I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 544 Why bother?

"one two three four five six……"

Three minutes later, Jiang Huashan was standing at the dock counting the payment notifications from her bank account.

No, isn't that how it's done now?

She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. "You opened this restaurant?"

Shen Guiling smiled and said, "How can I have the energy?"

It was just that the restaurant owner recognized him and wanted to make a good sale.

I can pick up two million by eating a meal. I will come again next time.

Jiang Huashan tried to suppress her smile and looked around. "Where's Yao Ge's boat? When will it arrive?"

Just as he finished speaking, a black car stopped in front of them, close to the road.

Mo Ran smiled and pushed the door open and got out of the car, "Master, Miss Jiang, are you done eating?"

"Assistant Mo?" Jiang Huashan was a little surprised.

Mo Ran nodded, "I've already made arrangements at the dock. Please get in the car."

No wonder Shen Guiling could have dinner with her leisurely. It turned out that he had an all-round assistant behind him.

Shen Guiling opened the car door and motioned Jiang Huashan to get in first. The moment she raised her eyes, she saw someone waving at her on the open deck of the ferry.

Shen Guiling turned his head, looked back at Mo Ran, bent down and got into the car.

Mo Ran remained calm, supporting the roof of the car with one hand, glanced at the deck, and got into the car as if nothing had happened.

The vehicle sped away, leaving behind a long trail of taillights.

"That car has a South Bay license plate. Even though it doesn't have a logo, it doesn't look cheap."

"How expensive could it be? Didn't you hear what the waiter said? They sold the wine Nini gave them to cash in. How low-class!"

"That man didn't even dare to look at us. He must have been intimidated by Nini's financial resources! Nini, how can those stinky men survive when you're so arrogant?"

An Jiani was surrounded by everyone and turned a deaf ear to the clumsy flattery around her. She was still recalling the look Mo Ran gave her when he got in the car.

"Miss An." The sudden appearance of the sommelier interrupted An Jiani's thoughts.

An Jiani quickly put Mo Ran out of her mind, her hands on the railing, her face full of superiority, "Did you ask? How much did it sell for?"

The sommelier took out the receipt and said, "According to our restaurant's policy, we'd give you a 20% discount on everything, but the gentleman said he's a regular customer and wanted to get the original price."

"Oh?" An Jiani took the bill with two fingers.

The girls around him covered their mouths and giggled, "He's so good-looking, but I didn't expect him to be so dumb. Doesn't he know that half of the boats in this ferry area belong to the An family? He might as well beg our Nini instead of the boss. Maybe our Nini will be happy and reward him with another bottle."

An Jiani smiled, but her expression changed the moment she glanced at the bill.

"Two million?!"

I was originally mocking the girls for their reversal of attitude, and my face was full of disbelief. "Nini, is it that the hotel manager took kickbacks?"

The sommelier shook his head. "This is a special approval from the chairman."

"Chairman? Isn't that my uncle? How could that be?" The girls looked at An Jiani in confusion.

Others didn’t understand, but An Jiani, who had experienced the fierce competition in the business world since she was a child, immediately realized that something was wrong.

Merchants are driven by profit. Her father, who normally would have bought the wine for 96 yuan, offered more than double the price. He wasn't really accepting the wine, but a favor. Who was this person, the one who even her father had to lower himself to please?

An Jiani had a bad feeling.

"That's all for today, let's go first." She waved goodbye to the female companion beside her, intending to go home and ask what happened in person.

The young lady was used to having her own way, and the people around her didn't dare to have any opinions, so they quickly followed behind her. A group of people were preparing to get off the ferry.

Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded along the entire coastline. The guests on the boat were startled by the alarm and came out of the restaurant one after another.

"What happened?"

The coastal intersection was filled with police cars. A group of police officers got out of the cars and gathered at the ferry. The man in the lead was wearing an officer's cap and looked menacing.

An Jiani recognized the other person's identity at a glance. He was Nanwan Chief Police Officer Sima Wen. After Yao Yongwei died in the line of duty, he took over the position of Chief of Nanwan Police Station. He has been doing well in the past two years and has been a frequent guest of the An family.

Why would such a person suddenly visit the harbor? Could something unexpected have happened nearby?

Before she could figure it out, Ma Wen led a group of police officers directly onto the ship. He looked around with a stern expression and asked, "Who is the person in charge here?"

"It's me." The restaurant manager walked out from the crowd with a flattering smile on his face. "Sir, what can I do for you?"

Ma Wen took the search warrant handed to him by his younger brother. "According to reports from the public, your restaurant is suspected of reselling cultural relics. This is a search warrant."

"Selling cultural relics?" The manager's face turned pale with fear. "This... this is impossible! Sir, we are operating legally." After saying this, he deliberately stepped forward to curry favor with the An family. "Sir, we are the An family..."

"What's the point of being safe? National cultural relics reflect the different national conditions of each generation. We can only know whether they are legally operated after checking."

As soon as he finished speaking, the police officers behind him immediately went out to search.

Seeing that these officials showed no mercy at all, the manager knew that he was being targeted maliciously. However, this was in Nanwan, who else could target the An family?

The manager smiled and turned to wink at the clerk behind him. The clerk understood and quickly ran out of the crowd to call for help.

"Nini, what's going on?"

The An family was able to monopolize the South Bay Port, so they had naturally taken care of everything they needed to. Logically, this scene should not have happened.

An Jiani said with a cold face, "You ask me, who should I ask?"

The girl who asked the question was startled and didn't dare to respond.

Over there, the manager brought a leather chair to Ma Wen. "Sir, please sit down. We will certainly cooperate with you, but don't worry, our restaurant is spotless and there will definitely be no artifacts found."

Just as he finished speaking, two police officers came out of the restaurant carrying a wooden box. "Sir, we found it."

found it?

The manager was so frightened that his legs went weak. When he saw what they were calling cultural relics, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Sir, it's a misunderstanding. This is wine. If you don't believe me, open it and have a sip."

What the police officers found was Piper-Heidsieck champagne, which was priced at 1.2 million yuan per bottle.

"A misunderstanding?" Ma Wen casually picked up a bottle of champagne, looked at it, and sneered, "The evidence is irrefutable, and you still dare to say it's a misunderstanding? Come, handcuff all those involved."

"Wait!" An Jiani's face changed drastically, and she walked out of the crowd with a gloomy face. "Director Ma, with so many people watching, you have to provide evidence before arresting someone, right? These are indeed ordinary bottles of wine. The restaurant has a liquor business license, so isn't it normal for them to sell alcohol? How can you use this as a reason to arrest someone?"

Ma Wen frowned and looked at her. "Who are you? Are you related to this restaurant?"

An Jiani raised her chin and said, "My last name is An, and this restaurant is my family's business."

"That's perfect, let's arrest them together. This wine was salvaged from a deep-sea shipwreck. The ship involved in the salvage was the Nanwan warship. Someone with ulterior motives could calculate the depth of the sinking simply by looking at the liquid and pressure in the wine. You're leaking our national defense intelligence. Even worse, you're suspected of treason."

An Jiani, "..."

She had thought she would get some preferential treatment if she told her name, but she didn't expect that she would die even faster.
