Early in the morning, they went to a mutton restaurant in town and asked for two pounds of lamb, four side dishes, and two bottles of wine.

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.
