Si Xu was very busy and originally planned to come back in the evening, but after talking to Lin Jiu on the phone, he could no longer wait until the evening.
Si Xu took time out of his schedule to come by at noon. The restaurant was full of diners and Lin Jiu was busy, so he had no time to entertain him. Si Xu stood in front of the bar to accompany him.
It was not until Lin Jiu finished his work and the two of them took lunch upstairs that they had a chance to get close to each other for a moment.
Lin Jiu mentioned Song Mozhi again. Her legs were no longer a problem. Now the main thing was her body. Lin Jiu wanted to regulate her body.
Si Xu has too much money left with him, and he has to find a way to turn the money into sales for the store.
Ordinary people can eat magic meals and drink magic wine, as long as they keep a limit. Lin Jiu plans to prepare lunch and dinner for Song Mozhi. He doesn't need all the magic meals, just one ingredient will do.
Of course, this is not considered a magic meal and cannot be counted as part of the Chef God System tasks.
Si Xu thought for a moment, "Is the money enough? I'll transfer some more to you."
Lin Jiu was amused. "Please don't do that. I'm afraid that if this continues, all your liquid funds will go to my account."
Si Xu raised his eyebrows, "Everything I have is yours, you can put it wherever you want."
Lin Jiu refused resolutely, "I'll ask you for it again after I've used it up."
Si Xu had no choice but to agree.
He knew that Lin Jiu wouldn't ask for anything, so he would have to transfer the money to him after some time.
Si Xu arranged for the family driver to come to the Magic Fish Shop to pick up meals at noon and in the evening, just like he had asked his assistant to pick up meals in the past.
During this period, if Song Mozhi goes out less often, the chance of encountering danger will be greatly reduced. By the time she can go out again, those who want to harm her may not have the strength to do so.
The two of them hadn't finished their lunch yet when they heard a commotion downstairs and someone yelling and cursing.
Lin Jiu stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
As soon as I got downstairs, I saw a man sitting in front of the store, holding a dark bottle in his hand, sitting on the ground crying and cursing.
"Dad, look at what you have adopted. He has made our whole family have no way to survive! Dad, you are going to be extinct. Our Lin family will be driven to death by him! We can't survive!"
Lin Han came over and said, "Boss, he has a bottle of pesticide in his hand. Anyone who gets close to him will drink the pesticide and die here. What should we do?"
Lin Jiu's face was still ugly. He walked over quickly, "Lin Hai! If you want to die, go die outside! Don't dirty my place!"
As soon as Lin Hai saw Lin Jiu coming, the hatred in his eyes almost solidified.
"Go to hell!" He threw the bottle at Lin Jiu with all his strength!
Lin Han, who was following Lin Jiu, subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it, but the bottle stopped floating half a meter away from them, and the transparent liquid in the bottle poured down.
Lin Hai's face changed, he took out another small bottle from his pocket, and hurriedly tried to pull out the cork, but Lin Han and Chang Beimu had already rushed over.
Seeing that it was too late, Lin Hai simply threw a bottle at the guests at the nearest table. The flying glass bottle suddenly turned and hit Lin Hai's arms, with the bottle mouth facing downwards, and all of it fell onto his clothes and pants.
Lin Hai screamed "Ah!" and wanted to jump up, but he and the bottle crashed through the glass door and flew out.
The diners saw Lin Hai hurriedly jump up from the ground, quickly stripping off his clothes and pants, and jumping barefoot on the street in his shorts and a warm coat in the cold weather.
"Hongcheng! Hongcheng, come quickly! Burn them to death! Burn them to death!!!"
Lin Hongcheng rushed out from the side, poured a basin of liquid towards the door of the Magic Fish Shop, lit a lighter, and threw it at the liquid.
Liquids ignite when they come into contact with fire. They actually burn.
Lin Han pushed the door open and chased out, knocking down Lin Hongcheng who was trying to run away.
Chang Beimu turned around to get the fire extinguisher, but Sister Wen had already run over with two fire extinguishers. The two of them ran outside and sprayed the fire at the store door. Fortunately, the fire was not big and was quickly put out.
The diners were terribly frightened, but fortunately no one was injured and the fire did not start.
Lin Hai jumped up and down and cursed. Chang Beimu kicked him down and then twisted him and pressed him to the ground.
"Lin Jiu, you are worse than a beast! That old man is too partial! He leaves all the good things for you! He teaches you cooking! He leaves the money for you! Who do you think you are! I am his biological son! Hongcheng is his biological grandson! Who do you think you are!!!!"
Lin Jiu didn't expect that they would be so crazy.
Speaking of cooking, Lin Jiu did learn a little from Grandpa Lin, but Lin Jiu's skills in opening a restaurant came from the Kitchen God System.
His expression was hidden behind the mask, and no one knew what his mood was.
Lin Jiu said, "I don't deny your cooking skills, but I don't acknowledge your claim that Grandpa Lin left me money. When I left the Lin family, I took nothing with me, let alone money. You occupied the house, and all of Grandpa Lin's things were taken away by you. What else do you want?"
Lin Hai screamed, "Bah! You said you didn't take it away, so you didn't take it away?! That old man left you 500,000 yuan when he died! This is what I saw. How much money did he give you in places I didn't see?!"
This is simply impossible. In his last days, Grandpa Lin didn't even go to the hospital to save money. There was no hope of recovery, and he didn't want to waste any more money.
Lin Hai spat, "Nothing to say, right?! That old man put the card in the drawer and left you a letter, saying that the money on the card is enough for you to study until graduation, and if you save a little, it will be enough for a down payment in the future! Look, look! That old man has planned everything for you, what did he give us?!"
Lin Jiu was stunned. He didn't see the card or the letter.
Lin Jiu asked anxiously: "Where is the letter?"
"I'll tear it apart! I'm his biological son, all his money should be left to me! Tell me yourself, how much money did that old man give you?!" Lin Hai's face was distorted.
Lin Jiu was extremely angry.
Si Xu suddenly said, "Where is that card?"
Lin Hai yelled, "Hongcheng! Show him the card!"
Lin Hongcheng was pinned to the ground and couldn't move. "It's stuck in my pocket!"
Lin Han rummaged through his pockets and found the badly worn card. Jiang Xiwen took it and handed it to Si Xu.
Si Xu frowned after just one look, "Where's the money in Kali?"
"I spent it! This is my father's money! It's only natural for me to spend my father's money!" Lin Hai said confidently.
"I kept the card until now just to guard against this ungrateful bastard! See, I really predicted it!"
Si Xu said: "Did you cancel this card?"
"What's wrong with me canceling it?!" Lin Hai didn't notice why Si Xu knew that the card was cancelled.
Si Xu held the card in his hand. "Nothing much. I just wanted to tell you that if you hadn't been in a hurry to cancel the card, 10,000 yuan would have been deposited into the card on time every month. You cancelled it too early."
Lin Hai was confused, "W-what do you mean?"
Lin Jiu looked at Si Xu in shock, as if he realized something.
Si Xu told Lin Hai, "The card belongs to your father, but the money is mine. This money is for Xiaojiu's tuition and living expenses. It's 10,000 yuan a month, and it's been transferred for more than four years, which is almost 500,000 yuan. It's right for your father to leave the money to Xiaojiu. This is originally his money, but you withheld it. Shouldn't you pay the money back to him?"
Lin Hai and Lin Hongcheng were both shocked!
Everyone else present was also shocked!
Lin Jiu looked at Si Xu in disbelief. Si Xu just held his hand without saying anything more.
Lin Hai went crazy and struggled desperately. Chang Beimu almost couldn't hold him down.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Is what you say the truth true?!"
Si Xu said calmly, "I know you don't believe me. I have kept all the remittance records from those years. You'd better contact your family to raise money. If you don't return the money to Xiaojiu, we can only go through legal procedures."
"You are talking nonsense! I am not afraid of you even if I take legal action!!!"
The police car arrived at this time and arrested Lin Hai and Lin Hongcheng. The police took photos on the scene to collect evidence. The clothes that Lin Hai threw on the ground had turned black where the liquid was spilled, and had big holes in several places.
The liquid in the bottle was confirmed to be concentrated sulfuric acid, and the liquid splashed at the store door was gasoline. This can be known without testing because the smell is too strong.
The police retrieved the surveillance video from the Magic Fish Shop and the evidence was conclusive.
Lin Hai and Lin Hongcheng attacked Lin Jiu in public, threw concentrated sulfuric acid at customers, and ordered their son to pour gasoline to burn the store. The personal safety of dozens of customers in the store was seriously threatened. The circumstances were extremely bad.
Lin Hai and Lin Hongcheng didn't seem to be afraid at all. When they were taken away, they were still shouting, "Lin Jiu, just wait! I will come out the same way I went in! What can you do to me? As long as I am alive, I will kill you sooner or later!"
Everyone at the scene was shocked, and they were discussing whether this man was crazy. How dare he be so arrogant in front of the police? Did he think that the police station was owned by his family, so he could come and go as he pleased
Lin Jiu didn't have time to deal with Lin Hai's crazy talk. He left the scene to Sister Wen, Lin Han and Chang Beimu, and pulled Si Xu upstairs. He wanted to find out what was going on.
Si Xu was helpless. If Lin Hai hadn't brought up this matter, he wouldn't have planned to say it.
After the blackmail incident that year, Si Xu secretly donated money to Grandpa Lin for the surgery. He knew that Grandpa Lin had a hard time living with little Lin Jiu, so he asked his agent to talk to Grandpa Lin, intending to provide monthly funding for little Lin Jiu's studies and life.
Si Xu was worried that little Lin Jiu would feel inferior after knowing this, so he didn't let Grandpa Lin mention the funding, as if nothing had happened. Si Xu asked his agent to transfer money to Grandpa Lin's card, 10,000 yuan a month, which was enough to live a good life in that remote county.
Si Xu had a very bad time that year. First he was blackmailed, and not long after that Song Mozhi got into trouble again. The situation was very bad. Si Xu devoted all his attention to his mother's illness and career, and the remittance to Lin Jiu was handled by his agent.
Later, when Si Xu remembered to ask about this matter, his agent told him that the card had been cancelled and he had not transferred any money to the card for several months.
Si Xu was very surprised and asked his agent why he didn't tell him about such a big thing
The agent was also surprised. He thought it was not a big deal. The cancellation of the card meant that the other party would not accept the funding. In addition, Si Xu was very busy at that time, and when he heard that his family was sick, the agent did not tell him.
Because of this incident, Si Xu no longer trusted his agent at the time. He asked someone to check on the agent and found out that the agent had hidden many things from him and made decisions for him. This was what Si Xu could not tolerate the most.
He fired that agent, and later Wen Qin became his new agent.
Si Xu sent people to Lin Jiu's hometown to check, and found out that the old street there had been demolished long ago, and Lin Jiu and Grandpa Lin were nowhere to be found.
Only then did Si Xu completely lose contact with Lin Jiu.
Si Xu didn't expect that Grandpa Lin was gone, nor did he expect that Grandpa Lin didn't tell Lin Jiu about the money until his death. He only left the card and the letter, which were taken away by Lin Hai. Lin Jiu got nothing at all.
Si Xu could almost imagine that even with his financial support, their lives would not improve much. Grandpa Lin saved all his money and intended to leave it to Lin Jiu, but such a mistake happened.
It was not until today that Lin Jiu knew about the existence of this money.
Lin Jiu's eyes were already red.
Si Xu pulled the person in and held him in his arms, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
Lin Jiu shook his head. Si Xu was right. He felt bad because they treated him like that, but Si Xu was still willing to secretly support him...
Si Xu patted him gently and said, "It's okay, don't cry."
Lin Jiu said sullenly: "I didn't cry..."
Si Xu hurriedly coaxed him, "Okay, I'm not crying, there's just sand in my eyes."
Lin Jiu was amused by him, and pushed him with red eyes, "If Lin Hai doesn't mention it, will you just pretend that it never happened?"
Si Xu: “…”
That's true.
Lin Jiu: "Do you know that I have been very insecure as your fan these years? I always thought you hated me and was afraid that you would know that I was that kid back then..."
Si Xu hugged the person in his arms again and coaxed him.
Lin Jiu thought of the system. It spent so much magic points to investigate, why didn’t it find out about this matter
I don't take the blame for this. You only said to restore the truth of that year, which is not included in the blackmail incident.
Lin Jiu: …
I'm sorry, I didn't express myself clearly.
There were still a lot of things downstairs that Lin Jiu needed to deal with, so Lin Jiu calmed down and went downstairs.
The diners hadn't left yet and the whole restaurant was filled with the smell of gasoline, making it impossible to eat.
Lin Jiu waived the bill for everyone.
If he didn't eat all the food, the system would definitely count it as waste and deduct his magic points.
Lin Jiu added: "I'm sorry to bother you all today. If you want to pack some, you can take it home to eat."
Special situations require special treatment. The environment in the store is so bad that it is impossible to stay there for long.
Since it’s free and can be taken away, diners are very happy.
Lin Jiu asked Lin Han and Chang Beimu to bring take-away boxes to the guests, and the cost of this meal would be charged to Lin Jiu's account.
After the guests left, Sister Wen urgently contacted professionals to clean the door and the floor so that dinner could be served normally.
There is no need for Si Xu's help here, so Lin Jiu asked him to focus on his own work first, and there is no problem here.
Si Xu was about to find out why Lin Hai and Lin Hongcheng dared to be so arrogant, so he left first.
After several hours of emergency repairs, dinner was served as normal.
The gasoline smell was removed by the Kitchen God System.
The news of the accident at Magic Fish Restaurant during lunch time was posted online and attracted widespread attention. This incident not only did not stop diners from coming for dinner, but instead attracted many people to come from far away to watch.
As long as the Magic Fish Shop continues to open, they will dare to come and eat.
What's so scary about them? Is Boss Lin's harpoon just for show?!
The people who came to watch had heard that the big guy who could make things float was also there. The diners at lunch saw it with their own eyes, and some even took videos. They all expressed on the social media platforms that their worldview was gone!
The public's demands to know the truth are so loud that the news on the Internet has not been removed. This is a statement.
The truth will definitely come out, but for some reasons, the time has not come yet.
Everyone is waiting, waiting for a truth that they can accept or not.
