Wan Qiqi dismissed the others, but Lei Zi refused to go home, insisting on staying with Wan Qiqi until everyone returned.
A moment later, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the restaurant.
"Careful...slow down...there are steps ahead, don't trip..."
Si Xi's voice came from outside.
His voice was slightly hoarse, even tinged with a sob, making one wonder what had happened to Tie Niu!
Wan Qiqi suddenly stood up from the chair, took a few quick steps, and then stopped abruptly.
She clenched her fist, her knuckles turning white, and clenched her back teeth tightly as she stared toward the doorway.
What went wrong?
Tang Qiwen or Pei Shi'an?
Or is there someone else?
Even though Wan Qiqi hadn't seen Tie Niu yet, she could already guess his current state from his voice.
She just couldn't understand who would bypass her and target the restaurant staff.
Lei Zi quickly jumped to the door and watched as Wu Gousheng and Erpang carried Tie Niu over.
At this moment, Tie Niu was already somewhat delirious, his eyes half-open, his eyeballs rolled upwards, revealing the whites of his eyes.
Immediately, the pungent smell of rancid water filled the air.
"Did he fall into the swill bucket?" Lei Zi exclaimed in surprise.
Even though he was used to working in the kitchen and had smelled all kinds of smells, he couldn't help but cover his nose and felt a slight nausea at the smell.
Wan Qiqi is no exception.
Her fingernails were even digging into her flesh, and her eyes were slightly red.
She disliked the smell, but didn't avoid it. Instead, she directed people to build a makeshift bed in the open space using long benches and planks, and let Tie Niu lie down.
The restaurant staff who returned later all had grim expressions; their eyes were wide with anger.
Si Xi's eyes reddened, and he stared intently through the window at the guests from all directions who had already closed their doors across the street.
Before Wan Qiqi could ask, Zhu Chengye had already arrived with Doctor Ge.
Doctor Ge was also bothered by the smell emanating from Tie Niu, but he didn't react as strongly as the others. He stepped forward to examine Tie Niu.
Wan Qiqi pulled Zhu Chengye aside and asked in a low voice, "Why did he get into this state?"
Zhu Chengye glanced back at Tie Niu and sighed softly, "When we found him, he was locked in a dilapidated house, which reeked of swill. He was lying on the ground..."
He said he couldn't bear to recall the scene.
If no one notices that Tie Niu is missing today, and they go to look for him tomorrow, he may already be gone!
Wan Qiqi's heart tightened upon hearing this.
Just then, Sixi gritted his teeth and said, "They must be people from all directions. They are too vicious!"
