Tonight, Li Li didn't come back again.
The criminal police team has been working non-stop for several days to investigate the restaurant arson case a few days ago.
Chen Feng sat cross-legged on the bed in the room. In his palm, a small, round and flawless bead like a pearl was circling.
"Sariras are treasures left behind by Buddhist monks after their death. They gather the essence of the monks' long-term cultivation and can be directly absorbed by cultivators to improve their cultivation." Chen Feng silently pondered his understanding of relics in his heart: "I didn't expect that the relics that were fought over in the cultivation world would appear in the possession of an ordinary girl in the secular world. Finally, by chance, they fell into my hands."
"It seems that this is all fate." Chen Feng sighed.
If Chen Feng didn't help Xiao Wu, he would naturally not get the relic, and Xiao Wu would always be implicated by the relic.
"Although this relic is not of high quality, it is a priceless treasure for my current cultivation." Chen Feng looked at the relic quietly and muttered to himself, "I wonder how much this relic can improve me."
While thinking, Chen Feng suddenly closed his right hand holding the relic, and a suction force was generated from his right hand.
"call-"
The relic suddenly emitted a faint white light, like a bright moon. Even though it was held in Chen Feng's fist, a few rays of white light shone through the gaps between his fingers and shone onto the wall of the room.
Although there were only a few needle-thin white lights, the entire room was brightly lit as if a fluorescent light was on.
The energy of the relic was very gentle, like streams of warm water, flowing slowly throughout Chen Feng's body, strengthening Chen Feng's body and true essence.
The second layer of condensation...
The third level of Condensation...
The fourth level of Condensation...
During the silent absorption, Chen Feng's power was undergoing earth-shaking changes.
…
"Old Wang, have you heard that the restaurant called 'Qianweilou' at the corner of the street opened today?"
"Yes, I heard about it a few days ago. However, I heard that the prices in that restaurant are very expensive. Most people can't afford it."
…
In the shops on this commercial street, people were talking in groups of three or five. They were all talking about the same topic: the opening of the restaurant at the corner of the street.
The opening of a restaurant is a very common thing. However, Qianweilou is really special, for no other reason than that the prices inside are ridiculously high.
In other restaurants, the prices of food and drinks can only be seen on the menu when you order, but Qianweilou is different. It has a rolling electronic screen directly on the eaves of the restaurant. On the electronic screen, the prices of dishes are clearly listed, making it easy to see at a glance.
Sautéed eggplant with soy sauce 50 yuan, pickled fish 300 yuan, tomato egg soup 80 yuan...
The names of ordinary dishes coupled with the extremely high prices kept scrolling on the electronic screen, which was really hard to accept. Many diners shook their heads and walked away when they saw the high prices.
So, even though it was lunch time, there was still no customer.
"Boss, is there really anyone willing to buy at such a high price?" In Qianweilou, Xiao Wu asked nervously as he looked at Chen Feng who was calm and composed.
At Chen Feng's request, Xiao Wu took on the role of cashier at Qianweilou.
After hearing what Xiao Wu said, Chen Feng just nodded slightly, and then said lightly: "Just wait and see."
"Oh." Xiao Wu agreed hesitantly and stopped talking.
However, since Xiao Wu didn't say anything, the other waiters couldn't sit still.
"Boss, should we lower the prices of the dishes? Otherwise, with prices like this, it would be better for customers to dine in star-rated hotels, which are much cheaper than here." A waiter suggested.
This waiter is a veteran of the restaurant. He has been working here for five or six years since the previous owner opened the restaurant. He has developed feelings for the restaurant and naturally does not want the restaurant to close down due to the owner's mistake.
"Haha, just wait and see, you will be busy soon." Chen Feng laughed and said confidently.
"Oh no, oh no!" Suddenly, a short-haired young man ran in in a panic and shouted to Chen Feng, "Boss, oh no, there are a lot of people outside."
"Changmao, don't panic. Take your time to talk." Chen Feng patted the young man on the shoulder and said calmly.
This young man was none other than the long-haired brother, named Han San. At the moment, he worked as a security guard in Chen Feng’s restaurant.
"Yes, Han San, isn't it great to have people coming to eat? Why do you look so flustered?" Xiao Wu at the cashier counter looked at Han San teasingly and said.
"They're not guests, they're gangsters!" As soon as Han San finished speaking, everyone else was stunned, and then a bad premonition followed.
Restaurant owners are not afraid of freeloaders, but they are afraid of hooligans. Freeloaders will at most lose a table of food. But if someone behaves like a hooligan, the restaurant will not be able to continue operating.
Looking at the nervous expressions of the others, Chen Feng laughed and said, "What's there to be afraid of about the underworld? Let's go out and take a look." After saying that, Chen Feng was the first to walk out of the hotel.
The others looked at each other and hurriedly chased after him. A few brave male waiters even picked up a few brooms behind the door in case of emergency.
Outside the hotel, there were about a hundred hooligans standing. Each of them was holding an iron rod. They didn't say a word. They just stood in the open space in front of the hotel, staring coldly at the electronic screen on the eaves of the hotel.
The gangsters were surrounded by a crowd of people, who were whispering to each other outside, looking like they were watching a good show.
They all wanted to see how this "black shop" that set the vegetable prices so high would deal with this conflict.
"Are you the boss here?" The leading thug pointed at Chen Feng who was walking out of the door with an iron rod, and shouted arrogantly: "This street is the territory of our Xiaodao Gang. Did you get the consent of our Xiaodao Gang to open a restaurant?"
Chen Feng laughed sarcastically: "I really didn't know this was the territory of your Xiaodao Gang."
“Hehehe!” The leader of the gang laughed fiercely: “From your tone, you look down on our Xiaodao Gang, right? Okay, brothers, smash it!”
After saying that, the gang leader rushed forward swinging the iron rod in his hand.
"Damn it, who dares!" Suddenly, a domineering shout came from the other end of the street. Immediately, the eager-to-try Xiaodao Gang thugs trembled in their hearts and stopped in their tracks.
After more than ten seconds, a group of sturdy men separated the crowd. There were about a hundred of them, with bulging muscles, strong backs and strong waists, and they came to the Xiaodao Gang's team with great momentum.
When this group of people stood in front of the Xiaodao Gang's team, they were like eagles standing in front of chicks, completely polarized.
Suddenly, the members of the Xiaodao Gang couldn't help but start to tremble.
"Is it you who wants to destroy this restaurant?" The domineering voice was getting closer and closer. In the blink of an eye, it walked to the leader of the Xiaodao Gang and slapped him: "This restaurant is protected by my Xinhe Gang. How dare you, a rascal like you, touch it?"
The thug was slapped by Ga Zi, and he covered his face. He stared at the tall man in front of him with some fear, and suddenly shouted: "You are the leader of the Xinhe Gang, Zhang Daga!"
