Chapter 8 — 118,800 Yuan Meal: 10 People Ran, I Called the Police

"What if we've known each other for so many years? Did you think about that when you ran away?"

“I'm really unwell!”

"If you're unwell, eat three king crab legs. If you're unwell, drink half a bottle of sake?"

Liu Thien was blocked by me and couldn't say a word. The police continued, their voice still calm but carrying obvious pressure.

"If you can't handle it now, we will ask you to come to the station to coordinate the investigation. This amount of money is enough to handle criminal proceedings."

Luu Thien immediately reacted, her voice rising in panic.

“What crime, who are you threatening?”

The police did not change their tune.

"We do not threaten, according to regulations, for the purpose of appropriating property, the amount of more than 110,000 yuan has met the criteria for making a case. If you do not cooperate, we can summon you according to the law."

The other end of the line was silent for a long time. Then I heard her voice soften.

“So… I asked my husband to come over.”

The call ended. The police moved on to the next person, this time it was Trieu Vu, Vuong Dao's boyfriend. As soon as the phone was connected, the voice on the other end was full of annoyance.

“Hello, are you Trieu Vu? We are the police.”

"Police? Why are you looking for me?"

“May I ask, will you dine at a Japanese restaurant tonight?”

Trieu Vu stopped for a second, his voice still trying to sound normal.

“After eating, what then?”

“After eating, you left without paying. Now your friend has reported to the police. The total bill is 118,800 yuan, you need to pay your share.”

Trieu Vu immediately exploded.

“Why do I have to pay, I didn't order anything, it was just the other girls who called, so go find her when my girlfriend called!”

I spoke up, my voice not high but enough to make him choke.

“Trieu Vu, you alone ate three king crab legs, I counted them clearly.”

The other side was silent for a second.

“Who are you?”

“Li Thien Thien.”

“Ah, it's you, I said, it's not good for you to do that, eat a meal and still call the police?”

I laughed coldly.

“You said AA but everyone ran away, you're still telling me it's not good?”

Trieu Vu still tried to argue.

"I didn't order food, it was all Vuong Dao who ordered, if you want money, find her."

I didn't give him a chance to back down.

"You don't eat, don't drink, you drank three glasses of that bottle of sake, each glass cost more than 1,000 yuan, and now you say you have nothing to do with it?"

Trieu Vu was stopped by me and remained silent for a few seconds. The police continued, their voice clearly tougher.

"Mr. Trieu, no matter who orders, if you participate in the meal, you must bear the corresponding cost. If there is a dispute, you can negotiate with others, but you cannot leave the entire cost to Ms. Ly alone."

Trieu Vu is still stubborn.

“I won't pay, I'm not the organizer.”

The police tone immediately changed.

"Mr. Trieu, I repeat, the amount of more than 110,000 yuan has met the standards of criminal prosecution. If you do not cooperate, we will handle it according to regulations."

Trieu Vu's voice immediately became smaller, clearly starting to get scared.

“Criminal, don't scare me.”

“We don't threaten you, you consider it yourself.”

The other end of the line was silent. The police said one more sentence, very softly but extremely powerful.

“If you can come to the scene, come immediately. If not, we will find you directly.”

Trieu Vu immediately changed his tone.

“Okay, okay, I'll come over, it's okay if I come over.”

The call ended. The police continued to call a fourth person, this time it was Ly Hao, Trieu Tieu Manh's boyfriend. Phone As soon as he connected, his voice was very low, as if he was trying to avoid someone.

“Hello, are you Ly Hao?”

“You had a meal at a Japanese restaurant tonight and then left without paying, right?”

Ly Hao's voice became smaller and smaller, the reason was so familiar it was funny.

“Actually… we didn't eat much, why bother with AA, I only ate some sushi, drank a glass of beer, the other girls ordered all the expensive dishes.”

I won't let him act anymore.

“Ly Hao, you alone ate six pieces of sea urchin, two pieces of wagyu, three king crab legs, and even a bowl of truffle rice. You said you didn't eat much?”

The other end of the line immediately panicked.

"Thien Thien? Why are you..."

"Why should I call the police? You guys are all running away. What should I do if I don't report it?"

Ly Hao was confused, his voice began to reveal weakness.

“No… Tieu Manh said you would pay…”

I laughed coldly.

“When did I say I would pay?”

He fell silent. There are no more words to justify. The police continued, their tone completely changed to handling the case.

“If you feel it is unfair, you can come directly to exchange, but you cannot leave without paying, this behavior is against the law.”

“I'm not saying don't pay, I just think it's unfair.”

“You can say it's unfair, but don't leave it. Can you go to the scene now?”

“…Okay, I'll pass.”

The call ended. The police looked at me.

“How many more people are there?”

“In total, there are Tran Vu Dong and Ton Bang, Liu Qian's husband Tran Loi, Vuong Dao and Trieu Tieu Manh.”

The police nodded.

“Call each person.”
