The service staff was dumbfounded.
After being stunned for a long time, his face turned cold, and he looked at Zhu Xingguo and the other person in disgust, “You don’t even dare to say your names. I don’t know how you two got on the ship, but we’re all distinguished guests. A rat should know that it’s a rat. No one will stop you if you hide in the sewer and steal some leftovers. It’s your fault for coming out here to have a meal.”
The waiter then motioned to the door and summoned the security guards.
“Who were you referring to as a rat?” Zhu Xingguo glared at him as he threw away the lobster tail.
Ren Ruoruo pulled on Zhu Xingguo’s sleeve. “Forget it. Let’s go. Don’t cause trouble for Captain.”
Zhu Xingguo thought that it made sense.
He picked up the plate and turned around to leave angrily.
Seeing the two cowering, the lady beside them immediately forced back into the crowd and shouted, “They’re thieves! Everyone, catch them! You want to run after stealing food?”
The waiter also shouted to the security guards who had rushed over. “They’re not on the guest list. They must have snuck onto the ship to steal food. Throw them into the sea.”
When the head of the security guards heard that, he looked at Zhu Xingguo, who was walking toward him, and said hesitantly, “It’s not good to throw them into the sea, right? That might kill them! Can’t we just capture them and hand them over to the police on the way back?”
The waiter sneered. “These two rats are here to steal food. Who knows if they are from some refugee camp somewhere? They might even be sick. We have many distinguished guests here. Who will be responsible if something happens?”
When he heard that…
The head security guard did not say anything.
That was above his paycheck.
The other party was using the guests as an excuse, so even if the Captain was there, there was nothing he could do.
No one would offend the distinguished guests for two lowly lives.
The crowd around Zhu Xingguo dispersed.
The lady behind him screamed, “They’re so smelly and dirty, so disgusting! I don’t dare to touch the things they’ve touched!”
The crowd buzzed with discussion.
The customers picking up their food at the counter immediately put them down and moved away from the table as if the food had been polluted.
The waiter frowned at that scene and said, “Tell the kitchen to prepare a new batch of food. We’ll remove them.”
Everyone treated the two like dirty rats from the sewers. Everyone hated them.
Zhu Xingguo was so angry that his face and neck reddened.
He was determined not to cause trouble for his master, so he put down all the food and quickened his pace to walk away.
He did not want to cause trouble.
However, the others did not let him off.
A group of security guards blocked his way.
The head security guard sighed and whispered to Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo, ” I’ll give you two life jackets later. Good luck.”
Zhu Xingguo’s eyes brightened, and he shouted, “Master!”
“Don’t shout! I don’t know you two!” The head security guard quickly waved his hand. “I don’t have the heart to do it, don’t hurt me…”
A figure walked past him to Zhu Xingguo’s side and comforted Ren Ruoruo, whose eyes were red. “Everything’s fine now.”
Ren Ruoruo nodded without saying anything.
Zhu Xingguo said to Wang Wen angrily, “I only wanted to bring you some food, but they said I stole it! If you don’t want me to pack it up, just say it!”
Wang Wen patted his arm and walked toward the dining table.
The head security guard was about to say something.
A hand was placed on his shoulder.
A voice said, “You’re not a bad person. If you did not say those words, I would have made you into a dog.”
The head security guard turned his head in shock.
He saw the Captain standing behind him with a group of people.
“Alright, everyone’s here,”the person who had just spoken said to the Captain. “It’s just the four of us.”
The head security guard’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that and saw the Captain’s respectful attitude.
The Captain looked at Zhu Xingguo, Ren Ruoruo, and Zhou Shengsheng and asked, “It’s these two, right?”
Zhou Shengsheng nodded. “Yes, we used up some energy to clear the iceberg. As a last resort, we ate some of your food. I’m sorry!”
“Please don’t say that. I’m too ashamed to show my face!” TheCaptain had just promised the other party the status of a distinguished guest of the highest level, but in the blink of an eye, he was slapped in the face. The Captain’s expression was extremely unsightly.
The first mate beside him rebuked, “What are you doing? Look at them properly! These are our highest-ranking VIPs! All their food and drinks are free. You must satisfy all their requests!”
“I think it’s better not to do that.” Wang Wen, who was looking at the food at the counter, suddenly said. “We don’t deserve it. We’ll pay for the food however much it costs.”
Zhu Xingguo walked forward and pointed at the lobster and cake. “I only ate those two.”
Wang Wen nodded and looked up at the stunned waiter. “How much are they?”
The Captain strode over, embarrassed. “My distinguished guests! Please, don’t say that! I would be so embarrassed!”
Zhou Shengsheng followed closely behind. Looking at the Captain bending his knees and almost kneeling, he could not understand Wang Wen’s actions.
He asked Wang Wen, “We don’t need to spend money, do we? Besides, the money here—”
“Young Master, you’re still too young.” Wang Wen smiled and shook his head.
Zhou Shengsheng was shocked.
He stared at that first-year student who was probably not even 20 years old. Did he say he was young?
He was puzzled. “What do you mean? That’s what we deserve. Otherwise, they would have already crashed into the iceberg and died! He’s willing to give us the highest status, and no one forced him to do that.”
Wang Wen smiled and did not answer Zhou Shengsheng’s question. Instead, he said to the Captain and the first officer, “Since you don’t believe that we cleared the iceberg, then we’ll talk about it the next time we see it.”
The moment he said that.
Zhou Shengsheng’s expression changed.
He turned to look at the Captain and the others suspiciously.
“There’s no such thing. We believe you!” The captain denied it repeatedly.
The chief mate also kept nodding.
No one knew if they told the truth.
Zhou Shengsheng fell into deep thought.
Wang Wen did not argue with them and said, “That’s why it doesn’t matter how much the tickets, food, and drinks cost! We are not scammers or thieves who would cheat for food and drink, and we are not refugees with infectious diseases. We have money!”
He stretched out his hand and gently placed a gold coin on the table.
The waiter’s eyes instantly widened.
“It’s gold!” The crowd exclaimed.
“Is that enough?” Wang Wen looked at the Captain with a faint smile.
“No need,” the Captain insisted. “You don’t have to do that.” The first mate stared at the gold coin, his face full of confusion.
“Looks like it’s not enough.” Wang Wen nodded and waved his hand, causing it to rain gold.
Each drop transformed into a gleaming gold coin when the golden rain fell to the ground.
The entire hall was filled with golden light in an instant!
The crisp sound of gold coins colliding repeatedly shook everyone’s eardrums.
Soon after, a thick layer of gold coins covered the ground near the dining table.
Everyone was stunned.
Ren Ruoruo looked at the golden rain and the gold coins on the ground. Her eyes were full of regret.
Zhou Shengsheng knelt, picked up a gold coin, and scrutinized it.
Then he ground a hard, rough stone surface at the bottom of the dining table. With his fingers, he snatched the gold powder and gently crushed it.
“It’s real gold!” He raised his head.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
