If there are any fat or thin boss relatives or friends, they should quickly inform them.
Pushing open the hotel room door, Yu Xiaogang walked straight to the coat rack and reached into the hidden pocket of his clothes—
empty.
His fingers froze for a moment, then probed further inside, only to find rough fabric texture beneath his fingertips.
Yu Xiaogang's smile began to freeze.
He stubbornly picked up his old coat and frantically searched for it, but still found nothing.
"Impossible!" Yu Xiaogang exclaimed, his body drenched in cold sweat. "I clearly put it right here!"
"A bill worth ten thousand gold soul coins! It can't possibly grow legs and run away on its own!"
The sheriff frowned. "Look again more carefully."
Yu Xiaogang was in a panic, searching through all the clothes and even lifting up the bed board to look inside.
But that 10,000-dollar bill vanished without a trace, as if it had grown wings.
Yu Xiaogang's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, "Impossible...impossible...I clearly..."
Seeing his state, the sheriff gestured to his team members, "Help him look."
But even with well-trained team members, they couldn't find them!
Everyone looked at each other, and the sheriff's expression gradually became subtle.
At this moment, the news of Yu Xiaogang being investigated has already spread like wildfire!
Countless business owners who were owed money are already blocking the door!
The disappearance of millions of dollars has also been the subject of discussion!
Yu Xiaogang felt uneasy under the gaze and swallowed hard.
“Mr. Yu,” the sheriff stood up, “since you cannot produce the original note, this ten thousand gold notes cannot be verified.”
"According to regulations, we can only temporarily detain you and take further action after we have investigated the source of the funds."
Yu Xiaogang's legs went weak, and he almost lost his balance. He frantically grabbed the corner of the table, "No, no, no! Listen to me! It really was given to me by my student!"
"His name is Tang San, and he's a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect! Go and investigate, and you'll find out—"
The sheriff interrupted him, "The Haotian Sect has been sealed off for a long time, making it impossible to verify anything. Besides, Tang San himself is a wanted criminal!"
"I..." Yu Xiaogang wanted to explain, but a commotion came from downstairs.
Several figures rushed upstairs, panting and running!
At the very front was the restaurant's fat owner, his face flushed red!
Following behind was the skinny owner of the tailor shop, and countless victimized owners!
Even the hotel owner couldn't sit still any longer and ran up with the crowd!
The corridor was completely blocked!
"Yu Xiaogang!" the fat boss roared, "You've been eating and drinking for free at my place, saying you have money, where's the money?"
"My cousin said you're being investigated by law enforcement because the money came from an unknown source. You're not just trying to fool me, are you?"
The skinny boss wiped his sweat and added, "And my clothes, they're all made of top-quality fabric!"
"Don't even think about running away until the bill is settled!"
Yu Xiaogang was caught in the middle, his face ashen.
He forced himself to repeat, "I'm not lying... I really do have it... that ticket really is... it might have been stolen..."
"Then it's gone, isn't it?" The fat boss's fleshy muscles trembled. "This is clearly a rip-off!"
"Yes! You're just fooling people!" the skinny shop owner glared back. "You scared my female employee to tears!"
"And you, you wear my clothes and don't even pay me!"
"You're not leaving until you hand over the money!"
Yu Xiaogang was squeezed into a corner, looking utterly humiliated.
He looked to the sheriff for help, "Sir, please say a word for me!"
The sheriff remained unmoved, saying, "This is outside our scope of work. Besides, paying back debts is a matter of course!"
"Fall back!"
The patrol team turned and left without looking back.
Yu Xiaogang watched them leave, filled with despair.
Suddenly, an idea came to him. "Don't go! Take me with you!"
"I confess! I lied about food and drink! I'm willing to go to jail!"
The sheriff didn't even pause, saying, "Jail is for criminals; your little dispute doesn't warrant it."
Before he finished speaking, he walked out the door and disappeared completely.
Yu Xiaogang stood frozen in place, the sound of footsteps approaching from all around.
Before he could react, a thick, fleshy hand slapped him on the back of the head, making him stumble.
"Run? Where do you think you're going!" The fat boss rolled up his sleeves.
"He's broke but still dares to act like a big shot! Brothers, teach him a lesson!"
"what!!!"
"No!"
"Don't pull down my pants!"
Chapter 254 I need some leftovers and scraps... and then pour thick swill on top!
The skinny owner of the tailor shop was the first to act, leading his employees to pounce on Yu Xiaogang and strip him of his clothes one by one.
First, it was Dai Mubai's dress, then Salas's tie, and even his belt and boots weren't spared!
Only wearing underwear!
It wasn't that the tailor shop owner was kind-hearted and left him some to cover up his shame.
Taking used underwear back and reselling it, wouldn't that ruin the brand's reputation?
"Ahhh!" Yu Xiaogang frantically covered his body, his face full of terror.
But then, his wig was grabbed!
"Wait, that one won't do!"
Before he could struggle, the skinny boss simply yanked the wig away.
Whoosh!
His shiny bald head was exceptionally reflective!
"Do not--!!!"
"My cool hairstyle!"
Without a wig to cover it up, Yu Xiaogang's bald head was on full display.
Those who previously thought he was a handsome young man in his middle age were now nauseous.
"Ugh! I was actually staring at him! My eyes!"
"Damn, what a greasy pig's head! I actually admired him!"
"Guards! Gouge out my eyes and feed them to the neighbor's dog as a snack!"
"You've gone too far!" Yu Xiaogang trembled all over.
"Have you all forgotten that I am also a Soul Master!"
"His farts are like thunder, deafening and earth-shattering!"
Yu Xiaogang roared, and a fat, purple pig-like creature emerged, its rear end sticking up high.
"Oh no!" Xing Shuo was not surprised.
Only Laila remained calm, saying, "Guest, thank you for your trouble."
"Alright!" A Soul Saint-level aura surged forth.
Luo Sanpao's raised buttocks instantly collapsed, emitting a terrified whimper.
Yu Xiaogang was dumbfounded.
Lila sneered, "You don't actually think that such a large enterprise of mine has no powerful backers, do you?"
"Guest Elder, please seal his soul power!"
"Good!" The Soul Saint Guest Elder made a move, patting Yu Xiaogang twice, and he became no different from an ordinary person.
Seeing that there were no more concerns, the fat owner of the tavern rolled up his sleeves himself.
"Damn it, not only did he cheat me, but he also tried to hit me?"
"Beat him!"
In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Yu Xiaogang deeply experienced the journey from heaven to hell!
He was pinned to the ground, punched three times in the face, and kicked twice in the lower back!
After the people who had hit him dispersed, cursing and swearing, he curled up in the corner.
She was only wearing a worn-out bra and tattered straw sandals thrown to her by the hotel owner.
Of course, these straw sandals were only a loan.
Because Yu Xiaogang needs to work here to pay off his debts!
"Starting today, you'll be washing dishes in the back kitchen!"
"If you can't settle the accounts in one month, then try two months; if two months isn't enough, then try a year!"
"If you dare to run, I'll break your legs!"
Yu Xiaogang was carried to the back kitchen and thrown into a corner.
He leaned against the cold stove, his whole body aching and grimacing.
But once he caught his breath, looking at the greasy dishes in the kitchen and the rotten vegetable leaves in the corner, he inexplicably felt a sense of relief.
Washing dishes is fine, it's better than standing at the entrance of a brothel dressed as a pimp and soliciting customers!
He consoled himself, rolled up his sleeves, and started working.
At dinner time, while the other guys were happily eating their hot meals around the table, he was still washing the waist-high iron pot.
Finally, when it was time to close, he dragged his aching arms to the manager to beg for a meal.
"Let's order." The manager said expressionlessly.
Yu Xiaogang was secretly moved; there are still many good people in the world!
Someone actually let him order food for free when he was down on his luck!
"I want some ham and eggs, a good piece of fried beef steak, all the side dishes, and a generous amount of sauce," Yu Xiaogang said expectantly.
The manager rolled his eyes. "No."
Yu Xiaogang was stunned. "But you let me order..."
"Oh," the manager exclaimed in surprise, "you just order what I tell you to order!"
"Start over!"
Yu Xiaogang had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, "Noodles..."
"no!"
"Steamed buns..."
"no!"
