‘The manager robot said, “There were substances in the alcohol that caused the guests to be hospitalized.”
Zi Yi snorted. “Let them enter. I’ll come over right away.”
After that, she looked towards Dou Xiangling who had a worried expression on her face. “Tl be leaving first.”
Yiyi.” Dou Xiangling hastily pulled her back and subconsciously said, “Tl go with you.”
Zi Yi shook her head. “It’s only a small matter. I’ll be right back after I resolve it.”
“But…” She had overheard what the manager robot said. “Didn’t someone get hospitalized from drinking the alcohol at your bar? If this incident were to cause a huge commotion, it will affect your bar negatively.”
Speaking of this, Dou Xiangling thought for a moment and said, “Why don’t I give Yurui a call and get her to come over and settle this?” Zi Yi’s cousin Yurui works in forensics and so she could easily see if there was anything wrong with the alcohol.
“It’s useless. If my guess is right, those behind this incident must be that group of young masters and young ladies. I know clearly what they are planning to do. We can’t take the lawful method to deal with these people.”
She headed outside and said on the way, “Just stay in school with peace of mind. I’l give you a call after I’m done.”
Zi Yi was walking at a fast speed. Dou Xiangling thought for a moment and said, “Then I’ll wait for two hours. If you don’t call me back in two hours, I’l give Yurui a call.”
“Okay.”
As there were too many vehicles driving across the streets of the capital, even though it was snowing heavily today, there were no longer any traces of snow on the road.
However, it was different for the street near the bar.
As the majority of the bars would only open during the late afternoon, the thick layer of snow caused the entire street to appear white all over.
When Zi Yi’s car parked outside of her [Futuristic] Bar, the boss next door was standing there with his hands inside his sleeves and craning his neck to watch the bustling show.
‘When he saw a car stopping, he turned around and looked at it strangely.
As soon as he saw Zi Yi alighting from the car, his expression became a little strange. In the end, he gloated and looked at her when she got off and even deliberately spoke loudly in a sympathetic tone. Obviously, he was pretending, “Boss Zi, I heard that something happened to your bar. Someone was
hospitalized.”
Zi Yi gave him a cold glare and walked towards the bar.
The boss next door snorted when he saw Zi Yi walking past him with a cold expression.
“Td like to see how you can continue operations after such a huge incident happened in your bar!”
Ever since the [Futuristic] Bar opened for operation, all the rich and influential customers had been snatched away.
It could be said that all the bosses on the street were all looking forward to something bad happening to Zi Yi’s bar.
After Zi Yi made her way inside, she saw several individuals in uniform standing in a group with fierce expressions.
They did not seem to be people that were sent by the higher-ups, but instead some kind of organization that collected protection fees.
Seeing them, Zi Yi’s eyes gleamed slightly. She walked over and asked, “You said that someone was hospitalized after drinking alcohol in my bar? Who’s the person, where are they right now? Are there consumption records of their visit yesterday?”
‘When those people saw Zi Yi coming in, they were originally intending to give her a fright by taking the lead and questioning her. However, they did not expect that she would take the lead instead.
One of the individuals in uniform’s tone of voice sounded unfriendly. “The person that was hospitalized is called Zhang Si and the doctor has diagnosed that the alcohol contains high levels of hallucinogens. These types of hallucinogens can make a person hallucinate within two hours and ferment into a
type of toxin that causes one to have massive internal bleeding.”
Zi Yi seemed to have pondered for a moment before she praised the situation. “This type of poison is pretty good. To think that it can actually ferment! If that’s the case, the one that was poisoned must be feeling extremely unwell right now?”
“Miss Zi, how dare you say such sarcastic words here!”
All of them revealed anger at the same time.
“We will be sealing your bar for a search and investigation right now. You had better cooperate with us.”
“What are you going to search for?” Zi Yi looked at them and asked, “The Zhang Si you mentioned, was he really poisoned in my bar in the first place?”
“How could it be fake? Those who were hanging out in your bar with him last night can testify.”
“Is that so?” Zi Yi suddenly called out. “Manager.”
The manager robot immediately answered, “Master.”
“Pull out the video of that man named Zhang Si and his group of friends from last night.”
“Tunderstand, Master.”
As soon as the manager robot answered her and before those individuals in uniform had the chance to say anything, a holographic video of those people from last night was shown right in front of their eyes.
The holographic video began from when they alighted from their cars. The scene was so real as if those people were just right beside them.
Everyone looked at what exactly transpired after they came into the [Futuristic] Bar. The man named Zhang Si secretly poured a sachet of powder into his alcohol and Zi Yi coldly said, “Stop.”
The video stopped at the scene.
Zi Yi tumed her head to look at those individuals in uniform and asked, “Are you still intending to search my bar?”
They seemed to be greatly shocked by the holographic video where Zhang Si and his group entered the bar. When they heard Zi Yi asking them a question, their hearts shook at the same time.
One of the individuals said with a taut expression, “It’s our job to conduct a search today. No matter if he spiked the drink on his own or not, the shop still belongs to you and we have to do a check.”
Zi Yi narrowed her eyes in displeasure.
Just then, a voice sounded from the entrance. ‘Who gave you the authority to search this bar?”
Before even meeting the owner of the voice, the individuals I’m uniform were all intimidated by his voice.
The man who walked in gave off an extremely domineering aura, where they dared not even take a breath.
Lu Jingye’s eyes swept across them and he said to the bodyguards following behind him, “These people trespassed on private property to commit a robbery. Beat them up.”
As soon as they heard his words, their heart palpitated and they immediately returned to their senses.
One of them suppressed his heart palpitations and said in anger, “Second Young Master Lu, we are from the X Department. How dare you hit someone from the State Department!”
“From the State Department?” Lu Jingye’s voice was bone-chillingly cold. “I’ve already reported you to the police. When the head of the officers arrives, we’ll know if you are from the State Department or not. Right now… give them a beating!”
As soon as Lu Jingye said that, he made his way towards Zi Yi.
The several bodyguards behind him hastily made their way over. Without a second word, they immediately started beating those individuals in uniform.
Immediately, the bar echoed with bouts of punches, kicks, screams, and cries.
Zi Yi looked at Lu Jingye who was still giving off a slight chill with that pair of beautiful eyes of his. When he approached her, she pounced into his embrace.
Lu Jingye grabbed her and said, “Those people are actors that the group of young masters and young ladies hired to disguise themselves as people from the State Department.”
“Inoticed that.”
Zi Yi nodded her head in his embrace and said, “Yesterday those young masters and young ladies came here and asked to meet me. I didn’t meet with them and something happened to my bar the very next day. It’s obvious that they were the culprits.”
“Yes.” Lu Jingye released his grasp of her and said, “The head of the officers will be arriving very soon. When they arrive later, just say that these people are here to steal from your bar.”
“Okay.”
They did not have to wait for long and the head of the officers had arrived with a group of officers.
Zi Yi did not even have to talk and Lu Jingye had explained to them how these people came to the bar to steal.
“These people pretended to be from the State Department to make us lower our guard. After they entered, they immediately demanded to search the place. When we asked them to show the search warrant, they had unexpectedly used their weapons.”
After Lu Jingye’s bodyguards gave them a beating, they placed a knife in one of those individuals in uniform’s hands.
In addition, Ziyi had directly shown the video of what had just happened in the bar, which she had previously edited, to the officers.
Those people did not even have a chance to refute. After Zi Yi finished giving her account, they were all brought away..
