When social terror becomes the favorite of the police

Chapter 348 The Pancake Shop (3)

One of the shop owners quietly pointed at Li Yuan, the owner of the steamed bun shop, and the other shop owners immediately shut their mouths.

However, they lowered their voices and continued talking.

"Li Yuan must be furious!"

"Who says otherwise? His business used to be good on our street, but now look at him, compared to Old Wu's sesame seed cakes, his business is finished!"

"Oh dear, look at Li Yuan's face. He's always so gloomy. The other day I saw him staring at the pancake shop and his eyes were practically spitting fire."

"Oh well, what can we do? Their sesame seed cakes are so delicious, and they're so skilled at making them!"

"I have a feeling that Li Yuan's shop won't last long before it has to close down!"

"No way, I think his business is doing pretty well."

"Hmph! You guys don't know, this Li Yuan is always eyeing Old Wu's business. The steamed buns he makes aren't as good as they used to be. This business of his will be ruined by him sooner or later!"

...

Li Yuan, the owner of the steamed bun shop, stood in his shop, looking at the long queue of sesame seed cakes across the street with a gloomy gaze.

He just couldn't understand why these people liked to eat that rotten sesame seed cake!

His steamed buns are so delicious!

It has dough and filling, and comes in sweet, savory, and spicy varieties!

His gaze fell on the smiling faces of Old Wu and his wife, and he inwardly spat, thinking, "Of course they're smiling!"
He sold so many pancakes and made so much money, his face is practically beaming with joy! Pshaw!
"Boss, I'd like two with chive filling, two with meat filling, and two with mushroom and cabbage filling."

A customer came to buy steamed buns, and after saying what kind of steamed buns he wanted, the owner didn't move.

"Boss? Boss, I want to buy steamed buns!" a customer shouted loudly.

Li Yuan snapped out of his daze and quickly put on a smile, "Okay, okay, just a moment!"

He immediately picked up the bag and started packing the buns.

The customer took the bun, looked down, and was furious. "I didn't want spicy strips, why did you give me so many spicy strip fillings?"

And this one, I don't like red bean paste filling, how do you run a business?
So you didn't listen to a single word I said about what kind of filling you wanted for the buns!

The customer threw a bag of steamed buns in front of Li Yuan, saying, "I don't want them! You're crazy! If you can't run a shop, don't open one!"

Li Yuan looked at the steamed buns thrown in front of him and the ones that had rolled on the ground. He was furious and extremely angry.

He grabbed the bag of buns and threw it hard into the trash can.

"Oh shit!"

After cursing under his breath, Li Yuan glanced menacingly at the shop across the street, then turned and went inside to take a sip of water.

"puff!"

Li Yuan spat out the water he had just taken a sip of, yelling, "Damn it, even drinking water gets stuck in my teeth, what incredibly unlucky! I'll fuck your mother!"

He smashed the cup on the ground.

People who were about to buy steamed buns were so frightened by the owner's irritable appearance that they immediately abandoned their purchase and ran away.

That night, because of Li Yuan's angry and sinister expression, his family only sold one basket of steamed buns.

Late at night, I watched as other shops on the street gradually closed their doors, and the pancake shop diagonally across the street had long since sold out and closed its doors.

Li Yuan was still sitting alone in his steamed bun shop.

"Li Yuan, why haven't you packed your things and gone home yet?"

A shop owner on the same street closed her shop, got on her electric scooter, and was about to go home when she saw Li Yuan still sitting there.

She glanced at the time; it was almost ten o'clock. Who would still be buying steamed buns now?

Li Yuan forced a smile. "Sis, go home. I'll pack right away."

Watching the departing figures, Li Yuan took a deep breath and withdrew his gaze.

However, the fact that more than half of the buns were still unsold made him even more upset.

He was so angry he wanted to smash all the steamed buns!

However, what he really wanted to smash was the pancake shop across the street!

Once the thought took hold, it was impossible to stop.

Li Yuan looked at the pancake shop across the street. If he smashed up the shop tonight, they wouldn't be able to open tomorrow, right?
But then I thought, no, even if I smash up the shop, they'll clean it up quickly and reopen in a couple of days!
What should I do?
As Li Yuan tidied up his shop, he racked his brains for a solution. He was determined to get rid of that pancake shop, or he would have to close down.

After Li Yuan finished cleaning up his shop, he finally came up with a solution.

If... people get sick from eating the sesame seed cakes at this shop, then the shop will definitely have to go out of business!
Thinking this, Li Yuan was immediately filled with excitement.

Right, that is it!

Li Yuan thought for a long time. He didn't have time to buy medicine from a pharmacy, and he didn't dare to either, for fear of being discovered.

His gaze fell on the rat poison in the corner…

It was past 1 a.m., and the whole street was quiet and deserted.

Li Yuanxing hurriedly grabbed his tools and ran to the front of the pancake shop to start prying open the door.

The police officers who had been watching behind the monitors immediately perked up when they saw this.

"Boss, someone's really here!" a young policeman said excitedly, looking at the figure on the monitor.

An older policeman, watching the surveillance footage, said, "Tell Xiao Li and the others to keep things calm and not to alert the enemy."

"Yes!"

Li Yuan quickly pried open the door. As he did so, he nervously looked around, his heart pounding wildly.

At the same time, I was filled with excitement and exhilaration.

Tomorrow! This shop is closing tomorrow!
He carefully entered the shop.

Ten minutes later, Li Yuan quickly ran out of the store and carefully closed the door again.

He then quickly returned to his shop.

"Boss, should we arrest him or not?" a policeman asked.

"Wait."

After Li Yuan closed his shop and went home, the police officers who had been lying in wait came out.

They quickly opened the door of the pancake shop and entered the store with their equipment.

The next morning, people who came early to buy sesame cakes suddenly found that the sesame cake shop was closed and not open.

If they can't buy sesame seed cakes, then they'll buy something else.

However, when they went to buy steamed buns, they found that the steamed bun shop was also closed.

They had no choice but to buy breakfast elsewhere.

The shop owners on the street looked at the two shops with their doors tightly closed, full of doubt.

Why are neither of these two stores open today?

"I don't know, everything was fine last night."

"I'll call Lao Wu, is something wrong?" A vegetable vendor worriedly took out his phone to call the pancake shop owner.

"Old Wu, why didn't you open the door today? Oh? At the police station? What happened?"

Upon hearing the word "police station," everyone around, from shop owners to customers, gathered around.

"What the hell?! Li Yuan actually poisoned them?!"

This sound startled everyone.

In no time, even more people gathered around.

……

The matter has been resolved, and Lin Xiaoyan and the others are now on their way to Jinling.

"Luckily we passed by there and had a meal, otherwise so many people would have died today!" Xiao Bo exclaimed as he drove.

Nancy said, "So, this is fate."

"Our mission this time, we'll leave it to fate!"

Lin Xiaoyan nodded in agreement, "Indeed, let's leave it to fate!"
