Chapter 1806: Unlucky Heiress (74)

Hearing that, Chen Xian quickly said with a smile, “It's not far from the company. If Little Tao delivers it downstairs, it'll be very convenient for you to come down and pick it up.”

Both he and Zhao Wen thought very highly of Tao Yu. He was young, accomplished, and wholeheartedly devoted to their daughter.

After finishing their snacks, Tang Guo and Tao Yu greeted the couple and Tang Yi before leaving.

Because Tang Yi had approached the couple while carrying that evil object, the system had already begun monitoring the entire shop.

Tang Guo knew exactly how many times Tang Yi visited the snack shop each day. For half a month straight, Tang Yi came at least once every day.

After sitting down, she would chat with Zhao Wen. Because of Tang Yi's deliberate efforts, the two gradually became more familiar with each other, and their conversations were generally pleasant.

Based on Tang Yi's current behavior, Zhao Wen even thought she seemed like a rather nice young girl.

What she didn't know was that every time Tang Yi returned after getting close to her, she would lock herself inside the bathroom, take out the lucky charm, and ask whether its energy had been replenished.

If the lucky charm still displayed “Energy insufficient,” she would continue approaching Zhao Wen until the answer changed to “Energy sufficient.”

In truth, she had no idea what the lucky charm absorbed to replenish its energy. She had never asked, nor did she want to.

Or rather, she was afraid to ask.

Deep down, she feared that this thing was doing something evil.

But she herself wasn't aware of that. Every time, she comforted herself by thinking that she hadn't done anything bad to Chen Xian and Zhao Wen. She had merely chatted with them.

As long as she maintained this kind of distant contact, no matter what happened to the couple, it wouldn't have anything to do with her.

Tang Guo had already guessed Tang Yi's thoughts.

When people wanted to take advantage of something, they always needed to find a reason that convinced themselves they weren't hurting anyone and hadn't done anything wrong.

A few more days passed when the system's voice suddenly rang out.

【Host, something's happened at the snack shop.】

“What happened?”

Tang Guo was currently at the company. By now, she was already one of the company's core members and had her own office.

Hearing the system's words, she wasn't nervous at all.

Ever since the snack shop had become wildly popular, she had already anticipated that problems would arise one day. She simply hadn't expected it to hold out for this long.

【Someone reported your parents, claiming they've been adding addictive substances to the food, which is why customers keep coming back for more and can't stop eating it.】

Tang Guo wasn't surprised in the slightest.

Normally, when people reported snack shops, it was always for reasons like these.

“Anything else?”

【They also accused the shop of poor hygiene and using substandard ingredients. They claimed the meat was spoiled and rotten, among other things. Anyway, all the accusations revolve around hygiene and ingredients. Right now, there are several people inside who were clearly sent specifically to target the shop. I monitored them secretly placing scraps of rotten meat into bowls and dishes to frame the owners.】

【Host, your parents look completely calm. They aren't panicking at all. They seem very confident.】

Tang Guo couldn't help laughing.

“They're probably thanking themselves for letting me install surveillance cameras in the shop back then.”

“Let's go. Something this big deserves a visit.”

By the time Tang Guo arrived, many people had already gathered outside. The Food Administration officials had just arrived as well.

The few men seated inside the shop, who appeared to be ordinary customers, immediately burst into an uproar when they saw the officials.

They loudly claimed that they had eaten meat with a strange odor, that the shop was unsanitary and improperly managed, and that with business being so unbelievably good, perhaps some addictive ingredients had indeed been added to the food.
