I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 610: Wei Jing is defeated, will the winner settle the score?
Fang Shiming didn't say anything, but just smiled modestly... What the hell is your modesty!
Looking at Fang Shiming's smile, Liu Qingqing had an urge to beat him up, but she forced herself to hold it back so as not to lose her image in front of Lin Yuan.

"Brother Yuan, this is the basic situation. There shouldn't be anything non-compliant on my part." Fang Shiming said calmly.

He had thought a lot about this matter, and naturally there was no way he would miss the inevitable event of the "store manager" being invited over, so he had naturally made sufficient preparations.

While deepening his image in the "store manager's" mind, he also found an opportunity to resolve the hidden dangers of this wedding, killing two birds with one stone!
Unfortunately, only Wei Jing came, and Guo Fan did not come.

"Of course, I will also return the gifts I just received to you. After all, I didn't invite you guys here, so I don't know the actual situation."

In front of outsiders, Fang Shiming is a domineering president.

But in front of Lin Yuan, he is a very obedient little brother.

Lin Yuan waved his hand generously and said, "No need, just consider it as our gift money in advance. But Xiao Fang, you made quite a big noise this time, and the headquarters has sent people over. You still have to go out and talk about it when the time comes to avoid misunderstandings, understand?"

"Brother Yuan, don't worry. I know this. I also deal with the headquarters frequently, so there won't be any problems."

Fang Shiming humbly agreed, then turned to look at Wei Jing, "Old Wei, I know you have some thoughts about Lao Fan, but now Lao Fan has agreed to be with me, and Brother Yuan is here too, I hope you won't disturb my future with Lao Fan. I also want Brother Yuan to be a witness, after all, affecting other people's feelings is not something to be praised."

Wei Jing's pupils suddenly shrank. He had felt something was wrong before.

Fang Shiming had obviously done so much, but in the end he failed to stop the arrival of the "store manager". Even if he wanted to take the opportunity to kill him and eliminate a factor that affects the ghost's fate in advance, he couldn't do it in front of the "store manager".

But now it seems that Fang Shiming is not that stupid.

The reason he did this was that he wanted to use the "store manager" to kick him out!

This way there isn't much risk, and it can also avoid any adverse impact on Fang Shiming after the "store manager" finds out... This guy is really smart!
In this case, Wei Jing simply risked his life and used his own method to defeat the opponent:
"Xiao Fang, was the marriage between you and Lao Fan voluntary or forced? Lao Fan has never spoken a word, so can your words alone represent Lao Fan's attitude?"

Fang Shiming was not panicked at all, but said confidently: "Are you sure you want Lao Fan to come forward?"

Wei Jing was very uneasy, but the arrow was on the string and had to be shot, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Of course! The matter between me and Lao Fan needs him to come forward and solve it with me, not an outsider like you."

An outsider?
Fang Shiming sneered in his heart.

This incident tonight was specifically aimed at Wei Jing and Guo Fan.

Now that Guo Fan hasn't arrived, Wei Jing is the only one left, which is a good opportunity for him to go all out. He has also calculated all of Wei Jing's reactions, so he naturally won't feel panicked.

Come on then, today I will completely destroy your hope of snatching the bride!

Do you really think that now that I have my heart set on the Peace Hotel, I have no spies at the headquarters, and I don't know what these guys at the headquarters are plotting in private?

If you want to snatch the bride, then keep your qualifications until that day!
Fang Shiming made way for the Ghost Messenger Lao Fan with a heavy face, but when they saw the Ghost Messenger Lao Fan clearly, everyone's faces changed.

The ghost catcher, Lao Fan, was missing an arm!
Seeing this scene, Wei Jing's heart was pounding, because the missing arm of the ghost catcher Lao Fan had always been on his body.

It was "Him" who took the ghost catcher's left arm and gave it to him to control. Then he was resurrected after dying in the Ghost Lake and became the ghost catcher Wei Jing who had nine fixed suppression places.

However, in order to take the "store manager"'s cognition into consideration, the ghost messenger Lao Fan always appears in a complete state, and his arm is not missing.

Wei Jing has a puzzle piece of the ghost catcher, and he will be targeted by the ghost catcher if he gets close.

So he had no way of finding out the reason. It was not important anyway. But now it seemed that it had become a weapon used by Fang Shiming against him.

"Brother Yuan, do you know what happened between Lao Wei and Lao Fan in the past?" Fang Shiming suddenly asked.

He needed to find out the "store manager's" current understanding, and then on this basis, insert some information that would be beneficial to him.

Lin Yuan said: "I know a little bit. Lao Wei told me just now. He and Lao Fan used to be both enemies and friends. Later, due to some accidents, when Lao Wei went out to study, Lao Fan retired. He doesn't know what happened."

These topics were naturally what Wei Jing himself had said before, and they also became stories recognized by Lin Yuan.

"Oh! How could he not know what happened?"

Fang Shiming sneered repeatedly, but he kept thinking in his heart, weaving a reasonable story as quickly as possible, and it had to be based on the basic facts of the "store manager's" cognition.

No!

We can't just follow this story, otherwise Wei Jing won't be held responsible at all. We have to find a way to destroy Wei Jing's character. We can't let him be spotless and high and mighty.

Thinking of this, Fang Shiming said in a deep voice: "Brother Yuan, you may not know about Lao Fan's arm yet, right?"

How could Lin Yuan not know?

He had personally handed this arm to Wei Jing. If it weren't for the magical ghost on this arm, Wei Jing would have died long ago. How could he still be here alive?

But he wanted to watch the show, so he nodded and said cooperatively: "It's indeed a little unclear. He has been disguised. Is he using a fake arm?"

"Yes, he has been using a prosthetic arm. It was because he lost an arm that he retired. Before that, this arm was either on someone else or on Wei Jing! The left arm he has now originally belonged to Lao Fan!" Fang Shiming pointed at Wei Jing's arm with a look of pain on his face.

Wei Jing noticed that the atmosphere was not right, especially the subtle look in the "store manager's" eyes when he was looking at him, so he hurried to explain.

But Fang Shiming had already gained the upper hand, and it was absolutely impossible for him to let Wei Jing interrupt his speech before the first impression was fully formed.

So he continued, not giving Wei Jing a chance to reply, "When Wei Jing went to study, he was actually on an urgent mission. In that mission, Wei Jing narrowly escaped death, but also lost an arm. Later, when Lao Fan got the news, he took the initiative to apply and gave his arm to Wei Jing, allowing Wei Jing to return to normal, and at the same time he also possessed some of Lao Fan's power."

"That's why Lao Fan lost an arm and didn't have enough strength. He didn't want to do logistics, so he took the initiative to apply for retirement. Of course, if that was the case, Wei Jing couldn't be blamed for anything, because it was Lao Fan's own choice. But the biggest problem is that Lao Wei knew about it at the time, but he didn't stop Lao Fan. Instead, he accepted the arm with peace of mind, and then relied on the power that belonged to Lao Fan to continue to be promoted. I'm afraid if Lao Fan hadn't been lucky enough to meet you, Brother Yuan, maybe they would never have met. After all, the level gap is too big!"

"So-called feelings, so-called 'childhood sweethearts', and bullshit friends and enemies are all just excuses used by Wei Jing to cover up the evil things he did. Maybe they did have a good relationship at the time, but since then, Lao Fan has seen through Wei Jing's true face, so he is willing to stay in the Peace Hotel as an ordinary security guard. He is so disappointed with this world!"

"Wei Jing, don't rush to refute. It's been quite a while since you first entered the restaurant. By then, Lao Fan should have been working in the store, right? You see Lao Fan almost every time you meet him, and you greet him calmly. Don't say you didn't recognize Lao Fan. Or do you just want to use ordinary people's friendship to restrain him, and use other tricks like you did when you were in the team to take away everything from Lao Fan?!"

Veins popped out on Wei Jing's forehead.

The highest level of lies is that they are both true and false, but they do not affect each other. Instead, they blend into each other, making it impossible for people to tell which one is true and which one is false.

Just like it is now.

The story told by Fang Shiming was inspired by the Ghost Lake incident in Taiping Ancient Town, Zhongzhou City.

At that time, Wei Jing wanted to use his body to block the entrance of the supernatural cave, but he overestimated himself and used his body as a sandbag, which directly killed him inside.

Later, Lin Yuan brought him back, saving him at the cost of the ghost's left arm. He also possessed some of the ghost's supernatural powers, and was known as:
Ghost Messenger Wei Jing!

Fang Shiming simply changed the fact slightly, and this story came into being, and it was also a story that Wei Jing could not refute for the time being.

He knew very well what the final result would be if he allowed Fang Shiming to take over the topic, but he couldn't find a way to refute it for the moment.

In an instant, beads of sweat appeared on Wei Jing's forehead.

Fang Shiming sneered at this: "In order to save you, Lao Fan was willing to sacrifice his arm and turned from a normal person into a disabled person. But what about you? For your own future, you accepted Lao Fan's sacrifice, but you turned a blind eye to him. What? Are you afraid that Lao Fan will suddenly speak up and affect your future? Now that Lao Fan has finally found his own happiness, you still want to come out and make trouble. It's good for you not to see Lao Fan like this?"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Wei Jing was so anxious. If he continued like this, he would be labeled as a villain who would do anything to get promotion... No, it seemed that he was already labeled as such.

"You know whether I am talking nonsense or not. I just don't understand how someone like you can appear here so calmly. Do you really think that no one knows about what happened before?" Fang Shiming's tone was cold, and he was completely standing up for the ghost catcher Lao Fan.

Wei Jing had been forced into a corner, but he was a little "tongue-tied". Facing Fang Shiming's attack, he had almost no ability to fight back.

"Fight with me?"

Fang Shiming sneered in his heart. He no longer regarded Wei Jing as an equal. He was only satisfied with his own performance and had high expectations for the future.

Now he just needs to launch one final attack and he will...

"Xiao Fang, Lao Wei, should you let Lao Fan, the person involved, speak for him?" Lin Yuan suddenly spoke.

Fang Shiming felt something was wrong. In this situation, the truth of everything was clear, but the "store manager" still wanted to listen to what the ghost messenger Lao Fan said. Did he not believe in himself?

A feeling of uneasiness surged in his heart, but he had no way to stop it. He could only nod and make way, thinking to himself: "If the ghost messenger can speak, there must be something fishy."

Ghosts, of course, cannot speak.

The same was true for the ghost messenger Lao Fan, so when he gave up his position and became the protagonist of the moment, he could only stand there silently without making any sound.

Fang Shiming calculated the time in his mind, and when he was almost ready, he spoke and completely resolved the issue at hand.

However, there was a sudden commotion outside the house, as if some conflict had occurred. Then Lin Yuan said, "Xiao Fang, go out and take a look. There are so many people here. Don't cause any chaos or casualties. That would be bad."

Fang Shiming looked at Lin Yuan in surprise and doubt.

He always felt that the "store manager" was now somewhat biased towards Wei Jing, but... there was no reason!
"Brother Yuan, can I stay with Lao Fan? I'm afraid he'll be sad if I leave him here with Wei Jing, this ungrateful guy."

This was a test. If Lin Yuan refused, he would be certain that the "store manager" was favoring Wei Jing, and he would have to make other plans.

Lin Yuan groaned and said, "Okay."

Hey?
accepted?
Fang Shiming was confused, but he didn't think much about it. He took the hand of the ghost messenger Lao Fan and walked out, thinking: It seems that I have thought too much. This is all just a coincidence. It is impossible for the "store manager" to favor an outsider who is not even an employee.

But how could he know that Lin Yuan was helping Wei Jing!
After Fang Shiming left, Lin Yuan looked at Wei Jing with disappointment, turned around and walked out the door - he was still looking forward to the bride kidnapping incident.

Wei Jing will be the protagonist in this incident. If he loses his qualifications now, what will be there to see then?
Let Guo Fan go up?

It's not impossible, but Guo Fan is only interested in making a future in the Peace Hotel. He doesn't care much about controlling the ghost messenger, or the impact on the headquarters after Fang Shiming controls the ghost messenger.

Even if he were to be the protagonist, he would probably just not put in enough effort. He wouldn't be as passionate as Wei Jing, and it would be impossible for him to perform a truly dramatic and lively event.

Lin Yuan didn't have any big ideas, he just wanted to watch an interesting real-life drama. How could it be easy for him?

"But Xiao Fang's method is indeed good. It is a typical example of spending little money to achieve great things. Wei Jing is also more suitable for charging into battle. When participating in this kind of plot, his on-the-spot reaction ability is a bit poor. I guess Li Jun will not be far behind."

Lin Yuan shook his head secretly, looked at Wei Jing who was still in a daze, shook his head even more, and turned to walk out the door.

Liu Qingqing rolled her eyes and did not follow Lin Yuan away. Instead, she walked to Wei Jing and whispered, "Old Wei, can you do this?"

Wei Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Fang Shiming's sophistry is too powerful. I have completely lost this round."

Liu Qingqing said with a look of disappointment: "Don't you see that Brother Yuan is still inclined towards you and doesn't believe Fang Shiming's lies? It's just that you are not doing your best!"

Wei Jing asked blankly: "What do you mean?"

"Think about it carefully." Liu Qingqing shook her head and said nothing more.

She originally wanted to take this opportunity to win over Wei Jing.

After all, she is opening a branch now and needs more customers.

Wei Jing’s supernatural powers make him very suitable for catching ghosts, and he is a high-quality customer.

As long as Wei Jing goes to the Dadong City branch to shop once or twice, her efforts today will not be in vain.

However, Wei Jing still had no idea.

Brother Yuan's behavior was so obvious. Could it be that he was really like Fang Shiming, who was in the middle of the situation and couldn't see it clearly?
Before Liu Qingqing walked out of the room, she found that the style of the surroundings had changed. It was no longer a wedding room covered with bright red cloth, but a mourning hall.

She looked back and saw a pitch-black coffin placed quietly in the center of the mourning hall.

Next to the coffin was Wei Jing, who looked numb and like a corpse...

The confrontation continued. Facing the special forces led by Li Jun, Zhao Jianguo and others, law enforcement staff and firefighters, General Fei and Li Yao, relying on thousands of citizens, showed no intention of retreating.

They didn't even need to step forward. The attitude of those thousands of citizens was enough to make Li Jun and Zhao Jianguo choose to back down.

no way.

It is impossible for them to really take action against these ordinary people, even if these ordinary people are obviously influenced by the people in their circle of friends, they cannot do anything.

"What should we do? Nothing will really happen, right? If something does happen, it will be really troublesome." Tong Qian was very worried.

Because she had been the person in charge in the early days, she knew very well what the consequences would be if something happened to so many people. Although it would not affect them, someone had to take responsibility.

Among the leaders present, Li Jun, Tong Qian, Zhang Lei and Ah Hong are all responsible persons and have deep ties with the Peace Hotel.

There is only one person who can really be pushed out as the scapegoat, and that is:

Zhao Jianguo!
His status and position in the headquarters is not low, but it is not irreplaceable. And it is precisely because of this high status and position that he becomes the most suitable person to take the blame for such a large-scale incident.

If it is a simple supernatural event, there is no need to worry.

However, with the involvement of friends circle, they will definitely take advantage of the situation. As for Zhao Jianguo... Zhao Jianguo obviously also realized this and his face looked very ugly.

He could even see the teasing and mocking look in the eyes of Mr. Fei and Li Yao opposite him.

"These guys did it on purpose, but is there any point in targeting me? Even if they are killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, my identity as an ordinary person should not have a deterrent effect on the person in charge and the captain. What is the meaning of the circle of friends? I shouldn't have come in today!"

Zhao Jianguo had a lot of thoughts in his mind. As he watched the situation continue to deteriorate, the sweat on his forehead became more and more. He clenched his hands into fists, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.

"Don't worry. If the store manager hadn't come today, the situation might have been very bad, but now that the store manager is here, Fang Shiming can't make too much of a fuss, otherwise he won't be able to finish it off, and it will also affect the store manager's opinion of him. He is a very sophisticated egoist and won't do something that hurts others and doesn't benefit himself."

Ah Hong suddenly spoke up, "If I'm not mistaken, it may not be long before Fang Shiming shows up... Look, is that Fang Shiming?"

The noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, and a passage was separated from the crowd to make way.

Fang Shiming walked out with the ghost catcher Lao Fan. Along the way, people called him "Mr. Fang" respectfully. It seemed that these ordinary citizens were not scared by Fang Shiming's gorilla image. Instead, they felt it was very natural.

"These people also have distorted perceptions. Is it the store manager, or Fang Shiming?"

Li Jun took a step forward while thinking in his mind. Now that Fang Shiming has come out and is no longer just Mr. Fei and Li Yao, there is naturally no need for Zhao Jianguo to stand in the front.

This step also made Zhao Jianguo feel relieved.

"What are you doing? Since Captain Li and Captain Zhao are going to bring people in to check, let them check. We are holding a formal event, not an illegal assembly. What's there to mind?"

Fang Shiming was very easy to talk to. He reprimanded General Fei, Li Yao and others as soon as he came out, then looked at Li Jun and others and said calmly: "Captain Li, Captain Zhao, I am sorry to bother you today. However, you may need to deal with the guards' affairs. He came here for personal reasons. I will complain to the headquarters about this matter. I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation."

As he spoke, he glanced back and saw Lin Yuan and Liu Qingqing walking out.

Seeing Lin Yuan, Li Jun and the others' expressions also changed slightly, and they didn't say anything more. After all, in front of the "store manager", they were also subject to great restrictions and it was impossible for them to chat freely.

Today's incident can only be treated as an ordinary gathering and cannot be elevated to a higher level.

Otherwise, given Fang Shiming's identity as an employee of the Peace Hotel, it would be impossible to really do anything to Fang Shiming, so a possible conflict ended so hastily.

Everyone went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.

Just after experiencing this, the headquarters, which had been very wary of Fang Shiming, increased the threat from Fang Shiming to the extreme and even held a meeting overnight.

However, Lin Yuan was not aware of these things and did not care about them.

When he was leaving, he received an invitation from Fang Shiming, "Brother Yuan, we want to talk to you alone about the matter between me and Lao Fan. Of course, we also need to talk to you about Wei Jing and... Guo Fan's matter, so that you don't misunderstand, Brother Yuan."
