Chef Lin and Chef Zhou’s eyes widened, not blinking!

They were certain, absolutely certain, that this time, Klaus had made thirteen cuts.

"It’s definitely thirteen cuts! No question about it! If Chef Feng’s sous chef is at this level, he can’t be that impressive himself," Chef Lin sneered.

"Yeah, let’s just go, I think we don’t need to have any sort of competition," Chef Zhou shook his head gently.

Klaus spoke indifferently, "There really is no need for a competition. I gave you two chances and you still couldn’t tell how many cuts I made. Contestants like you, let alone Chef Feng, even I would not deign to take action."

"Just thirteen cuts? Old Lin can make seventeen cuts! I can make sixteen cuts! You’re just showing off..."

Halfway through his sentence, Chef Zhou forcibly held back his words!

Because Chef Zhou saw the chopped green onions on the cutting board!

Fifty pieces!

Exactly fifty pieces of green onion!

Chef Lin also saw the number of green onions and fell silent!

The two of them couldn’t understand how Klaus could make fifty pieces from thirteen cuts?

"This..."

"What’s this? Don’t interrupt our sous chef while he’s working! Scram!"

An impatient chef, who had been assisting beside them, yelled at the two.

Even though stunned, Chef Lin and Chef Zhou still had their pride. How could they allow themselves to be shouted at by any Tom, Dick, or Harry?

"Even if Klaus is a sous chef with impressive knife skills, that doesn’t prove anything. What place do you, a mere assistant, have to speak here? I would advise you to keep your..."

While speaking, Chef Lin looked towards the assistant chef who had interrupted, intending to properly educate this assistant!

When big shots are talking, the little guys have no right to butt in!

But after seeing the assistant chef’s face clearly, Chef Lin almost knelt!

"You... Are you Chef Liu?"

Chef Lin’s speech was even becoming stammered!

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Wasn’t Chef Liu retired?

What was he doing here?

And doing assistant work?

You have to understand that the G Hotel had invited Chef Liu many times, but Chef Liu had never agreed!

"I am Liu Zhongping," the chef said indifferently.

Chef Zhou and Chef Lin were completely beside themselves, unable to believe their own eyes and ears!

"It must be a dream! This has to be a dream! Old Lin, pinch me!"

Chef Zhou looked at Chef Lin with a bewildered expression.

"Yeah, this can’t be real. How could Chef Liu possibly be here assisting?"

While speaking, Chef Lin pinched Chef Zhou’s arm.

"Ow! That hurts! Old Lin, you really didn’t hold back!"

"You really feel pain? This is real? Not a dream?"

Chef Zhou felt the world spinning!

His head was ringing, and he had no clue what had happened!

"What are you two still doing here? Haven’t you walked away fast enough? Don’t disturb our work,"

Klaus looked at the two of them expressionlessly.

Even if they were slow to catch on, both of them realized that Chef Feng was truly remarkable!

Even Chef Liu was assisting, and when Klaus previously offered them to assist, it was a sign of respect for them!

"Sous Chef Klaus, we are willing to assist,"

"Do you think Feng’s Vegetarian Hall is like your military canteen? Come and go as you please? Sometimes, once an opportunity is missed, it is missed! Please leave."

Liu the chef showed no mercy as he shooed them away, damn it, he had barely managed to get this job as an assistant chef, and he certainly didn’t want these two fools to ruin it!

Because they had made too much of a scene earlier, no one came forward to speak up for the two men, leaving them with no choice but to leave the kitchen dejectedly.

Without Zhao Muchen’s permission, they didn’t dare to return rashly, so they could only wait at the entrance of Jingzhai with anticipation.

After waiting for a long time, their legs nearly numb from standing, the well-fed Qin Yu and Zhao Muchen finally came out.

As soon as they stepped out of Jingzhai, Zhao Muchen saw the two of them standing there foolishly.

"Chef Lin, Chef Zhou, didn’t I send you to learn? What are you doing here instead of being in the kitchen?"

Zhao Muchen looked at the two with a puzzled face.

"Commander, we..." Damn it, how could they explain this? Posing had backfired spectacularly!

"What’s the matter? Did they give you a hard time? Don’t worry, with Chef Feng here, you can tell him about any grievances you have!"

The success of these two fools in their apprenticeship was crucial to Zhao Muchen’s future delicacies, so he was very concerned.

This only made it even harder for the two men to explain, and their faces turned red with embarrassment.

"Commander Zhao, it’s like this... It’s our fault, short-sighted, to dare to question Klaus the sous-chef."

Chef Zhou recounted the events exactly as they had happened.

"What did you say? Liu the chef is also working here as an assistant chef?"

Zhao Muchen ignored the rest and focused on the words ’Liu the chef’.

"Yes." Chef Zhou’s expression was strange; he couldn’t understand why Liu the chef would be working here, and just as an assistant chef at that! After all, Liu the chef was someone who had served commanders!

"I remember ten years ago at the Fishing G Hotel, I had Liu the chef’s Manchu-Han Imperial Feast, and it nearly made my nose crooked with pleasure. I never expected to find him working here as an assistant! Chef Lin, Chef Zhou, you must stay!"

"We want to stay too, but..."

"No buts."

Zhao Muchen turned and looked at Chef Feng with an ingratiating gaze.

"Chef Feng, concerning today’s incident, Chef Lin and Chef Zhou were at fault. Do you think you could make an exception?"

"Fine, I will speak to the kitchen later."

Feng Jingkun shrugged indifferently; free labor is not to be refused.

While everyone was talking, Qin Yu kept himself out of it, glancing around somewhat bored.

Suddenly, Qin Yu’s gaze fell on one of the waiters.

Qin Yu often came to Feng’s Vegetarian Hall and knew most of the waiters, but this one seemed unfamiliar.

Moreover, Qin Yu faintly smelled the odor of machine oil!

Although the scent of food was strong, it couldn’t fool Qin Yu’s nose.

However, what puzzled Qin Yu was that he didn’t feel any murderous intent! That’s why he had allowed the waiter to come within ten meters.

Who was his target? Elder Feng or the shameless Zhao Muchen?

Regardless of the waiter’s target, Qin Yu was not about to let a tragedy happen. He slowly moved his feet, positioning himself to act at any moment.

At close range, Qin Yu sensed the aim of the murderous intent!

Qin Yu was certain, without a doubt, that Zhao Muchen was the target!

Pretending as if he hadn’t noticed anything, Qin Yu yawned and said, "Old Zhao, go pay the bill. I’ll go get the car."

"Okay!"

Zhao Muchen nodded. For someone like him, money was just a string of numbers—available in whatever amount he desired.

After speaking, Zhao Muchen turned and walked toward the front desk.

Seeing this, the waiter’s eyes lit up, having found the perfect moment to strike!

Sensing the waiter’s movement, Qin Yu’s lips curled up slightly; he had asked Zhao Muchen to pay as a way to give the waiter an opening to make his move!

The waiter quickly drew the handgun from under the tray, aiming the dark muzzle at Zhao Muchen’s head!

Chef Zhou was in just the right position to see this unfold and yelled out in alarm, "Commander, watch out!"

As he shouted, Chef Zhou recklessly rushed toward Zhao Muchen, trying to block the bullet for him! Sadly, as an ordinary person, how could he outrun a bullet?

The waiter didn’t hesitate to pull the trigger, and with a loud bang, the gun fired!
