Chapter 668: Wronged, Oh Wronged

Old Huang and the others didn't leave the hospital.

They found a secluded corner and smoked while negotiating.

"Brother Huang, the police's reaction seems off,"

"Yeah,"

"There shouldn't really be any problem, right?"

"Brother Huang, what if what we did gets exposed, what should we do?"

The few of them wore expressions of panic.

Brother Huang said, "Why panic?"

"At worst we just follow the leaders,"

"Just say we were joking, Lai Erpi, and didn't expect it to cause a misunderstanding."

The few shouted, "Can Lai Erpi settle this peacefully?"

"He'll definitely cause a huge uproar."

"He'll surely make a big demand and force us to compensate."

Brother Huang sighed, "That's just the worst-case plan."

If they can't find anything and can't charge us, that would be naturally best.

If they do find something, then we can only spend money to cover the disaster.

Even if the few of us pool together and split it evenly, it won't be much money.

The few let out sighs.

Had they known it would turn out like this, they wouldn't have started the trouble; who could have guessed that behind a tiny fast-food shop there was such a powerful figure backing it.

Brother Huang shook his head, glad he had thought one step ahead; the police couldn't find anything on Lai Erpi.

Otherwise, if they proved it was a deliberate frame-up, it wouldn't be something that could be settled just by spending a little money.

…

The investigation into the fast-food shop, even though they tried to speed it up, still went from afternoon to night.

This is already the result of multiple parties' oversight.

They still hired a third-party agency for testing; the fast-food shop's overall operation, including its sanitary environment, had no issues at all.

The cause of Lai Erpi's food poisoning has also been determined, and it can basically be judged as caused by an external factor.

Liu Long immediately shackled Lai Erpi; originally Lai Erpi was happily crossing his legs and humming a tune, but when he was suddenly forced upright, he screamed in terror.

Liu Long deliberately feigned ignorance, claiming his problem was serious, and when they moved the interrogation to another place, he said confession would be lenient and resistance would be severe.

He let Lai Erpi use this night to think carefully.

Lai Erpi thought nothing at all.

He just went to have a meal, but ended up in the hospital; when he woke up realizing he was a patient, he wanted to seize the chance to make a huge demand, happily thinking about how to spend the money once he got it, only to be shackled to the hospital bed.

All he could think of was the fast-food shop's owner, who had connections that bought off the police.

Because every time trouble arose, his boss would spend money to smooth things over, letting them escape successfully, and even turn the tables.

Now the boomerang has landed on him.

…

Wu An and Mei Wen, the married couple, along with a few helpers, walked out of the Police Station; Mei Wen saw Wu An and said with a guilty look, "A An, I've implicated you."

Wu An shook his head, "Brother Wen, we're like family, no need for formalities."

"What's this about implicating or not."

"I was the one who went to the Police Station voluntarily."

Mei Wen was startled.

At this point, Wu An and the few helpers and waitstaff talked, granting them a temporary leave and saying wages would continue to be paid during the break.

The helpers and waitstaff were uncertain and suspicious.

It's already like this.

Can the fast-food shop keep operating?

Regardless of what they thought inside, they were still happy; after all they were just workers, getting a salary was a good thing, and whether the fast-food shop could survive was not their concern.

After the helpers and waitstaff left first, Wu An and Yu Kai Lang exchanged greetings, then followed the Mei Wen couple to the Gate.

Just as they stepped out of the Gate, they saw Father, the elder brother, sister-in-law Mei Yueqin, Mei Wu, even Aunt Juan, and A Qing and the others were all there.

Of course.

Gu Anran was also there, walking over and saying, "I can't hide it, everyone knows now."

Wu An nodded, looking at everyone, "Don't worry, it's fine now."

Mei Yueqin asked, "What exactly happened?"

Wu An said, "There are peers running a fast-food shop."

Mei Yueqin said, "That's one thing to have Mei Wen taken in, but they also took you in; you weren't involved in the actual management."

Wu An smiled and said, "I was taken in to solve the problem."

"Otherwise, Brother Wen would probably have to spend the night at the Police Station tonight."

"Staying one night isn't a big deal; you shouldn't have taken the risk."

"…" Mei Wen was speechless; she thought, "She really is my good sister," but hearing that Wu An went into the Police Station voluntarily, she asked, "A An, it won't affect you, will it?"

Wu An shook his head, "No."

"I have a reason for doing this."

"Let's not talk here, let's go home first."

……

Returned home.

The food was already prepared.

After finishing the meal, Mei Wen explained the situation; at that time he had already heightened his vigilance, thinking that being extra careful would be enough, but nobody expected that person, while eating, would roll on the ground in pain.

He initially thought it was an act.

As a result, the person fainted outright, scaring him badly.

Immediately after that.

Taken to the hospital.

Called the police.

He was arrested, and even the waitstaff couldn't escape.

Upon learning that the investigation was thorough and the fast-food restaurant was cleared, Mei Wen finally realized Wu An had not lied; the relevant authorities' such swift efficiency was evidently thanks to Wu An.

Mei Wen breathed a sigh of relief: 'Good, as long as it's been cleared up.'

Mei Wu snorted: 'Brother, is that enough?'

"Why did that person get food poisoning?"

"There must be someone behind this pulling strings."

Mei Wen frowned: 'Is it those few peers?'

Wu An said: 'It's them.'

"I've already used a small trick."

"It should work."

Wu Yingwei, who had stayed silent, interjected: 'A An, don't bully others with your influence; no matter what, you must follow the rules.'

Wu Ping couldn't help but say: 'Dad, what are you saying? Now it's them looking for trouble.'

Wu An smiled: 'Dad, rest assured.'

"We at least have some standing now."

"I have shares in the fast-food restaurant, which is no secret; now that the restaurant has had an incident, and no cause can be found on the surface, I have reason to suspect this is deliberate retaliation."

"Before, I was catching spy fish at sea and even arrested Ma Weiqun and others."

"So I suspect this is related to foreign elements."

"That makes sense, right?"

Everyone was dumbfounded upon hearing that.

"Is the accusation that huge?"

Mei Wu pondered, then laughed: 'That's too reasonable.'

At that moment.

Wu An's phone rang; he picked it up and saw it was Yu Kai Lang calling.

He answered.

Yu Kai Lang said: 'A An, you're home, right?'

"The people have already been brought under control."

"The interrogation will commence shortly."

Wu An said: 'Thanks for your hard work.'

He knew.

This interrogation naturally would yield no result, since everyone knows those peers have nothing to do with foreign elements.

But that doesn't matter.

Just like Lai Er Pi's food poisoning at the fast-food restaurant.
