"Weren't you the one trying to look rich when you're not?"
Before Ma Biao could react, Su Yang continued, "Oh, I forgot. You're already fat, so you don't need to pretend to be one!"
— *Pfft!*
Amy, standing beside them, couldn't help but laugh. Her dimples became even more charming as she giggled, her ample chest jiggling.
Ma Biao recovered and instantly became furious. "You little brat, stop with the smart mouth. You pay first, then you eat. Otherwise, get out!"
"Alright, alright, this young master isn't short of a few bucks!"
Su Yang's stomach was empty, and he was starving.
He casually took out a bank card and handed it to Amy.
Amy took the card reader. When she saw the balance on the card, her eyes widened, and her mouth dropped open.
"This, so much money?"
Seeing this.
Ma Biao was also curious. He took the card reader and looked. His eyes bulged like a bull's.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, my dear father, grandfather, ancestors, oh my god..."
Ma Biao's legs went weak. The bank card Su Yang casually took out had over a hundred billion in it.
Forget buying steak and wine; he could easily buy the entire Western restaurant, no, the entire cruise ship.
Ma Biao panicked. The person he had casually tried to suppress was actually a billionaire.
"Sir, I'm so sorry. It was all my fault just now. Please forgive my ignorance!"
Su Yang knew very well that Ma Biao was trying to impress Amy and was deliberately causing trouble.
However, Su Yang was very hungry now and had no intention of playing along with Ma Biao.
"Hurry up and swipe the card and bring me something to eat. What are you dawdling for?"
Seeing Su Yang's impatient look, Ma Biao quickly nodded.
"This meal is on me. I'll arrange it right away!"
Ma Biao pulled Amy along. "Amy, remember to take good care of this gentleman, understand?"
Amy nodded blankly, still reeling from the sheer number of zeros.
The people around them whispered, also surprised that Su Yang, dressed ordinarily and a tourist in economy class, was actually a billionaire.
"Are billionaires this low-key these days?"
"How did he make so much money at such a young age?"
"Maybe he's the young master of some prominent family, here for a vacation, and didn't even bring bodyguards."
Amy secretly glanced at Su Yang, who was playing on his phone. She wondered why such a young and wealthy man was staying in economy class.
Was he deliberately playing the wolf in sheep's clothing? Or was he fishing for something?
Amy softly asked, "Sir, may I know your surname?"
"Su Yang."
Amy repeated it a few times, then was shocked.
"You're Su Yang from Songhai? The newly emerged billionaire, the Deputy Director of the Security Bureau?"
"That was in the past. I'm a citizen like you now."
Su Yang appeared nonchalant, but Amy's heart was in turmoil.
More than anything, she was surprised.
"Um, Mr. Su, I'm a fan! Could I have your autograph?"
Su Yang was astonished. "Fan? What kind of fan?"
"Of course, for the poems and songs you wrote! I've heard them before, but unfortunately, I've never met you in person!"
Amy said excitedly, then spoke about the lyrics of "Blue and White Porcelain," how gentle and elegant, how ancient and artistic they were.
"Mr. Su, you wrote the song 'Si Linglong' for Miss Duan. Did you end up together?"
Su Yang nodded, acknowledging her question.
Su Yang himself hadn't expected that outside of Songhai, someone would recognize him and even be a fan.
Amy clapped her hands. "That's great! I envy Miss Duan so much, having a man write poems and compose songs for her."
"Amy, didn't you want an autograph? Where should I write it?"
Amy fumbled around and finally took out a clean white handkerchief from her chest pocket.
"Is this handkerchief okay?"
"Yes!"
Su Yang took the handkerchief. It was soft and had a faint fragrance, the same as Amy's scent.
Su Yang quickly wrote his name and handed it to the blushing Amy.
Amy shyly said, "Mr. Su, I was just too excited just now, which is why I asked for your autograph. I hope you don't mind."
"It's a small matter." Su Yang rubbed his stomach again. "Go and see if the steak and snacks are ready, and tell them to hurry up."
"Oh, okay, I'll go right away."
Amy hurried to the kitchen and found that Ma Biao wasn't there at all.
The chefs were all chatting and playing cards.
Amy was stunned. "What are you doing? Didn't the guest place an order? Why aren't you grilling steak?"
"You'll have to ask Manager Ma about that. We're just following orders."
The chefs continued playing cards without looking up.
Amy was helpless. After looking around the kitchen and not seeing Ma Biao.
Thinking of her idol being hungry, she ignored the other guests and searched all over the Western restaurant for him.
After a while.
Amy arrived outside the lounge and found Ma Biao chatting with several senior executives of the cruise ship.
"Ma Biao, are you sure that kid is a billionaire?"
"Yes, I saw with my own eyes that the balance on his card was over a hundred billion, and he has more than one bank card."
"This is a fat pig! Carrying so much money without bodyguards. What do you guys think?"
Inside the room, after a brief silence, came the sound of tables being slapped.
"Damn it! We've been on this ship for years, and our monthly pay isn't even enough to hire a few girls. This kid is a billionaire. Let's pull off a big score, and we won't have to stay on this boat anymore."
"But have you investigated the kid's identity?"
"Who cares who he is? Once we're on the ship, are we afraid of his identity?"
"That's right. The five of us, plus Ma Biao, will each get at least tens of billions after this. We'll go and enjoy ourselves after getting the money. Who cares who that kid is."
"Then it's decided. I'll arrange for the chefs to get to work right away. We'll add something strong, and he'll disappear without anyone noticing."
Outside the door, Amy heard this and her heart sank. Ma Biao and the others dared to attack Su Yang. Wasn't that courting death?
On impulse, Amy pushed the door open.
"Manager Ma, you can't do this! Do you know who he is?"
Ma Biao and the other six were stunned. They hadn't expected Amy to come looking for them in such a secluded place.
And to overhear their conversation.
"Manager Ma, this must not get out. You know what to do, right?"
The five middle-aged men stood up, looking coldly at Amy.
Ma Biao took a deep breath. "I understand."
Compared to the temptation of billions, he didn't care about Amy's life at all.
"Very good. We'll make our move in half an hour. I hope you'll be quick."
After the five men left, Ma Biao slowly stood up.
Amy had no defenses. She was only thinking about her idol going hungry.
"Manager Ma, the guest has already paid. Why haven't you arranged the order yet?"
"Don't worry, I'll place the order right now!"
Ma Biao casually picked up a rope and, before Amy could react, quickly tied her hands.
Amy looked at Ma Biao in disbelief. "Manager Ma, what do you mean by this?"
"What do I mean? Of course, it's to silence you, you stupid woman!"
Ma Biao hadn't expected to subdue Amy so easily. However, he didn't act immediately. Instead, he leered at Amy's graceful figure with ill intent.
"This petite body is too good to waste without playing with it. Amy, before you die, Brother Ma will let you experience the joy of being a woman!"
With that, Ma Biao quickly took off his pants.
Amy suddenly realized that Ma Biao was going to force himself on her. "Manager Ma, you can't do this..."
