The man walked over and squatted down, Liu Zhen looked down, and in the crack of the door under his feet, a card was plugged in.

Looking up at the outside again, the man was gone.

Liu Zhen picked up the piece of paper, and a few words were written on it, "Half past one in the morning, the bathroom on the first floor, the topic of tomorrow's competition." ”

I see.

Liu Zhen smiled, this man is here to sell the topic, this competition is not what he is going to do, but random selection, a total of five questions, according to the ingredients written on the topic to cook as the center.

This person should be the person who claims to know the topic and secretly sells it.

Liu Zhen touched his chin, it seemed that he needed to go to see what kind of medicine was sold in this person's gourd.

After all, the person who made the question was Yu Yue, if Liu Zhen remembered correctly, in order to avoid leaking the question, Yu Yue planned to come up with the question two hours before the competition, so this person is a liar at all!

At half past one in the morning, Liu Zhen put on his coat and cap and went out.

Liu Zhen secretly observed from a pantry in the corridor.

On the first floor of the hotel, sure enough, there were already more than a dozen people waiting there, and several people knew what the other party wanted to do, and they all knew it, and they didn't seem to communicate with each other.

At forty o'clock, the man in the black jacket came, looked at the people who came around, and smiled, "There are a lot of people coming, come here, everyone come with me." ”

I don't know what this person is planning, if it is a topic, this person has not said the price of the distance, which is not in line with a businessman's thinking.

Liu Zhen was suspicious, and followed them out of the hotel from a distance, and in a broken alley next to the hotel, the man in the jacket stopped, looked back at the dozen or so people behind him, "Want "Fragrant Sky"?"

At this time, a young man beside the man said impatiently, "Don't talk too much, tell me, what's the topic?

"Hehe, are you too naïve?" As soon as the man in the jacket finished speaking, he suddenly rushed out of the alleyway and four or five men in black rushed out, and without saying a word, they punched.

The dozen or so people present turned around and wanted to escape, but it was too late, and four or five killer-level men subdued a dozen or so helpless cooks in three or two clicks.

Liu Zhen was shocked, it seems that the people in the dark kitchen have already started to start?

Without startling the snake, Liu Zhen turned around and knocked back to the hotel.

Yu Yue was sleeping soundly, the phone rang suddenly, opened his eyes, glanced at the time, two o'clock in the morning, Liu Zhen's phone!

"Liu Zhen, what happened to you?" Yu Yue's heart was pounding.

"It's not me who has an accident, it's someone else. ”

Liu Zhen's voice came from the mobile phone, Yu Yue heard his calm voice and breathed a sigh of relief, "You're fine, what's going on?"

"The people in the dark kitchen have already started to do it, and just now someone tricked eleven people into the alley next to the hotel in the name of selling the topic and tied them up. Liu Zhen asked calmly, "Do you need us to rescue them?"

Yu Yue thought for a while and turned over in the bed, "There's no need, these people are definitely not from the Dark Night Kitchen, and besides, after entering the competition, they still want to be opportunistic by buying questions, such people are not disqualified from the competition, they are not worthy of participating in the competition." ”

"Well, good. ”

"You be careful, notify me in time if something happens, and also, I have a killer next to you, and they will come out to protect you as soon as something happens, so you don't have to worry too much, just play with peace of mind." Yu Yue's voice sounded a little gentle.

"Good. ”

Liu Zhen hung up the phone and fell asleep after a while.

At six o'clock the next morning, Liu Zhen woke up, this morning to group first, and then start the game, Liu Zhen got up early to pack his things and walked out of the room.

"Brother Liu Zhen!" Listening to the voice, Liu Zhen knew that it was Zhang Qingyi.

"Have you heard? Eleven people packed up their things in the middle of the night today and announced their withdrawal from the competition. Zhang Qingyi said, looking Liu Zhen up and down, "Yesterday, you also received the card?"

"Hmm. Liu Zhen nodded.

"These people don't have brains. Zhang Qingyi smiled, "Liu Zhen, it seems that we have eleven fewer opponents, I don't know if I will be in a group with you today?"

"We'll know when the time comes. Liu Zhen didn't speak, walked steadily, walked out of the hotel, and stopped a taxi.

"Wait for me! I'm also going to Xianyu Shengshi!" Zhang Qingyi hurriedly caught up with Liu Zhen.

The group competition was in the prosperous era of fresh fishing, and all the chefs rushed over to prepare for the group arrangement.

As soon as the car arrived at Xianyu Shengshi, Liu Zhen was surprised by the deafening cheers, this time the game was so sensational, the gate of Xianyu Shengshi was crowded with spectators, fortunately this is the size of a square, otherwise it would really hinder traffic.

"There are so many people, Liu Zhen, you work here?"

"Hmm. ”

"Can't you smile, how handsome you laugh!" Zhang Qingyi didn't leave an inch, and Liu Zhen felt a headache.

Liu Zhen changed into competition clothes, stood among the contestants, and saw Yu Yue greeting him in the crowd from a distance.

Because Liu Zhen is a person in the prosperous world of fresh fishing, he wants to avoid suspicion, so Liu Zhen tries not to have too much communication with Yu Yue during the competition, so as not to attract gossip.

Liu Zhen and Yu Yue looked at each other, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"That woman is Yu Yue?" Zhang Qingyi suddenly approached Liu Zhen and whispered in Liu Zhen's ear.

"Hmm. Liu Zhen quietly took two steps to the side, away from Zhang Qingyi.

Yu Yue saw a woman beside Liu Zhen with a hot figure and a face like a peach blossom smiled and said something in Liu Zhen's ear, and suddenly felt a strange emotion arise spontaneously.

She was irritable, frowned, picked up her phone to look at the time, and then walked to the playing field with her high heels, "Hello everyone, let's start drawing lots and grouping." ”

A box was taken out by Miss Manners, and inside was a grouped note.

Miss Manners stopped in front of everyone who competed, and no one pulled out a slip of paper with the grouping on it.

There were twenty-four people left, and they were divided into eight groups of three people each.

Liu Zhen pulled out a note, opened it and saw that it was the third group.

"Hey, Liu Zhen, how many groups are you?" Zhang Qingyi next to him was talking to Liu Zhen again, Liu Zhen was helpless, "The third group." ”

The woman's disappointed expression was not hidden at all, "It's really unlucky, I wanted to compete with you, I'm in the fifth group......"

Liu Zhen didn't speak, and at this time, a man laughed softly, "You are from the third group? ”

Listening to the sound a little familiar, Liu Zhen turned his eyes to look over, it turned out to be the "King of Chefs" Zhang Junwei?

"Fortunately. Liu Zhen narrowed his eyes and said hello.

"I'm in the fifth group. ”

Zhang Junwei and Liu Zhen looked back at the past, a beautiful woman smiled slightly, her long hair was pulled up with a hairpin, and she felt like a classical beauty.

"Contemptible Wang Yangmin, please give me a lot of advice. The classical beauty bowed her head and said hello, turned around and left.

It turns out that she is Wang Yangmin, who is famous for making vegetarian food, it seems that this competition is all interesting people, Liu Zhen clenched his fists slightly.

"Okay, let's get ready, and in an hour, start the game according to the group!" Yu Yue announced.
