Zhang Chang, on the other hand, was very good at handling things. He held up his wine glass and chatted and laughed with Minister Chen and Minister Chen, making the two of them laugh along from time to time.

Soon, the food on the table was completely devoured. During the meal, Minister Chen repeatedly asked Lu Yuan to take the initiative to toast Ying Rui. Lu Yuan could not refuse, so he drank a few cups with him.

Zhang Chang tapped the table with his wine glass and said, "Captain Lu, I hope you won't take offense at what happened last night. I acted impulsively and offended you. Please forgive me!"

Lu Yuan looked at the wine glass in the other person's hand and felt like ignoring him, but Minister Chen next to him nodded at Lu Yuan and said, "Yes! Lu Yuan, you've only been here a few days, so you may not be familiar with the environment in the inner city. Boss Zhang is a short-tempered person, but you'll get to know him better after spending more time with him!"

Lu Yuan could only nod: "Yeah, it's alright, I don't mind. I just hope your son won't do anything outrageous again, otherwise there might be another Chen Yuan or Wang Yuan!"

A hint of displeasure flashed across Zhang Chang's face. He had already lowered his stance so much, but Lu Yuan's words were still so sarcastic and pointed, clearly showing him no respect. He was immediately annoyed, but with two big shots sitting next to him, he couldn't show his anger and could only nod repeatedly.

"Captain Lu is right, I will discipline Zhang Fan properly!"

However, Zhang Chang's heart was already filled with boundless hatred.

"You little brat, I'll skin you alive sooner or later! Then we'll see what you'll use to fight me!"

After several rounds of drinks, with neither wine nor food left, Lu Yuan made an excuse to go to the toilet, while Zhang Chang was already eager for Lu Yuan to leave.

Upon reaching the door, Lu Yuan lit a cigarette, glanced at the deserted hotel, and then stepped into the restroom.

After urinating, Lu Yuan stubbed out his cigarette and went to the sink to wash his hands. Suddenly, someone patted him on the back.

Lu Yuan turned around and saw Liu Yan, dressed in a black dress, standing behind him, staring at him with a smile.

"Oh! What a coincidence! You're eating here too!" Lu Yuan asked, somewhat surprised.

Liu Yan nodded: "Yes! Your supervisor at work is treating you to dinner, and you're here just for the social occasion?"

Lu Yuan sighed helplessly, "Yeah! I'm here for a business dinner too! Why didn't I see you when I arrived!"

"Oh! You're quite late, you just came in not long ago!"

As the two were talking, a voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Swallow, who is this?"

Lu Yuan turned his head and saw a young man in a suit standing not far away, staring at him.

A flicker of disgust crossed Liu Yan's eyes: "Oh! A friend!"

The man stared at Lu Yuan for a moment, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes: "Friends? Didn't you say you just arrived at the base? How come you've already made friends so quickly?"

"Peng Kun, this is a friend from the garrison who saved me. Do I have any other friends I need to report to you?"

Peng Kun was immediately displeased: "Of course not, but Yanzi, you've been a bit distracted at work lately. The supervisor just said that I did you a favor!"

"Okay! I understand!"

Seeing Liu Yan's cold attitude towards him, Peng Kun immediately assumed that Lu Yuan was behind it all, so he said to Lu Yuan, "No wonder! I was wondering why you looked so menacing. So you're from the garrison!"

Lu Yuan sneered and said, "Your nose is pretty good, isn't it? You can even smell the blood on me. Are you a dog?"

Peng Kun's face flushed red, and he pointed at Lu Yuan, shouting, "Watch your language! How dare you swear at people like that! You're truly a hardened soldier from the garrison! Yanzi, stay away from him from now on! There isn't a single good person like him!"

Lu Yuan said coldly, "I hate it when people point fingers at me. You'd better put your hand down!"

Seeing the coldness in Lu Yuan's eyes, Peng Kun immediately withdrew his hand and said in a stern but weak voice, "What's wrong! You want to hit me? Try touching me! This is a public place!"

Chen Yan quickly stepped forward to dissuade him, saying, "Lu Yuan, let it go. That's just how he is. Don't do anything!"

Lu Yuan chuckled and said, "Don't worry! I can still hold back! I'm too lazy to lay a hand on a coward like this guy! Also, stay away from him in the future, you never know when you might get scolded and it might drag you down with him!"

After hearing this, Chen Yan burst out laughing.

"Alright! Hurry up and go back!" After saying that, Lu Yuan turned to leave.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yan called out to Lu Yuan's retreating figure, "Lu Yuan, come to my place sometime, I'll get you something to eat! You saved me last time, and I haven't had a chance to treat you to a meal yet!"

Lu Yuan nodded: "No problem!"

Peng Kun, standing to the side, was so angry that he couldn't speak. He clenched his fists tightly and couldn't utter a word for a long time. In his heart, he already regarded Lu Yuan as his rival in love.

"Damn it, I'll get you sooner or later!"

Back in the private room, Lu Yuan sat down, while Minister Chen approached him with a wine glass in hand.

"Lu Yuan! I was just talking about you with Old Master Ying! You have the same personality I had back then! I like it very much! Keep up the good work! And this case must be investigated thoroughly! There are definitely other people behind it!"

Lu Yuan quickly stood up again and picked up his wine glass: "Don't worry, Minister Chen, I will definitely do my best!"

Zhang Chang sneered and whispered, "Him? Hmph! A little brat who's only been here a short time and already wants to solve cases. Didn't his predecessor die because of this case? Be careful, you might be next!"
