Chapter 975: Chapter 985: One Big Pot (Part 2)
Auntie, "..."
At this moment, her thought was, I must be seeing things!
She rubbed her eyes and found the money was still there, so she wasn’t mistaken!
"Could it be they’re robbing tourists?"
As soon as this idea came up, she looked at the somewhat bumbling security guard again—broad shouldered and thickset, and behind him stood three others like him, all looking like they weren’t good people.
The look in their eyes was even more unusual...
Before she could wrap her head around it, the counter resounded with three more "bang bang bang" sounds.
When she looked again, she saw three thick stacks of RMB, lined up neatly on the counter.
"Seems like they’re really robbing tourists!"
"And they absolutely robbed someone rich!"
She wasn’t scared though, since there was a counter between them and windows made of thumb-sized steel bars.
"Please wait a moment, I’ll consult with my manager!" she said somewhat nervously.
After all, with such a large amount of money, if it was really robbing tourists, it might involve international relations, and if it got checked out, they would most likely have to return it.
So, she had to consult the manager.
The four security guards hadn’t thought that much and didn’t even realize that this auntie was thinking in such a way.
Soon, the auntie came over with a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man first looked at the intimidating cash on the counter; he couldn’t help but twitch his eyelids twice.
"Cough cough!"
After clearing his throat twice, he cautiously asked, "May I ask something?"
The young security guard looked back, saw the team leader nod, and then replied, "Yes, you can!"
The middle-aged man, "..."
Auntie, "..."
The two of them simultaneously thought, this scene is exactly like a movie where a gang of bad guys gets their hands on illicit gains.
They exchanged a glance but still maintained their composure.
"Where did your money come from?" the middle-aged man asked, while staring intently at the young security guard.
It seemed he was trying to find something in his expression.
He held a phone in his hand, and the screen showed "101," with his thumb hovering over it.
This was the pace for making a police report!
The four outside thought this was a normal inquiry process; plus, they had never exchanged money before and had no idea anything was amiss, nor did they think anything was wrong with what they said.
They were even less aware that the other side was about to call the police.
To them, they were just exchanging money.
The money was also earned properly!!!!
"A Huaxia person gave it!" the young security guard replied honestly, which was indeed the truth.
However, in the middle-aged man’s ears, it obviously sounded different!
"Sure enough, they are robbers!"
"But you guys are too bold, daring to exchange money in such a crowded place?"
If it was a corner, then an exchange would go unnoticed.
But this was the main street, very crowded.
Moreover, they put the money on the counter directly, and quite a few people had already seen it.
If something happened, the exchange institution would definitely not escape responsibility.
The next moment, he decisively pressed the emergency call button; inwardly, he sneered, you guys are reckless robbers, just wait.
Of course, the call screen showed it was on silent; he just needed to ask some questions next and let the police hear them.
If it was an ordinary person, the police might think it was a prank, but they were in cooperation with the police station.
As soon as his phone rang, the nearest police station would immediately send someone over.
Plus, coupled with some questions he would ask, the police station would definitely send more than six officers.
Of course, after asking, he’d need to find a way to stall them; otherwise, the police wouldn’t make it in time.
....
Elsewhere, Lin Xi and Luo Susu left a step ahead of the four security guards.
He took out four thick stacks of RMB from the Jade Pendant Space, handed them to the four security guards coming out, and left there.
By this time, it was past seven in the evening.
Both of them were hungry, so they used a local app to see what good food was nearby.
It turned out there was a Chinese restaurant nearby with quite a few reviews; it just wasn’t clear if the scores were genuine.
Soon, the two of them were inside the Chinese restaurant.
Once inside, it was all full.
Luckily, as soon as they arrived, a young couple sitting by the window were leaving; it seemed the girl was a little upset and ran out of the store.
The guy immediately paid the bill and followed.
The seats were for three, but of course, two people could use them too.
"Order whatever you want, don’t hold back!" Lin Xi said to Luo Susu after they sat down.
Luo Susu glanced at Lin Xi, "Of course I will!"
"You’re so rich; if I don’t eat well, I’d be letting myself down!"
"Also, you’ve been taking advantage of me all along; I haven’t even mentioned it yet!"
Lin Xi, "..."
"When did I take advantage of you?"
"Don’t wrongly accuse an honest person!!"
Luo Susu opened the menu, peering at Lin Xi, "You said you were my man!"
"Doesn’t that count?"
"And you held my hand all the way?"
"Doesn’t that count?"
Lin Xi, "..."
"You’ve got it wrong!"
He actually got publicly accused one day!
This was hilarious!
So, he said next, "First, aren’t you my trial period girlfriend?"
Luo Susu didn’t say anything but it seemed like she agreed.
"That means I am your man!"
Luo Susu disagreed with this; a trial is just a trial, and during the trial period, you haven’t even taught me how to play the piano.
How can you be my man?
"You’re being unreasonable!" she retorted to Lin Xi, while selecting a dish.
Lin Xi ignored her and directly spoke about the second issue, "At the start, I held your hand, that’s true!"
"But afterward, it was you who held mine voluntarily!"
"Though I did hold your hand outside, you didn’t resist!"
"So, back and forth like this, plus our different attitudes, it’s not like I took advantage of you!"
By the time he said this, Luo Susu had already picked three or four dishes, but she seemingly hadn’t finished.
"So if you forcefully say I took advantage of you, then you did the same to me!"
"Hmm, ultimately, neither of us took advantage of the other!"
Hearing this, Luo Susu closed the menu in a huff. She’d seen shameless people but not a shameless jerk like this.
Fortunately, the waiter beside them didn’t understand much Chinese; otherwise, they’d certainly think the two of them were really bizarre, wouldn’t they?
Next moment, she couldn’t remember what she just ordered, so she told the waiter in English, "Bring one of each of the top ten on your menu!"
Waiter, "..."
"And bring a large bowl of rice, like a really big pot!" she pointed to a small hotpot someone was eating nearby.
Waiter, "..."
