CHAPTER 760: CHAPTER 762: CHEF WU’S WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN

In handling this, Amo felt helpless, but it was in front of a crowd, and they couldn’t provoke public outrage.

If possible, he also wished to solve it with force.

Given the current situation, the cockroaches and rats indeed came from Dongfeng Restaurant, and they couldn’t refute it.

When Amo suggested keeping the matter confidential, some people didn’t buy it, "Your food was unclean to begin with, and now you don’t want people to talk about it?"

"Esteemed guest, I have nothing to say about what happened today because you saw the cockroaches and rats with your own eyes, but it’s also possible that we have been falsely accused."

At this point, the customer who found the cockroach became unwilling again, "What you’re saying implies that I’m falsely accusing you? So it’s my fault I experienced unclean food?"

"..." At this moment, Amo felt he was at a loss for words, facing such relentless customers he didn’t know what to do.

"Esteemed guest, for this incident, I apologize on behalf of Dongfeng Restaurant. As a gesture of apology, Dongfeng Restaurant is also willing to compensate each of you with ten taels of silver, and we guarantee that this situation will not occur again. This incident is truly accidental, no one wants to ruin their own reputation."

After speaking, Amo bowed deeply to everyone to express his apology.

"Enough, enough, just quickly pay the silver," someone said impatiently.

Amo hurriedly called the shopkeeper to compensate everyone with silver, and only then did they manage to send the customers away.

The atmosphere in Dongfeng Restaurant quieted down for a moment as everyone lined up in the hall, waiting for Amo’s scolding.

Sure enough, Amo spoke, "What happened? How could you not pay attention to this? How could there be cockroaches and rats?" he asked, "Who is responsible for this?"

"I am, I clearly cleaned up this morning, and there were absolutely no cockroaches or rats," one of the kitchen helpers spoke up.

At that moment, someone suddenly spoke, "Where is Chef Wu?"

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone looked around, but Chef Wu was nowhere to be seen.

Amo had a bad feeling inside. He then said, "Alright, everyone get back to work, give the entire restaurant a thorough cleaning."

After hearing the order, everyone went back to work, and Amo returned to the private room where Li Fuyou was.

At that moment, Li Fuyou’s face wore a sinister expression. He had heard everything that happened in Dongfeng Restaurant.

His brows were furrowed, his veins bulged, and those people were still talking about his indiscretions and inhumanity.

"Young master, I’m afraid this was orchestrated by Chef Wu, who is now nowhere to be found," Amo said.

A flash of surprise crossed Li Fuyou’s eyes, then turned fierce, "I just knew it! I took over from Chef Wu, and the Chu family’s young master didn’t react at all. It turns out this was his sneaky plan, quite vicious indeed. I take back my earlier words; the Chu family’s young master is even more ruthless than me."

Thinking about it now, everything about Chef Wu was an act, and I was deceived.

That being said, those recipes might also be fake; indeed, villagers have reported that their cooks couldn’t prepare delicious meals following the recipes.

At that moment, Li Fuyou could no longer control his furious emotions and lashed out again.

He flipped over a table inside the room, and the contents crashed to the floor with a loud commotion.

"Young master," Amo said, concerned.

Li Fuyou clenched his fists tightly, his gaze murderous, "Chu family’s young master, Li Fuyou and you are irreconcilable."
