Hell’s Handbook - Chapter 313

Chapter 313 The Lins

Su Jin and Su Qing were shocked when the doctor suddenly collapsed. One of the waitresses shrieked because the doctor’s eyes had rolled upward.

The manager in charge of the main dining area of Eight Tastes Restaurant immediately came running over to ask what happened. When he discovered that the doctor’s heart was no longer beating, he was too stunned to speak.

Su Jin was a little embarrassed by this point. What happened to the doctor was actually very simple. His psychokinesis had overwhelmed the doctor. His eyes were an outlet for his psychokinesis, and he had forgotten to suppress it when the doctor stared directly into them earlier. The doctor’s consciousness collapsed, resulting in this situation.

“Doctor! Someone, call the doctor!” yelled the manager frantically.

“He’s the doctor!” The waitress was very panicky and pointed at the man lying on the floor instead of getting another doctor.

Su Jin sighed quietly and said, “There’s no need to panic. This gentleman is just…suffering from acute dizziness. Stand aside, let him have a little breathing space.” Su Jin then squatted down and placed his hands on the doctor’s chest as though he was performing CPR. But in reality, he sent his psychokinesis into the doctor’s consciousness via his palms to help reconstruct his psyche.

Several seconds later, the doctor slowly exhaled, then opened his eyes to look confusedly at the people crowding around him. The crowd slowly walked away when they saw that he had regained consciousness.

“Thank god! Dr. Xu, you really gave us a scare just now!” The manager was so relieved to see the doctor get to his feet. If something untoward happened to this doctor within the restaurant, then the restaurant would have to bear full responsibility.

“What… what happened to me just now?” The doctor was still confused.

“Dr. Xu, you collapsed earlier and if not for this gentleman here, you might have been beyond hope,” said the waitress to the doctor.

The doctor turned to look toward Su Jin and shuddered suddenly. He was about to say something when he saw a silver glint in Su Jin’s eyes. That frightened him and he immediately kept his mouth shut, wondering if Su Jin was a monster who wanted to silence him.

“Alright, since everything’s turned out fine, send us our food as soon as possible!” Su Jin smiled. He could have erased the doctor’s memories, but it didn’t really matter. If the doctor hadn’t been so curious, this wouldn’t have happened.

The doctor quickly nodded and scrambled to get the food prepared. His heart continued to pound wildly after he left the main dining hall. When he checked Su Jin’s pulse, Su Jin’s ridiculously strong and healthy pulse had already given him a shock. Then when he looked into Su Jin’s eyes, he felt like his brain exploded and he couldn’t remember anything after that.

“Xu, why are you just standing here?” The chef paired with this doctor noticed that he was just hiding in the staff-only area. The chef walked toward him and said, “There are many people waiting for their food, so could you move a little faster?”

The doctor nodded vigorously. He didn’t dare to take too long with Su Jin’s food, so he got their food ready in no time.

Su Jin and Su Qing tried the food, and it did taste pretty good. As for whether it was truly beneficial to the body, Su Jin didn’t really care. As long as Su Qing enjoyed it, he was happy.

They were enjoying their food when a young man in his twenties suddenly marched up to their table and said with a snobbish expression on his face, “You two were the ones who caused trouble earlier?”

Su Jin put a piece of food into his mouth, glanced at the young man, then said grimly, “Did you say I caused trouble? I only remember saving someone, I don’t remember causing any trouble.”

It was obvious that the young man had been drinking because his breath reeked of alcohol. He immediately flew into a rage when he heard Su Jin’s response and cursed, “Stop being so fucking pretentious with me! Don’t you know who owns Eight Tastes? How dare you cause trouble at MY restaurant?! You must be fucking tired of living!”

Su Qing was terribly frightened. She had just arrived in S City, and within the span of one meal, she had seen someone collapse, and now, someone else was here to make things difficult for them. Her impression of this cosmopolitan city deteriorated significantly.

Su Jin furrowed his brows and said to the young man, “Apologize.”

“What did you say?” The young man was stunned for a moment before he burst out laughing. “HAHA! Are you telling me to apologize? You must be a dumbass!”

“Very well then.” Su Jin nodded. A silver glint flashed in his eyes, then the young man trembled and collapsed with a loud thud, just like what happened to Dr. Xu earlier.

The manager couldn’t believe his eyes. This young man was none other than the son of the boss of the restaurant. The young man had been drinking with his friends in a private room and was already drunk when he heard there had been a commotion in the main dining hall. In his drunken state, he came out to confront the person causing the commotion. The manager quickly came running over to stop the young man from doing so when he heard about it, but he was too late. The young man was already lying on the floor by the time he arrived.

“Young… Young Master!” The manager ran over to help the young man get up, but when he placed a finger under the young man’s nostrils, he was horrified to discover that the young man was no longer breathing. He bent over to listen to the young man’s heartbeat, but there wasn’t any. That meant… the young man was dead.

The entire restaurant started getting restless. In less than half an hour, two people had collapsed in the main dining hall. Was the place cursed or something?

Su Qing was even more stunned. What was going on with the people in this city? Why were they just collapsing in public like that? And it happened one after another too. Was this S City’s special way of welcoming a person from out of town?

“Ignore him. Eat more of this, it’s good for you,” Su Jin said to Su Qing. The young master of this restaurant had been asking for it, so there was no point in keeping such a trashy person alive.

The manager looked at Su Jin pleadingly, but Su Jin did not budge and continued eating with his sister. The manager had no choice but to quickly call for an ambulance. The doctors in the restaurant were capable doctors, but they weren’t trained in emergency services like the western medicine doctors were.

In no time, the ambulance came. After that, a very well-dressed couple entered the restaurant. The woman ran in with tears streaming down her face. That was probably the young man’s mother.

The man was much calmer, but he kept saying to the medical team, “Doctors, can you hurry up? How’s my son? How’s he?”

The doctor who came with the ambulance checked the young man over, then shook his head. “Mr. Lin, please calm down. Based on what I can see, your son no longer has any vital signs. Of course, if… you insist on trying to save him, we will still try our best.”

The parents of the young man were stunned. A lack of vital signs basically meant their son was dead. The woman immediately fainted.

Mr. Lin forced himself to remain calm as he grit his teeth and said to the doctor, “Save him! No matter what, we’ve got to try whatever we can!”

The medical team didn’t refuse. Regardless of whether the young man was revived or not, the parents were going to pay for their services, so everyone got the young man into the ambulance as well as his unconscious mother.

The ambulance drove off quickly, but Mr. Lin did not leave the restaurant. He found out what happened from the manager, then walked over to Su Jin and Su Qing’s table. He glared at Su Jin and said, “Sir, don’t you think you owe me an explanation regarding my son?”

Su Jin looked at him and couldn’t help but break into a smile. This father and son were two of a kind. He said quietly, “Explain things? What sort of explanation do I owe you? I merely came to have a meal at your restaurant and your son came to make trouble for me. I didn’t even touch him. What explanation do you want?”

“My friend, stop pretending. My son just said a few things to you and he died? You didn’t do anything to him at all? I won’t believe that!” said Mr. Lin through gnashed teeth.

This man’s quite smart, thought Su Jin. He smiled and said, “Whether you believe me or not doesn’t have anything to do with me. If you think I’m the problem, then go ahead and prove it. If you can’t prove it, then please stop interrupting my meal.”

Su Qing was a little nervous as she watched her brother argue with Mr. Lin. She felt that her brother was in the right. It was true that they hadn’t done anything to the young man. It was the young man who had tried to give them trouble.

Mr. Lin was so angry that his hands were shaking. He glared nastily at Su Jin and said, “Don’t you dare think you can rely on the police for everything in the world… young man, if you actually did something, you’d better apologize right now and tell me exactly what you did. If you do that, I might let you walk out of here alive.”

“Sure. You can call anybody you like, I don’t care if they work for the law or not.” Su Jin didn’t want to waste time arguing with him. But immediately after he finished speaking, another person entered the restaurant.

He looked up and realized that this person was actually Han Mengyao. Had she come because the special police was alerted to this case? He never knew the special police was this efficient. And if she wasn’t here because of that, then was she here to give him trouble?

“Miss Han!” Mr. Lin immediately bounced up when he saw Han Mengyao, as though he just saw a ray of hope in the darkness. He quickly said, “Miss Han, you already know what happened? I just know this fellow must have done something! Capture him! Capture him and save my son!”

Han Mengyao looked completely confused. She wasn’t here to work. Today was her day off, and she was here to look for Su Jin. She didn’t know what she was going to do once she found him, but she felt like looking him up. Or rather, Han Mengyao wasn’t even sure if she would find Su Jin here in the first place. She behaved more like a fan who heard that her idol was in the vicinity.

“Mr. Lin, I… I don’t understand what’s going on,” said Han Mengyao with a confused look on her face.

Mr. Lin wasn’t expecting that response. He quickly explained, “My son spoke with this man for a while, then… then he collapsed and died. I suspect this man has done something to him. Miss Han, I know what department you work for. You’re the only one who can save my son now.”

Han Mengyao glanced at Su Jin, then asked Mr. Lin, “You’re sure it’s him?”

“That’s right, it’s him! One of my restaurant’s doctors spoke to him and collapsed, then the same thing happened to my son, so it’s definitely him.” This Mr. Lin was capable of putting two and two together. He was certain that Su Jin was the problem.

Han Mengyao’s lips curled into a faint smile. She said gravely to Mr. Lin, “Don’t worry, Mr. Lin. Protecting the residents of S City is my responsibility. I will take him back with me right now.”
