Dragon Hidden in the Sky

"Didn't you call the police?" Lin Qianyu asked, frowning.

“We dare not call the police. They said if we do, they will kill the hostage,” the old man said with another long sigh.

Beside him, Ye Qing pondered.

Based on their situation, it's highly likely that their son has been tricked.

Then, the other party's real purpose was to get their hands on Xiao Ba Xian's menu.

"That's why we dare not call the police," the old man said. "But this Little Eight Immortals has been passed down from my ancestors. If I hand it over, I would be letting down my ancestors."

Ye Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. I have a question. Before this happened, did anyone come to ask you for the recipe, or even offer a price to buy it?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qianyu and Zhou Tiantian's eyes flickered simultaneously.

Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Grandpa Chen's expression shifted, and he said, "Now that you mention it, there is indeed such a thing. About twenty days ago, a person claiming to be from the Chen family of Donghai City came to Xiao Baxian and said he was willing to buy Xiao Baxian's recipes for ten million yuan!"

At this point, Grandpa Chen said, "But I refused. This is a skill passed down from our ancestors to protect ourselves. I didn't want it to be passed on, otherwise our descendants might not have anything to eat. After a while, this happened."

"The Chen family of Donghai City?" Ye Qing's expression shifted, and he looked at Zhou Tiantian and Lin Qianyu.

“But the Chen family of Donghai… is a powerful and influential family, they shouldn’t do such a thing!” said Grandpa Chen.

“That’s not necessarily true!” Zhou Tiantian said. “As far as I know, the Chen family’s underhanded dealings, including those in business competition, are anything but clean. For example, when someone competes with them for a project, the person or company competing for the project always seems to have some kind of accident happen to them inexplicably.”

Ye Qing touched his chin!

Chen family!

The death of his third senior sister was related to the Chen family.

I never expected that this matter would be related to the Chen family again!

He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Let's eat outside!"

“During this period, whenever someone ate at our shop, they would cause trouble, and gradually no one wanted to come anymore!” he sighed.

"It's okay, we'll just eat outside!" Zhou Tiantian said. "If anyone dares to come, I'll beat them up for you. I'm really tough!"

Grandpa Chen paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's still not safe!"

"Uncle Chen, just focus on your work, we'll eat here!" With that, Zhou Tiantian pulled out a chair and sat down.

Ye Qing and Lin Qianyu followed suit.

Seeing the three insist, Grandpa Chen's expression was complicated, and then he said, "Please wait a moment, I'll get right away!"

It didn't take long; soon enough, the dishes were served!

The so-called "Eight Immortals" actually refers to eight dishes...

Every dish looked delicious and appealed to the eye.

When the dishes were served, Ye Qing took a bite, and his eyes couldn't help but light up!

Ye Qing is actually quite picky about food because when he was in Mangshan, the food he ate was made by his senior brother, who, in Ye Qing's eyes, was the most skilled chef in the world!

Almost every dish he made was absolutely amazing to Ye Qing.

After eating too much, Ye Qing's palate started to become picky.

But this time, he felt that Grandpa Chen's eight dishes were in no way inferior to his senior brother's, and were even better!

"How is it? Delicious, right?" Zhou Tiantian said.

"No wonder!" Ye Qing said, "No wonder the Chen family wanted the recipe. The taste is truly unparalleled. If the Chen family gets the recipe and teaches it more, they could very well turn it into a chain restaurant, with immeasurable value!"

Lin Qianyu said, "Actually, I also talked to Grandpa Chen about this, asking him to take on some apprentices and expand Little Eight Immortals!"

“But Grandpa Chen thinks that once they get bigger, someone will inevitably leak the recipe. Then, if more people know how to cook it, fewer people will come to eat here!” Lin Qianyu said, “They have an exclusive business. Although they may not become rich and powerful, as long as the recipe is passed down, their people will never have to worry about money for the rest of their lives!”

Ye Qing clicked his tongue in amazement. He thought that Grandpa Chen's idea was not bad!

"It's a pity that Grandpa Chen's son doesn't like being a chef," Lin Qianyu said.

"They're here!" Zhou Tiantian's pretty face narrowed slightly.

Ye Qing turned his head and looked over. Sure enough, there were eight or nine people walking over from the other side of the street.

These people looked like thugs at first glance, and they came to Little Eight Immortals!

When Grandpa Chen saw these people, his expression suddenly changed.

After arriving at Xiao Baxian, the group sat down, each occupying a table.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

Then these people started banging on the table repeatedly, making a series of banging sounds!

At the same time, everyone's eyes were fixed on Ye Qing and the other two with a fierce look!

If an ordinary person were to witness this scene, most would likely be shocked and choose to leave.

When Zhou Tiantian saw this group of people, anger flashed across her face. Then, to Ye Qing's surprise, she stood up and said, "What are you doing? Did your mother die at home and you've come here to act like animals?"

"Holy crap!" Ye Qing exclaimed in surprise. He hadn't expected Zhou Tiantian to be so fierce!

After spending the last two days together, he found Zhou Tiantian to be sweet and lovely, and she didn't use any foul language. He never expected that she would be so fiery when she opened her mouth.

Hearing Zhou Tiantian's low growl, those people seemed oblivious, and some even made mocking noises, continuing to bang on the table!

They're just being shameless. Even if you call the police, it won't do any good. At most, they'll drive them away, but they'll come back next time!

Seeing this, Zhou Tiantian was furious. She gritted her teeth, grabbed a plate from the table, and threw it directly at the leader of the group.
