Chapter 373 - I Want This Room

“Don't worry, Mr. Su, with this video and note in hand, I'll round them all up,” Captain Wu said, beaming with excitement.

?It was clear that this was the work of a gang.

And it wasn't just any gang—these crooks were definitely connected to others.

Following this trail, who knows how many secrets could be unearthed.

It's quite sad, really.

The swindlers roaming the streets have no idea they've been sold out by their own teammates.

There's truth in the saying that one shouldn't fear a formidable enemy as much as a foolish teammate.

They must be cursing up a storm now, realizing these fools left behind a note.

Such stupidity was beyond belief.

Couldn't they think things through?

Captain Wu promptly excused himself to go make the arrests.

Meanwhile, Su Ming and Su Qiu continued on their way to Appliances City.

?But Appliances City wasn't just about appliances; it offered a wide array of electronic products as well.

Su Ming found a parking spot and with Su Qiu in tow, headed straight for a nearby store.

He purchased the most expensive smartphone available.

He didn't stop there; he also bought a laptop and a desktop computer.

He requested the best specs for his computer, including a large screen, though the store needed some time to prepare the order. Su Ming left his address for delivery.

They spent the better part of the morning shopping and didn't leave until noon.

Stepping out of the store, Su Qiu's stomach growled audibly.

She blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed.

?”Are you hungry?” Su Ming asked with a smile, patting his own stomach. “Truth be told, I'm a bit peckish myself. Come on, I'll treat you to something tasty.”

“I'm sorry, sir, but we really...”

The young lady's words were cut short by a crisp sound at the door, clearly indicating that the man had struck her. Su Ming's brow furrowed slightly as he thought, “Who could be so domineering?”

He approached the door and pushed it open to get a better look.

A young man stood at the entrance.

Dressed in an exceptionally expensive suit and gleaming leather shoes, he sported a small bag at his waist and slicked-back hair. A large, flashy watch adorned his wrist, sparkling conspicuously.

His presence seemed to demand attention, as if he were saying, “Look at me, I'm wealthy. Come and admire me!”

Zhou Yong caught sight of the door swinging open and scrutinized Su Ming from head to toe, a scornful smirk quickly spreading across his face.

?To him, Su Ming appeared destitute.

This man was flaunting his wealth just because he had a little money in his pocket!

But he, Zhou Yong, was truly affluent.

?”Give me this private room immediately,” he demanded, pulling out five banknotes from his pocket. “Don't worry, I'm not unreasonable. Take this money and dine at another establishment.”

“Oh?”

Su Ming responded with a calm smile. “I'm sorry, but I'm not giving up this room.”

Zhou Yong, taken aback by the refusal, burst into an incredulous laugh. “You dare to disrespect me? I was generously offering you money, but now I've changed my mind. Get out of here, now!”

Just then, the clacking of high heels resonated from the staircase. A heavily made-up woman approached Zhou Yong and clung to him tenderly, saying, “Darling, I'm so grateful. I've always wanted to dine here but could never afford it. Thank you, my love. What's the issue? Is the private room occupied? Maybe we should just eat downstairs.”

“No way!” Zhou Yong replied, his agitation mounting.

?As Young Master Zhou, he couldn't afford to be embarrassed in front of a woman.

“This is your last chance. Take the money and leave, or don't blame me if I resort to force,” Zhou Yong said with a cold laugh.

?He had intended to tower over Su Ming in disdain, but his height fell short.

No matter!

Zhou Yong mused to himself, “I may not be able to outdo him in that regard, but I've got money, and money talks!”

“Apologies, I'm staying put.”

Su Ming repeated his stance firmly.
