Chapter 167: First time, second time, familiar

The next day, Qin Bingwu and Gu Siyue arrived at the restaurant arranged by their classmates at the agreed time.

At the entrance of the restaurant, his classmates and about ten other people were waiting at the door.

Gu Siyue hadn't gotten out of the car yet, and whispered to Qin Bingwu:

"There's only one I don't know, the older one."

Qin Bingwu glanced at the crowd, but because the car window glass blocked their view, she was not worried that they would notice her gaze.

She took a photo and sent it to Gu Siyan.

The two got out of the car and many people came to greet them:

"Ayue, you're here! I was really worried you'd stand me up. This must be Qin, a classmate from our class at Peking University."

"Ayue never had dinner with classmates before, but today he is giving us face."

"Ayue, have you grown taller again? When will it be my turn to be tall, rich and handsome?"

They are all energetic college students, and it’s very lively when they get together.

After joking around and saying hello, Gu Siyue glanced at the stranger and asked:

"Who is this?"

Student Chen replied, "Oh, it's my cousin. He came to Beijing to celebrate the New Year."

Gu Siyue frowned: "That also has a name, right? Do you want me to be your cousin?"

Student Chen waved his hands hurriedly, his face showing a bit of nervousness. Gu Siyue asked:

"What's wrong? You can't tell me your name? Or you don't know your cousin's name?"

The man smiled and explained:

"Fourth Young Master, please don't embarrass my cousin. He's so used to calling me cousin that he might have forgotten my name. He doesn't dare call me cousin. Just call me Awei."

After Ah Wei finished speaking, he extended his hand to guide him: "Fourth Young Master, Qin classmate, it's cold outside, come in, the private room is ready."

Student Chen breathed a sigh of relief:

"Yes, yes, yes, come in and eat. I'll ask the waiter to serve the food."

When they arrived at the private room, the dishes were served quickly. Qin Bingwu and the others had already analyzed that the common tricks used in dinner parties are poisoning or drugging. Since so many people came, it is impossible for the dishes to be poisonous. The most vulnerable place to poison is the alcohol.

A Wei was about to come up and pour wine for Gu Siyue first, but he stopped him:

"Since we're having dinner together today, I stole a bottle of Romanee-Conti from my eldest brother and let everyone try it. Are you interested?"

Hearing the name of Romanee-Conti, the students were all excited:

"I heard that a bottle of wine costs hundreds of thousands, Fourth Young Master, you are so kind to the brothers."

"Of course he does. Who is the Fourth Young Master? He would never care about a few hundred thousand."

"Cousin, don't open this wine. I have to try Romanee-Conti."

Awei's face darkened. The driver had received instructions and brought the prepared wine.

Ah Wei could only sit down in dismay, and began to persuade Gu Siyue to drink and eat, but Gu Siyue waved his hands repeatedly:

"This dish looks and tastes just average, and I'm tired of this wine. Everyone, just enjoy yourselves and don't worry about me."

Qin Bingwu lowered her head and tried to suppress her laughter. Only her fourth brother had the ability to be so Versailles and not be annoying. His classmates all gave him thumbs up and said that this wine really tasted like money.

"Awei, why aren't you eating? Xiaowu, where's the wine?"

Qin Bingwu shook the bottle of Romanee-Conti that had been passed around:

"Fourth brother, he's gone."

Gu Siyue said in annoyance:

"It's my fault. I only stole one bottle. If I had known you were so good at drinking, I would have stolen a few more bottles from my eldest brother. Ah Wei, drink this. I'll pour you some wine."

Awei's expression changed, and he quickly stretched out his hand to stop him:

"No, Fourth Young Master, how can I ask you to pour wine?"

"What's the big deal? I was wrong today for not letting you, Awei, taste Romanee-Conti. I'll pour you some wine to make amends. Come on, fill it up."

Gu Siyue poured a full cup and gestured sincerely to him to accept his apology.

Awei's face looked a little bad. There was medicine in the wine, which he had put in with his own hands. He had originally planned to give another bottle to others after putting the medicine in it.

Seeing that Awei didn't move, the smile on Gu Siyue's face disappeared:

"It seems that you despise my apology, Awei. You won't even give me this little bit of face?"

At the dinner table, the eyes of the other ten or so people also fell on Awei.

Someone said:

"It's just a glass of wine, just drink it."

"I just poured too much. This is not Ayue's fault."

"It's a class reunion, why bring strangers? We can't have fun together."

Awei had no choice but to drink the drugged wine.

Gu Siyue clapped his hands happily:

"Okay, okay, I, Gu Siyue, will definitely be your brother."

After drinking, Awei's face turned pale.

The medicine they gave was a chronic toxic acid, which would slowly corrode the digestive system after being ingested because it would be mixed with the food being digested. People who took Chinese medicine would only feel stomach bloating and discomfort at first, but after two or three hours, when they felt severe pain, they would have a serious illness, gastrointestinal perforation.

The reason for choosing this method is that it is not easy to be detected. It can be attributed to him eating and drinking too much and too diversely, so it cannot be traced back to Mr. Yu.

But now the plan has been completely disrupted.

Awei calculated the time in his mind. A dinner would take no more than half an hour. By the time Gu Siyue left, he would still have time to go to the hospital for gastric lavage.

Seeing how hard he was drinking, Gu Siyue smiled and said:

"You don't know how to drink? If you didn't, you should have told me earlier. I wouldn't have forced you if you had told me."

Awei: “…”

After having enough wine and food, Gu Siyue waved his hand:

"We're so happy today. It's a rare opportunity for us to get together. Don't leave now, let's go sing. Fourth Young Master Gu will pay for tonight's consumption."

This bold slogan immediately gained the approval of most people:

"The fourth young master is mighty."

"Follow the Fourth Young Master and you'll have meat to eat."

"I can see the world tonight."

Only Awei was unhappy. He felt a little bloated and wanted to have his stomach pumped.

"Well, Fourth Young Master, I won't go. You guys go."

Gu Siyue put his arm around his shoulders:

"What? Are you giving me no face?"

"No, no, I'm afraid I won't be familiar with everyone and will spoil everyone's fun."

Gu Siyue patted his shoulder:

"How could that be? You don't treat me as a brother?

"First time is new, second time is familiar. You have come to Beijing with great difficulty, brother, I must let you have a good time."

Ah Wei wanted to refuse, but classmate Chen said:

"Yes, Ah Wei, didn't you ask me to organize the party in the first place because you wanted to get to know the Fourth Young Master so that you could have someone to look after you in business in the future? Now that the Fourth Young Master gets along well with you, don't spoil his fun."

Qin Bingwu pulled out a tissue and pretended to wipe her mouth, but in fact she was trying to cover up her gloating.

They probably never dreamed that taking advantage of these innocent boys would backfire.

Gu Siyue had an expression as if he had just realized something:

"Awei, this is boring. Do you have to go through so much trouble to make friends? My friend's brothers are my brothers. Let's go out and have fun together. Don't worry about business or anything like that. I'll take care of it."

Awei had no choice but to be half-dragged and half-forced by Gu Siyue to go to the club.
