Noah was stunned. Something still happened after all. This group of people really came with a bad intent.
He quickly pushed his way through the group of people and came to the front of Jane to protect her. He forced a smile and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Seeing Noah here, the cheesy old man then immediately grabbed Noah by his collar. "Your shady restaurant truly has done quite a harm to others!
Three of our friends began to have fever, vomit, and diarrhea not long after they dined here yesterday.
They are all hospitalized now!"
Noah was bewildered for a moment. He tried his best t o calm himself, and then he said, "Let's first go to the hospital to take a look. If it truly it's our responsibility, we will pay for all the medical expenses, alright?"
"Pay?" The cheesy old man sneered. "Can you afford to pay? Do you know how much they are worth? Each of the people who dined here yesterday is worth several tens of millions of dollars! What can you use to pay? Even if you were to pay with this small restaurant of yours, you still can’t afford to pay for the compensation!"
"Regardless of whether we can afford to pay or not, let's just first go to the hospital to take a look!" Noah said calmly.
"Alright! Come with me!"
Jane called out from behind him. "Noah...”
"Take care of my mother at home and wait for me to return. The worst case would just be us losing this restaurant to paying for the compensation. Even if we quit this business, we can still do odd jobs."
Jane nodded. Noah then followed the cheesy old man t o the hospital. He never returned after leaving with the man.
Both Jane and Noah's mother waited the whole morning at home, but there was no sign of Noah at all. They called Noah, but his phone had been switched off.
Around mid-afternoon, the old lady got so anxious that she cried. "My son, what...could have happened? My son..."
