Jiang Biao looked at the table full of food and said with a curled lip, "Scratch that."

“…” Before anyone could complain.

Then he said again: "Captain Wu, you are really stingy."

"Hey, how come I'm the one who's being stingy!" Wu Yongcheng said unconvinced.

"Why don't you just pick it up? You refuse to take out those two bottles of Moutai no matter what."

"Yes, I won't take them out. You'll be tempted to death. Those two bottles of mine are both from 1984. They're great wines." Wu Yongcheng patted Chen Yan beside him and said, "I'm keeping them. One bottle for Chen Yan's wedding, and the other for Zhou Yi's wedding."

"So Biaozi, if you want to drink, then you can just hope that they get married soon." Wu Yongcheng laughed.

When Jiang Biao heard this, he immediately pointed at Zhou Yi and Chen Yan and said, "Then you two have to work hard. Find a girlfriend quickly and get married by the end of the year. You can have a wedding together."

Qiao Jiali punched him and said, "Marriage is a major event in life, how can you treat it so lightly? You're just busy drinking."

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. Look at me and my wife. Our families introduced us to each other. The second I met her, I asked her if we were willing to get married. She said yes, so we got married. Look, it's been so many years, and we're doing fine. Our son is already so grown up."

"Just because you're a tough guy doesn't mean Zhou Yi and Chen Yan are too," Qiao Jiali said with a smile. "But your parents are really foresighted. They gave you this name because they knew you were so tough."

Everyone burst into laughter, looking very happy.

Since the surrounding merchants gave so many things, Wu Yongcheng invited the boss and his family of three to come and eat together.

Seeing this, the boss simply closed the restaurant, half-closed the shutter and ate with them.

Seeing that Jiang Biao kept muttering that there was no wine, the boss asked him to wait a moment and ran to the back door.

After a while, he came back with a jar of wine, saying that it was homemade rice wine he brought from his hometown. It was not expensive, so he just wanted to try it for fun.

The boss took a cup and poured a glass for everyone. When it was his turn, just as he was about to pour it, the boss's wife snatched the cup away.

"Don't you know the condition of your own body? You still drink." The proprietress glared at her husband and said.

"I'm in a good mood today, so let's have a drink, just one." The boss said with a wry smile.

The proprietress was extremely reluctant, but finally allowed him to drink half a glass.

Everyone was eating, drinking and chatting, and by the time they finished, it was almost ten o'clock.

Jiang Biao drank half a jar of rice wine, but he was not drunk at all and was full of energy.

Chen Yan was a little tipsy, but Zhou Yi hardly drank at all because Wu Yongcheng reminded him that he had to go to the TV station to record a program tomorrow and he couldn't get drunk.

Instead, Wu Yongcheng was the drunkest one.

After helping the boss and his wife clean up the garbage, everyone left.

Zhou Yi looked at Lu Xiaoshuang with some concern and asked her, "Is it impossible to enter the dormitory at this time?"

Lu Xiaoshuang drank one glass and didn't drink any more, but her face was still red.

She nodded and smiled, "It's okay, Brother Zhou, don't worry, I have somewhere to go."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Jiali hugged Lu Xiaoshuang from behind and laughed, "Come back with me tonight and sleep at my house."

"I'm so sorry to bother you."

"It's okay. I'm alone at home these two days, so you're just a good companion." Qiao Jiali touched Lu Xiaoshuang's red cheek and said to Zhou Yi, "Don't worry, I'll take care of her."

Zhou Yi nodded, that would be great.

Zhou Yi glanced at Xu Nian standing beside him, and Xu Nian also glanced at him with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

At this time, Chen Yan supported the staggering Wu Yongcheng and said, "Then I will send Master back first."

Zhou Yi immediately shouted, "Brother Yan, wait a moment."

"What's wrong?" Chen Yan turned around.

"Leave Captain Wu to me." Zhou Yi said with a smile.

"Ah?" Chen Yan was stunned.

"I just happen to have some questions for Captain Wu about recording the show." Zhou Yi said as he lifted up Wu Yongcheng's body and left.

Chen Yan was a little worried, but Jiang Biao patted him on the back and said, "Don't worry, it's just the two of them. If they encounter a ghost on the way, it's just the ghost who didn't check the almanac before going out. It's bad luck."

"Chen Yan, why don't you send Forensic Doctor Xu off?" Qiao Jiali said.

Before Chen Yan could say anything, Xu Nian immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, I'll call my family and ask them to pick me up." Then he took out his cell phone from his bag and started making a call. It sounded vaguely like he was asking a driver to pick him up.

Jiang Biao hugged Chen Yan's shoulders like a chicken and said, "Come on, sharpshooter, you better see me off."

In the dark night, Chen Yan blushed in embarrassment and was dragged away by Jiang Biao.

After leaving the food court, everyone went their separate ways and left in different directions.

Qiao Jiali held Lu Xiaoshuang's hand. She really liked this well-behaved and sensible girl.

"Officer Joe."

"Just call me Sister Qiao. That's what Zhou Yi and the others call me."

Lu Xiaoshuang nodded: "Sister Qiao, I feel like Brother Zhou is always worried about my safety."

She is a sensitive and delicate person.

"That's just the way your brother Zhou is. He has a strong sense of responsibility. After all, you encountered such a dangerous situation before, so it's normal for him to be worried."

Qiao Jiali smiled and said, "It's okay. There's no danger out there. Besides, there are so many of us here to protect you."

Lu Xiaoshuang was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears.

On the other side, Chen Yan suddenly shouted: "Oh no, that's bad."

Jiang Biao was startled: "What are you doing? You're so jumpy."

"I forgot to tell Zhou Yi the address of Master's home."

"Hey, kid, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?" Jiang Biao said with a helpless smile.

"Ah?" Chen Yan was confused.

On Zhou Yi's side, he was supporting Wu Yongcheng and walking slowly.

But after leaving everyone's sight, Zhou Yi suddenly let go of his hand and said, "There's no one here anymore. You don't have to pretend anymore, Captain Wu?"

Wu Yongcheng, who was originally staggering when walking, suddenly returned to normal.

"How do you know I was pretending?" Wu Yongcheng asked, rubbing his face.

"I'm not stupid. How could I not see that you acted so well?"

"Last time when I called in Zhu Xuejun's office, you said my acting was pretty good."

"Captain Wu, when it comes to smoking, you're definitely an expert. But the fact that you could get this drunk on just this little bit of rice wine is really... a little bit fake."

Wu Yongcheng glanced back at him and said, "Sometimes I really can't figure you out, kid. How can you be so smart and mature just after graduating from the police academy for half a year?"

Zhou Yi didn't respond, instead throwing the question back at the other party. "Captain Wu, why are you going to all this trouble to talk to me in the middle of the night?"

Wu Yongcheng looked at him and asked, "Do you want to be the captain of the Third Brigade?"
