Tang Zihao was somewhat reluctant when he heard Chen Zhe ask him to hit the woman.
He is very well-mannered. Even though he was tricked by these women last night, he didn't lose his temper completely, so he wouldn't hit a woman.
Especially seeing how scared the three women looked, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
"Brother Chen, why don't we just let it go? They've already learned their lesson, so let them leave?"
Seeing Tang Zihao's somewhat cowardly appearance, Chen Zhe sighed slightly.
He stood up and came to Tang Zihao.
"Zihao, you need to think this through. These people have bullied you. If you let them off easily, they will think you are easy to bully. If you are still merciful when you encounter people like this again, you will suffer a great loss."
"I...I can't do it, they're women..."
"So what if they're men? So what if they're women? Does being deceived by a woman mean you have to swallow your anger? When they choose to deceive you, you don't need to care about their gender."
"I...I still can't do it, let them go."
"Yes! Let us leave. If you hit us, it will be considered intentional assault, and we might call the police."
He said to Lina.
"That's right, if you dare to hit us, we'll call the police!"
Mu Xiaoyu chimed in.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded; "Yes, we will call the police!"
It's unrealistic to expect them to call the police and get their money back; they were just taking advantage of this loophole by delaying their cooking. But if they were assaulted, it would be a different story, and they would have every right to call the police.
Thinking of this, they felt more confident, and their eyes, which had been filled with fear, became much more determined.
"Let us go right now!! Or I'll call the police right now!"
Mu Xiaoyu took out her phone and threatened to call the police.
The other two women also shouted. They used to dislike the police because they were on the opposite side, but now the situation was different. They were the victims when they were beaten, and the police would definitely help them.
Snap!
Chen Zhe slapped Mu Xiaoyu across the face.
The air fell silent the moment the slap landed.
Mu Xiaoyu covered her face, glaring angrily at Chen Zhe; "You fucking dare to hit me! I'm calling the police!! Nana, call the police right now!"
"Huh? Oh oh oh!!"
Lina was stunned by what she just witnessed. After she came to her senses, she picked up her phone and prepared to call the police.
But Chen Zhe slapped her across the face again.
Mu Xiaoxiao, who was behind her, also received a solid slap.
The three women covered their faces, their eyes filled with hatred for Chen Zhe.
"You bastard, we'll definitely call the police!" Mu Xiaoyu threatened.
Chen Zhe chuckled, took out his phone, and said calmly, "You called these thugs over to beat us up. The surveillance cameras here have captured it all clearly. If we go to the police station, at most it will be classified as mutual fighting. But once we get to the police station, I will suggest that the police investigate your dealings with the restaurant. I will hire the best lawyers, and getting you arrested shouldn't be too difficult."
Upon hearing that they would be going to jail, Mu Xiaoyu and the other two turned pale with fright.
Mu Xiaoxiao was the most timid, and she immediately burst into tears.
Lina looked embarrassed, her mouth agape, unsure what to say, while Mu Xiaoyu was the first to calm down.
"You're bluffing us. Those people invited us to dinner voluntarily. We never forced them."
Chen Zhe chuckled; “It seems you guys still don’t understand the law. The people you swindled before might have only spent a few thousand or a few hundred yuan, which is indeed not enough to constitute a crime. But my friend is different. You swindled him out of hundreds of thousands of yuan. Under such a huge amount, your actions have constituted fraud. If you can’t pay it back, you will go to jail.”
Mu Xiaoyu and the others were terrified when they heard this. Mu Xiaoxiao cried and grabbed Mu Xiaoyu's hand, "Xiaoyu, what should we do? I don't want to go to jail. If my parents find out, they will beat me to death."
Mu Xiaoyu took a deep breath.
He looked at Chen Zhe and said, "Even so, you still cheated us out of our money. Your actions are the same as ours. If we go to jail, you will go to jail too."
Chen Zhe chuckled again.
Then he took out his phone and played the recording.
Don't worry, just watch my performance. I'll definitely treat you to a great time today...
[Let me pay, this is on me... No, no, we'll pay!]
After Chen Zhe played the two recordings, Mu Xiaoyu's face turned pale again.
"You offered to treat me, but I declined when I offered to treat you instead. And I didn't promise you anything, right?" Chen Zhe said with a smile.
"You...you promised me! You promised to make me rich!!"
Mu Xiaoyu was so angry she was about to cry.
Chen Zhe shrugged; "Really? Do you have any evidence?"
Where does Mu Xiaoyu have evidence? She didn't record anything like Chen Zhe. Mu Xiaoxiao and Lina were participants, so they couldn't prove it for themselves either.
Chen Zhe stepped forward, looking down at Mu Xiaoyu with disdain. His voice carried a hint of coldness: "Little sister, sending you in is as easy as turning my hand. I can even find a few more people to entertain you properly after I send you in. If you doubt that I can do it, then you can try."
Mu Xiaoyu's psychological defenses finally collapsed.
She cried and grabbed Chen Zhe's arm; "Mr. Chen, no, no, please don't do this to me. I really know I was wrong, I will never do it again."
Lina and Mu Xiaoxiao also begged Chen Zhe. They really didn't want to go to jail. The financial loss was nothing to them now. They were willing to do anything as long as they could leave here safely.
Seeing that the fear in Mu Xiaoyu and the other two's eyes outweighed their anger, Chen Zhe nodded slightly.
"I can let you go, but you have to promise me you won't do this kind of thing again. If I find out you're doing this kind of deceitful thing again, I will definitely not let you off the hook."
Mu Xiaoyu and the other two nodded in unison. This time, they had run into a brick wall and were terrified. How could they dare to do such a thing again?
"No, Mr. Chen, don't worry, we will never do it again, I swear!"
"I swear too!!"
"I won't do it again!"
“Swearing won’t work. Write down your parents’ phone numbers and give them to me. I need to have a serious talk with your parents.”
When they heard that their parents would be contacted, the three girls started crying again.
"If you cry again, I'll call the police!"
Chen Zhe threatened.
His threat worked; the three immediately stopped crying, and Chen Zhe called over a waiter to bring paper and a pen.
Have three women write down their parents' phone numbers.
He might not actually hit them; the main purpose is to intimidate them and instill fear in them. Otherwise, if they regret leaving here, there's nothing he can do.
Chen Zhe took the numbers written by the three women, pretended to scan them carefully, then took a picture with his phone. Then one number caught his attention.
I feel like I've seen this number before.
He flipped through his contacts, then looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a strange expression.
"Little Mu, is your father's name Mu Keluo?"
When Mu Xiaoyu heard Chen Zhe directly mention her father's name, she froze on the spot.
