Chapter 16: Chapter 16: You and Your Bastard Son, Just You Wait

’It’s just that his eyes and voice are similar.’

’He can’t be!’

’How could the dignified First Commander possibly be dining with a lowlife from the Lower Star District!’

But the more Lin Zhenxiang looked, the more she realized this plain-looking man had an extraordinary presence.

Lin Zhenxiang had a sweet appearance and was adept at using her natural advantages to win favor with the opposite sex.

"Sir, I’m truly sorry," she said sweetly, apologizing to Qin Shiwei. "Mrs. Zhao is one of our restaurant’s most important customers, and the friends she brought today are all nobles from the Upper Star District. A humble girl like me can’t afford to offend any of them."

"How about this? Normally, it costs 200,000 Star Coins to become a regular VIP customer here. I’ll upgrade you for free. This time, could you just do me this one favor, please?"

She blinked her pretty eyes coquettishly.

Her cute and coquettish act might have worked on other men.

But the Commander wasn’t buying it.

Qin Shiwei remained unmoved.

"Before we deal with this, I’d like an explanation regarding your restaurant’s food ingredients," he said, glancing coolly at Xiao Juzi, who was sitting across from him with his cheeks puffed out. "I suspect your ingredients aren’t fresh. My son has an upset stomach after eating your fish."

Xiao Juzi put down his utensils, clutched his stomach with both hands, and after a few grunts, began to cry out, "Ouch, ouch, my tummy hurts."

"Mommy, my tummy hurts so bad! This fish doesn’t taste good at all!"

Seeing his flawless cooperation, a look of satisfaction appeared on Qin Shiwei’s face.

Shu Yao played along with the father and son’s act, deliberately putting on an anxious and concerned expression.

"Sweetheart, you were perfectly fine before we got here! How did your tummy suddenly start hurting while you were eating!"

’They actually came here to pull a scam!’

Lin Zhenxiang was furious, but she had no choice but to remain polite. "Sister Shu, and you, sir—I have surveillance cameras here, you know!"

’You can’t pin this on me!’

"So, that is your explanation?" Qin Shiwei then commanded his Light Brain, "Send this address to the food safety department. Have them come inspect this place immediately."

Golden Beetle: "As you command, Master!"

Lin Zhenxiang noticed his Light Brain.

’Besides his eyes and voice being so much like Commander Qin’s, this man is even using the same model of Light Brain!’

’They’re both advanced Light Brains.’

’In the Interstellar Federation, not all Light Brains were equally intelligent. Only a very select group of people were equipped with highly intelligent ones. The Light Brains issued to the Imperial Family, in particular, were second in intelligence only to the Main Brain!’

Qin Shiwei stood up and offered his hand to Shu Yao like a gentleman. "Let’s go."

’There’s no need to linger in a restaurant that’s about to be shut down.’

"Sir!" Lin Zhenxiang blocked the doorway and explained frantically, "This is all a misunderstanding! Your wife is my sister—we have the same father! I... I was just joking with her!"

Shu Yao chuckled lightly. "Lin, who exactly was amused by that joke of yours?"

Qin Shiwei scooped up Xiao Juzi, who was still rolling on the floor, getting carried away with his acting, and took Shu Yao’s hand with his other. He stopped at the doorway and barked in a low, cold voice:

"Move."

Lin Zhenxiang’s expression changed. Overwhelmed by his oppressive aura, she instinctively moved away from the door.

Not long after the occupants of the private room left, officials from the food safety department arrived. Citing potential food safety hazards, they ordered the restaurant to cease operations, forcing out the customers who were still dining.

Lin Zhenxiang was livid!

’If word of this gets out on the Star Network, it will ruin my reputation!’

’This is something I absolutely will not tolerate!’

’Shu Yao, you and that bastard son of yours just you wait!’

Outside the restaurant, Xiao Juzi still had his hands pressed to his stomach, the painful expression on his little face convincingly real.

"We’re outside now, you can stop acting."

"Mommy..." Xiao Juzi’s voice was faint. "It was fake before, but now my tummy really hurts!"

Shu Yao anxiously touched his forehead, and her hand came away slick with sweat.

"To the hospital!" Qin Shiwei ushered them onto the Flying Machine and immediately sped toward Imperial Hospital.
