Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 506 Extortion

Hao Jian and Ye Linglan entered a seafood workshop that had all kinds of seafood, a complete range, extremely abundant.

They quickly forgot all about having tricked Song Xiaobao, and ate the seafood with great enthusiasm.

Since they now had plenty of money and no worries, they ate boldly!

But they ordered dishes and had been waiting for over half an hour without any food coming, which made Ye Linglan and the others feel puzzled and impatient.

It's normal and understandable if the restaurant is busy with customers, but it's unreasonable that not even one dish had been served after more than half an hour, right? Even if they served one dish to fill the stomach for the time being that would do, but it was already past eight o'clock, and the three of them were starving with their stomachs glued to their backs.

Eventually, Ye Linglan couldn't stand it any longer, and said to one of the waiters, "Hey, waiter, what's taking so long? The table next to us came later than us and have all their dishes now, but we've been here for over half an hour and haven't had a single dish?"

Ye Linglan was very angry, why was it that other people got their food first, and why was only their table being neglected?

The waiter glanced at them indifferently and said with some impatience, "I don't know, just wait!"

"Hey, what kind of service attitude is that?" Ye Chunliang also got angry at the waiter's attitude.

"That's my attitude, take it or leave it!" The waiter snorted dismissively and then walked away to the side.

"What's wrong with this restaurant, how can it do business with this kind of service attitude?" Ye Linglan was a little annoyed, such service attitude was infuriating.

"I reckon we've been set up, otherwise it couldn't be like this. If they open the door for business, then customers are their bread and butter, and their behavior is against common sense," Hao Jian analyzed carefully. Things were definitely not as simple as he imagined,

"Set us up? Who dares to set us up?" Ye Chunliang's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily.

"Who have we offended recently?" Hao Jian asked with a mock smile.

"That rich second-generation son?" Ye Chunliang exclaimed in doubt, as the most recent offense was just tricking that rich second-generation guy out of more than five thousand yuan.

At the mention of this, Ye Linglan and her brother began looking for Song Xiaobao among the crowd and indeed saw Song Xiaobao sitting at a table not far away, watching them with a face full of hatred.

Ye Chunliang's face darkened, saying unhappily, "What, is this never-ending or what?"

"Let's just go to another restaurant," suggested Ye Linglan, who didn't want to spoil the occasion by getting into a conflict with Song Xiaobao.

"Changing restaurants won't help, I reckon if this guy can command one restaurant, then he can definitely command other restaurants in this mall," Hao Jian said, and then got up from his seat, "Let's go somewhere else, we won't eat in this mall."

Seeing Hao Jian and his group preparing to leave, Song Xiaobao's expression changed subtly, and then he made a signal to a man dressed in a suit who looked like a manager not far away.

The manager immediately nodded at Song Xiaobao and approached Hao Jian and the others who were about to leave.

"Where are you going?" Manager Sun Bingwen asked Hao Jian and his group, blocking their way.

"Waiting so long for a dish, we're not eating here!" Ye Chunliang said impatiently, it was really special that they had not come out sooner, and only when they were all ready to go, did they appear. This restaurant truly didn't know how to do business.

"If you are not eating here, that's fine, but please settle the bill," said Sun Bingwen coldly.

"The bill? Are you out of your mind? We haven't eaten anything, so what is there to pay for?" Ye Chunliang rolled his eyes and found Sun Bingwen's statement ludicrous.

"Sorry, according to our restaurant's rules, once the customer places an order, it cannot be refunded. Even if you don't eat, you must pay," Sun Bingwen said indifferently.

"That's nonsense, what kind of rule is that? You are clearly extorting customers, it's a tyrannical clause!" Ye Linglan fumed. It was obvious that Sun Bingwen was colluding with Song Xiaobao.

Making a joke, not eating but still having to pay, if that's not extortion, what is it?

"If you have any complaints, feel free to complain to our head office, but if you want to leave, you must pay!" Sun Bingwen said with a stern face, clearly not intending to let Hao Jian and his group leave without paying.

"Fine, we won't leave, when will you serve the dishes?" Ye Linglan asked coldly. Since they had to pay even without eating, it was better to eat.

"I don't know, we have many customers today, you'll just have to wait," Sun Bingwen put them off, with no intention to serve Hao Jian and his group anytime soon; he clearly had plans to wait until it was almost closing time to then serve their food.

How could Ye Linglan and her companions be pleased to hear such irresponsible words from Sun Bingwen? They immediately became annoyed, "Are you joking? You won't let us leave or serve food, are you playing us for fools?"

"Take it or leave it, if you don't wait, you have to pay," Sun Bingwen said with impatience, showing no courtesy.

"Fine, let's just consider it feeding the dogs, how much?" Ye Linglan said angrily, really not wanting to argue with Sun Bingwen. After all, there were many people around, and with Hao Jian by her side, she didn't want to appear unladylike in front of him.

"$17,000!" Sun Bingwen responded without even thinking.

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian's face turned cold. Sun Bingwen had quoted $17,000 without even looking at the bill, which clearly indicated it was a number he had just blurted out.

"$17,000? You're trying to swindle us! We only ordered a few dishes, at most it'd be just over $3,000!" Ye Linglan didn't believe it at all. She had seen those menus before, and there was no way they could be that expensive!

"We only ordered a few dishes, how could it be so expensive? $17,000? Tell me where this $17,000 came from!" Ye Chunliang also stared at Sun Bingwen angrily, looking utterly furious.

Sun Bingwen pretended to pick up the menu and pointed at a dish that Hao Jian and his friends had ordered earlier: "Green Island Prawns, $45 each!"

"What? $45 each? Isn't it $45 per dish? What are you selling here, prawns or gold?" Ye Chunliang couldn't believe Sun Bingwen would talk such nonsense. It was clearly supposed to be $45 per dish, but he was claiming it was $45 per prawn, which was absurd.

But Sun Bingwen ignored Ye Linglan's complaints, continuing to quote the prices from the menu as if everything that was sold by the dish was now being sold by the item.

"Enough, no need for any more nonsense. We are not going to pay this bill!" Hao Jian said expressionlessly, as it was clear Sun Bingwen was openly trying to extort them. This was probably instigated by Song Xiaobao, who wants to settle the score from the earlier incident.

"Not going to pay? If you don't, then I have no choice but to hand you over to the police station," Sun Bingwen said coldly.

"Sure, why don't you also call some reporters over? That way, your restaurant can become thoroughly famous. $45 for a prawn; your place will become the most outrageous in Huaxia," Hao Jian sneered, then turned his head to Ye Linglan, "Call some reporters over to see how this unscrupulous restaurant scams money from its customers."

At those words, Sun Bingwen's expression suddenly froze. If Hao Jian really did that, it could ruin him. Their establishment was part of a chain, and if this issue came to light, the entire company would be affected, and he, the resident manager, would be in big trouble.

"Don't worry, I have some friends in the media as well. I'll have a word with them to ensure they don't report nonsense," Song Xiaobao came over at that moment and said, patting Sun Bingwen's shoulder.

With Song Xiaobao's assurance, Sun Bingwen immediately felt like he had been injected with a heart needle, without any further concerns.

Seeing Song Xiaobao appear, both Ye Linglan and Ye Chunliang were visibly enraged.

Yet, Hao Jian laughed, "I thought you were just going to keep hiding in the back like a coward."

Seeing Hao Jian's smiling face, Song Xiaobao felt displeased and snorted coldly, "You think you can easily swindle my money? Let me tell you, you're dead meat today!"

"Can I just say I love how confident you are before getting beaten down like a dog?" Hao Jian mocked.

Song Xiaobao's face turned cold, "Manager Sun, it seems these people have no money to pay. Just call the police directly."

"Alright!" With that, Sun Bingwen took out his phone to make the call.

"Are you sure you want to call the police?" Hao Jian asked with a stern face.

"What, getting scared now? Then why not just pay up like you're supposed to?" Song Xiaobao said with mocking laughter.

"I'd advise you not to call the police. Otherwise, the consequences will be more than you can handle," Hao Jian warned.

However, to Song Xiaobao and Sun Bingwen, his words sounded extremely amusing, as if a condemned prisoner was claiming he would definitely survive.

Sun Bingwen still picked up his phone and made the call: "Hello, 110? There are people here trying to dine and dash. Hurry over!"

"Ah, you've really made the wrong decision," Hao Jian sighed and then suddenly punched Sun Bingwen right in the bridge of his nose, causing a gush of blood to stream down his face.

Looking at Hao Jian in shock, Sun Bingwen said, "You... You dare to hit me?"

"Well, you've already called the police, so hitting you shouldn't make any difference, right?" Hao Jian shrugged nonchalantly. Seeing Song Xiaobao and Sun Bingwen just made him sick, and he had been eager to deal with these two scumbags.

Song Xiaobao was startled. Did Hao Jian really feel indifferent because the police had been called?

"Beat up those two!" Hao Jian directed Ye Linglan and her brother, pointing at Song Xiaobao and his accomplice.

Ye Linglan and Ye Chunliang were ready to rumble, moving towards Song Xiaobao and his cohort.

"I don't want to hit a woman, don't force me!" Song Xiaobao warned Ye Linglan, but as soon as he finished speaking, Ye Linglan kicked him right in the groin.

"You..." Song Xiaobao's face instantly turned green, and cradling his legs together, he slowly knelt to the ground like a little girl.

And as Ye Chunliang moved towards Sun Bingwen, Sun Bingwen was taken aback and, before he could respond, Ye Chunliang's fist was already coming his way.
