Soul Patch

Chapter 168 Poisoned

Li Shiman seemed completely unconcerned about Wenjie's terrible attitude towards her, and still took his arm, preparing to enter the restaurant with him.

Wenjie immediately shook off his outstretched hand, as if it were some kind of poison that would kill him if he touched it.

At this time, many colleagues had already eaten dinner. Despite the fact that three employees of Huahai International had been murdered in succession that morning, causing everyone to feel insecure and uneasy, the situation remained unchanged.

When it's mealtime, people still come down to eat in twos and threes.

These people did nothing all morning but gather together to chat and make all sorts of guesses. Normally, their direct supervisor would keep an eye on their conversations.

Today is even better; even the leaders have joined the conversation.

As Wenjie walked into the restaurant, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit... a bit too lively.

He had never been to Huahai's restaurant before, but at the General Administration, he ate in the canteen every day at noon. After a long morning of work, colleagues would gather together, eat, and chat, which became the only pastime of the day.

But today, with such explosive gossip to gossip about, the atmosphere at Huahai's restaurant is really getting heated!

Wenjie walked and looked around; the window to his right was the main dining area.

Fried pancakes, fried noodles, rice, steamed buns, dumplings.

The next area is for soups: small portions of egg drop soup, West Lake beef soup, hot and sour soup, pork rib soup, and seaweed soup, all lined up in a row.

Of course, the food section is the most fragrant, with no less than ten kinds of dishes served in stainless steel insulated containers, prepared by frying, stir-frying, cooking, and combining meat and vegetables.

In addition, there are also stir-fry area, snack area and fruit and drink area.

The snack area even sells hot and sour noodles, mala tang, and clam noodles. Don't you think Huahai International's canteen is going too far? Making the restaurant so lavish, letting employees eat to their hearts' content, and then sitting at their desks all afternoon, slowly turning them into fat people.

When people are hungry, they find delicious food especially appealing. Wenjie turned his head slightly and saw Li Shiman, who was a step away from him. He beckoned to her with his finger:

"come over"

Li Shiman obediently stuck to him.

Wenjie stopped her just in time, reaching for her neck, just as Li Shiman opened her mouth with a smile: "What..."

He had already taken off the name tag that Li Shiman was wearing around her neck.

Li Shiman turned away angrily and refused to look at Wenjie.

Wenjie swiped his card to order rice and two dishes, then returned the employee badge to Li Shiman: "Just swipe your card to eat whatever you want!"

Li Shiman pursed her lips, acting as if she were quite generous, but in reality, she was just swiping someone else's card.

"Come with me, I want to order a stir-fry!" Li Shiman said coquettishly.

"Why order stir-fries? We don't have time to wait. Let's finish eating quickly, we have things to do!"

"I want to eat that and that too, can you wash them for me?"

……

After some effort, they managed to get both of their meals to the dining area, and the two sat facing each other at the table.

"Mr. Wen, let's go wash our hands together!"

"roll"

"Humph"

Li Shiman swayed her hips as she walked towards the restroom, a faint smile on her face.

She walked to the restroom door, turned her head and looked to her left. The passageway there connected to the restaurant staff passage. Every now and then, chefs in white lab coats would pull out trash, and some ingredients would be transported to the kitchen work area.

A sly smile appeared on her face.

Wenjie shoveled a few mouthfuls of rice into his stomach, and as he picked up his chopsticks to pick up some food, he glanced in the direction of the bathroom.

He looked down at his watch, and suddenly stopped chewing his food.

Damn! This kid did all sorts of disgusting things the whole way, it turns out he was deliberately trying to annoy people so he could slip away!

Wenjie rushed to the restroom and asked a female employee who had just come out if she had seen General Manager Li from the Public Relations Department.

The other party shook his head blankly, clearly not having seen the General Manager Li that Wenjie had mentioned.

Wenjie looked around and found a passageway on his left that led to the kitchen area. He guessed that going through this area would lead to the main entrance of the restaurant.

He was about to run towards the alley when he caught a glimpse of a female employee who had just come out. She was hurrying towards the restaurant's main entrance, glancing sideways as she went.

Something sneaky must be up to no good!

He quickly chased after the female employee, who wasn't stupid either; she was already keeping an eye on Wenjie's movements.

Hearing the whooshing sound of running wind coming towards him from behind, the other person immediately took off running!

Wenjie suddenly exerted his strength, moving with lightning speed, and caught up with her in the blink of an eye, kicking the female employee to the ground.

This guy's skills aren't just about changing his shape, he also... he can throw a tantrum.

She tore her clothes in a few quick movements and shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Help! This is indecent assault!"

Wenjie was furious. The patched carrier 2, barely clothed, was lying in front of him. If he went up to it, he would be considered a hooligan.

Wenjie gave a cold laugh, rushed over and kicked him right in the chest.

"Cough cough cough..." The man on the ground, who had been making a scene, was spitting blood and clutching his chest, unable to lift his head for a long time.

"Shout! Why aren't you shouting anymore?"

The man coughing up blood on the ground looked around. The dining area was almost empty, with only a few people scattered around. They glanced curiously at Wen Jie, but when they saw that it was the young master Wen, they were all intimidated by the prospect of losing their jobs and pretended to ignore him.

One or two people witnessed the whole thing and started whispering again: "He clearly tore it himself. That shameless young master Wen is a scoundrel. These days, young girls are going to such extremes to snag a rich husband!"

"What do you think? If you marry him, you won't have to work hard for the rest of your life. What's a little tearing of a piece of clothing?"

"That's right, that's right! If Young Master Wen can handle this, why not give him tens of thousands of yuan? It's a huge profit!"

Seeing that Patch Carrier 2 had been kicked quite hard and couldn't get up for a while, Wenjie squatted down and went over to him: "Where exactly is Li Shiman? If you try anything again, watch out..."

Wenjie made a throat-slitting gesture; he was genuinely considering killing this guy. In any case, killing someone in the system would result in a reasonable death in reality, such as being struck by lightning, jumping off a building, or jumping into a river.

Didn't I almost jump off a building myself?

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Wenjie's eyes, and he roughly pulled up the "female employee" who was slumped on the ground.

He practically carried her halfway as he walked towards the stairs.

"It's no use! Li Shiman is in the murderer's hands!"

The female employee vomited another mouthful of blood and said weakly.

Who is the murderer?

"I have no idea!"

"Are you still not being honest?!"

"Mr. Wen, I really didn't know. The murderer used the setting and had the assistant say it..."

"What did you say?" Wenjie shoved him against the wall like a madman. Bang! Patch Carrier 2's head hit the wall.

He didn't even blink.

Didn't that hit hurt?

Just as Wenjie was wondering what was going on, Patch Carrier 2 vomited another mouthful of blood...

No, this isn't about the punch he just received; he seems to have been poisoned!
