Chapter 653: Leave It to Me
Chapter 653: Leave It to Me
"Dad, how come you are here?"
"Dad, what are you doing here?"
Ye Xiaoyu and Mao Rongrong were chatting with Huang Shi in the room when they noticed their fathers were gone. Fearing something might have happened to them, they excused themselves from Huang Shi and went out to look for their dads. They didn’t expect to come out and see a crowd gathered not far away, with their two fathers on the other side talking to someone. The two of them exchanged glances, full of curiosity about what could have happened. With that thought, they hurried over to their dads and started asking to find out what was going on.
"Hello, here’s what happened. Your dad got drunk and vomited on Young Master Long, Huang Dalong. Now, he’s demanding ten million to let your dad go. You better persuade him. In this situation, it’s best to just pay the money for peace and to avoid trouble. Also, let me tell you, that Young Master Long has a lot of power around here, and he’s not someone we can afford to mess with. For your father’s sake, just pay the money to avoid disaster. I’ve said what I needed to and what I didn’t need to; the rest is up to you. That’s as far as I can manage."
Manager Wang realized that these two beautiful young women were the daughters of the two nouveau riche when he heard them speak. It dawned on him that having the daughters persuade their fathers would be much more effective than anything he could say. With that in mind, he quickly explained the situation and then immediately left to appease Young Master Long, trying to get him to allow more time to sort out the issue. Internally, he sighed with frustration over the troublesome event that had occurred; what bad luck!
"Dad, is what that man said true?"
"Dad, how could you vomit on someone else?"
"I didn’t mean to; I just couldn’t control it and, before I knew it, it just came out."
"We both drank too much at lunch; it couldn’t be helped."
"Dad, how do you plan to resolve this?"
"Yeah, that Young Master Long is asking for ten million!"
"Ten million is impossible. I already told Manager Wang; one million is the limit."
"Yeah, if we pay ten million, where would you two dads put your faces?"
"But that guy is really powerful!"
"Exactly, what if he decides to harm us?"
...
The two campus beauties and their lovable but silly fathers started to discuss how to solve the problem at hand. They couldn’t come up with any good solutions. The other side was asking for an exorbitant ten million, which was clearly extortion. Not only did their fathers disagree, but they themselves did not agree either. However, they faced someone powerful, a local strongman. As the saying goes, "even a powerful dragon cannot crush a local snake," and now they had no idea how to handle it.
Should they pay or not? What to do? If they couldn’t think of a solution and Young Master Long grew impatient and decided to hit their fathers, that would be terrible. What should they do? At this point, Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu were completely out of ideas, feeling helpless and panicking without a solution...
"Sister Rongrong, should we go find Teacher Lin?" Xiaoyu, out of options, suddenly thought to seek help from Teacher Lin. They were at a loss, but Teacher Lin would surely have a way. They had never seen Teacher Lin unable to solve a problem; with him stepping in, the issue would undoubtedly be resolved. With this in mind, Xiaoyu hurriedly spoke to Rongrong. Although Xiaoyu didn’t know how Teacher Lin would handle it, she firmly believed that Teacher Lin would certainly sort out their current trouble.
"Okay! Let’s go find Teacher Lin." Mao Rongrong’s mind was in chaos, and when she heard Ye Xiaoyu say that, she quickly realized that having Teacher Lin step in was the best thing to do in the current situation. Teacher Lin was so formidable, he would definitely help them solve the problem their fathers had caused. With this thought, Mao Rongrong immediately grabbed Ye Xiaoyu and ran towards the direction of the private room.
"How can Lin Feng solve the current situation?"
"Exactly, Young Master Long is clearly a local ruffian. Besides, Lin Feng didn’t bring that impressive steward, how can he solve it?"
Mao Dawang and Ye Xiangqian saw their daughters suddenly run off to find Lin Feng, and deep down they didn’t believe Lin Feng could resolve the issue. Lin Feng was a French teacher; how could he deal with a local ruffian? If Lin Feng had brought that powerful steward with him, perhaps it would have been possible to scare off the ruffian. But since the steward wasn’t there today, even if Lin Feng showed up, he would be helpless. How annoying! Did they really have to pay Young Master Long ten million? Just thinking about it made Mao Dawang and Ye Xiangqian feel like vomiting blood. It wasn’t about the money, but the thought of losing face was something they couldn’t bear.
Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu had just reached the entrance of the private room when they saw Huang Shi coming out.
"What happened? Is there a problem?" Huang Shi had only been in the room for a while. Teacher Lin had not yet arrived on the phone call, and since the school beauties had been out for so long, Huang Shi was a bit worried that something might trouble them, or that the drunken fools encountered something inconvenient for the two girls. With this thought, Huang Shi walked out of the private room planning to check on them, not expecting to see the two school beauties running his way. He was immediately puzzled. Weren’t they looking for the two fools? Why did they return? Did something really happen?
"Huang Shi, just now dad threw up on someone, and that person immediately demanded ten million as compensation. It’s still going on over there. We need to find Teacher Lin to help us handle this. It’s so frustrating, how could we run into such trouble today!" Mao Rongrong, seeing Huang Shi’s questioning, quickly explained the situation. She was very worried about their fathers, fearing that the local ruffian might run out of patience and harm them.
"Yes, Huang Shi, don’t stop us. We need to hurry and find Teacher Lin. That person is a local ruffian; he’s capable of anything. We’re afraid he’ll harm our dads. We can’t delay. It could really lead to trouble!" Ye Xiaoyu spoke urgently, her mind racing. The temperaments of their fathers were not the best. Confronted with such a situation, if things turned ugly, there could definitely be violence. What worried her most was finding Teacher Lin to ask for his help.
What? A local ruffian?
When Huang Shi heard the two of them talk like this, he was immediately puzzled. This was a five-star hotel; what kind of local ruffian would have the audacity to demand ten million just like that? It’s a lion’s mouth wide open. Didn’t he worry about the big wind twisting his tongue? Looking over to the other side, seeing those people, Huang Shi was speechless, thinking the world had gone mad. They were just a bunch of riffraff who couldn’t even get close to his circle, and they dared to extort the fathers of Boss’s beloved? They truly had no idea what they were getting into!
"There’s no need to find the Boss. Why bother him with such trivial matters? Leave it to me."
After glancing at Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu and speaking indifferently, Huang Shi left the stunned school beauties behind and walked toward Huang Dalong, plotting how to deal with these ignorant thugs who dared to extort the Boss’s fathers-in-law. Today, no matter what, he would teach these people a lesson.
......
"Manager Wang, this isn’t going anywhere. Look at those two fools; they obviously don’t know what’s good for them! My friends are all waiting here too. Standing around like this is pointless. What do you suggest we do now?" After finishing his cigarette, Huang Dalong glanced at the two old men still whispering to each other and felt displeased. What was there to dawdle over? His friends were all watching; he wanted to resolve this and go on to have fun. Who had the time to waste here?
With this in mind, Huang Dalong could no longer hold back. He turned to Manager Wang next to him and spoke, secretly thinking it was not that he wasn’t giving face, but that the two old fools really didn’t know what was good for them. Waiting like this without an end in sight, if they didn’t offer a solution soon, then they couldn’t blame him.
"Young Master Long, your lordship is magnanimous. There was indeed an accident today, and I understand it’s not good to keep your friends waiting. But ten million is no small sum; even though these two men are wealthy, they need to discuss it. How about this? Give them a final five minutes. If they can’t come up with a solution, then our hotel will turn a blind eye to whatever you do next. How does that sound?"
Manager Wang, hearing Huang Dalong’s words, instantly knew the situation was not great. Huang Dalong was probably getting impatient. If this dragged on, it would likely lead to violence. And indeed, Huang Dalong had given them plenty of face today. If things were pushed too far, he couldn’t say much. After thinking it over, he could only suggest a final delay of five minutes. If no decision was made by the two nouveau riche within that period, then there was nothing more he could do. He had done everything possible, and anything that happened after was out of his hands.
"Alright, Manager Wang, let’s do as you say. If there’s an offense later, I hope your hotel will forgive us. But rest assured, I won’t put you in a difficult position. If any actions are necessary, they’ll involve taking the two old fools outside." Huang Dalong, pleased with Manager Wang’s words, thought it was a decent proposal, and decided to proceed accordingly. He would see how the two old men decided shortly.
Five minutes isn’t much time, but it’s enough for the two old men to make a decision. If they still refuse to pay up, they’re really asking for trouble. Not only will he discipline them, but he will also have them pay an additional sum. His time as Young Master Long was not to be wasted!
