Sun Sihai and Zhao Yuan had a familiar relationship.
Previously, Sun Sihai often brought his subordinates to support Zhao Yuan.
Therefore, the duty managers at the Zhao family's nightclubs all recognized Sun Sihai and his henchmen.
Seeing them arrive in a large group, the duty managers were delighted and greeted them warmly.
However.
When those people finished their consumption and left without settling the bill, the duty managers were stunned!
What's going on?
Are you trying to get something for free?
They would definitely not agree to ordinary people trying to freeload, but these were Sun Sihai's subordinates.
The duty managers did not dare to say much. After they left, one duty manager called Zhao Yuan: "Young Master, there's something I need to report to you. Sun Ye's subordinate Wang Ning brought a large group of people to our nightclub and incurred a bill of 180,000, then left without paying. How should we handle this bill?"
Zhao Yuan frowned. Sun Sihai's people often patronized the Zhao family's venues, but never like this before.
Considering his relationship with Sun Sihai, he said, "It's fine, just put this bill on my tab for now."
A mere 180,000 was not enough for him to demand payment from Sun Sihai.
After all, several of the Zhao family's nightclubs in the South City district were protected by Sun Sihai.
As soon as he hung up, Zhao Yuan received another call. After hearing the contents, his brow furrowed: "What? Sun Sihai's subordinate went to the foot massage parlor and spent eighty thousand, then left without paying?"
At this moment, Zhao Yuan felt that something was not right.
Then, he received more than ten more calls.
These calls were from the duty managers of those nightclubs. Including the previous two calls, he had received fifteen calls in total.
Without exception, Sun Sihai's people had patronized all of the Zhao family's establishments.
The total consumption amounted to over 2.3 million.
Yet, not a single cent was paid!
"What the hell does this bastard mean?"
Zhao Yuan was furious.
He felt like Sun Sihai was declaring war on him!
Just as he picked up his phone, ready to call Sun Sihai, Sun Sihai called him.
"Could it be that he's here to apologize and pay those expenses?"
Zhao Yuan's anger subsided somewhat.
As the saying goes, one cannot control oneself in the martial world, and he could understand that.
Without further thought, he pressed the answer button and said with a smile, "Brother Si, you're still up so late!"
Sun Sihai laughed heartily, "The nightlife has just begun. Isn't Young Master Zhao also still awake?"
Zhao Yuan sighed, "I wish I could rest, but I'm busy with official duties. It's not as carefree as Brother Si."
"Alright, alright, no more joking," Sun Sihai said, "My brother Lu Jian was released from prison today, and as an elder brother, I'm happy about it. I let my subordinates have some fun. I heard they spent a lot of money at your Zhao family's venues. Have someone tally it up, and I'll transfer the money to you!"
Zhao Yuan was relieved. He knew that Sun Sihai's current status was all thanks to Lu Jian. He then smiled and said, "Brother Jian's release should indeed be celebrated. Forget about today's expenses; consider it my treat to welcome Brother Jian!"
"Is this what people on the internet say, 'All expenses tonight are covered by Young Master Zhao'?" Sun Sihai let out a booming laugh. "Since Young Master Zhao thinks highly of my brother, I'll thank Young Zhao on behalf of Lu Jian for the hospitality!"
???
This completely baffled Zhao Yuan.
Damn it!
That was over 2.3 million!
Didn't you hear that I was just being polite?
Do you have any shame?
Even though he was angry, what could Zhao Yuan say?
Sun Sihai had already said the words "All expenses tonight are covered by Young Master Zhao," so he couldn't possibly say it was just a polite gesture, could he?
If he really said that, where would he save face?
Of course.
Even though he spent over 2.3 million, would Lu Jian owe him a favor if he knew that all expenses tonight were on his tab?
The favor of a second-rate expert was far more valuable than 2.3 million!
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yuan's expression turned ferocious.
Although he felt that he had spent over 2.3 million to gain Lu Jian's favor, he somehow felt that Sun Sihai was acting unusually strange tonight.
As for the exact reason, he had no idea.
Just as Zhao Yuan was feeling agitated, he received a call from Ma Dalong, the duty manager of the bathhouse.
"Young Master, it's bad, Young Master! Our bathhouse has been sealed off by the enforcement team."
As soon as the call connected, a hurried voice rang out.
Zhao Yuan's face changed drastically: "Why was it sealed off?"
Ma Dalong said anxiously, "The enforcement team said they received a report from a concerned citizen claiming that our bathhouse had engaged in prostitution and soliciting. They have already apprehended several customers."
Zhao Yuan's face contorted with rage: "Weren't Sun Sihai's people booked out of the bathhouse before? How could someone report it..."
At this point, his expression suddenly froze.
Did Sun Sihai report it?
Besides him, was there anyone else?
Afterward, Zhao Yuan received calls from fourteen other duty managers.
Except for two legitimate KTVs that were sealed off by the fire department for failing to meet fire safety standards, all other establishments were sealed off for prostitution and soliciting, with conclusive evidence.
"Sun Sihai, you son of a bitch!"
Zhao Yuan's eyes blazed with fury, like a rampaging lion!
He never dreamed that after he waived Sun Sihai's bill of over 2.3 million, not only was he ungrateful, but he also turned around and bit him!
Without further thought, he immediately dialed Sun Sihai's number. When the call connected, his voice was chilling as he questioned, "Sun Sihai, did you report our Zhao family's establishments?"
Sun Sihai pondered for a moment, then asked awkwardly, "Was I that obvious?"
Zhao Yuan's eyes bulged with rage, and he cursed, "Damn it, why? I, Zhao Yuan, treated you well. Why the hell are you screwing me over? Has a dog eaten your conscience?"
"Your shouting sounds more like barking!" Sun Sihai laughed heartily.
Setting aside the fact that he was acting under Chen Nan's orders to suppress the Zhao family, Lu Jian's existence alone was enough for him to fear no one against Zhao Yuan.
"We are clearly brothers, why are you doing this?" Zhao Yuan clenched his fists, his face full of unwillingness.
Sun Sihai said slowly, "It's nothing much. It's just because you offended Mr. Chen Nan."
Zhao Yuan was shocked, seemingly not expecting that all of this was because of Chen Nan: "You're screwing me over because of Chen Nan? Have you forgotten that he wanted to get involved with your ex-wife?"
"Shut up!" Sun Sihai was furious. "It is my honor, Sun Sihai, that Mr. Chen desires my ex-wife. Don't try to sow discord here."
"Also, Mr. Chen is my brother Lu Jian's benefactor. Since you are Mr. Chen's enemy, you are also my enemy, Sun Sihai."
"I'm telling you right now, as long as I, Sun Sihai, am here, your Zhao family's establishments will never be able to operate!"
Zhao Yuan, enraged, smashed his phone.
He had originally intended to let this mad dog, Sun Sihai, tear Chen Nan apart.
But who would have thought that this mad dog would turn around and bite him fiercely?!!!
