Chapter 260 The mastermind behind the scenes
If it weren't for Li Sheng and Li Jiaojiao, they wouldn't have been arrested by the government officials, and might even have been beheaded.
"That Mr. Li is so vicious. He said he would give us a lot of money if we could successfully frame New Moon Tower this time." Now they haven't received the money, and their lives are about to end.
Naturally, they wished they could throw all the blame on Li Sheng and Li Jiaojiao.
Chen Feng knew that things might not be as the two people said, but the fact remained that Li Sheng and Li Jiaojiao wanted to frame Xinyuelou.
Xu Xuan couldn't help but grit his teeth. He originally thought that after eliminating the Li family, the father and daughter wouldn't dare to cause any more trouble. However, he didn't expect that instead of harassing Chen Feng, they wanted to destroy the New Moon Tower.
Xu Xuan now felt that simply confiscating the Li family's shops seemed too lenient, leaving them with no incentive to continue doing these things.
The two men looked at Chen Feng with hopeful expressions and said, "Boss Chen, can you please let us go?"
"When did I say I was going to let you go?" Chen Feng looked down at the two of them.
"What?" The man was stunned. "You clearly said..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man's voice lowered, because he remembered that Chen Feng had indeed never said he would let them go. Chen Feng had only asked them who the mastermind was, and it was their own wishful thinking that Chen Feng wanted to let them go.
The two were filled with despair and regret. This time they were really finished. It was all Li Sheng and Li Jiaojiao's fault.
Chen Feng looked at the two men being led away by the arresting officer, his expression cold.
Although the real masterminds behind this incident were Li's father and Li Jiaojiao, these two were also involved in the matter. He would not let Li's father and Li Jiaojiao off the hook, but he would not let these two people off the hook either.
After the two were taken away, Chen Feng turned to the guests who were still discussing the matter and said, "This happened at Xinyuelou today. Although it was because someone framed us, I, as the owner of Xinyuelou, am deeply sorry for the delay in your dining experience."
"It has been decided that all guests dining at Crescent Moon Restaurant today will have their meals free of charge."
After Chen Feng finished speaking, the hall fell silent, and the group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.
They had all witnessed what happened today. Not only did it have nothing to do with New Moon Pavilion, but New Moon Pavilion almost suffered damage to its reputation because of this incident. However, Chen Feng only considered that he had wasted their time and even waived their money.
Immediately, everyone's face showed more or less guilt, for their initial suspicion of Crescent Moon Tower.
Unconsciously, the reputation of Crescent Moon Pavilion rose to another level.
That wasn't all. Chen Feng not only waived the fees for all the guests dining today, but also gave them several of Crescent Moon Restaurant's signature dishes for free.
Chen Feng instructed the waiter to treat the guests well, and then took Xu Xuan and Murong Chen to the Li family.
At this moment, Li Jiaojiao, with a worried expression, said to her father, "Father, why haven't those two people returned yet? Could they have failed?"
“Impossible.” Mr. Li said confidently, “They are the people I have been selecting for a long time, there is no way I could fail.”
"Just wait for the good news that Crescent Moon Tower will go bankrupt." As he spoke, a sinister smile appeared on Li's father's face.
He only wanted to marry his daughter to Chen Feng, but Chen Feng not only rejected him and Li Jiaojiao, he rejected them several times.
Afterwards, they even had Xu Xuan destroy all their shops.
Mr. Li didn't think there was anything wrong with his shop selling inferior goods; instead, he blamed everything on Chen Feng and Xu Xuan.
There are plenty of shops that sell inferior goods as superior ones. He had only done so a few times and evaded taxes, but he hadn't been discovered for so long. If it weren't for Xu Xuan and Chen Feng, his shop would have been fine.
However, he couldn't do anything to Xu Xuan, so he shifted his focus to Chen Feng. No matter how big Xinyuelou became, it was still just a restaurant, and Chen Feng was just a small restaurant owner. All of his arrogance came from Xinyuelou. He wanted to see if Chen Feng could still be arrogant if Xinyuelou disappeared.
The most important thing for a restaurant is its reputation, so Li's father specially hired those two people to frame New Moon Restaurant. Once the reputation is gone, New Moon Restaurant will not be able to open, and Chen Feng will no longer have the confidence to be arrogant.
Mr. Li did not believe that the two men would fail. They had done so many bad things and had only been arrested once, so they must have their own methods. Therefore, Mr. Li specially spent a lot of money to hire the two men.
Li Jiaojiao casually threw something down. Although her father said that, for some reason, she still felt uneasy.
Seeing Li Jiaojiao like this, her father comforted her, "Daughter, don't worry, this matter is absolutely foolproof, they will be here in a little while."
“I can’t do anything to Xu Xuan, but I can still bring down Chen Feng.” Li’s father’s face was full of ugliness.
Li Jiaojiao comforted herself, telling herself that her father was right and that the matter would definitely succeed, but... "What if people find out that we were the ones who did it?"
“No,” Mr. Li said. “Even if this doesn’t work out, I promised them so much money. Even if it’s just for the money, they won’t tell anyone about us.”
But what he didn't know was that as soon as the truth came out, those two people couldn't wait to betray him.
Just as Mr. Li finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Mr. Li stood up and said happily, "They must have succeeded and come back to tell us the good news."
Li Jiaojiao and her father went to open the door, but what they saw was not the person they expected to be there to report good news, but Xu Xuan and Chen Feng, whom she would never have imagined, as well as another person she did not recognize.
"How could it be you?!" Mr. Li exclaimed in disbelief.
"Long time no see." Xu Xuan looked at Li's father and said, "Are you disappointed that you didn't see your accomplices?"
Although Li's father didn't know why these three people were here, he knew it couldn't be anything good.
Mr. Li tried to calm my employee down, and he pretended to be angry: "Young Master Xu, I don't know what Jiaojiao and I did to offend you, but you not only made us close down the shop, but now you're here, do you think losing the shop isn't enough?"
“Yes.” Xu Xuan nodded directly and said, “Originally, I was planning to just let your shop go, but now, I don’t think so anymore.”
"After all, this is a bit too light for you." Xu Xuan's face was full of nonchalant expression.
"You!" Mr. Li didn't expect Xu Xuan to say that. "Young Master Xu, don't go too far."
"I have no grudge against you..."
