Chapter 677 The Government Arrests People
Xinglong Restaurant.
The officers and soldiers surrounded the restaurant.
This is the second time in half a month that soldiers have come to search Xinglong Restaurant.
This time, they even intend to take people with them!
Liang Pengfei showed the arrest warrant in his hand to Zhu Chengye, "Boss Zhu, please cooperate!"
Zhu Chengye looked at the name Erpang written inside, raised his hand in a salute, and asked, "Lord Liang, do you know what crime Erpang has committed?"
“He is related to a case we are currently investigating, so we need to bring him back for further investigation!” Liang Pengfei said coldly.
Although he appeared indifferent, his attitude towards Zhu Chengye was not bad.
If it were anyone else asking, they would have been scolded by Liang Pengfei and kicked out of the restaurant long ago!
Zhu Chengye nodded and turned to the waiter beside him, saying, "Go and fetch Erpang!"
"Please call Boss Wan over as well!" Liang Pengfei replied.
Zhu Chengye was taken aback.
He stared at Liang Pengfei in astonishment, seemingly not quite understanding what was going on.
Liang Pengfei explained, "Boss Wan is also involved in this matter and needs to be brought back with him!"
There was little discussion about Erpang being taken away, as many guests did not know who Erpang was.
But everyone who comes to Xinglong Restaurant knows the name Wan Qiqi.
At this time, the owner of Xinglong Restaurant has been taken away, which makes people wonder if it is related to Magistrate Fang.
As everyone knows, Wan Qiqi is on good terms with Fang Luxue, the daughter of Lord Fang.
Xinglong Restaurant's current success is undoubtedly due in part to the support of Master Fang.
Now that Lord Fang has been detained and the government is coming to arrest Wan Qiqi, Xinglong Restaurant is probably in grave danger!
The surrounding chatter continued, but the person Liang Pengfei was looking for never appeared.
Zhu Chengye was getting anxious.
He wanted to know what Wan Qiqi was hiding from him, and why Liang Pengfei had come to arrest her.
But he also knew that the more people came, the less chance he would have to ask.
"Let me in. I am Wan Qiqi, the owner of this restaurant!"
Voices could be heard coming from outside the restaurant.
Everyone in the hall looked towards the restaurant entrance.
A graceful figure in cyan robes slowly awoke, composed and unhurried.
She stopped beside Liang Pengfei and bowed respectfully. "Lord Liang, I heard you were looking for me and Erpang!"
As Wan Qiqi spoke, she looked at Erpang beside her.
Erpang was not as composed as Wan Qiqi; his face was slightly pale, and his arms were trembling.
Seeing this, Wan Qiqi gently patted Erpang's back and comforted him, "It's alright!"
When she learned that Liang Pengfei had brought his men, she had already guessed what Liang Pengfei's goal was.
On the way, Wan Qiqi and Erpang had talked about it, and Erpang knew exactly what to say.
“Okay…” Erpang replied, glancing up at Liang Pengfei before immediately lowering his head again.
He thought Liang Pengfei looked really fierce!
He dared not look Liang Pengfei in the eye, afraid that the other man would see right through him.
But Wan Qiqi looked directly into Liang Pengfei's eyes and smiled, "Can I give you a few words of advice before I leave?"
Liang Pengfei hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, but not alone!"
Wan Qiqi had no objections.
He walked past Liang Pengfei to Zhu Chengye's side. "There should be a follow-up to what I told you about the cold drink shop. Please help me negotiate! If the other party has any problems, tell them to wait for me to come out..."
Wan Qiqi and Zhu Chengye only gave each other business advice, nothing else.
Liang Pengfei felt something was amiss after hearing this.
Before we came, Master Xie warned us to be careful of Wan Qiqi's tricks and to leave Wu Gousheng outside to do tampering.
But he didn't see Wu Gousheng; all he heard were things about the Xinglong Restaurant business.
Could it be that Wan Qiqi really has no other plans?
"That's about it. We can discuss the rest when I get back!"
After Wan Qiqi finished speaking, she turned to Liang Pengfei and smiled, "Can we walk by ourselves? I'm not used to being carried around!"
Liang Pengfei nodded in agreement.
Wan Qiqi and Erpang were taken away, and the soldiers withdrew, leaving Xinglong Restaurant still silent.
After a long pause, Zhu Chengye bowed to everyone and announced loudly, "Everyone has been frightened today, so all the food and drinks will be 20% off!"
As soon as the words were spoken, someone said "good," and the lively atmosphere gradually returned.
But the discussion gradually shifted from the government to Xinglong Restaurant, and then to Wan Qiqi and Wan Ziyan.
Opinions varied widely, with everyone having their own perspectives and endless speculations.
The government hasn't released its findings yet, but we've already sorted out the follow-up matters thoroughly.
Zhu Chengye became increasingly agitated upon hearing the discussions.
He was going to find out from Wu Gousheng what the current situation was!
Before Zhu Chengye had even left the backyard of Xinglong Restaurant, a waiter came over from the front hall to say that a young master had arrived at Kelaiju!
Remembering Wan Qiqi's instructions, he gave up the idea of looking for Wu Gousheng and went to the lobby on the first floor.
In the lobby.
Aji looked around, his brows furrowed.
He had only been there for a short while when he heard a lot of discussion about Wan Qiqi.
Some even said that Wan Qiqi's background was questionable, suggesting that she might be Fang Ziming's illegitimate daughter.
Otherwise, how could he have made such a name for himself in Yunhe County?
Aji thought this was nonsense.
Are all the people from Daxing so gossipy, always talking about other people's faults?
After listening for a while, he felt that Xinglong Restaurant's management was not very good. What was the point of keeping such customers around? They should just be kicked out!
As she was thinking this, a man in his thirties appeared before her.
He looked him over for a moment, then stood up, placed his right hand on his left shoulder, and bowed respectfully. "This must be Boss Zhu, right?"
"Yes, may I ask your name?" Zhu Chengye knew who this person was, but didn't know how to address him.
"Just call me Aji!" Aji said, then asked, "I just heard that Boss Wan was taken away by the government officials?"
