In her panic, Sister Wang looked up and saw Wang Qiang standing at the back of the crowd, leaning precariously as he watched the scene unfold. As if she had seen a savior, she rushed over and pulled him to her side.
"Qiangzi, tell these comrades, you bought all the ingredients through legitimate channels, didn't you? Qiangzi, say something!" Sister Wang's voice trailed off with a hint of pleading.
Wang Qiang was drunk, but he wasn't stupid. After listening to their conversation for so long, he probably knew what had happened.
Looking at the uniformed law enforcement officers in front of him, a thought popped into his mind—run!
That's what he thought, and that's what he did. He shook off Sister Wang's hand and ran straight out.
Unfortunately, he was apprehended by several law enforcement officers after only a few steps and was unable to move.
Seeing this, even the most obtuse person would know what was going on. Sister Wang's lips trembled, and her voice was filled with disbelief.
"Qiangzi, tell me, why? Qiangzi, why?! I give you enough money for the daily shopping, why are you doing this?!" As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, and her tone suddenly became agitated: "Qiangzi, do you think it's because your bad friends threatened you? They led you astray. You didn't want this at all, right? Right?"
After saying this, Sister Wang felt her legs were sore and weak, and she could not support herself to stand up at all.
She slowly, slowly, slowly sat down on the ground.
"Take him away." The middle-aged man sighed softly. If only he had known this would happen in the first place.
All employees of 21 restaurants, including Hao You Lai Fast Food Restaurant and Jia Jia Fast Food Restaurant, were transferred to a nearby detention center to await interrogation.
Liu Jia was frightened by the visit in the afternoon. Her previously dazed mind cleared up, and she had no reason to stay in the hospital. She was sent to the detention center by law enforcement officers.
As soon as she entered the detention center, she saw many familiar faces.
Old Liu, the owner of Hao You Lai fast food restaurant, his employees, the guys at his own restaurant, and that blond guy you often see at the construction site...
After looking everyone over, Liu Jia suddenly realized why she hadn't seen the two little brats selling boxed lunches at the construction site entrance!
They clearly also sourced their products from Anxin Food Processing Company!
Why aren't they here now?!
If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have bothered getting boxed meals specifically for the workers! I wouldn't have gone to the wholesale market! I wouldn't have run into the people from Anxin Food Processing Company! I wouldn't have bought expired food! And I wouldn't be in this predicament now!
Thinking of this, she became enraged, grabbed the iron bars and shook them violently, shouting loudly at the law enforcement officers outside: "Where are those two brats selling boxed lunches at the construction site gate! Why aren't they here!"
"Those two brats?" The law enforcement officer was startled by the sudden shout and asked instinctively.
After the words were spoken, they realized that everyone who needed to be caught had already been caught; how could there possibly be any survivors?
"The little stall selling boxed lunches at the entrance of the construction site is run by two brats. I asked them, and the owner said they also buy their food from there!" Liu Jia's voice was sharp and carried a strange excitement.
"Everyone who was supposed to come in has come in. Those who aren't here have no problem." The law enforcement officer said this and returned to his post.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jia froze, her hand gripping the iron railing slowly loosened and slipped down, her face filled with confusion.
"Impossible! The owner of Anxin Food Processing Company said it himself; they also source their goods from here!"
"He couldn't have lied to me, he couldn't have lied to me, you're the one lying!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"You're all liars, you're all liars!"
