Chapter 171: Wu De is about to be killed by lightning

Zheng Guan’s mansion is located on the seaside, and the back garden is a large private beach. Wu De designed the theme of this birthday party as a beach barbecue.

"It's a pity that Hong Kong Island doesn't snow, otherwise we could have a barbecue in the snow, just like Jia Baoyu and his friends did. It would definitely be fun."

Wu De was in a good mood and chatted non-stop with Luo Xinxin, including the fact that the creative inspiration for his birthday party came from Dream of the Red Chamber.

Because he was reading Dream of the Red Chamber, and he had just come to the chapter where Jia Baoyu and his sisters were barbecuing in the snow. He was so greedy when he read it, but unfortunately he had a weak stomach, and Zheng Guan usually didn't let him eat greasy things like barbecue, so he took the opportunity of the birthday party to eat it so that Zheng Guan would not object.

"I won't eat much either, just a few slices. Xinxin, you don't know, Ah Guan is even stricter than my mommy. He doesn't allow me to eat this, he doesn't allow me to eat that. It's so annoying."

Wu De has been talking non-stop since Luo Xinxin came in. He has almost no friends and nothing to talk about with his brothers and sisters. Zheng Guan is very busy, so he spends most of his time reading at home.

It was rare to have a friend of the same age who could talk to him, so Wu De wanted to say all the words he had said in the past 19 years tonight.

Luo Xinxin is also a good listener. No matter what he says, she listens carefully and even agrees with him.

"Then you should take care of him and not let him smoke."

Luo Xinxin suggested with a smile that Zheng Guan was a heavy smoker and would almost never put down his cigarette unless Wu De was around.

"Does Aguan smoke?"

Wu De asked in surprise, he had never seen A Guan smoking!

"He told you he doesn't smoke?"

"No, but I haven't seen A-Kuan smoking. Actually, a few cigarettes now and then is nothing. A-Kuan is too tired."

Wu De sounded very distressed. Others said that A Guan was a heartless and ungrateful demon, but only he knew how hard A Guan's life was.

"He doesn't just smoke occasionally. He smokes a lot when you're not around. You have to keep him under control. Excessive smoking can lead to lung cancer. You don't want your friend to die young, do you?"

Luo Xinxin spoke very sincerely, as if she was considering Officer Zheng, but in fact she just wanted to play a trick on him.

A heavy smoker would definitely feel uncomfortable if he suddenly couldn't smoke anymore.

As long as that pretentious guy Zheng Guan feels uncomfortable, she will feel comfortable.

Wu De's expression turned serious. He naturally hoped his friend would live a long life. So, he immediately asked Zheng Guan, who was talking to Li Rong on the other side, "Ah Guan, do you smoke a lot every day?"

Officer Zheng looked at Luo Xinxin with a cold look in his eyes. He could tell with his butt that this woman must have been talking nonsense in front of Ade.

It turns out that women are the most annoying creatures in the world!

"Ade, your friend is glaring at me. Does he want to hit me?"

Luo Xinxin was not afraid at all. As long as Wu De was there, Officer Zheng was a good man with the five virtues and four beauties.

"Aguan, Xinxin is timid, don't scare her!"

Wu De's tone was dissatisfied, but he comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Aguan just looks fierce, but he is actually a very good person."

Luo Xinxin twitched the corner of her mouth. Officer Zheng was a demon that everyone feared. Perhaps Wu De was the only one in Hong Kong who thought he was a good person.

Officer Zheng gave her a warning look before saying, "I only smoke occasionally to stay awake. A pack of cigarettes lasts me a long time."

"real?"

Wu De asked seriously, his eyes were big and clearer than the spring water in the mountain stream.

Facing such a look, Zheng Guan couldn't resist at all. He sighed softly and said helplessly, "It's fake."

"Then why don't you smoke less? Smoking too much is bad for your health."

Wu De did not ask his friend to quit smoking. He knew that it was particularly painful to give up something you like, just like when he saw others eating barbecue ice cream, his mouth would water with greed and it would be uncomfortable.

He didn't want to see his friend feel bad, so he thought that if he smoked less every day, he would be able to quit slowly.

"good."

Officer Zheng agreed that he would seriously carry out any request made by Adeti.

Wu De smiled happily and continued chatting with Luo Xinxin.

Zheng Guan turned his head, the smile on his face instantly disappearing, and he said to Li Rong coldly: "Keep your woman under control, and don't blame me for being rude if you keep talking too much!"

"What? Mr. Zheng wants to be an ungrateful villain?"

Li Rong retorted rudely.

Zheng Guan gritted his teeth, his fist itching, he really wanted to punch this guy.

"You women are stretching your hands too far. It's enough to take care of yourself. Don't interfere in the affairs between me and Ade."

"But your Ade likes chatting with my woman, why don't we leave now?"

Li Rong pretended to call Luo Xinxin, but was stopped by Officer Zheng.

Officer Zheng's back teeth were clattering, he really wanted to kill this couple!

But not only could he not kill him, he also had to treat him politely because Ade liked it.

"Eat the barbecue before you leave!"

Zheng Guan's voice came out from between his teeth, and his eyes warned him not to go too far.

"No, I still don't. What if my partner says something unpleasant again? Mr. Zheng will be unhappy."

Li Rong turned a deaf ear to his warning.

"Of course not. I'm not that petty. Ade put a lot of thought into tonight's barbecue party. I hope you enjoy it."

Officer Zheng tried hard to force a smile, and his sinister expression seemed to soften a little.

Li Rong also knew when to stop and changed the subject.

"Brother Guan, it's all right now."

The subordinates came to report.

"It's all right here."

Officer Zheng took out a stack of money and gave it to them. Several of his men left happily. They were willing to follow Officer Zheng. As long as they did their job well, Officer Zheng would be very generous with his money.

Moreover, if his brothers are bullied, Guan Ge will stand up for them, which is much better than the big brothers of other gangs.

Barbecue tools, fruits, and beer were laid out on the beach. The coconut trees were hung with colorful lights and balloons, and the flashing lights added a festive atmosphere to the barbecue party.

"Happy birthday!"

Everyone raised their glasses and gave blessings in unison.

"Thanks!"

Wu De clinked his glasses happily and drank the orange juice in the glass.

The meat has been marinated, including chicken wings, pork tenderloin, beef, lamb, etc., as well as vegetables such as corn and eggplant. Zheng Guan's subordinates are very attentive and have made quite thorough preparations.

The sauce tastes very good too. Luo Xinxin ate a piece and found it better than those in many other restaurants.

She didn't know that these meats and sauces were prepared by Chef Ling from Zhuangyuanlou, so they naturally tasted better than those in ordinary restaurants.

The four of them sat around barbecuing, the waves lapping against the beach, the bright moon hanging high in the sky, the evening breeze blowing gently. Luo Xinxin took a bite of the delicious barbecue and a sip of beer, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Damn capitalism!"

What a fucking enjoyment!

But the weather changes very quickly. A few minutes ago, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and there was a gentle evening breeze. Now, the sky is covered with dark clouds and the wind is much stronger.

They moved the things to the terrace on the second floor. Zheng Guan originally wanted to grill them indoors, but Wu De said that it would not be a good atmosphere, so he suggested grilling them on the terrace.

The terrace is equipped with an awning, where you can barbecue and enjoy the rain.

They had just moved to the terrace when a twisted bolt of lightning split the sky in two, followed by a deafening thunderclap, a strong wind, and raindrops as big as beans falling.

"Every time I see this kind of weather, I want to recite The Petrel."

Wu De suddenly felt inspired to compose a poem. He raised a glass of drink and recited loudly to the sky: "On the vast sea, the wind is rolling up the dark clouds..."

A larger bolt of lightning struck, thicker than a baby's arm, and the light was so dazzling that it illuminated the terrace like daylight.

Luo Xinxin was opening a present at the time. She was going to wait for Wu De to finish reciting The Sea Swallow, then give him the whip and teach him some whipping techniques to deal with Officer Zheng.

As she took out the whip, the long-unseen system excitedly said in her mind: "Your friend is about to be struck by lightning!"
