"What?!"
Luo Fang screamed in disbelief.
Could this guy be any more shameless?!
Not only did he give her all the money he had on him, but he also wanted to use her bank card?!
"Don't you understand? Swipe your card!" Lu Yuan said matter-of-factly. "Who carries cash around these days? What can you do with the little money you have in your pocket? Of course you have to swipe your card!"
"You're extorting me!"
Luo Fang was so angry that her face turned red, and she pointed at Lu Yuan with trembling hands.
"Extortion? Are you sure?"
Lu Yuan lifted his eyelids slightly, his tone indifferent.
"I……"
Luo Fang was speechless, stunned by Lu Yuan's words, and hesitated before looking at the man beside her.
“Brother Jie…”
Sheng Jie patted Luo Fang's hand, then glared angrily at Lu Yuan.
"Didn't Fangfang already compensate you? Why are you still holding onto this, arguing with a woman over such a trivial matter? Are you even a man?!"
Lu Yuan chuckled upon hearing this, then curiously asked Sheng Jie a question.
Are you a military training instructor at Longteng Academy?
Sheng Jie was puzzled by Lu Yuan's question and subconsciously replied, "No! Why are you asking this?"
Luo Fang immediately reacted and lunged forward to cover Lu Yuan's mouth, but Lu Yuan nimbly dodged to the side.
"Bro, I suggest you go to Dragon Academy and find out what your girlfriend is up to. You might be surprised!"
Sheng Jie immediately turned to look at Luo Fang, "What did he mean by that?"
Luo Fang's face turned deathly pale.
"No, Brother Jie! Don't believe him, he's trying to sow discord between us!"
"Whether it's instigation or not, we'll find out by investigating, won't we?" Lu Yuan interjected at the opportune moment.
"Shut up!"
Luo Fang shouted at Lu Yuan, then looked at Sheng Jie with pitiful, pleading eyes.
Sheng Jie frowned as he looked at her, remaining silent.
"Alright, alright! You two can settle your own issues back home. Now, pay me back what you owe me!"
Lu Yuan shoved the POS machine into Luo Fang's face again.
Luo Fang looked at Sheng Jie pitifully again, but this time Sheng Jie remained silent and said nothing.
at last.
Luo Fang had no choice but to reluctantly take out her bank card.
"Beep! Card balance: 100."
After swiping his card, Lu Yuan curled his lip slightly in disdain.
"Tsk! I thought you didn't have much money, but I didn't expect you to be this poor!"
Luo Fang only had five thousand yuan in her card. If it weren't to teach her a lesson, Lu Yuan wouldn't have bothered to swipe it.
Lu Yuan tossed the bank card back to Luo Fang and grinned.
"I'm being kind by leaving you some money for a taxi!"
Holding her empty bank card, Luo Fang felt like crying, but she dared not say anything, fearing that Lu Yuan would reveal everything he knew. She quickly pulled Sheng Jie away.
After the two left, Lu Yuan turned to look at the stall owner.
"What are you looking at?! I didn't say anything just now, it was those two who said it!" The stall owner instinctively covered his wallet, his face full of vigilance.
Lu Yuan smiled slightly upon seeing this.
"Don't worry, I have no designs on you."
The stall owner had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Yuan pick up the phone.
"Hello, is this Boss Chu? I've discovered someone maliciously inflating prices at Treasure City. They're extremely arrogant. I hope you can send someone to deal with them!"
After saying these words, Lu Yuan hung up the phone immediately.
"Wait a moment, someone will be here to find you soon."
After hearing Lu Yuan's words, the stall owner was initially a little scared, but after thinking about Lu Yuan's previous actions of leaving, he became fearless again.
"Who are you trying to scare! Do you really think I'm easily frightened? I don't believe you! Don't pretend!"
If Lu Yuan could really find the supervisory department of Treasure City, he would have reported him directly just now. Why did he have to wait until now?
So this kid is definitely just trying to scare him!
He won't fall for that!
Just then, a group of staff members dressed in Treasure City security uniforms walked over from a distance.
"Excuse me, which one of you is Mr. Lu?"
Lu Yuan raised his hand. "That's me."
The team leader approached Lu Yuan and said, "Hello, Mr. Lu. We are from the supervision department of Treasure City. We are here on Mr. Chu's orders to deal with the stalls that are maliciously raising prices."
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, then pointed to the pale-faced stall owner across from him.
"It's him. He's trying to sell me a Heavenly Evolution-level Fire-type Spirit Pill worth 1 billion for 1.5 billion."
"No, no, no, I'm not..."
The stall owner waved his hands repeatedly, trying to argue, but the regulatory officials ignored him and directly subdued him.
"Your right to set up a stall in Treasure City is revoked for maliciously inflating prices. Take your goods and leave immediately!"
After speaking, the team leader turned to look at Lu Yuan.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for helping to maintain order at Treasure City. To express our gratitude, please accept this membership card. You will receive a 10% discount on all purchases at Treasure City in the future."
Lu Yuan smiled as he accepted the membership card, thinking to himself that Chu Zhaocai really knew how to do business.
Not only did they help him secretly, but they also created an image of fairness and impartiality for Treasure City, resolutely preventing price gouging, which won the approval of consumers.
He had a perfectly clear plan, yet Lu Yuan still had to thank him.
"Please thank Mr. Chu for me."
The team leader nodded to Lu Yuan and then turned to look at the stall owner who was standing there in a daze.
"Why aren't you leaving yet? Do you need our help?!"
Upon hearing this...
The stall owner's already pale face turned even paler.
"I...I..."
He put all his savings into selling goods in Treasure City, and now he hasn't sold a single item. He's about to be kicked out. What is he going to do with all these things?!
No matter how pitiful he appeared, no one present sympathized with him.
Maliciously raising prices must be stopped.
Otherwise, who knows if you'll be the next one to get fleeced?
Watching the stall owner being taken away by the regulatory authorities, Lu Yuan shook his head regretfully.
It's just a pity about that Heavenly Evolution-level fire-type elixir.
I only found one after walking around all day; it seems I'll have to wait for another chance to find one.
...
Lu Yuan spent the entire day exploring the Treasure City, and by the time he returned to the hotel, it was already night.
"call!"
Lu Yuan collapsed onto the bed.
Shopping was more physically demanding than he had imagined. He wondered how those girls could shop all day long!
After taking a quick shower, Lu Yuan prepared to enter the Beast Taming Space.
Just then, the cell phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID on his phone, Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.
Luo Yueyi?
Why would you call him so late?
Lu Yuan was puzzled, and then answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Lu?"
Luo Yueyi's pleasant voice came through the phone, and Lu Yuan responded with a reply.
"It's me. What can I do for you?"
"I'm so sorry to bother you so late!" Luo Yueyi said apologetically. "My father would like to invite you to his home tomorrow afternoon. Do you have time?"
