"Slanders? Hehe…" Xiao Chunlan's shrill voice resounded through half of the street, "Then tell me, where is our Old Dong's electric tricycle, huh?!"    

    

The question took Ye Hong by surprise as he too just remembered about the tricycle. Having to come back late yesterday and burying himself in the kitchen early in the morning, he completely forgot to tell Old Dong about the situation regarding the electric tricycle.    

    

To think that Xiao Chunlan would suddenly act so rashly in front of his store without even asking for the reason. She was simply a crazy woman!    

    

"What's wrong? Does our chef have nothing to say? Hurry up and return the electric tricycle!"    

    

When Xiao Chunlan saw how stunned Ye Hong was, she thought she managed to expose his true nature as a smug look flashed across her face.    

    

Although Old Dong remained silent, he did not look too good either.    

    

"Uncle Dong, do you think so too?"    

    

Old Dong let out a deep sigh and said, "Ah Hong, it's not that Uncle is being stingy. A tricycle on the verge of collapse actually isn't worth much money either..."    

    

"However, that old stallion has been following Uncle Dong for so many years, so I have built a close attachment with it. I hope you will stop playing around and quickly return it."    

    

In the end, they really thought that Ye Hong did not want to return the electric tricycle.    

    

What they did not know, however, was that the tricycle had been completely abandoned in the wasteland of the southern suburbs. Thus, Ye Hong would not be able to return it even if he wanted to.    

    

Ye Hong shook his head silently, "Uncle Dong, I have no way to return that old electric tricycle to you. I'm really sorry."    

    

"But I can buy you a new one."    

    

"A new one?" Xiao Chunlan sneered, "Do you know how much a brand-new tricycle costs? Can a poor student like you afford to pay for it?!"    

    

"Don't think you're rich just because you're selling off a few stinky noodles."    

    

"I think it's clear that you don't want to return the favor, so you just want to casually give us an empty cheque and send us away!"    

    

"Xiao Chunlan, don't go too far!" Ann Xiaoying could no longer hold back her temper. She immediately put her hands on her waist and scolded, "Stop it with your slanders! My family's Ah Hong is honest and upright. How could he be interested in that broken tricycle of yours?"    

    

Ye Xiao's face was livid as he said, "Old Dong, as his parents, we will naturally compensate you with a new car on his behalf. Rest assured."    

    

"That's not what I meant…" Old Dong looked rather conflicted and sighed heavily.    

    

Ye Hong, on the other hand, realized that atmosphere had changed in his surroundings as he paid attention to the words of the customers around him.    

    

"I didn't expect that, at such a young age, this boy would actually do such a despicable thing."    

    

"I heard that he is the chef responsible for making the beef noodles? I am a little worried about the noodles made by a chef of such character..."    

    

"Brothers, please keep on lining up if you want. I'll be taking my leave first."    

    

Just as Ye Hong let out a waning frown, a convoy slowly arrived at the entrance of the street.    

    

A silver car in the middle was guarded by four black Mercedes-Benz — two in the front, two in the back — as it moved forward.    

    

The people in the queue made way for the cars and looked at them with envious gazes.    

    

"Isn't the black car the latest model of Mercedes-Benz? It should be worth at least several million, right?"    

    

"Look at that silver BMW, its license plate number is Jiang A8888!"    

    

"Isn't this car the number plate of the boss of the Cai Group? I think I heard it from someone in my circle of friends."    

    

"Where are they going?"    

    

Just when everyone thought that the convoy would directly cross over the food street, the five luxurious cars came to an unexpected stop in front of the entrance to Midnight Snack.    

    

Suddenly, a few grim-faced men in black emerged from the four black Mercedes-Benz.    

    

Hurrying towards the silver BMW, they immediately opened the doors for the occupants and even held up umbrellas for them.    

    

The moment the car door opened, a little girl wearing a flowery dress quickly jumped out from the car.    

    

When she saw Ye Hong standing on the stairs, she immediately smiled brightly and jumped into Ye Hong's arms.    

    

"Haha, big brother, we meet again ~"
