56: Chapter 56: Scam 56: Chapter 56: Scam “Meng Ke is looking for me?”

Qin Hao paused for a moment and said, “Has something happened?”

“It’s said she’s caused some trouble and is being harassed now.” Lin Yuhan frowned and said, “This girl always likes getting into trouble.

Qin Hao, you should go check on her.”

“Alright.” Qin Hao rubbed his temples, then said, “I’ll head out now.”

“Okay.” Lin Yuhan nodded.

They quickly left the Walmart Mall and parted ways on the roadside.

Qin Hao went to Qingshan University, while Lin Yuhan headed home first with her stuff.

Just as Qin Hao flagged down a car by the road, his phone buzzed with a bunch of messages from Zhao Mengke:

“Boohoo, Qin Hao, why aren’t you here yet?”

“I’ll cry if you don’t come soon.”

“Please, hurry up, boohoo.”

Qin Hao frowned.

This girl was in such a rush; it seemed she was really in some big trouble.

“Where are you?” Qin Hao sent a message asking.

Zhao Mengke replied almost instantly: “Crown Fragrance Western Restaurant.”

Qin Hao was taken aback.

Wasn’t that the place that previously sold fake steak and Lafite wine?

Qin Hao typed a message: “I’ll be there in ten minutes.”

Then, Qin Hao glanced at the taxi driver and said, “Driver, please get us to the destination within ten minutes.”

“Young man, are you joking?

This journey takes at least fifteen minutes.

Do you want me to speed or run red lights?

I’m telling you, that’s impossible!” the driver said, glaring at him.

Pa.

Qin Hao pulled out a wad of cash from his wallet, didn’t even look at it, and slapped it on the steering wheel, saying, “Get there in ten minutes.”

The driver initially looked disdainful, glanced at the money, then his expression changed, and he squeezed out a smile, saying, “Alright, sir, I’ll take the shortcut immediately!”

Qin Hao started timing, and at the nine-minute mark, the car stopped at the entrance of Crown Fragrance Western Restaurant.

At this point, Qin Hao looked at the driver with surprise, as the driver had demonstrated incredible driving skills along the way.

“Don’t worship me, just call me the old driver.” The driver said happily.

Qin Hao gave the driver a thumbs up, then opened the door and got out, walking towards the Western restaurant.

As soon as he entered, he heard some arguing voices, and he immediately frowned.

“You’re deliberately squeezing me for money!

It was clearly your server who slipped and bumped into me, causing the wine to shatter!”

Zhao Mengke said angrily, with Yu Dongling by her side.

Both of them were surrounded by the restaurant’s staff, with a broken wine bottle on the floor and red liquid flowing everywhere.

Qin Hao glanced over; it was an ’82 Lafite, worth at least fifty thousand.

“Miss, please don’t twist the truth.

You bumped into me and caused the wine to break.” A waiter said to Zhao Mengke with a calm face.

“You must have cameras here, right?

Let’s check the footage!” Zhao Mengke said angrily.

“Sorry, miss, our equipment is under maintenance today, and all camera monitoring is down.” A man in a suit smiled slightly, acting very gentlemanly, and said, “There were many witnesses around.

We can ask them to find out what happened.”

This man in a suit, who was the manager of the restaurant, named Lv Meng, was someone Qin Hao had seen before.

At this moment, Lv Meng scanned the surroundings and asked, “What happened just now?”

“This young lady got up and accidentally bumped into the waiter, causing the wine to break.”

“Yes, yes, that’s exactly what happened.”

“This wine seems very expensive, and it looks like this female student can’t afford it, so she’s trying to cheat her way out of paying?”

Some nearby students said jeeringly.

“You…

you’re talking nonsense!”

Zhao Mengke was immediately anxious upon hearing this, glaring angrily at the surrounding students.

“How can you slander someone like this?

It wasn’t Xiaomeng’s fault at all.” Yu Dongling said angrily as well.

The people around remained silent, but their attitude was clear as they stood with Lv Meng.

“Miss, it’s clear what’s happened.

Please compensate for the wine, totaling fifty-three thousand one hundred.

You broke an ’82 Lafite.

Here is the certification and price proof for this bottle of wine.

Our restaurant adheres to the principle of honesty and would never cheat you.” Lv Meng said very politely, appearing gentlemanly, “Would you like to pay by card, or online?”

Seeing Lv Meng accuse her directly, Zhao Mengke’s eyes reddened with grievance, and she said, “You’re framing me and bullying me!”

But she was helpless.

Looking around, she was surrounded and clearly wouldn’t be let go without paying, but thinking about handing over fifty thousand was already heartbreaking enough!

“Mengke.”

At this moment, a calm voice spoke up.

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Zhao Mengke’s eyes lit up, and she turned her head to see Qin Hao walking over step by step.

She immediately felt like she had found her savior.

“Boohoo, why did you just get here?

I was about to die of anger.” Zhao Mengke said, full of grievance.

Qin Hao patted Zhao Mengke’s head and said, “Leave this to me.”

“Okay.” Zhao Mengke pouted her lips and nodded, showing complete trust in Qin Hao.

At this moment, Qin Hao glanced around, then looked at Lv Meng.

Lv Meng was frowning, staring at Qin Hao with hostility, seemingly holding a grudge against him.

Since last time, when Qin Hao and Wei Qi ate here, and Qin Hao pointed out that their steak and wine were fake, the restaurant’s reputation had plummeted, leaving their business in dire straits.

The restaurant owner blamed everything on Lv Meng, withholding both his salary and bonuses.

In Lv Meng’s eyes, Qin Hao was the villain, akin to an enemy.

“My friend broke this bottle of wine?” Qin Hao pointed to the wine on the ground and asked.

“Yes, are you thinking you won’t pay?” Lv Meng scrutinized Qin Hao, speaking with a hint of disdain, “Or can’t afford to?”

At this moment, Zhao Mengke looked helplessly at Qin Hao and said, “Qin Hao, it really wasn’t me who broke it.

You have to believe me.”

Zhao Mengke was very panicked, as she had no strong evidence, and everyone around was pointing fingers at her.

She didn’t know if Qin Hao would believe her.

“Yes, I believe you.” Qin Hao smiled slightly at Zhao Mengke and then said to Lv Meng, “Why involve my friend in our private grievances?”

Lv Meng’s face changed slightly, then he said, “What are you talking about?

I don’t understand!”

“Then let me tell you.” Qin Hao leaned casually against the table, picked up a wine bottle, and casually swirled it in his hand while saying, “I guess last time I mentioned your beef and Lafite were fake and caused you losses, and you hold a grudge against me.

So this time, seeing my friend come here to eat, you wanted to take revenge on them, right?”

After finishing his statement, Qin Hao suddenly made a move, smashing the wine bottle he was holding hard against the head of the waiter who accused Zhao Mengke.
