274 Interrogation (Part 1)

“I don’t have any of your men here.”

After realizing that the person knocking on the door was Lin Chenzhi, Zhao Zhan had Chen Xiaolang lead the other two into the carriage from the back door and headed straight for Huai County.

Things would change if he were delayed.

He was clear about Lin Chenzhi’s abilities, and Zhao Zhan would not be careless.

“Listen…” Lin Chenzhi lowered his head and sneered. “I’m here to discuss business with you anyway. Why don’t you let me in?”

The best way to solve a problem is to face it. Zhao Zhan didn’t want to wait any longer, so he stood to the side.

Lin Chenzhi strode into the room confidently. He was alone and did not bring any servants with him.

He didn’t know if it was because he was too confident in himself or if he had made careful hidden arrangements.

The moment Lin Chenzhi entered the room, he looked up and down at the layout of the shop. His eyes couldn’t help but land on Yue Jiaojiao’s face after several steps.

Could it be that the lighting was dim, so he felt that the beauty was not as stunning as before?

He looked at the two of them holding hands and the atmosphere was so natural that he, an outsider, couldn’t get involved at all.

Lin Chenzhi’s fingers clenched at his sides, and he strolled over to sit in front of Zhao Zhan. “It seems that I was blind to say that no woman would fall for you, Zhao Zhan. It seems that you’ve struck gold with this beauty.”

“I know you’re envious but there’s no chance.”

Zhao Zhan leaned forward and blocked half of Yue Jiaojiao’s body with his shoulder.

“Since everyone is here, you don’t have to pretend anymore. I’m sure you know that the truth has been found out about the customers who were poisoned after eating the food in my shop.

“My Hundred Flavors Restaurant will continue to operate as usual, and it’ll be flourishing with each passing day.

“So don’t pretend to cooperate when you just want me to go to jail. It’s starting to get comical.”

Lin Chenzhi laughed, his posture perfectly composed. “I was just joking with you, why are you taking it so seriously? I heard that your secret recipe for making tofu is your wife’s dowry. With a good wife at home, what more can a husband ask for?”

Lin Chenzhi’s fingers tapped the table twice, “But to be honest, I’ve come a long way to find someone. I observed the facial features of your wife. She looks a little like my darling.” He dragged out the last syllable and stared at the two people opposite him. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. “Actually, she looks a little like my fiance.”

By the end of his sentence, his gaze had already landed on Yue Jiaojiao. His eyes narrowed, “Pardon me for asking, but may I know where you live?”

“Of course, if you don’t want to tell me, I won’t force you. I will find my fiance eventually.”

He had been paying attention to the reactions of the two people opposite him.

Zhao Zhan’s face was already stone cold so it was difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry, not to mention that he had already mentally prepared himself for this.

Yue Jiaojiao looked down calmly as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

“I’m not interested in your affairs. If you want to talk business, then be more forthright. I don’t have the time to chit-chat with you.”

Zhao Zhan wanted to blindfold Lin Chenzhi and send him somewhere far away.

“You’re right, look at me! I can’t help but be distracted when I look at your wife.” Lin Chenzhi seemed annoyed and shook his head. “Let’s talk about the business now.”

“Zhao Zhan, the thing you’re holding in your hands is a rare item. I’ve asked my men to observe it for a few days. It doesn’t look easy to preserve. Since you can’t sell the secret recipe to me, how about I share it with you?

“I’ll give you a hundred silver today as a deposit to show my sincerity in our cooperation. I’ll pay for the silver and you’ll pay for the prescription. The money I earn in Bei City will be split fifty-fifty with you. How about that?”

Zhao Zhan slammed his fist on the table. “Are you making fun of me?”

Just now, he wanted to buy the secret recipe with two hundred silver.

Now, it was becoming a deposit of one hundred silver. When he returns to Bei City with the prescription, who would acknowledge the remaining fifty-fifty?

“I don’t agree with the conditions. It seems like we’re destined to not work together.”

“There’s no hurry.”

Lin Chenzhi walked to the cabinet that had been specially built by a carpenter and stuffed a piece of dried meat into his mouth.

“There’s something about this…” he frowned as if he had just remembered. “Yes, there’s that spiciness.”

When your tofu business fails… Would you mind selling me some of this? It has a very spicy texture and makes one’s body heat up! Amazing!”

Lin Chenzhi clapped his hands and looked at Zhao Zhan calmly.
