Li Junsheng simply closed the restaurant doors.
He had a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. His gesture of closing the door made Ma Weidong and his group even more uneasy!
Ma Weidong and his group showed no sign of unease, and coldly rebuked Li Junsheng, saying, "What is your intention in locking us up in the hotel? What, we've finished investigating you, and now it's your turn to investigate us?"
The fox's tail has already been revealed, yet he's still flaunting his official power?
Li Junsheng smiled and said to Ma Weidong and the others, "I've already sent someone to call the police. You can talk to them when the police arrive!"
Ma Weidong and his group were startled. Looking around the entire restaurant, they realized that one person was indeed missing.
Seeing that Li Junsheng seemed to have sensed something was wrong, the director of the health department said sternly but weakly, "What do you mean? Didn't I say this kind of thing isn't the police's responsibility? Why did you call the police?"
"Let me tell you, if the police call them, they'll only arrest you. You're locking us up in the hotel and preventing us from leaving, which is seriously obstructing our official duties!"
"Oh, go ahead and have the police arrest me if you dare."
Li Junsheng remained indifferent, completely disregarding the words of the Minister of Health.
The threats and warnings were like punching cotton, causing no harm to Li Junsheng.
Ma Weidong genuinely felt a bit mentally exhausted!
If all else fails, should we just give up on asking him for money?
But now that Li Junsheng has called the police, it's no longer just a matter of money.
Just as Ma Weidong was pondering a solution, Tang Liang led over with some legitimate police officers.
"Who wants to call the police? What exactly happened?"
"Officer, I'm the one who wants to report a crime."
Li Junsheng walked up to the police officers and explained the situation to them.
"Today, this Ma Weidong brought several people from the so-called Municipal Health Department. He said that after eating at our restaurant, he got severe diarrhea and demanded 300 yuan in medical expenses. He also said that since we don't have a business license, we'll fine him 500 yuan!"
“If you don’t pay, you’ll take our things out of the store as payment. We have a business license, but Ma Weidong can’t produce any proof that he got food poisoning from our restaurant.”
“This Ma Weidong has never eaten at our restaurant before, and he can’t even name what dishes we serve. He’s slandering and extorting me. I suspect that the people who came with him are also swindlers posing as public officials!”
Upon hearing what Li Junsheng said to the police, Ma Weidong immediately jumped out to refute him!
"Li Junsheng, you're talking nonsense! You just don't want to admit it. Did you see the writing on these comrades' arms? How could that be wrong?"
A red ribbon with the Ministry of Health's logo on your arm? What good is that?!
Without Li Junsheng needing to say anything, the police officer said coldly, "This arm bandage doesn't prove anything. Please show us your relevant Ministry of Health credentials to prove that you are indeed public officials."
If they are indeed imposters, then this is a serious matter!
Moreover, I've never heard of the Ministry of Health imposing such a hefty fine, like robbers taking someone's belongings to pay off a fine.
Seeing that he was about to show the relevant documents, the so-called director of the health department hurriedly gave Ma Weidong a meaningful look!
Ma Weidong is also helpless in the face of the current situation!
"Come on, show me your identification documents."
Li Junsheng calmly observed these people. Just as powerful and arrogant they were a moment ago, they were now in a sorry state.
The men brought by Ma Weidong were unable to produce the relevant identification documents for a long time, and when the police officers saw that things were not going well, they directly took out handcuffs.
"Please show your identification immediately to prove you are public officials, otherwise we will arrest you according to the law!"
The police officer spoke sternly, and under such pressure, the director of the health department actually knelt down before the officer.
"Officer, I want to turn myself in. If you're going to arrest someone, arrest this guy surnamed Ma. He's the one who's got a grudge against the restaurant owner, so he gave us money to pretend to be from the Ministry of Health and extort money for him!"
"Yes, yes, he never ate at this restaurant, so there's no such thing as him getting an upset stomach. He's just trying to extort money from them."
Led by the director of the Ministry of Health, the group of people brought by Ma Weidong all identified Ma Weidong.
Ma Weidong was stunned and his defenses crumbled. He didn't want to be accused of extortion.
"What extortion, what blackmail? I'm just using a different method to get my money back from Li Junsheng. He's the one who owes me money and won't pay it back!"
"Do you have any IOU to prove I borrowed money from you? Otherwise, it's still slander!"
“I…” Ma Weidong stammered, unable to produce an IOU.
Just then, Ma Yulian pushed the door open and came in.
"Wow, it's so lively! What are you all doing?"
Upon seeing her, Ma Weidong's eyes lit up.
"I've got it! My sister can testify!"
"Sister, please tell the police officer quickly, did Li Junsheng borrow three hundred yuan from me and refuse to pay it back!"
Ma Yulian glanced at Li Junsheng; judging by his temperament, he would definitely side with Ma Weidong.
Li Guohua, Li Chunya, and Li Xiaoyu all looked at her with disappointment, convinced that Ma Yulian was going to help Ma Weidong extort money!
At this moment, Ma Yulian began to make her own plans.
She came to Li Junsheng's place alone, hoping to gain some benefits, and now it's a good opportunity to do Li Junsheng a favor!
If I just side with him a little, he'll be incredibly touched!
Thinking this way, Ma Yulian betrayed her own family and sold Ma Weidong out.
"Dongzi, what nonsense are you talking about? Li Junsheng never borrowed money from you. That three hundred yuan of yours was originally money I lent to my family, and it's part of what you should pay back."
"It's really wrong of you to cause trouble like this. You should apologize to your brother-in-law right now. We're still family, so we won't pursue this matter!"
Ma Yulian gave Ma Weidong a meaningful look, signaling him to temporarily yield to Li Jun.
My younger brother is so clueless. Doesn't he see that Li Junsheng now owns such a big restaurant?
Once you appease him, you can have any amount of money you want!
Ma Yulian's words to Li Junsheng were unexpected by her children, yet perfectly reasonable, as she clearly wanted to gain something from him.
Ma Yulian has no conscience. What's wrong with betraying her own brother?
The children felt sorry for Li Junsheng and became increasingly aware of the serious character flaws in Ma Yulian.
Seeing that Ma Yulian was helping Li Junsheng, Ma Weidong immediately broke his promise and was confirmed to have extorted money. He could face imprisonment!
Thinking of this, Ma Weidong's expression turned ferocious, and he directly cursed at Ma Yulian, "Ma Yulian, are you crazy? Do you know what will happen to me if you say that?"
"Li Junsheng won't let me off the hook, and he no longer treats me like his brother-in-law. You're as stupid as a pig! Even at a time like this, you're still thinking about remarrying him?"
"Don't forget you cheated on him and conspired with others to sabotage his job. How could he possibly remarry you? Tell the police the truth!"
