Zheng Xiaoting's work efficiency is still very high. After hearing that Liu Yingying wanted to take her friends to try this store, she immediately called Liu Sihuang.
Liu Sihuang heard that he was Zheng Xiaoting's friend, so he didn't hesitate at all and came to the hotel before ten o'clock.
"Boss Liu?" Bai Mengge poked his head out of the back seat of the car and called.
Liu Sihuang turned around when he heard the sound and looked here with some surprise, only to see Bai Mengge waving at him again.
Liu Sihuang walked over with a puzzled look on his face, only to realize that Liu Yingying, the co-pilot, looked familiar.
"Boss Liu, I am Zheng Xiaoting's sister, do you still remember me?" Liu Yingying said as she opened the car window.
"It turns out that the distinguished guests Xiaoting mentioned are you. Just order whatever you want to eat today and it's all free of charge!" Liu Sihuang greeted warmly.
"Isn't it a little early?" Yue Chen asked apologetically.
"Xiaoting's friend is here. We are open 24 hours a day. Come on, come on, get ready to enter the store." Liu Sihuang turned around to lead the way.
"There are no waiters when it opens so early, right?" Yue Chen looked at the barbecue restaurant.
"The waiters worked until four or five o'clock in the morning this morning before going home to rest. But don't worry, there is a waiter who lives in the hotel. Ask him to greet you. As for the barbecue and other things, I will cook it for you personally. You can rest assured about my skills."
Liu Sihuang patted his chest.
"Is there a waiter living in the store? Do you also provide accommodation here?" Li Kainan asked seemingly casually.
"No, about half a month ago, a fellow villager introduced me to another fellow. He said that he had lost his ID card and had no place to live for the time being. He asked me to help. I think I am really busy here at the end of the year, so I will keep him.
He worked as a handyman in the store, and after the store closed, he was asked to put together chairs to sleep." Liu Sihuang said.
"Oh, that's it. It seems that Boss Liu is really kind-hearted. You will definitely make a lot of money." Yue Chen gave a thumbs up.
"It's not easy for fellow villagers to come to Jinhai City to work. In this case, you park the car first, and I'll wake him up. I'll open the window for ventilation first, and then I'll invite you in after a few minutes of cleaning up." Liu Sihuang finished speaking and went to open the door of the hotel.
Through the open window, you can see that there is indeed a person in the lobby of the store, but the distance is too far to see his face clearly.
"We'll enter the store later. Don't be anxious. We'll arrest you immediately after confirmation." Liu Yingying looked around and prepared to take action.
"Why don't you take two bites first?" Bai Mengge said and his stomach growled, which made the originally tense atmosphere a lot more relaxed.
The four of them came to the hotel and chose a seat closest to the door. They finally saw the suspect's face clearly and confirmed that it was Xiahong.
"Xia Huang, please hurry up and entertain these distinguished guests." Liu Sihuang shouted.
"Xia Huang? Isn't it Xia Hong?" Everyone was beating in their hearts.
"Handsome guy, why do you live in the store?" Bai Mengge tried to strike up a conversation with Xia Huang.
"My brother asked me to come to Jinhai City to work, but I was deceived by a black agency. My money, mobile phone and ID card were all confiscated. I was desperate and came to join Boss Liu," Xia Huang answered.
"Didn't you come to Jinhai City to join your brother? Where is your brother?" Bai Mengge continued to ask.
"Forget it, I lost my phone and can't contact him at all. Let's wait until we have some money after working for a few days before going to them. Going now will only cause trouble for him," Xia Huang said.
"Xia Huang, come here! Bring this drink to the guests first." Liu Sihuang called Xia Huang to the kitchen.
"Isn't this Xia Hong?" Bai Mengge asked doubtfully.
"I have no impression that he has a twin brother, right?" Liu Yingying shook her head.
"Should we arrest him or not?" Bai Mengge asked.
At this moment, Xia Huang came over with a drink.
"Xia Hong!" Yue Chen shouted loudly.
When Xia Huang heard the sound, his body trembled violently.
He stood there stunned for a moment. When he saw the four people who were about to stand up, he threw the drink trays at them, turned around and ran to the kitchen.
"You two go outside and watch out for the back door!" Liu Yingying knocked the flying drink to the ground with her elbow and shouted loudly.
Yue Chen immediately chased after the chef, shouting: "Boss Liu, help!"
Liu Sihuang was busy grilling skewers in the back kitchen. Hearing the movement in the front hall, he was about to walk to the door of the back kitchen to see what was going on. He heard Liu Yingying and Yue Chen shouting twice, and then Xia
Hong came towards me. As soon as Xia Hong passed by, the figures of Yue Chen and Liu Yingying came very fast, one after the other.
"What are you doing?" Liu Sihuang felt a chill in his throat just after he said a word.
In a hurry, Xia Hong picked up the fruit knife and put it against Liu Sihuang's neck.
"Back off!" Xia Hong roared at the two of them.
"Xia Hong, calm down!" Liu Yingying immediately stretched out her right hand.
"Back off!" Xia Hong shouted again, exerting slight force on his hands.
"Okay! Let's retreat, let's retreat! Calm down." Yue Chen said while gesturing to Liu Yingying to retreat together.
"Let the other two people come over too!" Xia Hong said impatiently.
"Okay! I'll call you!" Yue Chen and Liu Yingying looked at each other, then left to call Bai Mengge and the others.
"What's going on?" Bai Mengge and Li Kainan had already heard the sound and approached the hotel.
"You! Just you! Go and open the back door!" Xia Hong pointed the knife at Bai Mengge, and then quickly put it against Liu Sihuang's neck.
"Me?" Bai Mengge pointed at himself with his eyes widened.
"Yes! Just you!" Xia Hong roared.
Amid Xia Hong's vigilance, Bai Mengge slowly moved to the back door, and then gently unlocked the door.
"Open!" Xia Hong yelled.
Bai Mengge followed the instructions and opened the back door.
"Go back!" Under Xia Hong's intimidation, Bai Mengge slowly withdrew from the kitchen.
"Xia Hong, put down the knife now, you still have a chance, don't be stubborn anymore!" Liu Yingying watched Xia Hong holding Liu Sihuang hostage, but did not move to the back door in a hurry.
"No chance! I have already killed one person, and I am not afraid of one more." Xia Hong looked like a desperado.
"Drive your car to the back door!" Xia Hong pointed at Yue Chen and said, he must have seen Yue Chen's car just now.
Yue Chen didn't have a good idea at the moment, so he had to go out and prepare to move the car.
"Leave your cell phone! Hurry up!" Xia Hong stood at the door of the kitchen and supervised Yue Chen's move of the car.
Yue Chen walked towards the car while thinking of countermeasures. After Yue Chen got in the car, he started the car and drove to the back door of the barbecue restaurant.
"Open the car door! Don't turn off the engine! Go back around!" Xia Hong began to move towards the rear door.
Yue Chen had no choice but to retreat far back. The movement here had attracted the attention of surrounding residents, and he didn't know if anyone called the police.
Xia Hong finally took Liu Sihuang hostage to the back door and looked back to see where the vehicle was.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Liu Sihuang took advantage of the moment when Xia Hong looked back and was distracted! He grabbed Xia Hong's wrist and pulled it forward, then arched his back and cursed while exerting force.
Said: "How dare you hold me hostage!"
Before Xia Hong knew what was happening, he saw the ceiling appearing in front of his eyes, and his back fell onto the threshold, making him grimace in pain.
The incident happened so suddenly that Liu Yingying and others were stunned on the spot.
"Come on!" Liu Sihuang grabbed the knife from Xia Hong's hand and shouted to the three people in front of him.
