voice one thing, that is, ’the truth found out through investigation’.
Especially regarding food safety issues, it would be easy to handle. They didn’t even need to visit their factory. They could simply buy the products on the market then produce a research report in the research area. As for whether the public would believe it, well...
Once this report was recognized by the appraisal institutions worldwide, and that fabricated lab rolled out so impressive results, no one would doubt it ever again. It was not difficult to operate, and Tang Qing was ready to include not only dostic companies but also those worldwide into the scope of his efforts.
So as to avoid being too region-focused...
Even though it seed a bit like ddling, but his influence would surely spread globally and beco the top presence in the future. Since that’s the case, why differentiate so clearly? Foreigners are people too. There are also ordinary people, people who can’t afford food, dical treatnt, who have no ho to return to, who die of starvation and freeze to death abroad.
Anyway, it wouldn’t increase any costs.
They watched as the owner of the unscrupulous hot pot restaurant was brought out, hauled onto a police car, and cheered by the crowd.
"Serves him right, these people should all be sent to jail," Zeng Rou said vehently.
Tang Qing couldn’t help reminding her, "He won’t go to jail, at most he will be detained and fined, because there is a legal loophole in this area, there are regulatory gaps, and there are no suitable penalty regulations."
Zeng Rou didn’t care, she fixed her eyes determinedly on the restaurant owner, "Then they should fine him more, make him bankrupt."
"..."
Tang Qing didn’t say anything more. He knew that Zeng Rou would definitely call her dad again. Sure enough, as the motorcade drove off and the hot pot restaurant was closed, Zeng Rou made another call to her father, who on the other side assured her that the restaurant owner would be severely punished.
Alright then...
All Tang Qing could do was to hold a mont of silence for the restaurant owner.
