69: Chapter 69 Handsome and Kind-hearted Lin Baici_1
69 -69 Handsome and Kind-hearted Lin Baici_1
The setting sun vanished between the city’s towering buildings, as neon lights began to brighten, painting the urban landscape with a kaleidoscope of colors.
The breath of night started to permeate the air.
“That Manager Fan should be punished!”
Lin Baici’s voice was disinterested and flat.
“Huh?” Hua Yue Yu was startled, realizing that Bai Ci also harbored unresolved feelings, “If you’re upset with him, I’ll expose this restaurant!”
The GoPro action camera pinned to the strap on Hua Yue Yu’s chest had been running all this time.
She brought it partly out of professional habit, to capture video material, and partly because it was a significant occasion after many days to meet with Lin Baici again—recording the encounter for posterity and reminiscing about it later.
“Is that car really expensive?”
Lin Baici was referring to the black Mercedes parked beneath the parasol tree, which, given its elongated shape, appeared to be something ordinary people couldn’t afford.
“Yes, a Mercedes S-Class, worth over a million yuan.
Only big bosses drive those!”
Hua Yue Yu didn’t understand and thought that Bai Ci’s train of thought was leaping too much, right?
“How about we perform a little act, what do you say?”
Lin Baici asked with a smile.
Manager Fan had violated his contract by accepting a deposit without providing service, showing a lack of integrity.
The kitchen management was chaotic, the hygiene conditions were worrying, and there was even the use of carcinogenic substandard cooking oil, which was already a severe issue.
But what was truly terrifying was that the guy had HIV, and yet he was still working in the catering industry.
Didn’t he care at all about the health of his diners?
Lin Baici had always felt that when running a restaurant, ensuring health and hygiene was paramount.
After hearing Lin Baici’s plan, Hua Yue Yu was taken aback, “That manager has HIV?”
“Mhm!”
Lin Baici didn’t want people to know about the existence of the Eater God, so he took out his phone and sent a message to the Little Merperson, “Don’t forget that I am a God Hunter, blessed with Divine Grace, and I can see his health condition!”
Hiss!
After reading the message, Hua Yue Yu immediately gasped in shock and felt a chill when she remembered standing just five meters in front of Manager Fan, having a spat with him.
“HIV doesn’t transmit through spit, does it?”
Hua Yue Yu hurriedly opened her browser to search, and only after confirming that saliva doesn’t transmit the disease did she finally relax, then felt petrified thinking about what just happened.
Luckily she hadn’t dined at this restaurant.
What if Manager Fan was vindictive and had dripped blood into her food or soup…
The female anchor didn’t dare to continue the thought.
Hu Wenwu looked at the two of them, completely bewildered.
What are you guys talking about?
Why can’t I understand a word?
What’s HIV?
Is it some kind of illness?
“Wenwu, sorry about today.
You go back to school first; we’ve got something to deal with.”
Lin Baici apologized.
“If there’s an issue, I definitely can’t leave!”
Hu Wenwu felt Lin Baici was a nice guy, and he should lend a hand if he could.
Otherwise, leaving just like that would make it awkward when they lived together for the next four years, wouldn’t it?
“Then go to that Yang Er Barbecue over there and reserve a spot.
Order 100 yuan worth of mutton skewers; I’ll join you there to eat in a bit!”
Lin Baici instructed.
Hu Wenwu wanted to refuse, as he preferred to stay together, but Lin Baici convinced him, “Just keep watch there, and if I indeed run into trouble, you can come over then!”
“Okay!” freёwebnoѵel.com
Hu Wenwu agreed, realizing that he was the secret weapon in their plan.
As Hu Wenwu walked away, Hua Yue Yu couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Bai Ci was the God Hunter—what could possibly happen to him?
Besides, if he could not win the fight, he could always don the kasaya and call for Muscle Buddha to back him up.
Today was the enrollment day for the new students at Haijing Polytechnic University, and some of the students’ parents were truly the pride of humanity, successful in their careers.
The luxury cars parked within the school grounds made that abundantly clear.
After finishing his meal, Boss Wang simultaneously warned his son to behave in university and not to keep chasing after girls, lest he impregnate someone and cause trouble, while he also swelled with pride.
Having his son admitted to Haijing Polytechnic was indeed a feather in his cap.
The young driver rushed to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, opened the door, got in, started the engine, and turned on the air conditioning.
After waiting for twenty minutes, Lin Baici and Hua Yue Yu exchanged glances, signaling that their target had arrived.
According to their plan, as the owner of the Mercedes was approaching the car, Hua Yue Yu, standing under a Chinese parasol tree, showed an anxious expression and worriedly asked Lin Baici,
“What should we do now?
Could we get infected?”
No matter the circumstances, a beauty always draws attention, especially a top-tier beauty like Hua Yue Yu.
Boss Wang and his son had already set their sights on her.
“I don’t think so, right?”
Lin Baici ran his lines, feeling that Hua Yue Yu’s acting was excellent.
Indeed, as a live streamer, her little expressions were so convincing they even tugged at his own heartstrings.
“Who told you that the manager has HIV?
Shall we go and ask?”
Hua Yue Yu’s voice wasn’t very loud, but it was loud enough for Boss Wang and his family to hear.
Their expressions immediately jolted in shock.
HIV?
That’s frightening!
Boss Wang immediately frowned.
Had his car not been parked nearby, he would have had no desire to walk in this direction.
No matter how beautiful you are, once you’re associated with that virus, you are seen as a plague to be avoided at all costs.
“While I was using the restroom inside, I overheard two waiters whispering.
They said that Manager Fan might have HIV and they were afraid to continue working.
They’re planning to resign after getting their salaries these next couple of days!”
Lin Baici glanced back at Jixiang Residence, intending to show a fearful expression of contracting the disease himself, but his acting fell short by just a bit.
However, Boss Wang had already stopped paying attention to this detail.
He was completely taken aback by the mention of the manager having HIV.
“Excuse me, who did you say has AIDS?”
Boss Wang inquired.
Lin Baici didn’t immediately answer but gauged Boss Wang with a wary look.
“Hurry up and tell me!”
Boss Wang was anxious: “Is it the manager of this Jixiang Residence?”
Lin Baici didn’t speak, but Hua Yue Yu expressed urgency: “Who knows what the owner of this restaurant is thinking, hiring someone with HIV as the manager.
Could they possibly be relatives?”
Hua Yue Yu was spot on with her guess.
But the owner himself had no idea about Manager Fan’s condition; otherwise, he would never have employed him.
Boss Wang didn’t care anymore about their relationship and headed straight towards the restaurant.
Lin Baici had a bunch of excuses prepared, such as if the owner asked him to confront Manager Fan inside, he had plans on how to refuse, or if the owner decided not to confront Manager Fan but instead to go to a hospital for a blood test, he was ready to persuade him otherwise.
However, Boss Wang’s direct approach saved Lin Baici a lot of trouble.
Boss Wang started as a construction contractor, took risks, stumbled upon opportunities, and became a real estate developer with a net worth exceeding hundreds of millions.
Yet before he could enjoy his wealth for long, he had just had a meal, and now the restaurant manager was rumored to be an AIDS patient?
If this was confirmed, he would burn down the Jixiang Residence.
Boss Wang had considered rushing to the hospital for a blood test straight away, but how could he endure the anxious hours of waiting?
Once upon a time, he had a close call while entertaining clients with a full-service outing.
After the blood tests, waiting for the results was tormenting.
He had no desire to endure that experience again, and such blood tests would be embarrassingly scandalous!
So why not ask that manager just one question,
it’s the simplest way.
If it’s a mistake, just apologize and compensate him ten thousand yuan.
Lin Baici watched Boss Wang stride toward Jixiang Residence and chuckled, “Let’s go, have some barbecue and enjoy the big show!”
…
Boss Wang entered the restaurant, and a waiter immediately greeted him.
“Boss, did you leave something behind?”
The waiter remembered this boss who had just gone out.
“Call your Manager Fan!”
Boss Wang suppressed his anger.
Manager Fan came over quickly, smiling and asking, “Boss, what happened?”
“Do you have AIDS?”
Boss Wang got straight to the point and then stared fixedly at Manager Fan.
Manager Fan’s face stiffened, and panic flashed across his face: “Who…
who has AIDS?”
If it were someone else, they might not notice anything odd about Manager Fan, but Boss Wang, having started his own business, had dealt with everyone from high-ranking officials and rich businessmen to lowlife thugs.
His piercing gaze chilled him to the bone when he saw Manager Fan’s expression.
“I’m calling the police!”
Boss Wang took out his phone and continued to probe.
“Don’t… don’t call the police!”
Manager Fan was so startled that he subconsciously tried to stop him.
If they didn’t involve the police, the problem wouldn’t be too big, and it could be settled privately.
Boss Wang’s heart went cold, and he could no longer restrain his fury.
He grabbed a stool from the side and smashed it at Manager Fan.
If it were any other day, he would have just slapped him, but today he didn’t dare, afraid of getting infected.
“You motherfucker have AIDS and still be a fucking restaurant manager?!”
This roar from Boss Wang silenced the entire hall, and then everyone instinctively spat out the food in their mouths.
The waitstaff were also in a state of panic,
What the hell?
What’s wrong with Manager Fan?
They were ready to break up a fight, but now they all froze on the spot.
A young waiter who didn’t know what HIV was, thought about going over to help and get noticed by Manager Fan, but a colleague held him back.
“What are you doing going over there?
Want to get infected?”
The mere mention of AIDS causes fear—this is people’s direct understanding of the disease because to this day, there’s no effective treatment, only waiting for death.
Who wouldn’t be scared?
Soon, the restaurant’s main hall was in chaos, and in five or six minutes, the guests in the upstairs private rooms also found out, and no one felt like eating anymore.
So Jixiang Residence got lively.
About a dozen hot-tempered people grabbed stools and furiously smashed them at Manager Fan.
Manager Fan had no chance to argue.
A blood test would confirm everything.
…
At Yang Er Barbecue, Lin Baici was casually chewing on a skewer of lamb at a low table by the road.
“What do you think the result will be?”
Hua Yue Yu was curious.
“Manager Fan getting beaten up is certain, and he might even end up in the hospital!”
Lin Baici took a sip of draft beer: “I don’t know about the law, so I’m not sure if he’ll go to jail, but if he meets a tough customer, he’ll probably have to pay up!”
“Yeah, it’s all about causing a scene now!”
Hua Yue Yu nodded.
This Jixiang Residence was quite popular in this area, but after this incident, it was probably doomed.
Lin Baici and his companions were halfway through their roasted lamb leg when a police car arrived with flashing lights, and just a few minutes later, an ambulance also arrived.
Hua Yue Yu ran over to watch.
Soon, Manager Fan, his face covered in blood and his chest soaked, was carried out on a stretcher.
His left eye was swollen shut and he couldn’t even open it.
“Everyone step back, don’t touch his blood!”
The nurse shouted.
They didn’t bandage Manager Fan because they were afraid.
Just get him to the hospital quickly.
Lin Baici watched Manager Fan being loaded into the ambulance, raised his cup in a toast,
Wishing you a bright future!
Take care!
Glug, glug!
Lin Baici drained his beer.
The people who beat him were also taken away by the police, but this incident was tricky to handle.
“Didn’t expect such a sensational event!”
Big Fatty laughed with glee.
After what happened in the restaurant, he immediately changed the title of his live stream to ‘Restaurant Manager is an HIV Carrier, Current Number of Infected Unknown,’ which caused the popularity of his live room to explode rapidly.
Out of professional ethics, Big Fatty shouldn’t have started the live stream, but such traffic was a gift from heaven that he couldn’t just ignore.
“We’re not in trouble, right?”
Little Fatty was worried.
“No worries, as long as we keep ourselves clean, we won’t get HIV!”
After Big Fatty finished, he saw Hua Yue Yu in the crowd, and his face immediately lit up with happiness as he ran over, “Sister Fish?
You haven’t left yet?”
“Hmm, we were eating barbecue nearby, saw that something seemed to have happened here, so we came over to look.” Hua Yue Yu looked curious, “Why was that manager beaten up?”
“Good thing you didn’t eat here…”
Little Fatty babbled on and on and then sighed, “Your friend is handsome and kind-hearted, even waived the deposit.
As for that manager, he got what he deserved from heaven’s punishment!”
“Hehe!”
Hua Yue Yu laughed straightaway when she heard this.
Handsome and kind-hearted Lin Bai?
All of this was Bai Ci’s own design.
The Divine Grace is really impressive!
After chatting with the two from the Steal to Eat Society’s live stream for a bit, Hua Yue Yu said goodbye and left.
Before she’d even returned to the barbecue stall, she took out her phone and sent a message to Lin Baici.
“Do I have a chance to become a God Hunter?”
