Chapter 215: Leaving one hand as punishment
Su Yingxue looked at the huge bill in her hand and was so angry that her hands trembled.
She slammed the bill on the counter and yelled, "I don't know him! Go ask him for your money!"
After saying that, Su Yingxue walked quickly towards the hotel entrance, her mind in turmoil.
"Six million...where would I get that much money!" She gritted her teeth, feeling both anxious and angry.
"That bastard, losing so much money overnight, he's insane!" she muttered. "Why am I so unlucky to run into someone like that!"
She quickly took out her phone and dialed a number: "Hello, it's me. Find me a few bodyguards, the sooner the better."
After hanging up the phone, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
"I can't delay any longer, I have to get out of here right now." She made a silent decision. "Once the bodyguards arrive, let's see if he dares to bother me again!"
Su Yingxue quickly left the front desk. Although she was about to see President Yang, she still couldn't shake off the gloom in her heart.
"Zhang Daqiang, you just wait." She clenched her fists, a resolute glint in her eyes. "This game isn't over yet."
Su Yingqing took small steps, her high heels making a crisp sound on the floor.
She was thinking about how to leave this place as soon as possible, away from Zhang Daqiang and that huge debt.
However, just as she was about to step out of the hotel, a security guard suddenly blocked her way.
"Miss, please wait a moment." The security guard's tone was polite, but his eyes held an unwavering determination.
Su Yingqing was clearly taken aback.
Looking back, I saw the front desk staff whispering something into a walkie-talkie.
Her heart sank, realizing that things might not be so simple.
"Check out? What check out?" Su Yingqing frowned, her tone filled with obvious anger and confusion.
"Zhang Daqiang's bill needs your signature for confirmation," the receptionist said with a smile, but there was a hint of coldness in her smile.
Su Yingqing's face instantly turned ugly: "Why should I pay for Zhang Daqiang's expenses? Has he already run away and I'm being made to pay off his debt?"
Her voice rose eight octaves, drawing the attention of those around her.
In the lobby, executives and security personnel were deployed, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
A crowd gradually gathered, and whispers rose and fell.
Su Yingqing was forced to return to the front desk, feeling both anxious and angry.
"Your hotel has such huge management loopholes! Why should I be responsible when someone uses my membership card to run a debt?" she asked coldly, trying to shirk responsibility.
At that moment, a manager in a suit and tie walked over with a professional smile on his face.
“Ms. Su, there are too many people here, so let’s talk in the lounge to avoid affecting the hotel’s image.” His tone was respectful, but his eyes left no room for refusal.
Su Yingqing hesitated for a moment, but ultimately followed the manager into the lounge.
However, as soon as she entered the room, her wrists were firmly grabbed by two men in black, and she was then tied to a chair.
"What are you doing! Let me go!" She struggled, but to no avail.
The manager sat opposite her and slowly opened a laptop.
“Ms. Su, this is the CCTV footage from last night. Zhang Daqiang did indeed use your membership card to pay on credit, and according to hotel policy, he must pay within 24 hours.” His tone was calm, but it sent a chill down Su Yingqing’s spine.
“I don’t know him! You should call the police to arrest him, not come to me!” Su Yingqing retorted angrily.
"But the membership card is yours, so the debt is naturally yours too." The manager smiled slightly. "Six million, Ms. Su, how do you plan to pay it?"
"Six million?!" Su Yingqing's eyes widened, her voice almost trembling. "How could I possibly have that much money! I won't pay, don't try to force me!"
The manager's smile gradually turned cold: "Ms. Su, our hotel has a set of very effective methods for dealing with those who refuse to pay their bills."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in black walked in, holding a gleaming long machete.
The man wore a sinister smile, his gaze fixed intently on Su Yingqing.
"According to the contract terms, if you are unable to pay your debts, we will cut off one of your hands as punishment."
The manager's voice sounded like it came from hell: "This is the rule, and it's also a warning."
Su Yingqing looked at the long knife in the black-clad man's hand; the blade gleamed with a blinding cold light under the lamplight.
Her face turned deathly pale instantly, and her body involuntarily shrank back.
Her voice trembled so much she could barely speak: "What...what are you trying to do?"
The manager stood to the side, a cold smile on his face the entire time.
He pointed to the knife in the man in black's hand: "Here, if you can't pay back the money, you'll have to leave behind a hand. Miss Su, would you like to leave your left hand or your right hand?"
Su Yingqing's tears welled up instantly, her voice trembling with sobs: "I'll pay you back! I'll pay you back! Please don't hurt me!"
Her hands were clenched tightly together, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
"No...you can't do this!" Her voice was choked with sobs, fear almost overwhelming her.
"Ms. Su, time is running out." The manager stood up, his tone icy. "You have ten minutes to consider."
The air in the room seemed to freeze, and Su Yingqing's mind went blank.
She knew she was in dire straits.
Her palms were sweating, and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.
"What should I do... what should I do?" she asked herself frantically in her mind, but she couldn't find any answers.
The man in black slowly approached, the machete in his hand gleaming coldly under the light.
Su Yingqing closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and tried to calm herself down.
"Wait!" She suddenly opened her eyes, her voice trembling but with a hint of determination, "I have a way to pay back the money!"
The manager raised an eyebrow, gesturing for the man in black to stop: "Oh? Miss Su, please speak."
“I…I can contact my family, and they will help me pay this money,” Su Yingqing said quickly, trying to buy herself some time.
The manager smiled slightly, seemingly unsurprised by her answer: "Very good, then please contact us now. However, please remember, time waits for no one."
Su Yingqing picked up her phone with trembling hands, her fingers swiping across the screen, but she hesitated to dial a number.
The manager smiled and said, "Why don't you dial the number?"
Su Yingqing said tremblingly, "With so much money, I definitely can't make a phone call. Nobody will believe me. I'd better just borrow the money directly."
The manager looked at her coldly, without a trace of pity in his eyes: "Ms. Su, you have wasted too much time. The hotel's rules cannot be broken."
"I really will pay you back, please give me a little more time!" Su Yingqing said almost pleadingly.
"Alright, I'll give you one more day." The manager finally relented, but his tone remained icy. "If you still can't come up with six million by this time tomorrow, don't blame us for being impolite."
After he finished speaking, he took out a black bracelet from his pocket and handed it to the man in black next to him.
