Seeing that his young master had lost his temper again, Amo felt deeply pained. He hated his own incompetence, as misfortunes for the young master kept occurring one after another, yet he was helpless to stop them.
He quickly tried to restrain his young master, hoping he would stop being so enraged. He reminded aloud, "Young master, we should think about how to handle this situation."
Amo thought to himself that if this matter couldn’t be resolved, Dongfeng Restaurant would probably be doomed.
Li Fuyou, who was being held back, was also trying hard to control his emotions. His eyes were dark and frightening as he said through gritted teeth, "Amo, let’s return to the Li Mansion."
The eldest son of the Chu Family had performed this deed with clear intent and a set plan. If he were to counterattack, he must think it through, and not act rashly as he had in the past.
Dongfeng Restaurant was already in this state, and his staying there was useless. He needed to go back and think things over properly.
"Alright, young master."
Just as the two of them were leaving the private room, they were surrounded by a group of government soldiers before they could even exit Dongfeng Restaurant.
Li Fuyou’s brows furrowed tightly. He had been thoroughly outmaneuvered this time. Those people had not gone far, and the government office had arrived incredibly fast—without a doubt, this had been prearranged by someone.
The encirclement of Dongfeng Restaurant by government soldiers caught the attention of people on the street, who curiously crowded around to see what was happening.
It was Arrest Officer Guan leading the team, who shouted toward the inside, "Everyone inside, come out."
Li Fuyou, accompanied by Amo, exited Dongfeng Restaurant and said, "Arrest Officer Guan, I trust you’ve been well, what brings you here unexpectedly?"
"Young Master Li, I won’t beat around the bush. Withdraw your people. I am here to seal the restaurant by order of my superior."
Upon hearing this, the crowd began to stir, with some people shouting in rebuke.
"Rightly sealed. Such a shady establishment should be closed down."
"Their food is unclean. It should have been sealed long ago."
"Exactly, who would dare to come to such a place? Good riddance."
Such words reached Li Fuyou’s ears. He let out a cold laugh as the Li Family’s young master had indeed orchestrated a fine act even rallying the public.
Li Fuyou spoke slowly, "Arrest Officer Guan, there must be some misunderstanding. Is there a way to work this out? I would like to meet with Lord Li."
"Young Master Li, forgive my bluntness, but this order comes directly from the superior." Arrest Officer Guan paused before continuing, "Please don’t make it difficult for us who are just carrying out our duties. Withdraw your people for now, and if this proves to be a misunderstanding, the superior will send us to lift the seal later."
"You few, go inside and clear the place out," instructed Arrest Officer Guan, directing the other arrest officers.
Swiftly, all the employees inside Dongfeng Restaurant were herded out, and the entrance was sealed.
"Well, Young Master Li, we shall take our leave."
The government soldiers left like that, but the crowd lingered, still discussing the sealing of Dongfeng Restaurant.
Unable to stand it any longer, Amo roared at the crowd, "All of you, scram! Stop your gossip here or you’ll regret it if you stay."
Only then did the crowd disperse.
"Young master, let’s go back," Amo said. After successive setbacks today, the young master should return and rest first.
Amo was right. Li Fuyou indeed felt provoked by the relentless issues. He couldn’t believe that within just a few short months of taking over Dongfeng Restaurant, it had come to this, and he even began to doubt his own abilities. "Amo, let’s go to see Lord Li."
