Chapter 109: Kindred Spirits
"Since Mr. Du is so straightforward, I won’t beat around the bush either!" Bai Shishi picked up the check under the Moutai bottle and put it in her bag.
She swayed as she picked up the white bottle of Moutai on the table, opened the cap, and a burst of alcohol aroma immediately spread in the room.
Lin Tian intended to stop her, after all, it’s generally not good for Bai Shishi to drink too much; he even felt the urge to drink on her behalf.
But then he thought, Bai Shishi wouldn’t do anything rash.
If she said she’d drink a bottle, she surely had the confidence to do so.
At worst, if she gets drunk later, he could just take her back.
As for the things at the drinking table, it’s the grievance between her and Du Dahai, best not to meddle.
Who knows, speaking wrongly may cause trouble.
"Watch closely, Mr. Du!"
When she finished speaking, Bai Shishi placed her red lips to the bottle mouth of the Moutai and tilted her head to pour the liquor into her mouth.
Gurgle! Gurgle!
Lin Tian watched Bai Shishi drink the entire bottle of baijiu and could feel the burn going from his throat to his stomach.
Not to mention Bai Shishi, who was the one drinking the whole bottle.
After finishing off a bottle of Moutai, Bai Shishi pointed the bottle mouth at the table.
After two or three drops of baijiu dripped out, there was no more sound.
The bottle of baijiu had been completely emptied.
"Good, that’s refreshing!" Du Dahai loudly praised on the surface.
Inside, he felt darkness; damn... wasn’t this woman about to get drunk?
How could she still drink a whole bottle!!!
If Bai Shishi couldn’t drink the whole bottle, Du Dahai had already thought of words to take back the thirty-two million check.
But now, Bai Shishi gave him no chance to even open his mouth.
He even felt like he’d been set up.
Could it be Bai Shishi was pretending to be drunk to lure him into doing this?
"Mr. Du, my head is really spinning, let’s call it a day, I’m heading back!" Bai Shishi said with a pained expression.
Upon hearing Bai Shishi was leaving, Du Dahai hurriedly spoke up, "Oh no, drink a little more!"
"I can’t, I really can’t drink anymore!" Bai Shishi stood up, about to head out.
Seeing this, Lin Tian immediately helped support the wavering Bai Shishi.
"Wait wait, Miss Bai, I haven’t drunk to my fill yet!" Du Dahai stood up at the door, blocking Bai Shishi and Lin Tian’s way.
At this time, Bai Shishi was already completely collapsed on Lin Tian, eyes tightly closed, motionless.
Lin Tian lifted Bai Shishi around her waist, inhaling her strong smell of alcohol, and his anger began to rise slowly.
"Mr. Du, Miss Bai is already this drunk, do you think she can still drink?" At this point, Lin Tian stood up.
"What does a little errand boy like you have to do with matters between me and Bai Shishi?" Du Dahai’s face flushed, eyes widened in anger like a drunken man.
Lin Tian was rather helpless; reasoning with a drunk would definitely not work.
He could only cast a plea for help at the young man in white who was accompanying Du Dahai in the room.
"My boss is already this drunk, keeping her here serves no purpose, unless you plan to harm Miss Bai?"
This sentence, Lin Tian asked in a tone of rhetorical question and suspicion.
If this was truly a Hongmen Banquet, the real action was about to start.
The young man in white just stood there, not speaking, nor showing any expression.
"Looks like Bai Shishi doesn’t discipline her subordinates well. Today I’ll take over for Miss Bai and handle you, this bold guy!" Du Dahai said as he took out his phone to call someone.
"Hai!"
The young man in white suddenly stepped up to stop Du Dahai.
"What are you doing? Rebelling?" Du Dahai glared at the young man in white.
"Hai!" The young man in white still wouldn’t let go, saying in a deep voice, "You’ve drunk too much!"
Du Dahai and the young man in white stared at each other for a long time.
"Indeed, I’ve drunk too much!" Finally, Du Dahai was the first to relent.
This scene left Lin Tian a bit bewildered.
A general to a soldier, and the general caved first.
What’s going on here?
Originally, Lin Tian sought the young man in white for help, believing the other was also a smart person.
But he didn’t expect to witness this little drama.
And this drama left Lin Tian dumbfounded.
Could it be this young man in white has some dirt on Du Dahai?
This speculation was quickly interrupted by Du Dahai’s voice: "Alright, take her away!"
"But I hope whatever happens later, Bai Shishi gets to know about it!" Du Dahai coldly threatened Lin Tian.
"Don’t worry, Mr. Du, I’m tight-lipped; I’ll speak of what should be spoken, and keep to myself what shouldn’t be!" Lin Tian left a sentence behind, hurriedly carrying Bai Shishi out.
Afraid that Du Dahai would change his mind in a moment.
As soon as Lin Tian and Bai Shishi left, the young man in white closed the room door and handed a cigarette to Du Dahai.
"Why did you let them go?" Du Dahai glared at the young man in white, questioning him.
"Hai, you’ve already given the money to Bai Shishi, and Bai Shishi has drunk the liquor, so it’s a done deal. Keeping her here serves no purpose unless you really plan to eliminate her completely!" The young man in white lit Du Dahai’s cigarette.
"Taking three hundred and twenty million from me, having one night with Bai Shishi would be worth it for me!" Du Dahai finally revealed why he was unwilling to let Bai Shishi go.
"That’s just wishful thinking on your part, Hai. If you had your way with Bai Shishi, I can guarantee the next day we’d have a fight to the death with Bai Shishi’s people, and ultimately the bystander would reap the benefits!"
"I know, but I just can’t swallow this!" Having suffered losses to Bai Shishi several times, and even having to fear that mysterious star student, Du Dahai was immensely disgruntled!
The young man in white smiled lightly: "Compared to that non-existent star student Lin Tian, I find the young man who came with Bai Shishi just now more interesting!"
"Young man? You mean that guy just now?" Du Dahai’s eyes carried surprise; he absolutely didn’t expect the young man in white to say something like that.
"For some reason, I feel a kind of mutual appreciation towards him, as if we are the same kind of person!" The young man in white expressed his initial impression upon seeing Lin Tian.
"Don’t joke around!"
"Who in all of Kanyue City doesn’t know of your abilities, White Wuchang?"
"How could that kid possibly be the same kind of person as you?"
Du Dahai laughed, laughed very happily, feeling like the young man in white was telling a joke.
"In any case, we should still be cautious and best find someone to investigate that young man’s background!" The young man in white reminded.
"Alright, I got it!" Du Dahai agreed with his words, but in truth, it went in one ear and out the other, never taking it to heart.
"So what should we do next?" Du Dahai asked.
"Develop stably, don’t make a move on Bai Shishi for now. I need to personally investigate a few things!" The young man in white finished speaking, opened the door, and left.
Leaving Du Dahai alone in the room quietly smoking.
When the cigarette burned out, Du Dahai stood up, flicked the cigarette butt on the ground, sparks flying: "Bai Shishi! Take the thirty-two million as me leaving it with you for now!"
"One day, I’ll make sure you return it with interest!"
"Hmph hmph!"
The room filled with cigarette smoke, the alcohol scent intoxicating, residual warmth lingering on the table.
The overlord has yet to claim his throne, more time is needed, awaiting the right opportunity!
