Upon seeing this unusual situation.

Lu Ke immediately supported him, asking worriedly, "Deputy Zhang, what's wrong?"

"Ouch... it hurts... it hurts so much... my stomach hurts so much..."

Zhang Moqian twisted his body and wailed.

In the blink of an eye, his entire back was completely soaked.

He could hardly even sit steadily, nearly collapsing to the ground.

"Oh dear, what's going on, Deputy Zhang? You were fine when you arrived, how did just a bite of the food here turn you like this?"

Chen Fang saw this.

He exaggeratedly approached and asked.

These words frightened Zhu Qinghuan terribly.

Standing there, he was suddenly at a loss.

He had just been boasting about the food being fine.

And now it backfired.

Zhang Moqian naturally would never admit it.

He forced himself to sit up, gritted his teeth, and took a breath, saying, "It's an old problem, nothing to worry about, it'll get better soon."

"Is that so? Deputy Zhang, I studied traditional Chinese medicine, let me check your pulse."

After finishing.

Chen Fang placed two fingers on his pulse.

Suddenly shouted.

"Deputy Zhang, you have food poisoning, and it's very severe. If it gets worse, you might lose your life. Is your lower abdomen feeling like it's being cut with a knife, are your muscles sore, and even your chest somewhat stabbing? If so, I'm not mistaken."

Chen Fang's expression was extremely exaggerated.

It was obviously an act.

At that moment.

Zhang Moqian seemed to have realized something, asking, "Did you poison me?"

Chen Fang shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Deputy Zhang, you can't speak recklessly. Everyone just saw that you ate the food on the table, which caused this effect. If there's poison, it must be Zhu Qinghuan, right?"

"No, no, no, I didn't poison, how could I poison?"

Zhu Qinghuan immediately defended himself upon hearing this.

But Chen Fang didn't care at all.

He leaned towards Zhang Moqian's ear.

And whispered, "Deputy Zhang, this poison is quite potent, even at the hospital there's no cure. Maybe half an hour at most before you meet the King of Hell. Don't worry, I will definitely hold Zhu Qinghuan responsible then, and of course, I will attend your funeral and place a small red flower for you."

These words.

Frightened the pain-stricken Zhang Moqian to his soul.

He never expected Chen Fang to use such a despicable method.

As Chen Fang said.

Even if he really died, no one would suspect him, the Mayor.

After all, if word got out that the Mayor poisoned someone, no one would believe it.

Moreover, today he came here voluntarily and chose to eat the leftovers. Even if it was pursued later, the only one to take the blame would be Zhu Qinghuan, and it would have nothing to do with Chen Fang.

It was at this moment.

He truly realized that Chen Fang had been playing the fool previously.

His real purpose was to use this opportunity to get rid of him—physically remove him!

An overwhelming fear began to surge.

No one is fearless in the face of death.

Especially someone like Zhang Moqian who has just regained a high position.

A beautiful life just beginning, to end like this, wouldn't that be too much of a pity?

"Mayor Chen, you can help me cure this, right?"

Zhang Moqian's demeanor suddenly became humble.

In his eyes, Chen Fang was now like a "god of death".

"It can be cured, but it's a bit troublesome."

Chen Fang said with some difficulty.

Zhang Moqian wasn't foolish.

He obviously understood what Chen Fang meant.

He gritted his teeth and endured the severe abdominal pain, shakily standing up.

Turning his head to Lu Ke, he said, "District Chief Lu, the emergence of such a restaurant in your jurisdiction suggests you should reflect properly... I think such an unsanitary restaurant has no need to exist..."

Zhu Qinghuan heard this.

And was scared out of his wits.

He quickly said, "Deputy Zhang, it's really not my restaurant's food, it's really not. Didn't you just say that our food was very clean and delicious?"

"Silence!"

Zhang Moqian shouted loudly.

Rebuked, "Arbitrarily charging exorbitant fees and insulting the Mayor, I think you're lawless. Investigate, call the industrial and commercial tax supervision over to investigate. If this shop is still open tomorrow, Comrade Lu Ke, you will no longer need to serve as District Chief..."

Lu Ke was also bewildered.

She did not know why Zhang Moqian suddenly changed his tune.

But since the Deputy Mayor issued this order.

She had no choice.

She could only nod and say, "Yes, Deputy Zhang, I'll send someone over tomorrow. Should we take you to the hospital first?"

Zhang Moqian didn't care at all about what she said.

Instead, he turned to Chen Fang with a pleading look.

Understand that at this moment, his life was in Chen Fang's hands.

Chen Fang leisurely crossed his legs.

He said, "Deputy Zhang, I just arrived, and I'm not very familiar with many things before. I heard from Director Zheng that there's still an unsolved issue with Zhu Qinghuan. Since all the main people concerned are here, why don't we resolve it all today? After all, there are still twenty minutes left, enough time."

After finishing.

He tapped on his wristwatch.

This final sentence and the action of tapping the watch.

Represented the countdown to Zhang Moqian's life.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Moqian, regardless of his physical pain, directly looked at Zheng Chi, who hadn't spoken a word, asking, "Comrade Zheng Chi, tell me, what exactly is going on?"

The two of them knew each other from long ago.

They just hadn't been in contact for the past few years.

Zheng Chi understood Chen Fang's meaning.

He immediately stepped forward.

Explaining the situation of Zhu Qinghuan's alleged crimes that went unpunished.

This naturally involved Lu Ke's intervention.

Zhang Moqian's gaze sharply turned to Lu Ke, asking, "Comrade Lu Ke, tell me, what exactly is this about?"

"I... well... Deputy Zhang, this matter is rather complicated; it's not something that can be explained in just a few words."

Lu Ke became instantly nervous.

She spoke stammeringly.

"Can't explain it? It doesn't matter if you can't explain it, Comrade Zheng Chi, temporarily detain Zhu Qinghuan and proceed with the normal procedure. If you encounter any obstacles, you can report directly to Comrade Zhang Yongwang."

"Understood!"

Zheng Chi replied solemnly.

The sky had fallen.

Now it truly felt like the sky had fallen.

Just a few minutes ago, Zhu Qinghuan, who was still complacent, could never have imagined.

Not only was the restaurant going.

But even old issues were being brought up again.

What could have been resolved with an apology, now involved losing his freedom due to a struggle among gods affecting mere mortals.

He regretted it immensely.

He wished he had never called Lu Ke.

Lu Ke felt no different.

She was also utterly resentful towards Zhu Qinghuan.

The meal that had been perfectly arranged was disrupted, and now she was in trouble herself.

This wasn't looking for trouble.

"Comrade Yongwang, this matter needs your attention as the Party Secretary of the district. Investigate thoroughly, regardless of who is involved, and report anything to me or Deputy Zhang. Understand?"

Chen Fang stood up.

Patted Zhang Yongwang on the shoulder and said.

Zhang Yongwang shivered slightly.

He seemed to have sensed something.
