Xie Xing paused slightly as he poured the tea, then smiled and said, "Manager Wan is a clever man; he suits my taste."
“But I don’t like Lord Xie. I feel like I’m being schemed against every day, and life is miserable.” Wan Qiqi stroked the rim of the teacup with her fingertips and said, “How does Lord Xie intend to interrogate us? Let’s begin! The sooner we clear our names, the better the restaurant can reopen.”
"Manager Wan, are you so confident that this wasn't done by someone from inside the restaurant?" Xie Xing took a sip of tea, speaking casually and nonchalantly.
“If this was done by the restaurant, Lord Xie shouldn’t have locked the person up here; he should have used torture instead.” Wan Qiqi tapped her finger lightly on the tea twice. “Lord Xie wouldn’t be sitting here drinking tea with me either.”
Xie Xing nodded, seemingly agreeing with Wan Qiqi's words, then raised his eyes and asked, "How do you explain the fact that the people you mentioned were wearing the restaurant's specific attire?"

Xie Xing's expression finally changed after hearing Wan Qiqi's words.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "That depends on how Manager Wan cooperates!"
Wan Qiqi grinned and said, "We ordinary people naturally cooperate with the government. How dare we go against the officials?"
She looked exceptionally innocent at that moment, as if she had an extraordinary trust in the government.
Xie Xing's gaze grew colder as he said, "Once the case is closed, Xinglong Restaurant can resume operations."
"Then I'll wait until I recover, and then I'll properly invite Lord Xie to try the wine in the shop."
