Chapter 276: Chapter 278: Vampires
“As long as it doesn't result in a death, crippling or disabling Xiao Han is fine. If by accident a life is lost, it won't be a problem either, as the Qin Family has the capability to cover everything.”
There's an old saying, an overindulgent mother tends to spoil her child. Lady Qin's approach has been step by step indulging Qin Xiaotian in illegal and criminal behavior. Also, it has been allowing Qin Xiaotian to become increasingly audacious. Once the day comes, Qin Xiaotian will inevitably face stern punishment by the law and condemnation by society.
……
The seven-day National Day holiday was over in the blink of an eye.
The students gradually made their way back to school. During the National Day week, Hanmen Restaurant's business was booming, with full house almost every day. In contrast, Yujian Restaurant across the street was desolate, the number of patrons pitifully low compared to the bustling Hanmen Restaurant.
During the seven days of the National Day holiday, the turnover of Hanmen Restaurant easily broke through seven hundred thousand. That is to say, the daily turnover was almost around a hundred thousand, peaking at a hundred and thirty thousand on the first day. With seven hundred thousand in turnover, the gross profit was around three to four hundred thousand. It's evident that the profit margin in the catering business is still quite substantial.
On the first day of the National Day holiday, many returning students who heard about the opening of Hanmen Restaurant rushed over, forming a long queue at the door. Surprisingly, not many people were willing to dine at Yujian Restaurant across the street.
Chinese have an instinct, which is to follow the trend rather than go against it. People prefer to eat where the crowds are and decidedly avoid an empty restaurant. Moreover, the issuance of thirty-yuan vouchers over the holidays contributed to the long lines at Hanmen Restaurant.
Yujian Restaurant, deserted and silent, had its manager curiously spectating from the doorway.
“Manager, why do you think they'd rather queue up than come to our restaurant?” a waiter asked curiously.
“To join in the buzz,” the manager uttered with a hint of sarcasm, then said, “They'll have to come to dine here one day.”
“Didn't you tell Boss Fang that our business would pick up after the National Day?” the waiter said anxiously, “Why don't these people give any face at all?”
“Hmph!” The manager snorted coldly and said, “One day they'll regret it!”
The manager had seen Fang Hao's tactics before, and if Fang Hao were to take action, it was likely that Hanmen Restaurant wouldn't last long. The corner of Manager Li's mouth twitched into a sinister smile. Once Hanmen Restaurant across the street was out of business, the flow of customers would undoubtedly shift to his own restaurant. Or perhaps, with Boss Fang's influence, taking over Hanmen Restaurant would be just a matter of words?
Dormitory Building No.1, Dormitory 101.
“Brothers, Hanmen Restaurant was too popular today,” Zhang Dagou declared with a downcast look, “Dammit, I was planning to have a meal with Xiao Mei, but who would've thought there'd be such a long queue.”
“Then why not go to Yujian Restaurant?” Xiao Han retorted.
“Who would go there!” Zhang Dagou huffed, “Eating once at Yujian Restaurant, I could eat twice or even three times at Hanmen Restaurant. I'm no sucker. Besides, doesn't Hanmen Restaurant hold more status than Yujian Restaurant? Why would I spend more money to eat at a worse place? I'm not stupid!”
At this moment, Liu Bin joined in, curious, “What do you guys think, how long can Hanmen Restaurant last?”
“What do you mean?” Xiao Han asked puzzled.
“Yujian Restaurant is Fang Hao's place,” Liu Bin said with a smile curling his lips, “Who is Fang Hao? He's a big deal in our school. Rumor has it he made a few million in just a few years after opening the restaurant in his sophomore year. Scored countless girls. Also bought several luxury cars. Apparently, his dad's a big shot in the Provincial Party Committee Political Bureau and his mom owns several shopping malls. The family has both money and power. Do you think he'd allow such a formidable competitor right across from him?”
“Good point!” Zhang Dagou nodded, saying, “Damn, now that you mention it, I feel it might be dangerous. This is like snatching food from a tiger's mouth. Fang Hao certainly won't stand for it!”
“Yeah!” Liu Bin nodded, “So, better use up those vouchers from Hanmen Restaurant quickly. Otherwise, you might not get the chance to use them later.”
“I don't think it's that simple!” Xiao Han put down the cup in his hand, smiling, “Although Fang Hao has a background, Hanmen Restaurant may not lack one itself.”
“That's true!” Zhang Dagou nodded slightly, saying, “Such a big restaurant, if it had no support, how could it even start up? What do you guys think?”
“Heh heh, let's wait and see,” Liu Bin laughed, “It's an era of who has the better backing. Whoever's backing is more powerful gets the final word.”
Just as they were joking around, suddenly, a call came through to Xiao Han's phone.
“Zhang Feng's call?” Xiao Han hesitated.
“Answer it!” Zhang Dagou replied.
Xiao Han promptly answered, but as soon as he did, he froze.
“This is the police station at the bus terminal,” said an arrogant voice on the other end, “Your classmate has gotten into trouble, are you his classmates?”
“Yes!” Xiao Han immediately nodded.
“Help us contact one of your teachers to come to the police station to pick him up,” the person on the phone said, then abruptly hung up.
Xiao Han, holding the phone that now gave a busy tone, was dumbfounded.
“What happened?” Liu Bin looked at Xiao Han.
“Damn it, Zhang Feng has been taken to the police station,” Xiao Han was frantic, “Come on, quick, go with me!”
After speaking, a group of people quickly rushed towards the outside. At this moment, Xiao Han lamented why he didn't have a car. If he had a car, maybe it would have been much more convenient to act. Right now, running from the dormitory to the outside of the school to flag down a car would take at least ten minutes.
“What did this kid do again?” Liu Bin asked while he was running.
“How would I know? The other side didn't say,” Xiao Han shook his head.
Rushing all the way to the outside of the school, Liu Bin panted heavily and shouted, “Wait for me, wait for me!”
Finally, they managed to run to the outside of the school, then flagged down a car, quickly got on, and drove off.
After the car arrived at the train station, a group of people quickly dashed outside. They sped along, and in the blink of an eye, they had covered a considerable distance.
The police station was right across from the train station in the provincial city. The train station was large, and lots of people were walking around in the station square. People were rushing to and fro in a hurry. Xiao Han and the others reached the entrance and looked around, “It should be here, right?”
“Who are you looking for?” a police officer asked curiously.
“Oh, one of my classmates was arrested by you guys,” Xiao Han quickly said. “We're here to find him.”
“Classmate?” The officer was puzzled then said, “Come in with me and have a look.”
Afterward, several people followed the officer inside and found Zhang Feng in a detention room. The guy was beaten, with a bruised nose and swollen face, looking grim.
“Zhang Feng,” Xiao Han shouted.
“How did you guys get here?” Zhang Feng looked at Xiao Han and the others in surprise.
“What did you do, kid?” Liu Bin asked in astonishment, looking at Zhang Feng, who was handcuffed to a chair and unable to move, squatting on the ground. Moreover, his face was beaten to a pulp. None of them knew what had happened!
“Damn, a bunch of vampires,” Zhang Feng cursed unhappily.
“What happened?” Xiao Han asked urgently.
“I was pickpocketed as soon as I got off the car,” Zhang Feng said through gritted teeth, narrating the incident. The thief was out of luck too, for of all people, it had to be Zhang Feng's wallet he stole. Who was Zhang Feng? He was a graduate from the Martial Arts School, and most importantly, that wallet contained his food allowance for the month. If it was stolen, it meant he might go hungry this month. So, how could he let the perpetrator go?
Zhang Feng caught the thief within twenty meters and gave the pickpocket a good beating. However, the police officers from the station's police station instead arrested Zhang Feng and accused him of intentional assault. Naturally, Zhang Feng refused to accept this, and inevitably, he received a beating at the police station.
“How could they not distinguish right from wrong?” Zhang Dagou exclaimed in shock, “Letting the thief go and arresting you? This… isn't this crazy?”
“A bunch of bastards sucking the people's blood,” Liu Bin was furiously annoyed.
“That's quite normal!” Xiao Han sneered coldly.
“You think this is normal?” Liu Bin looked baffled.
“Isn't it normal?” Xiao Han scoffed, “Let me tell you, many of the thieves at the train station actually have connections with people on the station's side. Maybe some leader at this station's police station is the head of the station's thieves. You beat up their guy, and of course they're going to make trouble for you.”
Hiss…
Zhang Feng and Liu Bin, along with the others, couldn't help but take a sharp breath. It was the first time they heard of such a claim and couldn't believe their ears.
“Xiao Han, don't talk nonsense!” Liu Bin quickly interjected.
“It's the bitter truth and indeed the reality!” Xiao Han replied with a calm smile.
“Then… what should we do?” Zhang Dagou asked.
“We'll go talk to their leaders!” Xiao Han stood up and said, “If they insist on charging Zhang Feng with intentional assault, we definitely can't stand by idly. Zhang Feng is our brother; we must get him out of here.”
“Right!” Zhang Dagou nodded.
“But what if they don't agree to release him? What can we do?” Liu Bin asked, “They have guns!”
“There's a way!” Xiao Han said with a slight smile.
After speaking, Xiao Han turned and walked out from the side. Zhang Dagou and Liu Bin stayed in the detention room.
Xiao Han wandered around the police station for a while, noticing that the officers were all in a hurry, quite busy. Out of curiosity, he went to the office of the station chief and saw someone drinking tea and reading the newspaper inside. Guessing that this person was probably the station chief, Xiao Han quickly slipped in and then closed the door of the office.
“Who are you?” the person inside the office asked hastily.
“Chief, I'm here to see you,” Xiao Han replied.
