Chapter 320: Chapter 0320: Ill-Gotten Gains

"Wow, Tang Ming, when did you get such a card?"

Li Xiaoli looked at Tang Ming with a face full of surprise.

"How much is this guy keeping from me? I had no idea at all."

Liu Mengting also looked at Tang Ming with a puzzled expression, learning for the first time that Tang Ming actually had such treatment.

"Can I book the whole venue now?" Tang Ming asked the manager with a playful look.

"Of course, of course, someone pack up everything for this VIP right away!"

The manager did not hesitate and immediately called for staff to prepare for packing.

"Hold on!" After snapping out of her shock, Wang Zhiling said with disgust:

"Manager, you mustn’t be fooled by him. How could such a lowly person get a Supreme card? Are you sure this card is real? Even if it is, how can you be sure he didn’t steal it?"

"This..." The manager’s face changed slightly. If the card were indeed stolen, the responsibility would be great if he let Tang Ming take everything away.

"What ’this’? Even I only have a gold card. Why should he get a Supreme card?"

Wang Zhiling said with conviction, "Given his young age, he definitely could not enjoy such treatment. It must be a card he stole from someone. I suggest calling the police immediately."

"This was given to me by Li Xiangui. If you don’t believe it, you can call Li Xiangui to ask."

Tang Ming snorted coldly. He had grown extremely tired of this woman Wang Zhiling, and today he intended to teach her a lesson and thoroughly crush her.

"Let’s see!" The manager quickly walked to the counter and said without looking back:

"Just let me swipe it, and I’ll see the customer’s information. There will be no falsehood."

The manager went to the front desk and, after swiping the card, his face turned cold again because the information displayed belonged to Li Xiangui, the chairman of Tianhong Group, not the cardholder’s.

In other words, the owner of this card was Li Xiangui, which meant that Tang Ming using this card to make purchases might have obtained it through improper channels.

"Is there a problem?" Seeing the manager’s unfriendly expression, Tang Ming frowned and asked.

"Haha, of course there’s a problem. From this situation, anyone can tell it’s either stolen or fake."

Wang Zhiling laughed gleefully at the disaster.

"The Supreme card is real, but where exactly did you get this card, sir, and why does it not show your name on it?" The manager calmed his emotions and said with a serious face:

"Normally, the Supreme card would display the cardholder’s name and information, but this card is showing the chairman’s information."

"It was personally given to me by Li Xiangui. How would I know what’s written on it?"

Tang Ming curled his lip, impatiently retorting, "If you don’t believe me, you can call Li Xiangui."

"Chairman Li is a big shot of Tianhong Group, what gives you the right to receive a card from him?" Wang Zhiling sneered unkindly.

"Sorry, but with my position, I don’t have the means to contact the chairman directly," the manager took a deep breath and said with difficulty:

"Please come to the security room with me before we clear up the origin of this card."

"If you can’t get in touch, I can."

Tang Ming’s expression grew colder as he pulled out his mobile phone and Li Xiangui’s business card and dialed the number on it, which contained the contact details for both Li Xiangui and Li Libai.

"Not good!" Upon seeing the business card in Tang Ming’s hand, the manager realized that something was amiss. If this person possessed the chairman’s business card, then he must be acquainted with the chairman, and could very well be the true owner of the Supreme Card!

"Hello, may I ask whom you are looking for?"

Li Xiangui, who received a call on his private phone, asked with confusion. His private number was known by very few people, and those who knew it usually had a contact name saved. However, today’s call was from an unfamiliar number.

"This is Tang Ming. Are you Li Xiangui?" Tang Ming asked indifferently.

"Mr. Tang! It’s me, it’s me. I didn’t realize this was your number, please don’t blame me."

Li Xiangui immediately became nervous.

"I am currently inside a high-end shop in Tianhong Mall. Your staff do not recognize the Supreme Card you gave me and even wanted to send me to the security room for verification. What do you think about this?"

Tang Ming asked faintly.

"How could such a thing happen? Hand the phone to the person in charge there!" Li Xiangui suddenly became anxious. He already felt Tang Ming’s displeasure and was shocked to find out that his own staff were being so blind.

"They’re asking for you!" Tang Ming handed the phone to the manager.

The manager took the phone with a puzzled look and was about to speak when he heard an angry roar coming from the other end:

"I’m Li Xiangui, I don’t care who you are, but if you dare to make Mr. Tang angry, just pack your things and get out. I’m on my way there now, make sure you serve him well."

"Ah!" The manager held the phone with a bewildered look as the call had already been disconnected from the other end.

"Who exactly is this young man, for the chairman to treat the situation with such urgency? I’m in for bad luck now!"

The pale-faced manager’s forehead was beaded with cold sweat.

"Well, has it been confirmed?"

Tang Ming squinted his eyes, watching the manager with a playful look.

"Sorry, sorry, I was blind not to recognize you, please don’t take offense, esteemed guest."

The manager respectfully returned the phone and the Supreme Card to Tang Ming, then roared out, "What are you staring at? Immediately pack up all the items for the guest!"

"What on earth is going on?" Wang Zhiling asked with astonishment and confusion.

The manager looked at Wang Zhiling fiercely, his teeth clenched as he said, "Respected Gold Card member, please settle the payment for the items you just selected. All remaining items here belong to this guest and there is no other merchandise left for sale, please leave immediately."

At that moment, the manager despised Wang Zhiling thoroughly. If it hadn’t been for her causing trouble repeatedly, he wouldn’t have taken such a serious stance against Tang Ming, and now that Tang Ming’s status as the true VIP was confirmed, Wang Zhiling was the scapegoat to compensate for his previous mistake.

"Me, pay? I..." Wang Zhiling’s complexion changed slightly as she hadn’t actually planned to buy the clothes suitable for young girls that she’d been making a fuss about.

"What’s the matter, huh? You have the money, don’t you, or can’t you afford it?"

Li Xiaoli looked at Wang Zhiling with a provocative gaze.

"Who says I can’t pay?" Wang Zhiling gritted her teeth and took out her credit card:

"Swipe it!"

Xiao Zhao, with a febrile complexion, processed Wang Zhiling’s payment. Not daring to utter another word, he knew that although Wang Zhiling had spent hundreds of thousands, it was nothing compared to Tang Ming’s private shopping. Considering his prior participation in the mistreatment of Tang Ming and others on behalf of Wang Zhiling, a sense of panic set in.

This VIP was someone even his third uncle tried to curry favor with—if Tang Ming held a grudge, Xiao Zhao was in trouble!
