Chapter 236 Reporting the Crescent Moon Tower

Upon hearing what the waiter said, Murong Yunhai instantly had an idea: "Do you think the stuff there is laced with narcotics, like opium, something addictive?"

"The boss must be right, otherwise why would he want to eat it on the first day and again on the second?" The waiter agreed, convinced that this was the case.

"But even if he released marijuana, what can we do? We have no evidence." Murong Yunhai's thought vanished instantly, feeling utterly useless.

"Boss, don't you know there's something called an inspector? We just need to tell him to check it out. After all, this stuff is illegal and can't be leaked. If it exists, how can his shop stay open?" The young waiter, with a mischievous idea in mind, said this to Murong Yunhai.

“Yes, you’re right, but we can’t handle this ourselves. Here, take this money. Find someone reliable, but don’t tell them your name. Ask them to report New Moon Tower.” Murong Yunhai felt he couldn’t expose himself, as it would be bad if someone came looking for him. So he took some money from his assistant and asked him to handle it.

"Okay, boss, I'll go right away after I finish what I'm doing."

"What work are you doing? What other work is there to do? There aren't any customers yet. Go now." Murong Yunhai was a little anxious when he heard the young waiter say that he should finish his work first. Of course, the sooner the better.

"Okay, boss, I'll go right away." The waiter took the money and went out. On the way, he found a man who did dirty work for others and gave him some money. "Go and report Crescent Moon Restaurant now. Tell them that their food is mixed with something addictive, which is marijuana. Go and report them quickly. This is your money as a reward."

When the man heard about this incredible opportunity, he realized that he usually risked his life to earn so much money, and now he could get all that money just by reporting someone. He thought it was a great opportunity. "Are you sure? As long as I report someone, all this money will be mine."

"Yes, as long as you report it, all the money is yours. But the sooner the better, and you must say that you reported it yourself, without implicating us."

"I understand." With that, he went to report it.

Then the officers and soldiers went to Mingyue Tower.

The Crescent Moon Tower was packed with people, so they were all surprised to see soldiers arrive. They were having a good meal, so why were soldiers coming?

When the officers and soldiers saw that Mingyue Tower was full of people, they immediately felt that this matter was very likely true, otherwise why would there be so many people?

So he randomly grabbed someone and asked them.

"How many times have you come here?"

The man panicked when he saw that they were soldiers. "I... I've been here for many days, five days in a row."

Hearing his answer, the officers and soldiers believed it to be true and went to ask the next person, "And you?"

"Reporting to your Excellency, I have been eating here for four days."

The soldier felt a jolt of fear; it must be true.

At this moment, the waiter came over and asked, "Are you here to eat? But not now. All the people who want to eat are waiting outside. There's a queue. We don't have any seats right now. As you can see, there are so many people waiting outside."

“No, we’re not here to eat. We suspect there’s marijuana in your food,” the soldier said firmly.

“No, how could we possibly have marijuana in here? You can't be kidding me,” the waiter reassured him. How could their food possibly contain marijuana?

The soldier's words shocked the surrounding customers, who demanded an explanation. After all, some of them had been eating it for days; what if they became addicted? They knew it was no good, and addiction could lead to financial ruin.

“Call your boss out.” So he called He Fei out.

Hearing the commotion, Li Dayi came out. He saw people outside discussing the presence of marijuana in his dishes and became very angry. He said to the soldiers, "You said there's marijuana in my dishes."

"Yes, someone reported that there was marijuana in the food here. I also asked around and found that several people have been coming to eat here for several days in a row. I suspect the same thing."

Li Dayi instantly wanted to argue with him, accusing him of having marijuana in his food. "Are you kidding me?" he thought. "I supervised the preparation of all these dishes myself, how could there be marijuana?"

He Fei stopped the impulsive Li Dayi and ordered the soldiers to check if there was marijuana in the dishes on the tables. The soldiers sent someone who knew about medicinal herbs to taste the dishes.

The man picked up his chopsticks and went to any random table, grabbing a few bites. He almost couldn't stop. He knew perfectly well whether there was marijuana in the dishes—obviously not—but he had never tasted such delicious food before, so he resisted the urge to eat. However, he needed to report to his superiors quickly so he could go home and bring his family to this restaurant. After all, it was a rare and wonderful place, with nice decor and such delicious food.

"Reporting to you, sir, there is no marijuana in this dish. In fact, it is exceptionally delicious, absolutely wonderful," said the man sent to check for marijuana.

"If there's no marijuana, then the person who reported this is doing it on purpose." The soldier was very angry; someone had actually made a false accusation.

"May I ask, sir, who is the person who made the false accusation?" He Fei heard that someone had reported her, and she wanted to know who that person was and who was trying to oppose her.

"I'm sorry, Ms. He, that person has already left. We don't remember his name or what he looks like."

"Oh, then forget it. But since you're here today, and we've only been open for a few days, why don't you gentlemen come in, have a seat, and try our food? It'll help dispel the rumors about marijuana." He Fei felt that she needed to increase the popularity of her shop, and these soldiers were the perfect people to welcome her.

"Alright, since Miss has said so, we'll stay and try it." These soldiers had heard the man who tested the marijuana say that the food here was delicious, and they were curious to see if it was really as good as he said, so they stayed.

He Fei quickly called over the waiters to entertain them, and told them not to accept money from the soldiers, but to treat it as a free meal for them. After all, having connections with the government would make doing business easier.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers had all stayed to eat, the people eating there were relieved and began to praise Chen Feng's Crescent Moon Pavilion even more.
