Chapter 561: The Plot is Revealed
Some reasonable people naturally disliked the bar and immediately spoke up to help, as they really didn’t want to see the bar closed down simply because the owner hadn’t come forward in time. Speaking now was in their own interest too.
"Everyone, rest assured, we are fair and just here. Who’s right and who’s wrong, we’ll know once we check the surveillance. It’s true that our bar’s security hasn’t been up to scratch. Our security team is still in training and hasn’t been able to timely receive everyone’s reports, disrupting your prime time of enjoyment."
"Here’s what I’ll do—I’ll send a few rounds of good drinks to each table and apologize to everyone. Please return to your seats and continue to enjoy yourselves. There’s no need to continue gathering here. Once this issue is resolved, I’ll announce the outcome through the broadcast later," Shen Dong said with a stern face.
Who would be happy about such an incident? The drunkard hadn’t really intended to ruin the place; he was just venting his temper. Now that he had blurted out those words, he somewhat regretted them. It would be embarrassing if he couldn’t follow through, so he might as well pretend to calm down and share his thoughts.
"Let me tell you this, I was pushed, not falling over there because I was drunk," the drunkard declared, also to indicate that he hadn’t done anything wrong. It was the fault of those who hit him without knowing the facts.
After the brawl, those young masters realized they were wrong. How could they fight in such a place? What if they were banned from coming here again? They felt somewhat guilty and fearful, and sure enough, the next second Shen Dong spoke up.
"Fighting is strictly prohibited here. We have lots of eyes around, but our security isn’t perfect yet, which is why they couldn’t intervene today. This won’t happen again in the future. It serves as a lesson for you.
You will cover the drink tabs for the people at the surrounding tables since they were disturbed by your actions and couldn’t enjoy their drinks. Any objections? As for this gentleman, we will investigate your claim, and if it turns out you were pushed unwillingly, we will forgive your actions," Shen Dong reassured everyone, fairly and impartially.
The young masters, hearing his statement, didn’t argue further since not being kicked out and just settling some bills was better than being denied entry in the future.
Kang Yue was watching from a distance. After hearing that the surveillance footage was ready, she checked it and managed to extract the critical part. She saw someone with malicious intent actually pushing the drunkard out.
It appeared that this gentleman was telling the truth, being pushed by someone, complicating matters since there was someone engaging in such misconduct. Upon examining the footage more closely, Kang Yue recognized the guilty party—wasn’t he the dance hall owner she had seen before? It was despicable of him to stoop so low, only intending to disrupt the order here and cause panic, unknowing that these pampered young lords were merely enjoying the spectacle as bystanders.
