The little zombie was sticking his butt in the air, digging out banana flesh. When he heard the noise, he stood up straight, holding a big spoon and watching the excitement.

“Boss, come out!”

“Hurry up! My sister ate your barbecue skewers, and it’s making her crazy. She’s been having nightmares all night long. You have to give me an explanation today!”

“Yeah, my husband can’t even go to work anymore! You have to give us an explanation today, or else!”

Several people stood at the entrance, shouting for the boss one after another. Although they weren’t holding any weapons, they looked like they were there to start a fight.

Upon hearing this, the fat uncle hurriedly wiped his hands with a rag and trotted out of the store.

As soon as the uncle saw them, his face was full of worry. Sweat, brought on by anxiety, streamed down his forehead, almost forming small streams. “Oh dear, why are you here again? I’ve already told you I’ve reported this matter to the police. The police will investigate it thoroughly.”

The group exchanged glances, and one of the men shouted loudly, “Who are you trying to fool? I’ve already asked around. The police station isn’t even handling your case.”

Seeing this, the fat uncle clasped his hands in a pleading gesture and begged, “Then you have to allow me to figure out the reason, don’t make any more trouble. Look at my business, it’s getting quieter and quieter. I have elderly parents above me and young children below me. The whole family is waiting for me to provide for them…”

“Who cares whether you can provide for them or not? In short, you have to pay compensation today. At least give us 20,000 yuan each first, and then we’ll see how it goes!”

Other customers who were eating all frowned in unison upon hearing this.

“Are they trying to extort money?”

“Looks like it… But what do they mean by having nightmares?”

“Could it be that the barbecue skewers aren’t clean? Or… are they not using beef and mutton…”

Sui Han rested his chin on his hand and looked over, his eyes blinking gently. He already knew the situation of the barbecue skewer shop in his dream. For now, he would observe and see what happens.

A group of people stood in front of the store, arguing incessantly, and the fat uncle’s face fell.

That day, when he went to the police station to report the case, the officer who received him scolded him, saying that he was just wasting their time coming to the police station for entertainment, and he was kicked out.

So, he was at a loss for what to do, and that’s why he prayed to the gods.

But it seemed that the gods were probably too busy to pay attention to him; otherwise, why would this group of people come again…

In fact, the fat uncle also understood that the public security in Shanhai City had always been good in the past, even to the point where doors weren’t locked at night and people didn’t pick up lost items on the road^[1]a traditional saying to describe a peaceful and honest society.

However, for some reason, cases have occurred frequently in recent years, and the police station has been short-staffed.

Naturally, they couldn’t bother with this seemingly nonsensical farce.

Because people came to make trouble frequently, the fat uncle also planned to personally grill a few skewers and taste them when he had time, to see if they would cause nightmares.

Just as the two sides argued fiercely, a shop assistant rushed out from inside.

The male shop assistant with dyed red hair quickly separated the two sides. With a smiling face, he said, “Everyone, please calm down. Our boss has been investigating this matter all along and has also suspected the meat quality. That’s why he’s negotiating with the supplier.”

Upon hearing this, the fat uncle opened his eyes in surprise. When had he ever suspected the meat quality?

The place where he got his supplies had never changed, and the price was even higher than his competitors’, all for the sake of ensuring quality.

But the red-haired man kept winking at him, and then turned to the people who came to demand compensation and said, “You guys go back first. We’ll initiate contacting you when we’ve dealt with it.”

“Go back where? If you don’t give us 20,000 today, I’ll smash your store!” the woman shouted from behind.

The man also snorted and said, “So it really is a meat quality problem, right? Now you’ve admitted it yourselves, what else is there to say? Hurry up and give us the money!”

The red-haired man blocked the man’s outstretched hand, seemingly also a little angry, “I’m telling you, a gentleman uses his words, not his fists!”

Sui Han: “…” Isn’t that backwards?

The man laughed in anger and shouted to the surrounding tables of customers, “Did you see that? The barbecue skewers have problems, and they’re still so arrogant. Don’t eat them, everyone. If you really have problems after eating them, they won’t compensate you!”

Sui Han stared at the red-haired man briefly, then stood up and walked closer.

The troublemaking man noticed him and immediately came up to ask, “What’s wrong, little brother? Did you also have problems after eating them?”

Sui Han pondered for a moment. He was a god, and the little zombie wasn’t an ordinary pet. So, the boy said in a cold and indifferent tone, “I probably won’t have any problems after eating them.”

He was going along with them for once, but he didn’t expect the man to get angry immediately, “Good, good tactics! You actually brought in a shill!”

The man spat twice, rolled up his sleeves, glared at Sui Han, and swung his arm over, “A shill deserves to die even more. I hate shills the most. I’ll take care of you first today—”

Seeing the fist coming, Sui Han calmly reached out and grabbed it, only using a little bit of strength, and the other party let out a pig-slaughtering scream.

“Ahhh!!!”

The people who came thought he was thin and weak, and assumed he was an easy target, but they didn’t expect to encounter someone powerful.

The woman behind him immediately ran out, wanting to push Sui Han away, but she didn’t dare, so she could only stomp her feet and say, “You, you, let go, let go!”

Sui Han let go, feeling a little noisy. This ‘human world’ did not seem as comfortable as he had imagined.

“Don’t be noisy.” The boy spoke, and his light sentence stopped the other party’s shouting.

The man looked at Sui Han in fear, gritted his teeth, and quickly left with the group, leaving behind a harsh sentence as he left, “I’ll be back!”

Seeing that the incident had been quelled, the red-haired man looked at Sui Han with unknown thoughts.

Sui Han met his gaze and said slowly, “You’re good at mediating disputes. Don’t mediate anymore in the future.”

The fat uncle immediately ran over and scolded the red-haired man, “What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and go inside to marinate the meat. Don’t stand here.” After saying that, he immediately thanked Sui Han repeatedly with gratitude.

Two tables of customers were still staring at them in a daze. The fat uncle immediately apologized, “Today, it’s on me. I’m sorry for the trouble, everyone.”

As Sui Han returned to his seat, he asked the fat uncle to grill another banana and send it over.

He picked up a skewer and took a bite. The freshly grilled taste was always better than takeout. The little zombie happily did twenty backflips beside him, seemingly thanking him for buying him a grilled banana.

“Eat, I’ll have you do something when you’re full.”

The little zombie stood beside the grilled banana, holding his hands together. His little hands felt cold but looked as chubby as a human baby’s.

Sui Han reached out, poked the back of his hand, and urged again, “Eat quickly.”

Then he picked up his phone, opened the browser, and searched for “Fat Uncle’s BBQ Skewer Shop.”

Immediately, a row of news articles popped up.

The boy clicked on one and read it carefully.
