Chapter 76 His dog, still has all its teeth?
Luo Yi stepped forward personally.
He ignored Tang Zhen and Lin Chen, his eyes only on the two hibernation pods radiating a strong life force.
The head chef, who held absolute authority in the kitchen, now looked serious and cautiously approached the first hibernation pod.
He reached out and ran his trembling fingers over the sea cucumber's fleshy spines inside the cabin, feeling its elastic texture.
The surrounding suppliers didn't dare to breathe, all their attention focused on Luo Yi's face, waiting for him to give the results.
Ghost Hand's face was no longer white, but gray.
Luo Yi closed his eyes, feeling the aura from the deep sea.
A few seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes shining, and turned to look at Tang Zhen. His voice rose with excitement, echoing throughout the entire dock square.
"Top quality."
"In my 30 years in the industry, I have never seen such a vibrant two-headed sea cucumber."
"Their cell activity is even higher than that of cells that have just left the water, which is simply unbelievable."
Tang Zhen's tense body instantly relaxed, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Lin Chen had completely changed from initial suspicion to admiration.
An uproar immediately erupted in the crowd.
"Since Chef Luo said so, it must be top-quality."
"Five hours...he really did it..."
"Dragon's Backbone Ocean Shipping... remember this name."
Those suppliers who had been waiting to see the joke fall apart were now feeling ashamed.
Ghost Hand's legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Beside him, a henchman named Skinny Monkey scanned the crowd with venomous eyes, finally fixing his gaze on the forklift that was preparing to lift the next piece of precision equipment from the control panel.
It contains the belly meat of a live bluefin tuna, which is much more delicate than sea cucumber and requires a constant temperature.
If the forklift's power is cut off, the equipment will fall out of control, and everything inside will be destroyed.
A ruthless glint flashed in the skinny monkey's eyes. He quietly moved his feet, his body concealed by the crowd, and crept towards the unloading forklift.
His hand was already in his pocket, where a pair of special pliers capable of instantly cutting cables was hidden.
No one noticed his subtle movements; everyone was captivated by the awe-inspiring sight of the two sea cucumbers.
However, just as the skinny monkey's hand was about to touch the power cord at the rear of the forklift, Lin Chen, who had been facing away from him as if talking to Tang Zhen, suddenly saw the system interface flash in his mind.
[Warning: Malicious sabotage detected, located 3 meters to the left rear, target: forklift main power supply.]
Lin Chen didn't even turn his head.
His conversation with Tang Zhen did not stop, but he suddenly slammed his left elbow backward at a tricky angle.
"Bang."
A dull thud of flesh colliding.
Just as the skinny monkey was about to strike, he felt a pain in his abdomen that instantly spread throughout his body.
He couldn't even scream; his body was bent over, his feet off the ground, as he was slammed against the metal wall of the shipping container behind him by the enormous force.
Then, he slid down the wall to the ground, clutching his stomach, curling up and convulsing, foaming at the mouth.
The surrounding noise stopped.
Everyone stared in astonishment at the skinny monkey on the ground, then at Lin Chen, who was still facing away from them, completely bewildered by what had happened.
Lin Chen then slowly turned around, his eyes coldly sweeping over the skinny monkey convulsing on the ground.
He walked over slowly and, amidst the skinny monkey's painful groans, pulled a cell phone that was still on a call from his pocket.
Lin Chen put the phone to his ear, and immediately heard Ghost Hand's low-pitched roar.
"waste."
"Let's do it."
"What are you dawdling about?"
"Cut it off."
Everyone around looked at the pale-faced Ghost Hand, their eyes filled with contempt and anger.
Hearing the shouting on the phone, Lin Chen only said one sentence into the receiver.
"Shao Kun's dog, haven't all its teeth fallen out yet?"
The voice of Ghost Hand on the other end of the phone abruptly stopped.
next second.
Click.
Lin Chen clenched his fingers, and the latest model of the fruit phone made a piercing cracking sound in his hand. The screen shattered, and the entire body was deformed by his forceful grip.
Black screen fragments and metal parts fell through his fingers.
Tang Zhen was the first to react. His face turned ashen, and he pointed at Ghost Hand and his accomplices on the ground, shouting sternly.
"security guard."
"Throw these scumbags out of here."
"Call the police."
"Sue them for sabotage."
He paused, then raised his voice to make sure everyone present could hear him.
"From today onwards, these individuals, and any companies behind them, are never allowed to set foot within a five-kilometer radius of Marriott."
"I said it."
When Ghost Hand was lifted up by two hotel security guards, he didn't even have the strength to struggle.
It’s over.
Shao Kun is finished too.
Several troublemakers were dragged away in a disheveled state.
The time is 4:55 PM.
Under Luo Yi's personal supervision, all ingredients were inspected and found to be perfectly compliant with, and even far exceeded, the highest standards stipulated in the betting agreement. Whether it was the two-headed black sea cucumber, the active bluefin bream, or other rare fish, each item met the standards perfectly.
Without any further hesitation, Tang Zhen accepted the contract and pen handed to him by his assistant in front of all the suppliers, and signed his name on the last page in a flamboyant manner.
He made two copies and solemnly handed one to Lin Chen.
"Mr. Lin, from now on, for the next three years, you and your Dragon Ridge Ocean will be the sole exclusive supplier for Marriott Jiangcheng."
Lin Chen calmly took the contract, didn't even look at it, and casually handed it to Sun Heizi behind him.
Sun Heizi hurriedly took it, holding the thin piece of paper with immense weight in his arms, his face flushed with excitement.
Lin Chen swept his gaze across the room. Those suppliers who had once mocked and watched from the sidelines all lowered their heads, their eyes now filled with awe and envy.
The hotel staff began carefully transferring the precious ingredients, and the crowd gradually dispersed.
Luo Yi strode over, his attitude even more respectful than before, even with a hint of ingratiation.
"Mr. Lin."
"I've already arranged for the best chef to prepare those two black abalone."
"But... just now in the third hibernation pod, I saw a fish that was completely blood red. What kind of fish was that?"
"Forgive my poor eyesight, but in my thirty years in this industry, I have never seen anything like it."
Tang Zhen also came over; he was equally curious about the fish.
The aura emanating from that fish was even more peculiar than that of the two sea cucumbers.
Lin Chen looked at the distant river and spoke calmly.
"That's not for the hotel."
"That's something else, something to prolong the life of another old man."
