The store manager, who had initially been furious, froze when a Dragon Card was thrown in his face.
A Dragon Card! Their Fang family's most distinguished guests, a VIP level. Anyone possessing a Dragon Card would be received with the highest protocol.
And this young man before him was a Dragon Card holder?
"How do you have our Fang family's Dragon Card?" the store manager exclaimed. He was a direct descendant of the Fang family, Fang Ming's son, Fang Chuwen. How could he not know about the Dragon Card? He could tell its authenticity with just a touch.
"What, a Dragon Card?!"
"He actually has a Dragon Card."
"I heard that in the entire capital, fewer than ten people can possess a Dragon Card."
"No wonder he's so arrogant; he has a trump card after all."
"If he truly has a Dragon Card, then things might be different."
"..."
Many people were startled by the Dragon Card. If Li Se really had one, he wouldn't need a reservation and could dine at the Sky Garden's aerial restaurant for free.
No wonder he had said that membership was nothing; it turned out to be the Dragon Card status. Compared to the Dragon Card, membership was indeed insignificant.
"He has a Dragon Card?" Zheng Chu was stunned and quickly asked, "Chuwen, could it be fake?"
Fang Chuwen shook his head and said, "It's impossible for it to be fake. I'm very familiar with our family's Dragon Card. This Dragon Card is absolutely genuine!"
He couldn't recall anyone named Li Se, so how could he have a Dragon Card? He couldn't understand, truly couldn't understand. After all, only a handful of people in the entire capital possessed Dragon Cards, and he knew most of them.
"Could he have stolen it from somewhere?" Zheng Chu wondered.
As soon as these words were spoken, Fang Chuwen seemed to have been enlightened. He suddenly looked at Li Se and said coldly, "You brat, how dare you steal a Dragon Card? I was wondering why I didn't recognize you. I know most of the Dragon Cards my family has issued. No wonder I don't recognize you; it turns out you stole the Dragon Card. You've got guts! Do you know what a Dragon Card signifies? Ten lives wouldn't be enough for you to bear the consequences!"
As Fang Chuwen finished speaking, many people suddenly understood. So, the Dragon Card was stolen. This kid was truly audacious to even dare steal a Dragon Card. No one doubted Fang Chuwen's words, as he was from the Fang family themselves. How could he not know about the few Dragon Cards issued?
"He dared to steal a card; his hands should be chopped off."
"You scared me; I actually thought he was a Dragon Card owner."
"Only a few people have Dragon Cards; how dare he plot to steal one? Or does he think that once stolen, the Dragon Card becomes his?"
"I don't know how long he stole the Dragon Card for; the losses are quite severe."
"..."
Everyone began to point fingers at Li Se.
"This Dragon Card was given to me by your father. If you don't believe me, you can call your father and ask," Li Se said, frowning.
"Heh, do you even know who my father is?" Fang Chuwen sneered.
"Isn't he Mr. Fang Ming?" Li Se said calmly.
"Since that's the case, I'll grant your wish then. Stealing a Dragon Card is a very serious offense!" Fang Chuwen didn't hesitate at all and immediately called his father, explaining the situation of the stolen Dragon Card.
"What? Someone dares to steal a Dragon Card? I'll be there immediately!" Fang Ming's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. A Dragon Card allowed free consumption at all Fang family's industries. Once stolen, the losses would be immense, and this matter had to be treated with utmost seriousness!
After hanging up the phone, Fang Chuwen said with a cold smile, "My father will be here soon. He takes matters like stealing Dragon Cards very seriously. This kid will likely be in jail for the rest of his life."
"Kid, now you know the consequences of offending us, right? If you had honestly knelt down earlier and apologized to my dog, nothing would have happened. Now, with all this commotion, you might spend the rest of your life in jail," Liu Tingting said gleefully.
Zheng Chu chuckled, "Even if you kneel and apologize now, it's useless. But you can kneel down first, and perhaps you'll receive a lighter sentence."
"Are you finished talking?" Li Se looked at them.
"What, you seem unconvinced?" Liu Tingting said dismissively.
"Just wait until you have to kneel and call me dad," Li Se said contemptuously.
Liu Tingting didn't get angry. "You can only be smug at this moment. I'll see how smug you are later."
"Kid, daring to steal a Dragon Card is a very serious matter. Once Mr. Fang arrives, you'll have hell to pay," the security guard said grimly.
"He's such an idiot. Stealing a membership card would be better than stealing a Dragon Card. After all, there are many people with membership cards, but only a few with Dragon Cards. Anyone can see it's stolen at a glance," Liu Tingting shook her head, thinking Li Se was too foolish.
"That's not necessarily true. I remember Dragon Cards can be used for free consumption. This kid probably stole the Dragon Card and consumed quite a bit, right? That's what happens when you're broke!" Zheng Chu's words were filled with mockery.
Li Se didn't say anything. There was no need to argue with these people. Once Fang Ming arrived, it would be clear who the clown was.
Fang Ming arrived quickly, as his residence was not far from here.
"Mr. Fang is here!"
"Daring to steal a Dragon Card, if Mr. Fang gets angry, jail time would be considered light."
"Furthermore, stealing a Dragon Card doesn't just offend Mr. Fang, but also the Dragon Card holder!"
"..."
Everyone's spirits were lifted, eagerly awaiting Li Se's fate.
"Mr. Fang!" Zheng Chu and Liu Tingting called out respectfully.
"Dad, there's a kid who doesn't know his place and actually dared to steal our Dragon Card!" Fang Chuwen quickly exclaimed.
"Daring to steal a Dragon Card, what audacity!" Fang Ming said with a stern face. He truly didn't expect anyone to dare steal a Dragon Card; he was furious.
Seeing Fang Ming's expression, everyone knew he was genuinely angry, and the consequences would be severe.
Fang Chuwen looked at Li Se with utter disdain, "Kid, my dad is here now. Are you going to say again that my dad gave you the Dragon Card? What, you can't say it anymore? Still dare to ask me to prepare an aerial restaurant for you? Still dare to hit my security guards? Still dare to hit Young Master Zheng? Huh? What, you're not talking anymore? Mute? Speak up!"
Everyone wore a look of schadenfreude. Weren't you quite brave just now? Why did you go limp the moment Mr. Fang arrived? They all sneered.
"Dad, it's this kid who stole the Dragon Card!" Fang Chuwen pointed at Li Se and said arrogantly.
Fang Ming frowned, his face darkening as he looked towards Li Se. However, upon seeing the person's appearance clearly, he was greatly shocked.
Damn it, isn't this the little miracle doctor who saved my life earlier?
