Chapter 97: Chapter 97: To Seek Revenge, One Must Have the Capital

In the private room, Lin Fan had already taken Yang Linglong by her waist and exited.

Only Liu Mo was left, his face ashen.

This time, he had tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing his rice instead.

"Mr. Liu, have you thought it through? Either call your father or... go to the station with your distant uncle for a sit?"

With Lin Fan’s directive, Qi Sijiang didn’t hold back at all.

Liu Ruixi had just been taken away, and he was yet to be far gone.

"Qi Sijiang, don’t go too far!"

Liu Mo gritted his teeth.

He had never been so humiliated in all these years.

"Did you ever think like this when you bullied others? Let me tell you, this matter is far from over for me. I don’t care if I have to oppose the entire Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, Tianxiang Pavilion isn’t scared."

Qi Sijiang snorted coldly and picked up the phone, "It seems Mr. Liu needs to wear silver bracelets to give up today!"

"Don’t... it’s just money, I’ll give it!"

Seeing Qi Sijiang getting serious, Liu Mo hastily intervened.

He then quickly turned his head to look at the others who were still dumbfoundedly sitting there.

"What the hell are you all sitting around for? Hurry up and help me raise money. Everyone chip in; it’s just a million for the meal, right? I have two hundred thousand, you guys come up with eight hundred thousand!"

"Eight hundred thousand, Mr. Liu, do you think my family is like yours? I only have eight thousand in my card..."

"My bank card is still in debt, I won’t have money until next month!"

"All my money is tied up outside, I only have a few hundred dollars in my pocket."

The so-called friends one by one pulled long faces and opened their hands helplessly.

"Don’t fucking play this game with me. When I was in my glory days, you all followed my ass around, and you spent more than this. Now that I’m in trouble, you play this game with me?"

Liu Mo roared angrily, slamming the table.

"Mr. Liu, I did take advantage of your wealth before, but didn’t we also run errands for you? We can’t be grandfathers without paying, I’ve got things to do and I need to go!"

"Mr. Liu, my father is having a difficult labor, I need to go help with the delivery, I’m leaving!"

"His father is my aunt, I need to check on her too!"

One by one, the people got up and left, and in the blink of an eye, not one was left.

It was clear to see that Liu Mo, once a mighty tree, was now thoroughly finished.

"Go... all of you fucking go... I must have been blind..."

Liu Mo yelled in desperation and frustration.

But after shouting for a long time, he eventually slumped into a chair dejectedly.

"Mr. Liu, since there’s no money, you might as well come with us."

Qi Sijiang said with a cold face.

At this moment, the official who had returned was already at the door.

"Wait... I’ll call my father!"

Watching the shiny silver bracelets, Liu Mo could only bite his teeth and pick up the phone.

Before long, Liu Ruiyun, having received the call, arrived at Tianxiang Pavilion in a great hurry.

"You prodigal son, are you crazy? How can you rack up so much money on just a meal!"

Liu Ruiyun bit his teeth.

Though the Liu family had a fortune of tens of millions, they were not the kind to spend a million on a single meal.

And given that he was self-made and frugal on ordinary days.

Looking at the mess of cups and dishes before him, his heart bled.

"It’s... it was a gamble!"

Liu Mo said, with his head lowered.

"What’s ’Stir-Fried Book’? Mr. Qi, aren’t you going too far? Could it be Dragon Meat from the heavens?"

Liu Ruiyun frowned and looked at Qi Sijiang standing to the side.

He had been to Tianxiang Pavilion many times but had never heard of any famous dish by that name.

"Mr. Liu, please don’t misunderstand. Tianxiang Pavilion isn’t Taotie Restaurant. How could we possibly have such an expensive dish? What your son referred to as ’Stir-Fried Book’ is actually a cookbook. Look, it only took up half the table. The other half, I’ve already had the kitchen pack up so you could enjoy at home. But the cost of the dishes isn’t much; it’s mainly the alcohol. You drank a total of twenty bottles, each costing over seventy thousand, so this one million is merely half the cost," Qi Sijiang explained with a smile.

"Stir-Fried Book... You wastrel. How many of you drank those twenty bottles?"

Looking at the bottles scattered all around, Liu Ruiyun almost fainted.

"Actually... it was one person... who drank them!"

Liu Mo finally bowed his head and recounted the whole incident.

When he learned that his son had been set up, Liu Ruiyun’s face turned ashen with anger.

After pondering for a moment, he finally turned his head to look at Qi Sijiang.

The old schemer had already detected the issue at hand.

"Mr. Qi, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce and Tianxiang Pavilion have had no feuds in the past or recent times. How could your esteemed cardholder mock my son like this, and not only do you not protect him, but you also abet the bully. What’s the reason for this?"

"Mr. Liu, you must be misunderstanding. I’m just running a business, and everyone who comes here is a customer. It was Mr. Liu who orchestrated the setup, and I was forced to go along. Besides, there’s another matter. According to what Liu Ruixi has said, he embezzled funds to go along with high-interest loans initiated by Mr. Liu. If I don’t bring it up, not to mention Mr. Liu facing the potential of incarceration, I’m afraid the Chamber of Commerce would also be implicated, right?" Qi Sijiang said with a faint smile.

That single statement immediately changed the expression on Liu Ruiyun’s face.

Filled with resentment and giving Liu Mo a glare, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and pull out his gold card.

"I’ll cover both the meal and the embezzled funds. I hope nobody will bring this up ever again, all right?"

Paying out more than three million, Liu Ruiyun’s heart ached with the loss.

But if the situation blew up at this point, the consequences would be unthinkable.

"No problem at all," Qi Sijiang agreed with a smile, immediately asking someone to process the payment.

Soon enough, this little squall was thoroughly quelled.

"Dad... I... I can’t accept this," mumbled Liu Mo as he hung his head, walking out of Tianxiang Pavilion.

"What can you do if you can’t? Do you want to make today’s embarrassment even bigger?"

Having lost three million in an instant, Liu Ruiyun’s face was grim.

"But... it’s all that bastard’s fault... and... it was you who told me to pursue Yang Linglong," argued Liu Mo with a miserable face.

It was his father and Yang Linglong’s dad who had arranged the whole affair between them.

"I told you to pursue her, not to be the fool!" Liu Ruiyun glared fiercely at Liu Mo.

However, he couldn’t swallow the insult he had received that day.

Once back in the car, father and son sat in silence.

After a while, Liu Ruiyun finally spoke.

"Tomorrow, you tidy yourself up and come with me to the Yang Family. Although this kid holds a supreme card, given his age, it certainly isn’t from a legitimate source. I reckon he must have some shady status. Old Master Yang was a soldier and looks down on such people the most. Just with this point, the Yang Family would definitely reject him. As long as we can hold onto that, even if Yang Linglong refuses, it won’t matter!"

"But what if that kid really does have a status?"

Liu Mo lifted his head, looking puzzled at his father.

"Status is still a matter of seniority. With his age, he can’t have power in the underworld. Phoenix can hardly find a feng to match; a man’s only rival is his malice. Tomorrow, I will go to Laozi’s four lieutenants and have them deal with this kid, clearing the path for you. Yang Linglong must become my daughter-in-law; that’s not about to change!" Liu Ruiyun said, his face stern.

The Laozi he referred to was Mr. Wang from the southern city.

With a thousand men under him, he was truly a significant figure in Jiangnan.
