Chapter 899: Admiration and Worship_2

But they’re just some minor cases, not even qualified to be reported as tasks.

This morning, there was a call from the public, saying there was a group fight at the back door of Four Seas Banquet!

The police station heard about the fight and thought it was perfect timing!

The station immediately dispatched a team, driving a police car, and unexpectedly brought back a whole carload of chefs.

The captain, a swift and decisive character, began separate interrogations and recording upon returning to the station.

Luo Rang and Fu Yu each truthfully disclosed everything they knew.

Soon, the purchasers and Duan Weijia also clearly explained their parts.

The young driver was so scared he could hardly stand, confessed everything without much questioning.

The police quickly dispatched a team of plainclothes officers, driving civilian cars, guided by the young driver directly to the illegal factory.

The factory was surprisingly located in an old warehouse of a local chemical plant, with a long row of cold storage rooms, quite a large scale.

It’s apparent the owner of the illegal factory probably had some background.

With the young driver’s help in identification, the responsible party of the illegal factory was quickly found.

The police demanded the responsible party show production licenses, business licenses, and other relevant documents, none could be provided.

The factory owner confessed to selling zombie meat to the city’s major restaurants and cooked food markets without hesitation.

The police immediately halted production and coordinated with the Market Supervision and Management Bureau and other relevant departments to handle the situation collectively.

The storage and sales locations were sealed, and a large batch of unsold zombie meat in cold storage was confiscated.

The entire group from the illegal factory was handcuffed back to the police station, examined one by one on the spot, identities confirmed, ready to submit the case file to the head office.

When Luo Rang and Fu Yu left the police station, the captain personally escorted them out the door, with a tone clearly filled with gratitude and reassurance: “Don’t worry, we’ll handle this case impartially, thank you for your cooperation!”

Since confirming it’s a large illegal factory case, everyone in the station treated the informant Luo Rang and collaborator witness Fu Yu with utmost warmth.

Luo Rang’s previously gloomy mood was greatly improved by their praise and gratitude.

Walked out of the police station with a light step, feeling suddenly realized after the friendly farewell.

Oh no! This delay already reached two o’clock in the afternoon.

Even if driving to the provincial city now, it wouldn’t make it in time.

The Provincial Gourmet Association’s annual meeting was set to start at 1:30 pm.

Realizing this, Luo Rang looked at Fu Yu with a face full of guilt: “Chef Fu, I’m really sorry, because of me, you missed attending the annual meeting!”

Fu Yu shook his head, half-jokingly, half-seriously said: “What’s an annual meeting compared to today’s experience, enough for me to brag for years. Did you hear what the officer said? This is a large illegal factory case, we’ve done something great!”

Fu Yu meant every word.

Just now at the police station, he was warmly received by the officers and personally witnessed the arrest of a large batch of criminals.

Seeing this inspiring scene, suddenly felt that everything was worth it.

What Provincial Gourmet Association annual meeting!

What video cooking contest award ceremony!

What Chinese Medicine department annual meeting…

These, in the face of safeguarding people’s interests, how much weight do they hold?

A chef’s professional ethics is about protecting the diners’ interests.

Fu Yu tried to comfort himself…

Luo Rang, feeling extremely moved, put his hand on Fu Yu’s shoulder: “Xiaofu, you’re a really good person! From now on, we’re like brothers!”

Fu Yu smiled broadly, pulled out his phone vibrating in his pocket, it was a message from Liu Yuqing.

[Fu Yu, where are you? My sister and I have already entered the venue, can’t find you anywhere!]

Fu Yu was taken aback, realizing he forgot to inform Liu Yuqing about the situation.

He quickly called her.

Liu Yuqing on the other end was still cheerfully asking: “Where are you?”

Fu Yu hurried to explain: “Xiaoqing, there was a situation on my side, can’t make it to the provincial city, not attending today’s annual meeting.”

Liu Yuqing stood at the Provincial Gourmet Association annual meeting, still naively turning around looking for Fu Yu.

Beside her, Liu Yunong asked: “Did Fu Yu say where he is?”

Liu Yuqing suddenly got flustered, surprisedly asked: “What’s going on?”

In front of Luo Rang, Fu Yu couldn’t say too much, just mentioned his friend encountered a situation and needed help, got busy and delayed time.

At this moment, Liu Yuqing showed her understanding by not further questioning but reassuringly ended the call after confirming Fu Yu was alright.

After confirming he’s not making it to the provincial city, Fu Yu declined Luo Rang’s invitation for a meal and took a cab back to Qianlima by himself.

With the situation like this at Four Seas Banquet, the shop must be in chaos, needing Luo Rang to go back and handle things.

Entering the taxi, Fu Yu then dialed Liu Yuqing’s number again.

Upon connection, Liu Yuqing quickly said: “Wait a moment.”

After a while, Fu Yu heard the originally noisy background sound in the receiver somehow quiet down, Liu Yuqing must have found a relatively quiet place to take the call out of the venue.

“Alright.” Liu Yuqing said: “Can you talk conveniently now?”

Fu Yu quickly responded: “Yes, I’m already in the taxi.”

Knowing Fu Yu can now speak freely, Liu Yuqing curiously asked: “Fu Yu, wasn’t that head chef from Four Seas Banquet supposed to drive you to the provincial city? Why aren’t you coming anymore?”

Liu Yuqing’s urgency and concern for Fu Yu were clear in her tone.

Fu Yu’s heart felt comfortable, knowing his girlfriend supported him, he eagerly detailed the incident.

Liu Yuqing, surprised, said: “Really? Four Seas Banquet went through such a thing, and that Chef Luo actually reported it?”

Influenced by Luo Rang, Fu Yu feeling indignant, said: “Yes, the store’s purchasers, head chef, and the delivery driver are all detained at the station, and the ruthless workshop selling zombie meat was shut down. I didn’t expect Chef Luo to be so bold; others would have surely downplayed the situation!”

Liu Yuqing sighed: “You’re impressive too, spotting the problem in that batch of lamb vertebrae.”

Fu Yu smiled: “Just a coincidence, had I not accidentally torn the bag, I wouldn’t have discovered it either, you wouldn’t know, at that time…”

Liu Yuqing hasn’t encountered such dirty kitchen matters, but after hearing Fu Yu’s account, instantly felt Chef Luo was indeed forthright, and Fu Yu was courageous.

He could bravely expose the matter under such circumstances, what immense courage is needed!

She adored and admired Fu Yu deeply.

Liu Yuqing quietly listened to Fu Yu’s recount, her heart rising and falling with his words.

Since dating Fu Yu, she’d become fascinated with him deeply.

Private interactions revealed Fu Yu’s mature, calm yet righteous and kind character as an exceptional chef, making her realize previous supposed crushes on idols, or ‘boy gods’ paled in comparison—immature, narrow, dull under Fu Yu’s radiance.

Even those who pursued and adored her, she never accepted, mistakenly believing it was due to shallowness, now she understood these individuals never truly reached her heart, evoking admiration, warmth…

Liu Yuqing engrossed in the phone chat with Fu Yu, hadn’t recognized her love-stricken dazed demeanor.

Liu Yunong noticed Liu Yuqing hadn’t returned for a while, couldn’t resist finding her, seeing this scene, was almost unable to bear it.
