56 Trouble

1 week had passed since Wang Ming opened the restaurant. The restaurant had done better and better for every single day which passed. More and more reporters came to his restaurant every day to get interview him. There were also people coming every day with stacks of money or checks wanting to buy his recipe. Wang Ming just declined them politely and kept on working.

After only 1 week, Wang Ming had made over 700 thousand yuan, which was an insane number for him. He had never had more than a few thousand yuan to his name before all of this happened. The number of pork belly he sold increased from 100 to 200 then 500 pounds. He didn't have the capability to cook any more than that, since he was only one person. So he also increased the price thinking that fewer people would come and eat, but they still kept coming.

Though he had gotten better with timing the meat. Which meant that Wang Ming could also do some light sleeping while waiting for the meat to tenderize. But he could at most only sleep for about an hour in the 8 hour span. Wang Ming would do roughly 5-10 minute power naps between every check.

Today everything should have gone the same way. Wang Ming had cooked the meat like he did every day. But then life came crashing down fast. It first started off with his customers getting food poisoning.

Wang Ming didn't know how this was possible, since he had cooked the food like always. But seeing most of his customers puke up the food Wang Ming realized something bad had happened. Examining his food, the kitchen and all the ingredients he had used, Wang Ming couldn't see anything wrong. He even tasted everything and found nothing wrong but that was when he remembered.

This time when Wang Ming got the meat from Weng Ping. He had seen that there were small needle holes on the fat on some pieces of meat. He didn't think so much about it first, since it wasn't too unusual and the holes were tiny, if Wang Ming didn't have good eyes he wouldn't have spotted it. Taking one of the meat pieces that had needle holes on them, he took a little bite to taste. When the meat hit his tongue, Wang Ming could instantly taste an odd flavor. '

It seemed like someone had injected something in to the meat. Wang Ming couldn't help but facepalm, how could he have not checked the food and the meat. He had become too complacent and thought that everything would be ok. Too confident in his food that he didn't bother to quality check anymore. This was a big wake-up call for him.

He didn't know specifically what it was, but it were definitely something harmful. As soon as the substance dissolved on his tongue, he could feel his body react to it. By getting hotter, his body was heating and using more energy to fight the poison, since it wasn't a lethal poison and he only tried a bit. There weren't any major consequences, but for the customers that took a bite of the meat, they would need to get to the ambulance immediately.

Calling the ambulance in a hurry, Wang Ming dispersed all the other customers that were there. Promising them that he would figure out what happened and give them all free food if they came next time. Many of the customers were angry and curious, but seeing Wang Ming so sincere, they trusted him and agreed. Telling Louzheng to escort them all out and disperse the people outside. Wang Ming then went to check on the customers, they didn't seem to be in a critical condition but they all were nauseous and had stomach pain.

While waiting for the ambulance, Wang Ming tried to soothe the customers with stomach pains. There were in total 5 persons, the worst part is that one of them were a little kid, which had come with his parents. Talking with the little guy, Wang Ming found out that his name is Zhu Hang. Since Zhu Hang is a little boy, Wang Ming prioritized talking with him and soothing him. Zhu Hang's parents didn't want Wang Ming to interact with Zhu Hang since they blamed him for it. But seeing how sincere he was, and Zhu Hang seemed to be in less pain when talking with Wang Ming, they turned a blind eye. The other customers wanted to say something but seeing the pale face of Zhu Hang, they just let it be.

Wang Ming also got to know about Zhu Hang's parents while talking with him. They're called Zhu Hong and Zhu Meng. Though his parents still didn't want to talk with him, seeing this Wang Ming just kept talking with Zhu Hang and entertaining him.

Finally, after 10 minutes the ambulance arrived. Seeing the ambulance arrive, Louzheng opened the restaurant door and screamed at the ambulance. Louzheng felt worried for Wang Ming and afraid of losing this job. After working here for a week, Louzheng found out that he really enjoyed working with food and service.

Also, he liked to work with Wang Ming, since Wang Ming is the nicest boss he has ever had. Wang Ming had helped him so much, Louzheng had also seen how Wang Ming prepared food and how much work and effort he had put in making the food. Louzheng didn't believe that Wang Ming had anything to do with this, so he would help and stand by Wang Ming all the way.

Seeing the ambulance stop and the staff coming out, Louzheng instantly guided them inside the restaurant and to Wang Ming.

Looking at the paramedics who arrived, Wang Ming felt better. Seeing them act professionally and fast, Wang Ming felt even more at ease. Though one paramedic behaved odd, he didn't help the other paramedics but were looking around and specifically at the decorative knives. Feeling suspicious of his behavior, Wang Ming took the knives and put it in his backpack and carried it with him. Seeing that the other paramedics had taken the people on the floor and carried them to the ambulance.

Wang Ming followed them also, since it was his fault that this happened. He would have to explain to their families what had transpired and most likely also pay for their hospital fees. Though the five victims, seems like they all come from rich families, so it's most likely unnecessary, but since it happened at his restaurant. Wang Ming felt obliged to do it.

Before going with the ambulance, Wang Ming told Louzheng to clean up the place and close it down for now. He would need to see and talk with the victim's families and find out about what had happened.

Waving, towards Louzheng, the ambulance then started driving. But what Wang Ming didn't know is that this will be one of the biggest regrets in his life.

Seeing Wang Ming depart, Louzheng then walked back into the restaurant to clean up the restaurant and throw out the food. But when he came back into the restaurant, he saw the paramedic that didn't help the others still was in the restaurant. He was talking on the phone, but Louzheng couldn't hear what he said so Louzheng walked closer not to eavesdrop but to tell him to get out of the restaurant. But coming closer he could finally hear what the paramedic said. Which shocked him to the core, Louzheng wanted to run away as fast as he could.

But as he turned towards the door, Louzheng couldn't help but feel fear, sweat was dripping from his face. At the door stood over 15 men all of them wearing a black ghost mask, so Louzheng couldn't see their faces. They were all holding a baseball bat and had an aura around them that told Louzheng they weren't afraid to kill.

Seeing them Louzheng realized he didn't have anywhere to run, other than to the backdoor. Turning around, he hurriedly ran towards the paramedic ready to mow him down. But before Louzheng could mow him down, he felt himself flying in the air then crashing to the ground. The paramedic had taken a judo throw on him. Looking at the paramedic, Louzheng felt chills in his back, when looking at the paramedic's mocking face while he said.

"I'm Sorry, man. I didn't want to do anything to you. The enemy this time is Wang Ming only. But since you heard my phone call, then you can't go from here without a bit of pain. I will not kill you, but when I'm done with you, then you probably wish that you were."

Hearing, what he said Louzheng felt adrenaline pumping his body, the threat had worked. Louzheng's body was in full survival mode now. Since the paramedic had thrown Louzheng behind him, he was now closer to the backdoor. Louzheng bolted as fast as he could to the door, but once again before he could escape he felt himself being thrown to the ground.

This time he felt the pain in his whole body, looking up the once again saw the paramedic smiling at Louzheng's face.

"Looks like you need to learn a lesson. Boys get him then destroy this fucking restaurant."

The paramedic then took out the phone and called someone and said.

"Boss, I'm done here. Wang Ming got away. I had no chance to stop him since that person was on the ambulance. But I will thrash his restaurant and his assistant."

"You need not to worry, boss. I won't kill the assistant. I'm just sending Wang Ming a message. I know killing him would trigger a police investigation."

The voice from the phone then replied to the paramedic.

"Ok, good job. I will promote you for this."

Hearing his boss's words, the paramedic answered excited.

"Thank you, boss! I will do everything for you even die!"

Then waiting for his boss to disconnect the call, the paramedic said only two things then walked away with a cigarette in his hand.

"Boys beat the shit out of him but don't kill him, break both his kneecaps since he wanted to escape. I wanted to give this punishment to Wang Ming, but since he isn't here, his assistant has to take the punishment for him. Remember that he has to be unconscious before you walk away from here."
