Seeing Shen Mingzhu's eyes fall on her man, the proprietress explained with a smile.
The man didn't seem to be good at socializing. He just glanced at Shen Mingzhu and turned away.
Shen Mingzhu smiled at the proprietress and politely praised her cooking skills. Then she waited for her daughter to come out of the bathroom and went back to the restaurant.
After the proprietress served the dishes and went to the kitchen, Shen Mingzhu asked everyone else to eat first while she went outside to make a phone call.
Pei Ziheng offered to accompany her, and Shen Mingzhu did not refuse.
"Hello, who is this?"
"It's me."
Hearing Shen Mingzhu's voice, Pei Yang on the other end of the phone suddenly became happy, "Wife, why are you calling me at this time? Do you miss me?"
"Shao Pin, I have something serious to tell you."
Noticing Shen Mingzhu's seriousness, Pei Ziheng glanced over.
Pei Yang on the other end of the phone also stopped talking and said, "What's the matter? Take your time."
Shen Mingzhu hesitated for a moment and expressed her suspicion, "...That man should be Gao Hualiang. I met him before. He was a little fatter and darker than before, but I recognized him at first sight."
Hearing the name Gao Hualiang, Pei Ziheng looked towards the restaurant thoughtfully.
On the other end of the phone, Pei Yang was very nervous: "Wife, please don't be impulsive. Gao is a desperate criminal who can do anything. Think about the children and me. If something goes wrong with you, how will we survive..."
"Could you please stop talking nonsense?"
Being interrupted by Shen Mingzhu, Pei Yang had no choice but to say sternly, "Go back and continue eating, and try to delay the time. With Xiao Ma and the others here, he won't dare to do anything. I'll call Xiao Shen right away and let him handle the matter of catching the criminal."
This statement was exactly what Shen Mingzhu wanted.
Although she felt just, she was unwilling to risk the safety of herself and her children.
…
"Honey, is she good-looking?"
At the counter, Huang Chunyu teased with a sour look on her face when she saw Gao Hualiang staring at Shen Mingzhu who was talking on the phone across the street.
Seeing Shen Mingzhu hung up the phone and was about to come back, Gao Hualiang immediately turned around and went back to the kitchen, taking off his apron.
Huang Chunyu saw this and hurriedly followed him: "Oh, it was just a joke, I'm not angry at all, but you are. What's the matter? Do you still want to go on strike? There are still three dishes left to cook."
Gao Hualiang casually stuffed his untied apron into her arms and whispered, "You cook the rest of the dishes. I'll go pick up Junjun and go home to pack my luggage. Once they leave, come back immediately."
Seeing his serious expression, Huang Chunyu's heart sank. "What happened? Husband, please explain clearly."
Seeing Huang Chunyu's nervous expression, Gao Hualiang suddenly smiled in relief, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired, and I want to find a place to play for two days. Don't you want to go to Phuket?"
"You're going to go just like that?"
"Well, let's go today. Business has been bad recently, so closing the store for a few days won't hurt anything."
"All right."
Although she didn't understand, Huang Chunyu was still very happy at the thought of being able to go out and play.
Gao Hualiang left the hotel through the back door.
Like Shen Mingzhu, he recognized Shen Mingzhu at first sight.
After so many years, Shen Mingzhu's voice and appearance have basically not changed.
Although he was not sure whether Shen Mingzhu recognized him, his keen intuition about danger made him realize that they could not stay here any longer.
A few years ago, he and Huang Chunyu went through untold hardships to smuggle here.
Huang Chunyu gave birth to a son for him. He opened this shop, and the family of three lived a stable and happy life.
He and Huang Chunyu also planned to have another daughter to make a good family.
He couldn't bear to see such a good day ruined.
The reason why he didn't tell Huang Chunyu about Shen Mingzhu's identity was that he was worried that Huang Chunyu would be too nervous and reveal the truth.
…
"Son, this is delicious, eat more."
Pei Ziheng put a piece of braised pork ribs into Shen Mingzhu's bowl, "This pork ribs is very flavorful, please try it."
"good."
Everyone at the table watched the mother and son eat in silence.
"Sister-in-law, you're not full yet?" Ma Weilong couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Shen Mingzhu has always had a small appetite and could only eat a few bites, but today she was like a big eater. Those with big appetites put down their chopsticks, but she still kept eating and couldn't get enough.
Shen Mingzhu was also feeling miserable. She had already gone to the bathroom to induce vomiting once.
Shin Cheol-min was working with the Thai police to arrange a capture operation, so he asked her to delay until two o'clock.
"Sorry, I don't know why I have a very good appetite today, Yue..."
The atmosphere at the table was eerily silent.

Just as Shen Mingzhu was racking her brains to think of how to explain Yue's behavior just now, Pei Ziheng spoke up to help her out: "Mom, I admit defeat, we won't gamble anymore."
"Brother, what are you betting on with mom?" Pei Tang was curious.
"I made a bet with mom about who eats more. The loser will give the other person 10,000 yuan. Mom, I admit defeat. I'll ask Lin Fei to transfer the money to your account when we get back."
Shen Mingzhu silently praised her son's cleverness.
Ma Weilong and the others suddenly understood.
"Now that we're done eating, let's go, go back and pack up, and go to the airport later."
I glanced at my watch and it was fifteen minutes to two o'clock.
Shen Mingzhu covered her stomach and groaned, "No, no, I have to go to the bathroom. You guys sit for a while."
Watching Shen Mingzhu trotting to the bathroom, Ma Weilong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This is what happened. Ziheng, you should never make random bets with your mother again in the future. Don't let your body get damaged."
Pei Ziheng nodded, "Well, it's my fault."
Seeing that he readily admitted his mistake, Ma Weilong didn't say anything more and changed the subject.
We hadn't chatted for a few minutes when a group of police suddenly showed up outside the hotel.
Due to economic constraints, the local police force is somewhat backward. The police ride on motorcycles with sidecars and seats on the side, which make a lot of rumbling noise.
Before the motorcycle came to a complete stop, the policemen sitting in the bed and the back seat jumped off and rushed into the hotel.
If they weren't wearing police uniforms, they would have thought it was a robbery! Ma Weilong and his friends became nervous, after all, they were the only guests at the restaurant.
It's just a meal, you won't go to jail, right?
…
After Gao Hualiang left, Huang Chunyu became uneasy and her eyelids kept twitching. She always felt that something big was going to happen.
When she saw the police rushing into the store, she was stunned for only two seconds and then reacted very quickly and ran to the kitchen.
There is a secret door in the kitchen that you can use to leave directly.
Just as he was about to run to the kitchen door, the bathroom door opened and Shen Mingzhu walked out.
“Get lost!”
Huang Chunyu reached out and pushed Shen Mingzhu viciously.
Shen Mingzhu has practiced Taekwondo, grappling and fighting. Although she is not as good as a professional martial artist, she is more than capable of protecting herself.
She dodged Huang Chunyu's attack by moving sideways, and then pinned Huang Chunyu to the ground with a grappling move.
…
Before being taken away by the police, Huang Chunyu stared at Shen Mingzhu with despair and unwillingness.
"Who are you?"
She and Gao Hualiang had been living in peace for so many years, and considering Gao Hualiang's previous abnormal behavior, it was not difficult to guess that they had fallen into Shen Mingzhu's hands. (End of this chapter)
