must have practiced a method that produces powerful yang energy to counteract the yin energy, just like my Ice and Fire Spiritual Body!"After studying for quite some time, Xia Tian finally understood...Chapter 1188: Still Can Be Rescued
Xia Tian didn't eat much this time. Since he had drunk so much earlier, he was almost full already. However, in order to spend more time on a lunch date with Meiyu, Xia Tian deliberately slowed down his eating speed. Therefore, when they entered the restaurant, it wasn’t even twelve o'clock yet. By two o'clock, however, they still hadn't finished their meal.
"Why are you eating so slowly today" Meiyu had already put her chopsticks down a long time ago and finally couldn't help but ask when she saw that the time was already 2 PM.
"Honey Meiyu, I've been thinking about something," Xia Tian answered seriously.
"What are you thinking about" Meiyu sounded slightly unhappy. "Why would you think so much while eating a meal"
"Honey Meiyu, I've been wondering if the phrase 'appetizing to the eye' is true. But after thinking for a long time, I still couldn't figure out how to use Honey Meiyu to fill my stomach, so that's why I eat slowly," Xia Tian responded in a serious manner as well, though his words clearly indicated he wasn’t being at all serious.
"You're beyond help!" Meiyu said irritably. What kind of person was this guy who always thought about teasing her
"Honey Meiyu, I think there's still hope for me," Xia Tian chuckled.
Meiyu was momentarily speechless. Where did this fellow pick up such nonsensical phrases
A long while later, Meiyu finally spoke again: "Okay, hurry up and eat. Once we're done, let's go."
"Alright, I've almost finished eating. However, Mei'er, there's something else I need to tell you." Xia Tian put down his chopsticks and then told Mei'er about Shi Pengfei and An Xiaobei.
"Is it related to the CIA again" Mei'er frowned after hearing Xia Tian's story. "Aren't those people almost all captured"
"Mei'er, those idiots with the codename Yi Zhiyan usually operate independently. Even though we caught quite a few CIA fools recently, I suspect we haven’t gotten to the ones called Yi Zhiyan yet. This might be another opportunity for us," Xia Tian said quickly.
Mei'er pondered for a moment and then nodded: "Alright, I'll arrange it. In the past, Mu Han was in charge of this matter, but since she’s not back yet, I’ll take care of it temporarily. I will have someone contact Shi Pengfei and An Xiaobei to organize the specific actions. As long as they show up, capturing them shouldn’t be difficult; after all, your interrogation methods work well. We might indeed capture more important figures."
"Okay, Mei'er, please tell them to be careful. Also, don't trust An Xiaobei too much. That woman may have problems," Xia Tian said after thinking for a moment.
"Understood, I’ll give her a call." Mei'er took out her phone and was about to make the call when someone knocked on the booth’s glass door from the outside and opened it.
The person turned out to be a restaurant server. She glanced at Xia Tian and Mei'er before politely asking: "Sir, Madam, are you ready to pay"
"Did I say I was going to pay" Xia Tian was somewhat puzzled. Although he did intend to settle the bill, how could this female server know Could she really be on the same wavelength as him
Upon taking a closer look at the server, Xia Tian became rather anxious. Oh dear goddess, please don’t let her be on the same wavelength as me; she doesn't even look attractive. How can someone like her have this kind of connection with me
"Sir, sorry about that, our restaurant has a rule: A meal cannot exceed two hours or we will charge additional service fees. If you’re not ready to pay now, we’ll add service charges accordingly; if you don’t want extra charges, please settle the bill and leave," said the server in a polite tone, but her words left an unpleasant taste.
However, Summer felt more comfortable hearing this; at least, the woman didn’t seem to share a psychic connection with him. The worst-case scenario he had been worried about did not come true.
Mie’er, however, was feeling very uncomfortable. She couldn’t help but ask, "What does that mean Your restaurant actually has rules regarding meal times This is the first time I’ve encountered such a strange restaurant."
"Sorry, miss, our restaurant is a bit special because we are always busy and there’s never enough space to accommodate everyone at any given hour. If we didn’t set specific dining hours, it would cause us significant losses," explained the waiter.
"Who are you trying to fool" Summer rolled her eyes, "You say your business is good Right now, with our table included, there are only four other occupied tables."
"Sir, regardless of how many customers we have now, this is our rule. If you don’t pay up right away, we will charge a hundred dollars extra for every hour you stay," the waiter stated firmly without backing down.
Mie’er was also displeased: "Then why didn’t you tell us about this rule when we first came in"
"Miss, it’s written on the menu. If you don’t believe me, take a look now," replied the waiter.
Mie’er indeed took the menu and looked at it; she found that there was indeed such wording at the back of the menu where no one usually looks—there were actually no dishes listed on that page—and during their earlier order placement, the waiter hadn’t specifically highlighted this rule.
"This is ridiculous," Mie’er said unhappily. "Alright, let’s pay and leave."
Mie’er wasn’t unwilling to pay extra; it was just that being treated like they were being kicked out while eating dinner would definitely affect her mood.
"Mei'er, my wife, you continue making calls, we are not leaving." Xia Tian said, however. "Originally, I wanted to leave, but since they’re now urging us to leave, I won’t budge!"
"Alright then," Mei'er was a bit annoyed as well and made the phone call to arrange for Shi Pengfei and An Xiao bei's matters.
Xia Tian glared at the waiter. "Hey, you can go now. Oh, and tell your boss that I’ll stay here eating until whenever I want today, and I won’t be paying him a single cent!"
"Sir, if you say so, then…" The waiter was about to speak.
"I said get lost! Didn’t you hear me" Xia Tian glared fiercely at the waiter.
Pityed by Xia Tian’s gaze, the waiter seemed as though he had stopped breathing. Not daring to breathe loudly or make a sound, he stood there dumbfounded for ten seconds before hurriedly turning around and leaving without saying another word.
"I’ll give you points for knowing when you’re beaten. If you hadn’t left, I would’ve killed you with my eyes!" Xia Tian muttered to himself.
A few minutes later,
an adult man appeared in Xia Tian’s sight, along with the waiter who had just left.
"I’m the manager here. May I ask if there are any issues with our service" The middle-aged self-proclaimed manager asked.
"That's right," Xia Tian answered: "I think your shabby restaurant can just close down."
"Sir, if you feel that the food doesn't taste good or there are hygiene issues, you should first tell us instead of saying it after eating and refusing to pay." The manager looked at Xia Tian. "It seems sir is not from the capital city; I hope sir understands that this is the capital, where people don't go around eating without paying."
"Speak softer, I'm making a phone call!" Mei'er said somewhat displeased at this moment.
"Miss, don't think you can avoid payment just by making a phone call..." The manager thought that Mei'er was calling for help and couldn’t help but look down on her. What kind of person is she She can’t even afford the money and still wants to find someone else to cover up the bill
"Tell this idiot to keep his voice down, didn't you hear" Xia Tian glared at the manager不滿地瞪了這個經理一眼。
The manager immediately flew into a rage: "Sir, be polite with your words..." uh!
Xia Tian kicked the manager away with one foot and muttered to himself: "Really stubborn bones, had to beat him up!"
"Ah!" The waitress who was already scared earlier screamed in terror. "Fighting! Fighting... uh!"
Xia Tian kicked her away with another kick.
Hearing the scream of the waitress, ten or so more people came one after another, but this time Xia Tian didn't give them a chance to speak and kicked each of them away. In no time at all, there were people lying everywhere in the restaurant.
"Alright, report to me immediately if anything goes wrong!" Mei'er finally realized something was amiss and hastily hung up the phone. She then stood up and pulled on Xia Tian who still wanted to continue hitting people: "What are you doing"
"Hitting them of course!" Xia Tian had an innocent look on his face, "These guys deserve it for ruining our dining mood."
"Alright, you've let off some steam. Let's go," Mei'er sounded quite helpless. Although she was also unhappy with the restaurant, she didn't want to take things this far.
To prevent Xia Tian from unintentionally leveling the place, Mei'er decided to drag him away immediately. As for paying the bill, that was out of the question.
Several minutes later when the police showed up at the restaurant, Xia Tian and Mei'er had already vanished without a trace. After a while, when the police found the appearance of their target on surveillance footage near the restaurant, they headed back home, cursing Xia Tian in their hearts for running away from an unpaid meal!
Xia Tian and Mei'er returned to Dark Team's base around three o'clock in the afternoon. Initially, Xia Tian didn't want to come back, but Mei'er thought it was too dangerous for him to wander around外地,還是把他帶回基地比較好。
As soon as they got off the car and arrived at their base, they spotted a familiar figure to both of them: Zhao Mingfeng, the former Sky Team leader and current Dark Team deputy leader.
"Mei'er, Xia Tian, you're back just in time. I was about to look for you," greeted Zhao Mingfeng as he approached them with an anxious expression.
Upon seeing this, Mei'er sensed something was amiss and asked immediately: "Uncle Zhao, is there a problem"top him. Finally, someone shouted: "Stop!"Unfortunately, Summer had already been provoked and showed no intention of stopping; he continued kicking the middle-aged man on the ground, causing him to ro...
