Chapter 144 The beginning of the dispute (Please subscribe!)

The voice came from a table diagonally opposite Zhang Yunqi. There were four boys sitting at that table. All of them were about 1.8 meters tall and very strong. They looked to be 18 or 19 years old, a bit like students from Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School. However, the expressions on their faces and the way they spoke gave people the feeling of hooligans who were roaming around in society.

The one who said there were cockroaches in the fish meal was a boy with a flat head and a square face. He had been wearing a white short-sleeved shirt since May. The muscles in his arms were very solid. His voice was loud, attracting the attention of everyone in the fish meal shop.

Faced with the emergency, Aunt Zhang ran over to deal with it immediately. She took a look at the half-eaten bowl of fish noodles and a cockroach the size of a middle finger floating on the red chili oil. The smile on her face froze.

At this time, several students who were eating fish meal nearby leaned over to check. When they saw the cockroaches in the fish meal, some put down their chopsticks, some said it was disgusting, some questioned Zhang's mother, and some silently continued eating.

At this time, Aunt Zhang had already reacted. Under everyone's different looks, she smiled awkwardly and said, "Is this a mistake? My shop has always been very hygienic, and there have never been any bugs. But it's a mistake, it's okay, little brother, I'll get you another bowl."

The guy with the flat head lit a cigarette and said, "Change your ass! Explain to me what you mean by mistake."

Zhang Yunqi frowned and was about to get up and go over, but Wang Xiaokai grabbed him and pointed at the boy with the flat head and said, "This guy is called Lei Ming, he's really bad, he's in the same group with Gao Ming."

Zhang Yunqi was stunned. After hearing what Wang Xiaokai said, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard someone mention this person, but he was not a good person.

Although No. 1 Middle School is the best middle school in Jiangchuan City, in the past few years, the school has expanded its enrollment to include all kinds of uneducated people who paid high school construction fees. It is impossible to expect them to study well. Being late for classes, skipping classes and playing games are low-level hobbies, and molesting girls and bullying classmates are commonplace. Lei Ming is obviously a representative of them.

Zhang Yunqi glanced at Wang Xiaokai and asked, "Do you have a grudge against him?"

"kind of."

Wang Xiaokai, who was thick-skinned, suddenly felt a little embarrassed. It was two years ago, but he still remembered it clearly. When he was in the second grade of junior high school, there was an evening self-study get out of class. There were too many people in the stairwell and he accidentally bumped into Lei Ming. Lei Ming was smiling at the time and slapped him in the face with his backhand.

Wang Xiaokai had never been beaten since he was a child, and he was considered a relatively popular person in his small group. However, facing Lei Ming, who was a head taller than him, and the group of domineering senior boys around him in the school, he finally did not fight back. However, this incident made him feel uncomfortable for several days and nights. At that time, many students watched Lei Ming beat him. The feeling was so uncomfortable, just like shitting naked in a crowded street, full of grief and depression.

Sometimes when he met Lei Ming at school, Lei Ming would not even look at him, probably thinking that this little guy was done for. But Wang Xiaokai really wanted to pin this beast to the ground and give him a good beating, but it was just a thought.

Wang Xiaokai knew that Zhang Yunqi and Lei Ming had no intersection and didn't even know each other. It was impossible for there to be any grudge between the two of them, so this matter was a little unclear. He suspected that it was related to Gao Ming because Lei Ming played with Gao Ming.

He knows a lot of people in the No. 1 Middle School in the city. He has a friend who is in the same class with Gao Ming. Last year, he helped Zhang Yunqi to go to Xinglong Electronic Digital City as a host. This friend knows that he and Zhang Yunqi are buddies. He told him the day before yesterday that Gao Ming wanted to get Zhang Yunqi. However, Wang Xiaokai is not sure about this. It is also possible that there are really cockroaches in the fish meal.

As for the fact that he beat Lei Ming, it was too embarrassing for Wang Xiaokai to tell Zhang Yunqi, so he changed the subject and said, "Remember the last time Lin Zihao asked someone to stand up for his cousin? In our class, Lei Ming was one of the people who blocked the door and beat up Zou Zheng and Yu Renli. I think today's incident might also be directed at you."

Zhang Yunqi said nothing. He glanced at a camera installed directly above him and said to Wang Xiaokai, "I'm going to the cubicle. Please help me keep an eye on the situation."

After saying that, Zhang Yunqi stood up and walked to the compartment at the back of the living room. On a wooden table in the compartment was a surveillance camera that had been installed a few days ago.

Zhang Yunqi didn't expect the situation to be useful so soon. He opened the surveillance footage, stepped back and took a look, and he felt relieved.

He arrived at the restaurant and Lei Ming and his gang were still making a noise.

Chu Jian had also arrived at this time. She had finished her homework and came over to have lunch. She didn't know what had happened. She just saw so many people gathered in the store. Aunt Zhang and Brother Yunfeng were arguing with a few tall and strong boys who looked like students but exuded the temperament of young men. Her mother was standing next to them with an anxious look on her face. The atmosphere in the fish meal shop was particularly tense.

When she first saw him, she subconsciously wanted to find Zhang Yunqi, but she didn't find him in the fish meal shop. Seeing that Zhang's mother was talking with her hands on her chest and her fingers were shaking, she hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and persuaded Zhang's mother to go to a seat inside the restaurant, talking to her and comforting her.

When I first met her, I knew that Zhang's mother was in poor health and couldn't stand being bullied.

While talking to Zhang Ma, not long after, Chu Jian saw Zhang Yunqi walking out of the cubicle. She didn't know why, but her troubled heart suddenly calmed down a lot.

Zhang Yunqi walked straight to Lei Ming's group. Zhang Yunfeng next to him was arguing with them. To him, this was not a matter of a cockroach and a bowl of fish meal. He could just make a new bowl of fish meal. This was a matter of the reputation of the entire fish meal shop.

Now there are so many students watching. If it is confirmed that there are cockroaches in the fish meal and this gets out, the reputation of his store will be ruined, so he is so stubborn.

"I'll say it again, there can't be cockroaches in fish meal. I clean the kitchen every day before opening and closing, and no bugs have ever come in. In addition, the ingredients are all fresh from the market, so there can't be cockroaches. Even if there were, I wouldn't have missed such a big one. Forget about your bowl of fish meal. I don't want to argue with you anymore. I'll make it for you again."

Lei Ming had a very good mentality. Whether from his expression or his posture, he did not look like a high school student at all. He pointed at the remaining half bowl of fish meal and asked the key question: "Where did the cockroaches in my bowl come from?"

"Yes, the facts are in front of us. There is no point talking about those things. Boss, please explain the matter clearly." Several boys in the same group as the tall guy questioned Zhang Yunfeng.

Zhang Yunfeng's dark face flushed red. How could this matter be explained clearly without any evidence?

However, when he thought of this, his slow-reacting brain suddenly remembered something. The store had just installed a surveillance system a few days ago. Yes! The truth could be found out with surveillance, but he didn't know how to operate it. He patted Zhang Yunqi next to him and said, "Yunqi, go adjust that surveillance..."

"Brother, go ahead and do your work. I'll talk to them."

Zhang Yunqi interrupted Zhang Yunfeng and signaled him with his eyes. The two brothers had a tacit understanding. Zhang Yunfeng trusted his younger brother very much, so he stopped talking and let him handle it.

Zhang Yunqi turned his head to look at Lei Ming and his group, and immediately said with a smile: "Sorry, I'm really sorry that this happened. In any case, this is the fish meal shop's mistake. How about this, I'll make you another one?"

Zhang Yunqi's attitude was very gentle and his tone was very sincere. Compared with Zhang Yunfeng, his attitude took a 180-degree turn. The students who were watching felt that this young man was a sensible person and they felt good about him.

Lei Ming stared at Zhang Yunqi for a long time before saying, "You're talking about making another one? Your fish meal is enough to make me sick of last night's meal. Do you think I can still eat it?"

Zhang Yunqi still smiled: "It's okay if you don't want to eat. We can discuss it. Anyway, this matter is our fault. We are fully responsible. I apologize for the trouble I have caused you."

"Will an apology be useful?" A tall and thin boy next to Lei Ming said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "The incident has already happened. There is no point in saying these empty words."

"That's right, that's right." Zhang Yunqi immediately took out thirty yuan from his pocket and put it on the table: "This little money is a little compensation from the fish meal shop."

Lei Ming glanced at the money on the table: "Thirty? To pay off a beggar?"

Zhang Yunqi asked with a smile: "How much compensation do you want?"

Lei Ming ordered a Furong Wang cigarette: "You decide."

Zhang Yunqi took out an old man's head and placed it on the dining table.

Lei Ming didn't even look at it.

So Zhang Yunqi took out another old man's head and placed it on the dining table.

Lei Ming still had no intention of speaking.

When Zhang Yunqi placed an old man's head on the dining table for the third time, Zhang Yunfeng, who had been calm all along, believed that Yunqi could handle the matter, but he could not hold back after seeing this scene. He pulled Zhang Yunqi and said, "What are you doing? Even if there are cockroaches in the fish meal, it is our fault. Do we need to pay so much money?"

"It's okay, brother. It's okay to lose some money. You can earn it again if you lose it, but you still have to admit your mistakes." Zhang Yunqi pulled Zhang Yunfeng, smiled and put an old man's head on the dining table for the fourth time, and asked Lei Ming: "This should be enough, right?"

"Not bad." Lei Ming grabbed the four hundred and thirty yuan on the dining table, glanced at Zhang Yunqi, and went out with a group of people with a Furong King in his mouth.

Although Lei Ming and his group left, the atmosphere in the fish meal shop seemed even more depressing. After the incident, no one in the shop was eating fish meal anymore. Those who were watching the fun left in twos and threes. Chu Jian's mother Jiang Feng quietly cleaned up the dishes. Zhang's mother sat in the restaurant with a bad look on her face. Chu Jian and Wang Xiaokai were talking to her. Zhang Yunfeng puffed on his cigarette and asked Zhang Yunqi, "Yunqi, what do you think?"

"I'll take care of something and come back to talk to you right away." Zhang Yunqi walked out the door directly.

He had not walked a few steps when he saw Lei Ming and his gang standing on the side of the road. They were saying to two girls who seemed to know each other and were going to eat fish meal at Zhangji Qifengdu Fish Meal Shop: "Go to Zhangji to eat fish meal. I advise you not to go there. The fish meal we had just had there had cockroaches in it."

One of the girls was stunned and said, "Really? This is too disgusting. I used to eat fish noodles at Zhangji every day just because it tasted good. Now I will never go there again. Xiaoli, let's go to another noodle shop."

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yunqi lit a cigarette, took two puffs, then turned and walked to a public telephone booth not far away.

Insert the coin, pick up the phone and dial 110.

The call was connected quickly. A female police officer on duty asked Zhang Yunqi what was the matter in a gentle voice.

Zhang Yunqi said: "I am the owner of Zhangji Qifengdu Fish Powder Shop opposite the gate of No. 430 Middle School. My name is Zhang Yunqi. I want to report a crime. Someone just defrauded yuan in my shop."
