Protagonist:

Lu Feng

The fat man glanced at the tightly closed door of Lu Family Restaurant, then looked at Hu Ge beside him with his brow tightly furrowed, and couldn't help but lean over and whisper: "Hu Ge, how about... we run away?"

"Run? Run where?"

Hu Ge turned his head and glared at the fat man in displeasure: "Do you have money? Enough for train tickets? Besides, do you think running away means it's over? Did you forget those old... those old masters from yesterday?"

He originally wanted to say "those old geezers," but then thought of something and changed the address.

Thinking of last night's harrowing experience, Hu Ge broke out in a cold sweat: "Although those people yesterday didn't look like police, I always felt they were far more formidable than police! Those people definitely aren't ordinary people; I estimate that right now, we few might be watched by those black-clad men from yesterday! If you dare to run away, once caught back, they'll break your legs!"

Upon hearing Hu Ge's words, Yellow Hair and the other two were instantly like frightened birds, subconsciously looking around constantly, always feeling a chill down their backs.

"Hu Ge, then... then what do we do?"

The fat man's voice already carried a sobbing tone: "If Boss Lu really doesn't come, those people from yesterday definitely won't let us off! I have an elderly mother at home above and a dog below, I can't get into trouble!"

"What are you howling for!"

Hu Ge was made vexed and annoyed by him, raised his hand and slapped the fat man's forehead, making the fat man obediently close his mouth, then said in a composed tone: "Hasn't it not come to that step yet? Maybe Boss Lu is delayed by traffic on the road, or by something else, wait a bit longer!"

He said these words, not knowing whether he was comforting the fat man or comforting himself.

The fat man was somewhat sobered by Hu Ge's slap, but looking at the tightly closed door of Lu Family Restaurant, the panic in his heart still did not dissipate.

He couldn't help but press his palms together in front of his chest, with a pious expression praying to the sky: "Heavenly Father, please, please let Boss Lu appear soon! As long as Boss Lu can open for business on time today, I am willing to exchange ten years of my lifespan! Please, please..."

Not knowing whether the fat man's prayer really worked, just as his voice fell, a low and familiar engine sound suddenly came from the direction of the Food Street parking lot.

Hu Ge and the others instantly straightened up, hurriedly stood up and looked toward the parking lot.

That black Maybach steadily parked into a parking space; after the car door opened, Lu Feng got out of the car.

His face carried a bit of fatigue, and there were faint dark circles under his eyes.

After returning last night, he read cooking books until past two in the morning, woke up before seven in the morning, and spent most of the daytime holding cooking books to read.

In the afternoon he really couldn't help but take a nap; when he woke up it was already four-thirty, almost oversleeping.

To complete this system task, he had been exhausted these past few days.

Seeing Lu Feng's figure finally appear, the hearts that Hu Ge and the four had been holding in their throats instantly fell to the ground, and they all breathed a sigh of relief as if unburdened.

The fat man was even more excited to the point of incoherence, pointing at Lu Feng walking slowly from afar, and shouted excitedly at Hu Ge: "Hu Ge! See it or not! Boss Lu really came! I've been saying I'm blessed by the Heavenly Father, you few didn't believe me, now you believe it, right!"

Hu Ge looked at the fat man's excited appearance, his complexion somewhat complex as he patted his shoulder, speaking in a strange tone: "Fat man... you've gone through trouble, thanks!"

The fat man was completely baffled, just about to open his mouth to ask "thank me for what," but Hu Ge ignored him, walked past him toward the store entrance of Lu Family Restaurant.

The fat man stood in place scratching his head, looking at Hu Ge's back with a confused expression.

The short man came over, looking at the fat man with an expression of admiration: "Fat Brother, from now on I'll call you Brother! Your spirit of self-sacrifice truly makes me, your little brother, admire you to the utmost! I didn't expect you would, for the safety of us brothers, willingly give up ten years of life! My worship for you is like the surging river, endless..."

"!!"

Only then did the fat man suddenly realize what he had said when he prayed just now, his eyes widening.

He hurriedly pressed his palms together again, explaining with a panicked expression: "Heavenly Father, just now I was joking, you old man absolutely must not take it seriously!"

After Lu Feng greeted the diners gathered at the store entrance, he opened the shop door and quickly walked in.

He went straight into the kitchen, took out the ordered ingredients from the storage room, and began preparing the dishes in an orderly manner.

At the store entrance, Hu Ge brought the fat man, the short man, and Yellow Hair; the four of them loitered at the entrance for a while.

Since they had come to apologize, they naturally couldn't walk in with great fanfare, so they took advantage of the diners outside not paying attention, sneaking into the restaurant hall one by one with hunched waists.

There were no lights on in the restaurant hall; the light inside was somewhat dim, only the direction of the kitchen had lights on, with the sound of rushing water and chopping vegetables coming from inside.

After the four entered the shop, they dared not delay, walking straight toward the counter side.

"Boss Lu! Boss Lu! Please come out for a moment!"

Hu Ge stood in front of the counter, took a deep breath, tried to make his voice sound as sincere as possible, and shouted a sentence toward Lu Feng who was busy in the kitchen.

The fat man beside him, afraid Lu Feng wouldn't hear, patted the counter with his hand, making a "dong dong dong" sound.

Actually, when the four of them sneaked into the hall, Lu Feng, whose senses were very sharp, had already heard the noise.

He turned his head and glanced through the kitchen's glass window; those four figures looked very familiar.

Although yesterday in the small alley, in the pitch darkness he hadn't seen those people's faces clearly, he recognized their builds at a glance.

Lu Feng frowned, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

Didn't these few people get beaten enough yesterday?

I haven't yet found trouble with these few people, and today they actually came to my door on their own initiative?

Hearing their shouts, Lu Feng did not immediately go out.

Right now it was broad daylight, and there were so many diners outside; he determined that even if these few people came to cause trouble, they wouldn't dare to go too far.

Lu Feng also didn't intend to pay attention to these people, keeping his head down and continuing to handle the ingredients in his hand.

However, Hu Ge and the four outside did not intend to give up, still shouting persistently at the counter side.

Lu Feng worried that these few people would make a loud racket in the shop and affect the diners outside, so he put down the ingredients in his hand and unwillingly walked out of the kitchen.

But before coming out, to be safe, he casually picked up an arm-thick rolling pin from the chopping board.

Now he still didn't know the purpose of these few people coming this time; having a weapon in his hand would look more deterrent.
