The security guard asked anxiously, "Then why does it seem like they're not buying it?"

"How could I possibly know about this?"

Helpless, the security guard glanced at Duan Yuanping again.

Duan Yuanping immediately took out his identification.

"Why, do you still doubt my identity?"

Seeing that he was indeed from the King's Palace, the security guard agreed to go find the boss immediately.

After saying that, the security guard hurriedly ran to the backyard.

At this point, the waiter seemed somewhat at a loss.

Just as she was about to leave, Zhang Beixing said, "You'd better stand here quietly until the boss comes."

Everyone started talking about it, wondering what was going on and why these three people were so unhappy.
Could it be that the waiter really lied to them?

The waiter felt sweat pouring down his face.

She was pondering how to get out of this crisis.

She turned her gaze to Zhang Beixing, only to see him looking at her with a mocking expression.

The security guard arrived at the backyard and told the manager everything. The manager was a man with a large beard.

He was wondering to himself, when has the store ever held a prize draw?

"What is Ma Yulan doing?" The Ma Yulan the manager was referring to was the waitress.

The security guard also felt that Ma Yulan's actions were too outrageous and simply unbelievable.

The manager and security guards immediately rushed to the lobby.

When Ma Yulan saw the manager, she trembled with fear. After all, she was working for him and had to listen to him.

What should I do?
The manager then asked the security guard to explain what had happened to those guests.

The security guard walked up to Zhang Beixing and his two companions, pointed at them, and said, "These are the three of them."

The manager smiled, nodded to the three of them, and said, "I was in the backyard and didn't get here in time, so I'm not entirely sure what happened, but I will definitely take responsibility."

He was deeply sorry for the inconvenience caused to the three guests.

After speaking, the manager bowed to the three men. This gesture made the three men respect the manager even more.

The manager immediately turned his attention to Ma Yulan.

"Explain this to me, what exactly is going on?"

Ma Yulan stammered that she had just decided to do this on a whim to increase the store's visibility and attract more customers.

"Manager, I'm so sorry, I haven't had a chance to tell you about this yet."

The manager sneered, "Tell me the truth!"

At this moment, almost everyone in the hall fell silent.

Although there were still a few guests eating, all eyes were turned to this side.

Ma Yulan immediately felt sweat pouring down her face and her cheeks burning.

"I'm asking you a question, so hurry up and explain! Didn't you hear me?" Zhu Xiaoling said with a displeased expression.

This woman is infuriating; she still won't tell the truth even when she sees the manager.

Ma Yulan wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

"I'll give you ten seconds to quickly organize your thoughts," the manager said coldly.

Zhu Xiaoling was initially worried that the manager would favor his own employees.

Now it seems that this worry was completely unnecessary.

Ten seconds passed, and the manager stared coldly at Ma Yulan.

Ma Yulan closed her eyes and said, "I'll tell the truth."

She said it was all for Master Lin.

If it weren't for Zhang Beixing, Master Lin wouldn't have gone to jail, much less committed robbery.

Zhang Beixing and his two companions hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Now, the people around them started talking again.

"Master Lin, isn't that the descendant of the previous dynasty who wants to do bad things?"

"Yeah, I never thought he was so awful."

"Many people fell for his tricks back then. This kind of person should have been punished long ago."

"I didn't expect there were other people in cahoots with him. This kind of person is no good either."

The manager then asked Ma Yulan what was going on and what her relationship was with Master Lin.
"He is a distant relative of mine, and also my benefactor."

She said that even if everyone speaks ill of him, in her eyes he is a good person.

“Zhang Beixing, he was sitting there perfectly fine, why did you expose him? Tell me, why?”

Ma Yulan's voice grew louder and louder, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Zhang Beixing had no intention of explaining; she was acting like a madwoman, and reasoning with her was pointless.

The reason she inquired about Zhang Beixing's license plate number was that she wanted to tamper with the wheels so that the car would explode after they had driven a few miles.

At that time, everyone in the car will die.

"That woman is really cruel."

"That's right, it's outrageous!" Soon, the people around started talking about it again.

Enraged, Zhang Beixing slapped her hard across the face.

"This is really unreasonable!"

Zhu Xiaoling was so frightened that she hugged her arm. Luckily, Zhang Beixing was smart, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Duan Yuanping felt a wave of fear wash over him.

The manager was trembling with anger, and he sincerely apologized to Zhang Beixing and the other man once again.

"Alright, manager, this is her own doing, it has nothing to do with you, so don't feel guilty."

But Duan Yuanping felt that this matter couldn't be left unresolved, so he asked Zhang Beixing how to handle it.

"Of course we should call the police immediately. This matter can't be left like this."

Zhu Xiaoling also agreed to the proposal.

The manager naturally had no objection. He said he would call the police himself to avoid being accused of protecting his employees.

The police said they would be there soon and told them to just wait patiently.

At the same time, the manager announced that Ma Yulan would be dismissed immediately.

"It's a disgrace for someone like you to stay in my shop."

Many people felt that the manager handled the situation fairly well.

Zhu Xiaoling tugged at Zhang Beixing's sleeve and said, "Could you call Shui Qingli and tell her about this?"

Zhang Beixing thought that he could tell her when he got back, but Duan Yuanping felt that he should tell her now.

So Zhang Beixing dialed the phone.

Upon hearing this, Shui Qingli was furious; this was simply outrageous!
She thought to herself, "Maybe there are other places with these kinds of muddle-headed fools who can't distinguish right from wrong."

These kinds of people must be caught in one fell swoop; not a single one should be let go!

Shui Qingli knew that this had always been the case throughout history: those who embezzled money were often overlooked by the authorities.

But if someone wants to rebel, that's absolutely unacceptable!
Who knows how many more of these malignant tumors there are?
Moreover, that Taoist priest Lin will probably incite many people to do the same thing.

She asked Duan Yuanping, "Have you called the police?"

"I have reported it, Your Majesty, I have already called the police."

"Since it was reported, then punish him severely! Tell the officer that this should be treated as a serious offense, and say it was my order!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will do as you say."

Suddenly, Ma Yulan burst into unrestrained laughter.

She said she didn't regret doing it at all.

Because this was to repay a debt of gratitude, it didn't matter even though it didn't work out.

Zhang Beixing was speechless upon hearing this, wondering how she could have such an idea.

I guess their brains have been completely washed away.

I estimate that quite a few other people will do the same.

A while later, the police arrived, and after understanding the truth of the matter, they took the person away.

At this moment, Ma Yulan was still smiling, but that smile looked particularly desolate.

She shouted, "Master Lin, I'll be waiting for you on the road to the underworld!"

She knew that although she hadn't successfully committed the crime, it would still be treated as an attempted crime. And the punishment this time would definitely be severe.

She overheard Shui Qingli and Duan Yuanping talking on the phone.

She was still laughing wildly when she was taken away.

Many people think she's crazy.

The manager apologized to Zhang Beixing for the third time, saying that the meal would be waived.

We also need to serve a few specialty dishes.

Zhang Beixing said, "There's no need for that."

"Sir, please don't refuse. This is what we should do."

Seeing his sincere attitude, Zhang Beixing had no choice but to give up.

Shui Qingli called Duan Tianping and asked if Duan Yuanping had spoken to the police.

“I have already told them, Your Majesty, please rest assured.”

"Alright, that woman must be punished severely!"

Zhang Beixing was initially very depressed and couldn't even eat.

But seeing how nice the boss was...

He felt a little more at ease.

After a while, sure enough, several specialty dishes were served.

Zhu Xiaoling joked, "We've become lucky customers this time."

"Yes, then let's enjoy it."

After Ma Yulan was taken to the police station, several officers, knowing that the matter was related to the emperor, quickly reported it to their superiors.

Those close to the king specifically instructed that this matter must be handled seriously.

Therefore, the leaders called Shui Qingli's office through various means.

Shui Qingli instructed that she and Daoist Lin should be punished together when the time came.

Doesn't she like to repay kindness?

Let's give her a chance.

Ma Yulan was actually very happy when she heard the news.

She felt that being able to die with Master Lin was a very precious thing.

Shui Qingli quickly learned about this.

She thought to herself, "Isn't this woman just being shameless?"
Since that's the case, then the punishment should be increased; she must be beaten until her skin is torn and bleeding!

That evening, when Zhang Beixing and the other two returned home, Shui Qingli's face was gloomy as she said, "You're back."

Zhang Beixing nodded, and Shui Qingli forced a smile.

"Did you have fun?"

"It's alright, there was a little trouble at the restaurant, but everything else is fine."

Shui Qingli became unhappy when this matter was mentioned.

That's what made her angry.

"Although we've caught this one person, I don't know if there are any others like him."

Zhang Beixing comforted her, "It's okay, just grab it next time you meet someone like that."

Shui Qingli nodded, then said to Duan Yuanping, "This is none of your business. You can go now."

Duan Yuanping asked if they were going to go sightseeing tomorrow and if they needed him.

Shui Qingli looked at Zhang Beixing and asked, "What do you think?"

Zhang Beixing then looked at Zhu Xiaoling.

Zhu Xiaoling said, "How about we go play again tomorrow?"

"Then I'll continue to follow them."

"Alright, you can go and rest now. We'll talk about it tomorrow," Shui Qingli said.

Duan Yuanping then withdrew.

"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have let my emotions show on my face," Shui Qingli said with a smile.

Zhu Xiaoling couldn't wait to show off the clothes she had just bought that day.

"Look at this dress, what do you think?"

Shui Qingli took the clothes, examined them carefully, and thought they were quite nice.

"It's pretty good, this outfit is a good choice."

Shui Qingli sighed, saying that she hadn't bought any new clothes in a long time and really wanted to find some time to relax.

However, since taking the throne, he has been overwhelmed with affairs and extremely busy.

Seeing this, Shui Lili quickly advised, "Miss, you really should find a chance to relax. You always say you're busy, but when will this ever end?"

Shui Qingli responded that, after all, she had only recently taken over the position and many things were not going smoothly.

If all goes well, things should be on track in about two weeks.

Zhang Beixing suggested, "Let's go back to the Kyushu Empire in half a month and travel there. After all, the Kyushu Empire is vast and worth a visit."

Shui Qingli said that she has always remembered this matter, but now there are many rumors circulating.

As she spoke, her cheeks flushed.

It turns out that many people speculated that she had a special relationship with Zhang Beixing.

Zhu Xiaoling chuckled and joked, "You two are both so young, so what if you really have that kind of relationship?"

Upon hearing this, Shui Qingli was immediately embarrassed.

Seeing this, Zhang Beixing coughed lightly.

"Let's change the subject."

Everyone exchanged smiles, and the atmosphere eased.

The following day, Zhang Beixing and Shui Qingli contacted Duan Yuanping again.

They decided to travel to a different place instead of shopping today, and instead drive around.

Zhu Xiaoling was quite interested in the territory of the Lin Kingdom and wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about it.

Zhang Beixing also thought it was a good idea.

However, this will likely make things much harder for Duan Yuanping.

Therefore, Zhang Beixing made a special apology to him.

Duan Yuanping, however, said nonchalantly, "You don't need to apologize; this is simply my duty."

During the conversation, Zhang Beixing learned that this bodyguard team was indeed extremely loyal.

They are educated from childhood to be loyal to the king to the death, without ever asking why.

After hearing this, Zhang Beixing couldn't help but fall into deep thought: was this system good or bad?
They had a great time that day and returned home.

That evening, both of them felt somewhat tired.

Seeing this, Shui Lili couldn't help but ask curiously, "You're just in a car, why do you feel tired?"

Zhu Xiaoling explained with a smile that traveling by car also has its hardships.

That evening, Shui Qingli did not have dinner with them.

She returned home late at night because she had to deal with Master Lin's affairs the next day, so she held an important meeting that day and planned to broadcast it live the following day.

Zhang Beixing also said that he would also do a live stream and asked Gao Wenliang to watch it.

Shui Qingli said, "I adopted your suggestion to allow foreigners to enter freely, but they need to be supervised by a designated person and charged a fee. After they have finished watching, they are allowed to leave."

Zhang Beixing agreed after hearing this.

He then asked Gao Wenliang if he would also be coming.

Gao Wenliang responded, "I understand the fee system. However, I don't think it's necessary to be there in person; watching the live stream is enough. After all, this isn't about seeing beautiful women or scenery."

After hanging up the phone, Shui Qingli said that because it wasn't about seeing beautiful women or scenery, it wasn't very attractive to people.

However, many people find the opportunity to go abroad quite novel.

Zhang Beixing predicted that the square would be packed with people the next day.

The following morning, it turned out to be true.

The square was packed with people, bustling like never before. An hour later, Master Lin and Ma Yulan were brought to the square. (End of Chapter)
