My System Seems Different from Theirs

“What? You’re saying that even with half a million troops under my command, the Emperor still suspects me of treason?”

“Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence....

Chapter 612: Ghost 4 (1/2)

The boss gnashed his teeth and said, "Xiao Xiao Xiao, you are so great! Young people nowadays really know how to pretend. If you don't have money, don't come out to eat. I consider this fish as a gift to you. Hurry up and pay the bill and get out!"

Fang Zhiyi looked at Lin Zhou, who was a little evasive when he looked at him: "I just think it's not easy for everyone, so you shouldn't be so petty..."

Fang Zhiyi was waiting for this exact word. He pointed at Lin Zhou and said, "Lin Zhou, I treat you like a brother, and you actually say that to me? Others are taking advantage of us, and I don't ask why, but you accuse me of being petty? I'm leaving!"

As soon as the word "go" came out, Fang Zhiyi turned around and left. Everyone present was stunned for a moment. When Lin Zhou reacted and wanted to chase him, he was grabbed by the boss and said, "Stop! You want to eat for free? Pay! No one can be left behind at this table today!"

He saw that Lin Zhou was easier to bully, so he didn't spare the fish he had previously given away.

Lin Zhou was so anxious that his face turned red. Where would he get the money to pay the bill?

"I, I didn't pay the bill, he treated me..." Lin Zhou spoke incoherently.

A customer who was drinking nearby scoffed, "I see. The one who treated us only took a bite, and you're the only one eating and drinking like that. Are you being taken advantage of? Hahahaha."

"I, I didn't..." Lin Zhou suddenly thought of the time when he was caught stealing as a child. There were also many people watching him, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"You're such a grown-up and you can't even figure out three hundred? Stop pretending! Give me the money! Otherwise I'll call the police!" The boss was sure of Lin Zhou.

Lin Zhou was almost crying, especially when he heard the discussions among the people around him. He felt that these people were making fun of him.

He called Fang Zhiyi, but Fang Zhiyi seemed to be still angry and didn't answer at all. In the end, he called his father. Father Lin came over cursing and gave him the money, and kicked him twice in public. Lin Zhou's face was completely disgraced at this time, and he could only leave with Father Lin in shame.

Lin Zhou remained true to himself. After leaving, he explained to his father, "It was all Fang Zhiyi's fault. He said he'd treat me to a meal, and ordered so many dishes, but when it came time to pay, he ran away!"

Upon hearing this, Father Lin was furious: "I've known for a long time that this guy is no good! You're stupid too! You just believe everything he says? Huh?" The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. "I'll go find him!"

As the door was knocked, Fang Zhiyi opened it with a look of confusion on his face.

"Uncle Lin? What is this?"

Father Lin looked at him angrily: "Fang Zhiyi, I have watched you grow up since you were a child. Why did you play tricks on Lin Zhou like this today?"

Lin Zhou's face was also full of resentment. It was all because of him that he lost all his face!

Fang Zhiyi looked bewildered: "How did I trick him?"

Father Lin said, "You invited him to dinner, ordered so many dishes, and then ran away without paying the bill, right? It was me who paid for it... Today you..."

Fang Zhiyi slapped his thigh and said, "Uncle Lin, did you give me the money?"

Father Lin was stunned by this: "Ah."

"I left some money, three hundred, under the plate." Fang Zhiyi said.

"What? You...why don't you say anything?" Father Lin was a little at a loss for a moment.

"I have such a close relationship with Lin Zhou, why would I just leave him there? Of course I knew he was broke, otherwise he wouldn't keep asking me to borrow money. I even pointed at the plate before leaving, thinking he understood."

Father Lin turned to look at Lin Zhou and asked, "Did you borrow money from anyone?"

Lin Zhou looked at Fang Zhiyi in panic. Fang Zhiyi also realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and immediately laughed and said, "It's not borrowing, uh, that, this... blame me, blame me."

"Pa!" With a slap, Lin Zhou felt his face shattered into pieces.
