Chapter 1211: Chapter 1210 Is it pretentious? You’ll find out soon! (1st update)

The surrounding diners were still devouring the medicinal cuisine laced with poppy, as if they were savoring a once-in-a-century delicacy.

Ye Haochuan finally understood why so many people would eat this medicinal cuisine at the cost of their image. It was clear they were having drug withdrawal symptoms and desperately needed the drug to ease their discomfort.

”All of you, stop right there! Do you even know what you’re eating? That’s drugs — you’re taking drugs, do you understand?” Ye Haochuan shouted furiously.

The diners were slightly stunned, casting a glance at him as if he were an idiot, then buried their heads back into eating.

”Boss Ye, this is your fault!” Manager Song suddenly walked out with Secretary Li in his arms, speaking with a smug tone, ”Just because our business is doing better than yours, doesn’t mean you can make up lies to slander our Su Family.”

”Fortunately, our customers have keen eyes. If you incited them to misunderstand our Su Family, I’d have to sue you for defamation!”

Ye Haochuan glanced coldly at Manager Song, eyes filled with murderous intent.

”Where is Su Manni? Tell her to get out here now!”

He didn’t want to waste time with such minor characters; he wanted to ask Su Manni if she abandoned basic moral standards just to win over Xiao Haimei.

Before Manager Song could speak, Secretary Li sneered, ”Chairman Su is extremely busy; not just anyone can meet her. Do you even realize your own status?”

”Exactly, if any Tom, Dick, or Harry could bother Chairman Su, she’d be overwhelmed. Whatever issues you have, just discuss them with me!” Manager Song said arrogantly.

Although he fancied himself as Su Manni’s confidant, he was clearly unaware of the feud between Su Manni and Ye Haochuan. If he knew that the Chairman he spoke of was trying every way to pursue Ye Haochuan, he might not dare to speak like that.

”Fine, I don’t mind beating you up before I get to her!”

Ye Haochuan grabbed Manager Song by the collar and lifted his over-two-hundred-pound frame right off the ground.

His anger had already reached a boiling point, and Manager Song’s tone was like signing his own death warrant.

Manager Song’s face turned slightly pale. He had seen Ye Haochuan’s fighting skills from a distance earlier, but experiencing it firsthand was quite different.

However, he didn’t come out totally unprepared. He steadied himself slightly and said, ”I know you’re not an ordinary person, but if you attack me, a mere mortal, I promise you won’t escape the consequences.”

Clearly, Manager Song was very familiar with the rules for cultivators, trying to restrain Ye Haochuan with the principle that ”cultivators must not harm mortals.”

But unfortunately, Ye Haochuan was no ordinary cultivator.

”I naturally wouldn’t strike a regular mortal. But for someone like you, who aids evil and disregards people’s health, you deserve a beating!”

Ye Haochuan snorted, throwing a punch.

”Stop!” Just as the punch was about to meet Manager Song’s fat head, a loud shout came from the doorway.

Ye Haochuan turned to see a middle-aged, balding fat man glaring at him with fury. Judging by the man’s attire, he was likely from the Xuanmen Inspection Team.

The fat man waddled over, shouting as he walked, ”Such audacity! As a cultivator, you dare to strike a mortal with such force, disregarding the Xuanmen Codex! With all the evidence at hand, why don’t you surrender immediately?”

The fat man’s cultivation was not high, only at the Innate Realm, but his position in the inspection team made him fearless of Ye Haochuan, a Foundation Establishment expert.

”You’ve only seen me about to hit someone. Why not ask why I was hitting them?” Ye Haochuan snorted.

The fat man had appeared so timely, it was hard not to suspect a prearrangement.

And indeed, the fat man and Manager Song were likely already in cahoots, one provoking Ye Haochuan, the other appearing at a critical moment to gather so-called evidence.

The fat man walked to Manager Song’s side and smiled at him, ”Victim, tell us why he wanted to hit you?”

Manager Song’s face was as white as paper, with a faint scent of urine emanating from his lower body. When Ye Haochuan threw that punch earlier, he felt like he had seen the Grim Reaper. Although saved at the last moment, he was drained of all strength.

The fat man seemed quite ”patient,” gently patting Manager Song’s back, ”No worries, speak freely. With us from the inspection team, we’ll ensure justice!”

Trembling, Manager Song exchanged a glance with Yang Quan, then slowly said, ”He’s from the opposite medicinal cuisine shop. Their business isn’t as good as ours, so he came to our shop to cause trouble.

He even defamed us, saying we used bad substances in our cooking. When the customers didn’t believe him, he got angry and wanted to hit me. Sir, you must ensure justice for me!”

As Manager Song spoke, tears and snot flowed down, as if he’d suffered great injustice.

”Nonsense, I was hitting you because you put poppy in the medicinal cuisine!”

Ye Haochuan snorted coldly, turning to the fat man, ”Since you’re from the inspection team, you should be responsible for the public’s safety. They’re adding harmful substances to the cuisine, and you’re ignoring it?”

”What harmful substances? This medicinal cuisine shop has always operated honestly under our team’s supervision. Don’t fabricate stories just because your business lags behind theirs!” the fat man snapped lightly.

”Ha!” Ye Haochuan laughed coldly, ”I thought the inspection team would be free of the corruption seen in the secular world, but I see there are still leeches like you. How much did the Su Family pay you to turn a blind eye?”

The fat man’s face darkened, ”Kid, do you know the crime for slandering the inspection team like this?”

”Whether it’s slander or not, someone will come to verify!” Ye Haochuan snorted and took out his phone, calling Long Xiaotian.

”Brother Long, what’s the penalty for an inspection team member abusing their power?”

”What’s going on?” Long Xiaotian’s voice turned serious.

Ye Haochuan recounted how the Su Family Medicinal Cuisine Shop was adding poppy to the cuisine and how the inspection team was covering it up.

”Damn, there’s always a rotten apple wherever you go. Hold on, I’ll send someone to investigate!” Long Xiaotian snorted coldly and ended the call.

As a senior member of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect, even if the inspection team wasn’t under his jurisdiction, he had the authority to restrain the offenders and impose appropriate penalties.

”Hmph, putting on airs!” The fat man, unaware of Ye Haochuan’s background, feigned calmness despite feeling a bit uneasy.

”You’ll soon find out if it’s just a show!” Ye Haochuan said coldly.
