Wherever there is a trace, there is a place to investigate.

Liu Ji also thought that they could only settle the accounts for the land he had acquired in the past two days. Even if they reported it to the authorities, he would only lose a little over one tael of silver. He could then try to curry favor with the officials in prison and still get out.

He had even planned in his mind that after he came out, he would go to a place where no one knew him and start over. He refused to believe that he would fail again.

But he didn't know that Wan Qiqi had already cut off his escape route.

While Chen Yongliang was checking the accounts, Wu Gousheng was already checking Liu Ji's family accounts and had almost figured out how much money he had taken from the restaurant.

In fact, Wu Gousheng has already handed over these accounts to the government.

At this moment, Chief Tao had already sent people over to arrest Liu Ji and send him to the county government for interrogation, so that he would never be able to recover.

Liu Ji, of course, knew nothing of this and was still kneeling and begging Wan Qiqi, "Manager Wan, I was bewitched to take the restaurant's money, please forgive me! I have elderly parents and young children to support, what will they do if something happens to me..."

Wan Qiqi glanced at the hand gripping the hem of her skirt, a hint of disgust in her eyes.

She lightly lifted her foot, kicking away the hand gripping her skirt, and said coldly, "When you do these things, you should have thought about the consequences, and what will happen to your family!"

Liu Ji grasped at empty air, bracing himself on the ground with his hands, his eyes slightly reddening.

Wan Qiqi stepped on his hand without any politeness and said coldly, "We've treated you well, but you've betrayed us. I can't tolerate this, and neither can Manager Zhu. Xinglong Restaurant must not have thieves!"

She said this and stepped on the ground even harder.

Those watching couldn't help but gasp, clutching the back of their hands, feeling a faint pain in their own.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside, and the constables appeared inside the restaurant.

"Who is Liu Ji?" the constable asked.

Everyone looked over at the sound.

Wan Qiqi withdrew her foot and said, "Liu Ji is here. I am the manager of Xinglong Restaurant. I am the one who reported the case..."

Wan Qiqi's ruthlessness taught the people at Xinglong Restaurant a harsh lesson, showing them the consequences of scheming behind someone's back.

Compared to other restaurants, Xinglong Restaurant actually treats its staff very well; almost no other restaurant can surpass it.

However, some people are always greedy and want more.

Of course, these people won't end up in a good situation either.
