Lin Ye, a discharged reconnaissance soldier, gave up his secure job and returned to Xuzhou to open a barbecue restaurant.
Before his grandfather died, he said something Lin Ye could never make sense of: "That shop must not open."
But Lin Ye opened it anyway.
His secret, one no one knows, is that he can see through lies, read emotions from the tiniest facial expressions, and sense danger before it arrives.
Even fewer people know that images from another lifetime sometimes flash through his mind: an Audi late at night, several shadowy figures, and everything turning upside down before his eyes, over and over…
On opening day, a local thug showed up to demand protection money.
"It’s fine. I’m not angry," he said.
The next day, the police took the thug away.
When the landlord forced Old Li from the neighboring shop, Lin Ye secretly stepped in and uncovered a powerful figure behind it all.
His ex-girlfriend brought her new beau in to eat and skip the bill. In front of the entire restaurant, Lin Ye exposed the guy’s true colors, and the new beau slapped him in front of everyone.
The domineering CEO of Jinding Group walked into his little shop and complained that the cooking fumes were too strong.
Three months later, she asked him by Yunlong Lake, "What kind of person are you, really?"
Lin Ye smiled but didn’t answer.
He looked toward the brightly lit night market. His battlefield was only just beginning.
"The rhythm is good and there are no routines", the focus is on the details of Xuzhou's fireworks, "I feel hungry while reading it".
Fascinating, the most impressive thing is the shredded chicken noodles!
