Wang Decai suppressed his anger and patted Chen Feng on the shoulder, "Brother, that's not because you're afraid of your wife. Giving me your entire monthly salary is because you love your wife."
After a few drinks, Chen Feng lost his usual timidity. The more he drank, the more intimate his words became, and he lost all restraint in his speech.
He didn't hold back in his sarcastic remarks.
"Give me a break! You say you love your wife? That bastard you kept in the east end of town has already given you two kids. If you love your wife, you'd be cheating on her with other women outside..."
Wang Decai's heart skipped a beat; nobody knew he was keeping a mistress.
When did this kid find out? How did he find out? What else does he know?
A series of questions churned in my mind.
Working as an accountant at Qingfeng Restaurant is quite lucrative. This guy knows about women's affairs. Could he have also discovered that he embezzled money?
If this gets out, Wu Shiren will definitely report it to the authorities.
Although he was very careful, the false accounts couldn't withstand close scrutiny! It seems this person cannot be allowed to live.
A fleeting, almost imperceptible ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, but it vanished in an instant. He chuckled and said, "Brother, don't talk nonsense. If my wife finds out, what will become of us? You just don't want me to have an easy time!"
Chen Feng shook his head and laughed drunkenly, "You treat me like a brother, how could I betray you? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Only heaven, earth, you, and I know about this."
Hearing him say that, Wang Decai really wanted to slap him across the face to wake him up. "You and I should know," he thought, "now everyone knows."
To avoid arousing Wu Shiren's suspicion, he quickly steered the conversation back on track, "Brother, stop with the nonsense. I'm just asking you, do you need my help?"
Emboldened by the alcohol, Chen Feng abandoned his usual humility and said, "Of course I'll use it, but do you have any money?"
“Yes, of course I have it. To tell you the truth, this money is all my personal savings. If you don’t believe me, ask the shopkeeper.” Wang Decai said, giving Wu Shiren a wink.
Wu Shiren nodded with a smile, "Yes, yes, Decai is absolutely right. He is indeed rich. He has hidden that hundred taels of silver under his pillow!"
"Oh dear, my shopkeeper, why did you say that out loud? As the saying goes, one should not flaunt one's wealth. If this is lost, I will make you pay for it."
"Don't worry, everyone here is family. Who would touch your little bit of private money?"
“You’re right, we’re all brothers, who would touch such a small amount of money?” Wang Decai said, glancing at Chen Feng and smiling maliciously. “Chen Feng, if you need money, I’ll get it for you in a bit, how about that?”
Chen Feng was already completely drunk and had lost all sense of reason. He thought his cooking skills were now superb, otherwise these people wouldn't have been so polite in inviting him to the table.
He has now been completely transformed and no longer has to live at the mercy of others.
Moreover, he didn't care about Wang Decai's hundred taels of silver at all. His sister could afford to build a three-courtyard house, and his family had plenty of money.
If he wanted, his sister could open a restaurant for him that was ten times bigger than this place.
He was a little smug, and refused with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, brother, but my family isn't short of money. You should just keep it!"
"Alright, since you're not short of money, we can talk about it later. Just ask, and the money is always ready for you. Come on, let's have a drink."
"Okay, let's drink."
As they talked, they downed a few glasses of wine.
Wu Shiren felt it wasn't quite right yet, so he gave the chefs a wink.
Zhao Tian, Wang Qi, and the others understood and quickly raised their glasses, saying, "Chen Feng, let's continue drinking."
Chen Feng covered his forehead and waved his hand, "No, no, no, I'm so dizzy, I can't drink anymore."
"No, you have to drink this glass of wine. If you don't, you're disrespecting me, Zhao Tian."
"Okay, okay, I'll drink it." Chen Feng, now showing his sincerity, picked up the glass and drank it down.
Wang Qi also came closer, "Chen Feng, let's have a drink together, brother."
"No, no, I really can't drink anymore. If I drink any more, I'll get really drunk. I feel like I can't even walk right now."
"What do you mean you can't drink? If you don't get drunk and I don't get drunk, who will sleep under the table?"
You take a sip, I'll take a sip, and after we finish, I'll help you walk. Is that alright?
“Yes, yes, count me in too.” Li Liu chimed in, “Chen Feng, you have a drink, I’ll have a drink, and then we’ll keep chatting.”
These people kept urging Chen Feng to drink, one cup after another, and before long, he was completely drunk, lying unconscious on the table.
Seeing this, Wu Shih-ren let out a satisfied, cold laugh.
"You shameless bastard, you refuse to take the path of righteousness and insist on seeking death. Today I'll show you what I, Wu Shiren, am capable of. De Cai, do as you just said. Let him suffer a bit first, and once we've squeezed some money out of him, we'll send him to the authorities."
Wang Decai stood up with a smile, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I guarantee it will be done flawlessly."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Tian, Wang Qi, and the others.
"Brothers, I'm sure the manager has already told you what's going to happen next. That kid Chen Feng is dishonest; he's learned all your signature dishes. If he were to go out and start his own business, we'd all be starving."
For the sake of the shopkeeper, and for our own livelihood, we must frame him today and send him to jail for the rest of his life.
This matter is known only to us brothers, so we all need to keep our mouths shut. If word gets out, it would be a crime of framing someone.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone expressed their opinions.
"Don't worry, Brother Wang, what kind of relationship do we have? You can't just say things like that."
"That's right, everyone here is an insider, who would say such a thing? Brother Wang, you're overthinking it."
"That's right, I've disliked Chen Feng for a long time. This is a good opportunity to teach him a lesson."
"Yes, let's give him a good beating first."
Wang Decai smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's get rid of this kid first, arrange everything properly, and then come back to continue drinking."
The group dragged Chen Feng back to his room like a dead dog, and after making all the necessary preparations, they began to eat and drink heartily...
The next morning,
Chen Feng slowly woke up from his sleep, feeling a splitting headache. He forced himself to sit up, rubbed his temples, and only then did his consciousness gradually return.
Recalling what happened yesterday, he couldn't help but frown, filled with regret.
That's shameless! How could you drink like that?
I don't even know how I got back, it's so embarrassing.
Just as he was putting on his shoes and getting out of bed, he heard a series of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard, followed by someone shouting.
"Search every room thoroughly. How dare they steal from my turf? They must have a death wish."
