"I didn't know your English was so good, sir. I made a fool of myself. Please forgive me and don't hold it against me!"

A philosophical critique left the waiter feeling deeply ashamed.

"Look, you use our own language perfectly, both in terms of word choice and context. Why do you have to use someone else's clumsy language on your own turf?"

Not wanting to continue the topic, Wang Qian waved his hand, "Alright, we're eating, hurry up and bring the menu."

"Yes, sir, please wait a moment!"

The waiter dared not act presumptuously again, forced a smile, and then presented the menu to Wang Qian.

Give it to him!

Wang Qian pointed to Shen Chong, who also looked bewildered, and said, "He's my classmate, and he's treating us today!"

"Huh? Oh! Okay!"

Shen Chong realized what was happening and hurriedly took the menu, starting to look at the dishes and prices.

Upon seeing this, his eyes immediately lit up.

The menu is full of Western food, but it's generally quite expensive.

Especially red wines, which are ridiculously expensive, often costing hundreds or thousands, or even tens of thousands.

"I'll take them all!"

After glancing at the menu, Shen Chong immediately pointed to the most expensive items and ordered them.

Wang Qian was already mentally prepared, but in order not to alert the enemy prematurely, he still pretended to be surprised and said, "Shen Chong, isn't this too expensive?"

"fine!"

Shen Chong waved his hand dismissively, "It's rare for classmates to get together, and it's not like we can't afford to eat, right?"

"As long as you can accept it, it's fine, since you're treating!"

Wang Qian did not insist, and he even said this specifically to the waiter.

Soon, the waiters placed the food ordered by the sink to the table one by one.

Among them was a bottle of famous liquor worth over five thousand yuan.

It has to be said that nowadays, Western restaurants are all about selling a high-class image.

Both the way the food was served and the people opening the bottles were full of ritual.

His serious expression and posture gave people the illusion that he was very professional and worth the price.

Then, many wealthy people in China like to spend a lot of money to buy this kind of enjoyment in order to satisfy their vanity.

"Shen Chong, it has to be you. If it were me, I couldn't afford to eat this even if I sold my life."

Wang Qian repeatedly exclaimed in admiration, praising Shen Chong to the skies.

"You're being too polite!"

Shen Chong waved his hand and immediately urged, "Come on, let's eat and drink first, we can talk about the rest later!"

To make himself look sophisticated, Shen Chong even started to eat Western food in a very professional manner.

First, she put on a scarf, then picked up a knife and fork with a very elegant gesture to cut the steak.

Holding a wine glass between two fingers while drinking is a sign of gentlemanly manners.

Wang Qian wasn't so particular; he just picked it up and drank it.

"You're not holding it the right way!"

Shen Chong even corrected him several times.

"I don't think I'm used to this kind of Western food!"

Halfway through the meal, Wang Qian clutched his stomach and said, "I think I have diarrhea, I need to go to the toilet."

Shen Chong frowned slightly, a hint of wariness rising in his eyes.

Seeing that Wang Qian didn't seem to be lying, he just gave an awkward smile and said, "Then you should go quickly. I'll wait for you to come back here!"

"good!"

Wang Qian nodded and immediately went to the restroom.

Then, he simply climbed out of the toilet window and made his escape.

His actions were indeed despicable, but that's exactly how Shen Chong tricked him in his previous life.

He's just retaliating now and doesn't think it's going too far.

If someone treats me with respect, I will treat them with even greater respect.

He will naturally repay others with sincerity.

However, there's no need for him to talk about gentlemanly conduct with a despicable person like Shen Chong who will stop at nothing.

...

At the dining table.

Shen Chong's expression grew increasingly grim.

"Why aren't they here yet? Does it take this long to go to the bathroom?"

Ten minutes later, sweat began to appear on Shen Chong's forehead.

Only Chen Chong remained seated at the table, enduring the torment.

The total cost of everything he ordered should be over seven thousand yuan.

He planned to eat and drink his fill before making a quick getaway, leaving Wang Qian to face the exorbitant meal bill.

Unexpectedly, the other party went first. Isn't this setting him up for failure?

That shameless bastard!

He cursed inwardly, but there was nothing he could do.

Five minutes later, he finally couldn't sit still any longer and got up to go to the toilet.

He wanted to see if Wang Qian had really run away.

After searching the restrooms, they still couldn't find anyone.

"They actually left?"

How could he do this?

Chen Chong was so angry he was about to explode.

He was originally supposed to be the one to do this, but Wang Qian tricked him in the same way.

"Looks like I'd better make a run for it, or I won't be able to afford this meal!"

Soon, he made the same decision.

As soon as he climbed over the toilet window, he was caught by two hotel security guards.

"What? Trying to dine and dash?"

"Luckily, that young man kindly reminded us, otherwise, if he had run away, we really wouldn't know where to find him!"

While catching Shen Chong, the two security guards were overjoyed.

Shen Chong was instantly stunned.

"What did you say? Someone kindly reminded you?"

Ignoring his own arrest, he urgently pressed for an answer: "Who told you?"

"Of course it's the person you ate with!"

One of the security guards said, "He said you often dine and dash and told us to be careful. I didn't expect you to actually try to escape through the toilet window."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chong was so angry he almost vomited blood.

It's one thing for Wang Qian to run away on his own, but he even had the security guards come to catch him. He's really asking for trouble.

"Come on, pay for what you just ate, or you're not leaving here."

Two security guards escorted him back into the restaurant.

Fortunately, he came from a wealthy family and, not wanting his leg to be broken, he had no choice but to go home with two security guards, where he tearfully begged his father to pay the more than 7,000 yuan for the meal.

"Wang Qian, you dare to cheat me, I won't let you get away with this!"

Shen Chong's face was full of resentment and venom. "You just wait! I swear I won't be human if I don't break your arms and legs!"

After making a silent vow, he went straight to the old neighborhood.

Since Wang Qian has wronged him so badly, he definitely can't get revenge through fair and square means.

Only by using some dark and violent methods can Wang Qian pay a sufficiently heavy price.

As it happened, he knew some hoodlums in the old neighborhood.

They're willing to do anything, including murder, arson, and robbery, as long as the money is right.

It would be even better if we could get to know Qin Nan, the boss there.

He was a legendary figure who wielded immense influence in the old neighborhood, and many people, including himself, couldn't curry favor with him.

There was a time when he also wanted to make a name for himself in that area.

But he was timid and afraid of death.

However, in order to make Wang Qian pay the price, he decided to take a risk.
