Chapter 1808: Unlucky Heiress (76)

Hearing Tang Yi's words, Chen Xian and Zhao Wen couldn't help but weigh them carefully in their minds. Was she speaking out of concern, or was it intentional?

So many people had appeared at once to accuse their snacks of having problems. Not long afterward, even the Food Administration had arrived. There was no such thing as that much coincidence.

Whoever had planned this had prepared far too thoroughly.

They even suspected that something might have already been done to the food inside.

If they inspected it now, there was no way nothing would be found.

“Mom, Dad, let's have them inspect everything first,” Tang Guo said as she pushed through the crowd and entered the shop. “We can talk about everything else afterward.”

The couple agreed. They opened all of the finished dishes prepared that day, as well as several bowls of seasonings, and let the inspectors examine them.

The Food Administration staff led people inside to conduct the inspection.

Not long afterward, they emerged carrying several problematic ingredients. They also pointed to one of the seasoning basins and said it contained substances that could cause addiction.

Everyone in the shop wore expressions of disbelief.

Those customers who had made the accusations smiled smugly, while the genuine patrons looked confused and stared at Zhao Wen and Chen Xian in puzzlement.

In their impressions, the couple simply weren't the sort of people who would do such things.

Even Tang Yi was somewhat unable to believe it.

“Uncle, Auntie, how could you…”

“Guoguo, did you know about this? Why didn't you persuade them? How could they do something like this?” Tang Yi wore a look of utter disappointment, which Tang Guo found somewhat amusing.

She finally understood how the evil object absorbed energy.

As long as Zhao Wen and Chen Xian suffered misfortune today and their shop was shut down, the evil object's energy would likely be replenished.

Its ability was to spread bad luck.

The more people suffered misfortune, the stronger it became.

At this moment, Zhao Wen and Chen Xian understood something.

Even if Tang Yi held no ill intentions toward them, she certainly wasn't wishing them well either.

A normal person standing on their side would never say such things at a time like this.

Having lived for more than half their lives, the faint trace of satisfaction hidden in the girl's eyes was far too obvious.

“We'd like to review the surveillance footage first and see what kind of truth it reveals,” Chen Xian said.

The Food Administration officers weren't unreasonable people.

In fact, they had inspected this shop before and found nothing wrong.

Yet today, problems had been discovered so easily that they themselves found it difficult to believe. They had eaten here before too. The food really was delicious. The vegetables were tender, the meat was smooth and succulent—it was rare to find such fine food.

More importantly, President Tao seemed rather fond of this place.

No, not fond of the place.

Fond of their daughter.

“I'll retrieve the footage.”

The surveillance cameras installed in the shop were merely for appearances.

What Tang Guo actually brought out was the crystal-clear recording captured by the system.

Those who had thought they had succeeded were stunned upon hearing that the shop had surveillance cameras.

Soon, Tang Guo took out a computer and quickly pulled up the footage from the relevant time period.

When everyone saw with their own eyes how, half a month earlier, a newly hired employee had secretly slipped something into the seasoning basin, their expressions varied.

Then they saw those customers secretly stuffing rotten meat into the dishes while pretending to take bites, and their expressions became indescribable.

The faces of those who had framed the shop turned white as paper.

They had been caught red-handed on camera.

Framing someone wasn't a trivial matter.

“Mom, Dad, call the police.”

“I suspect these people are carrying a large amount of dangerous substances. Things that threaten society like this absolutely must be eradicated.”

The troublemakers instantly went pale and hurriedly tried to flee.

Unexpectedly, several male students sitting at the neighboring table immediately tackled them to the ground.

One of the boys shouted furiously, “I've been eating at this snack shop since before it even opened! You little bastards almost got the place shut down and would've left me with nowhere to eat in the future. You're too evil!”
