Chapter 665: A Good Show

It was 2:30 in the afternoon.

Wu An was still groggy, being shouted awake by Gu Anran, who asked, "Have we arrived?"

He looked left and right.

They were beside the main road, with a fast-food restaurant not far away.

Gu Anran said, "The fast-food restaurant is closed."

I feel something's off.

Take a look.

Wu An rubbed his eyes; he had overworked last night, held a meeting this morning, and had to deal with the Senior Leader's bragging, which was mentally draining.

Isn't that so?

At first he was driving, but halfway he kept yawning.

There was nothing to be done.

They switched to Gu Anran driving.

The whole way was on the highway.

Gu Anran had only just gotten his license, so he was a bit nervous.

But the facts proved it.

It's just a car.

It's meant to be driven.

Just press the accelerator all the way down.

As for Wu An, he had also just gotten his license, but he dared to drive.

Although it wasn't mealtime, the fast-food restaurant usually did good business; Mei Wen would normally prepare the evening dishes, but for it to be closed in broad daylight was indeed suspicious.

Moreover.

At the big gate, several burly middle-aged men stood.

Wu An has a good memory.

He had seen these middle-aged men before; they were the owners of a few Xiaofanggan who came to scout the fast-food place, and they laughed and joked as they walked past the car.

"Huang Ge, is this taken care of?"

"Whether it works or not depends on whether you put in the effort."

"The person has already been arrested; no matter what the investigation finds, as long as word gets out that there's a food safety problem in the shop, it will be hard for the shop to avoid going under."

"Huang Ge, it's still up to you."

"Hey hey hey, it's none of my business; I didn't do anything."

"Yes yes yes."

"Come to my place another day and we'll have a good drink."

They laughed and walked away.

Wu An rolled down the car window, but the cool breeze couldn't dispel the fire in his heart.

Gu Anran frowned and said, "You were right; these rivals are causing trouble for the fast-food restaurant."

Wu An took out his phone, thought for a moment, and called Yu Kai Lang.

Not long after.

Yu Kai Lang answered the phone, laughing as he greeted, "Great hero, what brings you to call me?"

"What's up?"

Wu An said, "You know the fast-food restaurant at Zhendong Jiekou, right?"

Yu Kai Lang said, "How could I not know? I even went there when it opened."

"Isn't the owner your sister-in-law's older brother?"

"Oh, right, I heard you also have a share?"

"What happened?"

He could tell Wu An's tone wasn't good.

Wu An said, "Something happened."

"Rivals are enemies; a few of them have teamed up to cause trouble."

"The person was probably just arrested."

"Help me look into it—find out exactly why."

Yu Kai Lang immediately said, "That serious? I'll contact you right away if I hear anything."

Wu An said, "You don't need to do anything."

"Just keep an eye on things; make sure no one suffers inside."

Yu Kai Lang patted his chest and promised he would keep watch.

He hung up.

Gu Anran asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Wu An shook his head: "Let's wait for the news."

It's normal for rivals to be jealous and secretly cause trouble; he had reminded Mei Wen many times to be more careful.

But as the saying goes, you can guard against a thief for a thousand days, but there's no reason to guard against a thief.

If someone wants to cause trouble, they'll always find an opportunity.

Not to mention the food and beverage industry—if someone just tampers a little and it gets reported, it becomes a major problem.

Gu Anran asked, "Then should we go to Zhendayuan?"

Wu An shook his head: "Not in the mood."

Very quickly.

Yu Kai Lang called, briefly explained the situation he knew: "Food safety issue."

"Someone got food poisoning."

"It's still in the investigation stage."

Wu An said: "If we follow the normal investigation procedure, how long will it take to finish?"

Yu Kai Lang said with some difficulty: "That's hard to say; if it can be settled, it should be resolved quickly."

"I'm just afraid the other side will drag it out."

"If they drag it, any length of time is possible."

Wu An's face darkened.

Hearing what those people just said, they intend to stall; here we are the last to uncover the truth, and with everyone echoing each other, the fast‑food restaurant can't keep operating.

Wu An sneered: "Looking at it that way, those people still have some limits; they haven't tried to kill anyone."

Yu Kai Lang hummed "mm."

Wu An said: "Alright, I understand."

Yu Kai Lang said: "A An, if there's anything I can help with, just let me know."

Wu An smiled: "Actually, there is."

"As a Shareholder of the fast‑food restaurant, after this problem arises, am I obligated to undergo investigation?"

On the other end, Yu Kai Lang was stunned: "A An, what do you mean?"

"You know full well this is a trap, yet you still want to jump in?"

Wu An smiled: "Yes."

"I intend to jump right in."

"Let's see if the pit they dug can bury me."

Yu Kai Lang frowned: "You're not kidding?"

"No."

"Tell me, what exactly are you planning to do?"

"In a moment I'll go to Zhendayuan for a commendation ceremony; county leaders will attend, and then you bring some people to take me away for investigation."

"You want to make a big scene?"

"Yes."

"Will that work?"

"Whether it works or not, you'll know after trying."

Yu Kai Lang agreed.

Headed straight for Zhendayuan.

Halfway.

Xi Lianghong called again, asking where they were.

Although the commendation ceremony was organized on short notice, it was still very formal, with many leaders attending, as well as reporters.

Wu An was also enthusiastic, shaking hands and chatting with the leaders; just as they were taking photos near the end, Yu Kai Lang and Liu Long, in formal attire, walked in.

With so many leaders in the conference room, without Wu An's introduction, Yu Kai Lang and Liu Long might not have had the nerve to walk in.

"Wu An is suspected of fast‑food restaurant food safety issues; we now request that he undergo investigation."

Yu Kai Lang said calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.

Wu An behaved quite cooperatively, saying: "I'm a Shareholder of the fast‑food restaurant."

"Since there's a problem, I should be responsible."

"Let's go."

He followed and left.

Everyone in the conference room was stunned.

Xi Lianghong was the first to react, saying: "Wait a moment, there may be a misunderstanding here."

Yu Kai Lang replied with righteous words: "Whether there's a misunderstanding can only be confirmed after investigation."

"Leader, what do you think?"

Xi Lianghong felt his scalp go numb.

The commendation ceremony was going well, but the main person was taken away by police; if this spreads, it would cause a huge uproar.

Wu An was quickly taken away.

Everyone exchanged glances; fortunately they were all within the system, and the leaders were not surprised.

After all, having lived long enough, one can encounter anything.

Holding meetings, some leaders being taken away is not a one‑ or two‑time occurrence.

The leaders told Xi Lianghong to monitor the matter and then each left.

Xi Lianghong also hurried to find out the situation.

Leader Qi returned to the Office and finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What a great show."

Still laughing, a knock sounded; Leader Qi composed his smile, sat down, and said: "Please come in."

The one who entered was his relative, Lao Huang, who contracted the Zhendayuan Canteen business.
