Xiaoxiao and Chu Lian had been discussing their countermeasures but were interrupted by wails and cries from outside!
It seemed there was trouble! The two rushed out of the private room!
At the entrance, the place was crowded, everyone was discussing animatedly, pointing and gesturing.
"Is this a black-hearted establishment? My son died because of the food from your restaurant, you must explain this!"
"My poor dear son! Oh Heaven! Why did you take my son away! It’s all because of these heartless people! Give me back my son!"
An old woman started wailing and howling.
"Everyone should avoid dining at this restaurant, it’s a shady place, their food is unclean, it might kill you all too!"
The old woman’s relatives were shouting at the crowd gathering around!
The diners inside the restaurant began to panic, some even started to gag, fearing they might be next to die.
As soon as Xiaoxiao came out, she witnessed this drama! She looked at the old woman, her family, and the dead body lying on the ground. Xiaoxiao carefully observed everyone’s actions.
"Madam, did your son eat at our restaurant? May I ask when and what he ordered?"
Upon seeing this, Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"What, you still want to deny it? My son died after eating your kimchi! Where else could the kimchi come from?" the old woman insisted angrily!
"Are you sure it was from our store?"
"It was bought here! Why else would we come here! Oh, there’s no justice!"
Her cries were so loud they could shake heaven and earth, like thunder rumbling without rain. Xiaoxiao just couldn’t stand it anymore, but before she could speak, another wave of people interrupted!
"Look, everyone! This is the place, we all got sick from eating the kimchi from this restaurant!"
"You all mustn’t eat here, it really kills!"
"This restaurant’s food is unclean!"
After the arrival of the second group, the patrons in the restaurant became even more panicked, utterly convinced that the Yuelai Restaurant’s food could be lethal.
"Everyone, please calm down, we will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly! Rest assured!"
Shopkeeper Wang began to calm the crowd, but it seemed the crowd was not buying it.
"Everyone here got sick, and a person died, what else is there to investigate? It’s definitely your fault!"
"Exactly, it’s definitely your fault, why else would everyone come to you to settle accounts and not go anywhere else."
"Isn’t the kimchi exclusively from here?"
"What to do? I just ate that kimchi!"
"No way, I need to see a doctor! And you’re paying for the doctor’s visit."
Chu Lian saw that Shopkeeper Wang was unable to control the situation, glanced at Xiaoxiao, who had her arms crossed and was watching the spectacle as if it didn’t concern her.
After all, it really wasn’t Xiaoxiao’s concern. Whether to care or not depended entirely on her mood!
The people here might not know how to handle the situation, but she was Zhong Xiaoxiao, who had watched plenty of historical dramas, mystery dramas, detective dramas, and should be thankful to the brilliant scriptwriters; this type of plot was quite common, and also thankful she was a dedicated homebody!
Seeing Shopkeeper Wang’s reaction, Xiaoxiao knew disaster was looming, and it was up to her to step in!
Xiaoxiao went over to the person lying on the ground and slowly circled around him, appearing thoughtful. Then she turned to the old woman and said:
"Are you sure your son is dead?"
