Chapter 253 Prince Zhen Nan!

Chapter 253: Chapter 253 Prince Zhen Nan!

"Mr. Zhou... I was wrong... Please spare me..."

"Liu Mo... you scoundrel... You’ve ruined the business I painstakingly built for twenty years..."

With Liu Ruitian being carried out, his voice faded away.

The disturbance caused by the three from the Liu family had finally ceased.

The birthday banquet naturally would not be stopped by this episode.

Zhou Weimin even grabbed Lin Fan’s hand and walked back to the main table.

And he directly had him sit beside himself.

"You knew that parrot was echoing everything, picking up a bunch of curses, yet you insisted on having it speak them. Were you looking to cause trouble for me on purpose? Don’t think just because you saved my life you can do whatever you want."

Zhou Weimin squinted his eyes, looking at Lin Fan, "Tonight, if you don’t drink with me until we’re merry, don’t think about leavin’ this door."

Military men usually have bold hearts.

Zhou Weimin was indeed a heroic generation.

When he grabbed a glass, he could drink like the ocean.

"It wouldn’t have evidence if it didn’t speak."

Lin Fan said with a wry smile, grabbing the liquor bottle, "However, no matter what, tonight is the old squad leader’s birthday celebration, I’ll sacrifice myself to accompany the hero, as long as the old squad leader’s liquor holds up, then I’ll drink without restraint."

"You, stop your smooth talking, my liquor can last you for years."

Zhou Weimin was naturally thrilled.

Discarding the glass and holding the bottle instead.

If they couldn’t battle it out on the field.

Then they should give it their all at the drinking table.

"Old squad leader, how could I miss out on drinking with you!"

Just as the two had started guzzling a bottle,

a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Following that, a towering figure stepped into the courtyard.

It was a man in his fifties.

His bearing full of military character denoted his upbringing.

The imposing aura of one who held high stature was evident in his strong-built and majestic presence.

Walking with the stride of a dragon and the steps of a tiger,

his back poker-straight, he approached the main table like the wind.

"To think my mere birthday would trouble Prince Zhen Nan, this is truly an offense!"

Though his words were modest, Zhou Weimin still sat upright.

Even facing Prince Zhen Nan, he had every right to remain seated.

After all, in terms of seniority and military rank, they were equals.

He had decades over him, the title of old squad leader, he rightfully owned it.

"What Prince Zhen Nan? Here is merely a commoner looking to share some drinks with the old squad leader, that’s all."

As a high-ranking official, Prince Zhen Nan Xu Kun had no airs about him.

Pulling up a chair, he directly sat opposite the two men.

At the same time, his eyes scrutinized Lin Fan.

As for the others who were initially sitting at this table, they all stood up one after another.

After all, they truly didn’t have the right to sit as equals with Prince Zhen Nan.

Only Lin Fan remained sitting there, without budging.

His gaze met Xu Kun’s head-on.

Without a hint of yielding.

"As for drinking, you’ve come to the right place, I’ve plenty of good liquor."

Zhou Weimin gave his grandsons a look.

Everyone immediately withdrew.

"This young man looks unfamiliar, old squad leader, won’t you introduce us?"

Xu Kun smiled at Lin Fan.

Just from the exchange of glances, he could tell.

This was definitely a fine soldier.

Especially behind that roguish air,

was a barely noticeable aura of lethality.

This man, was undoubtedly an elite who had crawled out of a pile of corpses.

"Truth be told, I’m not so familiar with him, so I cannot introduce him!"

Zhou Weimin smiled lightly.

Although he knew everything about Lin Fan,

it didn’t mean it wasn’t a secret.

After all, even Prince Zhen Nan had no right to be informed about the matter of the "Fang of the Wolf".

Therefore, the word "wolf" must not be mentioned by him.

"No introduction needed? Interesting..."

Prince Zhen Nan, Xu Kun, who had seen many people, revealed a smile.

Some things cannot be said, but can be guessed.

Whether it’s right or wrong doesn’t matter.

As long as he is certain of the result, then he must be from that military unit.

"He’s just a rogue soldier, after all. In front of Prince Zhen Nan, who dares to speak more? We’re all old squad leaders. One meeting is a new acquaintance; allow me to toast to the squad leader first."

Lin Fan bent down and picked up a bottle of baijiu from the alley beside his feet.

With a flick of his wrist, he threw it to Xu Kun.

"That won’t do!"

Catching the bottle of baijiu, Xu Kun interrupted Lin Fan with a wave of his hand.

At the same time, he flicked two fingers at the mouth of the bottle.

The sturdy bottle was instantly shattered.

The anti-counterfeit beads inside also fell out.

"I can shirk any bill, but not the liquor bill. I saw you two finish a bottle just now, and I was late, so of course I need to catch up. Let me match you first, then we can continue!"

No sooner had he spoken than Xu Kun tilted his head back to drink.

The one-liter bottle was swallowed in an instant.

With a casual wave, the empty bottle landed on the ground, not a drop left.

"The squad leader can truly hold his liquor, making tonight’s drinking session even more interesting."

Lin Fan had already caught a hint of strange information from the exchange of glances between Zhou Weimin and Xu Kun.

It was clear that the two were not old friends, but they definitely weren’t enemies either.

Yet both were hiding many things that couldn’t be openly discussed.

Tonight’s drinking session promised some fun.

"They say it’s hard to stop at a thousand cups of wine when with good friends. So tonight, let’s drink by military rules — everyone drinks evenly, no cheating!"

Zhou Weimin naturally knew why Prince Zhen Nan had come.

But some requests, if you can’t agree, you must refuse.

"Alright, squad leader, drink however you want to."

Xu Kun, smiling, took another bottle of wine handed to him by Zhou Yizheng, "With this drink, I toast to the squad leader’s continued vitality and brilliance."

"Then let me make an offering as well."

Lin Fan didn’t care much about the issues between the two men.

First of all, it had nothing to do with him.

Secondly, drinking came first.

Grabbing the bottle, the three of them tilted their heads back and drank deeply.

In no time, two kilograms of baijiu had gone down their throats.

Such heavy drinking naturally drew the attention of those nearby.

The main table, which could seat fifteen or sixteen people, was now occupied by just the three of them.

Zhao Jiaqi was also hiding on the side,

watching the three converse and laugh heartily.

All she could do was question Zhou Yizheng: "Brother Yizheng, what’s this about? I feel like Prince Zhen Nan is here seeking something from Grandfather’s."

"It’s nothing but wanting Grandfather to come out of retirement to be his high consultant, to strategize day-to-day. But Grandfather has already refused three times, yet this time he’s actually come in person."

Zhou Yizheng also frowned,

for Prince Zhen Nan was no ordinary presence.

Jiangning, too, was under Prince Zhen Nan’s jurisdiction.

"So that’s it. But how come I feel like his eyes haven’t left Lin Fan? This guy doesn’t want to snatch him up, does he? That would be poaching."

Zhao Jiaqi observed Xu Kun’s expression with suspicion.

Every time he looked at Lin Fan, his eyes showed admiration.

"Sister Jiaqi, I’ve heard that Prince Zhen Nan also has a daughter who knows nothing about the arts but is a great military commander. She’s organized an elite troop that has made a name for itself. So you’d better step up your game, or Lin Fan might just be tempted to leave with her," Zhou Yizheng said as he rubbed his chin.

"Brother Yizheng, what are you talking about? I’m talking about him poaching from my ’Fang of the Wolf’."

Hearing this, Zhao Jiaqi’s cheeks flushed.

Why do these people always like to meddle in matchmaking?
