Chapter 194: Startle a Group of Big Men

It was really annoying to meet the thieves on the first day of the trip, but the most difficult thing was how to pay for the meal. They couldn’t leave without paying for it.

Although Ling Tianyi said that he could deal with it, in fact, he really had no idea. “Fortunately, I am wearing a famous watch, which is worth ten million yuan, we can mortgage it to the boss here.”

“I can wash the dishes for them!” Xia Xiaoluo said. She thought it was really suitable to take the famous watch as the mortgage for the meal of a hundred yuan.

“I took you to play here, not to work.” After Ling Tianyi said that, he waved to the waiter. A thin girl with dark skin came immediately. Ling Tianyi knew that such a little girl would not know the value of the watch, so he said directly, “I want to see your boss!”

“Sorry! Sir, our boss is not here. He went to America two days ago. He will spend Christmas with his family, so he is not here!” The waitress said.

“I want to see the man who is in charge of your restaurant.” Ling Tianyi said.

“What can I do for you, sir? We are selling rice noodles, and we can’t solve your problems.” She refused. In other words, she was asking them to pay for the bill and leave as soon as possible.

“I want to mortgage my watch for the meal.” Ling Tianyi knew that girl was not the person who was in charge. She would not know the value of this high-end watch. But Ling Tianyi had no choice now.

“I’m sorry, Sir! Here is a restaurant, not a p.a.w.nshop! So, this…” The waitress was in a dilemma, thinking that they were making for trouble deliberately. If they ordered the cheapest meal, she would just curse them and drive them away. But they ordered the most expensive meal, so now she really didn’t know how to deal with it.

Ling Tianyi disliked the waitress. It was also the first time for him to do so. “I want to see the manager here. We don’t want to have a dine and dash. I think it can be solved, but you can’t decide it.”

“Wait a moment!” The waitress said angrily.

Then she said to the other waiters, “Keep an eye on Table 9. Don’t let them go. They had the 120-yuan set with no money. I’m going to find Brother Li!”

“Well, he looked respectable, but he wanted to have a dine and dash. How dare he?”

“Brother Li will punish them!”

…

Several waiters were discussing about them, and some guests also heard that. They all Looked down upon Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo, which made them uncomfortable, EspeciallyLing Tianyi, who has never encountered such a dilemma.

“What do they mean?” Xia Xiaoluo was sad. They were treated as the criminals.

“Darling, don’t get angry. Let’s keep calm. We can deal with it. They’ve gone to find the person in charge.” Although Ling Tianyi was in a bad mood, he still pretended to be relaxed in order to comfort Xia Xiaoluo. He really didn’t want to spoil the trip again.

An ugly and thin man came later.

“You had a dine and dash?” His tone was very unfriendly.

“That’s not true. Someone stole our bags here and we lost our wallets and mobile phones!” Ling Tianyi said, and then he took out the expensive watch. “This watch is for our meal. It is so expensive that I can buy a street like this with it.”

“You are lying!” The man said scornfully, “I know your tricks. Take a fake watch and come to cheat us. Don’t treat us as fools. If you can get an expensive watch, why don’t you go to the hotel for dinner? Don’t lie to me!”

“You…” Ling Tianyi was really angry, but in order not to spoil the trip, he controlled his temper and asked the man, “Our wallets were stolen in your restaurant. You are also responsible for it!”

“Look at the tips on the wall!” The man pointed at several places in the restaurant, saying, “Warm Tips, Please Keep Your Valuables!”

“Please, here is a public place and the tourist area. There are so many visitors. We are not the policemen whose job is to catch the thieves. Moreover, we don’t know whether you really lost something or pretended to lose something in order to have a dine and dash. We can’t free the consumption if the guest loses something!” The man said.

“How to deal with it? We have no money!” Xia Xiaoluo asked directly. She was thinking about washing dishes here or something.

“It’s easy. One of you stay here and the other one goes to get the money. As long as you pay for the bill, we’ll serve you well!” The man said.

“No!” Ling Tianyi refused immediately. If Xia Xiaoluo stayed here, he was afraid that she would be bullied. If he let her go to find the money, he would worry about her. In short, Xia Xiaoluo must stay with him, otherwise he would be very anxious.

“No? Then we will punish you.” The man said grimly. He must be supported by someone in tourist areas.

“What do you want?” Ling Tianyi was angry.

Seeing that, Xia Xiaoluo came to stand between Ling Tianyi and the man immediately. “How about that? I’ll serve you as a waitress and wash dishes for you to pay for the bill?”

“Xiaoluo, don’t do that!” Ling Tianyi stopped her at once. He took Xia Xiaoluo to travel here. And he could not let her do the work. What was more, he would solve the problem instead of asking her to work here.

“I don’t believe in you!” The man said scornfully.

“Lend me a mobile phone. I’ll ask my friends to send me money here. We won’t leave until we can pay for it.” Xia Xiaoluo said sincerely.

Seeing the man did not speak, Xia Xiaoluo went on to say, “Even you beat us, you won’t get the money. Why don’t you help us?”

The man thought that the meal was expensive, so he handed his mobile phone over.

“Thank you!” Xia Xiaoluo took it quickly and said, “Darling, you call your friends! I can’t find anyone to send the money.”

Ling Tianyi took the mobile phone and put the menu card in front of him, dialing the number. “This is Ling Tianyi. My wallet and mobile phone were stolen in Y City. Send money to the Cross Bridge Rice Noodles Restaurant at KM Road 18 # in Y City immediately. I will give you fifteen minutes to deal with it.”

Ling Tianyi hung up and then he gave the mobile phone to the man.

“I’ve seen a lot of people like you. I will give you fifteen minutes! I’m going to see how you deal with it!” Although the man was frightened by the momentum of Ling Tianyi just now, he continued to show his authority by acting as a lord.

“Darling, it seems that we are really unlucky! We had an accident again.” Xia Xiaoluo said sadly.

“It’s OK this time. As you said we can lose everything, but fortunately you’re still with me. As long as I don’t lose you, I’ll be at ease.” Ling Tianyi held Xia Xiaoluo’s hands. In fact, as long as Xia Xiaoluo was safe, he did not care about anything else.

After about seven or eight minutes, a lot of big shots came there.

They were the mayor of Y City, the Secretary of the Munic.i.p.al Party Committee, the Director and the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau.

“Manager Ling, welcome to Y City!” They took turns to shake hands with Ling Tianyi and introduce themselves.

“Mayor Xu, right? I didn’t come to inspect here. I just wanted to taste the local snacks while traveling. Unexpectedly, my wallet was stolen and I was kept in the restaurant. I just called my a.s.sistant to send the money, but I don’t mean to startle you.” Ling Tianyi said sarcastically.

The staff of the Public Security Bureau heard this and sweated on the forehead.

“Sorry, Manager Ling, we’ll place on file for investigation immediately in order to find the thief as soon as possible!” The mayor glanced at the Director of the Public Security Bureau

“Manager Ling, we’ll arrange it at once!” When the Director of the Public Security Bureau finished, he took the Deputy Director and the staff to check the situation.

The man and the waiters did not realize that Ling Tianyi has such a strong background. Before they recovered, the police came to ask them about the situation.

“I don’t care about it. Now that you are here, I want to ask you to help me pay for the bill. I’ll pay you back later!” Ling Tianyi said.

“No problem! It is our honor that Mr. Ling can come to Y City!” The mayor said. The staff went to pay for the bill at this time, but no one dared to accept it.

The man apologized quickly, “Manager Ling, I’m sorry, we’re wrong. We can’t help to find your things. So these two bowls of rice noodles are our treats for you. I hope you can forgive us for the poor service just now. Please forgive us.”

The man was very smart. He didn’t know who Ling Tianyi was. But so many big shots came for him, he must apologize to Ling Tianyi immediately. Otherwise if Ling Tianyi intended to revenge on him, he could not take the consequence.
