Chapter 531: Quick Money
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Everyone present knew that Zhang Dengke was going down.
Liu Jinlai jolted. He waited for a few more seconds and only gave a sigh of relief when he saw Tang Tianhao picking up his cup.
It seemed like Liu Jinlai was currently safe since Tang Tianhao didn’t fire him on the spot.
Liu Jinlai wiped his sweat away from his forehead and turned back towards Captain Zhao. “What are you idiots still staring for? Bring me Zhang Dengke!”
Tang Tianhao asked Liu Jinlai to come out, but with Zhuang Dengke, he used the word “bring”. The difference was stark.
“Yes!” Captain Zhao saluted!
Captain Zhao had been looking at the calm Ling Yun timidly since the appearance of Tang Tianhao. He behaved like a kid who was being punished, barely daring to breathe.
He was going to arrest someone that incredible moments ago?
How presumptuous of him!
Every one of them was shivering in fear after hearing how Zhang Dengke was being dismissed just like that.
Fortunately for them, Tang Tianhao didn’t vent on them. If not, they would have been caught on the spot.
They were really angry that Zhang Dengke angered someone that had the power to remove them if he wanted to!
“Arrest him!”
Captain Zhao appeared sullen and gloomy from the mixture of the two emotions. He brought five officers and left.
They came back almost instantly. Zhang Dengke was dragged up, having lost the power in his legs after learning of his fate.
“Get in!”
Captain Zhao forced Zhang Dengke through the door of Lakeview Hall.
Their relationship wasn’t bad, to say the least, but Captain Zhao wouldn’t be polite to someone who almost dragged him down with him.
Everyone kicks a man who is down. Such was the reality of officialdom.
Zhang Dengke tumbled onto the floor with a push by two policemen. His fat body slammed onto the ground, trembling in fear.
He got onto his knees immediately and begged Tang Tianhao and Ling Yun for mercy.
“Director Tang, young lad, two beautiful ladies, I beg you to forgive me. I failed to recognize you. I’m a big fool, it’s all my fault...”
This was the second time Zhang Dengke groveled in front of Ling Yun. He did the same just now because he was afraid of falling to death.
Tang Tianhao looked on with disgust. He snorted and turned around, signaling to Ling Yun that the decision was his to make.
“Get lost!” Xue Meining and Miao Xiaomiao said in unison.
Ling Yun, however, was still filled with smiles. “Ning Er, do you think he looks more like a dog or a pig now?” He looked at Zhang Dengke and then turned around amusingly to Ning Er.
Xue Meining and Miao Xiaomiao giggled but didn’t answer. They had to maintain their image.
“I’m a pig... I’m a pig... I’m pigheaded...” Zhang Dengke answered. He wanted nothing more than to give himself a tight slap now!
Ling Yun smiled. “Look, I said before that I won’t change rooms. I have now finished my food.”
Zhang Dengke’s swollen face winced in pain. He finally understood how it felt to kick an iron plate with his bare feet. His arrogance cost him his position, his face, and nearly his life.
Ling Yun now turned towards the pretty waitress. “Hey, pretty, bill please.”
“Okay!” The waitress replied, dizzy from that cute dimple.
“No need!”
“No need!”
Both Liu Jinlai and Zhang Dengke shouted simultaneously.
Zhang Dengke sneaked a peek at Liu Jinlai and continued, “Let me foot the bill for you since I was so ignorant.”
They would really be dead if they allowed Ling Yun to pay for the meal.
Ling Yun was waiting for him to say that. However, he acted embarrassed and said, “I don’t think that’s a good idea, you just lost your job.”
Tang Tianhao heard from Tang Meng how Ling Yun would trick others, but it was the first time he had seen it. It was rather interesting.
Ling Yun was really good at this. He even managed to pour salt onto Zhang Dengke’s wounds with his comments.
“I insist, there’s nothing bad,” Zhang Dengke replied, thinking that Ling Yun would let him go if he were to foot the bill.
“Sigh, I was going to tip this little beauty here fifty thousand yuan...”
Ling Yun glanced at the waitress. She was nice, so Ling Yun wanted to give her a gift.
“I’ll tip... I’ll tip... eh? Fifty thousand?” Zhang Dengke agreed in panic before he realized what Ling Yun was saying.
That beautiful waitress was also stunned!
Ling Yun’s room charge was three thousand yuan an hour. The meal itself was about five hundred yuan. The meal was only about three thousand five hundred, yet he wanted to give a tip of fifty thousand yuan?
“Yeah, fifty thousand yuan. I haven’t given any tips less than fifty thousand yuan when I go for a meal... I’m afraid you might not be able to afford it.”
Ling Yun grinned while demeaning the concept of money in front of so many officers from the Public Security Bureau.
Tang Tianhao’s heart trembled violently. He thought Tang Meng might have exaggerated wildly, but he now knew where this reputation came from.
His speed in gaining money was definitely faster than doing any business. All gain, no capital. In fact, it was even shameless...
Zhang Dengke knew what Ling Yun was doing, but he could only swallow it down.
“Young man, don’t worry, I can afford it...”
It seems like this fatass has quite some money to bleed out. He must have taken a lot of money from the commoners on a daily basis, Ling Yun thought to himself. His eyes turned cold.
“Sigh, I was going to a million-yuan business meeting after lunch. As a result of this delay, my business is gone, and my reputation is ruined...”
Ling Yun shook his head sorrowfully, feeling distressed. He faked it really well.
He squinted at Zhang Dengke and used the Mystical Dragon Howl on him secretly. “What do you think you should do? Shouldn’t you compensate me for my loss?”
Zhang Dengke was on his knees originally. Now, he fell on his butt involuntarily, his face pale, unable to get a word out!
He was stunned!
Zhang Dengke had held the position of squadron leader of the City Urban Administrative and Law Enforcement Bureau of Qingxi for about two years. He had been making money like crazy and had gathered about a million yuan. Ling Yun wanted him to pay everything he had!
Zhang Dengke knew he shouldn’t pay. However, in front of Tang Tianhao, Liu Jinlai, and especially Ling Yun, he couldn’t help but agree. “Y-yes, I should compensate you...”
“That’s great. Compensate me now. I have to go immediately, or another business deal will go down the drain...”
Strike when the iron was hot. That was Ling Yun’s policy.
Ling Yun didn’t mind adding a few more million if Zhang Dengke didn’t pay up now. He would get Tie Xiaohu to collect it.
Everyone else present was also stunned by Ling Yun’s cunning!
F*ck... This rascal... Tang Tianhao was on Ling Yun’s side, but even he was starting to feel that Zhang Dengke was pitiful.
Tang Tianhao had an understanding of how much Zhang Dengke had probably obtained through corrupt practices. Ling Yun was getting all of it from him!
So ruthless...
F*ck, I escaped catastrophe...
Liu Jinlai and Captain Zhao’s faces turned pale, and beads of perspiration fell.
They all turned towards Tang Tianhao gratefully. If he didn’t rush here in time, they would probably meet a similar fate to Zhang Dengke.
Only Miao Xiaomiao, Xue Meining, and Tang Tianhao knew that Ling Yun was benevolent just accepting money. Ling Yun rarely exhorted anything else from them after getting his dues.
Big Brother Yun was fair and kind. He wouldn’t engage in such things.
Zhang Dengke started to make calls like crazy to transfer money. After ten minutes, Ling Yun got a notification that he received a million yuan on his mobile.
The beautiful waitress held a wad of cash in her hands. It felt like something fell into her lap from the heavens.
“Fatass, I won’t kill you today since I’m in a good mood.”
One million yuan for his life. Zhang Dengke didn’t lose anything.
Ling Yun was obviously in a good mood after receiving money. He got up and left with the two beauties by his side without another look at Zhang Dengke.
