Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 456 Someone must be causing trouble on purpose!

"What's wrong? Don't you know what's going on? Your dishes have been getting worse and worse recently, and customers have been complaining all the time. How do you want me to explain this to my superiors?" The manager pointed at Sha Zhu's nose and scolded.

"Let me tell you, the food I, Sha Zhu, cook is famous for being delicious! Someone must have deliberately messed up the dish today! Stop accusing a good person here!" Sha Zhu showed no sign of weakness and started arguing with the manager.

"Is it wrongly accusing you? Look at this dish and try it yourself! Is this something human can eat?" The manager picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of dish and stuffed it into Sha Zhu's mouth.

After chewing for a few times, Sha Zhu's face suddenly turned ugly. The taste of this dish was indeed wrong, it was salty and bitter, and it also had a strange smell.

"This...what's going on?" Sha Zhu asked puzzledly.

"What happened? You should reflect on yourself! If this happens again, you don't have to come to work!" After saying this, the manager turned around and left.

Sha Zhu stood there, puzzled. He had clearly followed the same steps as before, so why did the taste become so strange? Was it really because he was not in good shape recently?

He sat on the ground dejectedly, feeling weak all over. Recent events have happened one after another, leaving him overwhelmed. First, Qin Huairu's family's endless demands, and now there are problems at work. He feels like he is about to collapse.

"Shazhu, what's wrong with you?" At this time, Ma Hua came over and asked with concern.

"It's okay, just a little tired." Sha Zhu forced a smile.

"I see that you haven't been in a good mood recently. Are you worried about something?" Ma Hua asked.

Sha Zhu hesitated for a moment, but finally told Ma Hua what had happened recently.

After listening to this, Ma Hua sighed and said, "Shazhu, I know you have good intentions and want to help Qin Huairu's family, but you can't keep going like this. Their family is like a bottomless pit that you can't fill."

"I know, but I can't just watch them starve to death." Sha Zhu said helplessly.

"Shazhu, if you continue like this, you will drag yourself down sooner or later. You have to think about yourself." Ma Hua persuaded.

Sha Zhu was silent. He knew that Ma Hua was right, but he just couldn't bear to refuse Qin Huairu's request.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Can you help me take a look at what's wrong with this dish?" Sha Zhu pointed at the dish on the ground and asked.

Ma Hua carefully checked it and said, "This dish really tastes wrong. It seems someone has tampered with it."

"Tampered with something? Who would do that?" Sha Zhu asked puzzledly.

"I don't know about that. But I think you'd better be careful recently. Maybe someone is targeting you deliberately." Ma Hua reminded.

Sha Zhu nodded, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness. He didn't know who was behind it, nor did he know what would happen next.

It was late at night, and Sha Zhu was walking home alone. The street lights were dim and there was no one on the street.

Suddenly, he felt someone following him. He turned around sharply, but saw nothing.

"Am I overthinking?" Sha Zhu said to himself.

He continued walking forward, but the feeling that he was being followed became stronger and stronger. He quickened his pace and almost trotted forward.

Suddenly, he heard hurried footsteps behind him. He turned around again and saw a dark figure rushing towards him.

"Who?" Sha Zhu shouted.

The black shadow did not answer, but rushed directly towards the silly pillar...

The shadow pounced on him, and Sha Zhu instinctively dodged to the side and avoided the attack. In the dim street light, he could see the attacker clearly - Xu Damao.

"Xu Damao, it's you!" Sha Zhu roared, "Why did you attack me?"

Xu Damao sneered and said, "Silly Zhu, you have finally come to this day! I have disliked you for a long time!"

"You don't like me? When did I offend you?" Sha Zhu asked puzzledly.

"Stop pretending! You stole my Qin Huairu and made me lose face in the factory. I'm going to settle this account with you today!" Xu Damao said gritting his teeth.

"Qin Huairu? What nonsense are you talking about! There is nothing innocent between her and me!" Sha Zhu explained.

"Innocent? You are kidding! You go to her house every day and bring her food and drinks. Do you dare to say that you have no feelings for her?" Xu Damao asked.

"I..." Sha Zhu was speechless for a moment. He did have a good impression of Qin Huairu, but he had never thought of snatching her away.

"Hmph, you have nothing to say? Today I'll let you taste my power!" After Xu Damao said this, he pounced on Sha Zhu again.

The two men wrestled together. Although Sha Zhu was strong, Xu Damao was ruthless and attacked Sha Zhu's vital parts. Sha Zhu gradually lost the upper hand and was hit several times.

"Xu Damao, stop it! If you continue, someone will die!" Sha Zhu shouted.

"Someone died? I'm going to kill you today!" Xu Damao roared, and attacked even more viciously.

At this moment, a police siren sounded in the distance. Xu Damao was so scared that he quickly let go of Sha Zhu and ran away.

Sha Zhu was lying on the ground, feeling sore all over. He struggled to get up and looked at the direction Xu Damao fled, his heart filled with anger and helplessness.

The next day, Sha Zhu went to work as usual, but he found that the atmosphere in the cafeteria was a little strange. His colleagues were pointing fingers at him and whispering about him.

"Shazhu, did you fight with Xu Damao last night?" Ma Hua walked over and asked in a low voice.

Sha Zhu nodded and said, "He was the first to do it."

"I know, but the manager doesn't seem to believe what you say," said Ma Hua.

"What do you mean?" Sha Zhu asked puzzledly.

"The manager said that you have been burnt the dishes recently and often talk back to him. He suspects you did it on purpose," Ma Hua explained.

When Sha Zhu heard this, he immediately understood. It must be Xu Damao who was behind this!

He found the manager and wanted to explain everything, but the manager didn't listen to his explanation at all. Instead, he scolded him.

"Silly Zhu, what's wrong with you lately? The dishes you cook are getting worse and worse, and you still dare to talk back to me! Do you still regard me as your manager?" the manager shouted angrily.

"Manager, I..." Sha Zhu wanted to explain, but the manager didn't even give him a chance to speak.

"What do you mean? I'm telling you, if this happens again, you don't have to come to work!" The manager said, then walked away.

Sha Zhu stood there, shaking with anger. He didn't expect Xu Damao to be so despicable that he would do something behind his back and make him lose his job.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and finally decided to go find Xu Damao to settle the score.

He came to Xu Damao's house and knocked hard.

"Who is it?" Xu Damao's voice came from inside.

"It's me, Sha Zhu!" Sha Zhu said loudly.

"Shazhu? What are you doing here?" Xu Damao opened the door and looked at Shazhu with vigilance.

"I'm here to settle the score with you!" Sha Zhu roared.

"Settling accounts? What accounts?" Xu Damao pretended to be dumb.

"Stop pretending! Why did you say bad things about me in front of the manager?" Sha Zhu asked.

"I said something bad about you? What evidence do you have?" Xu Damao asked back.

"I..." Sha Zhu was speechless for a moment. He really had no evidence.
