The two waitresses found it rather hilarious when they saw Ling Yun acting like a nouveau riche. However, the reason people came to the restaurant was to spend money, thus they obviously did not say anything and nodded their heads before leaving the room.
There were 9 people in the private room, but only four of them were boys. Among the 5 girls, apart from Zhang Ling whose looks were slightly subpar, the rest of the girls were rare beauties, each of them gorgeous, seductive and unbelievably charming!
Tang Meng took some time just now to send a text to his friend, Zhao Lei, ordering him to look after the Maserati that was parked in the school compound, in case some naughty students decided to fool around and accidentally scratch the car.
One has to admit that Tang Meng was rather careful and paid attention to details.
From the corner of his eye, Tang Meng glanced at the gorgeous woman beside him who was the most beautiful female officer of the city, Lin Menghan. He then faked a cough and said to Ling Yun, “Boss, you’ve only ordered the dishes, do you want to drink some beer?”
Ling Yun glared at him. “What beer? Today’s a good day, let’s drink some white wine!”
Previously, ever since Ling Yun drank that glass of beer as if it was some nasty medicine, he swore to himself that he would never touch another glass of beer. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Therefore, he decided to have white wine this time around.
Tang Meng chuckled before asking, “What kind of white wine do you want?”
Ling Yun snuck a glance at Li Qingchuan who was beside him before replying, “Do you really have to ask? I’ll have the best white wine of course!”
Of course, the tactful Li Qingchuan began nodding at Tang Meng as he chipped in. “Let’s order some Maotai, I’ll have a few drinks.”
Even though Li Qingchuan would smoke cigarettes in secret occasionally, he had never touched a drop of alcohol in his life. Ever since Ling Yun told him that he had completely cured him of his heart disease, he tried testing himself out by exerting himself and squatting for a very long time. To his surprise, he realized that his heart really seemed to be working perfectly fine. He was delighted with the outcome; therefore, he wanted to break some rules and have some alcohol to celebrate.
“Alright then, Maotai it is. I’ll have the waitresses bring up a few bottles.” Tang Meng nodded in agreement.
Finally, Ling Yun began to address Lin Menghan over the table. “I say, Ms. Lin, aren’t you here to record my statement? Ask me whatever you want! I’ll be having my lunch soon!”
Of course, Ling Yun intentionally addressed her as “Ms. Lin”.
Lin Menghan shot a death glare at Ling Yun before clarifying the situation. “I’ve told you not to address me as Ms. Lin!” She then looked around at the people in the private room and was rendered speechless. She thinks to herself, “How am I supposed to ask the question in front of so many people?”
Tang Meng was extremely familiar with the ways of the Public Security Bureau and understood the rationale behind Lin Menghan asking for a statement. Therefore, he took the initiative to speak to Lin Menghan. Tang Meng quickly suggested, “Officer Lin, I’m familiar with the entire incident, let me tell you instead!”
Tang Meng then began telling her about the last time they came to the Savant’s Restaurant and how Zhen Feng and Liu Xiaojun were teasing Ning Lingyu and Zhang Ling. He continued telling the story until he reached the part where Ling Yun defeated the members of the Green Dragon Gang where he tells her the important details only. However, he intentionally avoided telling her about how Ling Yun managed to make Tie Xiaohu surrender.
Tang Meng was extremely good with his words and finished the entire story within a few minutes. However, he had put all the blame on Tu Gang and the members of the Green Dragon Gang and painted a picture where everything Ling Yun did was out of self-defense.
Technically, there was no need for him to push the blame onto Tu Gang since he and the Green Dragon Gang were truly the ones at fault for the entire incident. Lin Menghan was also able to analyze the story and figure this out.
“Officer Lin, this is the entire story. I’ve told you everything, is there anything else you want to know about?” Tang Meng inquired.
Tang Meng was able to determine Lin Menghan’s ranks by looking at her shoulder sleeve insignia. Lin Menghan’s rank was Inspector 1st Class, which was only two ranks beneath his own father’s. Considering how young Lin Menghan was, he realized that Lin Menghan’s background may not be as simple as it seemed, keeping it in mind as he spoke to her politely.
Lin Menghan nodded her head, signaling that she had completely understood whatever he said. She then turned her head suddenly and glared at Ling Yun and Tie Xiaohu before asking Tang Meng, “Then what was going on with him just now? Why was he hanging on the backboard?”
As soon as these words left her mouth, the remaining four girls in the room burst into giggles as they were reminded of the embarrassing scene where Tie Xiaohu was hanging off the backboard.
Without waiting for Tang Meng’s reply, Tie Xiaohu stepped out and answered the question himself. He said, “I found that place rather cooling, so I climbed up and hung there for a while. Is that alright with you, Officer Lin?”
That was obviously a blatant lie. Who was Tie Xiaohu? After working for Brother Kun for so long fighting countless people and seeing so many bloodbaths, he has had his fair share of experiences with the police. Therefore, it was extremely common for him to lie without even batting an eyelid.
Lin Menghan had already questioned Ding Guanghui about the incident and obviously knew that Tie Xiaohu was lying through his teeth. However, since the person involved did not want to expose Ling Yun’s deeds, it would have been pointless for her to continue probing, hence she stopped asking any more questions.
Lin Menghan turned around to face Ling Yun and asked, “Ling Yun, it’s such a simple story, why couldn’t you have just told me the entire thing before? Why did you have to…”
Initially, she wanted to say “Why did you have to abduct me here?”, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not bring herself to say this in front of these people, thus the words got caught in her throat before she could even finish the sentence.
Ling Yun could not even be bothered with her before and muttered to himself, “All beauty no brains.” He then looked at Li Qingchuan and said, “I’ll say, flashy handsome guy, I just saved your life. Do you think it’s too much to ask for you to pay for this meal?”
Ling Yun had been saying that Li Qingchuan is going to treat everyone to a feast but he still has not heard a single response from Li Qingchuan. Hence, he quickly verified this before everyone began feasting on the food, just in case he had to pay for everything. That would be putting him at a huge disadvantage and was definitely not his style!
Not only was Li Qingchuan a gentleman, he was also extremely courteous. A faint smile crossed his lips as he said, “Ling Yun, according to Little Ning, you’ve apparently cured my illness completely, is that right?”
Naturally, Ling Yun nodded his head and chuckled. “Well, count your blessings. If it was anyone else, you would’ve died!”
Li Qingchuan stood up and bowed to Ling Yun. “If that’s the case, I, Li Qingchuan, owe you my life. Putting this meal aside, if my dad is to find out about this, he will definitely look for you and give you his thanks personally!”
Until now, Ling Yun still had no idea that Li Qingchuan’s father was a powerful figure in Qingshui City. However, since there were more benefits for Ling Yun to take advantage of, there was no reason for Ling Yun to reject his offer. Ling Yun then nods violently as he exclaimed, “Good!”
Only then does Li Qingchuan sit back down in his seat.
Ling Yun turned around and spoke to Ning Lingyu. “Little sister, I have a present for you, do you want it?”
He was about to give his little sister a surprise in front of everyone, thus, he asked the question to keep everyone in suspense.
Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Ning Lingyu right now as she chuckled slightly. “What is it? Of course I would want a present from my big brother!”
Ling Yun sniggered, “Your big brother got a car today, I think it’s called a Mase-something. It looks quite good, and now it’s yours!”
What?! =
Right as Ling Yun finished his sentence, a few of them stood up abruptly and gawked at Ling Yun in utter disbelief!
Especially the trio of Cao Shanshan, Zhang Ling, and Li Qingchuan!
Cao Shanshan and Zhang Ling exchanged glances that spelled out “Oh gosh, he really gave her the car!” They were all stunned by his words.
Whereas for Li Qingchuan, it had been surprise after surprise after surprise!
Tang Meng’s future brother-in-law? Ling Yun? Tang Meng’s future wife? Ning Lingyu?!
The Maserati that he was driving back actually belonged to Ling Yun? Moreover, he just got it?!
This, this is just unbelievable!= The spectators all thought to themselves.
That Maserati was worth at least 4 million yuan and he just got it, could it be possible that he did not buy it?!
Li Qingchuan finally understood why Tang Meng was so quiet on the way to school and did not dare to comment on anything. Turns out, Ling Yun was his brother-in-law!
He could not help but glare at Tang Meng fiercely, which made Tang Meng feel extremely awkward. Tang Meng then tried to lighten the mood by letting out a light chuckle.
Ning Lingyu had never envisioned a car being part of her life, thus she never ever paid attention to luxury cars. The sight of her brother being unable to pronounce the car’s brand properly made her furrow her brows as she replied, “What car is it? Ma-what?”
“Lingyu, it’s Maserati. That car is worth 4 million yuan!”
Ning Lingyu gasped, “Ah?!”
Ning Lingyu’s jaw dropped instantly and her beautiful face froze!
Due to the Guo Meimei incident, a Maserati represented some sort of goal or fantasy in the eyes of high school students, especially high school girls. Even though Ning Lingyu had never paid attention to cars, she could not have possibly not known about it, especially since her classmates never once shut up about it ever since the news came out!
Maserati? Having one to herself? 4 million?! Ning Lingyu’s heart was about to leap out of her chest!
First, an iPhone 5, followed by a nice cell phone number, and now even a Maserati!
Ning Lingyu felt as if her overwhelming blissfulness was about to overflow from her body as her ample bosom rose and fell along with her rapid breathing. She was rendered completely speechless and finally managed to speak after a long time. “But, brother, I can’t drive?” She uttered.
Seeing how surprised his sister looked, Ling Yun chuckled as he replies, “You can always learn how to drive. We’re two months away from our college entrance examinations. Once we’re done with that, I’ll accompany you to driving lessons during the summer holidays. You’ll be able to drive that Maserati once you’ve learned how to drive!”
Every girl in the room in the room had their gaze fixed on Ning Lingyu. Their gazes were filled with admiration and jealousy as they thought about how nice Ling Yun was to his little sister, to have given her such a nice car the moment he got it!
Even though Xue Meining did not have her eyes on the Maserati, she was still a little jealous of Ling Yun giving the Maserati to Ning Lingyu. She thought to herself, “You could’ve at least pretended to ask me!”
Cao Shanshan let out a gentle sigh before slumping back into her own seat without uttering a single word.
Ling Yun seemed to be overly nice to Ning Lingyu.
Zhang Ling did not even have her gaze on Li Qingchuan anymore. She looked at Ling Yun with a complex expression on her face as she thought to herself, How great would it be to have him as my brother, or even my boyfriend!=
However, the moment Cao Shanshan and Xue Meining caught her eye, her face began to darken as she plopped back into her seat silently.
Zhang Ling knew that if she was to compete with those girls, her chances would be virtually non-existent.
Soon enough, the waiters began serving up the dishes and alcohol.
The room was bustling with energy. No one realized that the bright sunny day outside the window had begun darkening. A roar of thunder could be heard coming from far away.
It looked like Ling Yun was right, it was about to rain in Qingshui City.
