Chapter 271 The Mysterious Restaurant

Considering that he couldn't eat anything too greasy, Wen Luozhi prepared tomato and beef noodles for him. The ingredients were all vacuum-packed, and he only needed to put them in a bowl with the noodles to soak.

When the lid was lifted, a sweet, sour, and savory aroma wafted out, and the test takers sniffed, wondering where the fragrance came from.

Following the aroma, Jian Lin walked over and couldn't help but lick his lips when he saw the contents of Wen Zijin's instant noodle bowl.

It looks delicious with both meat and vegetables, and the aroma is so enticing.

The boxes on the table must contain fruit, right? They're so colorful and pretty.

This young man's family must dote on him, considering how much they've prepared for him.

Unlike next door, where a simple white steamed bun with hot water is all they need.

He looked around and this person ate the worst.

The other candidates in the examination room felt a bit hungry because it was inconvenient to eat in the examination room, so they only brought simple things, the best of which was braised meat.

There was no other way but to soak it in hot water, but it tasted bad because the meat was still watery.

Yesterday was alright, but today I really can't take it anymore.

After eating a steamed bun, Lin Huaizhi still felt a bit hungry. He had eaten five steamed buns in total, and his mouth had no taste at all.

After finishing her meal, Wen Zijin took out a soft mat and a small blanket from the compression bag, packed them up, and then took a nap.

The afternoon session was easy, and he finished answering the questions in no time.

Lin Huaizhi was listless all afternoon because he hadn't eaten enough and it was a bit cold during his afternoon nap. After calling Juan, he didn't drink a drop of water and went to sleep covered with a robe.

The next day, Wen Luozhi took Yan Che to the busiest street.

She had inquired about all the shops, big and small, in this area when she went out to buy things yesterday.

Wolf Batian had a dog leash around his neck. Because he had just taken a bath, Wen Luozhi had groomed his fur, making him look like an adorable Samoyed.

Such a rare dog is seldom seen, and many people who tried to touch it were scared away by its bared teeth.

Lingdong Street was indeed much more lively, packed with people early in the morning. Wolf Overlord and Wen Luozhi were able to benefit from this.

Some people were afraid to squeeze on, but their journey was relatively smooth.

Wen Luozhi was not satisfied with several restaurants that were up for sale, and Yan Che also felt they were not good enough.

They're too young; they simply can't eat any of the dishes at Baiweizhai.

If there are many people, there is nowhere to queue.

The two looked around all morning but didn't find anything they liked. Just as they were about to leave, Wolf Overlord howled towards a closed restaurant not far away.

"Isn't this place pretty big? I'll ask around, I'm tired."

I don't want to go out this afternoon.

Wen Luozhi looked over and saw that the doors of the restaurant were all locked.

Yan Che walked over, and there was a wine shop next to him. He went in, bought a jar of wine, and asked a few questions.

Seeing how detailed his questions were, the innkeeper couldn't help but ask, "Young master, are you looking to take over this restaurant?"

Yan Che nodded. Seeing that no one was around, the innkeeper covered his mouth and whispered, "Young master, you should choose another restaurant. This place is really weird."

He always loved gossiping about these things, and he started talking to Yan Che about the restaurant.

It turns out the restaurant had already been sold to several people in succession, but unfortunately, something unexpected always happened each time.

People get injured every day when they go out to eat; the most serious incident was when a chopstick almost went down their throat.

The restaurant owner felt there was a problem with the feng shui and even invited a feng shui master to take a look, but it turned out there was nothing unclean.

Besides, evil spirits wouldn't dare come out and harm people during the day.

People felt it was very strange and stopped eating, and over time, fewer and fewer people went out to eat.

In the end, the owner packed his bags and left. As for what happened at the restaurant, everyone knows that people avoid it when they pass by.

"Young master, you look like you're from out of town. Take my advice and look at other options."

The shopkeeper sighed softly; he was even considering moving the shop to a different location.

He was afraid that over time his fortune would be affected by his neighbor's.

Wen Luozhi listened from the side the whole time, but because of what had happened to Mo Li, she hadn't said anything in response.

Could it be that some powerful evil spirit comes out to harm people even during the day? She frowned.

Wolf Overlord nudged her skirt, pulling her back to reality. "It's not just ghosts and monsters who play pranks; people do it too."

He twitched his nose. There was no strange aura around him, nor the strange feeling he had when Mo Li had her accident.

Yan Che glanced at Wen Luozhi, who nodded and smiled at him before saying to the shopkeeper, "Thank you for the reminder, shopkeeper, but we outsiders don't believe in these things."

"Does the innkeeper know where the owner of this restaurant is?"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, the shopkeeper simply stopped talking, thinking that the young man would learn his lesson once he experienced hardship.

He took out a piece of paper and wrote down an address. After thanking him, Yan Che went to find the person with Wen Luozhi.

Upon arrival, the gatekeeper went in and explained the situation, and immediately someone led them into the house.

Inside the main hall, a well-to-do middle-aged man was playing with a parrot perched on his shoulder.

Hearing that they wanted to take over that unfortunate restaurant, he was overjoyed, but then he asked worriedly, "You two must have heard about the restaurant when you came to see me. Aren't you afraid?"

Wen Luozhi shook her head. "Nothing is more terrible than not being able to earn money. Master Wu, don't worry, we have our own methods."

Master Wu laughed heartily and, like a wine shop owner, offered some words of advice.

Seeing that the two were determined to take over the restaurant, they offered a fair price.

When the two returned with the land deed and the restaurant key, the innkeeper kindly slipped each of them a talisman, his tone tinged with reproach:

"You guys are just young and impetuous!"

Wen Luozhi stepped inside with a smile, immediately greeted by a whiff of dust.

It looks like no one has been here for a long time.

She was about to go upstairs to take a look when she noticed that a table in the corner was almost dust-free, while the others were covered in a thick layer of dust.

Wen Luozhi curled the corners of her lips and checked each room one by one when she got upstairs.

Except for the last room closest to the corridor, the doors and windows of all the other rooms were tightly closed.

Alright! Someone's definitely playing a prank!

The previous bosses felt that things were strange and naturally associated it with something supernatural. They were probably too anxious to investigate carefully.

"We'll have someone clean this place up tomorrow, and we'll open for business in a while!"

She stood at the end of the corridor and deliberately shouted loudly out the window, and Yan Che responded loudly in response.

As they walked out of the restaurant, Yan Che approached her from a distance and whispered, "Did you find anything?"

Based on Yan Che's performance just now, Wen Luozhi first praised him a few times and then told him about her discovery.

Yan Che frowned upon hearing this. With so many people in the restaurant when it's open, it must take some skill to openly prank someone, right?

Moreover, the wine shop owner said that strange things happen every day. Is it really impossible for anyone to notice?

Wen Luozhi patted his shoulder and chuckled, "You'll know what's going on once we open for business."

After they left, Wen Luozhi opened the window she had closed again.
