The Tables Turned

"What are you saying? What does this have to do with me? I'm a victim too, don't try to pin it on me! I'm not paying for your food and drinks. Everyone had a share, why should I pay for everything? Are you dreaming?" Liu Yunzhi shouted at the crowd.

This also made it clear to everyone that even if she were to contribute, she would only contribute her own share, with the rest split equally.

This was something everyone had agreed upon, and no one had any objections.

But now things are different; it's completely beyond everyone's expectations and capabilities.

Moreover, the amount is so outrageous that not all students, at least most of them, can afford it all at once.

So when Liu Yunzhi said this, he immediately angered several bewildered classmates, who rushed up and kicked him.

Then, several classmates surrounded Liu Yunzhi and beat him up. He screamed in pain, his face was bruised and swollen, and he even lost several teeth.

He touched his nose; his hand was covered in blood.

He panicked.

Clearly, the loss of control by the crowd was the beginning of his suffering.

Finally, several female classmates rushed up and started tearing at Liu Yunzhi, ripping his clothes and pants to shreds and leaving him with many bruises on his face.

That's really tragic.

Ye Fan remained calm and didn't rush forward to fight like the other students. Perhaps it was just his personality, or perhaps he wasn't short of money and didn't bring out his ruthlessness.

Once forced out, the terror is immense, even more terrifying than these people.

This is not speculation.

But it's the truth. -Man~'¨¯¨'·Dance~ ~Dance'¨¯¨'·~Man-

However, Lin Jia's complexion wasn't much better at this moment.

Although she didn't confront Liu Yunzhi like the other classmates, she was also worried because she couldn't come up with tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan.

To improve her social standing, she spends all her salary on luxury goods and dressing herself up, going to beauty salons several times a month. It's already quite remarkable that she doesn't spend money in advance. Where would she get tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan in cash? Unless she relies on her family, but her family would have to be wealthy too.

However, people don't know much about her family situation.

As for Liu Yiyi, she had already huddled alone in a corner. Her marriage was unhappy, and her husband treated her badly and looked down on her. Although her husband was rich, she might not dare to ask him for money because she was a victim of domestic violence. If people knew that she had spent tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan on a meal with her classmates, one can imagine what her life at home would be like, and she would suffer even more unimaginable consequences.

Qian Ye grabbed a chair and sat down to the side, becoming a bystander.

He orchestrated this farce to punish the smug Liu Yunzhi, and naturally, he had a way to clean up the mess.

Ye Fan glanced at Qian Ye and saw him sitting there as if nothing had happened, completely different from the others. He became curious and, thinking of something, walked over.

She pulled up a chair and sat down next to him. "Aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?" Qian Ye asked with a smile.

Ye Fan took out a pack of cigarettes, handed one to him, lit it for him, then lit one for himself, exhaled a smoke ring, and said, "Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands per person, aren't you in a hurry?"

"What does it have to do with me? I'm just a freeloader. What about you? You look very leisurely and contented. Why don't you go up and tear Liu Yunzhi apart like other classmates?" Qianye blew out a smoke ring and teased Ye Fan.

Ye Fan smiled without saying a word.

Qian Ye: "That makes sense. Most of them came by taxi or borrowed a car. Only you and Liu Yunzhi already own cars, and they're even high-end imported ones. Especially you, who drives Mercedes-Benz, you shouldn't be short of money."

"Even if you don't have money, you can exchange it for a car and you won't have to worry. Or, if we really have to split it later, how about you offset mine too? I'm your cousin, and you brought me here, so I have to take care of things."

Ye Fan smiled wryly, thinking to himself, "I don't even know if he's my cousin, and even if he is, I don't know which generation he's from: 'It's not as exaggerated as you say. I've just made a little money, just enough to buy a car. I can't compare to Liu Yunzhi, the big boss who owns his own company.'"

"That's not necessarily true. His company is newly established and just starting out. How much money could he possibly have? He's probably just putting on a show in front of you to get a sense of importance. It's useless. Look at how badly he got beaten up. If he had money, he wouldn't put up with this kind of treatment."

"That's still better than us. At least once you get through the first few years of starting a company, you'll be rolling in money!"

"Oh, it's also possible to lose everything, right?"

"I don't deny that, but I think it's unlikely."

"So you're still the best off, earning money and having no pressure."

"It's not that good. Working is a job that only lasts a short time; it's just about making a living!" Ye Fan said with a wry smile.

I feel like there's something off about the person in front of me, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

He thought to himself, "He first showed up in my car, then drove his own car, and then we came to the class reunion together. It doesn't seem like a coincidence, but rather that he came prepared."

As for his distant cousin, that's highly unlikely, and even if he were, it would be rather far-fetched.

They're all relatives I don't know well; it's impossible for them to be so naturally familiar with me the moment they meet, unless he's an expert in this area.

There's just one thing: he knows his parents and their siblings better than he does himself, as if he's done a thorough investigation.

Thump~

Suddenly, the door to the private room opened from the outside, and a dozen or so men in black walked in.

One of them, the waiter who had just settled the bill, walked up to the group and said, "Would you like to pay the bill?"

"..." The group Mianmian, unsure of what to do; they had no money.

Looking at the dozen or so tall, strong, muscular, and fierce men in black, none of them dared to utter a sound.

Several female students were whimpering and crying.

"Then let's go to our conference room and have a proper talk," the waitress said, giving a wink to the burly man beside her.

The burly man immediately swept his gaze across the crowd and said menacingly, "Damn it... what? You want me to tie you up and have my brothers carry you away?"

As soon as he said this, a dozen or so burly men in black surrounded the crowd.

Everyone looked like wilted eggplants and had no choice but to follow the waiter outside.

Qian Ye and Ye Fan got up and walked towards the door.

Then, the group of about twenty people entered a large conference room.

Qian Ye glanced around and saw a Tian Tian -bellied middle-aged man already seated at the head of the table, his face full of menace as he looked at the people who came in, a large cigar between his fingers.

He took a drag and exhaled a large ring of smoke.

After the dozen or so men in black entered, they closed the door and blocked the entrance.

Only then did the manager raise his head and look at Liu Yunzhi and the others. "Don't stand there, come and sit down."

Everyone: "..."

No one stepped forward.

I'm a little afraid of him.

While others feared him, Qian Ye was not. He was the first to step forward and sit down directly below.

The manager glanced at Qian Ye, seemingly lost in thought, then glared at the crowd. "What, are you not giving me, Huang, any face?"

Upon hearing this, everyone hesitated for a moment, but still went over and sat down around the table.

Seeing that everyone was seated, the pot-bellied manager chuckled and said, "I heard from my employees that you're planning to dine and dash? Is that true?"

"If yes, please answer me. If no, please pay the bill. Whether it's split equally or someone pays, you can discuss it yourselves. I'll pretend nothing happened and give you discounts next time you come to eat here, and we can still be friends. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences."

"Liu Yunzhi, he ordered it all, it has nothing to do with us."

"Yes, we were all fooled by him, manager. If you need to find him, find him. He's the one who made all the orders."

"Yes, he's rich; he owns a company. He ordered the food and drinks himself; it's none of our business."

Immediately, most of the students turned their anger towards Liu Yunzhi.
