Chapter 601: Chapter 603: The Store Bullies Customers?

”What’s going on?”

Seeing Zhang Runhao’s anger, Qin Tian and Murong Fei both approached and asked with furrowed brows.

”Look at this, Master, it’s freaking extortion! We only had eleven dishes, and although they were expensive, it shouldn’t have cost over 150,000, right? I’m utterly fed up with this—it’s like daylight robbery over my head!”

Zhang Runhao, his face red with fury, handed the bill to Qin Tian. He stood with his hands on his hips, experiencing this type of rip-off for the first time in his life, which made him somewhat excited.

The men from their unit were all full of vim and vigor, ready to spring into action and not the types to suffer indignity lightly.

Moreover, this was happening in Beijing, and in a place Zhang Runhao knew all too well. He had invited his master and mistress to a meal, and to think they’d be swindled!

Qin Tian and Murong Fei were astounded at the prices listed on the bill: over 30,000 for a dish of shrimp, more than 7,000 for a serving of mushroom and sliced pork soup, and over 500 for a bowl of white rice!

After looking it over, Qin Tian couldn’t help but exclaim, ”Damn, this restaurant is utterly crooked from head to toe, from hair to ****!”

”Excuse me, is there an issue with this bill? Could you please show me your price list for the dishes?”

Having seen the bill, both Qin Tian and Zhang Runhao were getting worked up, but Murong Fei appeared rather calm as she took the bill and addressed a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man was dressed like a waiter, seemingly a floor supervisor of the restaurant.

”We happen to be out of price lists.”

The middle-aged man glanced at Murong Fei and responded coolly.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Runhao was instantly enraged. ”What did you just say? I’ve got a bad temper, you motherf**ker, say that again?!”

”We’ve run out of price lists, what about it?”

The middle-aged supervisor seemed unafraid of the furious Zhang Runhao and spoke with satisfaction, ”Sir, who’s paying the bill? Once you’ve settled, you can leave the restaurant. No need for further discussion; our dishes are just that expensive.”

Qin Tian stepped forward and said to the middle-aged man, ”You openly fleece your customers and you’re not afraid I’ll file a complaint?”

”Fleecing? Where did we do that?”

”As for these shrimp, if I remember correctly, when I ordered, they were 1,300 for a large portion, right?”

Qin Tian pointed to the price of the shrimp on the bill—he had ordered the dish and remembered clearly. It was a little over a thousand per portion, but damn, on this bill, it suddenly became more than 20,000!

”Are you going blind, old man? When have our restaurant’s shrimp ever been so cheap? A thousand for a portion? Heh, sir, you are mistaken, it’s over a thousand per shrimp,” the middle-aged man replied with a faint smile to Qin Tian.

”This is obviously a rip-off! Please call your general manager out,” Murong Fei also grew a bit angry. She had seen people ripped off before but never like this.

”The general manager? I’m sorry, our general manager is on a business trip. Please, sirs and madame, you came here for a meal, surely you can afford a bill of tens of thousands. You’ve eaten the food, so there’s no point in saying anything now. Hurry up and settle the bill,” the middle-aged man said.

”I’ll kill you!”

Zhang Runhao couldn’t contain his rage, especially upon seeing the attitude of the middle-aged man who looked as if he couldn’t care less about being scalded by boiling water—damn it, acting so arrogant while fleecing customers, he was asking for it!

Zhang Runhao yelled and charged at the middle-aged man, landing a punch to his face!

”Ow, I’m being hit! I’m being hit!”

The middle-aged man seemed to have anticipated Zhang Runhao’s punch; just as the fist connected, he immediately fell to the ground, shouting.

As if it had been prearranged, the moment the middle-aged man hit the floor, suddenly, a dozen or so security guards rushed out from beside the hall, immediately surrounding Qin Tian and his companions.

”Looking for trouble, huh? Don’t you realize where you are!”

”You three, just now you could leave after paying. Now, even if you paid, you can’t think about leaving!”

”Compensate us, or we will call the police and have you arrested!”

The surrounding security guards threatened Zhang Runhao and his two companions with an aggressive attitude.

”Wow, what’s going on here?”

Just as the security guards surrounded Qin Tian and his two companions, Du Mingwei and his two buddies happened to appear very ”coincidentally.”

As soon as Qin Tian heard that voice and saw Du Mingwei with his two companions, he instantly felt like he had fallen into a trap.

Murong Fei, who shared the same feeling, exchanged glances with Qin Tian. Seeing Du Mingwei walking over, she had a bad premonition.

”And who might you be?” Zhang Runhao, who didn’t recognize Du Mingwei, frowned angrily when he saw Du Mingwei swaggering over like a eunuch.

”Are you blind? This is the son of our hotel board chairman!” one of the security guards bellowed threateningly at Zhang Runhao.

”Hehe, the chairman’s son, huh?” Zhang Runhao, staring at Du Mingwei, said, ”You’re just in time. I ordered eleven dishes, and you’re charging me 150,000? Is this how you rip off your customers? You better give me an explanation today!”

”No explanation.”

Facing an agitated Zhang Runhao, Du Mingwei didn’t even bother with him but instead fixed his gaze on Qin Tian and said, ”Today, you guys ate without paying at my restaurant and even assaulted someone. Don’t you think you owe me an explanation? Qin Tian, if you don’t explain yourself, I’ll have you thrown in jail. Don’t believe me?”

”I really don’t,” Qin Tian laughed, ”I didn’t lay a hand on anyone just now, so how are you going to arrest me?”

At those words, Du Mingwei was taken aback, suddenly remembering that it was indeed Zhang Runhao who had acted out.

”You’re in it together. If he hits someone, it’s the same as if you did. Do you think the police will listen to you or to me once they arrive?” Du Mingwei said, with a defiant look on his face, and commanded, ”What are you waiting for? Take them to the public security office!”

At his command, several security guards immediately moved to arrest them.

Qin Tian and Zhang Runhao protected Murong Fei, kicking out at the approaching security guards and knocking them to the ground one by one as they hesitated to move forward rashly.

Seeing this, Du Mingwei, who seemed to have anticipated such a response, smiled and said, ”Qin Tian, now you’ve started hitting people, right? Well, it’s all recorded on my surveillance cameras. There’s no way you can escape!”

”You’ve got guts. Do you believe I’ll call for backup?”

Seeing Du Mingwei’s arrogant demeanor, Zhang Runhao couldn’t contain his anger and yelled back at him.

”Call them. I don’t care who you call. No number of people will make a difference,” Du Mingwei said with supreme arrogance.

Zhang Runhao bellowed, ”I am a soldier! I’m a battalion commander! Who dares to touch me!”

”Hehe, you’re a soldier? A battalion commander?” Du Mingwei laughed mockingly at the furious Zhang Runhao and said, ”If you’re a battalion commander, then I’m a commander-in-chief. Hehe, I outrank you, so what are you going to do about it?”

”Tsk...”

Zhang Runhao, unable to suppress his rage, turned around to make a phone call.

Du Mingwei and his rich playboy friends watched Zhang Runhao dialing, completely unconcerned. What did these young masters have to fear from anyone?

Du Mingwei gave a knowing look to a waiter nearby, who then dashed off. In less than a minute, several policemen waiting outside the hotel rushed in, heading straight for Qin Tian and his two companions!
