The people watching the excitement had different thoughts. Some were whispering, some were speaking out for the victim's family, some were just filming videos to get some attention online, and there were also some who were gloating.
Sun's Restaurant had been open in this location for less than five years, and business was booming. Despite its small size, its revenue rivaled that of nearby large restaurants. While most people were kind, there were still quite a few who envied and hated them.
Sun Aimin was not at the restaurant at the time, instead busy running to the police station and hospital. Since the video couldn't prove whether the deceased poisoned himself or was poisoned by someone else, the responsibility could only be temporarily attributed to Sun's Restaurant.
Now, Sun Aimin can only pin his hopes on the hospital. He strongly demands an autopsy on the deceased, but the deceased's family members are unreasonable and refuse to cooperate.
When the deceased's son saw Sun Aimin in the hospital, he was very excited and started punching Sun Aimin. Fortunately, Sun Aimin dodged in time and the punch was prevented from succeeding.
The deceased's son missed his target and lost his footing, falling forward and landing heavily on the ground. His head accidentally hit the wall, scraping a piece of skin and faintly bleeding. He was in a state of panic, and the pain in his head made him grimace.
He saw some patients and their families gathered around the commotion and immediately started wailing: "Dad, you died unjustly, killed by that Sun guy! If you are still alive in the underworld, come back to him to avenge your death..."
The hospital naturally wouldn't let this chaotic situation continue for too long. Soon, several doctors, nurses, and security personnel rushed over and forcibly pulled the man, who was lying on the ground and crying, to his feet.
"This is a hospital, please be quiet. If you have anything to say, go outside and don't affect the patients and our work," said a nurse.
After Sun Aimin and the deceased's son were "invited" to the door of the hospital, the deceased's son refused to give in and grabbed Sun Aimin's arm and refused to let him go.
"If you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about leaving. Let me tell you, we can't compete with you rich people, but we're not to be trifled with either."
Sun Aimin looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, who had stopped crying and no longer looked sad, and asked expressionlessly, "Tell me, what are your conditions?"
When the middle-aged man heard Sun Aimin's question, he stopped crying out for his deceased father. He immediately held up two fingers and said, "Two million. If you pay it willingly, this matter will be over. If you're reluctant, then you'll have to give up that golden egg restaurant and close it down. Don't even think about opening it again."
After hearing the conditions offered by the man opposite him, Sun Aimin had an expression of "As I expected".
Sun Aimin did not immediately agree to the other party's conditions. Instead, he asked, "How long do you think it will take for my restaurant to earn two million?"
When the man heard this, he felt his self-esteem was greatly insulted. How could a poor man like him with an annual income of 30,000 yuan guess how long it would take for that prosperous and well-known restaurant to make 2 million?
He felt that Sun Aimin was sincerely making fun of him, so he immediately became angry again: "Stop beating around the bush and just tell me whether you can give me the money or not."
Sun Aimin remained calm and continued to discuss, "How about this? Agree to our request for an autopsy. If the results confirm that it was the food that caused the problem, not only will the compensation you're asking for be paid immediately, but I'll also pay an additional 500,000 yuan as burial expenses for the old man."
Although the man was very tempted by the 500,000 yuan that Sun Aimin added, he was absolutely afraid to accept it. If he agreed, everything would be exposed, and then not only would he not get any money, he would probably end up in jail. Although life outside was hard, at least he had personal freedom!
At the same time, he repeatedly recalled his employer's instructions, asking him to make the matter as big as possible, preferably so that everyone would know about it and the Sun family would be unable to deal with it.
He brought out his signature move. A burly man in his forties with a beer belly sat down on the ground and slapped his thigh. "You unscrupulous, rich boss! You have such a vicious heart! My father was poisoned to death by your food, and you didn't let him go even after he died. Do you want him to be unable to reincarnate? Or are you afraid he'll come to your house in the middle of the night and take your lives?"
The man became more excited as he saw more and more people gathered at the hospital entrance to watch the excitement. He moved his butt forward, hugged Sun Aimin's thighs tightly, and shouted to the crowd: "Everyone come and see, this is the owner of Sun's Restaurant.
My father had a meal at their restaurant yesterday and immediately passed away. He died before he even got to the hospital. My father's death was so painful. He was only in his sixties, and he was gone just like that.
"These unscrupulous merchants not only refused to admit their guilt, but also opened my father's stomach for an examination. Everyone, please judge for yourself. Is this something a human being could do? Will anyone dare to eat at that shady place again? Their business is so booming, who knows if they've added something addictive..."
This statement caused an uproar. Some people have seen similar claims online, saying that a noodle vendor, in order to attract customers to his noodle shop regularly, added rice husks to the noodle soup, making it addictive and making people want to eat it all the time. Such a boss is really unscrupulous.
In the recent reports about people dying after eating at Sun's Restaurant, some people also said that it might be because these banned seasonings were added to the food, causing the elderly man to have intolerance and die suddenly.
So when everyone heard the middle-aged man say that there was something fishy about Sun's Restaurant, regardless of how good its reputation was in the past, most people were skeptical.
Some onlookers believed everything they heard and directly convicted Sun Aimin. In anger, they threw the lunch boxes they had just bought for the hospitalized patients at Sun Aimin.
At this time, Sun Aimin was struggling with the middle-aged man sitting on the ground, trying to pull out her thigh that was being held, but she failed.
At this time, he kept his body tilted and pulled the man on the ground forward a step. The lunch box that had just been out of the pot for a few minutes hit the middle-aged man on the head. The scalded man howled and quickly loosened his hands holding Sun Aimin.
The man who smashed the lunch box realized he had gotten into trouble and took advantage of the chaos to slip away. Everyone was too busy watching the fun to think of stopping him.
The man was still feeling the pain from the abrasion on his head, and now he was burned. His face immediately turned red in a small area, and was stained with vegetable soup. He looked horrible.
