Chapter 460: Chapter 460: I Will Make You Convinced Wholeheartedly

"Lin Fan, the soup is here!"

When Li Qiqi pushed open the door of the private room.

She timidly eyed the man standing inside.

Their faces were stern, making people’s hearts jump with fear.

Moreover, all of their left hands were bandaged.

Bloodstains were still visible on the floor.

If she hadn’t known that Lin Fan was inside,

she wouldn’t have dared to enter.

"Come on in."

Sitting inside, Lin Fan waved at her with a smile.

Only then did Li Qiqi carry the lunchbox and slip in along the wall.

"Little girl, long time no see, looks like you’ve developed quite a bit."

Lu Feifei looked at Li Qiqi with a smile.

Since their last encounter at the bar, she had taken every chance to tease this adorable loli.

"I have not."

The green Li Qiqi, how could she spar with a young matron.

Blushing, she ran to Lin Fan’s side as if escaping for her life.

"Lin Fan, why didn’t you come to me when you wanted soup?"

"This bowl of soup isn’t for me to drink, but to challenge someone else with. If I lose, your sister Feifei will suffer a huge loss."

Lin Fan smiled as he took the lunchbox and explained the situation to her.

After hearing this, Li Qiqi suddenly became nervous.

"Lin Fan, why didn’t you say so earlier? You said it was urgent, so I just made a simple vegetable tofu soup. How can it compare with the fancy restaurant’s? Maybe I should go back and properly make a pot."

"You’re completely unaware of your own culinary talent. Don’t worry, even your casually made vegetable tofu soup is more than enough for him to learn from for a lifetime," Lin Fan said, patting Li Qiqi’s head affectionately.

This little girl had no idea how incredible her cooking skills were.

"Qi Qi, if you help me out this time, I’ll owe you a huge favor. Once this is over, I’ll make sure to properly thank you..."

Lu Feifei whispered in Qi Qi’s ear with a smiling face, making her face turn as red as an apple.

"Alright!"

In the end, Li Qiqi nodded.

The last time she asked Zhao Jiaqi for help, it didn’t work out.

But now with opportunity knocking, she had to take it.

"Now that my takeout has arrived, I wonder if the ’Culinary God’s’ soup is ready?"

Lin Fan didn’t even give the lunchbox a glance.

He had absolute confidence in Li Qiqi.

It wasn’t long before the door to the private room was pushed open.

Xu Dakang entered the room carrying a basin.

However, originally brimming with pride, he got startled upon seeing the Lone Wolves.

As he faced this group of desperados,

the smile vanished from his face.

The display sobered up his excited mind instantaneously.

Realizing he was bargaining with tigers, Xu Dakang suddenly had the urge to retreat.

"Mr. Xu, since you’ve made it, bring it over," Lin Fan said, waving his hand at Xu Dakang with a beaming smile.

He then mustered the courage to come inside.

But feeling a chill down his spine, he only then discovered,

that Sister Phoenix was standing right behind him.

Of everyone present, only he was sitting there.

It was a symbol of status.

"Mr. Xu, what kind of soup have you made? Introduce it, please," Lin Fan said, smiling as he looked at the creamy white soup,

smelling the aroma from a distance.

"This... this... is... a seafood soup... with eel, hen, and pork bones as the base, and... the meatballs... are made of cuttlefish, lobster, flower crab, mixed with grouper meat..."

Xu Dakang stood there, his demeanor studiously correct.

His mind was now a complete mess.

Yet he had no way out.

"Well, it does smell really good, and my takeout has also arrived, but for the sake of fairness, let’s do a blind choice. As for judges, we’ll use your disciples. Do you think that’s fair?"

Lin Fan smiled as he opened the lunch box beside him.

Seeing the green vegetable and tofu soup inside, Xu Dakang’s eyes almost popped out of his head.

These were two soups as different as heaven and earth; the better one was already clear. Was there even any need for a competition?

"No need... I... I concede..."

It was only now that Xu Dakang truly took a good look at Lin Fan.

His mannerisms and temperament were completely different from the person he had met before.

And those menacing-looking people were all looking at him with utter respect.

Even Feifei, who was once overwhelmingly powerful, now stood obediently behind him.

She looked just like a maid.

"Don’t be like that. Although your cooking skills really aren’t up to par, we still have to compete. Today I intend to not only make you admit defeat verbally but also in your heart."

Lin Fan clearly understood why Xu Dakang, who was so defiant just a moment ago, suddenly couldn’t speak a complete sentence.

But this verbal submission without sincerity was not what he wanted.

"I... concede with my heart, too."

Though reluctant, Xu Dakang knew he had to prioritize his survival.

He also began to think about ways to escape.

"Don’t worry, Phoenix is now on a legitimate path, and these violent affairs have nothing to do with you."

Lin Fan waved at Lone Wolf.

They immediately withdrew.

"Since this is a culinary contest, we are competing on taste. Whether it’s delicious or not, it’s not for you to say, nor for me to say. The most fair way to judge is just like this!"

Lin Fan snapped his fingers.

Feifei immediately handed over two large bowls.

Lin Fan personally poured the two soups into them.

Then he put a box over each bowl of soup.

He also wrote numbers one and two on them respectively.

Only then did he turn back and look at Feifei.

"Are your disciples ready?"

"They’re ready and waiting at the door."

Lu Feifei clapped her hands.

Only then was the door to the private room opened.

Following the lead of two women with golden hairpins,

thirty disciples entered single file, each holding a soup spoon.

"One of these bowls was made by your master, and the other by this young beauty. But which is which, they themselves do not know. Next, each of you will have a taste, you must not speak, and there’ll be no signaling to each other. Then just mark a tick on the blackboard with chalk. Do you all understand the rules?"

Lin Fan spoke with a grim face, explaining the rules to the thirty people.

Instinctively, these people looked to their master for guidance.

But Xu Dakang didn’t know which bowl was his creation either.

He could only bow his head in silence.

"Begin."

With a command from Lin Fan,

the thirty people finally stepped forward, taking a small sip from each of the bowls with the soup spoons in their hands.

Then they move towards the blackboard with eyes shining, each eager to cast their vote.

Soon, the segment which Xu Dakang found boring was over.

Looking at the blackboard, all thirty people cast their votes for number two.

He couldn’t help but reveal a cold smirk.

In his heart, he thought to himself that as soon as the boxes were uncovered, revealing his soup,

he would see how Lin Fan would continue to pretend.

"Mr. Xu, it seems like the second entry is the popular choice. As the God among cooking gods, why don’t you unveil the result yourself?"

Lin Fan said with a smile, pointing to the two boxes.

Xu Dakang didn’t say much, instead he directly walked forward.

But the moment he reached out to remove the box lid, he froze.

Because what was placed inside the box was none other than Li Qiqi’s bowl of green vegetable and tofu soup.
