Just then, an angry voice suddenly came from the crowd.

"Don't be fooled, everyone! This is not an 'overpriced instant noodle' at all! The real 'overpriced instant noodle' is right outside Pan's Noodle Shop!"

The one speaking was Xu Yao.

She was pulling her stall along when she stopped behind these people.

I originally wanted to buy a bowl of Zhou Yang's instant noodles, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing.

"Authentic 'sky-high priced instant noodles'! The taste is absolutely amazing! A hundred times better than Liu Peng's lousy noodles!"

"You...you little brat, what nonsense are you spouting?!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Peng was immediately terrified.

He rushed to Xu Yao in one stride.

"My instant noodles are made with a family secret recipe, one of a kind! Who do you think you are, daring to spout such nonsense?!"

He was panicking. Could this woman be an undercover agent sent by that old bastard Pan Jianye?

No, we need to stay calm and not panic.

Xu Yao scoffed, her face full of disdain, and leaned back to avoid the spittle flying from Liu Peng's mouth.

"Who's spouting nonsense? The eyes of the masses are discerning! Don't you have any idea what despicable things you've done?"

She snapped her phone out and opened a video.

On the screen, the reporter righteously and sternly questioned Zhou Yang, while Liu Peng fanned the flames from the sidelines, and the surrounding crowd was filled with indignation...

Xu Yao said, "This video is from yesterday's interview with Zhou Yang."

"Open your dog eyes and see clearly!"

At the same time, Xu Yao shoved her phone right under Liu Peng's nose and raised her voice eight octaves.

"You unscrupulous merchant! Impersonating someone else and selling counterfeit goods, you're utterly depraved!"

Xu Yao became angrier and angrier as she spoke. This Liu Peng had completely redefined her understanding of "shamelessness".

"This...this..."

Looking at himself in the video, Liu Peng's face turned red and white, and he stammered for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence.

He never expected Xu Yao to have such a trick up her sleeve! Now, it's all over!

The onlookers were in an uproar after watching the video.

"Pah! So this bastard was the imposter!"

"Damn it, 'sky-high price instant noodles'? I think 'black-hearted instant noodles' is more like it!"

"Let's beat him up! He dared to cheat us out of our money, he's got a death wish!"

...

The crowd was outraged, and everyone rolled up their sleeves and took action.

I wish I could tear Liu Peng and that guy who impersonated Zhou Yang to pieces.

Someone with sharp eyes spotted the "fake Zhou Yang" huddled in the corner and rushed over to kick him.

"You little bastard! You dare impersonate Boss Zhou? I'll beat you to death!"

The "fake Zhou Yang" was kicked and nearly fell flat on his face. He had never seen anything like this before, and he screamed in fright, crouching on the ground with his head in his hands, trembling.

Upon seeing this, Liu Peng thought: Oh no, this group of people is going to rebel!

He pushed his way through the crowd, shouting at the top of his lungs.

"It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! Please let me explain..."

But who would listen to his explanation?

Seeing that there was no way to salvage the situation, Liu Peng immediately fled.

When "fake Zhou Yang" saw Liu Peng running away, he cried and shouted with snot and tears streaming down his face.

"Brother, don't run away! Didn't you ask me to act? How come I got beaten up? You need more money!"

Well, this completely confirms Liu Peng's guilt.

The words "add more money" were like adding fuel to the fire, making the crowd even angrier.

Liu Peng's vision went black, and he almost fainted.

This teammate is a complete idiot, utterly useless and a disaster! He wished he could kick him to death!

He's in a hopeless situation now, and all he can do is run for his life.

"Don't run! Grab him!"

"Kill this liar!"

...

The crowd pursued relentlessly, shouting and cursing filling the air.

Liu Peng had never been so disheveled in his life. He felt like his lungs were about to explode, and his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

As he ran, he kept looking back and saw a dark mass of people surging towards him like a tide, which terrified him.

After running out of Taikoo Li, Liu Peng plopped down on the ground, panting heavily, feeling like he had almost lost his life there.

As the crowd calmed down, some people recalled their earlier experience and couldn't help but feel remorseful.

"Sigh, we were so blind to believe that liar!"

"Yes, we wronged Boss Zhou. We are really sorry."

"Boss Zhou is such a good person, we won't drive him away, will we?"

...

Everyone chimed in with their own words, expressing regret for their previous actions.

"What are you all standing there for?!"

Xu Yao stomped her foot and shouted, "Boss Zhou is right in front of Pan's Noodle Shop! Go apologize to him right now!"

A single word awakened me from my dream!

Then everyone realized, "Oh right, we need to go apologize to Boss Zhou right away!"

So the crowd surged toward Pan's Noodle Shop again.

At this moment, Zhou Yang was engrossed in cooking noodles and had no idea what had happened.

Suddenly, he felt a blur before his eyes and heard a series of noises around him.

A group of people swarmed around them.

"What's going on?" Zhou Yang was completely bewildered.

What's going on here?

Are they here to cause trouble?

He instinctively gripped the strainer in his hand, ready to "fight" at any moment.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm so sorry! We misunderstood you!"

"Yes, if it weren't for Miss Xu Yao, we would still be in the dark!"

"Mr. Zhou, please don't hold a grudge against us!"

...

Everyone apologized to Zhou Yang in a flurry of words, their attitudes incredibly sincere.

Zhou Yang then realized what was going on.

He breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to relax.

Counterfeit goods can never replace genuine products.

He looked up at Xu Yao, who was standing at the back of the crowd, and expressed his gratitude.

"There aren't many noodles left today. If you're really starving, you can try Boss Pan's noodles. The taste is absolutely amazing, no kidding!"

Zhou Yang laughed and shouted loudly to everyone.

Pan Jianye stood at the shop entrance, looking at this sudden windfall, and was so moved that tears streamed down his face.

He never dreamed that his noodle shop would ever come back to life!

“Zhou Yang…Zhou Yang…”

Pan Jianye choked up and walked shakily to Zhou Yang, about to kneel down with a thud.

"You...you are truly our Pan family's savior!"

Zhou Yang quickly helped Pan Jianye up.

"Boss Pan, what are you doing? You flatter me! If it weren't for you providing this place, I wouldn't be able to set up my stall today. I'm the one who should be thanking you!"

Wang Heren slowly walked up to the two men, carrying a bowl of instant noodles. He looked at Zhou Yang with a beaming smile, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Good! Good! Good! So young, yet so grateful, so humble and modest—truly rare! So rare indeed!"

He paused, then continued.

"You'll be coming here again tomorrow, right? I'm going to ask some of my friends to come and try it out!"
