Chapter 897: Can't Swallow This Anger (Part 2)

The two of them hurriedly exchanged a glance, both stunned.

The purchaser gritted his teeth, damn it, why hasn’t Chef Luo left yet?!

Duan Weijia was dumbfounded on the spot, completely dazed.

The two were both panicking, though not for the same reason, each had their own calculations in their minds, their stomachs churning with tension.

The goods smuggled in were blocked at the back door by Luo Rang, spilling all over the ground.

The driver was also restrained.

Neither the purchaser nor Duan Weijia dared to step forward to stop it, nor did they dare to meet Luo Rang’s gaze.

Anyway, since things have come to this, they might as well play dead and keep silent.

Meanwhile, Luo Rang directly dialed the police!

The call was quickly connected.

Extreme anger made Luo Rang rather calm, and when reporting, he only said there was a fight.

Many in the kitchen who rushed to help didn’t know the whole story, but hearing Luo Rang calling the police, they immediately became indignant.

The worker restraining the driver held him firmly, saying gruffly, “You’ve got some nerve, daring to fight with our Chef Luo! You fucking dare bully Chef Luo, whose supplier are you from? Do you still want to deliver to our restaurant in the future?”

The driver was startled by the situation and didn’t care about the goods anymore, saying in panic, “You, you, you, what do you want to do? Don’t mess around! I’m just here to deliver, it was your people contacting our boss for the delivery, it’s nothing to do with me, let me go…”

The worker said loudly, “Mess around? You dare to provoke Chef Luo, wait a bit, I’ll show you what ‘messing around’ really means!”

“This, this has nothing to do with me either! I’m just the delivery guy…”

The driver, just in his early twenties, had never experienced something like this before, was frightened by a few words from the worker, feeling extremely anxious, desperately thinking of how to get away.

He only accepted the order and was sent by his boss to deliver, who knew he would run into trouble today!

Normally, he could at least call for help, but now he was stuck with the goods.

He knew very well what was in the goods, and because he knew, he felt guilty, knowing if things really blew up, it would definitely end badly.

It wasn’t yet time for customers to dine in, and more people came over after hearing the news at the back door.

Seeing the situation, those with higher positions stepped forward to ask and help, while those with lower positions stood at a distance watching the commotion.

Someone saw Luo Rang making the call, murmuring, “This must be a big deal! They actually called the police!”

Nowadays, whenever something can be settled privately, it surely is preferred that way.

Especially in the restaurant industry, the last thing they want is negative rumors.

And now, with the New Year approaching, if anything were to happen that delayed business, it would be a great loss.

In this situation, for Luo Rang to still choose to call the police without hesitation, it surely means the restaurant is in the right.

Since there’s nothing to fear on their part, the onlookers immediately became stirred up.

“Hold him, don’t let him run!”

“To dare oppose Chef Luo, you must be out of your mind!”

“Hey, what’s the matter anyway?”

“Who cares what it is, probably the goods have quality issues? Look at these lamb chops, they’re not fresh!”

The onlookers spontaneously started offering all sorts of wild guesses, not understanding the situation yet but already condemning the restrained driver.

The driver was being held by two workers, unable to move with his back against the van’s door.

Luo Rang didn’t stop the workers, but instead looked sternly at the driver, saying, “I’ve already called the police about today’s incident, where’s your order form? Show it to me, I want to find out who unauthorized-ly changed the supplier and brought in this batch of zombie meat!”

Fu Yu followed beside him, no longer intervening.

He figured it out now; to pull this off at the Four Seas Banquet, it must have been done by someone from the kitchen, not just a regular worker, it had to be a chef with reliable people to command, colluding with the purchaser.

Luo Rang, being the head chef of Four Seas Banquet, could not just stand by while such things happened right under his nose.

Moreover, the purchaser dared to conspire with a chef to deceive right in front of him, clearly disregarding him as the head chef.

If he didn’t get this sorted, Luo Rang wouldn’t be able to swallow this.

The driver dared not make a sound, this was his first delivery, he hadn’t even seen the purchaser face-to-face, completely clueless about who’s who.

He looked around nervously, still hoping to find someone to back him up.

Luo Rang pointed at him from a distance, saying, “Young man, don’t say this has nothing to do with you. This whole delivery business is quite deceitful, this entire batch of zombie meat, tell me, how long has it been frozen? More than a year? Selling this low-cost meat to restaurants, flowing into the market, it ends up being the customers who pay for and eat it, right?”

“Ask your own conscience, are you at ease making this kind of money?”

“Let me tell you, now that I’ve called the police, this can’t be covered up, you’ve got two choices now: either hand over the order form honestly, and I’ll catch and deal with whoever in the store is doing this shady business, or wait for the police to come and take your whole shipment for them to inspect!”

Luo Rang was simply intimidating this young delivery driver, and it turned out to be quite effective.

The driver, already a bit panicked after being suddenly restrained, was now shaking with fear from the threat, looking cautiously at Luo Rang, he murmured, “Brother, big brother, I’m just a delivery guy, my boss gives me the orders, I just drive, it’s got nothing to do with me. You want the delivery note, right? It’s in my vehicle, I’ll get it.”

Luo Rang instructed the two workers to let go and let the driver retrieve the delivery note.

The onlookers also understood the situation by now and immediately turned to look at the nearby purchaser.

The purchaser was completely dumbfounded, his face turning red then pale in front of all those people.

He was uneasy, panicking terribly.

It’s over, all over.

The police have been called, Luo Rang clearly wants to make sure he suffers!

The driver quickly brought out the order form, being so young, he was completely scared speechless, meekly saying to Luo Rang, “This is the order my boss gave me, it’s the goods your store ordered, I delivered exactly as per the order, not a single item less, you see, it’s even signed by the one who placed the order!”

“Big brother, this really has nothing to do with me…”

Luo Rang looked at the order form, turning to the purchaser, “Old Bao, come look, is this your signature on the order form?”

The purchaser stepped forward, trying to maintain composure, and said without looking at the form, “Chef Luo, I ordered this stock, but it was under Chef Duan’s supervision, he had me find a supplier and wanted this batch of meat, I…”

Duan Weijia, who was standing nearby, turned his head in astonishment, glaring at the purchaser, too angry to speak.

This bastard is making things up, it was obviously his arrangement, I only wanted to earn some commission!

The purchaser’s eyes flickered, continuing, “I have to maintain a good relationship with the kitchen staff for this job, since Chef Duan requested, I had to comply…”

Duan Weijia’s eyes turned red with anger, unable to hold back anymore, he stepped forward in large strides, reaching out to shove the purchaser, “Old Bao, you bastard! What are you talking about?! Whose idea was this? Why are you putting it all on me?!”

Luo Rang watched the two of them trying to push the blame onto each other, his eyes clear and furious, with bloodshot streaks revealing his extreme anger and resentment, it was as if a fiery blaze was burning atop his head, he raised a finger pointing at the purchaser, gritting his teeth as he accused, “Old Bao, I never expected this! You’ve been with our restaurant for a long time and yet you could do such a thing! I’m telling you now, as long as I’m in the kitchen at Four Seas Banquet, don’t even think about pulling any tricks like this here!”

Luo Rang’s finger moved towards Duan Weijia, gesturing as if channeling his energy, but didn’t say a single word to him.

Duan Weijia looked at Luo Rang anxiously, his face flushed with embarrassment, wanting to plead but unable to say a single word.

The onlookers were dumbfounded, with strings of “Wow!” “Damn!” “Oh shit!” racing through their minds.
