Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 833 - 111 Tang Qing, looking for someone

Having obtained a little clue from An Jie, Lin Yuan had Shopkeeper Wu personally verify the statements with the two friends An Jie mentioned, and the results were consistent. An Jie had eaten his favorite chicken and some vegetarian dishes, all of which they had also consumed without feeling any discomfort.

"With this, we can confirm that An Jie was not poisoned at our Fragrant Full Building!" Shopkeeper Wu pounded his palm, both anxious and angry.

Lin Yuan nodded in agreement, "That means it happened before he came to the Fragrant Full Building."

Shopkeeper Wu continued, "It puzzles me too; those two said they were going to An’s House to meet with An Jie before coming to Fragrant Full Building together, and they even rode in the same carriage. Doesn’t that imply An Jie was poisoned at An’s House? Ah, our Fragrant Full Building has really been wrongfully blamed!"

Indeed, they had been wrongfully blamed, and the blame was forced upon them by someone else!

Lin Yuan was also full of indignation, as the poisoning of An Jie had dealt a significant blow to both the reputation and business of the Fragrant Full Building. She didn’t need to investigate to know the impact plainly. Although there were no longer people throwing rotten vegetable leaves and stinky eggs at the entrance, the deserted atmosphere here, in stark contrast to the bustling Drunken Immortal Residence across the street, was infuriating!

"The top priority now is to find out the reason behind An Jie’s poisoning."

Seeing that Xia Zheng had been silent, Lin Yuan tapped the back of his hand, "What are you thinking about?"

Xia Zheng came to his senses and shrugged his shoulders, "Nothing, I was just thinking that this Mr. Tang should be arriving soon."

Mr. Tang?

Lin Yuan curled her lip, as if she meant Magistrate Tang Qing! True, Wang Hong had released Shopkeeper Wu without his approval, and there was no way Tang Qing would not question that. Besides, she and Xia Zheng had caused such a stir at Fragrant Full Building, how could the others not be aware of it?

"I’m actually looking forward to his visit! As a local official, instead of rushing to find the culprit of the poisoning, he blindly suppressed us first. I think he should no longer be called Tang Qing, but Tang Hei instead!" Lin Yuan angrily slapped the table, her small hand turning red, yet it did nothing to quell her anger.

Xia Zheng smirked, but his brows remained furrowed, for he had a feeling that this matter would not be resolved so easily.

They were just mentioning Tang Qing when unexpectedly, it was Jin Can who arrived first.

As soon as he entered, Jin Can hurried over, his mouth never stopping, "Ah, I had just gone to the Yamen to beat the drum and complain to defend Shopkeeper Wu, only to find out from the government officials that Shopkeeper Wu had already returned. I was happy thinking that maybe the truth had come to light, so I rushed over here. But, but why is this tavern still so deserted, where’s the chef, where are the waiters? Aren’t you doing business anymore?"

Perhaps too excited, Jin Can sprayed saliva while he spoke.

Lin Yuan chuckled softly, inconspicuously stepping back.

Xia Zheng was not as tactful, grimacing as he lifted the lid of the teapot to shield his face.

Shopkeeper Wu was both amused and annoyed; he quickly grabbed the incessant Jin Can, and with a smile and a bow, said, "I appreciate the support, Jin. In fact, Master Magistrate had no evidence to prove that Young Master An’s poisoning was our Fragrant Full Building’s fault, and as soon as the Boss came, he had me released."

Jin Can uttered a couple of ’ohs,’ nodding repeatedly, his sharp, gleaming eyes locked on Lin Yuan, his throat gulping down saliva, nearly drooling.

Lin Yuan didn’t think his look was because she appeared delectable to him. She laughed and said, "Mr. Jin, I’m sorry, but our tavern cannot reopen just yet. However, rest assured, Fragrant Full Building will definitely not close down. When we reopen, we’ll certainly invite you to taste our new dishes."

At the mention of new dishes, Jin Can’s eyes brightened even more, nodding excitedly, almost ready to embrace Lin Yuan with tears of joy.

It was a relief to finally see Jin Can off, and Lin Yuan exhaled softly. It was just some fish balls she had made for him; did he really have to look at her like that? It was as if she was the fish ball.

"Hehe, hehe."

Xia Zheng suddenly chuckled in a strange tone, his gaze slanting at her, his expression as colorful as if about to start a dye workshop.

Caught off guard, Lin Yuan giggled secretly. This guy was being jealously unreasonable again. Was it just because Jin Can had looked at her for a bit too long? Jin Can was old enough to be her father; could she possibly have feelings for him? fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
