Soon, a waiter brought two bottles of Erguotou. Li Rui took them and put them on Er Long's table. He said to Er Long, "Er Long, I said I'd treat you to a drink, so I'll definitely treat you to a drink. Unfortunately, it's not Flying Maotai. It's just an ordinary Erguotou, but you still have to drink it. You have to finish these two bottles. "
Erlong's face turned pale when he saw the two bottles of Erguotou, each of which weighed about half a kilogram. Before he even drank it, he felt that his liver had already turned green. He even began to feel nauseous and wanted to throw up immediately. He begged with a long face, "Brother, I was wrong. I admit defeat. Please forgive me. I really can't drink it. I usually can only drink half a kilogram of alcohol. These two bottles must be two kilograms …"
Li Rui didn't listen to his nonsense. He smiled at the police officer and said, "You can take him away after he finishes drinking."
The police officer understood. He nodded at one of his subordinates and said, "Let him drink. If he doesn't drink, then make him drink!"
The subordinate took a bottle of Erguotou, opened the lid, and handed it to Er Long. He said coldly, "Drink it yourself. Don't make me make you drink!"
Er Long was so scared that he was about to cry. His calves and stomach started to cramp. He looked at Li Rui pitifully and said, "Big Brother, I was wrong. Please forgive me. I really didn't know you were so powerful. If I had known, I would have …"
The subordinate's face darkened and said, "You don't want to drink, right? If you don't drink, when we get back to the station, there will be good food for you to try. "
Er Long was so scared that his face changed drastically. He didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. He quickly picked up the bottle and put it into his mouth. He hesitated with a painful expression. Then, he closed his eyes and began to gulp down the wine.
When the people in the restaurant saw this scene, although it wasn't very scary, they were still scared witless. Many people thought to themselves, "It's the police who are ruthless. No matter how ruthless the local ruffians are, they can't be as ruthless as the police."
Er Long's three companions were so scared that their faces withered. They were afraid that Li Rui would ask for six more bottles of Erguotou and give them two bottles each. That would be terrible. The three of them looked at Li Rui nervously. Seeing that he was looking at Er Long and had no intention of punishing them, they breathed a sigh of relief. They all thought that they couldn't act recklessly in the future. They thought that they were a big shot, but when they really met a big shot, they realized that they were nothing.
Er Long drank the first bottle with great difficulty. After drinking it, his face turned pale and his eyes rolled back. His body went limp and he almost fell to the ground. The policeman beside him grabbed him and sneered, "There's still one more bottle."
Er Long rolled his eyes and begged for mercy, "I can't. I really … really can't drink anymore. If … if I drink … I'll … I'll die."
The policeman sneered and opened the second bottle. He handed it to him and said, "If you don't finish it today, you'll live a good life."
Er Long looked at him with resentment. After a while, he suddenly cried and cried, "Big brother, father, ancestor, please forgive me. I won't do it again. I already know that I'm wrong. Really, I'll die if I drink anymore. Really …"
Li Rui and the other policemen looked at him with a cold smile and ignored him.
Er Long suddenly knelt on the ground and crawled two steps to Li Rui's side. He hugged his legs and wailed, "Big brother, boss, you're my brother, my father, my grandfather. Please forgive me. I really know that I'm wrong. I won't … no … uh … burp … bully people again. Please forgive me. I'm going to die from drinking too much."
Li Rui looked at him and couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. He sighed, Li Rui, Li Rui, you're always too soft-hearted. You're too soft-hearted. He said, "Okay, I'll forget about this bottle. I hope that the next time you bully people, you'll think about these two bottles of sorghum wine first."
The policeman nodded to his subordinates and the policemen escorted Er Long and the others out of the restaurant.
Li Rui walked the policeman to the door and thanked him, "I've troubled you today. Thank you for your help."
He didn't ask for the policeman's name because he knew that he had to remember this favor to his brother, Cheng Songhua. He didn't need to be too courteous to the policeman.
The policeman waved his hand and said, "Sigh, it's no trouble at all. You don't have to be courteous with us. It's just that the security here isn't good. We've made a fool of ourselves in front of you. "
The two exchanged some polite words and shook hands to say goodbye.
Li Rui watched them drive the police car away. He thought that Er Long and the others wouldn't have a good time today. After being escorted back to the police station, it was uncertain whether they would be beaten, but they would definitely be detained for a period of time. If they wanted to leave, they would have to ask their family members to pay. It could be said that they would have to compensate for both the injuries and the money. However, this was what they deserved. Who asked them to bully others? Then again, the policeman said that it wasn't troublesome, and it really wasn't troublesome. Because if they arrested the four of them, they would be able to get a sum of money from their families.
He smiled and shook his head. When he returned to the shop, he saw Chen Lihan staring at him with her beautiful eyes. He smiled and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you recognize me?" Chen Lihan asked excitedly, "I thought that you would fight with them. Who knew that you would secretly call the police? But this is pretty good. Not only did you vent your anger, but you also punished them. Pretty good, hehe." Li Rui said, "I really wanted to fight with them, but I was afraid of lowering my status and scaring you, so I could only bear with it. You don't think that I'm a coward because of this, right?" Chen Lihan shook her head and said, "No, I think that you're very mature, very steady, and very manly because of this. You took care of the other party without batting an eyelid. That's a real man. Those men who fight for no reason are like children."
Li Rui rubbed his nose in boredom and said, "Then when I beat them up in front of you last time, did you think that I was a child too?" Chen Lihan still shook her head and said, "No, I thought that you were very courageous, very brave, very powerful, and very manly. I admired you so much at that time." Li Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "I swallowed my anger. You said that I was manly, so I beat them up. You still said that I was manly. Why are you always the one saying everything?" Chen Lihan laughed and said, "Can't I? I'm praising you. " Li Rui laughed and suddenly thought of something and said, "Today's good mood has been ruined, so it doesn't count. I'll treat you another day." Chen Lihan smiled sweetly at him and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your call. I love being treated to a meal, hehe."
The meal ended there. Even if the two of them weren't full, they weren't in the mood to stay and eat. Li Rui called the waiter to settle the bill and then took Chen Lihan's car back to the city.
Before Li Rui got out of the car, Chen Lihan suddenly asked, "Does Qingman know that you're eating with me?" Li Rui's heart skipped a beat when he heard this and asked, "Does your husband know that you're eating with me?" Chen Lihan pursed her lips and said, "My husband doesn't even know you. Besides, I was the one who asked you first." Li Rui joked, "Of course I can't let Qingman know. You don't know, but she's very jealous. If she knows that I'm eating with you, even if you're my aunt in name, she'll still be jealous. I'm not going to sleep tonight." Chen Lihan laughed and said, "What are you going to do? Kneel on the washboard? "
Li Rui laughed out loud and got out of the car. He waved goodbye to her. Chen Lihan waved back and drove away.
Watching her leave, Li Rui's smile slowly disappeared and he started to ponder the meaning of her question. Was she trying to match up with him? So that she wouldn't say anything when she faces Qingman in the future? Or did she have other thoughts? For example, was she trying to find out what he thought of their relationship? Was it just a friendship or a private affair that couldn't be revealed? Thinking of this, his heart was filled with sweetness.
At eight o 'clock in the evening, Li Rui accompanied Xu Da to drink at Shengjing Hotel. Before this, he had already booked a room for Xu Da in the hotel.
After eating and drinking for a while, Xu Da took a tissue and wiped her mouth. Then she passed a paper bag from the seat beside her to Li Rui and said, "This is the money I withdrew this afternoon. Help me pass it to the friend at the Cultural Relics Bureau and tell him what I told you before."
Li Rui took the paper bag and opened it. He saw that there were stacks of money inside. After a rough count, there were exactly ten stacks. This was a total of one hundred thousand. He was shocked and said, "One hundred thousand? Isn't that too much? " Xu Da smiled and said, "Not much. For protecting Donggang Pagoda, it's not much at all. It's just a little bit of effort."
Li Rui nodded slowly and hung the paper bag on the chair behind him. He thought to himself, how should I say this brother is generous, or should I say he's rich?
The two continued to eat and drink as they exchanged their experiences during the day. Li Rui told her about Fa Yu. It wasn't that he didn't have anything to say, but Fa Yu's performance was too shocking. He was like a living immortal. When he encountered such a magical person and matter, he couldn't help but want to share it with others.
Xu Da was also skeptical. She couldn't believe that Fa Yu's divination was so powerful. She thought for a while and said, "If you want to talk about divination, I've never believed it. Maybe there were divination masters in ancient times, but in modern times, all divination techniques have been lost. Those who make money from divination are mostly scammers. But when it comes to divination, I believe it. That monk was right. Divination is definitely one of the greatest sciences in ancient times. Tomorrow, I'll go to the Bodhi Temple you mentioned to find him and let him tell my fortune. I have nothing to do anyway … "
Today, Xu Da's mood wasn't as bad as yesterday, so the two didn't drink too late. They left the restaurant around ten o 'clock. After that, Xu Da went back to her room to rest. Li Rui also went home to sleep.
