Chapter 1154: 1240: Hard-Earned Money

Chapter 1154: Chapter 1240: Hard-Earned Money“It’s actually quite simple. Scammers these days are very skilled. They just need to download some software, and even display their number as 110 is no problem. Sir, I reckon you got scammed.”

The server was quite patient, explaining softly.

“So, what do I do now? That’s my hard-earned money in there.”

This Old Driver was almost spitting blood. Oh my God, I originally thought I was slaughtering a fat sheep, but it turns out I’m the one who got slaughtered by the sheep. What kind of messed-up situation is this? Thinking of this, a wave of anger surged in his heart.

“Call the police. Maybe you can still get it back!”

The server gently reminded him, feeling quite sympathetic for this Old Driver, thinking about how honest he seemed. Who could be so heartless to cheat him out of his money? Of course, if she knew how this Old Driver extorted Su Xuan not long ago, this pretty lady might not think the same.

“Call the police, yes, the police. I want to call the police.”

Old Driver quickly took out his phone to call the police; forty thousand isn’t a small amount. It’s enough for them to file a case.

After making the call, the police said that it’s already been too long, and it’s unlikely the bank can intercept it now. They told Old Driver to go to the police station.

As Old Driver was about to leave, however, the server stopped him.

“Sir, you haven’t paid your bill yet?”

“…” Old Driver’s heart trembled. Pay? I’m already bankrupt; how am I supposed to pay?

“Well…”

Old Driver scratched his head, looked at his few scoundrel friends, but they showed no intention of paying. Either playing with their phones or pretending to make phone calls, it really made Old Driver want to curse. Thinking, are you guys even brothers? I’m bankrupt here.

“Sir, you don’t have any money, do you?”

The server said while clapping her hands, a few security guards quickly came over. The front desk server knew that if a customer dined and dashed, she’d be responsible, she might even have to pay out of pocket, which means she’d work a month for nothing.

“No, I have money, don’t do this.”

Originally, Old Driver felt that since he was scammed, his friends should step up to help him, but didn’t expect each of them to be so unkind. This made Old Driver almost want to spit blood, and seeing this situation, if he didn’t pay, he likely wouldn’t be able to leave.

“Then pay up.”

At this moment, the front desk server’s attitude wasn’t as good as before, she could tell this Old Driver was trying to dine and dash. She even thought that their hotel should sympathize with him and waive the bill for him. The server coldly scoffed, thinking you’ve watched too much news, haven’t you? You really think there’s such a good thing?

Those news reports say something like a melon farmer goes to the city to sell watermelons, one thousand yuan gets stolen, he cries in agony, and a boss buys all his watermelons and even donates him one thousand yuan.

Reading such news fills people with positivity, but in reality, you’re overthinking it. It’s not that simple. Do you think the boss’s money comes from nowhere? Although not entirely fake, mostly they’re just acts for show.

Hotels open for profit. If they waive the bill for every customer who got scammed, wouldn’t the hotel go bankrupt?

“I, I really don’t have money now. Can I owe you and write an IOU?”

Old Driver’s heart was truly bleeding, his only savings of forty-one thousand had been scammed away by Su Xuan. Where is he supposed to get money?

“No, we don’t do credit.”

The front desk customer service said firmly, with a little disdain in her eyes, looking at Old Driver thinking if you don’t have money, why are you pretending to be a big shot? She’s even starting to suspect this guy came here planning to dine and dash in the first place.

“You…” Old Driver was almost spitting blood from anger. There were lots of people watching the drama, his face turned red, he wanted to borrow money from his so-called friends, thinking it’s not just me eating, why should I pay the whole bill?

But unfortunately, when he turned around, his so-called friends had long disappeared. Those so-called good friends were speechless seeing him pretending he could afford it when he couldn’t pay, all quietly slipped away to avoid the embarrassment. After all, it was three thousand they ate, and who would want to pay that?

So one by one, to avoid awkwardness, they had long disappeared. After leaving the place, a few said:

“Damn, if you can’t afford it, don’t pretend to be an elephant.”

“Yeah, it’s really embarrassing.”

“Just block him, we don’t need such useless brothers.”

After saying that, the group dispersed, and Old Driver, seeing none of his friends left, roared loudly.

“You’re all freaking bastards!”

He became short of breath, and in the end, he had no choice but to pawn his car, then gather money to settle the bill.

When he finally left the hotel, he roared and cursed:

“Aah, damn scammers, just you wait.”

Meanwhile, Su Xuan was overjoyed visiting his old classmate at the hospital. In fact, those four thousand yuan were transferred by him. Su Xuan had the driver scan his personal payment code and the Old Driver, not knowledgeable about transfers, got easily tricked by Su Xuan. Su Xuan even coaxed his verification code out of him, so during the second time, Su Xuan directly logged into his account and transferred all the money to his own account. But Old Driver was indeed poor, not even having forty-five thousand.

So Su Xuan simply transferred four thousand. When one hundred thousand yuan got deposited into his account, he downloaded a software to change his number to look like a bank’s number, then sent this guy a message, and he actually believed it was real. Truly speechless.

The fact is, extorting money from this guy is as good as suicide.

“Hey, what’s got you so cheerful today? Since you got here, you’ve been grinning like a fool. Did you win the lottery?” San looked at Su Xuan, curiously asking.

“Well, this feels much more fulfilling than that. By the way, how much longer until you’re discharged?” Su Xuan thought, now that Iron-blooded Director is out, maybe he should help his old classmate and let him take the Director position.

“Should be soon. You didn’t come to Chengdu just to see me, did you? Doesn’t seem like you to be so kind.”
