C72 How Reckless
0"Originally, Zhao Ji wanted to set up a feast to welcome you at my house. However, I did not agree. After all, I felt uncomfortable when I saw that guy."
Zhao Ji replied carelessly without thinking too much into it.
After hearing this, Lin Yuan's impression of this guy changed and he was impressed.
He stuck out his thumb.
"From now on, you are my good friend, but anyone who scolds Zhao Ji is my friend."
"You're the son-in-law that visited us, right?"
Lin Yuan maintained a smile on his face. He took a deep breath and his good impression disappeared. This guy really doesn't know how to talk.
"I'll tell you guys in advance, this time there's really no other way. Guo Zimei gave me a written invitation from an ancient calligraphy expert, so I agreed to treat you guys to a meal."
"He has always had ideas about you. You know very well that you'd better be careful during dinner time. However, I believe that Lin Yuan shouldn't have any problems since he's your husband."
Lin Yuan nodded with a smile, but the corner of his mouth curved up slightly. A light flashed across his eyes. The person in front of him seemed to be pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. What he said just now seemed to be hinting at something.
However, he did not say much.
Who Guo Zimei was did not have anything to do with him. He just wanted to see what else Zhao Ji was up to. After all, it was annoying for a fly to buzz non-stop at the side.
"Thanks for the reminder."
Then, they hurried to the Dihao Hotel.
When they arrived, Zhao Pingtian was already standing at the entrance. When he saw the person, he walked over with a smile on his face.
"Before, I was blind to not recognize Mt. Tai. I never would have thought that brother was actually a hidden expert. He broke my plan so easily and even managed to turn the tables on me."
"Although I, Zhao Pi, am not a good person, I am not stupid. From now on, we will stick to the river's waters. What do you think?"
Bai Shuang found it hard to believe as she listened to his words. She felt that the person standing in front of her, Zhao Pingtian, was a completely different person.
Lin Yuan didn't say anything, he obviously didn't believe those words. Rather than believing those words, he might as well believe the old sow.
Guo Zimei, who was following them, was standing off to the side. Maybe he didn't even hear these words. Zhao Ji didn't care too much about it. After all, Guo Zimei was famous for being eccentric and had never been in the same circle as them.
"I've reserved room number 2, VIP booth 1, on the top floor. I have no other choice, I hope the two esteemed guests can forgive me."
Of course, Lin Yuan knew that Hall 1 was not accessible to just anyone. Only the internal staff of War God's store could use Hall 1, and this Hall 1 was not open to the public.
However, he was quite surprised that Zhao Ji was able to order a table in room number 2. Logically speaking, as a young disciple, even the successor of the Zhao Clan didn't have such face.
"All of you go first, I'll contact the people from Dihao Hotel and take a bottle along the way. The good wine that I spent a lot of effort to get is definitely not worse than that bottle of yours last time, but it cost me so much."
After saying that, Zhao Ji left in a hurry. Lin Yuan looked at the guy's back with a calm expression, but in his heart, he was smiling disdainfully.
This was indeed a desperate situation. He must have spent a little bit of scheming just to get this bottle of wine.
On the other hand, Bai Shuang did not seem to be aware of the strangeness in his words. On the contrary, she was surprised, after all, the bottle of wine that Lin Yuan took out last time was priceless.
The group entered the private room, while Zhao Ji stood outside the door.
A person wearing a peaked cap was sneaking around with a wooden box in his hand. His eyes lit up when he saw Zhao Chuanfeng, who hurriedly rushed over with his head lowered.
"Gongzi, the thing you want has been prepared for 30 years and has been here for 30 years. You don't have to worry about it."
"Make sure you can't find any trace of it. I won't forgive you if I find out afterwards."
Don't worry, I spent a lot of money to get this thing from the black market. Most people have never heard of it, but it's colorless, tasteless, and even professional instruments can't detect it. It will also evaporate in the air over time, so you have to be careful, the medicine will slowly dissipate within an hour.
"This is the antidote. Once you drink it, you won't be affected by the knockout drug. When everyone else is unconscious, you can get what you want."
Zhao Pingtian chuckled and drank the transparent liquid in the mysterious man's hand in one gulp. Then, he smacked his lips.
"If you succeed this time, the money won't go to you, but you'd better keep your mouth shut. If I find out that you are spouting nonsense, you might not be able to keep your life."
As he said so, his eyes were ice-cold. He had never placed a single life in his eyes.
After that, he proudly turned around and left. He had finally gotten what he wanted this time.
The only effect was to reduce the body's tolerance to alcohol to a certain extreme. In other words, no matter how much alcohol one drank, one cup of wine would make one fall into a deep slumber.
The bottle of antidote Zhao Ji had just consumed was naturally unaffected.
After all, he was a 30-year-old vintage Maotai, and also a high-grade white wine. If he drank too much, he would cause trouble. That was because he had a messy nature after drinking too much and could not blame the heavens.
Bai Shuang had no choice but to confess. With such a scandal, Bai Family shouldn't be exposed to the public, and they could only honestly let Bai Shuang and Lin Yuan divorce each other. At the same time, they pinched their noses and admitted the marriage relationship between the two families.
After suffering a few times, he was already alert. He knew that Lin Yuan wasn't easy to deal with, so he spent a lot of money this time. Just the things in the liquor alone cost more than a hundred thousand.
When he returned to the room, the staff had already started serving the dishes.
"This is a good thing. 30 years of aging is not something that can be bought with money. I secretly stole it from my grandfather's room. If it wasn't to apologize to you, I wouldn't have so much courage."
Zhao Ji opened the bottle as he spoke. It was still sealed. After opening it, the aroma of the wine permeated the air. Even Guo Zimei couldn't help but reveal an astonished expression as he stared at the wine cup.
Everyone had filled their cups to the brim. After filling them to the brim, Zhao Jin did not say a word and just drank the entire cup. His face was starting to turn slightly red.
"This goblet of wine will be treated as a form of apology and punishment wine. I'll drink it first, you guys can drink as much as you want."
Lin Yuan didn't take a glance at the wine in the cup. He was already confident that the wine must have been tampered with as he watched Zhao Pingtian act this way.
Bai Shuang frowned slightly. However, Zhao Pingtian lowered his posture so much that it was hard to tell what he was thinking. He had to drink the wine in front of him no matter what.
However, before he could get close to the glass, he found the glass in front of him was being held by Lin Yuan. In front of him, there were two full glasses placed on his left and right.
"My wife is too weak to drink. Besides, how can I let a woman drink? I'll drink this cup of wine."
Zhao Ji's gaze was fixated on Bai Shuang earlier. His heartbeat quickened when he saw Bai Shuang reaching out her hand. However, it was this damned Lin Yuan who came out.
"What do you mean? If there is anything in the wine, I've already had a drink. Could it be that I don't even have this much face anymore? Since that's the case, I'll leave now. In the future, don't talk about cooperation. "
Zhao Pingyi's words were generous and forceful. It was a mixture of grievance and anger, as well as a bit of threat. It was truly a flawless performance. Even Bai Shuang dispelled the doubts in her heart.
He clearly hadn't opened that bottle of wine for 30 years, so it was impossible for him to drug it. Plus, even if he tried his best to drug it, he still drank it.
The fragrance of the wine wafted in the air. Indeed, there was no odour and the color was normal. No matter who it was, this was a top grade wine. Lin Yuan lowered his head and took a sip.
"Wine is indeed good wine, but do you really think I can't see through it?"
