Chapter 210: [210] I will make you pay a price_1
As the onlookers scanned the faces of Mao Anyi and the woman, someone finally laughed aloud.
“Hahaha, has this woman lost her mind? Claiming that Mao Anyi’s boyfriend took advantage of her? She should look at herself in the mirror!”
“Yeah, when he’s got a beautiful girlfriend like Mao Anyi, would he even spare a glance at her?”
“This woman’s self-perception is way too high, isn’t it? She’s delusional.”
“I think it must have been the crowd, there was a bit of a squeeze, right? It definitely wasn’t intentional.”
“Of course, it wasn’t intentional. Do you even need to ask? Wishing ill on others, disgusting…”
The second Mao Anyi stepped forward, the direction of public opinion did a complete 180.
Mainly because she was just too attractive, especially compared to that woman—like heaven and earth.
Who in their right mind would take advantage of that woman when he has such a gorgeous girlfriend?
Upon hearing the mockery of the crowd, the woman was immediately filled with shame and anger, “Fine, you all decide to gang up on me? None of you are leaving; you’re going to pay for this.”
With that, she pulled out her phone and made a call.
From the gist of the phone call, it sounded like she was calling her brother, and it seemed like her brother worked at the hotel.
“Let’s just go,” Tang Feng suggested, considering Mao Anyi’s status and not wanting to make a big scene.
Seeing the two of them trying to leave, the woman rushed over like a madwoman and clung to his leg, “You take advantage of me and assault someone, and now you want to leave?”
“Let go.”
Tang Feng struggled a few times but couldn’t break free without using too much force, as that would have given the woman even more ammunition.
“I won’t let go. If you dare, beat me to death.”
The woman clung stubbornly to his leg, refusing to let go no matter what.
Just then, a man dressed in the hotel’s uniform hurried over.
This man looked to be in his forties, with a somewhat fierce appearance.
Behind him followed two other employees of the hotel.
He looked like a minor leader within the hotel.
“Yingying, are you okay?” As the man approached and saw his sister struggling with a man, he flew into a rage.
“Brother, this man touched my butt. After I called him out in front of everyone, he even hit me. You must stand up for me.”
The woman burst into tears the moment she saw the man, portraying herself as a victim, cleverly omitting the fact that she had been the first to strike, and he was only defending himself.
The man helped his sister up and glared at Tang Feng with a chilling gaze, “Kid, you touch my sister’s butt and you even have the guts to hit her? Tired of living, huh?”
Tang Feng was speechless.
He had hoped that the brother would have some sense, but it turned out he was just like his sister.
Indeed, birds of a feather flock together.
“I didn’t take advantage of her. The man who did ran off a while ago. And I didn’t hit her—I just blocked her, and she fell over by herself…”
He tried to explain.
But the man wasn’t listening, “Don’t give me that BS. You’re asking for it, aren’t you?”
Mao Anyi couldn’t stand it any longer and immediately defended Tang Feng, “There are cameras in the elevator. Everything that happened should have been recorded. You can check the surveillance footage to see what really happened.”
Instead of helping, her defense only added fuel to the fire.
The man was enraged partly because his sister was bullied.
And partly because he saw a stunning beauty standing next to Tang Feng.
Driven by jealously, he wanted to teach him a lesson.
“What do I need to check the footage for? I believe my sister. Why would she falsely accuse him?”
“So, what exactly do you want?”
Tang Feng, seeing that reason was getting nowhere and not wishing to waste any more words.
“What do I want? I want to smack you,” the man said, ready to charge at him.
The two hotel employees who followed him hurriedly held him back.
“Mr. Liang, don’t be impulsive, Mr. Liang…”
“Yeah, just let the kid compensate and that’s that. It’s not worth starting a fight…”
They managed to calm him down after much persuasion.
But Tang Feng found their clumsy attempt to coordinate laughably poor.
How terrible their acting was.
“If I weren’t wearing this uniform, you’d be dead today,” the man grumbled before changing his tune, “Now, you have two choices: either I take you to the Public Affairs Hall, or you pay up.”
A mischievous smile crossed Tang Feng’s face, “Pay? How much do you want?”
The man scanned him from head to toe, “One hundred thousand!”
Tang Feng couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “One hundred thousand? Isn’t that a bit much?”
“How is that a lot? You not only took advantage of my sister, you even hit her. Going to the hospital for checks doesn’t cost money? What about lost wages from missed work? Stress damages? One hundred thousand is letting you off cheap.”
The man put on an air of righteous indignation.
“You’re trying to scam me, aren’t you afraid I’ll report this to your superiors?” Tang Feng let out a mocking smile.
“Hahaha, report to the superiors, is it? I’m not afraid to tell you, the hotel owner is my maternal uncle, go ahead and complain if you dare. In any case, you’re not leaving those doors today without paying the one hundred thousand,” the man said fearlessly.
“Well, it seems like I’m in the Dragon King’s Temple without knowing the Dragon King. This hotel’s owner is my friend; we’re all family,” Tang Feng calmly countered.
“Who’s family with you? You think you can know our boss just because you claim so? Go take a look in the mirror. You, worthy?” the man scoffed.
“I’m not lying. I just had dinner with your boss. If you don’t believe me, I can call him down right now,” Tang Feng said helplessly, spreading his hands.
“Sure, go ahead and call. Do you even have our boss’s number? Want me to give it to you?” the man asked sarcastically.
“No need for that, I already got his number.” Tang Feng said with a smile, pulling out his phone and calling Zhou Kai, “Mr. Zhou, sorry to bother you, but I’ve got a bit of a problem here…”
He briefly explained the situation.
“I’ll be right there.”
Zhou Kai’s response, after listening, was five words cold.
Tang Feng could detect the chill in his voice.
He began to worry for the man’s future.
