After watching the man leave, she went to the backyard to find Zhu Chengye.

"Brother Zhu, business at the restaurant isn't good. To cut costs, we can take turns working."

Wan Qiqi immediately threw out a question upon arrival.

"Shift work?" Zhu Chengye frowned. "That's a good method, but how do we pay those who are off work?"

"Deduct your usual rest days!" Wan Qiqi said, looking towards the back gate. "Although it's not ideal, it's still better than now."

“Alright!” Zhu Chengye replied, “I’ll go and talk to them!”

Although their relationship was not as good as before, they were still of one mind regarding the interests of the restaurant.

After making arrangements for the staff, Wan Qiqi and Zhu Chengye also discussed taking turns to look after the restaurant.

After discussing the consequences, Zhu Chengye left the restaurant first.

Wan Qiqi stayed at the restaurant until it closed and everyone left.

It was a cloudy day, and the sky darkened very quickly.

It was only past 7 PM, and we already needed to light lanterns to see the way back.

Even so, Wan Qiqi didn't feel afraid walking on the street.

Patrolling officers came and went in waves, and many of them greeted Wan Qiqi because they knew her.

"Boss Wan, why are you still on the street? Hurry up and go back, it's already dark!"

Wan Qiqi replied with a smile, "Okay, I'll head back now! You've all had a long day!"

"It's no trouble at all!" the officer said, glancing at the sky before adding, "Boss Wan, shall I give you a ride?"

Wan Qiqi did not refuse and asked the soldiers to take her to the entrance of the alley.

"I'll stop here. You'll be home in a little while!" Wan Qiqi smiled and handed over a bag of pastries. "Here, have some!"

The officers and soldiers were flattered, but in the end they took the things and left.

After reading this, Wan Qiqi thought to herself, "Not everyone in the county government office is annoying!"

Then, she carried the lantern and walked into the alley.

After taking only a few steps, Wan Qiqi felt a chill run down her spine, as if someone was watching her.

The hand holding the lantern suddenly tightened, and he knew something was wrong.

If that person has their eye on you, you absolutely cannot go home.

Thinking of this, Wan Qiqi began to walk towards other alleys.

She remembered that there was an alley leading to the main street, which happened to be the area Chen Yongnian was patrolling today.

"Still trying to run?"

A hoarse voice rang out from the shadows.

Wan Qiqi quickened her pace.

The next moment, a dark shadow flashed by, taking Wan Qiqi with it and disappearing into the alley.
