486 Qi Tianci
The old beggar brought Lu Benwei to Jinmen Hotel.
âOld man, do you want to take a shower first? You might not be allowed to enter if youâre dressed like this!â Lu Benwei said to the old beggar.
He glanced to the side and saw a light box at the entrance of the alley across the road. It read, âBathing and Accommodation.â
Lu Benwei had an idea and said to the old beggar, âThereâs a bathhouse across the road. I wonât lower myself to your level today. Iâll treat you to a bath and a meal.â
!!
The old beggar glanced at the bathhouse that Lu Benwei was pointing at and chuckled, revealing two rows of yellow teeth. âWhy? Donât tell me youâre thinking of taking my clothes away while Iâm showering and sneaking away?â
Lu Benwei was stunned on the spot. The old beggar undoubtedly expressed Lu Benweiâs thoughts.
He was not a saint. The old beggar stole his wallet and tricked him, causing Lu Benwei to miss the train to Ha City.
Unless the sun rose from the west in the future, he would have to treat the old beggar to a bath and a meal. Lu Benwei was not surprised to see his trick exposed.
The old beggar had been in the martial world for many years. It was easy for him to see through this little trick.
âAlright!â
Lu Benwei raised his chin.
âSince you can tell, I wonât play with you anymore. Weâre not fated to meet again!â
After saying that, Lu Benwei was about to leave! However, he had only taken two steps when he heard the old beggar behind him babbling and sobbing. âGrandson!â
This move was tried and tested on Lu Benwei, so he immediately stopped.
âAre you done?â
Lu Benwei could not take it anymore. He was prepared to beat up the old beggar like the middle-aged man just now.
âWhat respect for the old and love for the young? Go to hell!â
However, just as he turned around, he saw the old beggar holding a stack of banknotes and rubbing it into a fan.
The old beggar held the money fan and kept fanning it. The paper money rubbed back and forth, making a rustling sound.
Lu Benwei estimated that there were about 3,000 yuan.
âAlright, alright. I know you didnât make the train today because of me. This meal is on me!â
Lu Benwei naturally did not believe that the old beggar would be so kind, so he asked, âHow do you have so much money?â
âThe one who hit me just now.â
Hearing the old beggarâs answer, Lu Benwei rolled his eyes. âSo youâre stealing other peopleâs money and acting tough here.â
âYouâre also a scholar. The word âstealâ is not good. How about it? Are you coming?â
Lu Benwei was amused by the old beggar, and his stomach began to rumble.
Since he was not the one spending the money, he might as well follow the old beggar and rip him off.
âLetâs go!â
An old man and a young man entered the Jinmen Hotel together.
âSir, Iâm sorry. You have to wear formal attire to enter.â
In the hotel lobby, a receptionist in a cheongsam politely and tactfully dissuaded the old beggar.
The old beggar immediately took out his money stack.
âSo many, is it enough for the two of us to have a meal at your hotel?â
The receptionist swallowed her saliva and looked a little troubled.
The old beggar took out another stack of paper money.
âIs this enough?â
The receptionist immediately smiled apologetically. âOld sir, youâre too humorous. Come, please follow me. â
âThatâs more like it.â
The old beggar put away the money stack and followed.
âOld b*stard, arenât you afraid that someone will remember you for showing off your wealth so blatantly?â Lu Benwei chased after him and asked.
The old beggar ignored him and followed behind the receptionist. He lowered his head and stared at something.
Lu Benwei followed the old beggarâs gaze.
âF*ck! You old man, youâre too indecent.â
The old beggar smacked his lips and slapped Lu Benwei.âYou child, shut up!â
The beautiful and sweet-sounding receptionist walked in front of them in her high heels. The bright white marble beneath her feet reflected the charming sceneryâ¦
Lu Benwei silently raised his head and wanted to remind him. However, he glanced around the hotel lobby.
Other than the receptionist, the young and beautiful waiters were also dressed in the same style. Perhaps this was the Jinmen Hotelâs marketing strategy.
After taking the elevator, the two of them went straight to the third floor.
The decoration style of the third floor had changed. The floor was covered with hand-woven Persian carpets, and marble was embedded in the walls. The soft light reflected in the corridor was very bright.
The receptionist stopped at the door of Room 303 and said sweetly, âOld sir, handsome boy, do you think this private room is okay?â
The old beggar ignored her and pointed to Room 888. âI want to go here.â
The receptionistâs expression changed immediately. âSir, you canât go here. That room has already been reserved.â
The receptionistâs tone was very flustered as if an important person was sitting inside.
Lu Benwei frowned, wondering what this old man was up to.
...
âWhat if I want to enter?â
The old man pushed open the door and strode in. Lu Benwei cursed in his heart and hurriedly followed him in.
âClang!â
The door of Room 888 was slammed shut, locking Lu Benwei inside.
âBrother Lu, Iâm sorry to have to meet you like this.â
The big shot sitting inside was Qi Tianci, the young master of the Qi family in Tianjin. In the morning, he made a deal with the old beggar for 300,000. The request was to bring Lu Benwei to the hotel.
When Lu Benwei saw this, his expression turned cold. âYou guys spent so much effort just to trick me into coming here.â
The old beggar laughed and picked up a paper bag from the table.
âIâll take the remaining 50,000.â He weighed it in his hand. âQi Family Head is a peculiar person.â
After a pause, he reached into the paper bag and took out a stack of paper money.
âI canât lose face. How about this extra 50,000 yuan for you to drink tea here?â
...
As he spoke, the old beggar pushed the 50,000 yuan over.
Qi Tianci only glanced at him. âThe old man has helped me a lot. If you want to eat and drink tea here, you can.â
As he spoke, he pushed the money over.
âBrother Lu, Iâm really sorry for using such a method to trick you.â
Qi Tianci stood up slowly and walked to Lu Benwei. The other bodyguards also began to move, surrounding Lu Benwei in the middle.
âYou think you can stop me?â Lu Benwei sneered.
Qi Tianci did not answer. Instead, he looked very serious.
âYou know that I canât stop me, so why do you have to go through so much trouble?â
As he spoke, Lu Benwei slowly turned around and was about to leave.
âPlop!â
Unexpectedly, Qi Tianci knelt.
