50: I won't burn you.

Seeing the other party was not to be trifled with, the manager quickly demanded the young man apologize.

The young man had no choice but to bow and apologize: "I'm sorry, my service wasn't up to par."

Only then did Lin Yimei smile with satisfaction: "What a piece of shit, a stinking waiter, daring to boss me around. The customer is God, is this how you treat God? How did your mother usually teach you?"

Hearing this, the young man immediately became angry because his mother had died when he was in third grade.

"I warn you, you can insult me, but don't curse my mother!"

Seeing him angry, Lin Yimei's own temper flared up. She immediately raised her voice: "So what if I curse your mother? If your mother had raised you properly, would you be working as a waiter here?

A son turning out like this trash, if I were your mother, I'd rather die. And you dare to boss me around? With your cowardly look, you deserve to be a waiter your whole life, serving others like a dog forever."

"What did you say?" The young man was now completely enraged. Just then, the pretty young woman from earlier appeared in time, stepping forward to stop him.

The manager also quickly positioned himself between the two, apologizing while trying to placate the 'little fairy'.

Just then, Zhang Yong returned. Hearing that Lin Yimei had been harassing a young waiter over adding broth and had cursed his mother, he felt a deep sense of shame himself.

Although Lin Yimei was just his blind date, Zhang Yong now felt utterly embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, this isn't the young man's fault. We've almost finished eating anyway, adding more broth or not doesn't matter."

Hearing this, Lin Yimei was unwilling to let it go: "What 'almost finished'? I haven't had enough yet. Waiter, I want to order more dishes."

Then she pointed at the young man: "You just wait and see how I report your restaurant."

After saying that, Lin Yimei returned to the private room, and Zhang Yong followed her.

"Actually, there's no need..."

Before Zhang Yong could finish, Lin Yimei cut him off: "Don't you dare criticize me. A man who takes the outsider's side like you, what use would marrying you be? Good thing I didn't take a liking to you."

Zhang Yong could only sneer coldly, thinking to himself, *Thank goodness I feel the same way about you.*

Still fuming, Lin Yimei took out her phone. Not only did she post a vicious Weibo, she even directly @mentioned the restaurant's chairman.

The young man returned to the kitchen and was severely scolded by the manager.

Just then, the manager received a call from the chairman. After inquiring about the situation, the chairman ordered: "Make that young man apologize to the customer and obtain her forgiveness. Otherwise, not only will he be fired, but his wages will also be docked."

That young woman came to find the young man and handed him a pot of scalding hot water: "Little brother, you need to go apologize to her right away, get her to delete the Weibo post. If this blows up, it won't be good for any of us. I'm begging you."

The young man looked at her, could only forcibly suppress his emotions, and took the pot of boiling water she handed him.

As he was about to leave with the pot of water, the manager also came up and said: "Hurry up and go. Apologize and get her to delete that Weibo. If this escalates today, neither of us will get off easy."

The young man carried the pot of boiling water to the private room.

By now, Zhang Yong was extremely disgusted with the woman in front of him. Seeing the young man, he felt deep sympathy.

Seeing the young man enter, Lin Yimei sneered on the spot: "Well, aren't you full of temper? How come you've backed down so quickly?"

Gritting his teeth, the young man looked at Lin Yimei: "I can apologize to you, but you have to delete that Weibo post first."

"You dare threaten me after making a mistake yourself?" Lin Yimei said with a mocking tone: "A waiter really thinks he's somebody? Let me tell you, you've messed with the wrong person today. If you want me to delete the post, unless you get down on your knees and beg me right now."

Hearing this, even Zhang Yong sitting across from her was stunned.

Over such a small matter, you're asking someone to kneel?

After hearing this, the young man's face turned ashen: "What did you say?"

"Are you deaf?" Lin Yimei shouted: "I'm telling you, kneeling is letting you off easy. Your mother didn't teach you properly, so today I'll teach you in her place!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, she saw the murderous look in the young man's eyes.

"I'm telling you one more time, don't mention my mother."

But Lin Yimei became even more agitated: "So what if I mention your mother? I will mention your mother, I will! Looking at someone like you, your mother probably wasn't any good either!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the young man suddenly take a step forward. What happened next was a scene that filled Lin Yimei with terror.

"You wanted more broth, right? I'll give you enough to last a lifetime!"

After saying that, the young man poured the entire large pot of boiling water he was holding directly over Lin Yimei's head.

"...Ah..."

The sensation of 100-degree boiling water poured on one's head is something you can imagine without trying.

Under the immense pain, Lin Yimei could only begin to scream heart-rendingly, a sound comparable to slaughtering the New Year's pig back in the rural hometown.

The young man's emotions also completely spiraled out of control. Not only did he pour the whole pot of boiling water on Lin Yimei's head, he also pinned her to the ground, raised his fist, and started pummeling her face fiercely.

By now, Lin Yimei's face was beginning to swell and fester, and her screams became even more wretched.

Hearing the screams, other waitstaff rushed over. That young woman was the first to burst into the private room. Seeing the young man violently beating Lin Yimei on the ground, her eyes widened in shock.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yong was so frightened he sat motionless across the room.

The young woman hurried forward to pull the young man away. Only after venting his rage did he finally calm down.

He knew he was already in deep trouble.

"Sis, you should leave. Once the police arrive, you won't be able to get away!"

The young man's words also stunned Zhang Yong across the room.

What did he mean, 'once the police arrive, you won't be able to get away'?

The young woman wanted to pull the young man to run away together, but he refused.

"You run by yourself. If you don't go now, it'll be too late! Sis, I'm begging you!!"

Finally, the young woman untied her apron and disappeared.

Meanwhile, Lei Zhen and his colleagues from Qinghe Police Station were eating in the largest private room just over ten meters away. Hearing the commotion outside, everyone came out to look.

Upon asking around, they found out that a customer had had boiling water poured over her head by a staff member, and the skin on her entire face had come off.

————————————

Soon, Lin Yimei was taken to the hospital. Zhang Yong could only accept his bad luck, accompany her to the hospital, and even paid a 5,000 yuan medical fee upfront.

He swore he would never go on blind dates with these 'little fairies' in their thirties who still couldn't find boyfriends.

He'd be better off spending that time playing a few more rounds of Delta Force at home.

The victim went to the hospital, while the young man was detained by Qinghe Police Station, awaiting further handling.

The young man's identity was quickly uncovered. His restaurant colleagues called him Guo Xiaoqiang, but his real name was actually Han Wenxuan. Shockingly, he was a nationally wanted Class-A fugitive.

Also wanted along with him was his biological sister, Han Qiaoyun.

Han Qiaoyun was 28 this year, four years older than her brother.

The siblings' life stories were also quite tragic.

The reason Han Wenxuan reacted so strongly earlier when Lin Yimei 'greeted' his mother was because he and his sister had lost their mother very early.

Their mother died in a car accident when Han Wenxuan was four or five. Their father also passed away six years later from an incurable disease.

At that time, Han Qiaoyun had just graduated from junior high.

With both parents gone, only their seventy-year-old grandmother remained at home.

Actually, Han Qiaoyun had good grades, but it was already a struggle for their grandmother to support both siblings, let alone have money for her to attend high school.

To lessen the family burden, Han Qiaoyun chose to join the military, entering a well-known special forces unit in the country.

Back then, the 16-year-old Han Qiaoyun had already blossomed into a graceful young woman, standing 173 cm tall. In the army, she was even called 'the flower of the military'.

Moreover, Han Qiaoyun trained very diligently in the army, quickly becoming an excellent special forces soldier, even winning a championship in a shooting competition.

In the end, Han Qiaoyun caught the eye of the son of a certain military district leader. Unfortunately, Han Qiaoyun wasn't interested in him.

Soon after, she was discharged and returned home. But just over three months after returning, their grandmother also passed away from a cerebral hemorrhage, leaving the siblings forever.

To support her brother, the just-turned-20 Han Qiaoyun entrusted him to their uncle and ventured into society alone.

She worked as a waitress, did sales, set up her own street stall, and even sold wine in a bar.

Finally, she realized that in this cruel world, it was almost impossible for an ordinary person to start from scratch and succeed while strictly abiding by the law.

In the end, introduced by a bar colleague, Han Qiaoyun became an underground model and went further and further down that path.

Several years later, this once naive and innocent girl had transformed into a well-known socialite in the underworld.

To survive, she even joined a certain large song and dance troupe, becoming a tool for the boss, Mr. Xu, to use for pleasure whenever he wished.

Not long after, her brother also graduated from high school. Lacking proper family guidance, he had been hanging out with a group of troublemakers at school and had learned bad habits from those kids.

Han Qiaoyun could only bring him to the city of Mo Du to live with her.

At that time, Han Qiaoyun had just gotten involved with a certain big boss. After sleeping with him for over half a year, she found out she was actually just the other woman.

Later, she also discovered that this so-called big boss was actually a kept man himself—his wife was the one from the truly wealthy family.

In the end, Han Qiaoyun didn't manage to get much money and was discovered by the man's wife, nearly being publicly humiliated by her on the street.

The big boss also never dared to contact her again. When Han Qiaoyun demanded one million in compensation from him, he claimed his bank cards were frozen and he couldn't get a single cent out.

But he told Han Qiaoyun that his wife had bought a thousand Bitcoins ten years ago, with the password stored on a USB drive. If he could steal that USB drive, he could take the money and run away with her.

That was in 2022, when Bitcoin had already risen to nearly $30,000 per coin.

Han Qiaoyun did the math and even scared herself.

Because a thousand Bitcoins were worth $30 million, equivalent to 200 million Daxia yuan!!
