A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 151 Raising Money

"Those people were so hungry, their mouths were watering all over the place."

"is not that right?"

"Mengting, isn't it unfair of us to extort them like this? What if they can't afford to pay?"

"I don't care about that. Who told them to show off like that? The chairman of the Tang Group, huh? They're practically groveling right in front of you."

"Exactly, they say they have plenty of money, so why would they care about a little bit of money for a late-night snack?"

"But I think we've gone a bit too far. Why don't we just pay for it ourselves?"

Huang Mengting quickly pressed her hand to Tang Qianqian's forehead and asked in surprise, "Qian, are you not sick?"

Tang Qianqian brushed Huang Mengting's hand away, rolled her eyes, and said, "Alright, let's go then!"

Inside the private room, Tang Baoyu and the others devoured all the dishes and were all full.

"Huh? Weren't they supposed to be in the restroom? Why have they been gone for so long?" a boy asked, puzzled.

After he finished speaking, Tang Baoyu suddenly realized what was going on and immediately shouted angrily, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and go out and see! Damn it..."

He slammed his fist on the table and roared, "You think you can just leave after you've finished eating? Humph..."

"Big...Big Brother, there's no one outside. It seems like they've left."

Upon hearing this, Tang Baoyu's eyes twitched. He finally realized that he and his group had been tricked. He angrily said, "Nonsense, of course I know they've left. You guys, quickly take out all the money you have and pay the bill."

Without wasting any words, the boys quickly rummaged around, pulling out even five-cent and one-yuan coins. After counting them together, one of the boys said, "Big brother, that's a total of one thousand and fifty-two yuan and sixty cents. Is that enough?"

Tang Baoyu frowned and said, "It should be about right!"

"Then let me ask."

The young man called the waiter in and said, "Waiter, the bill, please!"

The waiter handed the young man a pre-printed bill and said, "Hello, sir, your total bill is 63,140 yuan."

"what?"

Everyone gasped in surprise: "So expensive? Miss, are you sure you're not mistaken!"

"No, sir. Please look at the list. Every dish is clearly priced. There's no mistake."

Tang Baoyu snatched the list and read it from beginning to end. When his eyes fell on the last string of numbers, his eyebrows shot up. He had already cursed Huang Mengting and her ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart. He quickly put on a forced smile and said, "Um, waiter, could you please go out for a moment? We'll pay the bill later. We just finished eating and would like to sit down and rest for a bit."

The others understood and said in unison, "Yes, yes, let's rest for a bit and pay the bill later."

The waiter took the bill, glanced at the pile of money on the table, frowned slightly, and then smiled and said, "Okay."

The waitress wasn't stupid; she quickly left and then reported the incident to her boss, a short, stout man in his fifties. Upon hearing that someone was trying to dine and dash, the boss flew into a rage, shouting, "Damn it, how dare they try to dine and dash here? This is outrageous!"

He quickly made a phone call, and in less than five minutes, a group of thugs appeared in front of the boss.

One of the thugs asked, "Brother Feng, where are they?"

The boss said, "They are still in room number 8 upstairs."

"Walk."

The thug waved to the dozen or so people behind him and stormed upstairs, but the boss stopped him, saying, "Wait, don't rush, wait a bit."

The boss glanced at the bill in his hand and sneered.

Inside the private room, Tang Baoyu and his companions sat there anxiously. One of the young men said urgently, "Brother, what should we do? We're short so much money, this amount isn't even enough for a small change!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Baoyu angrily retorted, "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? All you ever think about is eating! Now look what's happened! They've eaten and drunk their fill, then they've packed their bags and left, leaving us to pay this enormous bill. Damn it, do you guys even have a brain? I warned you so many times at the beginning, but none of you listened. If you had all slipped away one by one back then, would we be in this mess now?"

"Brother, you can't blame us for this! You were the one who said you were the big boss from the beginning, and..."

"Boom!"

Tang Baoyu immediately gave him a sharp rap on the head and said angrily, "You still dare to talk back?"

The boy received a sharp rap on the head and could only shrink back, pressing his hand to his head as he obediently walked to the side, not daring to utter another word.

Tang Baoyu was furious and roared, "What are you all standing there for? If you don't want to die, hurry up and find a way to raise the money. The owner of this food stall is not someone to be trifled with. If he finds out that we ordered so much food and can't afford to pay for it, he'll beat us to death."

"Brother, you know us. We've never deposited any money into our cards before. Where are we supposed to find a solution now?"

Tang Baoyu, with his nostrils flaring, suppressed his anger and said, "Fine! Then everyone can just wait to be beaten to death by them!"

One of the boys said, "Big brother, I'll go out and check the situation. Let's find a chance to slip away!"

"Then go quickly."

The boy rushed out, and a moment later he burst back in, shouting, "Big brother, something bad has happened! There are so many people guarding downstairs, they seem to be..."

Upon hearing this, everyone panicked. A young man frowned and quickly said, "Big brother, now that things have come to this, there's no way we can escape. Everyone, stop hiding and hand over all your money to save your lives! Big brother, didn't you lie to your parents a couple of days ago and say you were doing business, and they sent you 30,000 yuan? Adding the 1,000+ here, I still have 5,000 in my card, so it's a total of over 36,000."

"Damn, who said my parents sent me 30,000 yuan?"

"Brother, don't you know our own limitations? Saving our lives is the most important thing, this is money to save our lives! Xiao Liu, don't hide it anymore, I know you have 5,200 in your card, Xiao Li, you have a few hundred in your card too, let's all take out our money and pool it together!"

"Okay, okay! Everyone, please state your amounts and transfer the money to my card so we can all make up the difference."

Given the current situation, no one dared to have any ulterior motives. They all reported the meager savings in their cards. After some calculation, although they didn't reach the number on the list, they were close, only a few dozen yuan short.

"Brother, with this cash, it's a total of 63,060 yuan and 6 mao."
