Wu Liang panicked when he saw so many people staring at him.

He forced a smile and said,

”Everyone, please don’t listen to his nonsense. I, Wu Liang, am an upstanding man. With my family’s resources, why would I ever do something like this?”

As soon as he said this, many people nodded in agreement.

”That’s right. Given Senior Wu’s family background, why would he scam us for such a small amount of money!”

Another student couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

Many people shook their heads and chuckled, feeling they had been overthinking it.

Some even shot hostile glances at Qin Tuo, thinking he was just trying to stir up trouble.

Wu Liang finally breathed a huge sigh of relief and quickly pressed his advantage, explaining,

”Rest assured, everyone. I promise that anyone who invests with me will earn huge dividends and make a fortune. If you don’t make money, you can come looking for me. I won’t shirk my responsibility!”

His words were firm and forceful. The students’ eyes all lit up, and they cheered loudly.

”Yes! Senior Wu, I believe you! We’ll definitely make a fortune with you!”

”See? Senior Wu is a man of his word. That guy didn’t invest, so he’s just bitter he’s not making any money and is trying to turn things upside down. I almost fell for his crap.”

Qin Tuo watched with a faint, unreadable smile, saying nothing.

If these people were foolish enough to keep believing Wu Liang’s lies, there was no point in him trying to convince them otherwise.

Seeing the situation stabilize completely, Wu Liang finally relaxed.

He had successfully preserved his image. Now, all he wanted was to dine and dash, then take the money and run.

Seizing an opportunity, Wu Liang started walking directly toward the hotel entrance.

The waitress frowned and quickly stepped in his way.

”Sir, have you forgotten to pay the bill?”

Wu Liang coughed twice, feigning composure.

”Ah, yes. I know the young mistress of the Chen Family. We’re on pretty good terms. Just put it on my tab for today. I’ll come back to settle it next time I have a moment.”

Hearing this, the students’ eyes once again filled with adoration.

’See that? Someone who knows the young mistress of the Chen Family can’t be just anyone, can he?’

Qin Tuo watched Wu Liang, a mocking glint in his eyes.

He could clearly see that Wu Liang was backed into a corner and was just trying to dine and dash.

Besides, Chen Man Ni had no connection to Wu Liang whatsoever. The guy was just trying to bluff his way out.

This put the waitress in a difficult position.

She was worried that Wu Liang might be telling the truth, in which case she would offend Chen Man Ni...

Wu Liang’s face suddenly hardened as he said with displeasure,

”What? With my friendship with Miss Chen, are you telling me I can’t even run a tab?”

The waitress’s expression changed, and she quickly forced a placating smile.

Just as she was about to agree, Chen Man Ni happened to walk into the hotel.

The moment Chen Man Ni appeared, she captured the attention of every man in the room!

”Wow, she really is one of the three Golden Flowers of Ming City! That charisma, that face, that figure... she’s absolutely perfect!”

However, Chen Man Ni didn’t spare a glance for anyone else, walking straight toward Qin Tuo.

”Qin Tuo, there you are!”

Chen Man Ni greeted him proactively with a sweet smile.

This scene left everyone stunned!

No one could understand why the lofty young mistress of the Chen Family seemed so close to this poor kid.

When Wu Liang saw Chen Man Ni arrive, the color drained from his face instantly.

At that moment, he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

As Chen Man Ni came to Qin Tuo’s side, she immediately noticed Han Zilin’s presence.

The two young women exchanged a look, a hint of confusion in their eyes.

Then, Chen Man Ni noticed something was going on.

”What’s happening?”

Chen Man Ni asked with a frown.

The waitress then explained that Wu Liang wanted to put his bill on a tab.

”Young Mistress, I figured since he’s a friend of yours, I could let him put it on a tab for now...”

The waitress wore a fawning smile, terrified of offending Chen Man Ni.

She completely failed to notice Wu Liang standing nearby, his gaze shifty and unable to meet Chen Man Ni’s eyes.

Chen Man Ni suddenly sneered, cutting the waitress off.

”Ha, how absurd! I don’t know this Wu Liang at all. Make him pay the bill right now, or no one here is leaving today!”

The waitress was completely stunned. She couldn’t believe Wu Liang had lied to her.

Everyone in the banquet hall panicked. They finally realized that Wu Liang had been lying!

The ones who had just been kissing up to him looked incredibly awkward.

And when they heard Chen Man Ni say they would be implicated, everyone grew frantic.

”Senior Wu, hurry up and pay! Otherwise, none of us will be able to leave!”

”That’s right, Senior Wu! It’s not like you’re short on cash. Please, just pay the bill. We’ll all remember you for this!”

Terrified of being detained by the hotel, the students relentlessly urged Wu Liang to hurry up and pay.

Wu Liang felt like crying. With a trembling hand, he reached into his pocket for his bank card.

In that moment, the bank card felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Steeling himself, Wu Liang handed over the bank card.

However, the waitress quickly returned, her expression unnatural.

”Sir, this card won’t go through. It’s been frozen!”

WHOOSH!

This time, Wu Liang was utterly mortified.

The students could hardly believe their ears.

”No way... Senior Wu’s family is so wealthy. How could his bank card be frozen?”

As Wu Liang’s cousin, Zhang Xiaoqian was also completely baffled, clearly unaware of the Wu Family’s recent misfortune.

Qin Tuo finally let out a snort. ’So, is Wu Liang finally going to show his true colors?’

Chen Man Ni sneered.

”The Wu Family has gone bankrupt. Of course he has no money to pay the bill!”

Hearing Chen Man Ni confirm it, everyone’s eyes went wide.

They finally knew the truth. They had been scammed!

Zhang Xiaoqian’s jaw dropped, unable to believe it.

She demanded frantically,

”Cousin, what’s going on? Don’t you still have the Rolls-Royce? Hurry up and use the car to cover the bill!”

Wu Liang knew he could no longer keep up the act. He hung his head and said dejectedly,

”Cousin, my car was taken long ago to pay off debts...”

At this, Zhang Xiaoqian turned deathly pale, rendered speechless.

Suddenly, her eyes widened as she remembered: she had taken all of her parents’ retirement savings and invested it with him.

She never imagined that her glamorous, successful cousin was actually a fraud!

Now, she had been completely wiped out.

At this thought, Zhang Xiaoqian’s eyes rolled back into her head, and she fainted...
