“So fast?” Su Yayan was shocked. She thought that it would take at least three to four days to find the mastermind.
“It’s not that fast. These people have been looking for trouble with you for a few days. There are loopholes everywhere, and you can easily find them. Furthermore, even though the situation this time looks grand, it’s actually not that brilliant.”
Su Yayan thought about it and realized that it was true. Although the other party had tried to use public opinion to tarnish the reputation of their shop, they had not bribed the inspectors. Or rather, they did not have the ability to bribe them.
“Who is it?”
“He’s the manager of a high-end restaurant. His name is Liu Dachui.”
“Liu Dachui?”
Su Yayan was surprised not only because the name was too ordinary, but also because she had some impression of him.
Liu Dachui was originally one of the villains. He ran a high-class restaurant called Man Lou Xiang.
This restaurant’s business in City A was not bad, and the reason it had provoked Wen Jingping was that the few home-cooked dishes that Wen Jingping cooked during her livestream coincided with the few dishes in the restaurant.
Because of this, the business of their restaurant was inevitably affected. Liu Dachui also believed that the recipes of his chef had been leaked by someone.
On the other hand, Wen Jingping was the pawn of the mastermind who wanted to destroy their restaurant. If they allowed her to continue livestreaming, the business in the restaurant would be ruined by her.
Because of this, Liu Dachui started to plot against Wen Jingping.
However, from this extremely perfunctory name, one could tell that this was the villainous little boss that the author had arranged for the protagonist to be a whetstone and a stepping stone.
Liu Dachui’s actions quickly alerted Huo Shaofeng. Not only did it not affect Wen Jingping’s livestream career, it even caused her to reap the consequences of her own actions. She successfully helped Wen Jingping gain the sympathy of a bunch of passersby, further increasing her reputation.
Now, because of her, the livestream platform chose her decisively to ban Wen Jingping during their battle.
Coupled with Wen Jingping’s previous dirty tricks, Su Yayan successfully seized some opportunities that belonged to the female lead.
This little villain’s target turned from Wen Jingping to… her?
“A high-end restaurant? Does he think I stole his business?”
“I think so.”
“He hired the fake reviewers online, and he wrote the letter of complaint?”
“Mm.”
“Do you have evidence?”
“Yes.” Huo Chenhuan added, “He bribed those troublemakers and purposely came to your shop to cause trouble. The evidence has been found.”
Su Yayan turned to glance at Huo Chenhuan. He sounded like he was asking for praise.
At the thought of this, she immediately let out an exaggerated scream. “Really? Hubby, you’re really amazing! How could you dig out such a secret so quickly?”
Huo Chenhuan shuddered, and the blush on his face spread from his neck to the back of his ears.
“These are just basic investigations. It’s not that exaggerated.”
Su Yayan watched as Huo Chenhuan turned his head slightly to avoid eye contact with her. Then she realized that he was… shy?
This thought made Su Yayan burst into laughter, but she had to suppress her laughter.
If she could not hold back her laughter, he would fly into a rage out of humiliation. Then she would not be able to see such a cute side of him in the future!
