Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert
Chapter 426 Reversal
"Tonight's feast is bound to cost them."
Chen Zhi, one of the bandits, sneered and secretly looked forward to the upcoming success.
In the kitchen, Jiang Qiong and Zhu Yun were still busy.
As dishes of delicious food were served, the restaurant's business became more and more popular. The laughter and chatter of customers intertwined to create a lively picture.
As the night deepened, the lively atmosphere in the restaurant seemed to reach its peak.
The customers laughed and talked, toasted their glasses and drank, indulging in the delicious taste of the Demon Wolf Feast.
However, at this joyful moment, a scream broke the silence.
"Come quickly! Someone has fallen down!" a customer suddenly shouted in horror, his voice mixed with fear and anxiety.
The restaurant instantly fell into panic. The originally cheerful atmosphere was broken. Customers stood up and looked around, trying to figure out what was going on.
Several servants hurriedly ran to the table where the accident occurred and asked nervously.
"What's going on?" Jiang Qiong heard the noise and immediately ran out of the kitchen, her face full of anxiety.
He quickly walked through the crowd and came to the customer in trouble. He saw that the customer's face was pale, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead, his eyes were dull, and his lips were trembling slightly, as if he was trying to say something.
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Qiong asked anxiously, feeling vaguely uneasy.
"I... I don't know..." The customer's voice was weak, his eyes were full of fear, and he spoke slowly: "I just ate braised wolf meat... and then I felt dizzy, and my heart... my heart seemed to be about to jump out!"
"Who has healing pills?" Jiang Qiong immediately turned around and shouted to other customers.
His heart sank as he realized that things might be far more serious than he thought.
The surrounding customers began to whisper, and some even began to question the safety of the restaurant's food.
"What's wrong with the food in this restaurant? Is it poisoned?" someone said, his voice filled with anxiety.
"I've heard that recently some restaurants have been secretly using inferior ingredients in order to reduce costs..." another customer echoed, with a gleam of suspicion in his eyes.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Jiang Qiong stopped them sternly, feeling panicky.
If this rumor is allowed to spread, the reputation of Yunqiong Restaurant will be severely damaged.
At this moment, the customer's body began to twitch and a faint whimpering sound came from his mouth, as if he was suffering unbearable pain.
Jiang Qiong's heart tightened and she quickly squatted down, trying to check on his condition.
"Can you hear me? What did you eat? Was there anyone else eating with you?" Jiang Qiong tried to stay calm and tried to get more information from him.
"I... I'm with my friends..." He struggled hard, as if he wanted to say something, but his words were suppressed by the painful cough. Jiang Qiong saw the braised wolf meat in front of him and had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Quick, give him some water!" a customer said hurriedly, trying to help.
Jiang Qiong shook her head, knowing full well that drinking water might aggravate the poisoning.
"Keep him calm and don't let him talk anymore!" Jiang Qiong immediately directed the people around him, trying to stabilize the situation.
His heart was filled with fear. If there was really something wrong with this dish, what consequences would Yunqiong Restaurant face?
"I'm going to the medicine shop to buy healing pills!"
A customer finally realized the seriousness of the situation and ran out in a hurry.
"Don't panic, everyone, don't panic!" Jiang Qiong shouted loudly, trying to calm the people around her down.
As he spoke, he circulated the spiritual energy in his body and continuously injected it into the customer's body to help him relieve the toxins.
However, as time went on, the customer's condition became more serious, and the surrounding customers began to feel uneasy and stepped back, fearing that they would be affected as well.
"He...he seems to be dying!" A woman covered her mouth in horror, obviously frightened by the scene before her.
"Don't be afraid, the healing medicine will be here soon!" Jiang Qiong tried to comfort him, but she was extremely anxious in her heart.
If not dealt with in time, this matter will turn into an unmanageable disaster.
At this moment, another customer suddenly stood up and said firmly: "I think we should ask the patrol guard to come and take a look! This is definitely not ordinary food poisoning!"
"Yes, find the patrol guards!" The people around him echoed one after another, and their emotions became more and more excited. Jiang Qiong's heart tightened, and he realized that the development of the situation was beyond his control.
"Everyone please calm down! We need to confirm the situation first and then make a decision!" Jiang Qiong tried to calm everyone's emotions, but his voice sounded weak at this moment.
At this moment, the customer's body suddenly stopped twitching, his face became paler, and he seemed to have lost consciousness.
The people around suddenly cried out in surprise, and an atmosphere of panic quickly spread.
"I'm in trouble!" Jiang Qiong's heart was filled with helplessness and despair.
Tonight's feast has turned into a nightmare, and he must find a solution as soon as possible.
As time went on, the atmosphere in the restaurant became increasingly tense. The customers' whispers intertwined with each other, like an invisible net that tightly wrapped around everyone.
Just a few minutes after the customer turned pale and fell down weakly, Zhu Yun finally rushed out from the kitchen, holding a bottle of healing medicine in his hand, his face full of anxiety and uneasiness.
He squeezed through the crowd and handed over the pill.
Seeing this, Jiang Qiong felt a little relieved, and quickly took the pill and fed it to the collapsed customer.
"Hurry, drink it!" Jiang Qiong encouraged softly, while Zhu Yun kept patting his back, trying to make him swallow faster.
As the pill went down his throat, the customer's body began to tremble slightly, the painful expression on his face seemed to ease a little, and his complexion gradually regained some redness.
"Don't be nervous! We will handle this matter!" Zhu Yun's voice sounded particularly gentle in the panic, as if a warm current flowed into the hearts of the people around him.
Although his palms were sweating, he had to remain calm at this moment.
At this moment, the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and several patrol guards walked in, dressed in neat uniforms and looking very imposing.
The leading monk looked sharply at the chaotic scene in the restaurant, frowning slightly, obviously feeling uneasy about the situation.
"What happened?" the leading patrol guard asked coldly, his voice as chilling as a chill wind.
"A customer has been poisoned! We are dealing with it!" Jiang Qiong hurried forward, his tone mixed with anxiety and helplessness.
He tried to explain what had happened, silently praying that the customer would recover as soon as possible.
However, the patrol guard did not respond immediately, but began to patrol the restaurant, trying to find more clues.
At this moment, Chen Zhi suddenly stood up, his face full of anger and dissatisfaction.
"Look, there's definitely something wrong with the food in this restaurant! I saw him eat the braised wolf meat with my own eyes, and he collapsed like this!" He pointed at the customer, his voice full of accusations. "Yeah, that's what I saw too!" Li Yao also echoed.
"What are you talking about? Our Yunqiong Restaurant has always been famous for its fresh ingredients. How could we do such a thing!"
Jiang Qiong retorted angrily, becoming more and more anxious.
Just as he was about to make further excuses, Wang Qiang accused him, "I think you just want to poison our customers and force us to leave this restaurant!"
"You are talking nonsense!" Jiang Qiong responded almost gritting her teeth, with anger burning in her heart.
He looked around and found several unfamiliar faces standing in the crowd with sinister eyes, as if they were planning something in secret.
"You thieves, how dare you make trouble here!" Jiang Qiong pointed at those people angrily, his voice loud and firm.
He knew in his heart that these people came for Yunqiong Restaurant with the intention of destroying their reputation.
"Look, even the shopkeeper is starting to panic. It seems there is really something wrong with you guys!" One of the thieves said with a sneer, his eyes full of provocation.
"Don't listen to their lies! Our restaurant definitely did not poison anyone!" Zhu Yun also stood up, his voice clear and firm, trying to defend the restaurant.
“If there’s something wrong with your food, shouldn’t you be held responsible?” another customer said coldly, seemingly taking the opportunity to get closer to the thieves.
"This is not food poisoning at all. Someone is deliberately stirring up trouble here!" Jiang Qiong responded angrily, secretly thinking in his heart how to turn things around.
The patrol guard watched quietly from the side, frowning slightly, as if he was considering how to deal with the situation.
Jiang Qiong knew that if the facts were not clarified quickly, things would escalate and might even lead to greater unrest.
"We need to find out the truth! Please calm down and don't blame anyone yet!" The patrol guard finally spoke. His voice was like a calming force, trying to bring the chaotic situation back on track.
At this moment, the customer finally regained consciousness and opened his eyes in confusion. The noise around him made him feel uneasy.
He raised his hand, trying to signal the people around him to be quiet.
"I... I'm fine..." His weak voice penetrated the chaos, instantly making the people around him stop arguing and turn their eyes.
"Can you tell us what happened?" Jiang Qiong asked quickly, secretly feeling relieved.
“I… I just ate braised wolf meat, and I didn’t expect it to be like this…” The customer’s voice was weak, but one could still feel the fear in his heart.
"Do you feel that other people are experiencing similar situations?" The patrol guard immediately interrupted, trying to get more information from him.
“I… I don’t know… I was eating with my friends, and maybe other people…” The customer’s voice trembled, as if he was still recalling the fear just now.
Jiang Qiong's heart tightened, and she wondered whether this meant the situation was more complicated.
At this moment, the thieves began to speak out again, trying to point the finger at Yunqiong Restaurant.
"Look, even the customers can't explain it clearly. It's obvious that there's something wrong with your food!" One of the thieves sneered, his eyes full of pride.
"You guys don't care about the safety of our customers at all. You just want to take this opportunity to discredit our restaurant!" Jiang Qiong responded angrily, secretly thinking about how to reverse the situation.
"I think you just want to take the opportunity to destroy our business, get out of here!" Zhu Yun did not show any weakness and shouted angrily at the thieves.
"Don't try to evade your responsibility! You will pay the price for tonight's feast!" The voices of the thieves echoed in the restaurant, as if a storm was about to come.
"I...I'm really fine, don't worry." The customer tried to stand up. Although his face was pale, his hands were shaking slightly.
There was a hint of panic in his eyes, as if he wanted to end the dispute as soon as possible and return to his home.
"Where are you going?" Jiang Qiong felt uneasy when she saw that he intended to leave, so she quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Your current condition requires further examination, you can't just walk around!"
"I just want to go home, lie down and rest for a while." The customer's voice was low and a little uneasy.
He looked around, as if looking for an exit to escape.
"You can't leave!" The patrol guard's gaze lingered on him, and he felt that something was not going on.
"If you don't cooperate, we will have to take coercive measures."
The customer's expression became increasingly panicked, and he stepped back slightly, trying to make his position clear with his body movements.
"I'm really fine, please stop asking..."
At this moment, the patrol guard's eyes became sharper. He suddenly stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and tried to grab the customer's wrist.
"Please cooperate with us, we need to check you!"
"I don't want any trouble, just let me go!" There was a hint of despair in the customer's voice. He struggled hard, trying to break free from the patrol guard's control.
"Don't move!" The patrol guard's voice was as hard as iron and carried unquestionable majesty.
With a wave of his hand, the magic weapon instantly appeared in his hand, flashing a faint light, as if sensing the aura around it.
"What are you doing!" The customer's expression became more and more flustered, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
He seemed to realize something and turned around and tried to run away.
"Stop him!" The patrol guard gave an order, and several of his companions quickly surrounded him, forming a closed circle, trapping the customer inside.
"Don't push me!" The customer's voice trembled, and a hint of despair and anger flashed in his eyes.
He seemed to have something hidden in his hand, ready to fight back at any time.
"You have no choice but to cooperate with us!" the patrol guard said coldly, the magic weapon in his hand flickering with a faint light, as if detecting the customer's true identity.
At this moment, the magic weapon suddenly emitted a bright light, the customer's figure was enveloped by the light, and the patrol guard's brows frowned instantly.
"It's really you!"
He said coldly, with a hint of disbelief in his voice.
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Qiong was confused, his eyes moving back and forth between the patrol guards and the customers, trying to understand the truth of the matter.
"He is a wanted criminal!" The patrol guard's voice was like thunder, instantly making the atmosphere in the restaurant tense.
"We're hunting him down!"
"What?" The customers around exclaimed, shock and anxiety revealed in their eyes.
The thieves who had accused the restaurant were also stunned at this moment, as if they realized that the matter was far more complicated than they had imagined. (End of this chapter)
