Chapter 124 Of course, the stronger the drink, the better
"Hall Master, I just wanted to give you a heads up, so you could be mentally prepared."
After saying that, Lone Wolf hung up the phone.
Su Chen's hand holding the phone also drooped, his face ghastly pale like a frostbitten eggplant.
"Su bro, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Meng Shan passed by, glanced at Su Chen, noticed something was off, and hastily asked with concern.
"I'm fine, just go about your business!"
Su Chen waved his hand, appearing very impatient.
"Alright then, Su bro, call me if you need anything."
Meng Shan could see that his mood wasn't too good, so he walked away gloomily.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"What should I do now?"
Su Chen murmured to himself, frowning deeply.
Not having contacted her for such a long time was bad enough, let alone if Eniel found out he was already married.
Actually, Su Chen did miss her quite a bit, but he had no idea what kind of earth-shattering thing that woman might do.
It was entirely possible that if her princess temper flared up, she could go straight for Lin Ruoxue's life.
For the next half a day, Su Chen was in a state of anxious anticipation, so worried that he even failed to notice when it was time to leave work.
This was absolutely unprecedented for Su Chen, who never stayed in the office a minute longer than necessary.
Today Su Chen felt rather gloomy and really wanted a drink, so he drove to Ye Mei's bar.
"How come you're here?"
At that moment, Ye Mei was on the first floor of the bar, instructing a waiter on something when she saw Su Chen suddenly appear and couldn't help but feel curious, since it had been some days since they had seen each other.
"Here for a drink," Su Chen forced a smile, then knocked on the bar, "A glass of rum."
The waiter quickly placed the drink on the bar, and Su Chen picked it up and downed it in one go:
"Another one."
"This drink is too strong, maybe you should switch to something else," Ye Mei said softly, seeing that his mood wasn't too good and gently persuading him.
"What's the point of drinking if not to drink something strong?"
Su Chen chuckled, took the glass, and gulped down a large mouthful.
After drinking a bit, Su Chen's mood slightly improved.
"Then I'll join you."
Ye Mei snatched the glass straight from Su Chen's hand and finished the remaining half in one go.
"Cough cough!"
Ye Mei, having her first taste of such strong liquor, and a half-glass at that, started coughing right after finishing it, tears nearly welling up, feeling a burning sensation in her throat.
"If you're not used to it, why insist on taking my drink?"
Su Chen shook his head and laughed, well aware that Ye Mei was worried about him drinking too much.
"I really don't get why you like such strong drinks. They don't taste good at all," Ye Mei said with reddened eyes.
"This is a man's drink, not meant for you women to consume."
"Didn't expect you to be such a chauvinist, even dividing drinks by gender," Ye Mei glanced at him sideways, teasingly said,
"Feeling better now?"
"Much better, thanks to you," Su Chen looked into her eyes and said earnestly.
"Why so formal!" Ye Mei also started feeling a bit awkward under his gaze...
Meanwhile, in a VIP room of a nightclub in Jianghai, a young man with an extraordinary demeanor sat on a sofa, flanked by two very attractive women on either side.
Both women, who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen, were dressed in black spaghetti strap dresses.
At that moment, one of the women reached out her slender hand, feeding a grape into the young man's mouth, then extended her hand, waiting for him to spit out the seed.
The man's hands, however, were not idle, constantly roaming over the two women's bodies...
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a man with a "rabbit-like" face entered, his expression showing excitement.
"Have you no manners anymore, don't you know to knock?"
The young man pulled a face and snorted.
"Young Master, great news, great news!"
"Rabbit Face" hurried over to the young man, speaking excitedly.
"What great news?"
The young man spit the grape seed into one of the woman's hands and asked lazily.
"I have found a way to deal with that Su kid!"
"What way? Spit it out!"
Upon hearing this, the young man abruptly sat up straight.
"Rabbit Face" glanced at the two women on the sofa, hesitated, then stopped speaking.
The young man immediately understood and shooed the two women out.
"Speak, what way?"
No sooner had the women left and closed the door, the young man asked impatiently.
Thinking of that Su kid, he felt an itching hatred, wishing he could chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs!
This young man was none other than Wu Yuanpin, who had once been forced by Su Chen to lick food off the ground.
Although he hadn't gone looking for trouble with Su Chen these past days, that did not mean he had forgotten about the incident.
That incident was an enormous humiliation for him, but unfortunately, the other person was too strong, and several of the experts he sent had been injured by him.
In order not to give his elder uncle's branch of the family an opportunity to cause trouble, he didn't dare tell his family about it.
But he had been waiting for an opportunity for revenge, so naturally, he was very excited to hear there was a way to deal with that guy!
"Young Master, do you know about the Dark World?"
"Rabbit Face" lowered his voice and looked at Wu Yuanpin with a mysterious air.
"No, what's that?"
Wu Yuanpin shook his head. The Dark World, what was that? He had never even heard of it.
"The Dark World is an order established separately from our world, where everyone is a top expert..."
Before "Rabbit Face" could finish, Wu Yuanpin interrupted him impatiently:
"What does all this have to do with dealing with that Su guy?"
"There's a top expert from the Dark World in Huaxia right now, we can pay him to take care of that Su fellow!"
Despite being interrupted, "Rabbit Face" didn't dare show any displeasure and directly stated his idea.
"Paying someone to do it is fine, but Su is so skilled... Are you sure that person can handle him?"
Wu Yuanpin still remembered the black-robed man mentioning that Su's strength was probably comparable to the three Rank Leaders of the family. He was doubtful whether the person in question had sufficient skill.
"You can rest assured, Young Master. In the Dark World, there are two lists, the Black List and the Sky List, which rank the world's assassins. The man I mentioned goes by 'Ghost' and ranks sixteen on the Black List, his skill is more than enough to kill that Su!"
"And how does this person compare to the three Rank Leaders of our family?"
While the man sounded quite formidable, Wu Yuanpin remained cautious, as he was not clear about the true level of strength of the Black List's sixteenth rank.
For a clear reference, he asked how this person measured up against the three Rank Leaders of the family, especially since the black-robed man had claimed Su's strength was on par with them.
If this individual's strength surpassed the three Rank Leaders, then dealing with Su would naturally not be a problem.
As Wu Yuanpin's close follower, "Rabbit Face" was well aware of the family's three Rank Leaders.
Upon hearing Wu Yuanpin's question, "Rabbit Face" displayed a hint of scorn:
"Those three Rank Leaders are far behind when compared to him, they're not even fit to carry his shoes!"
