41: Chapter 41 Tenfold Bet
"I didn't hear anything!"
"Without any proof, don't you go pointing fingers randomly."
"Exactly, what does your quarreling have to do with us? I'm just here with the neighbors to watch the excitement."
"I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense! I'll sue you for defamation, you know?"
"I'm suing for defamation! He's defaming me! He's defaming me!"
"This guy is crazy, why is he pointing at us? What if something happens and the police take us in for a statement? I don't want to go to the police station."
"Exactly, exactly!"
Wang Biao's face instantly darkened. Damn it, were there really this many drama queens?
Coming back to his senses, he saw the women in front of him snickering, and his anger flared up instantly.
"What the hell are you laughing at? Didn't you fucking say you'd give me an answer? Is this your answer?"
"Did you eat shit, you little brat? Your mouth stinks."
Li Luo couldn't sit still anymore, seeing his woman being insulted repeatedly.
Before, it was the shop's business after all, so it wasn't easy for him to intervene.
Hearing this brat start cursing again, he stepped up and retorted directly.
Pan Xingyue heard a familiar voice and turned around.
"Li Luo, when did you get here?"
"I've been here for a while, sitting in the lounge area. I saw you were busy, so I didn't want to disturb you!"
"Oh, something happened here, so I didn't notice you."
"I know, I've been here for a while and have a general idea of what's going on. Don't worry, I'll help you."
Seeing Li Luo step up to speak for her, Pan Xingyue was quite moved.
"Xingyue, who is this?"
"Sister Ying, this is my friend Li Luo. He came today saying he wanted to buy a watch."
"Oh, I see, buying a watch!"
Sure enough, a top salesperson is a top salesperson; it looked like her sales performance was going to go up again.
"Then Xingyue, take your friend to look at the watches. I'll handle things here; there's no need to trouble your friend."
Wang Biao had been stunned by the sudden insult, but now he came to and looked at the man in front of him.
"Who do you think you are? Does this have anything to do with you? Do you live by the sea? You're sticking your nose in everywhere."
"How did you know I bought a villa by the sea? You're right, I like to look at the ocean when I'm free. Besides, why the hell are you cursing at my girlfriend? Is your mouth that foul?"
Wang Biao was slightly stunned.
"Your girlfriend? She's your girlfriend?"
"No shit. You're bullying my girlfriend and you think you're in the right?"
Don't be fooled by Li Luo's good temper; that was something he had honed while working as a ride-hailing car driver.
Back when Li Luo was in the Orphanage, he was the king of the kids.
When they played house back then, he even had several 'little wives'!
When he first entered society, he was young and had a very short fuse, so he experienced many of society's hard knocks.
Only after a long time did his sharp edges gradually wear down.
Hearing that this man was her boyfriend, Wang Biao thought that was perfect.
"Since she's your girlfriend, she slapped me, so you help her settle it!"
"Settle what?"
"She slapped me. How do you think we should handle it?"
"Who saw her slap you? Do you have evidence?"
"Huh?"
Those seem to be my lines!
"There are so many people watching!" Wang Biao said, pointing at the crowd of onlookers outside.
Looking in the direction he pointed, Li Luo asked.
"Did you see it?"
"No, no, it has nothing to do with me."
"Then did you see it?"
"See what? I just got here."
"Pfft." Seeing Li Luo being so funny, Pan Xingyue couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Honestly, with so many people around, he's saying I'm his girlfriend.
I'll let it slide for now since you're helping me.
Seeing them in cahoots, Wang Biao was furious.
"You... you're bullying a customer because your shop is big? I'm calling the police."
"Calling the police is great! It'll be better once they arrive. I just noticed there's a camera behind you, and it's recorded everything clearly. When the police get here, we'll play it for them."
"If, as you say, my girlfriend slapped you first and then you cursed at her, I'll take responsibility. But if you insulted her first and then she slapped you, then you deserved it."
"Not only will I make your life difficult, but I'll also hire the best lawyer to sue you and let you spend some time in jail to see if you'll learn some manners."
Wang Biao glanced at the camera behind him, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. How could he have forgotten about that?
It's too dangerous out here.
This man looks like someone not to be trifled with!
What if he's just bluffing? But the camera behind him doesn't lie.
"What, speechless? Let's make a bet! Aren't you here to buy a watch? Buy one here, and I'll believe you're a customer."
"Of course, whatever the price of the watch you buy, I'll buy one ten times more expensive. That shouldn't be too hard on you, right?"
Wang Biao's eyes lit up.
Looking at Li Luo's punchable face—man lives for his pride just as a tree lives for its bark—he was determined to make him bleed money.
Although his balance was only a little over eight thousand, he still had ten thousand in his Jiebei.
His thoughts were exactly what Li Luo expected.
"Are you serious? Ten times more than mine."
"That's right."
"Did everyone hear that? You won't be held responsible for this. Just help us be witnesses."
"Alright, we'll be the referees. What do you say, folks?"
"No problem. As long as it doesn't involve the police, we can witness it for you."
Seeing Li Luo bet so big, Pan Xingyue hurriedly said.
"Why are you betting on this? It has nothing to do with you."
The onlookers were unhappy now.
"What do you mean it has nothing to do with him?"
"If it has nothing to do with him, why didn't you say so earlier? Why didn't you say it sooner?"
"Exactly, why didn't you say it sooner?"
Seeing that she had almost provoked public anger.
Pan Xingyue sighed. Truly worthy of being one of China's three major intelligence organizations.
"Li Luo, you should leave first. I'll just call the police later. This bet of yours doesn't count."
Li Luo smiled.
"It's fine. I came here to buy a watch today anyway. Having someone buy one with me makes for good company. Don't you agree?"
Hearing this, Wang Biao said.
"Yes, exactly!" Just now, he was terrified that Li Luo wouldn't buy it.
He didn't expect this guy to be a poser too. You deserve to lose; that's what you get for fucking showing off.
Laugh, laugh your ass off.
You'll be crying soon enough.
"Xingyue, take him to choose first!"
"Once the bet with him is settled, it'll be our game time."
"What game time?"
Clearly, she had completely taken what Li Luo said during their meal the other day as a joke.
"I'll tell you later. Take him to choose first."
Pan Xingyue stopped trying to dissuade him, thinking that maybe Li Luo intended to fleece this guy.
Anyway, once he finishes buying, it won't matter if Li Luo goes back on his word.
Why keep your word with a scoundrel like him?
As for those onlookers outside, they were just there for the show and were completely useless.
She still turned around to give a warning.
"Sir, please think it through! Since watches are high-value items, once the purchase is finalized, we do not support returns unless there is a quality issue."
Wang Biao was about to speak when he was interrupted by the woman in front of him.
"Sir, think carefully before you answer! We've already started recording. If you go back on your word, we'll have no choice but to call the police!"
