Chapter 141 - You're Wrong
He pointed at Jiang Hao, his eyes flashing with a touch of madness.
“You, you mongrel! How dare you strike me!”
Jiang Hao's gaze turned icy at the accusation, and he fixed Hao Jian with a chilling stare.
Hao Jian recoiled, intimidated by the cold fire in Jiang Hao's eyes, and stumbled backwards in fear.
Humiliation washed over him.
“You'll regret this!” he spat out, fumbling for his phone to call for backup.
The disturbance quickly drew a crowd. In no time, the general manager of Hongrui Electronics Mall arrived on the scene with a team of security guards in tow.
“What's the trouble here?” he demanded.
Xu Jia Rong seized the opportunity to play the victim.
Pointing at Jiang Hao, she exclaimed with righteous anger, “Does no one care? This penniless boy can't afford a phone, yet he hogs a seat and resorts to violence!”
Hao Jian, seizing the moment, chimed in eagerly.
“Manager Wang, you need to handle this. Look what this lowlife did to my face!” He gestured dramatically to his cheek.
The deceitful duo twisted the truth, but Jiang Hao held his tongue.
Sale Sister, who stood by Jiang Hao's side, couldn't bear it any longer.
She was about to step forward and set the record straight to the general manager when Jiang Hao gently held her back.
The general manager listened, his brow furrowed. Despite his initial disapproval of Hao Jian, the sight of his covered face swayed him slightly in Hao Jian's favor.
But he wasn't about to make a judgment based on one side of the story alone.
His eyes then fell on Jiang Hao, dressed simply and carrying a modest backpack. His upbringing prevented him from dismissing Jiang Hao based on his youthful appearance and attire. He addressed him courteously.
“Sir, is this the case?”
Jiang Hao glanced at the smug pair but offered no lengthy defense. Instead, he produced a black gold diamond card from his pocket and slapped it down on the glass countertop with a resounding snap.
In that instant, both Manager Wang and Hao Jian's expressions shifted dramatically at the sight of the card on the counter.
General Manager Wang's face was a picture of shock!
Hao Jian, meanwhile, looked as if he had swallowed something vile, his expression souring as he glanced at Jiang Hao with a tinge of regret.
The black gold diamond card wasn't just a sign of being a high-level member at the Royal Bank of R Country; it was a symbol of elite status!
How could he dare to offend someone who held such a card?
People like that could ruin him effortlessly if they chose to!
But now, with things having escalated to this point, his only option was to find a way to beg for Nian Tingxian's mercy.
As Hao Jian was pondering over how to apologize to Jiang Hao in hopes of being spared,
Sale Sister, standing next to Jiang Hao, picked up on the dramatic shift in the general manager and Hao Jian's expressions upon seeing the card.
She stared at the exquisite black gold diamond card on the counter, her face a mix of astonishment and curiosity.
The card struck a chord of familiarity with her, yet she couldn't quite place it.
Xu Jia Rong, at Hao Jian's side, however, missed the revealing reactions of both Hao Jian and the general manager to the card.
She was unfamiliar with the card as well.
“Pfft!”
He scoffed at Jiang Hao's showy demeanor.
“Seriously, dude? At this point, what's with the act?”
“Trying to intimidate someone with a gaming membership card?”
“You little twerp…”
“Silence!”
“Smack!”
Xu Jia's words were abruptly cut off by a stern shout from Hao Jian, who then followed up with a sharp slap across her face.
