In fact, Brother Steamed Bun had always been in awe of the Zhao Family. As the head chef of the Zhao Family, he could barely be considered one of them. Using this identity, Brother Steamed Bun played with many girls. When they heard that he was from the Zhao Family, they all threw themselves into his arms.
Of course, Brother Steamed Bun had seen the vicious and merciless style of the Zhao Family's upper echelons, so he was afraid and behaved with his tail between his legs. However, he still suffered a lot of injustice. After all, everyone's tastes were different. Sometimes, it was common for someone to get angry and wake up in the middle of the night to cook for them.
Therefore, this job was not easy to do. Thinking back to how he had been scolded by a good-for-nothing young master and called him a servant, Brother Steamed Bun felt a burst of anger. Originally, he had to bury his depression and dissatisfaction in the bottom of his heart forever, but being threatened gave him the courage to take revenge.
Since he wanted as many people as possible to be poisoned, it was a test for him. These days, poison was not easy to get, and the Zhao Family even had cameras in the kitchen, so he did not dare to casually poison them. If he did not harm the Zhao Family, he might just die.
Thus, Brother Steamed Bun racked his brains and thought of the most ingenious method of poisoning. That was to use vegetables to eat under special circumstances, which could cause human poisoning.
Therefore, early in the morning, he personally went shopping. He went to a few small workshops and bought rotten cabbage, sprouted potatoes, rotten ginger, yellow tremella, fresh broad beans, fat bean sprouts, pickled vegetables, and so on. After eating these vegetables, they would bring about some side effects. In any case, he was the chef. As long as he cooked well, no one would notice.
Brother Steamed Bun skillfully cooked a few dishes and used the ingredients just right. Not long after, dishes that looked, smelled, and looked good were ready. On the surface, there was nothing unusual. Brother Steamed Bun nodded in satisfaction and asked someone to send them to the cafeteria.
Other than the people from the Zhao Family, there were also some young talents who came to practice martial arts. Most of these people came from wealthy families and had a good relationship with the Zhao Family. They were also proud of this. Usually, when they had nothing to do, they would eat in the dojo.
Today was destined to be a nightmare for the Zhao Family. Even Old Man Zhao did not expect that someone would dare to plot against the Zhao Family. This was because the Zhao Family had always sat in the position of overlord. Subconsciously, there was a fixed thinking that it was good enough for the Zhao Family not to target others.
Almost a hundred people from the Zhao Family ate this meal. In just an hour, people started having convulsions, diarrhea, dizziness, and nausea. They thought it was just something bad they ate, but when they realized it wasn't a coincidence, they immediately went to the hospital, but it was too late.
Soon, one of the Zhao Clan's stewards succumbed to treatment and died. Out of the ten or so people, only three or four could survive. Most of them were too deeply poisoned. All kinds of harmful substances piled up in their bodies. How could they withstand it?
As the saying goes, one spread to ten, and ten spread to a hundred. In this information age, there were almost no secrets in public places. Because a row of ambulances was parked in front of the Zhao Martial Arts Dojo, the spectacular scene attracted many passers-by to stop and watch. All kinds of bold guesses came one after another.
Some people said that it was the God-like man who made a comeback and beat the Zhao Family without the power to fight back. Others said that it might be a big shot who was practicing martial arts and then started a massacre. However, when they saw those people holding their stomachs and vomiting, they realized that they should have suffered from food poisoning.
Old Man Zhao was still in seclusion. After hearing the news, he was furious and almost collapsed. He wanted to ask his son Zhao Leiting, but he was also poisoned. At this time, he was still having diarrhea. Because he was a master of Obvious Strength, he could forcibly use Qi to remove harmful substances. Of course, most people were not so lucky.
Old Man Zhao had to come out of seclusion in advance to calm the negative impact of this matter. He was not the only one who was anxious. Those who were close to the Zhao Family were like ants on a hot pan.
They didn't know where the rumor came from, but it was said that it was commander-in-chief Shangguan's action …
This scared them to death. Even old Man Zhao couldn't calm down. He hurriedly contacted his backer in the provincial capital. The reason why the Zhao Family could dominate Yuncheng as steadily as Mount Tai was that, in addition to its own strength, there was another important factor.
Old Man Zhao's second son held the position of the provincial party committee in the provincial capital. It could be said that he had a high position and power. Not many people knew about this because the Zhao Family rarely mentioned it. After all, in order not to affect the career of the second son, old Man Zhao would not take the initiative to contact unless it was a last resort, lest someone with ulterior motives got hold of it. In that case, it would be difficult to deal with the matter.
"Hello, Youcai." Old Man Zhao cleared his throat.
"Dad, I was just about to call you. What happened to the martial arts club? A large number of people were poisoned?"
Although Zhao Youcai was far away in the provincial capital, he was very well-informed. Because of the poisoning, it was on the hot search on Weibo. Even the media reporters in the provincial capital got the news and were ready to go to Yuncheng to find out.
Old Man Zhao was very depressed. "Dad is also puzzled. How could they be poisoned without any reason? Let me ask you, is it really commander-in-chief Shangguan's idea?"
This was the question he was most concerned about. If the commander-in-chief Shangguan wanted to punish the Zhao family, it would be too easy. Even Zhao Youcai, the leader of the provincial party committee, might be uprooted. Although he seemed to be aboveboard and honest on the surface, the rapid growth of the Zhao family in the past few years had an inseparable relationship with him. Once it was traced, it was likely that some clues would be caught. Although the provincial party committee had great power, it was not worth mentioning compared with the commander-in-chief Shangguan.
Within the scope of Nan Yun Province, no one could challenge commander-in-chief Shangguan. Because of his old age, commander-in-chief Shangguan would turn a blind eye to some things. But if someone touched his bottom line, commander-in-chief Shangguan would show a thunderbolt to get rid of them.
More than ten years ago, the municipal party committee of Yuncheng was investigated. They had some interests with the gangs in Myanmar. Originally, there were too many connections, so it was not good to cut the Gordian knot with a knife. As a result, commander-in-chief Shangguan took action and a group of senior officials in Yuncheng were all changed. Even the few big officials behind them in the provincial capital were inevitably affected.
Shangguan Guoqiang would never sit idly by when faced with this kind of existence that was close to a traitor. Originally, he had a happy family and could completely enjoy the happiness of a family. However, because of the repeated attacks of those underworld forces, Shangguan Guoqiang became a lonely old man. This was a pain that he could never erase.
