Chapter 10 You'll be in jail.
This is a patrol officer from the town's police station, who is specifically responsible for checking whether residents are abiding by the law and whether there are any fights or brawls.
Wearing their work uniforms, they exuded an aura of righteous indignation.
However, in the 1990s, the police were lazier than in Xu Liang's previous life, and they only responded to calls twice a day. On these calls, Xiang Pao and his gang just happened to run into the line of fire.
"Um, officer, please let us explain. We really didn't make this huge hole."
The policeman's sharp gaze swept over each of them.
"If it wasn't you who did it, then who else could it be? Your suspicious behavior suggests it was you."
A group of people were trembling and panicked when questioned by the police.
At this moment, only Xiang Pao remained calm, showing no fear whatsoever.
The eldest brother was still secretly complaining that he shouldn't have listened to Xiang Pao. It was because of this cursed star who used improper means to force people out that the police were attracted.
On the contrary, Xiang Pao believed he was in the right and could argue with the police again.
"Actually, officer, I have a problem I can't talk about! The owner of this little restaurant is absolutely wicked! Not only does he compromise the quality of the food at the factory, but he also cheats and makes a profit by cutting corners!"
"I'm filing a formal complaint against the owner of this small restaurant, officer. You have to help me!"
The policeman said "oh" and looked at Xiang Pao carefully once more.
"It seems you're in the right. Come here, show me your evidence, and explain what happened!"
"Officer, look at these dark bumps on my face, they were inflicted by the owner of this small restaurant."
"And what's more, the owner of this restaurant is acting like a coward inside!"
Upon hearing this, the policeman shouted into the small restaurant, "I am the town's policeman. You are involved in a criminal case. Please come out and cooperate with the investigation."
As the police officer said this, Xu Liang was standing in the kitchen, playing his game's results page.
[+1 in recognition from diners]
[+1 in recognition from diners]
Damn, only two lines? No good, I need to keep looking for customers and gain more customer approval.
He couldn't understand the purpose of the diners' approval rating, so he looked at the question mark in the upper right corner.
It should be the help button on the game panel.
He clicked on it, but a few lines of text popped up.
[Diner approval refers to the degree of favorability that diners have towards the food you make. There will be corresponding rewards for each progress in accumulating favorability.]
[Acceptance progress: 2/5%; Reward unknown]
Xu Liang is just three approval ratings away from receiving the reward, but he doesn't know what the system will give him when he meets the requirements.
As he finished reviewing this information, he heard a loud knocking on the door in reality.
Xu Liang then realized, "Oh no, it's the police!"
After that, he could only obediently put a big hole in the glass door of his small restaurant. He almost lost his temper, but when he saw a policeman standing next to that group of people, he instantly became obedient.
At this time, you need to stay calm, stay calm, and stay calm again.
When Xiang Pao saw Xu Liang appear in front of the small restaurant, he was filled with hatred and gritted his teeth; his eyes seemed to regard the whole world as his enemy.
But no matter how powerful he is, he can't surpass a policeman who holds the truth.
"Your name is Xu Liang, right?"
"Someone wants to file a formal complaint against you. He says you punched him in the face, causing it to swell and develop a dark bump. He wants to come out and confirm if this is true."
"No, he was just being instructed by someone else, and since he couldn't bully another person, he got beaten up by that person."
He looked up at Xiang Pao, then at the solemn-faced policeman, and every word he uttered made sense.
Xu Liang stated clearly, "Officer, I never laid a hand on him. The injuries on his face have absolutely nothing to do with me."
"On the contrary, it was him who led this group of people to block the entrance of my shop, and first threatened me with words from outside."
"Then, for some reason, there was a loud bang, and when I went outside, I saw broken glass all over the ground. This is the most direct evidence."
Then, the police's gaze fell on the large hole; the once-perfect glass door was now covered in shards of broken glass.
This is not something that can be caused by trivial matters.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Pao instantly became agitated. He took a step forward and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Xu Liang, you're talking nonsense! You were the one who hid in the shop and refused to come out, so I had no choice but to smash your broken door."
I'm reporting you for cheating and profiting from the difference in prices; opening a shop like this is a crime!
"My shop is a black-hearted business?" Xu Liang sneered.
"Xiang Pao, you have no proof whatsoever; you need to produce evidence."
Xu Liangjian hesitated for a long time before speaking to the cannon.
"Officer, this man claims my food is substandard and I'm making a profit from it. That's pure slander. Can he produce even a shred of evidence?"
"You say there are problems with the quality of his food, where is your evidence?"
Xiang Pao was immediately stumped, stammering and unable to utter a word.
It took me a long time to recover.
"I...I just heard it from someone, anyway, he's just not clean!"
"I heard?"
These words completely baffled Xu Liang.
"Officer, don't be fooled by these people. They're the town's gang. They're holding a grudge because I refused to pay them 'protection money.' They're deliberately causing trouble in my shop and making up these stories to frame me. It's all a setup!"
Upon hearing this, the group of people behind Xiang Pao panicked and became flustered.
The police saw all of this.
Upon seeing this, the police immediately understood seven or eight parts of the situation.
"Protection money?"
"You guys actually came to rob us?"
The police officer's tone turned stern, and he shouted at them, "Is what he said true? Have you been extorting protection money from people for a long time?"
Xiang Pao still tried to deny it, telling the police, "That's not true! He's the one who's slandering us!"
With witnesses and physical evidence present, Xiang Pao has no way to deny the evidence.
The town's police station.
After that, the police finished handling the matter.
"Thank you, officer. I'm so grateful for your help in upholding justice," Xu Liang said quickly.
Thinking of the broken glass at the shop entrance, Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to go back and clean up the mess, the system appeared again.
[Player successfully averts crisis, bonus reward: +3 to customer approval rating]
[Progress: 5/5%, Phase 1 reward conditions met]
[Processing...]
[Reward: Operating capital + 100 yuan]
Xu Liang's eyes lit up. Not only was the crisis resolved, but he also received a system reward, which meant that his small restaurant could now continue operating smoothly.
Those people should obediently stay in the police station and reflect on their actions for a few days.
As for what happens next, the glass door will have to be replaced.
The newly acquired operating capital is about to be lost.
There are gains and losses in everything!
