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

Kawasaki Yuki's face froze completely. She thought it would be a lose-lose situation, but she never expected that she would be the one to defeat them.

She stared intently at Gao Yang in the crowd, her eyes filled with resentment and venom.

"Let's go."

Two police officers supported her and put her into the police car.

With the sound of the car door closing, everyone knew that legal punishment awaited her.

The reporters frantically snapped photos, their camera lights flashing incessantly.

That evening, it became a headline news story.

A high-end restaurant in Yuncheng was found to be smuggling and selling protected wild animals!

Staying true to its roots and crafting dishes with dedication, Su Family Island proves its worth to the nation!

Unveiling the Secrets of Aged Steak on Sujia Island!

Of course, the Su family's involvement was indispensable.

"Xiao Gao, you've done quite a few things while I was away. You're a big hero now."

Lin Zheng laughed loudly over the phone.

"I'm currently in the performance review phase, and once this period is over, I'll be able to advance further. It's all thanks to you!"

Gao Yang responded with a smile as well.

"Mr. Lin, you're too kind. Without your help, this matter wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Yes, from the very beginning when he suspected Kawasaki Yuki, Gao Yang contacted Lin Zheng and asked him to investigate secretly. Otherwise, how could he have found something to do with Kawasaki Yuki?

The two exchanged a knowing smile.

Lin Zheng also stopped smiling and straightened his expression.

"Xiao Gao, I just received news that a food competition will be held in Yicheng in a couple of days. Do you want to participate?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yang paused slightly, and his expression also became more composed.

He looked at the busy figures in the kitchen.

The storm had just ended when the island received unprecedented exposure, with orders filling up every day, and even employees had to squeeze in time for rest.

Although he had taught all his skills to Lao Zhou and could let him keep an eye on the kitchen, he was still a little worried. If another unexpected incident occurred, it would probably be difficult to handle.

Lin Zheng understood Gao Yang's concerns. After a moment of contemplation, he continued to persuade him, "This competition is related to a later event. I can't tell you the specifics right now, but I can tell you one thing: participating in this competition will be a great help to both you and Wanqing."

Lin Zheng spoke at length, like a patient and persuasive grandfather explaining the important points one by one.

Gao Yang frowned slightly after hearing this.

"Later stages?"

He thought about it.

Although the core circle of the Su family has changed, Su Wanqing's position is seen as a fat sheep to be slaughtered by the collateral branches. Only by expanding her influence throughout the province can she have the confidence to speak.

"Mr. Lin, I understand, I will participate."

Lin Zheng got the answer he wanted and visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll email you the specific details later. You should start preparing now. This time, you'll be facing opponents from all over the world, and there are quite a few formidable figures among them, so don't let your guard down."

Gao Yang hummed in response, and after a few symbolic words, the two hung up the phone.

"A powerful character?"

He muttered to himself, several names flashing through his mind.

…………

Meanwhile, inside the Yuncheng Detention Center.

"Kawasaki Yuki, right? She was so popular a while ago, how did she end up like this?"

Kawasaki Yuki sat in the interrogation chair, her hands and feet firmly locked.

At this moment, she had no makeup on her face, and when she looked at the man opposite her, her face was so gloomy it could drip water.

She relied on her expertise in wild game to conquer many regions, and countless people fell at her feet. But this time, she was unexpectedly defeated by an ordinary man.

"Who are you?"

She squeezed out those three words through gritted teeth.

The name Gao Yang was a taboo subject for her, and if she could, she would want to tear a piece of flesh off Gao Yang at any moment.

The man opposite didn't say much, just smiled and answered.

"Who I am is not important. All you need to know is that Gao Yang and I are enemies."

Kawasaki Yuki shuddered, the gloom in her eyes replaced by a hint of surprise, which then turned into deep resentment.

She stared intently at the man, her body leaning forward unconsciously, her hands clenched into fists, her face filled with urgency.

"So you're going to target Gao Yang too?"

The man nodded, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Of course, I not only want to deal with Gao Yang, I want to completely crush him, I want to ruin his reputation and make him unable to work in this industry anymore."

The man's voice was light and airy, but the words he spoke were chilling.

Kawasaki Yuki smiled.

"Good, good! I never thought Gao Yang would have a day like this."

"What do you need me to do? You can see for yourself that I'm locked up here and can't move. Why don't you save me and take me out? I'll help you deal with Gao Yang."

"Look, I'm so pretty, and I can do so many things. I can help you with even more things, right?"

Kawasaki Yuki suddenly transformed from a madwoman into a pitiful figure, her voice sweet and charming, her body trembling slightly, leaving much to the imagination.

She knew that this trick was the most effective way to deal with men.

The man opposite him, however, didn't seem to care at all.

"Stop, I have no such intention. I can't get you out of here right now. You're still useful here."

"What do you want me to do? Just tell me, and I'll do it."

"I need your recipe for grilling meat."

As the man finished speaking, the air seemed to fall silent for a moment.

"A recipe? What do you need a recipe for? Without those top-quality ingredients, this recipe is useless."

Kawasaki Yuki frowned, completely baffled as to what this man was up to.

"You don't need to worry about the ingredients, just give me the recipe. I want to use your skills to beat Gao Yang in the competition in front of everyone."

"Don't you want to see Gao Yang defeated and slink away in disgrace? Or do you simply lack the resolve to defeat him?"

"Don't worry, as long as you give me the formula and let me win this competition, I'll use my connections to get you out here and personally step over Gao Yang to rise to the top."

A man's words are extremely seductive.

Kawasaki Yuki's heart skipped a beat.

She was already a prisoner, trapped in this place with no way out. Now that the other party had made such a offer, how could she not be tempted?

"Give me the banknotes. I hope you keep your word."

As Kawasaki Yuki scribbled her recipe down on the paper, she looked at the man with a serious expression.

She understood the value of the formula, but at this moment, for the sake of freedom, that value could only be exchanged.

A smile played on the man's lips, but no one noticed the cold glint in his eyes.

He took the note, looked at the handwriting, and curled the corner of his mouth into a smile.

"I'll come to rescue you; you'll be able to get out in a while."

After saying that, he turned and left the interrogation room, leaving Kawasaki Yuki sitting in the chair.

"Boss, we got it."

After going outside, he walked to a silver cruiser and respectfully handed the note out the window.

"Very good, has the person been dealt with properly?"

"Don't worry, I've taken care of everything."

"Okay, let's go back and test its authenticity now."

Sitting in the car, the man exhaled a smoke ring, his eyes dark and unfathomable.
