Chapter 110
After Er Zhu called Chef Luo over, Luo Ge did the same, taking back all the items they had been in charge of.
"Do you have all the things you took here?"
Looking at the various keys she had recovered, Luo Ge noticed that both of their gazes were filled with reluctance and greed.
It felt as if they considered these things as their own possessions, and now they had been taken away from them.
And in fact, that's exactly how they felt. But they only felt that they were temporarily handing them over to Luo Ge for the time being, and these things would eventually return to their hands.
Even this restaurant.
Stolen by a rival restaurant? How could that be possible!
The money they could make here was much more than any salary a restaurant would offer them!
They would have to be idiots to do something like that.
For now, they were just cooperating with the other party, using their hands to claim First Class Pavilion as their own.
As Luo Ge asked the question, she turned to look outside and saw that Uncle Song had returned. The look in her eyes towards Lu Manager and the others had already turned cold.
"Yes, everything is here."
Hearing Luo Ge's words, Lu Manager still hadn't fully realized what was going on, thinking she was just asking about the things in front of her.
Upon hearing this, Luo Ge smiled and spoke again.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course." Seeing Luo Ge ask again, the two of them were a little puzzled.
But Luo Ge just smiled, and handed them two bags of silver.
"That's good then, this is the salary you two deserve. Take it, and if you have anything else to take away, you can pack that up too."
Looking at their anxious and eager expressions, she couldn't bear to watch anymore.
Hearing Luo Ge's words, Lu Manager was delighted and nodded.
"Okay, I'll go pack up then."
"I'll go make some arrangements too." Seeing Lu Manager leave, Chef Luo quickly followed behind.
Gu Jinchen quietly followed them and saw that as they passed an unnoticed corner, they discreetly exchanged the paper package.
He saw Chef Luo take the paper package into a small storeroom for storing rice and flour, and Gu Jinchen followed with his men.
After Lu Manager handed the items to his old partner, he pretended to go pack his things. When he returned to his room, Uncle Song and the constables immediately apprehended him.
Meanwhile, Chef Luo secretly entered the small storeroom he had previously opened.
Just as he was about to open a small hole in the flour sack and pour the contents of his package into it, Gu Jinchen and the constables quickly pinned him to the ground.
"You, what are you doing! Let me go!"
Seeing this situation, Chef Luo immediately panicked, having no idea this would happen.
The leading constable ignored his shouts and simply took the paper package he hadn't managed to open yet.
After carefully sniffing it, his expression darkened.
"Rat poison? You're truly vicious! We have the culprit and evidence, take him away!"
Having frequently handled cases involving poisoning, they were familiar with common poisons like rat poison, so they could easily identify it.
The package contained a substantial amount of powdered rat poison.
If mixed into flour, it would be completely undetectable. If food made from this flour ended up on customers' tables...
He didn't even want to imagine how many people could be harmed by such a sinister method.
Such a vicious way to harm others was truly evil and deserving of punishment!
Hearing the constable's words, Chef Luo panicked: "No, no! Have mercy, Your Honor! It wasn't my intention! Someone forced me to do it! Someone forced me!"
"Someone forced you? Then tell me, who forced you to commit such a harmful act?"
The constable had clearly seen this kind of thing many times before, typical cowardice. He hadn't even asked yet, and he was already confessing half of it.
He snorted coldly and asked with a mocking smile, "What, harming others wasn't enough, so you turned on your own brother?"
"It was... it was..."
"It was him! It was him!"
Flustered, he took some time but couldn't say who it was. Then, seeing Lu Manager who was also being restrained, he suddenly seemed to wake up and shouted.
Hearing this, Lu Manager's eyes widened in shock: "You liar, what are you saying!"
This idiot!
"It was him, this package was given to me by Lu Hongyun. I didn't know what it was! He made me do it all! It was him, Your Honor, arrest him, he did it all!"
People like them had never experienced such a situation before. Seeing so many constables and officials, he had already panicked completely.
In times of great adversity, everyone flies away, leaving his poor friend to die!
Moreover, he wasn't lying - this package really was given to him by Lu Manager.
