Once these words were spoken, and with the appearance of the public security comrades, it was clear that this recipe was indeed stolen by Chef Zhao.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on the leader's forehead. This idiot really wanted to drag him into the water!

He quickly threw Chef Zhao away like a dog-skin plaster and spoke out.

"As a chef, you can't even uphold the most basic professional ethics. Don't mention your previous relationship to me. You don't deserve it!"

After saying this, the leader even bent down deliberately, fearing that this idiot would say something shocking again.

She warned him, "Do you know who you have offended? Gu Qingcheng, anyone picked out from her family is enough to shock the entire Jiang City, and even China. I have warned you so many times not to confront her head-on, but you just didn't listen! You have brought this upon yourself!"

"Don't blame others!"

After the leader said these few simple words, he stood up and without even looking at Chef Zhao, he bowed to the public security comrade standing beside him.

"Comrade, it is my fault that such scum appeared in our state-owned restaurant. I am willing to bear the corresponding responsibility."

The public security comrade nodded, and Gu Qingcheng withdrew her gaze. She knew everything in her heart clearly. This leader was indeed capable of being a leader and was indeed good at dealing with people.

Of course, she would not be aggressive and nodded slightly, indicating that she would not hold the other party responsible for this matter.

The leader breathed a sigh of relief.

When Chef Zhao saw this scene, his heart sank.

What did the leader say just now?

Does this poor college student who is setting up a stall in front of the school have such a great background?

No matter who you pick, he can't afford to offend anyone?

This...how is this possible?

He comforted himself in his heart, but looking at the situation before him, he had to admit that his leader was right.

He pursed his lips, and suddenly, he clenched his fists tightly together. Why should he be the only one to take the blame for this matter?

He simply gave up and shouted at the top of his voice.

"This matter is not my sole responsibility! Yes, I used her secret recipe, but I didn't even know it was hers! And I didn't steal it! I bought it from someone else!"

Everyone was shocked.

What?

Bought it?

Then it seems that Chef Zhao is also a victim and not so unforgivable.

Everyone opened their ears wide, ready to continue eating melons.

Gu Qingcheng raised her eyebrows. Look, he had already given it away. She loved to watch dogs bite each other all her life.

Chef Zhao just thought that Mu Hanmei and Kong Yulan were in cahoots with Gu Qingcheng, so he spoke without thinking.

"Oh, I know! This formula was given to me by Mu Hanmei and Kong Yulan. They are Gu Qingcheng's roommates! They colluded with each other and wanted to frame me for stealing it. They deliberately found a fake formula for me in order to ruin my reputation. This is all their conspiracy!"

Everyone listened!

Wow, this melon is really big.

Gu Qingcheng sneered but didn't say anything.

She wanted the other party to say a few more words, so that it would be more satisfying to slap him in the face.

The public security comrade said coldly on the side.

"Comrade, if you don't have actual evidence to prove it, you are slandering and making a false accusation, which is an even greater crime."

"Oh! Am I guilty of an even greater crime? I'm clearly telling the truth!" Chef Zhao saw that Gu Qingcheng didn't say a word at this time, and he just felt that he was safe. He must be feeling guilty after being exposed!

"These are all based on reason and evidence. Don't try to abuse your power to bully others!"

He also faced the public and tried to redirect public opinion: "Today, I ask everyone to bear witness. I, Zhao, have worked in the hotel for so many years and have been conscientious and have basically not made any mistakes. Everyone has seen my character. Every word I say today is true. If I lie, I will be struck by lightning!"

Chef Zhao swore a solemn oath. As he said this, he subconsciously looked up at the sky. Fortunately, there was no thunder.

After hearing these words, everyone was actually shaken in their hearts.

Is Chef Zhao really the victim?

Did they all misunderstand him?

Most people were skeptical and decided to see for themselves.

Gu Qingcheng saw that it would not be good to let the other party perform a one-man show for such a long time, so she had to say a few words.

He curled his lips slightly and said, "You are really good at talking. You even swore that God would punish you with five thunderbolts."

Chef Zhao stretched his neck and said, "I didn't lie. What am I afraid of?"

"Heh." Gu Qingcheng turned around and said, "If I were not the person involved, I might have believed it. Okay, since you are so confident, just find someone to confront you. Otherwise, you will not give up until you reach the Yellow River."
