Chapter 94 To untie the bell, one must tie it
“Brother and sister-in-law, now that things have already happened, there’s no use crying and wailing anymore. We can only think of another way. Even a blind sparrow won’t starve. There’s always a way out.”
Upon hearing Zhang Dong's words, one of the staff members next to him snorted coldly.
"There's always a way out. You're completely disregarding the safety of your customers and still want the restaurant to reopen? I'm telling you right now, that's wishful thinking..."
At this point, the other diners were so frightened that they left the restaurant.
But they didn't leave immediately; they all stayed outside as spectators.
Seeing these measures taken by law enforcement officers, people were shocked and discussed the matter extensively.
"The claim of excessive pesticide residues is just an excuse. As far as I know, which restaurant doesn't do this? It's not just their restaurant."
"Exactly, I think things are very strange. It seems like someone is targeting their restaurant these past few days..."
Hearing that these guests were not leaving and were still discussing things at the door, the leader's face darkened: "What are you talking about here? Our Health Bureau is conducting an on-site investigation, and you are just spouting nonsense. Do you really think the law can't bind you?"
The other party was clearly a seasoned veteran of officialdom; with just a few words, he frightened the guests who were standing up for justice at the door, and they quickly fled.
Seeing this, Zhang Dong shook his head speechlessly.
It's often said that the eyes of the masses are discerning, and that's certainly true, but who can blame them for having the power now?
The old saying, "The common people cannot fight against the officials," is not without reason.
As these police officers arrived, Zhang Dong realized that no matter what sanctions the other side might take, they would be powerless to resist them at the moment.
Zhang Dong didn't want Dong Qichang and his wife to do that either.
As for how to resolve this matter, he hasn't come up with a perfect solution yet.
At this moment, the leader began to show signs of impatience.
"What's going on here? Didn't you hear what our staff said? Your restaurant has been shut down. If you don't leave, the police will get involved and charge you with interfering with official business..."
Upon hearing what the leader said, Zhang Dong quickly pulled Dong Qichang and his wife out of the restaurant.
Right now, they can only watch helplessly as the restaurant is shut down.
Seeing the law enforcement officers seal the restaurant and leave, Dong Qichang and his wife sat on the steps at the entrance, sobbing heartbrokenly and desperately.
"Oh dear, why are we so unlucky? Our parents are sick and need a lot of money, but now, when it rains, it pours. How are we going to get by?"
During this period, Dong Qichang and his wife were very motivated.
They had originally planned to sell the restaurant to pay for their parents' medical treatment, but Zhang Dong's joining the business brought them hope in their despair.
Unexpectedly, this situation occurred in less than a week.
To make matters worse, the couple's emotions completely collapsed, and they sat on the steps in despair, sobbing uncontrollably.
Seeing the couple weeping bitterly, Zhang Dong felt a pang of sadness.
He now feels that perhaps it was because he invested in this restaurant that he has attracted all this trouble.
Otherwise, why did nothing happen to Dong Qichang when he ran a restaurant, but so many strange things happened after I invested in it?
It's only been a short time, and yet one bombshell after another has been dropped.
He simply wouldn't believe it if there wasn't something fishy going on.
"Oh, brother and sister-in-law, I'll handle this. You don't need to worry about it. Don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to get our restaurant back open."
Hearing Zhang Dong's promise, the couple finally wiped away their tears.
The couple, their faces full of doubt, asked Zhang Dong almost in unison.
"Brother Zhang Dong, do you have a good idea?"
Zhang Dong couldn't very well say he had no choice, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod.
"That's right. Now you can just go home and wait for news. Anyway, the restaurant has already been sealed off."
Even after Zhang Dong told them to go home, the couple remained skeptical.
"Brother Zhang Dong, do you really have a way to reopen our restaurant?"
Seeing the couple's eager expressions, Zhang Dong smiled faintly.
"Hey, I told you to leave it alone, why do you still insist on asking? After all, I'm a mine owner, I have some connections, right?"
Having no other choice, Zhang Dong could only offer this reason to comfort them.
Dong Qichang and his wife nodded and left the restaurant.
Afterwards, Zhang Dong returned to his rented house.
Now that something had happened at the restaurant, Zhang Dong felt he needed to calm down and carefully consider how to resolve the immediate problem.
He quickly figured out the problem: the one who tied the knot must untie it.
Next, he had to find the two groups of people, the fat man and the thin man, and find out who they were.
The incidents that occurred for three consecutive days ultimately led to the closure of the restaurant and the prospect of facing a huge fine, leaving Zhang Dong somewhat bewildered.
Now that he's calmed down, he's decided to find those bastards who caused trouble for them and see who's instigating them.
To put it bluntly, Zhang Dong still doesn't know who exactly attacked him.
Although Dong Qichang had mentioned before that someone was eyeing his restaurant, Zhang Dong did not ask who that person was at the time.
It seems we must find Dong Qichang next and ask him to provide a list.
During this period, find those troublemaking thugs again.
Without hesitation, Zhang Dong hurriedly returned to the mine, found his uncle, and explained the situation to him.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Guangyao became furious: "Damn it, it seems someone is jealous of the booming business of our newly opened restaurants and wants to ruin them completely."
"Don't worry, I'll go find people right away, and I'll definitely find these troublemakers!"
Two days later, Zhang Guangyao came to see Zhang Dong in high spirits.
"Nephew, things are looking promising."
Hearing his uncle say this, Zhang Dong was also quite surprised: "What, there's already some progress?"
Seeing Zhang Dong's surprise, Zhang Guangyao nodded hastily.
"That's right. I used my connections in the county town, and they quickly located that big fat guy. Tonight, he's drinking and eating skewers at a roadside stall."
"What? That bastard is actually drinking and eating skewers?"
Zhang Dong's eyes widened in anger.
"Damn it, you ruined my restaurant and you're all so cool."
"Let's go, let's go and take him down right now."
Seeing Zhang Dong's anxious expression, Zhang Guangyao grabbed him and said, "Nephew, don't be in such a hurry."
Zhang Dong was taken aback: "What's wrong, Uncle?"
Zhang Guangyao quickly explained, "That bastard is drinking and eating skewers with seven or eight of his underlings. It wouldn't be convenient for us to make a move if we went over there at this time."
