Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Guo Kou Tangzi took a puff of his pipe and said.

"Don't be curious; knowing too much won't do you any good."

He shook his head.

He's involved in far too many secrets.

Sewers, Chaos Club, Garbage Disposal Plant, Legendary Deliveryman

Any one of them could crush the Extreme Flavor Group to pieces.

As for Liu Zheng himself, he was already so burdened with debt that he didn't care anymore, and so troubled by lice that he didn't itch anymore.

"You're being so secretive. I don't trust you."

"That's what Guo Kou Tangzi said."

"As expected."

"If you want me to cooperate with you, you have to do something for me first."

"That's what Guo Kou Tangzi said."

"You said."

Just as Guo Kou Tangzi was about to speak, a telephone suddenly rang.

"It's not mine."

She shook her head.

"It's not ours either."

The four seasoning enthusiasts also shook their heads.

"its mine."

Liu Zheng said, hearing the familiar ringtone of his cell phone.

Seriously, did he not know his phone could be this loud?

As they were talking, the volume of the phone ringing increased again, becoming deafening even through several walls.

"Two minutes."

The phone ringtone suddenly changed to Si Xue's voice.

"Fuck!"

He threw off the mourning cloth and ran towards the locker room.

Chapter 172 Si Xue: I'm starting to regret it

With just ten seconds left, Liu Zheng got his phone and answered the call.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

He spoke respectfully, panting.

Actually, given his physical condition, he didn't need to pant; this was to show respect to his superior.

"Is taking a bath comfortable?"

Si Xue asked calmly.

"Comfort doesn't matter, the main thing is to get it clean, so as not to affect the restaurant's image and working environment."

Liu Zheng said seriously.

"You should be a press officer at the city hall. It's a waste of your talent to be a food delivery driver."

Even though Si Xue was well-informed, she was speechless at his shamelessness.

"I don't feel wronged. When I was desperate, the restaurant gave me a job, and it's an honor for me to work as a delivery driver for them."

he said seriously.

Liu Zheng wasn't entirely against his conscience when he said that, at least not in the last sentence.

If he had joined a different department, he would probably be considered garbage by now.

"Get back to the restaurant right now and see me."

"Roger that!"

Liu Zheng responded loudly.

Si Xue hung up the phone and touched his forehead, finding it covered in a thick layer of cold sweat.

The main problem was that it was the first time I'd encountered such a dangerous call, and I had no experience with it.

He put down his phone and began to think about why Si Xue had summoned him.

Is it because of the fire mage?

Liu Zheng felt it was unlikely.

He didn't doubt that Si Xue knew his whereabouts, but mainly Si Xue wouldn't bother to contact him about something like this.

It's just the death of a councilor and a deputy director; besides, it wasn't murder.

As for the Jordan family, that's even more impossible. A gray family without a senator is probably no different from Liu Zheng in the eyes of a big shot like Si Xue.

After thinking it over, the only thing he could think of was blowing up the "Sunshine" pet shop.

After all, he blew up so many roadside trees and roads, and even blew out the ceiling of the sewer.

Thinking about this, Liu Zheng clicked his tongue a little.

Using a delivery dispute as an excuse might fool the Public Security Bureau, but fooling Si Xue would be suicidal.

There's no other way but to confess and be treated leniently, or resist and be punished severely.

He sighed and returned to the hot spring.

"Was that the owner of the Bloody Restaurant?"

"I asked the soup vendor at the pot's edge."

Liu Zheng didn't speak, but his silence was an admission.

"She's a female too. Hmph, one day I'll rise to a higher position than her."

Guo Kou Tangzi said ambitiously.

"Then destroying the Jordan family will be the beginning of your grand ambitions."

He took the opportunity to speak.

"You'd better survive your boss first."

Guo Kou Tangzi mocked.

"Don't worry, I won't die before you. Now, what are your demands?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I need you to convince the head chef of the Bloody Restaurant to have a contest with me, a contest of stewing soup."

"That's what Guo Kou Tangzi said."

"It can't even leave the Bloody Restaurant, so how can it compare?"

"No need to come out. After you've finished making the soup, just give it to the other person to taste. A true chef should have enough taste and pride."

"That's what Guo Kou Tangzi said."

"We can't let it compete with you for nothing. What's the prize?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Half of this pot."

"No way, boss!"

Upon hearing this, the four seasoning enthusiasts immediately rushed over and sat down around the pot of soup.

"This is a heirloom of the Extreme Flavor Group, symbolizing the leader's legitimacy and authority. It cannot be used as a prize."

"It's ginger!" Ginger Head said loudly.

“Since I am the head of the Extreme Flavor Group, this is my property, and I have the right to dispose of it.”

The soup inside the pot remained unmoved.

“This doesn’t just belong to you, it belongs to us and to those deceased predecessors of the Gokumi Group. If you insist on going your own way, as the young leader (successor), I will initiate impeachment proceedings.”

Chili Head said in a deep voice.

"You want to rebel?"

Guo Kou Tangzi opened his phoenix eyes, exuding an air of majesty.

“Boss, my loyalty to you is as clear as day. But the Extreme Flavor Group is our home, and I can’t watch you destroy it. I will commit seppuku after the impeachment proceedings are over.”

Chili Head's voice was strong and resonant.

"After following me for so many years, you've finally shown some backbone."

Upon hearing its words, Guo Kou Tangzi laughed instead of getting angry.

"That"

Chili Head was secretly delighted.

"But have you forgotten what the goal of the leader of the Extreme Flavor Group is?"

"That's what Guo Kou Tangzi said."

"To cook the most delicious soup in the world with the pot in our hands, so that every member of the Extreme Flavor Team can enjoy it."

Chili Head paused for a moment before speaking.

“That’s right. If I can’t beat the head chef of the Bloody Restaurant, how can I say that I’ve cooked the most delicious soup in the world?”

"If you can't make the most delicious soup in the world, what difference does it make whether the pot is whole or broken?"

The soup at the pot's edge was as white as water.

"Hey, I understand. I support your decision, Boss."

Chili head tilted his head back and said.

"Hey, we support our boss's decision."

Seeing that Ruotou also said so, the three of them, Congjiangsuan ... and Suanjiangsuan, had no choice but to speak up as well.

"can you do it?"

Having convinced his underlings, Guo Kou Tangzi turned to Liu Zheng.

"let me try."

He didn't dare to make a guarantee.

The main issue is that this kind of competition seems to be about honor, and he doesn't know what impact losing would have on the white-feathered chickens.

"If you can do that, regardless of winning or losing, the Extreme Flavor Team will sincerely cooperate with you."

After finishing their business, Liu Zheng quickly changed his clothes and left the bathhouse.

Before leaving, he also deposited 5000 yuan for the Jiwei Group.

It's never wrong to be polite. Even if the soup-making competition doesn't happen, we can collaborate elsewhere.

Before leaving, he seemed to see a hint of regret in Sumire's eyes.

Liu Zheng sprinted back to the restaurant. Luckily, the soup pot had protective measures in place, otherwise it would have all spilled on the way.

"Boss, don't drink this soup, I need to keep it."

Upon entering the rest room, he put down the soup pot and gave instructions to the cattle and horses.

"Why should I drink it just because you say so?"

As Niu Ma spoke, he stood up, clearly intending to taste the saltiness.
