"Yes, Young Master Tian." Zhou Ze's face was pale as he handed him the car keys.
Young Master Tian took the car keys and said, "Alright, from now on, you and my Tian family are even. It ends here."
"Yes."
Zhou Ze lowered his head and was about to leave.
"Wait a moment."
Suddenly, Li Yang called out, "Young Master Tian, I don't think this matter is over yet."
"Sir, I have already fired him. If there was any unpleasantness just now, I can offer you some apologies," Young Master Tian said to him. "But for an insignificant person, isn't it better not to dwell on it?"
"You misunderstand my meaning. I don't need your apologies, I just want to remind you," Li Yang shook his head and said. "There's something wrong with this car key."
"What do you mean?" Young Master Tian looked at the car key in his hand and asked suspiciously.
Li Yang said, "To put it plainly, the car key in your hand is a replica, not a car key provided by the official car dealership. So, I have a guess. It's possible that your Rolls-Royce has also been swapped out by him."
"What!"
Young Master Tian's heart leaped, and he suddenly looked at Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze's face was full of panic, clearly caught in wrongdoing and fearing retaliation.
Seeing his gaze turn towards him, Zhou Ze didn't say a word and bolted towards the exit.
Young Master Tian was stunned for a moment, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He shouted, "Catch him!"
"Yes, Young Master!" Several bodyguards suddenly appeared outside the restaurant door, grabbing Zhou Ze and pinning him to the floor.
"Ah, ah!"
Zhou Ze cried out in pain, "Young Master, spare me! Young Master Tian, spare me!"
"I ask you, what did you do to my family's car?" Young Master Tian stared at him coldly and asked.
"Nothing, I didn't do anything, ah!"
"Speak!" Young Master Tian stomped on his head, staring down at him. "This is your last chance to confess and be lenient. If you dare to quibble again, I will absolutely not be polite."
"I was wrong, Young Master Tian. I shouldn't have been blinded by greed and listened to a fake car boss. I had a low-priced replica Rolls-Royce made and swapped it with yours," Zhou Ze cried out in pain.
Young Master Tian's expression darkened. "You, Zhou Ze, how dare you be so bold! This is truly beyond my expectations!"
"Spare me, Young Master Tian, please spare me this time. I was just short of money recently, which is why I did this," Zhou Ze pleaded. "I originally planned to swap back the real Rolls-Royce after I got through this difficult period."
"Really, Young Master Tian, you must believe me."
"Still daring to lie! Zhou Ze, you are insulting my intelligence. I will never forgive you!" Young Master Tian coldly shouted. "Break his legs and arms, then send him to the public security bureau!"
"When you can repay this debt, then we can talk about me forgiving you!"
"No, don't, Young Master Tian, ah, ah!" Zhou Ze tried to beg again, but before he could say a few words, his limbs were directly broken, and he let out a piercing scream.
Afterward, the bodyguards dragged him out.
Young Master Tian collected himself and said to everyone, "I apologize for causing any unpleasantness. I, Tian Wuji, will cover the cost of this meal."
"Also, waiter, open a bottle of '82 Lafite for every table and serve the best dishes."
"Young Master Tian is so considerate!" Everyone said with a smile, looking at him.
A meal here was not a small expense, costing at least several thousand yuan. If they were to drink and eat rare dishes, the price would be multiplied by more than ten.
If it weren't for socializing, even people with money wouldn't eat and drink here every day.
Young Master Tian smiled slightly at everyone, then walked up to Li Yang and said, "Sir, thank you very much just now. My name is Tian Wuji. Here is my business card. If you need anything, feel free to call me."
"Within my capabilities, I will absolutely not hesitate."
"Of course, if you need anything now, you can tell me directly, and I will have someone arrange it for you immediately."
"You're too kind, Young Master Tian." Li Yang took the business card and looked at it, a look of surprise appearing on his face. He then smiled and said, "Speaking of which, there is indeed something. If I could get Young Master Tian's help, it would be a great fortune."
"Oh, tell me about it," Tian Wuji looked at him curiously.
Li Yang said, "It is said that among the eight great families of Jiangcheng, the Tian family ranks first. Then you must have heard of the Tang family and the Tang Corporation, right?"
"The Tang family is very united. In terms of family businesses, they are quite remarkable throughout Jiangnan Province. Of course, I've heard of them," Tian Wuji nodded and stared at him. "Could it be that you want me to help the Tang family through this difficult time?"
"If possible, please help, Young Master Tian," Li Yang nodded. "Of course, I know that what just happened is not enough qualification for you to help like this, but..."
"No need, I promise you," Tian Wuji said directly.
Li Yang looked at him with some surprise. "Young Master Tian?"
"As I said, within my capabilities, I will absolutely not hesitate. My Tian family has achieved what it has today by keeping promises and following through. No matter how significant the matter just now was, a promise is a promise," Tian Wuji said with a serious expression. "As the eldest son of the Tian family, I cannot disgrace the Tian family."
"Young Master Tian is truly a man of principle." Li Yang stood up and extended a hand to him. "If you ever need anything from me, Li Yang, just say the word."
"Huh?" Tian Wuji was stunned.
Many people around were also somewhat bewildered, and some even chuckled. This young man truly didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
What was the status and position of Young Master Tian Wuji? It was understandable for him to say such things with ample power. But what kind of person were you to dare to speak with such confidence?
Truly clueless.
Facing their disdainful gazes, Li Yang remained calm, a smile on his lips, appearing very confident, as if he indeed had the ability to speak like that.
Seeing him like this, Tian Wuji felt a bit strange himself. He suddenly laughed and shook his hand. "Haha, Mr. Li, you are truly interesting."
"Alright, if I encounter difficulties in the future, I will definitely ask for your help."
"Alright." Li Yang smiled and withdrew his hand.
Tian Wuji said, "Mr. Li, I know a little about the Tang family's difficulties. I can tell you that the person behind their troubles is a commercial magnate from the provincial capital, whose methods are quite ruthless. Once he targets prey, he will bite down and never let go."
"Even if I help, it will only delay the time of the Tang family's downfall. It won't completely turn the situation around."
