for Advance Chapter
Fan Long fell off the stage and looked at Chen Xiao deeply. His eyes revealed a chilling look like a knife blade, but Chen Xiao seemed not to see it at all. He had put his hands in his pockets again and still looked nonchalant.
Fan Long quickly walked back to the Taipei City police and whispered something into the ear of the leader there. The leader seemed a little surprised and asked Fan Long a few more questions. Finally, he nodded helplessly and stood up.
"We give up!"
The field was a little quiet at first, but soon there was a huge cheer from Jianghai. On the other hand, the atmosphere in Beishi was depressed, and many people looked frustrated and unconvinced.
Director Zhao turned around and said to Xia Yubing with a smile, "Your friend is quite extraordinary."
Xia Yubing's face was also filled with undisguised pride. If someone else had said that, she might have boasted about Chen Xiao. However, Director Zhao was her leader and a familiar elder. His words were full of meaning, leaving Xia Yubing at a loss for words. She could only perfunctorily say, "I've only known him for a short time, so we're not that familiar..."
Director Zhao smiled and said, "If you get to know each other more often, you'll become familiar with each other. You're already a grown-up girl. You're always hot-tempered, just like a boy. It's time for you to think about your lifelong affairs. If you meet a good one, don't hesitate..."
"Director..."
Xia Yubing opened her eyes and shouted angrily, "What are you talking about?"
"Oh, you're still angry." Director Zhao glanced at Chen Xiao who was walking down the stage with a smile and encouraged him, "Our hero has come down, why don't you go and comfort him?"
Xia Yubing snorted, "I'm giving him face by not going after him..."
Director Zhao coughed lightly and said, "Chen Xiao, my previous promise is still valid. If there is anything you need my help with, as long as it does not violate the law, I will definitely fulfill my promise."
Chen Xiao smiled and nodded, and wrote down Director Zhao's phone number. Since he lived in Jianghai, he might be able to use it. Although Chen Xiao had his own connections, Director Zhao was the powerful figure in Jianghai. Why not refuse a favor that came to his door? After all, he had just worked hard for it.
Chen Xiao turned around to look at the jubilant crowd, frowned slightly, and said, "Xia Yubing, do you have anything else to do? If so, how about we contact you another day?"
Xia Yubing snorted and said, "Don't even think about running away. I told you I'm going to drink you to death today."
Chen Xiao smiled bitterly. Xia Yubing turned to Director Zhao and said, "Director, I won't be going to the dinner party..."
Director Zhao glanced at Chen Xiao with a smile, waved his hand at Xia Yubing and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. Chen Xiao is the hero of our Jianghai police today. You have to toast him a few more glasses for me..."
Director Zhao turned around and said to Chen Xiao, "Xiaobing is my niece. You have to take good care of her for me. If she gets drunk, remember to take her home. If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you responsible."
Chen Xiao complained in his heart, what could possibly happen to a female Tyrannosaurus like her? If something really happened, it would be someone else who would be in trouble.
"Okay, don't worry, Director Zhao, there will be absolutely no problem."
Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Xiao and Xia Yubing left the club side by side.
"Where are you going?"
Facing Chen Xiao's question, Xia Yubing snorted, "Didn't you say you would treat me to a meal?"
Chen Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "I'm treating you to a meal, but I'm not familiar with this area and don't know of any good places. How about this, you choose the place and I'll pay."
Xia Yubing didn't bother to be polite with Chen Xiao and nodded readily: "Okay, let's go, I'll drive."
When Chen Xiao got into Xia Yubing's car, Xia Yubing didn't start the car immediately. Instead, she stared at Chen Xiao with a strange tone: "Chen Xiao, what did you do in your past? Why are you so powerful? When you were angry the other day, you gave people a very cruel feeling. Have you ever killed anyone?"
Chen Xiao casually said, "I served in the army for a few years and spent two years abroad. I met an old man who taught me boxing. So, I don't know anything else, but I'm okay at fighting..."
Xia Yubing saw that Chen Xiao didn't seem to want to talk about the past, and gave ambiguous answers when asked. He rolled his eyes and thought of a solution. He concentrated on driving, but he sneered in his heart.
People say that the truth comes out when drunk. Once I get you drunk, I don't believe you won't confess!
The dining place was not too far from the club, but what surprised Chen Xiao was that Xia Yubing did not come to a high-end hotel, but a roadside shop that looked a bit old.
Seeing Chen Xiao's puzzled expression, Xia Yubing swiftly backed the car into a temporary parking space on the side of the road while explaining, "The crucible here is quite unique. It's just as good as those in big restaurants, and it's even cheaper..."
Chen Xiao laughed and said, "Are you worried that I won't have enough money to pay for the hotel?"
Xia Yubing glared at Chen Xiao and said, "I'm worried that you won't have the money to pay the bill, and I'll be embarrassed. Besides, looking at how lazy you are, and you're in the sales department, it's a wonder you can get any business, and how can your income be high?"
Chen Xiao was immediately displeased: "Hey, how can you beat around the bush like that? Just eat as much as you can, and I don't believe you can eat too much."
The two walked in and asked for a small private room. Xia Yubing didn't even ask Chen Xiao what he liked to eat. She picked up the menu and ordered quickly. It seemed that she was quite familiar with this place. Putting down the menu, Xia Yubing casually asked, "Beer or white wine?"
Chen Xiao lit a cigarette, looked at the powerful Xia Yubing, and said with a smile, "Beer makes you bloated, let's drink some white wine. But first, let me make it clear, drink less. Director Zhao said that if you drink and get into trouble, he will come to me."
"Two bottles first, then."
Xia Yubing did not order Moutai or Wuliangye, but ordered two bottles of average-priced liquor. Chen Xiao watched Xia Yubing ordering food and wine in a hurry, and he felt more favorable towards her.
Although Xia Yubing has a hot temper and is easily ignited, and is usually careless, she is still very upright in her heart, and she also has her delicate side. Although it seems that she ordered a lot of dishes, except for the two signature crucibles, the others are some simple side dishes. Together with two bottles of wine, it doesn't cost much money. After all, Xia Yubing is still helping Chen Xiao save money.
After a while, the wine came up.
Xia Yubing's eyes lit up, and she opened the wine very quickly. Then she took the initiative to fill Chen Xiao's glass and raised her own glass.
"Come, to thank you for your help today, have a drink first!"
Chen Xiao looked at the wine glass in front of him, which was full of 200 grams. He didn't rush to raise his glass. Instead, he stared at Xia Yubing with a smile: "You are really planning to drink me to death?"
Seeing that Chen Xiao didn't raise his glass, Xia Yubing suddenly became anxious and said provocatively: "Hey, why are you so slow? I'm a woman and I didn't say anything. How can you, a grown man, not be decisive at all? Why are you acting like a woman..."
Chen Xiao laughed secretly. He had already figured out that Xia Yubing didn't even attend the party today, and was eager to drink with him. It was obvious that she wanted to embarrass him at the table.
"Okay, drink it. If a woman doesn't get drunk, a man won't stand a chance. If you're not afraid, why should I be afraid?"
Chen Xiao raised his glass and made a casual remark. Xia Yubing scoffed at Chen Xiao's words and snorted, "You'll have to be able to get me drunk to do that."
The two of them clinked their glasses and drank the two taels of white wine in one gulp.
Just after finishing, Xia Yubing raised the bottle again and filled both of their glasses attentively. Chen Xiao noticed Xia Yubing's face. After drinking two taels of white wine, there was not much change. His eyes were clear. It seemed that Xia Yubing could drink quite a lot. No wonder he dared to be so arrogant. But after meeting him today, he was probably doomed to be disappointed.
Xia Yubing originally wanted to continue to force Chen Xiao to drink, but she thought that she couldn't do it too obviously. Besides, if he drank two taels of wine in one gulp, Xia Yubing could still withstand it, but if he did it several times in a row, she wouldn't be able to bear it either.
The dishes they ordered came up one after another. They ate and drank at the same time. The dishes tasted really good. Chen Xiao was not polite and ate them in no time at all, without caring about his image at all.
Xia Yubing was thinking about how to get Chen Xiao drunk. On the one hand, she could watch him make a fool of himself and vent her anger. On the other hand, she could ask him what she wanted to know, especially about Chen Xiao's background. Xia Yubing had always been curious. She didn't doubt that Chen Xiao was a murderer or a fugitive, but she intuitively felt that Chen Xiao's past was definitely not as simple as he said...
Xia Yubing kept urging Chen Xiao to drink, and he accepted all the offers. Anyway, he had seen through Xia Yubing's purpose, so he just drank it to prevent her from giving up.
The two people clinked their glasses together, and soon, both bottles of liquor were finished. In total, each of them had drunk a bottle of liquor.
Xia Yubing's face was flushed and her eyes were a little blurry. Even though she hadn't reached her limit, she was already a little tipsy because she drank too fast.
After shaking the empty bottle, Xia Yubing put it down heavily and looked up, calling out, "Boss, two more bottles."
Chen Xiao was like, this girl is crazy! Two more bottles. Even if he could still handle it, looking at Xia Yubing's expression, she would definitely get drunk. Besides, drinking white wine is very uncomfortable. Although he understood Xia Yubing's intention to get herself drunk, Chen Xiao still waved his hand and said, "Just drink enough. I can't drink much anymore. How about we just call it a day?"
Chen Xiao meant well, but Xia Yubing's eyes lit up when he heard him say he couldn't drink anymore, and he slammed the table, "How can a man say no? Boss, bring some wine!"
Seeing Xia Yubing's sudden excitement, Chen Xiao knew that he had done something superfluous.
Although he was very unhappy with Xia Yubing's behavior, she was a nice person, so Chen Xiao didn't want her to get drunk. On the one hand, it would be uncomfortable to get drunk, and on the other hand, if she got drunk, he would have to take her home by himself. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
"Xia Yubing, I know you want to get me drunk and make me look ridiculous, but I can drink quite well. Even if I drink two kilograms of liquor, I won't get drunk, so don't bother with me."
Chen Xiao decided to be honest about his alcohol tolerance, thinking that Xia Yubing would probably give up, but he was wrong again.
Xia Yubing obviously did not believe what Chen Xiao said, or maybe she was more convinced of what Chen Xiao said before, "He can't drink anymore." At this time, what Chen Xiao said seemed more credible to Xia Yubing as a bluff.
Two bottles of wine were brought up quickly, and Xia Yubing opened them both in one breath without hesitation.
"No matter how much you can drink, we're going to drink to our heart's content today, and we won't leave until we're drunk!" Xia Yubing picked up the bottle and filled their glasses. "You're a good person, running around on a moonlit night and beating up your boss just for a colleague. It's okay even if you get drunk."
Xia Yubing's words were half true and half false. On the one hand, she wanted to persuade Chen Xiao to continue drinking, but on the other hand, it was also her true feelings. Although she disliked Chen Xiao in every aspect, she subjectively thought that Chen Xiao was a good person.
Are you a good person?
Chen Xiao touched his nose and smiled a little strangely. Is he a good person?
I have caused countless deaths on my hands. Of course, many of them are sins that cannot be redeemed even by death, but there are also some that cannot be considered bad people. It's just that when they were carrying out their missions, there was only enemy and friend, no distinction between good guys and bad guys.
Even because of me, Long Fei died, leaving his sister alone...
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a little sad. Before Xia Yubing could raise her glass, he raised it and drank it all...
