Brush Up Your Proficiency
#170 - Backhand
When Ni Hong and the others heard Chang Lei's statement, it was clear that he was unaware of the situation, which made their hearts tremble. Their intuition told them that this matter was becoming more complicated.
If what Chang Lei said was true, and other competitors were framing 'Shi Wei Tian,' then the person who did this was ruthless.
This approach would not only force 'Shi Wei Tian' to immediately suspend business for rectification.
Moreover, if Brother Justice insisted on pursuing the matter, there was a possibility of litigation and sentencing.
Conversely, if 'Shi Wei Tian' was well-prepared, then the framer could easily get themselves involved. Framing others and concealing contraband would result in double charges, truly a case of trying to steal a chicken and ending up losing one's own rice.
Thinking of this, Ni Hong couldn't help but sigh. These business people were truly ruthless, willing to risk so much for their own interests.
Her gaze involuntarily turned to Brother Justice, who was standing to the side.
"Don't act like you're so wronged. Finding this thing here proves that my suspicion was correct.
You can check the surveillance footage. If you really find something that proves this thing doesn't belong to your restaurant, then I'll admit I guessed wrong, and I'll voluntarily withdraw the lawsuit!" Brother Justice said to Chang Lei with a mocking expression, snorting as he spoke.
In his opinion, even if it was eventually discovered that someone had deliberately placed the item there, it would have nothing to do with him.
After all, coincidences happen from time to time, and he was powerless to do anything about it. He couldn't possibly be inferred to be related to the person who planted the 'poison' just because of a coincidence.
At this moment, Brother Justice, relying on his advantageous position of being able to advance or retreat freely, appeared very smug. He looked at Chang Lei with a face full of disdain.
However, Chang Lei was not angered by the other party's behavior.
Having experienced many years of ups and downs, he was already accustomed to Brother Justice's little tricks of trying to provoke people and didn't take it to heart.
But he knew that the other party must have something to rely on to be so arrogant. As for what kind of backup plan it was, he could only take it one step at a time.
At this moment, the crowd standing outside the door only saw a few people inside holding something and talking about something, but because of the distance, they couldn't hear the specific content of the conversation.
However, Wang Hao, who had undergone both mental and physical enhancements, was now able to hear the conversation inside clearly and accurately.
He gently touched his chin and thought to himself: As expected, just like I expected, the other party really used the method of framing. Since they are so blatant, they should have a backup plan, but what will the backup plan be?
While thinking, Wang Hao, due to the improvement of his eyesight, inadvertently saw the complainant who called himself Brother Justice looking at Chang Lei with a smug expression, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.
Wang Hao was not as calm as Chang Lei in the face of such a scene.
Although his spirit had surpassed everyone, he was still too young after all. He instinctively felt this emotion towards the dark side of society.
People like Brother Justice, relying on being able to exploit legal loopholes, feel that others can't do anything to them, so they act recklessly without any scruples, which Wang Hao really couldn't stand.
Gently clenching his fist, Wang Hao thought: It's a good thing it's a society ruled by law now. If it were in ancient times, he would definitely let this kind of person know what it means to do many unrighteous things and end up destroying oneself.
After venting for a while in his heart, Wang Hao took a deep breath, and then used his willpower to suppress the anger in his heart. His mind also began to become more and more calm, and even his eyes showed a hint of coldness.
Ni Hong and the others then looked through the back kitchen again, carefully checking all the places where 'poppy shells' might be hidden, but did not find any new clues or abnormalities.
However, they still carefully observed every detail, not letting go of any clues. They did not dare to be careless about this major case.
Finally, after confirming that there were no other problems in the back kitchen, they left the kitchen with peace of mind.
Chang Lei led Ni Hong and the others out of the kitchen, preparing to go to the monitoring room to replay and check. He hoped to find clues about the source of the 'poppy shells' by checking the surveillance video and prove the innocence of 'Shi Wei Tian'.
When Chang Lei came out of the kitchen, he saw Wang Hao at a glance. He was also somewhat gratified that he could rush over so quickly. It was a great help to him to have someone who could stabilize the situation when something happened.
Chang Lei did not directly ask Wang Hao about the 'poppy shells' because he had absolute trust in Wang Hao.
It wasn't just because Wang Hao was a shareholder, but also because of an instinctive trust in Wang Hao that had developed during their time together.
This trust was not only a reflection of personal relationships, but also an recognition and respect for Wang Hao's character.
When Wang Hao saw Chang Lei coming out, he immediately wanted to step forward and explain the matter clearly.
However, Chang Lei gestured to him with his eyes not to speak, and waved his hand to stop him.
Wang Hao understood Chang Lei's meaning, knowing that he didn't want to discuss the matter here to avoid unnecessary trouble. So, Wang Hao silently followed the crowd to the monitoring room together.
On the way, Chang Lei's eyes conveyed a message to Wang Hao: No matter what happens, I will take responsibility and will never shirk it.
They were like witnesses of time, faithfully and impartially recording every moment, becoming a powerful tool to help them restore the truth of the incident.
Ni Hong, Chang Lei, Brother Justice, and others stood in front of the computer, their eyes fixed on the screen, and began to carefully watch the surveillance video, not letting go of any detail.
Chang Lei and Ni Hong and others hoped to find evidence or clues related to the poppy shell and reveal the truth behind this mystery.
Chang Lei, as an experienced old store manager, knew the importance of monitoring. After he asked the service staff to find a stool for everyone to sit down, he immediately stepped forward and skillfully operated the computer.
He brought up all the surveillance footage from the back kitchen, from closing time last night until now, one by one, and carefully checked them one by one. His eyes were focused and sharp, not letting go of any detail that might contain key information.
Brother Justice was originally somewhat fearless, but when he saw so many monitors, he couldn't help but feel a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
However, at this moment, an accident happened.
As the surveillance video fast-forwarded, suddenly, all the screens went black. This sudden change caused everyone who was watching to stand up suddenly, with surprised expressions on their faces.
Everyone turned to look at Chang Lei, their eyes full of doubt and worry.
When Chang Lei and Wang Hao saw this scene, they couldn't help but think: So this is their backhand.
