#172 - Take action

Everyone then looked at the surveillance footage. Although they had already concluded that the black screen time was when the accuser committed the crime, everyone except "Justice Bro" still held a glimmer of hope, wanting to see if any new clues would emerge later.

Then, as all the surveillance videos ended, the result was as they had expected. No useful evidence appeared in the subsequent videos.

This outcome made Chang Lei feel somewhat troubled. He was inclined to negotiate a settlement with the complainant, a standard business practice to avoid further trouble, but considering that the other party was deliberately framing them, the difficulty of reaching an agreement was very high. Even if the other party agreed to a settlement, the matter couldn't be resolved amicably.

After all, the current situation was no longer simply a relationship between the complainant and the accused, but a major food safety issue.

Even if he persuaded the so-called "Justice Bro" and gave him enough money to withdraw the complaint, the Food and Drug Administration would still handle the matter impartially.

Because such an action would be equivalent to admitting that the "poppy shells" belonged to their restaurant and that they had used them in their previous business operations. Once this conclusion was reached, the FDA would have to take action, ranging from sealing the restaurant to imprisonment.

After that, there would be a series of after-sales problems, and "Shi Wei Tian" would truly be finished. Chang Lei was unwilling to see it collapse just a few days after opening!

Chang Lei was tempted to call Old Cheng, hoping he might have connections to resolve everything.

After all, the Cheng family still had influence in Xingyun. Given Old Cheng's emphasis on Little Cheng and Wang Hao, he would definitely come up with a comprehensive solution.

Wang Hao naturally noticed Chang Lei's conflicted and helpless expression. Based on the current situation, his mind was also racing, analyzing possible breakthroughs, but he couldn't think of a better solution for the time being.

After all, without surveillance evidence, all words were pale. The law wouldn't believe what you said, only what the evidence proved.

The opponent's simple and crude power outage left them temporarily unsure where to start. How was the power cut? How did the person reach the area of the main switch? The surveillance videos didn't provide answers to these questions, and any random guesses would be in vain.

"Manager Chang, do you have anything else to prove that this prohibited item doesn't belong here? If you can't prove it, then we can only seal the restaurant according to regulations and report it to the public security bureau for handling."

Ni Hong looked at Chang Lei with some helplessness, as he had no further action. Even with their years of experience in handling cases, they felt helpless with such a difficult problem, let alone this small restaurant.

Moreover, the opponent's ruthlessness made him gain a new understanding of the cruelty of the mid-level catering industry!

If "Shi Wei Tian" closed down without Cheng's father's knowledge, his future career would be over.

Cheng Yufei naturally understood what Chang Lei meant when she heard him say this. In the current situation, who else could he turn to for help but her father?

Before Ni Hong could respond, Wang Hao suddenly stood up and said calmly, "Manager Chang, let me try. If I can find any clues, we won't have to trouble your friends."

After some thought, Wang Hao could only use his unique, clumsy method. Although it would be somewhat consuming, it would be worth it if it could solve the current problem.

Chang Lei's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he nodded in agreement.

After all, Wang Hao had always given him the impression of doing things with certainty. For him to say such a thing at this time, he must have discovered some key points that he had overlooked.

This freed him from the somewhat frustrated haze he had been in. Although he didn't know how Wang Hao would prove it, he subconsciously felt that the other party had a high probability of success.

Cheng Yufei and Li Nan, who were behind Wang Hao, also perked up like Chang Lei, their eyes filled with expectation and surprise.

Originally, "Justice Bro" was smiling, thinking that his mission would be accomplished soon when he heard Ni Hong say that "Shi Wei Tian" would be sealed up. He had no objection to Chang Lei looking for reinforcements.

The more reinforcements he brought, the more benefits he could get. This was not an era when numbers were an advantage, "Justice Bro" thought to himself smugly.

However, Wang Hao's sudden intervention made him somewhat unhappy. He hadn't investigated Wang Hao's background and looked at this young man who was much younger than himself with disdain, thinking:

Who do you think you are, kid? Didn't you see that your manager, an old man, couldn't do anything and had to go out and call for help? You still want to try? You'll die trying! You really think you're the hero saving the damsel in distress? Tsk!

Although Wang Hao didn't know what "Justice Bro" was thinking, it didn't prevent him from guessing some of it from the other party's expression. However, he wasn't angry at all, and still looked calm, quietly looking at him and saying:

"Hello, if you don't mind, can I ask you a few questions?"

In the curious gazes of everyone, Wang Hao asked such a question, which stunned everyone. They thought Wang Hao would have some unexpected move, but it turned out that he was directly asking the complainant questions. How could he tell the truth? The final result of this would only be fruitless.

Not only were others unable to understand Wang Hao's confusing actions.

Even Cheng Yufei and Li Nan, who had always been full of confidence in Wang Hao, were surprised, but out of their habitual thinking towards Wang Hao, the miracle creator, they still felt that Wang Hao would definitely give a shocking answer, just like the erhu skill the day before yesterday!

"Pfft, ask away, ask away, ask anything, I'll answer you!" "Justice Bro" couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. He felt that it was necessary for this greenhorn to know what society was like and to give this simple kid a good lesson.
