Chapter 258 Denying It

At this moment, the waiter said to Chen Feng, "Boss, you don't need to call the government."

Before the two could even feel happy, the shopkeeper said to Chen Feng, "Young Master Xu and Young Master Murong went to find the officials and doctors before you arrived. So much time has passed, they should be here soon."

The two men turned even paler, and anyone with eyes could see that something was wrong.

Both of them had criminal records, so meeting with the government officials would be tantamount to walking into a trap.

The two exchanged a glance, and one of them said, "Well, now that I'm awake, there's no need to see a doctor. Let's go."

“Yes, yes, yes.” The other person quickly nodded and said, “We have things to do, so we’ll be leaving now.”

Chen Feng gave a signal to the waiters, and several waiters blocked the two men's way out, smiling as they said, "Don't rush off, gentlemen. The officials will be here soon. You can leave when they arrive."

Listening closely, he could hear the gritted teeth in their words, which told him that there was nothing wrong with the food at their Crescent Moon Restaurant. These two people actually wanted to frame Crescent Moon Restaurant. If it weren't for their boss's wisdom, they might have really succeeded today.

The two men immediately panicked and tried to push the men away, saying, "How can you stop us? We have things to do."

"You are violating our freedom."

“Gentlemen, you can’t say that,” Chen Feng said, looking at the two of them. “You’re the ones who will suffer in this matter. And what if there really is something wrong with the food at our Crescent Moon Restaurant? So, don’t even think about leaving before the officials arrive.”

"If there is indeed a problem with the food at our Crescent Moon Restaurant, I will naturally compensate you to the fullest extent."

But they knew there was absolutely nothing wrong with the food at Crescent Moon Restaurant. The two of them were almost in tears, and said, "As long as you let us leave, we won't pursue this matter."

"I see..." Chen Feng pretended to be troubled, and said under the expectant gazes of the two, "But... I want to investigate further."

"You dare to play us?!" The man who had just woken up changed his expression immediately, gritting his teeth as he looked at Chen Feng: "Boss Chen, you'd better think this through. If the government comes and finds out the truth, it will be your New Moon Pavilion's reputation that will be damaged. Even if I don't want to pursue this, I can't." His words seemed to be for the sake of New Moon Pavilion, but Chen Feng remained unmoved.

Just as the two were about to say something, the waiter's voice came from outside: "Boss, the government officials are here."

The two men looked even uglier. Without thinking, they tried to run away from the staff and the crowd, but the staff, who had already received Chen Feng's instructions, wouldn't let them get away and immediately pinned them down.

The surrounding crowd was completely silent, the earlier clamor against Crescent Tower had vanished.

They weren't blind. After eating the food at Crescent Moon Restaurant, that person foamed at the mouth and collapsed, so his condition must have been serious. However, he jumped up from the ground after being pricked with an acupuncture needle by Chen Feng, and his energetic appearance didn't seem like anything was wrong.

Moreover, if they were really like that because of the food at Crescent Moon Pavilion, why would they be so afraid of seeing government officials?

When the government officials entered, this was the scene they saw: the person who should have fainted was pinned to the ground by the waiter, and another person who was shouting the loudest was also held down, while Chen Feng stood aside looking down at the two of them.

The government officials were puzzled, as this was different from what Xu Xuan had said. The constables who came also recognized Chen Feng. After thinking for a moment, they approached Chen Feng and asked him in a somewhat obsequious manner, "Boss Chen, what exactly happened?"

It wasn't that they wanted to curry favor, but the person who reported to the authorities was Xu Xuan. Who was Xu Xuan? A notorious playboy, and the only son of Master Xu. Even the officials didn't dare to offend Xu Xuan. They didn't dare to show the slightest disrespect to Chen Feng, who had a good relationship with Xu Xuan. If they offended Xu Xuan again, their job as constables would be in trouble.

Before Chen Feng could speak, the guests who had watched the whole thing started talking all at once.

Seeing that someone was speaking up for him, Chen Feng didn't say anything until they finished speaking. Then he said to the constables, "That's roughly what they said."

The constables had eaten at New Moon Pavilion several times and knew that the food there was not only delicious but also made with very hygienic ingredients. They were clearly trying to frame New Moon Pavilion.

After learning what had happened, the constables looked at the two troublemakers with displeasure. The constable leader stepped forward and kicked the two men, saying, "So, you two are the ones trying to frame New Moon Pavilion?"

“We didn’t frame Crescent Moon Pavilion.” The man tried to calm himself down and said, “My friend fainted because he ate food from Crescent Moon Pavilion.”

"Now that he's awake, we're kind-hearted and don't want to pursue the responsibility of Crescent Moon Tower anymore, but Boss Chen has had us tied up."

"Alright, since that's how it is, let's wait for the doctor to arrive. If the doctor finds that there's nothing wrong with the food at Crescent Moon Restaurant and it's your own fault, you should know the result."

“No, no,” the man said. “We have urgent business to attend to and need to leave immediately.”

Chen Feng looked at the two of them and said, "The doctor will arrive soon, and it won't take up much of your time."

"We must find out the truth about this matter, otherwise how can we let other guests feel at ease dining at Xinyuelou in the future?"

As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, Murong Chen and Xu Xuan returned: "Chen Feng/Brother Chen, we've brought the doctor."

The doctor, who had been dragged along by Xu Xuan and Murong Chen the whole way, was so angry that he was fuming: "Don't you two little kids know how to care about an old man like me?"

"Hehe." Xu Xuan said without the slightest hint of guilt, "Isn't it because the matter is urgent?"

The doctor glared at Xu Xuan again before turning to Chen Feng with a kind expression and asking, "Mr. Chen, where is that guest who was foaming at the mouth?"

Chen Feng pointed to the two men who were already being held by government officials and said, "These are them."

When the old doctor looked in the direction Chen Feng pointed, he was taken aback, and then said in confusion, "But both of them look fine."

Chen Feng lifted the person who had just fainted up and said to the old doctor, "Doctor, could you please check his pulse?"

"Okay." The old doctor didn't say anything more.
