Infinitely Criticizing the Villain for Being Like My Ex-Boyfriend

The citizens were whispering, but as if they wanted him to hear them on purpose, they slowly pushed his body towards the fire, and the crackling sound of the dry firewood startled him.

Zhang Chunliang shrank his neck and reluctantly explained: "This is the food I want to participate in the competition...! You, you can't...!"

No one took his weak resistance seriously. The thugs seemed to have received a signal and soon pushed and threw him out of the encirclement.

Zhang Chunliang fell to the ground and watched this group of people rushing over, smacking their lips, and eating the porridge he had worked so hard to prepare in big mouthfuls.

"You are robbers...! I'm going to report to the police!" His face turned red and he shouted indignantly.

No one took him seriously. He was just a poor guy who had to build his stove on the roadside. What kind of trouble could he cause?

Zhang Chunliang was angered by their careless ridicule. He jumped up and strangled one of the men by the neck, causing him to fall backwards and roll his eyes due to suffocation.

Suddenly, the two men started fighting fiercely, knocking over the surrounding lanterns and crowds. The flames rose high, scaring the citizens who were watching the excitement on the roadside.

The noise attracted the patrolling officers and soldiers. After hearing what the two men said, they pondered for a moment and then called in a thin man with gorgeous clothes and a moustache.

"I've heard that the people of the City That Never Sleeps are warm and honest, that's why I've come all the way here to attend your Evergreen Banquet!" Zhang Chunliang was extremely annoyed and pointed at the big shot's nose without any hesitation.

"I didn't expect that they were just a bunch of hooligans who had never seen the world! I just cooked a pot of porridge, but they actually let this group of starving ghosts snatch it away!"

His tone was contemptuous, making the faces of the citizens who were watching the fun around him turn ugly.

This thin man seemed to be of a high status, and when he heard outsiders slandering the City That Never Sleeps, he looked a little gloomy.

"Outsider, our Evergreen Banquet in the City That Never Sleeps has been held for many years, and there are innumerable delicacies at the banquet. Those guys just now were just some ignorant hooligans, and they are not enough to represent the tastes of all our citizens." The thin man tried to maintain his composure and said with a forced smile.

"Oh? Really?" Zhang Chunliang raised his eyebrows to express his doubt. "You may not know my identity yet. I am a chef with some reputation in our Huacheng. I came to your City That Never Sleeps to learn from my peers. I came here in a hurry this time, so I could only make something on the roadside to participate in the competition. But this food, which is not presentable, has made a group of you... hooligans obsessed with it, and you are fighting for it like dogs."

Zhang Chunliang's expression was full of arrogance, and he was obviously very confident in his own abilities. His tone was contemptuous, and his words were full of disdain for the City That Never Sleeps.

"Now I am really worried that the Never-Sleeping City has no foundation, and I will have to give up my diners all over Huacheng and make a trip for nothing."

"Where did you come from? You're yelling in our city that never sleeps!" The citizens watching the fun were furious at his extremely humiliating words. "When our Evergreen Banquet started, you were still in your mother's womb!"

"You are just trying to attract attention! You are nothing but a villain! Are you worthy enough to cook at our Evergreen Feast?"

"What you make is garbage, it stinks! Only ignorant people in your city will admire it. No one in our city that never sleeps will eat it!"

"Oh?" Zhang Chunliang accepted the insults from everyone, but his expression was half-smile, "Am I just trying to attract attention, or is your Changqing Banquet just a name for nothing? You'll know once you give it a try."

The thin man suddenly laughed, and his cold eyes scrutinized Zhang Chunliang's face for a moment: "So this is your purpose."

"What? You don't dare?" Zhang Chunliang mocked everyone with all his might, adding fuel to the anger of the crowd.

He had long observed that the officers and soldiers existed to maintain order. Even if he maliciously provoked them, the citizens still did not dare to take action because of the presence of the officers and soldiers.

Zhang Chunliang's words revealed that he was a person of high status in another city, which made the dissatisfied officers and soldiers afraid to take action against him.

What if he really is a big shot in a certain city, and is treated unfairly here, and spreads the news widely after returning? Then it will be hard to say what the reputation of Changqing Banquet will be in the future. Public opinion warfare has always been a powerful weapon, both in ancient times and in modern times.

The two-pronged checks and balances left everyone standing there helplessly and furiously.

His purpose was very clear. "I am too impatient to participate in your preliminary round. Why don't you just let me participate in your final round and see who can beat whom?"

As soon as he saw the huge crowds at the preliminary round, he had already decided to make something happen.

According to normal procedures, his health points might have been deducted by the system and he might not even be able to enter the competition venue.

But there must be a legitimate reason for causing trouble, otherwise even if he makes a big fuss, he will only be taken away by officers and soldiers for causing trouble.

Now, the incident was instigated by you people in the City That Never Sleeps, so naturally you have to give an explanation.

The thin man ordered someone to bring over his porridge pot. He didn't disdain it, and just reached out to pick up some leftover porridge from the bottom of the pot and put it into his mouth.

He smacked his lips for a moment and was stunned.

He picked up the cooking pot and looked at it for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.

The laughter made Zhang Chunliang confused. Did he reveal his true identity? He carefully recalled his performance just now. This was the best acting skill he had ever displayed in his life. It was quite perfect.

The thin man laughed so hard that he was out of breath. He finally stopped and let go.

He waved his hand to let the officers and soldiers come over and ordered them to take Zhang Chunliang to the main court.

"You, don't let me down." Before leaving, the man nodded Zhang Chunliang with a smile, his words meaningful.
