Chapter 315 Refusal to Admit to Bet
Chapter 315 Refusal to Admit to Bet
Seeing this, Liu Tianliu's companion quickly tugged at his sleeve and whispered something.
"Old Liu, why don't we just admit it? Making a big fuss about this won't do us any good."
But Liu Tianliu was filled with resentment and shame, and he was not about to give in easily. He suddenly shook off his companion's hand and glared at him angrily.
"What's there to admit! I, Liu Tianliu, am not afraid of a few girls."
Just as the two sides were deadlocked, the staff of the escape room rushed over. Seeing the tense atmosphere, they quickly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
Liu Tianliu, as if grasping at a lifeline, spoke first.
"Your secret room design is flawed. It trapped us in there for so long, and we almost couldn't get out. Now, they're making things difficult for me. This bet is off!"
He tried to shift the blame to the secret room and confuse the issue.
Song Qianyi remained calm and recounted the events that had transpired in the secret room to the staff in detail, with clear logic and solid evidence, which earned frequent nods of approval from the staff.
Finally, she looked at Liu Tianliu and said sarcastically.
"What, you're afraid to take responsibility for your own choices, and instead you're blaming the secret room? You're really something."
After understanding the situation, the staff could only shrug helplessly.
"This bet was made privately by you, and we can't interfere. However, it's not good to cause trouble here and affect the experience of other customers."
The implication was that they should be left to resolve the issue themselves.
Seeing that the staff wouldn't intervene, Liu Tianliu steeled himself and decided to completely renege on his promise.
He raised his chin, his eyes revealing a hint of roguishness, and said loudly.
"I'm not honoring this bet today, so what can you do about it?"
Song Qianyi's eyes burned with rage; she never imagined that Liu Tianliu could be so shameless.
"Liu Tianliu, do you really think we can't do anything to you?"
She gritted her teeth and spoke slowly and deliberately, her voice filled with a chilling coldness.
Shi Yu and the others were so angry that their faces turned red. They rolled up their sleeves, ready to argue with Liu Tianliu to the end.
At this moment, the other challengers gathered around, pointing and whispering among themselves as they looked at Liu Tianliu.
"This guy is so tasteless, he won't admit defeat after losing."
"Exactly. He looked so pathetic inside just now, but now he's acting all tough."
These words pierced Liu Tianliu's ears like needles, making his face turn pale and then red, but he just wouldn't give in.
Song Qianyi's eyes burned with rage; she was not one to swallow this insult easily.
She glanced around at her surroundings, her gaze landing on a huge electronic billboard at the entrance of the escape room, and an idea instantly formed in her mind.
She walked a few steps to the staff member's side and spoke in a low but authoritative voice.
"Could you please lend me control of this billboard for a moment, right now?"
The staff member looked hesitant and was about to refuse when Song Qianyi immediately took out a card and added.
"Don't worry, I will give your store a satisfactory explanation afterward. Besides, you don't want this farce to keep happening in front of your store and affect your business, do you?"
The staff member looked at the black card in front of her and, without hesitation, handed over the operating authority to her.
Song Qianyi quickly started operating on her phone.
A short while later, the large screen that had been playing the escape room advertisement suddenly displayed high-definition footage of the previous bet, Liu Tianliu and his companions' various embarrassing situations in the passageway, and their current attempt to renege on their promise.
The video was also accompanied by eye-catching subtitles.
"Look at this guy, he lost the bet and is now trying to renege on it. Where is his credibility?"
This immediately caused an uproar among those around them.
The challengers, who had been whispering amongst themselves, now gathered around, pointing and gesturing at the big screen, uttering bursts of laughter and mockery.
"This person is so shameless!"
"Exactly! Daring to do something but not daring to admit it, that's a disgrace to men!"
A torrent of harsh words rushed toward Liu Tianliu, his face instantly turning ashen, and his body trembled slightly involuntarily.
Song Qianyi crossed her arms and slowly walked up to Liu Tianliu, her eyes as cold as ice blades in the dead of winter, piercing straight at him.
"Liu Tianliu, didn't you think you could get away with this by cheating? Now, everyone in the store, no, anyone who passes by here, can see your ugly face."
"If you don't honor your bet, I'll spread this video all over social media and make you a pariah, hated by everyone!"
Liu Tianliu stared wide-eyed at the images scrolling across the large screen, his heart filled with regret and shock.
He never expected that Song Qianyi would be so decisive and ruthless, showing him no mercy whatsoever.
