Both names were people that Xu He had to be cautious around, so he would not make a request for them to meet or ask Ye Shuang to introduce him to them. Regardless, Xu He's hope was still on Xu Jian; he hoped that he could get to know a few more people through Ye Shuang… It would be best if the people were the kind who had plenty of money and could be tricked easily. That way, he would be able to find a lifeline for himself. He would sell the Xi Hwa Organization, this mess that he was holding, as soon as possible and escape as far as he could…
After the phone call, Xu Jian and Ye Shuang stayed at the theme park, but they did not line up for theme park attractions. Instead, they sat in the theme park's café, and each of them took one side of the table, focusing on their phone and laptop.
Xu He followed his original plan and went for lunch. According to his habit, if he was having lunch near the company, there were actually only a few choices to pick from. The Chinese restaurant was full, the Thai restaurant did not have a private room, the Japanese restaurant…
After eliminating some of the choices, Xu He ended up choosing to have his meal in a western restaurant. After enjoying the scrumptious meal, Xu He raised his hand to get the waiter's attention so that he could pay his bill. However, as his hand reached into the air, his other hand went to his pocket, and Xu He froze.
The well-trained waiter had already walked over and asked with a polite smile, ”Sir, how may I help you?”
Xu He froze for a moment before asking, ”I'm sorry, but can I know where the bathroom is?”
The waiter looked at this customer who looked quite familiar. Even though he was confused, he answered with the professional smile on his face, ”Just take the corridor on the left. When you reach the potted plant, turn left and keep on walking.”
Xu He nodded and then stood up with as small a movement as he could and headed to the bathroom. The waiter stood where he was and waited for a while. He noticed that the gentleman's plates were already empty, and he appeared to have been asking for the bill earlier… Considering that Xu He might return soon and ask for the bill, he decided to stand there and wait for him to return.
However, one minute passed, two minutes passed… Half an hour passed, and he still did not see the customer from earlier. It was then that the waiter finally noticed that something was not right.
Constipation? That did not seem like it.
The waiter thought about it and walked quickly to the bathroom. After he entered the bathroom, he knocked on the cubicle door one by one. ”Hello, is anyone in there?”
”What do you want? You want to borrow some toilet paper?”
”Pfft! Hua la la la la la!”
”Wait a minute!”
”Didn't I tell you to wait a minute‽”
”Again‽”
Many different voices answered him, but the waiter did not hear the voice of the gentleman from earlier. Finally, the waiter started to panic. He apologized profusely to the customers in the bathroom and then rushed to find the manager. ”Manager Zhang! There's a customer who escaped without paying!!”
…
”I will never lend you my car! No way!” Yao Zhixing growled angrily. His face was colored with determination that said this was a decision that could not be negotiated. His hand gripped the car key tightly, and he said in a tone that brooked no argument, ”I normally will not say anything if a friend asks to borrow a car, and I will never ask about what you're planning to do, but…”
Yao Zhixing took a deep breath. He tried his best to calm down, but that did not seem to work. After a pause, he finally lost his temper and roared, ”You people never said it would be so smelly!”
”Oh, that is purely an accident.” Cedrick used his hand that was not holding Xu He to scratch his hair, and there was an awkwardness on his face. Even the volume of his voice dropped several degrees. ”I really did not expect that he would use the toilet for real… I thought he was only going to the toilet to call someone to ask for some money.”
Xu He was someone who valued his face above anything else, so he would never allow himself to do anything that might injure his image. With that idea in mind, with the waiter just standing next to him, Xu He naturally would not take out his phone to ask someone else to send some money to him so that he could pay the bill… Therefore, with that analysis in mind, the chance of Xu He going to the toilet to make the call for help was incredibly high.
After analyzing Xu He's personality and psychology, Cedrick had predicted that there was a very high chance for his plan to succeed. Yet, to his surprise, while Xu He did follow his plan, after he got into the toilet, the man's stomach really did start to rumble…
Helping the man pick up his pants was his limit, but to have Cedrick help the man wipe his butt? Hell would have to freeze over first!
The embarrassed Cedrick tried his best to argue logically with Yao Zhixing. He tried to rely on all the logic and reason that he could garner. The original plan was to use the man's car to transport the unconscious Xu He out of San Lin City and then use the highway to move him toward Chaohai. There, he would get on the yacht, and they would be sent away from the mainland. Every step of the plan had been done, but who would have thought that Yao Zhixing would suddenly go berserk?
”At a time like this, just try to resist your urge for cleanliness!” Cedrick gestured and made a helpless expression. ”You have to understand that the person who needs to suffer days of being trapped in the same space as the man is me! My fate is even worse than yours, and you don't see me complaining, do you‽”
”This is not an issue of cleanliness that we're talking about!” Yao Zhixing tried but could not keep his patience in check. ”I just bought this car the middle of last year, and I've not personally ridden it more than a few times. After lending it to you, do you think I'll still want the car back or not?”
There was no way he was going along with this.
”Give me the phone, I'll talk to Xiao Shuang myself!” Yao Zhixing gritted his teeth.
Cedrick looked at him silently for three seconds. ”You yourself have the lady's contact number, don't you?”
F*ck me! This is the worst! Yao Zhixing slapped his head and then glared fiendishly at Cedrick before taking out his phone. He made the call with a speed dial, and when Ye Shuang picked up the call, without waiting for the girl to say anything, he launched into the offense first. ”Xiao Shuang, it is not that I'm trying to make things difficult for you. I can do anything else that you want from me. Even if you wanted me to be your human shield, I would not have hesitated! But that petty thief wants to carry this old man whose butt is not yet wiped into my car. Tell me, do you think I can still race with this car in the future?”
If he really compromised this time, Yao Zhixing would have a trauma even sitting in the passenger seat in the future.
The other end of the line was silent for more than a few seconds. Finally, the confused Ye Shuang asked in a tone that was fraying, ”What do you mean by the butt is not yet wiped?”
”He dragged the man directly out from the toilet!” Yao Zhixing roared angrily. ”The man was in the middle of pooping! Do you know that? His ass is not even wiped!”
