82: Chapter 82 Discovering the Assassin

The man instantly jumped, and the item in his hand, that small glass vial, suddenly dropped to the floor.

He suddenly turned around and quickly ran into Lin Heng.

This was the man he had seen opposite the target earlier...

"Who are you?"

"What are you doing in our kitchen?"

The man quickly calmed down and then hastily asked in a cold voice.

Heh?

Still pretending not to know?

But unfortunately, this time he ran into Lin Heng, who had ten million ways to make the man in front of him regret it.

"What did you just put in the soup?"

Lin Heng spoke calmly, his expression placid.

"I just added some seasonings. That's the trade secret for our Roasted Duck. What's there to talk about?"

The man was startled by Lin Heng at first, but now he quickly recovered.

His righteous and bold demeanor made people seriously doubt whether what he said was true.

But Lin Heng just chuckled.

"It's this late, and you're still trying to fool me?"

"If you are really an employee here, do you dare to confront the restaurant owner with me?"

"What is there to fear? I have worked here for so many years, done so many things. How could there be something I don't know? Go ahead and ask, find anyone."

The man became more and more confident, as if trying to prove that he was absolutely not an imposter.

The commotion here was getting bigger, and the people around also started to pay attention.

"What's going on?"

"Xiao Zhou, what's wrong with you?"

Soon, a person who looked like a manager walked over. Upon seeing the situation, a look of confusion immediately appeared on his face.

What happened?

"Manager Lin, quickly take a look! This guy came up and started saying things I don't understand, and even accused me of trying to harm them!"

The man who was called Xiao Zhou said indignantly.

This commotion quickly attracted many people from the restaurant to gather around.

Manager Lin also knew that the situation couldn't be allowed to escalate like this.

He glanced at Lin Heng in front of him, then quickly said:

"Sir, I don't know why you suspect my employee, but I have worked here for so many years. I am very clear about who comes and goes here, and Xiao Zhou has absolutely been working here the longest."

"To be honest, I understand Xiao Zhou the deepest. He absolutely would not suddenly do anything bad. You must have made a mistake."

Manager Lin said with certainty.

This...

Many people flooded over from the surroundings.

Most of them were employees of the shop.

They all nodded one after another.

"Yeah, Xiao Zhou has been with us for a long time. He absolutely wouldn't cause trouble. If he wanted to cause trouble, it definitely wouldn't be at this time."

"We have known Xiao Zhou for so many years. He is an honest person. How could he do something to harm others?"

"You must have made a mistake..."

The crowd chattered.

However, they were all certain of one thing: Xiao Zhou could not do anything bad to Lin Heng and the others.

Xiao Zhou stood among the crowd, his arms crossed, wearing a haughty expression.

He was very confident.

Hearing this, Lin Heng just chuckled.

"Heh, if you are truly that confident, why don't you take off that thing on your face before talking to us?"

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned for a moment.

In an instant, they all looked towards Xiao Zhou simultaneously.

Looking closely, there didn't seem to be anything different.

But if you look at the details...

This person seemed much more flamboyant than usual.

Normally, Xiao Zhou had very little expression on his face, and his face wouldn't even show any flamboyant smiles.

He was used to being an honest person, living a life of routine.

His facial expressions weren't rich, let alone showing such a lively expression.

Even when facing a customer complaint, Xiao Zhou would apologize calmly and sincerely. But now...

Perhaps the real Xiao Zhou would already be apologizing profusely.

Why would he be arguing here?

"You, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"What do I have to fear? But beneath this face of mine, there is only flesh and blood left. Even if you want to slander me, you need to find some evidence, right?"

Evidence?

Lin Heng immediately laughed when he heard this.

"Isn't the evidence simple? It's the glass bottle you accidentally knocked over just now, and besides that, the Roasted Duck next to you."

"You...!"

Xiao Zhou flushed red with embarrassment.

And soon, everyone also noticed something.

This Xiao Zhou's facial expression seemed a bit wrong... and his neck was red, but his face was still somewhat composed.

This was absolutely not normal!

And suddenly, they all remembered what Qin Huai had said before, and instantly everyone felt uneasy.

In the next second.

Lin Heng quickly walked over.

In front of everyone, he directly tore off the disguise on the other person's face.

Instantly, the face of a Western European man appeared before the crowd.

Ahhh...!

The crowd was instantly thrown into a panic.

"You are not Xiao Zhou, who are you!?"

And even more people were scared weak in the legs, scrambling out of the kitchen towards the outside world using their hands and feet.

But Xiao Zhou did not look at Manager Lin, instead staring coldly at Lin Heng.

"You brat, how did you discover me?"

His voice changed again, deep and hoarse, clearly belonging to a creature of darkness that had long hidden in the underground world.

"It's very simple. As an assassin, the killing intent cannot be hidden. I discovered you the moment you appeared."

"Initially, it was in the queue for the buffet, and later it was here."

"As an assassin, I have to admit, you are quite skilled in this regard."

"But it's a pity you ran into me."

Lin Heng shook his head slightly and said lightly.

"Hmph! I have to say, you do have some ability, but this is just your good luck. Next time, your luck won't be so good."

"Farewell!"

After speaking, the other party directly jumped towards the window.

His movements were extremely agile, and he actually jumped straight out through that window.

And this sound immediately attracted the attention of the people around.

"You are..."

Pfft...!

Blood streamed down.

As the newcomer asked, his throat was immediately slit.

Ahhh!!

The scene immediately descended into chaos.

The assassin glanced back. Lin Heng didn't seem to be chasing after him.

His heart moved slightly.

This was a great opportunity to kill Zhao Xuerou!
