Chapter 182 Retribution
As soon as Liu Hui came out of the kitchen and arrived at the door of the store, he was stopped by a group of law enforcement officers in formal attire.
"Liu Hui, someone has reported that there are serious hygiene issues in your restaurant. A large number of diners suffered from vomiting and diarrhea after dining in your restaurant. Please ask you and your staff to go back with us for investigation." One of the leading security law enforcement officers said seriously.
"Impossible, police officer, I am a good citizen and have always done business with integrity." Liu Hui argued nervously.
"Whether there is a problem or not, just follow us back and we'll know after we investigate. The staff from the Health Bureau behind me will also handle it accordingly. If there is no problem with the hygiene here, we will naturally clear you of the charges." The law enforcement officer said in a serious tone.
Liu Hui watched as the law enforcement officers were about to take him away, and he suddenly panicked. If he was taken away, he would be finished. He knew that he had indeed been selling inferior products, purchasing low-quality, stale, and cheap ingredients to reduce his costs. This was why he had been able to maintain a profit at such low prices until now.
In panic, Liu Hui saw Yang Lekang, who was hiding among the health bureau staff behind the law enforcement officers. As if he had found a lifeline, he pushed through the crowd and rushed towards Yang Lekang, crying, "Uncle Yang, you have to save me! I've been doing everything Aunt Liu told me to do. You can't just leave me alone!"
Yang Lekang looked grimly at Liu Hui as he lunged at him. He hadn't intended to be there in the first place. Unfortunately, the sheer number of people affected by the food poisoning had drawn the attention of the leadership, so they had sent him, the Deputy Director of the Health Bureau, along with the staff to inspect the hygiene situation. He hadn't initially learned which restaurant it was, but upon arriving, he realized it was his nephew's. He had been standing at the back, trying to blend in with the crowd, but he'd still seen him.
"What are you supposed to do? The relevant personnel will investigate thoroughly. I won't show favoritism just because you're my nephew!" Yang Lekang said with a righteous and selfless expression, but in his heart he cursed him: "This idiot! Why did he rush over? Isn't this just telling everyone that we know each other? Then even if he wants to interfere, it will be difficult."
Liu Hui didn't care about anything else. He just thought Yang Lekang didn't care about him anymore and was going to demolish the bridge after crossing the river. He shouted angrily: "Yang Lekang, how dare you ignore me? If you didn't ask me to do this, why would I open a store?"
Yang Lekang pulled Liu Hui away and warned him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why does opening a shop have anything to do with me? I only heard your Aunt Liu say it once, and that's how I know."
"Haha, don't really think I don't know. If you hadn't told my Aunt Liu, why would she let me open a restaurant? She even asked me to specifically target Taochuanfang." Liu Hui now spoke crazily and recklessly.
He only knew that without them, he wouldn't have ended up in such a mess. He would still be working in the office, earning an ordinary salary, and wouldn't dare dream of getting rich. It was all because of them. If he had it, they wouldn't have it either.
Liu Hui now has the mentality of taking someone with him even if he dies.
Yang Lekang was so angry that his lips trembled and trembled.
After watching this spectacle, the leading law enforcement officer turned back to Yang Lekang and said expressionlessly, "It seems that Deputy Director Yang is no longer suitable to continue participating in the restaurant hygiene investigation. Please come back with us to the bureau to accept the investigation."
Yang Lekang immediately said in panic: "Director Hong, this really has nothing to do with me. I am being wronged."
"Whether it matters or not, I still say the same thing, go to the bureau first to be investigated. We will not wrongly accuse a criminal, nor will we let a bad guy go." Director Hong glanced at Yang Lekang indifferently.
This incident of food poisoning among employees involves a large number of people and has a significant impact. We have issued orders for thorough investigation and serious action. This kind of corruption has already occurred in private enterprises at the beginning of their trial operations, and we must crack down on it strictly and thoroughly eradicate it.
Moreover, Yang Lekang was one of the people who were ordered to be investigated by the higher-ups some time ago. This time, he was in the crossfire again. If he didn't take advantage of this situation to investigate, he would be letting himself down.
"Deputy Director Yang, please~" Director Hong made a gesture, inviting Yang Lekang to go back with them.
Then he turned to the law enforcement officers and health bureau staff and instructed them, "Check carefully and report the results immediately."
As they watched the law enforcement officers escorting Liu Hui, Lin Jie and others away and their figures gradually disappearing into the distance, the onlookers began to speak.
"No wonder, I had diarrhea after eating food from Shikefang before."
"Yeah, it seems like that's when the price started to drop."
"No wonder their dishes are so cheap, it turns out they're making money by cheating."
"You've really lost your conscience~"

Taochuanfang
"Sister Su, have you heard?" Xu Lele came over with a gossipy look on her face.
"You mean the owner of Shikefang was arrested and Shikefang closed down?" Su Tao said slowly while calculating the accounts.
How could she not know that on the day of the incident, many customers returning from Shikefang started talking about it in Taochuanfang.
"Yes, why are you not happy at all?" Xu Lele said with a pout. She thought that since the opponent had closed down, Su Tao should be very happy.
"I'm happy, but even without Shikefang, there will be all kinds of Shikefang in the future. After the market opens, the competition will only become more and more fierce. Only if we become strong can we remain invincible." Su Tao said confidently.
However, Su Tao was still quite surprised by the closure of Shi Ke Fang. It turned out that Shi Ke Fang's low prices were due to its solid foundation. He hadn't expected that it would be using inferior and cheap ingredients to make its dishes. No wonder it could stay below the market price for so long.
"Sister Su, everything you said is right." Ever since Su Tao led them to a victory, Xu Lele and others' admiration for Su Tao has reached its peak, to the point of blind worship.
Now she thinks everything Su Tao says is correct, and that what Sister Su says must be reasonable. She has successfully upgraded from a small fan girl to a die-hard fan girl.
Su Tao looked at Xu Lele's admiring eyes and smiled. Ever since Shikefang closed, most diners had returned to Taochuanfang. As if with a sense of conviction, many people chose Taochuanfang as their gourmet restaurant, believing it to be delicious, hygienic, and well-serviced.
It can be seen that Taochuanfang has now formed a certain brand effect, and people recognize its quality when they hear Taochuanfang.
