The village beauty and me!

"What's all this noise? Is someone playing a recording to disgust me?" Ma Wanhao cursed and questioned, while looking at Chen Huan.

As a result, one of his men rushed in from outside in a panic.

He stammered, "Brother Hao, something terrible has happened! A huge swarm of rats has come outside."

"A dark mass, they're all rushing towards us."

Ma Wanhao glared at him. "What nonsense! What are rats doing here?"

"Look for yourself..." The subordinate pointed his hand outwards with a pitiful expression.

Before he could finish speaking, seven or eight large, fat rats of varying black and gray fur scrambled through the doorway and jumped into the hall.

Then, as if they had planned it beforehand, they kept circling around Ma Wanhao and his group, as if they were looking for something.

"I told you there were rats, but this person said I was framing him."

"Now what? You've given yourself away, haven't you?"

"The hygiene conditions in this restaurant are a bit poor. In broad daylight, these rats are like they're strolling through a market. How can anyone eat this stuff?" Chen Huan sighed in dismay.

The fat man also shouted loudly, "This hygiene is definitely substandard. Rats are the dirtiest things; they can carry all sorts of germs."

His shouting made the people eating even more uncomfortable.

Some people slammed down their chopsticks, overturned the table, and shouted curses, "You bastards, is this a restaurant?"

"There aren't even this many rats in a garbage dump."

"This is outrageous! Give me my money back?"

Ma Wanhao was furious. "We haven't even paid the bill yet, why are you asking for a refund?"

The other party wasn't going to tolerate this either. "I felt nauseous from what I ate, don't you owe me compensation?"

The entire first-floor lobby was in complete chaos for a moment.

But it's not over.

Outside on the street, rats swarmed in from all directions.

In the blink of an eye, the number of rats in the lobby on the first floor had reached no less than a hundred.

At first, Ma Wanhao was thinking of quickly sending more people to get rid of the rats.

But a few minutes later he realized that there was no way a person could catch all these rats.

Unless we can get a bulldozer.

"Where did these rats come from?"

"If Chen Huan and his group brought it, where is he hiding it?"

"Does he have special abilities?" Ma Wanhao stared intently at Chen Huan, trying to find some clues.

But he quickly gave up, because at that moment Chen Huan was sitting there calmly, watching the commotion with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

It seems he did nothing at all from beginning to end.

"Chen Huan, did you do this?" Qiao Lingling moved her chair and sat down next to Chen Huan, not caring about being so close to him, and asked curiously.

Chen Huan coughed twice, moved to the side, and separated himself from Qiao Lingling's slender, long legs.

Then, raising an eyebrow, he replied, "It's a secret that cannot be revealed."

"I've already told you, I'm going to make sure this restaurant can't stay open today. Just wait and see what happens."

Qiao Lingling knew in her heart that this matter must be related to Chen Huan.

As for how he did it, now is not the time to investigate the truth.

Just as Chen Huan said, let's watch the excitement first.

The noise on the first floor was so loud that it disturbed the guests upstairs as well.

Many people were standing on the stairs looking down.

Some timid female customers screamed when they saw hundreds of large rats gathered densely on the floor.

Some people even took out their phones to film it, and in the blink of an eye, it was already on short video websites.

"Don't take pictures! Anyone who does will be killed!" Ma Wanhao glared and gave a stern lecture.

He knew all too well the power of the internet; if this matter got out, his restaurant would be completely ruined.

But at this critical juncture, nobody paid him any attention. Everyone was busy taking photos and posting, and nobody was indulging his bad behavior.

The excitement continued as relevant departments, acting on reports from concerned citizens, rushed over to investigate.

People from health and epidemic prevention, industry and commerce, taxation, and fire protection departments—whether they were related to this or not—all came.

The outside was packed with people, while the inside was a chaotic mess.

At first, Ma Wanhao could still shout a few words, but in the end he completely gave up.

Surrounded by several subordinates in a corner, his face ashen, he kept muttering, "It's over, it's completely over now."

"Jinhao Restaurant will never amount to anything again. Those major shareholders will skin me alive."

The subordinate quickly offered a suggestion, "This was obviously done by that kid Chen Huan. Why don't we just explain it to the shareholders?"

"Let them deal with Chen Huan; it's none of our business."

Ma Wanhao glared at him and said, "You don't know anything."

"Why did those major shareholders put me in charge here? It's because I'm the local bigwig, and my word carries weight here."

"Now, this mere country bumpkin fish farmer can turn this huge restaurant upside down with just a show of his. If even he can't handle this, how am I supposed to work for the big boss in the future?"

"Besides, do you have any evidence?"

"Has he done anything particularly unusual since he came in?"

The men looked at each other and shook their heads.

Ma Wenhao himself had been keeping an eye on Chen Huan, but he hadn't noticed anything suspicious.

Seeing that Ma Wanhao was also deflated, and the diners were all demanding refunds and compensation, Chen Huan raised an eyebrow and said to Qiao Lingling, "So, are you satisfied now?"

"If you're satisfied, we should leave now."

Qiao Lingling nodded, "Very satisfied. When we get back, I'll reward you properly. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you."

This statement seems to carry a slightly ambiguous tone.

Moreover, Qiao Lingling's face was flushed and she was very excited, which made her look more playful and cute, and even more likely to make people think wildly.

Normally, Chen Huan might have taken advantage of the situation and developed something.

But when he looked at the fat man standing to the side, he immediately coughed twice and said, "We are friends and business partners, there's no need to be so polite."

"Just treat us to a meal when you get back."

The three of them chatted and laughed as they prepared to leave.

At this moment, Ma Wanhao, unable to contain his anger, led his men to block their way, saying, "Chen Huan, you are not allowed to leave."

"This whole thing is definitely related to you. No one's leaving until you explain yourself!"

"You think you can just destroy my huge restaurant like that? You think you can just walk away so easily?"

Ma Wanhao struck a pose as if he was going to fight to the death.

The shouting attracted the attention of many uniformed staff members.

"What's wrong, Manager Ma? Have you found any clues?" A police officer strode over.

He wasn't wearing a formal police uniform; he was probably a local police officer or something similar.

However, he looks quite old; he must be one of the older employees.

He looks very shrewd and worldly-wise.

She also exchanged glances with Ma Wanhao, and the two clearly had a good relationship.

When Ma Wanhao saw him coming, he seemed to feel much more confident.

Pointing directly at Chen Huan, he said, "I suspect he brought these rats here; he must have the corresponding items on him."

"Searching for him will surely yield results!"
