Era: You're asked to cook a home-style dish, but you cook Wellington.

Upon receiving the news, the reporters exchanged glances and simultaneously pointed their cameras at Brother Long.

Brother Long was still confused about what had happened and looked bewildered in front of the reporters' cameras.

"What happened?"

He asked the third brother who was standing to the side.

The third brother shook his head, his gaze solemn.

In the distance, sirens blared.

"Beep beep beep".

He saw the uniformed police officers rush into his shop without saying a word, take his men out, and handcuff them to a car.

"Brother Long, something terrible has happened!"

A henchman suddenly appeared out of nowhere, running onto the stage and whispering in Brother Long's ear.

"Brother Long, someone reported us for using banned additives and expired ingredients. The cops have come and arrested us."

The younger brother's voice was like a thunderclap, striking Brother Long on the head.

Brother Long felt like the sky had fallen.

"How could that be? How could that be? I clearly bribed everyone involved!"

He covered his head, looking utterly incredulous.

Reporters flocked to the stage.

"Mr. Long, do you feel uneasy when purchasing expired food?"

"Mr. Long, would you eat food that you made using formaldehyde?"

The dark microphone was handed to him, which made him panic for a moment.

He was stunned for a moment, then his mind suddenly cleared.

"No, this is all a lie. I didn't use formaldehyde, nor did I purchase expired food."

His voice was loud, like a stone hitting the surface of water, creating ripples.

The reporters in the audience weren't buying it at all; how could they possibly let go of the opportunity to make it a front-page headline when they had accurate information?

Reporters rushed onto the stage.

"Long Tianxiang, you get down here right now!"

Suddenly, a loud shout interrupted everyone.

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw three black Santanas pull up to the side of the road. The man in the lead was wearing an earth-yellow suit, followed by several thugs in black suits.

"Old Xu, what brings you here?"

Brother Long looked up, utterly astonished.

"Long Tianxiang, you ruined my business."

Old Xu was furious, his beard trembling with rage.

He walked up to Brother Long and slowly took off his sunglasses.

Beneath the sunglasses were a pair of bloodshot eyes.

Old Xu angrily threw his sunglasses on the ground, pointed his index finger at Brother Long's chest, and said, word by word, "Long Tianxiang, you sold my rotten flesh and ruined my business. I will definitely not let you get away with this."

The crowd erupted in uproar, not for any other reason than that the newcomer was the leader of another gang in Yicheng.

At this moment, Lao Xu was like a lion trying its best to restrain its anger.

"I'm not done with you yet."

He stared intently into Brother Long's eyes, and realizing that he shouldn't stay there any longer, he uttered a harsh remark and turned to leave.

"Buzzing"

The Santana sped away, leaving Brother Long standing there, dumbfounded.

The eyes of the crowd looking at Brother Long contained anger, disgust, and even more so, schadenfreude.

As the largest gang in Yicheng, the Qinglong Gang has been rampant and domineering for many years, making many enemies. Now that this great wall is about to collapse, it is something that many people are eager to see.

Su Wanqing said coldly, "Those who reap what they sow will not live."

A second group of victims also arrived.

They were all ordinary people, or families with some means of support. One by one, they pushed past the reporters and frantically crowded in front of Brother Long, demanding an explanation from him.

"My grandmother ate at your restaurant last time, and she started vomiting and having diarrhea afterward. The doctor said it was food poisoning. You must give us an explanation for this!"

"That's right! That's the correct statement!"

The crowd, exchanging glances and whispering amongst themselves, grabbed Brother Long's clothes and began shoving each other.

Brother Long's once sharp suit was now wrinkled and disheveled, his hair was messy, and there were several footprints on his body.

The media reporters took photos one after another, and no one stepped forward to stop them.

At the Grand Hotel, the group was stunned and quickly moved aside, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

The scene became chaotic. Brother Long was like a steamed bun, discovered by the ant army, and they started digging at him.

The reporters were like wolves that hadn't eaten for three days; they couldn't move when they saw Brother Long, this big fat guy, and kept taking pictures.

As for Elder Lin and Su Wanqing, they had already taken advantage of the chaos to leave first, and a perfectly good competition ended up like this.

Finally, it was said that the police station sent a lot of people to calm everyone down and take Brother Long back to jail for investigation and custody.

However, none of this has anything to do with the Grand Court Hotel.

The Grand Court Hotel is packed with customers tonight.

Especially when it comes to Western food, once guests saw Gao Yang's skill level, they all specifically requested Western food, which led Zhou Guodong to send three more people to help Gao Yang.

"Master Gao, you seem a bit tired tonight."

Zhou Guodong stood with his hands in his pockets, watching Gao Yang with a leisurely air.

Gao Yang gave a wry smile.

Today was arguably the most intense day he'd had since his rebirth.

Fortunately, Wang Biao had been following him around and had learned a lot, and with the help of three people sent by Zhou Guodong, they were able to barely maintain a balance in food service.

As he stirred the dishes in the wok, he replied, "Yes, it's been a long time since I've been this busy."

Zhou Guodong smiled, the burden in his eyes finally lifted.

"Did you know that the Golden Dragon Hotel across the street has been sealed off?"

Gao Yang was shocked when he heard this.

"What? So fast?"

It should be noted that from being reported to being arrested, and then to on-site verification and sealing, the whole process usually takes at least two or three days. Now it's happening so fast that even the person behind Brother Long didn't have time to react.

"Yes, there are rumors that the person behind Brother Long is also in trouble."

Zhou Guodong stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.

Gao Yang suddenly thought of something.

In this year of my previous life, several cases of gang-related assaults and murders occurred across the country. However, the crackdown was relatively slow at that time. The Green Dragon Gang, relying on its powerful backers and the influence accumulated over the years, found a scapegoat and managed to escape legal punishment, thus laundering their money and becoming a construction company.

But in this life, things have developed so rapidly. Something must have happened that changed the timeline and rewrote the fate of the Azure Dragon Gang's destruction.

So, in that case...

Does that mean Su Wanqing doesn't have to die?

He pondered for a moment, feeling the silence around him. Suddenly, he looked up and was greeted by a delicate and beautiful face.

"Boss."

He met Su Wanqing's eyes and smiled.

At this moment, Su Wanqing was expressionless, and it was hard to tell what she was thinking. However, her eyes were fixed on Gao Yang, preventing anyone else from making a sound and disturbing Gao Yang's thoughts.

"Come with me, I'll introduce you to someone."

Su Wanqing said calmly, then turned and left the kitchen.

Gao Yang quickly handed over his work and followed.

"Boss, who are we meeting?"

Gao Yang was very curious about who could have gotten Su Wanqing to come to the kitchen at this particular time and take him away from the hotel to another place.

Su Wanqing glanced at Gao Yang, her eyes sparkling.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but after thinking about it, she ultimately didn't say anything.

You'll find out soon enough.

The night was deep, and the moonlight was bright. Su Wanqing looked at the light on Gao Yang's face, thought for a moment, and then asked with a mischievous grin, "Do you know this person?"

"Do I know him?"

Now it was Gao Yang's turn to be surprised.

Gao Yang quickly went through everyone he had ever met in his mind, but he really couldn't think of anyone.

But Su Wanqing refused to say, so he could only follow along helplessly.

Finally, they arrived at an ordinary hotel and went up to the third floor.

"Knock knock knock"

Su Wanqing knocked on the door politely, and a hearty laugh immediately came from inside.

"Please come in, please come in."

Su Wanqing pushed open the door and entered.

"Little Su, you're here!"

Even now, after seeing the faces of the people inside the room clearly, Gao Yang's jaw nearly dropped to the floor.

"No, Mr. Lin, you're calling the boss, Xiao Su?"
