"This isn't ours..." The skinny man shouted, "We've been frad..."
The response he got was a slap in the face.
To Yang Ruxin's surprise, the one who slapped him was Cheng Fofo.
"You beast, using such disgusting ans to fra us!" Cheng Fofo trembled with rage. "I swear I wish I could kill you." Ever since she started working for the young lady, even as a servant, her family had been living their most peaceful and carefree days after their disaster. She devoted herself wholeheartedly to running the firepot restaurant, only to be sared by these people. Her anger was truly at its peak.
"Fofo." Yang Ruxin quickly stepped forward to hold her shoulders. "Careful, your hand might hurt! It's not worth it, don't be mad... Getting angry makes you age faster! Then how will you find a handso suitor?"
Cheng Fofo sniffled, stamped her foot, and said, "Young lady, what are you saying?"
Yang Ruxin reached out and rubbed her head. "Just saying what Uncle Cheng really thinks." She winked at Cheng Qian as she spoke.
Cheng Qian laughed, his mood visibly lightened. "Yes, the young lady is absolutely right."
Cheng Fofo's face turned red with embarrassnt, but her initial agitation had subsided.
"Everyone saw it, right? These people clearly have sinister motives," Yu Qingge seized the opportunity to shout loudly. "They even brought arsenic! Isn't this outright plotting to kill for money?"
The onlookers burst into anger and started condemning fiercely.
"What kind of grudge does it take to use such vicious thods?"
"What grudge? It's clearly jealousy. Jealous of their firepot restaurant making money!"
"Could it be the other two restaurants that did this?"
"Who knows?"
"It's truly terrifying. People like this must not be tolerated."
The owners of the other two firepot restaurants nearly spat blood in frustration. While they were jealous, they would never stoop to such despicable acts. Talk about collateral damage.
But at this mont, they wisely kept their mouths shut, waiting for the Governor's Office to interrogate and reveal the mastermind behind these people. Then their innocence would naturally be proven.
Yang Ruxin was very satisfied with this outco. She walked up to the fat man. "I'm guessing if I ask you who the mastermind is now, you wouldn't tell , right?"
The fat man imdiately turned his head away.
"Let remind you about sothing." Yang Ruxin raised her hand and touched her nose. "According to the usual logic, when you're bribed to fra soone, your ending is already dood... If you succeed, you'll die because only dead n don't reveal the mastermind behind them. At that point, you'll have money but no life to spend it. But if you fail, as you have now, your ending is usually still death. You're useless as pawns and you know the secrets of those people. So only dead n can keep secrets. That's called having money but lacking the ability to earn and enjoy it." She paused and sighed, "So you'd better make the most of these final days while you're still alive. I'd guess the earliest they'll make their move is tonight, the latest is tomorrow night."
"Of course, if you're willing to confess, then you'd be making up for your wrongs. That would give us a reason to protect you," Yu Qingge quickly chid in slyly. "So, dying versus alive—that's quite the philosophical question... Brothers, you really should think it over carefully. Don't let your lives end in regret."
