Chapter 174
Luo Zhi was stunned for a moment, not realizing why the system suddenly said this, but soon...
Luo Zhi was stunned for a moment, not reacting to why the system suddenly said such a sentence, but he soon remembered that he now had more than one system.
If it's not yours, then it's another's.
Leaving...
Luo Zhi's heart skipped a beat and he immediately quickened his pace and walked forward. He bumped into the Second Prince when he passed him but didn't care.
His eyes were fixed on the gate of Yueting Self-service Building, and his pace quickened again as he started to run, or even escape.
When Luo Zhi's hand finally touched the door, his expression relaxed and he was ready to open the door and walk in quickly.
But he found that the door started moving before he even exerted any force with his hands.
Luo Zhi's heart skipped a beat as he saw the gap in the door getting bigger and bigger. When he raised his eyes again, he was met with a pair of cold eyes.
"Ayue..."
The door moved to the sides, and it turned out to be Xiao Yue standing behind the door. However, such a coincidence made it seem as if she had been waiting for a long time.
Wait for him to fall into the trap.
Luo Zhi's pupils constricted, and he stepped back subconsciously, but he stepped on something and fell down.
Then a group of soldiers appeared from nowhere and surrounded him in an instant.
The leader Duan Lin stepped forward, grabbed Luo Zhi with one hand and lifted him up, then kicked him hard in the knee, making him kneel down with a "bang".
"It's true that it can hide. A mouse is no more than that." Fu Xunzhou walked out of the crowd, staring at Luo Zhi's embarrassment with his dark brown eyes.
Xiao Yue didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. After a moment of surprise, his expression turned cold and he stood in front of Luo Zhi from behind the door.
Luo Zhi was stunned. He had already realized that he had been set up again and it was useless to struggle.
He looked up and saw Fang Sanhong, Lu Ran, Su Xiaoxiao, Sun Wen...
In addition to them, a number of people led by the Qian sisters also gathered on the avenue.
Zhang Feiyun, Nishang, Zhao Liang, Jiang You, Liu Meng, Li Xiong...
There are more and more old customers who have full faith in Yueting Self-service, and the scene is getting bigger and bigger.
Luo Zhi's lips moved slightly, and his eyes finally fell on Xiao Yue. He asked her as if nothing had happened: "Ayue, you're back."
"Why do you still dare to call me that?" Xiao Yue wanted to say this just now, and now there is no need to be merciful: "Why did I come back? Don't you know?"
"What does this mean?"
Luo Zhi could no longer remain calm, and when he glanced over, he saw that the Second Prince had also been tied up and was kneeling behind Fu Xunzhou.
Truly like a dog.
Luo Zhi smiled: "Because you asked me to announce the price increase in the store, but the situation was not what you expected. Now that you can't control public opinion, you want to make me a scapegoat, right?"
"Did you see these in your dream?" Xiao Yue looked at the change in his expression, feeling extremely complicated and even more disgusted: "Why didn't I know that I had made such a decision?"
Luo Zhi's gentle face showed a hint of innocence: "Ayue, you said this yourself, and everyone has heard it."
He seemed to have grasped this point and used it as his final shield.
After all, the situation had collapsed since that day. What if the only remaining customers trusted Yueting Self-service? Could she rely on them to turn around her reputation?
For a store, a steady stream of new customers is more important, but if you know this, who wouldn’t spit?
Luo Zhi just stared at Xiao Yue, waiting for a look of anger to appear on her face.
The sound of people discussing quietly could be heard all around. They felt complicated about what they had heard that day, but they were also worried that Xiao Yue could turn the tables and prove it was fake.
But no matter who they were, the following scene was completely different from what they had imagined.
Xiao Yue raised his eyebrows and took out a familiar megaphone.
Luo Zhi's heart skipped a beat.
The next second, Xiao Yue lightly pressed the megaphone, and the voice of "Luo Zhi" rang out from nowhere, so bad—
'Ayue, I think it's time. So many things are sold at such a low price. Do you really think it's worth it? So what if the price goes up? Can’t we just make more money? '
'What is the time? I have never had this idea. So what if the price increases? Luo Zhi, this affects the reputation of my Yueting Buffet. If you bring this up again, the dessert area you are in charge of will be discontinued from now on. Don't come to my store again, you are not welcome here! ”
This was Xiao Yue's voice, exactly the same as the tone that Luo Zhi played through the megaphone that day.
And this time it was clearer, not ambiguous - "It's time... so what if the price goes up... you are responsible..."
There was an uproar all around, and those who were present that day recalled carefully and found that everything matched.
So this is the complete sentence!
But this was not what surprised everyone the most. The most surprising thing was that a cry of "Xiao Yue" was heard from the megaphone next.
Then "Luo Zhi" said in a vicious tone: "This is not up to you!"
What's the meaning? !
The crowd, who had originally been reluctant to make any noise due to the presence of the city lord, now let out their voices completely.
Fu Xunzhou frowned slightly, not because he felt the noise, but because of the words in the microphone.
He knew it was fake, and Xiao Yue was probably just using his own method to retaliate against him. Even so, he still found himself unable to accept it.
Fu Xunzhou couldn't accept that Xiao Yue might have another accident in the future.
Once is enough.
Xiao Yue did not notice the darkness in his eyes, but only witnessed the collapse of Luo Zhi's expression.
From being proud to being shocked, and now shaking my head unconsciously...
Xiao Yue felt that this was not enough, and added fuel to the fire by saying, "Everyone knows about megaphones. They can not only transmit sound but also record it. That's what you said. Fortunately, I brought one with me that day, otherwise..."
"Even if I had ten mouths, I couldn't explain it clearly, Luo Zhi."
Boomerang, every strike is deadly.
This was the last time Xiao Yue called his name, and it ended in a way he had never imagined.
Luo Zhi's pupils seemed to have lost their color, darker than those of the people he controlled. He stared at Xiao Yue and could not utter a word.
"Bring him up." Fu Xunzhou spoke at this time, with a subtle murderous intent in his cold tone.
Everyone around looked back and saw several burly men being escorted up by soldiers from the side.
Duan Lin, the chief guard, took a quick glance and said, "They were originally bandits outside Qingyun City, and later cooperated with Luo Zhi. Not only did they harm Liuyun City some time ago, but they also recently attempted to kidnap Xiao Yue, the owner of Yueting Self-service Restaurant. Now that we have all the evidence, Luo Zhi, what else do you have to say?"
The crowd, who were originally confused, immediately understood after hearing this.
"That's the Madam Xiao they kidnapped!"
"Luo Zhi is indeed a villain!"
"How despicable! They actually teamed up with the bandits. Fortunately, no one was killed!"
"I said Yueting Buffet wouldn't raise prices for no reason!"
"I have always believed in Madam Xiao. I am so glad that she is alright!"
"I remember now. This group of bandits did commit crimes on South Street before, and now they have finally been brought to justice!"
"Luo Zhizhen deserves to die, bah!"
Every word and every sentence was directed at Luo Zhi and the bandits.
These bandits trembled all over and dared not say a word.
Luo Zhize seemed to wake up from a dream, forgetting that he was still being held, and stood up and wanted to go to Xiao Yue.
"Ayue..."
But as soon as he moved, Duan Lin grabbed him and kicked him in the back, causing him to fall to the ground.
Fu Xunzhou treated him like an ant. When he walked to Xiao Yue's side, he naturally stepped on Luo Zhi's hand which was raised to grab something.
When Xiao Yue saw Fu Xunzhou, his attention was diverted and he did not see Luo Zhi, or rather, he did not want to see his expression.
She only said to the indignant crowd: "Now that things have come to this, I owe you an apology. The price increase was not my intention, and I did not expect to be murdered by Luo Zhi, causing him to act so recklessly. I was unable to show up in time when the incident happened. Now I am back and I will make a formal response."
"No matter how many more delicacies Yueting Buffet adds, the price will always remain at 100 copper coins. It will not and cannot be destroyed by a mouse."
Xiao Yue's righteous voice spread throughout the entrance of the South Street branch, and at the end he showed his first genuine smile in a few days.
"To this end, I will hold a self-service barbecue in Linxiping from the second to the sixth day of the Chinese New Year. As long as you wear red clothes on that day, you can eat for free, which means to celebrate the prosperity of the new year!"
As soon as the words fell, sounds of surprise rang out all around, and joy filled the air.
Fu Xunzhou's eyes were on Xiao Yue from beginning to end, and when he saw her smiling face, he also slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
Xiao Yue couldn't ignore this gaze, so he turned around and found that he was not used to him wearing a mask.
But it's still cool.
Now that the matter was resolved, Xiao Yue's mood improved and he took the initiative to move over.
The distance between them shortened. This action was so sudden that Fu Xunzhou paused all over.
Xiao Yue's eyes swept across his face, and she leaned close to his ear and breathed softly.
"Thanks."
Fu Xunzhou was a little slow to react for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he caught the cunning in Xiao Yue's eyes.
He looked at her for a few seconds, then took the initiative to reach out and hold her hand: "Will you stay at your house tonight?"
"Should I thank you so much?" Xiao Yue blinked, deliberately misunderstanding.
Fu Xunzhou's ears suddenly turned red, and he whispered, "Everyone is here, just staying for a while. I have arranged the best courtyard for you, and besides..."
He closed the distance again, his brows showing seriousness: "This matter was resolved thanks to your determination and courage. I only contributed a little bit."
Xiao Yue admitted it of course, nodded and seemed to be serious, but said: "Don't talk to me so closely at night without a mask."
Fu Xunzhou then remembered that this was the first time he had truly worn a mask in front of her.
I clearly didn't feel anything about it before, but now I feel a sense of inexplicable shame.
In a corner not far away, the second prince witnessed it all.
When the voice came out of the megaphone, people around were not surprised but believed it to be true. Then Fu Xunzhou became so gentle as if he had become a different person... and most importantly, a restaurant only charged one hundred copper coins?
The second prince was in a daze, realizing that the world had changed, just like Luo Zhi emerging from the ice at the bottom of the river.
But now Luo Zhi probably can't go back to that place to hide. What awaits him is endless torture - no one would ever want to try Fu Xunzhou's methods.
Luo Zhi, just wish you good luck.
The second prince came back to his senses and thought that he was not much better...
Why on earth did he come to Liuyun City? !
