The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 179 - 179 179 96000

179: Chapter 179 96000 179: Chapter 179 96000 Lin Fei had skipped out on his own appointment, so it seemed only natural he should also pick up the tab.

But it was at this very moment that the waiter, smiling sweetly, delivered a line that made Lin Fei feel as if he’d been struck by lightning.

“Good evening, sir.

The manager has instructed us to give a 12 percent discount, so your total comes to ninety-six thousand.”

The moment Lin Fei heard this, he couldn’t help but dig at his ear, “Could you say that again?

I didn’t catch that.”

“Sir, after the discount, it’s ninety-six thousand.”

The waiter repeated.

Lin Fei glanced at Lin Han and Gu Xinran.

Both girls automatically bowed their heads, the anger from before gone, replaced by a sense of guilt that emerged all at once.

Lin Fei took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to curse out loud.

He cleared his throat, and said seriously to the waiter, “I’m just here to eat.

It looks like the chefs are off now, so, well, I’m not really that familiar with these two!”

The waiter was slightly taken aback.

The two girls, Lin Han and Gu Xinran, suddenly blushed.

Not out of shyness but anger.

Any feelings of guilt they had entertained a moment ago vanished in the blink of an eye.

“Lin Fei, you bastard!”

Lin Han was furious.

But she saw Lin Fei, despite what he had said, still pulled out a card, “The password is six eights!”

The waiter took the bank card with both hands, smiling, “Alright, sir, please wait a moment.”

Lin Fei really felt an urge to smack these two girls dead.

Did they think he was some kind of rich landowner to spend so much!

No wonder they’d eaten for so long and still insisted on waiting for him to arrive, even resorting to dramatic threats.

Oh, how his heart ached.

From now on, he’d definitely not agree to treat these two women to a meal again.

Seeing Lin Fei settling the bill, the two girls picked up their bags, still seemingly uneasy.

One on each side, they took Lin Fei’s arms.

Lin Han smiled and said, “Brother Lin, you didn’t even try it.

The food here is really good.”

Gu Xinran was actually the most embarrassed, as she didn’t know about Lin Fei’s relationship with Su Yuxue.

At most, she knew that Lin Fei seemed to be pursuing their company’s CEO.

Ninety-six thousand, to ordinary people, was a tremendous amount.

Recently she had been in a dilemma, fearing they’d be unable to pay the bill.

Now, she felt they had been very unfair to Lin Fei.

Gu Xinran held Lin Fei’s arm, looking genuinely embarrassed and coy.

Of course, she’d probably also forgotten how imperious she’d been when ordering the meal.

Lin Fei looked at the two beauties on either side of him and couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Ninety-six thousand for two ornaments hanging off his arms…

Although the ornaments were pretty, damn it, they were still just ornaments.

Lin Fei felt his phone vibrate a few times, undoubtedly the notification of funds being withdrawn.

Deep inside he immediately regretted charging and turning on his phone.

Out of sight, out of mind, wouldn’t it have been better!

Having taken his card, Lin Fei, flanked by the two beauties, one on each side, walked out.

He suddenly saw many envious, jealous, and hateful gazes from all around, which slightly comforted his aching and sullen heart.

“Lin Fei, why don’t we treat you to a late-night snack?” Gu Xinran said, quite embarrassed.

She pulled on Lin Fei’s arm, looking up and genuinely wanting to repay the favor.

Lin Han also smiled, “What do you say?

Two beauties are inviting you.”

Lin Fei had a sudden inspiration.

Damn it, it was his turn to fleece them!

“Sure!”

…

There sat Lin Fei, at a roadside barbecue stall, staring at the greasy, blackened grill sizzling with skewers.

He suddenly felt the urge to rampage.

What the hell!

Even if he could eat a lot, how much could he really eat?

“Here we are, today the two of us, beautiful ladies, are going to drink with you!”

Lin Han seemed to have had a pang of conscience and also wanted to salvage some of her perfect image in front of Lin Fei, her boss and pseudo-husband.

“That’s more like it!”

Lin Fei glared at Lin Han.

Lin Han returned a sweet smile, having eaten over ninety thousand worth of food, her smile certainly had to be sweeter.

Many people couldn’t help but gaze at the three of them, dressed in clothes that were clearly not the usual attire for a roadside stall, drawing lots of attention.

The few guys at the next table, unsure whether to carve dragons or paint tigers, were staring intensely at Lin Fei’s area, obviously not looking at him.

But Lin Han and Gu Xinran, dressed in what seemed like ball gowns, carried an aura that made them stand out in such a place, drawing eyes whether they liked it or not.

Especially their figures and faces; they were of the highest calibre, making the young men restless.

All of the sudden, the four guys exchanged glances, seemingly concocting a plan.

Then, one of them called out, “Boss, that table over there is on us!”

The boss, hearing this, looked over his patrons and asked, “Which table?”

“That one!”

The man pointed towards Lin Fei’s table.

Naturally, this caught the attention of Lin Fei and the others.

Lin Han and Gu Xinran turned their heads and saw several guys who clearly looked liked they didn’t have a decent profession.

They were, after all, employees of big firms and held no interest in these men.

It wasn’t a matter of occupational hierarchy or standing, but a comparison of decency and lack thereof.

Lin Han spoke out, “No need!”

The boss gave a dry laugh and looked towards the four young men.

The one who had spoken up, with a dragon tail tattooed on his arm, picked up a bottle of wine and walked over.

“Folks, I’m treating – you’re not going to reject my little gesture of kindness, are you?”

“We can afford our own meal, we don’t need your treat!”

Lin Han frowned, not even wanting to spare another glance at the young man.
