Chapter 813 Hitting someone is against the law!
Bai Yi seized the opportunity and continued to break through Boss Zhang's psychological defenses.
“Mr. Zhang, our main purpose in coming here is to prove that there is nothing wrong with our hot pot restaurant. We now know where the problem lies, and we will not give up until this matter is resolved.”
Wang Ye said, "Yes, we all know perfectly well whether there's a problem with your shop or not. If you get those children's parents to drop their appeal, then everything will be fine for everyone. But if you let them insist that it's our hot pot restaurant's fault, then we might as well fight to the death. Boss Zhang, if your shop really has to close down, don't blame us for not telling you clearly beforehand!"
Mr. Zhang glared at him, "You have to be responsible for your words! There's nothing wrong with my shop to begin with! Besides, who knows if this is a trap you've set for me!"
If he were to ask those parents to change their testimonies, it would be tantamount to admitting that he was the one who did it. What if Wang Ye and Bai Yi turned around and reported him?
They say nice things now, but in this line of work, who doesn't have their own agenda? Otherwise, how would they make money?
"Why are you so stubborn?!" He Fen couldn't sit still any longer. "My son has made himself perfectly clear, and you're still playing dumb with me? Fine, if you're not afraid of trouble, then just wait and see. I'll make sure you close down at this time in less than three days!"
After He Fen finished her harsh words, she said directly to Bai Yi and Wang Ye, "Let's go home. Since the shop can't open now, we have plenty of time to wear him down!"
Bai Yi and Wang Ye exchanged a glance, then, in coordination with He Fen, prepared to leave.
Boss Zhang wasn't actually afraid of Wang Ye and Bai Yi, because they were, after all, young people, and educated young people at that. They weren't that bold and were hesitant in doing things.
If you were even slightly more assertive, they would have some reservations and wouldn't dare to do anything else.
But people like He Fen are different.
She clearly comes from a rural background, and so does Mr. Zhang himself.
He had personally witnessed what rural women were like when they threw tantrums.
The main selling point is that they are fearless.
People like them can argue their way out of trouble, even in front of the police, leaving the police helpless.
Just like Wang Ye said, they have already found out what happened. Even if he doesn't say it, Wang Ye will still find a way to find out the truth.
By then, even if he wanted to admit it, it would probably be too late.
Anyway, he didn't do this alone. If he really loses money on his shop, it would be a huge loss.
After thinking it over, Boss Zhang finally came to a conclusion. Seeing that Wang Ye and the others were about to leave, he couldn't help but chase after them.
"Please wait a moment."
The three of them paused, and Wang Ye chuckled inwardly, feeling a bit smug.
It seems that He Fen's moves really scared this Mr. Zhang.
He didn't show his emotions on his face, but turned around and asked casually, "Is there anything else, Mr. Zhang?"
"Since you've already found out it was me, I'll just be frank. Those kids did get food poisoning at my shop..."
Wang Ye couldn't help but clench his fists.
That bastard is truly shameless!
"I really had no choice. Your shop has only been open for a little over a month, and it has taken away almost half of my customers. I already had no customers, and now this has happened. I'm afraid that if others find out, my shop will be completely unable to continue operating!"
Mr. Zhang spoke as if he had been forced into a corner, but in reality, he was just playing the victim.
He wasn't very good at business, and he hardly ever managed the stores he owned.
Rather than saying he wanted to make money, it would be more accurate to say he was afraid of being implicated in such an incident.
He's only been enjoying his good life for a few years, and he doesn't want to ruin himself because of a hot pot restaurant.
Wang Ye held back for a while, but finally couldn't hold back anymore. "You're afraid that others will find out, so you can pin the blame on me? Do you know that I've lost tens of thousands of yuan while I've been closed for the past few days!"
Bai Yi advised him, "Don't get agitated."
She looked at Mr. Zhang and said, "Mr. Zhang, since we've come this far, I'd like to know the specifics of what happened."
After all that fuss, in the end, Mr. Zhang still had to speak for himself. He couldn't have been more frustrated.
"Actually, when this incident came out, the parents of those children were also unsure whose problem it was, because they had eaten at my place just two days before they went to your house."
Mr. Zhang said that he was afraid of taking responsibility at the time, and since his own shop had some problems, he gave those parents some money to make them insist that the children had problems at Wang Ye's hot pot restaurant.
After listening, Bai Yi asked, "So, you were right to do what the Food and Drug Administration did?"
Mr. Zhang quickly denied it, "It wasn't me! At the time, I just wanted to shift the blame to your hot pot restaurant. I thought that if things got out of hand, even if your hot pot restaurant wasn't at fault, it would be. I didn't think about anything else at all."
“However…” Mr. Zhang stammered, hesitating whether or not to say it.
Wang Ye said angrily, "What time is it now? Does it make any difference whether you talk or not? Hurry up and say it!"
Since Mr. Zhang intends to reveal this matter, he is also leaving himself a way out.
He said, "I can tell you, but you have to promise not to report me, otherwise I'd rather die than tell you!"
Wang Ye gritted his teeth and subconsciously rolled up his sleeves. "You're threatening me now?"
Mr. Zhang used his black bag to shield his face, shouting, "What are you doing! Hitting someone is against the law!"
Bai Yi said to Boss Zhang, "Don't worry, the purpose of our visit is simply to get you to explain this matter clearly. As long as you have a way to convince the public that we are innocent, we will not get involved in anything else."
Before coming here, Wang Ye asked Bai Yi why, since they already knew that Boss Zhang had maliciously framed them, they didn't just report him directly. If his shop was investigated, he definitely wouldn't be able to get away with it.
Bai Yi said that Wang Ye was thinking too simply.
This incident has spread online, and almost everyone is convinced that it's the hot pot restaurant's fault.
If they were to come forward at this point and tell everyone that they were framed, virtually no one would believe them.
On the contrary, people will think that they are trying to shirk their own responsibility and drag their peers down with them.
People only believe what they discover and see; they will never care what you say.
Therefore, the more eager they are to prove themselves in front of the public in this matter, the less likely anyone will believe them.
Only what the parties involved say is convincing.
