She was the manager of this restaurant.
And a small shareholder of the restaurant.
She hadn't planned to come today, as there weren't many customers and nothing was expected to happen.
Who knew, just as she was preparing to go to the hot springs.
She received news that people from the Jin family in Yunhai City were being difficult at the restaurant!
Now, this was a problem.
Manager Ban abandoned her hot spring plans and rushed over in a frenzy.
To others, this restaurant might seem like a high-end establishment with hefty prices.
But in reality,
compared to truly wealthy individuals, it was merely a diner inferior to a canteen!
Moreover, the Jin family was a first-tier family.
A family that Manager Ban absolutely could not afford to offend!
All the way, Manager Ban urged the driver to speed.
While anxiously assessing the situation, she cursed those women who were causing trouble.
They truly had no foresight!
Who else could they have offended but a major figure!
Jin Shenghuo tugged at the corner of his mouth, then pointed at Sister Ying and the others, and said, "No need to apologize. You've arrived just in time."
"These women insist that I and my friends molested them. I wonder if Manager Ban can help us retrieve the surveillance footage?"
As far as he remembered,
apart from the moment Da Xiong grabbed the backpack earlier.
At all other times, the four of them had kept a considerable distance from these women!
There had been no physical contact whatsoever, so how could there be molestation?
Sister Ying's seemingly flawless lie could be exposed with just one look at the surveillance footage!
Manager Ban naturally complied with Jin Shenghuo's request: "Of course. Does Young Master Jin wish to have it played now, or after the police arrive?"
Jin Shenghuo said lazily, "Let's wait for the police."
Otherwise, playing it now would only serve as entertainment for the onlookers, with little other use!
Manager Ban bowed apologetically to Jin Shenghuo, respectfully saying, "Young Master Jin, I apologize for your unpleasant experience."
This time, Jin Shenghuo remained silent.
But Sister Ying, who was listening to the conversation between Jin Shenghuo and Manager Ban.
Even if she were the most foolish, she would understand!
Her face turned ashen, her body froze in fear, and she held her breath.
Her mind raced frantically, trying to devise a plan!
She had originally thought.
That Jin Shenghuo was merely a bit wealthy.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be dining at this restaurant.
This restaurant had high prices and strong backing.
Therefore, it generally ignored ordinary wealthy individuals.
So Sister Ying believed that she only needed to concoct a story and convince others and the police to convict Jin Shenghuo.
Who knew...
That the manager of this restaurant was so respectful to Jin Shenghuo!
And was even willing to provide surveillance footage to prove Jin Shenghuo's innocence!
Could it be.
That Jin Shenghuo's identity was even higher than she had imagined?
The thought sent a shiver down her spine.
What troubled Sister Ying the most was.
What would she do when the police arrived later?
After all, the police did not handle cases involving economic compensation.
If she wanted Jin Shenghuo to pay, she would have to go to court.
If this bag were her own, she wouldn't mind going through legal proceedings.
It would just take some time.
The problem was, the bag was borrowed!
And it was borrowed from a young lady from a collateral branch of the Zhu family in Jiangnan City.
Sister Ying had initially presented herself as a wealthy young lady to successfully infiltrate the circle of these second-generation elites.
She had been considered a friend by a collateral branch of the Zhu family.
If the bag were damaged, and she couldn't repay the money immediately.
Wouldn't her true identity be exposed?
At that point.
All the wealthy young ladies and second-generation elites in Jiangnan City would know that she, Sister Ying, was not a rich young lady at all.
But merely a gold digger who relied on pretense!
Thinking of this, Sister Ying broke out in a sweat.
She already regretted it.
Why hadn't she agreed when Jin Shenghuo offered to pay twenty to thirty thousand for a cleaning fee?
Even after the bag was damaged, Jin Shenghuo had still agreed to compensate one million.
Now.
This money could only be recovered through legal proceedings.
And her identity would be exposed!
As Sister Ying was anxiously like an ant on a hot pan.
She suddenly noticed Jin Shenghuo's gaze fall upon her.
Her eyes lit up instantly!
Sister Ying had been active in the second-generation circle for some time.
She was confident in her looks and figure.
So at this moment, she unhesitatingly believed that Jin Shenghuo must be interested in her!
Sister Ying secretly bolstered her courage, then walked up to Jin Shenghuo.
She opened her mouth and said.
"Young Master Jin, I didn't expect you to be a regular here!"
"Oh dear, I was too hasty earlier, which caused all this trouble. I'm truly sorry."
Jin Shenghuo raised an eyebrow: "And so?"
"If this escalates, it will be embarrassing for everyone."
"How about this, the bag is only worth about a million. Let's settle it privately. I'll explain everything when the police arrive."
"We're all in the same circle, we'll run into each other again..."
Sister Ying flashed what she considered her most beautiful smile.
This smile was one she had practiced for a long time in that cramped, airless basement.
It was meant to appear friendly yet alluring!
Generally, when she displayed this smile, men would fall under her charm!
Jin Shenghuo said with amusement: "That's true."
Jin Shenghuo's agreement instilled more confidence in Sister Ying!
She subtly glanced at Jin Shenghuo's watch, and her thoughts shifted again.
If she could get involved with Jin Shenghuo.
Would she still need to worry about this million?
Then, when she dined at this restaurant, Manager Ban would have to treat her with utmost respect!
With this thought, Sister Ying smiled: "Then let's settle it privately. I'll inform the police now."
Saying this, Sister Ying was about to call the police to withdraw the report.
Unexpectedly, Jin Shenghuo stopped her.
He glanced at Sister Ying mockingly, like a cold wind sweeping past: "No need. I've thought about it, and it's better to let the police handle it."
Sister Ying, uncharacteristically tongue-tied, looked at Jin Shenghuo as if she had seen a live dinosaur.
She immediately asked: "Young Master Jin, why?"
"Because I'm not part of your 'chicken circle'," Jin Shenghuo said with a fake smile.
Didn't Sister Ying just say they were all in the same circle, and would run into each other again?
Unfortunately.
Jin Shenghuo was not a gold digger like them, so what circle could they possibly share?
It was better to let the police resolve this.
Otherwise, if word got out that the heir of the Yunhai Jin family had molested a gold digger with a face full of "tech and ruthless crafting."
What would happen to his reputation?
Even if Jin Shenghuo didn't care about his reputation, his elders would!
Moreover, there was Yun Yanlan above him!
Thinking of this, Jin Shenghuo's eyes flickered. He took a step back in disgust, increasing the distance between himself and Sister Ying.
His attitude was very clear.
He found her dirty!
Sister Ying's smile froze on her face, like a frozen dumpling, unmoving.
It took her a long time to recover!
