"His favorite color is blue. He says blue represents freedom and hope."

"..."

Zhu Ping reminisced about the moments she shared with Qin Yang, rambling on and on.

Guo Rugui listened attentively, nodding frequently and occasionally interjecting a word or two to express his agreement.

"I see. It seems I know too little about Qin Yang."

"From now on, I will definitely take better care of him."

He pretended to have repented and reformed, making it impossible for anyone to detect any flaws in his act.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

Zhu Ping drank a glass of wine that Guo Rugui handed him, and felt a warm current rising from his lower abdomen, and his head began to feel dizzy.

He rubbed his temples, trying to clear his head.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Guo Rugui asked with concern.

"No...it's nothing, I'm just a little dizzy."

Zhu Ping waved his hand and said with a forced smile.

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Although I can't hold my liquor, I shouldn't be so drunk that I'd pass out after just one drink.

Is there something wrong with this wine?

A thought flashed through Zhu Ping's mind, but he immediately dismissed it.

Guo Rugui wouldn't be that bold, would he?

He's Qin Yang's good brother.

"No, I need to go to the restroom."

Zhu Ping felt his consciousness becoming increasingly blurred; he had to leave and find Qin Yang.

He struggled to his feet, wanting to walk outside.

"Hey, Zhu Ping, where are you going?"

Guo Rugui reacted quickly and grabbed Zhu Ping.

"I...I need to use the restroom."

Zhu Ping's voice sounded weak.

"Why are you going to the toilet? We haven't finished eating yet."

A flicker of panic crossed Guo Rugui's face, but he quickly masked it.

"Come on, let's keep drinking."

He forcibly pressed Zhu Ping back into his seat and poured him another glass of wine.

Zhu Ping stared at the wine glass in front of him, a warning bell ringing in his mind.

He can't drink anymore.

He has to find a way to get out of here.

He forced a smile and mustered his strength.

"Guo...Guo Rugui, I...I really need to go to the restroom, you...you wait for me."

As he spoke, he quietly took out his phone from his pocket and made a call to Qin Yang.

However, he was still a step too slow.

Guo Rugui had noticed his subtle actions long ago.

With a "snap".

Guo Rugui snatched Zhu Ping's phone, turned it off, and threw it into the nearby trash can.

"you……"

Zhu Ping's eyes widened, wanting to say something, but he couldn't utter a word.

His body slumped limply onto the table, and he completely lost consciousness.

Guo Rugui looked at the unconscious Zhu Ping and a smug smirk appeared on his lips.

"Fool, you're too green to mess with me!"
