Chapter 1088: Chapter 1089: Otherwise, I will deal with you

The suite where Brother Zhao and his group were located was a luxurious large suite. Once inside, those underlings went straight into the adjacent room.

Inside this luxurious suite, there were two other people, both in their forties with big bellies, each holding a karaoke hostess with heavy makeup.

One of them saw Qi Lanqin and her group and exclaimed, “Old Zhao, weren’t you going for revenge? Why’d you bring back a few girls?”

The guy called Xiao Yang immediately laughed and said, “The kid who hit Brother Zhao turned out to be a subordinate of Brother Zhao. Once he revealed his identity, that kid chickened out and even handed over the girls he brought.”

The fellow immediately laughed, “Pfft! Old Zhao, that’s gotta be frustrating for you.”

Brother Zhao, whose real name is Zhao Laiyou, is a deputy dean of the court. These two were at about the same level as him, but in different departments: one is in the prosecutor’s office, named Song Ping; the other in the Public Security Bureau, named Shen Zihe. As for Xiao Yang, he is someone who mingles on the streets, naturally wanting to associate with these law enforcement folks to make money. This time, he was the one treating the three to a good time here.

Song Ping looked at Qi Lanqin and the others without restraint and said, “Old Zhao, you can’t just let this go, right? If this gets out, it would be disgraceful; this needs to be handled well.”

Shen Zihe followed up, “That’s right, Old Zhao, you’re a dignified deputy dean, and yet you got beaten by a colleague’s son; that’s truly shameful.”

Zhao Laiyou raised an eyebrow, “Hmph, tell me about it.”

Lin Yue listened to the three of them talking and grew more anxious, quickly saying, “Uncle Zhao, it’s all our fault. Today we’ll definitely accompany you well. Yuan Ming is young and ignorant; please forgive him.”

Zhao Laiyou snorted, “Well, that depends on your performance.”

Song Ping, Shen Zihe, and Xiao Yang all showed a bit of smugness. They said it on purpose to intimidate these young girls, but Lin Yue and her innocent friends couldn’t discern their intention and fell right into their trap.

Lin Yue hesitated slightly, then quickly went over, picked up a bottle of wine, poured for everyone, and said, “Then let me first toast the gentlemen.”

Zhao Laiyou and Xiao Yang had already sat on the sofa. Xiao Yang rolled his eyes, “Is this how you offer a toast?”

“Then… how should I toast?” Lin Yue was confused.

Xiao Yang snorted, “Are you planning on standing there the whole time?”

Lin Yue quickly said, “Yes, yes, we’ll sit down.” Then, gritting her teeth, she went and sat beside Zhao Laiyou.

He Fangzhi, Chu Lian, and Qi Lanqin had no choice but to sit down as well. However, they sat together, not next to the men.

“Can I toast Uncle Zhao now?” Lin Yue asked cautiously.

“Wait!” Song Ping gestured, “What’s the point of just sitting there? Come on, we’re exactly four men, why don’t you all split up and sit with us.”

Zhao Laiyou nodded, “Yes, yes, that’s what I mean. Otherwise, how can we enjoy drinking? You… come over here.” Zhao Laiyou pointed directly at Qi Lanqin.

Qi Lanqin remained seated and didn’t move, causing Zhao Laiyou to immediately voice his displeasure, “Looks like your classmates are unwilling to help you resolve this issue.”

Lin Yue panicked and hurriedly said, “Lanqin, I’m begging you, help me out, will you? It’s just drinking a little, right? You won’t just watch me suffer, will you?”

Qi Lanqin hesitated a little and said, “Then I’ll just drink a little bit.”

“Alright, just a little is fine.” Lin Yue quickly stood up to make room for Qi Lanqin.

Chu Lian and He Fangzhi also had no choice but to split up and sit next to Song Ping and the others.

Lin Yue picked up the wine again. Sitting by Song Ping’s side, she said, “Uncle Zhao, can I now propose a toast?”

Xiao Yang waved his hand, “Are you just going to simply toast like this?”

“How should I toast then?” Lin Yue was again at a loss and asked worriedly.

Xiao Yang immediately instructed the two hostesses, “Show them how it’s done.”

The two hostesses giggled. One said, “Brother, how about a cross-cupped wine?” and then linked arms with Song Ping to drink a cup of cross-cupped wine.

Lin Yue and the others immediately turned dark-faced.

The other took a sip of wine and then transferred it mouth-to-mouth to Shen Zihe.

Seeing this, Lin Yue and her group’s expressions completely changed. A cross-cupped drink was somewhat bearable, but drinking mouth-to-mouth, how could any girl accept that?

Xiao Yang said, “As long as you drink three cups of cross-cupped wine with us, followed by three more of these passionate kisses, the matter will be settled. Brother Zhao, what do you think?”

Zhao Laiyou laughed heartily, “Since Xiao Yang said so, how can I not give face? We’ll settle it with six cups of wine.”

Then he looked towards Qi Lanqin, “Come on, let’s start with a cross-cupped wine.”

Qi Lanqin clenched her fists and then shook her head, “I’m sorry, if it’s a regular drink, I can accompany a couple, but I can’t accept drinking this way.”

“You won’t accept it? Are you sure?” Zhao Laiyou’s face turned stern.

Qi Lanqin firmly said, “Yes, not accepting. You’re all leaders, is it really right to force us students like this?”

Zhao Laiyou’s expression darkened further, and Xiao Yang slammed the table, shouting, “Little girl, aren’t you too naive? I’m telling you, you will drink whether you like it or not. If you dare not drink, I’ll have those three people’s legs broken right away.”

Qi Lanqin clenched her fists tighter, “You’d better not do that, or… or…”

“Or what?” Xiao Yang sneered, looking at Qi Lanqin.

Qi Lanqin bit her lip, “In short, just let it go, both sides hit each other, no one suffered more. If you keep pushing us, I won’t agree.”

“You won’t agree? Haha…” The men all laughed. Xiao Yang said, “What if you don’t agree? And what’s your ‘or else’?”

Qi Lanqin clenched her fists again, “Or else… I’ll… I’ll… I’ll call someone to deal with you.”

Qi Lanqin’s words were meant as a threat, but with her tone, it lacked any intimidation. Instead of worrying, these guys laughed again.
