“Well, this time we got off on the wrong foot,” Cao Zizhen said .
“Nonsense, we are not on the wrong foot,” Cao Meng said . “We are engaged in inter-provincial operations, so we are not familiar with the situations over here . It is quite normal to encounter some difficulties, but we cannot be afraid of it . And, we won’t retreat, just like what we did to overcome difficulties in Sichuan and Dongbei . We have managed it, haven’t we?”
As the boss of this team, Cao Meng always cheered them up when he encountered difficulties . The meaning was very simple: the difficulty was temporary, and all setbacks could be overcome . They would win and make money sooner or later . Yet, he also felt the increasing difficulties to lead this time .
Everyone wanted to make money without any suffer or risk, but it was impossible . Their work was highly rewarding but came with high risks . Just like the last time in E City, they tried to blackmail someone . The time and place chosen were right, but their target was wrong . The person being blackmailed was a local tyrant, Huang Si . As a result, they did not get any money Additionally, one of them broke his leg and had to recover at home .
While they were chatting, the mutton soup was served with full cups of wine .
“Come on!” Cao Meng raised his glass . He drank down half of the cup of wine at one time . “Enjoy it . We can only work after we are full . ”
They had been detained the whole night, so they were starving . They gobbled up the food .
“Well, this mutton soup tastes good,” Cao Meng said .
Uh! They were still hiccupping when they were drinking .
“Damn, why is this still like that?” one of his men asked .
“Drink to suppress it!” Cao Meng raised his glass and drank it in one gulp .
Everyone at the table drank wine . They continued hiccupping one by one .
“My dad is still in the clinic,” Cao Zizhen said . His voice was very small . He looked down at the wine that had just filled the glass . “I don’t know what this wine is, but it’s so hot!”
“Your dad?” Cao Meng asked . “Your father had heart disease, and it could not be cured . He was old and had to see a doctor . He could do nothing to help you . He was a cumbrance to you . Without your father, you are better off because you don’t need to support the old man . Now, you can do what you want . After we get the money, you will be rich . Look at me!”
Cao Zizhen bowed his head . No one knew what he was thinking .

Cao Meng slammed the table . The people at the table were scared and looked up at him .
“What’s up, brother?” one of the men asked .
“You, correct your thoughts,” he said as he squinted . “People in our profession rely on the brain and shamelessness! If you want to make a difference, if you want to make a lot of money, you have to resort to whatever means . You have to cut off all old ties!”
After speaking, a lot of liquid sprayed out from the mouth . It splashed out like a high-pressure water gun . The white wine and mutton soup that had just been consumed were all sprayed out .
“Damn it! What’s up?” Cao Meng asked .
When he said his exciting words, at least he felt they were very exciting, he suddenly felt something tumbling in his stomach . It was like boiling water in a frying pan and also like water poured into concentrated sulfuric acid being exploded . He could not suppress it, so it was uncontrollably sprayed out .
Everyone was stunned . They looked at the dishes on the table and mutton soup in front of them .
“How could we have this meal?” one of the men asked .
Cao Meng was embarrassed and said, “God, I just added some flavoring agent to the mutton soup, nothing else . Why does he have such a reaction?”
“Boss, there is something wrong with your soup,” one of the men said .
“Yes, there is a problem!” Another man quickly said, realizing what his boss would say . Their slogan was to catch every opportunity they could get, earn any money they could earn, blackmail anyone they encountered, and try anything they had .
Right after he spoke, he vomited the same ingredients of wine and mutton soup, and blood .
“Damn it, you really poisoned the food!” The man did not feel good at all .
“I did not!” The boss was panicked . “Why are all having such reaction? Is it the lamb?”
The other two people soon began vomiting . There seemed to be a lot of pressure in their abdomens . Everything inside was pressed out, and they simply couldn’t control it from spraying out .

“What’s wrong?” The restaurant manager came out of the kitchen after hearing the sound . He was shocked after seeing the situation of these people .
“What did you add to the dish?” Cao Meng asked .
“Nothing at all,” the manager said .
“What about the vegetables?” Cao Meng asked .
“I just bought them this morning,” the manager said . “There was a little left from yesterday, but it should not be like this!”
“What should we do?” one of his men asked
“What to do? Call an ambulance!” the manager said .
The manager had worked at the mutton restaurant three years . This was the first time he had encountered such a situation . The people seemed to be dying .
At this time, a person pushed the door in and saw the four people who vomited .
“Damn it, what’s up?” His face changed dramatically as he immediately turned to leave .
The ambulance came quickly . When they arrived, none of the men could stand up . They vomited everything that was in their stomachs . In the end, they all vomited blood .
“What’s going on here?” the paramedic asked .
After seeing the state of these men, the paramedics were all stunned .
“I don’t know . They were just eating and suddenly were like that!” The manager was so scared that his face was white . “I hope they will be well!”
The men were carried to the ambulance and taken to the hospital .

“What is going on here?” a doctor asked .
“I don’t know,” a paramedic said . “They were just eating at a mutton restaurant down there and suddenly were like that . Is it food poisoning?”
“If it is food poisoning, taking drugs will not be so powerful,” the doctor said . He pointed at one of the men . “Look at that! You are bleeding!”
“Doctor, please help me, I don’t want to die,” the man said .
Pan Jun happened to walk by . “What happened?”
“Director, these people have just been sent over . The situation is serious,” the doctor said .
“Hey!” Pan Jun was stunned when he saw the men .
Are they the ones who tried to swindle my master in the clinic? Why are they like that?
“Goodness, what’s wrong with them? It is retribution!” Pan Jun said .
“Director, what do you say?” The doctor next to him was confused .
What happened to the director today? How could he say that?
“Oh, sorry, a slip of the tongue,” Pan Jun said .
After looking over the patients, they still did not understand why they were in the condition they were in .
Pan Jun quietly went out and gave Wang Yao a phone call . He told him the situation the men were in .
“Well, I know it, master,” Pan Jun said before going back into the room . “Arrange gastric lavage and inject anesthetic agents . ”
“What?” the doctor asked .
Gastric lavage was a very painful process . After suffering, the situation was finally stabilized .
“Is there any food in their stomachs?” Pan Jun asked .
“Damn it, nothing but stomach acid and blood,” the doctor said .
“Oh, go to the Department of Gastroenterology,” Pan Jun said .
He deeply hated these people and didn’t want to look at them anymore . This was exactly what they deserved .
The four men stayed in the hospital .
After learning they were not locals, or even from other provinces, the doctor said, “You must contact your family immediately!”
A hospital was not a charity . If a person didn’t have money, they could not receive treatment . Although it was a bit ruthless, it was the reality .
In the ward, the men were terrified .
“Brother, what’s wrong with us?” one of the men asked .
After eating the mutton soup, they thought of the young man and what he said when meeting them . They also thought about what he did .
Human scum!
That was what he had called them . Yes, they were scum .
