Capítulo 1302: Chapter 1302: Detention
The door was slammed open.
Four or five policemen barged in.
Li Shuanzhu and the woman were so frightened that they quickly wrapped themselves with the quilt.
“What are you doing?”
How could there be police?
“Police room check, show your IDs. We received a report that there are monetary and sexual transactions happening here. What’s your relationship?”
The police, upon seeing this colorful scene, knew right away that it was probably true.
Li Shuanzhu was dumbfounded.
“Officer, we are a couple, it’s not what you think.”
He was mistaken for a john.
The woman hid herself under the quilt, not daring to show her face.
Utterly disgraceful.
The policeman sneered, “Put your clothes on. If you’re a couple, then show your marriage certificate. These days, many claim to be a couple; to know if it’s true, the marriage certificate is the proof.”
Li Shuanzhu felt his heart sink.
It’s over.
The woman knew it was bad.
Where could the two of them get a marriage certificate from?
……
An hour later.
Li Shuanzhu and the woman were squatting at the police station.
They couldn’t provide a marriage certificate, and were immediately detained as an indecent couple by the police.
Because the hotel they stayed at was a well-known local establishment.
When this incident happened, the journalists, who arrived upon hearing the news, had already taken photos and published them in the local evening paper.
It created a huge uproar in no time.
Liu Hong originally made this report call to have the police make a note, possibly as evidence to provide in the future, but little did she know.
Her stroke of genius.
Kept Li Shuanzhu and that woman in the police station for a full week.
After all sorts of criticism and education.
The police finally told them that they could leave after paying a fine.
Fortunately, Li Shuanzhu had enough cash on him.
They paid 10,000 yuan in cash and finally got out.
They were disgraced.
Prepared to return to the hotel to freshen up and change clothes.
Who knew that when they reached the hotel front desk.
The staff didn’t even give them the room key; all of their belongings had been moved out of the room.
Li Xiang and Li Lu, along with those belongings, were locked in the hotel’s storage room.
There was no choice, they had been detained in the police station, and the children’s accommodation fees had long expired.
Of course, the hotel knew that the person paying was in the police station.
They didn’t mistreat the two children.
But they also couldn’t let them leave, so they provided good meals in the storage room.
Just waiting for Li Shuanzhu to come and claim them.
However, Li Shuanzhu wanting to stay at the hotel was impossible. Their hotel had made the local news; it’s a star-rated hotel that caught an indecent couple; they no longer wanted any association with such people.
Upon hearing this, Li Shuanzhu was almost fainting from anger.
What damn snobs.
He pulled out a bank card from his pocket and swiped it to pay.
“And you call this a star-rated hotel, doing things this way? Do you think I’m out of money, I’ll drown you with money. You can’t even let the kids stay until we return? Star-rated hotel, I think not much of it, I won’t stay again even if you invite me next time.”
Even if I have money, I won’t let you earn it.” Li Shuanzhu cursed angrily.
The hotel lobby manager accompanied him with a careful smile, not arguing back, their quality of service was top-notch, say whatever you want! Go ahead and keep talking.
Of course, if you have money, you are a boss.
As long as the payment is settled, you are still a god to us.
We will still provide excellent service.
The front desk clerk handed back the card, “Sir, sorry, your card can’t be used.”
With a hint of contempt in their eyes.
No money yet acting all high and mighty!
Li Shuanzhu’s face froze.
Can’t be used?
The woman was already about to break down, not taking it easy after a week spent in the police station, locked up with either thieves or traffickers, and those flirtatious women, none of them were good people.
She was bullied quite a bit, now she didn’t want to stay an extra minute.
“Honey, hurry up! I’m exhausted!”
Her sweet and charming tone was, in fact, already impatient.
Li Shuanzhu’s face darkened, switching to another card.
The staff turned their head, now handing over the card with an impatient face.
“Sir, could you please provide a usable card, this one can’t be used either.”
Li Shuanzhu was dumbfounded, how could it be.
“Impossible! How can it be unusable? Your machine must be broken! There’s still hundreds of thousands on this card, last time I came to your hotel, I paid with this card, now you tell me it’s unusable, who are you fooling!”
Li Shuanzhu felt the clerk was purposely making things hard for him.
The clerk couldn’t hold back any longer.
“Sir, it’s really not working, why wouldn’t we want to take your money when you owe us? We have no reason not to take your payment, right?”
Almost rolled their eyes, not that bored themselves.
Their manager was right next to them, they didn’t want to lose their bonus for no reason, not making this kind of trouble.
Li Shuanzhu took out the last card, this was a card in his own name with not much money on it, just a few thousand yuan.
He was already planning to transfer the money from Liu Hong’s card! But hadn’t gotten around to it yet.
Lately, he had been busy enjoying himself.
Forgotten to take care of important business.
The clerk took the card, finally able to process it.
“Sir, alright, your outstanding debt has been cleared.”
Returned the card to Li Shuanzhu.
Li Shuanzhu felt a panic, he wasn’t stupid, he realized something was wrong.
It was specifically the card with Liu Hong’s name that couldn’t be used, but the one with his own name could.
What does this mean?
Holding the bill and bank card, he walked out.
The woman hurriedly followed.
The lobby manager was anxious, “Sir, sir, you haven’t picked up your children yet. Sir!”
“I’ll be right back to pick them up, don’t worry, I’m just going to the bank next door, not going far.”
Li Shuanzhu said, exasperated.
The lobby manager shook his head, never seen such a parent.
Bringing his own children along with the mistress to have a good time.
Truly unheard of.
In this big world, there’s everything.
Ignoring the woman behind him hobbling on high heels trying to catch up, Li Shuanzhu strode over to the bank next door.
“Can you help me check, why this bank card can’t be used?”
He squeezed directly to the counter, intending to hand in the bank card.
People in line to the side weren’t happy.
“Hey, what are you doing? Aren’t you grown up enough to see everyone queuing?”
“Exactly! First come, first served, don’t you understand?”
“Go to the back, or I’ll punch you.”
People in line weren’t pleased, already criticizing Li Shuanzhu in droves.
“I have something urgent, everyone, I’m sorry! Let me do it first, I’m really in a hurry.”
Li Shuanzhu was simply dying of anxiety now.
How could those behind him agree?
“Who’s not in a hurry?”
“Exactly! I’m in a hurry to pick up my kids too, but I’m also lining up here!”
“Exactly, go back and line up, don’t think you’re special, we’re all ordinary people, everyone has something urgent, if you do it like this, won’t it be chaotic?”
No one listened to him.
The security guard, hearing the commotion, hurried over, pulling the unpopular Li Shuanzhu straight to the back of the line.
