At this moment, Zhao Xuehui and Jiang Sheng had already sat down in a seat by the window, and had taken in all of Zhou Changgui's actions.

However, from Zhou Changgui's perspective, both of them had their backs to him, so they had no way of knowing what he had just done.

Feeling the presence of the two small paper packets in his pocket, a smug smile quickly spread across the corner of Collector's Cabinet's mouth before he slowly walked into the restaurant.

After entering the restaurant, his face quickly changed to a gentle smile as he walked up to the two of them.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I've already taken care of it on my end."

As Zhou Changgui spoke with a smile, Zhao Xuehui simply shook her head at him and said understandingly, "Teacher Zhou is busy at school, that's normal. Once you're done, please sit down and order some food."

At this time, Zhao Xuehui and Jiang Sheng had not yet ordered any dishes. After Zhou Changgui sat down, they picked up the menu and ordered several dishes one by one.

After the food was served, Zhou Changgui looked at the two people in front of him, waiting for the right opportunity.

While the two were eating, he kept serving them tea and water, and even ordered some wine, showing the utmost enthusiasm.

Seeing this, Jiang Sheng secretly sneered to himself.

The reason for making them drink more water was not because Zhou Changgui was trying to please them; it was simply because he wanted them to drink more so that they would have a chance to go to the toilet.

Once he goes to the toilet, Zhou Changgui will have an opportunity to take advantage of him.

Moreover, they were drinking alcohol.

When Zhou Changgui's scheme succeeds, and they pass out after drinking the spiked beverage, the customers present will simply assume it's because they drank too much, and naturally, they won't think much of it.

As for Zhou Changgui...

With that thought in mind, Jiang Sheng subconsciously glanced at a suspicious-looking man not far away.

The man sat there and only ordered one small dish, but he only ate a bite or two occasionally, keeping his eyes on them the whole time.

On the surface, the man and Zhou Changgui had absolutely no connection.

However, Jiang Sheng knew very well that as long as Zhou Changgui's plan succeeded...

The man would then turn himself in and confess that he had added the substance to the cup himself.

When the time comes, no matter how angry Zhao Xuehui and I are, we will only think that Zhou Changgui is innocent and was just implicated by that man.

This is what Jiang Sheng learned from Brother Black Tiger last night about Zhou Changgui.

In fact, this was exactly what Zhou Changgui planned to do after he invited them over on Thursday.

According to Brother Black Tiger, Zhou Changgui got to know people like Brother Sun through Sun Chunjuan's connections, and could get some things from him.

He then threatened a man he had leverage over.

The man, having something on him, was naturally willing to do things for him.

This sentence, from beginning to end, doesn't make anyone notice anything amiss; on the contrary, it makes people feel that Zhou Changgui is a victim.

Therefore, in the end, Zhou Changgui will be able to get away and may even take advantage of the situation to make his move.

The plan was meticulously crafted, with virtually no loopholes to be found.

Therefore, it was precisely for this reason that Jiang Sheng coldly watched Zhou Changgui put on his act.

Because he knew that he had figured out Zhou Changgui's plan in the past few days and had also arranged for Gou Dan to impersonate Brother Sun.

Everything that followed was entirely under his control.

As for Zhou Changgui, does he want to succeed?

That's just wishful thinking!

Zhao Xuehui and Jiang Sheng seemed oblivious to Zhou Changgui's attempts to persuade them to drink. They continued eating and drinking, chatting and laughing with Zhou Changgui.

However, what Zhou Changgui didn't know was that Zhao Xuehui was pretending to drink, but in reality, she poured all the wine from her glass into the sleeve near her mouth.

Moreover, the dark-colored coat she was wearing today perfectly concealed the color of the wet clothes.

Moreover, Zhao Xuehui appeared to have really drunk a lot, but she wasn't drunk at all.

What's going on here?

Zhou Changgui was quite surprised to see this.

Based on his understanding of Zhao Xuehui, he knew that Zhao Xuehui was the type of person who would faint after drinking only a few glasses of wine.

Someone like her, who gets drunk after just one glass, would definitely be slightly tipsy even if she's only drinking fruit wine.

How come you still look like nothing happened?

If Zhou Changgui hadn't been afraid of arousing Zhao Xuehui's suspicion, he would have already poured her a drink.

And so, until the meal was over, Jiang Sheng remained expressionless, and Zhao Xuehui remained just as calm.

The two of them didn't even blink as they chatted and laughed, finishing their meal with Zhou Changgui without even going to the bathroom.

Zhou Changgui's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but he could only manage a forced smile in front of the two of them.

However, he knew very well that if things didn't work out at the restaurant, his only hope for the next time would be the coffee shop.

Thinking of this, Zhou Changgui slowly exhaled.

In any case, they'll be going to the coffee shop later, so they can just do it there.

After all, these two had already drunk quite a bit of alcohol and water.

Even if I don't go to the restroom now, I'll definitely feel the urge to find one in a coffee shop.

With this in mind, Zhou Changgui, unusually generous, reached out and called the waiter over, insisting on paying the bill.

After paying the bill, Zhao Xuehui looked at Zhou Changgui with some embarrassment.

"Teacher Zhou, I already told you that I'm treating today, why are you insisting on paying the bill? I really feel so bad..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Changgui interrupted Zhao Xuehui with a smile, appearing completely unconcerned.

"It doesn't matter who pays. Besides, Xiao Jiang is here to eat with us today, so I can't let either of you pay!"

Zhou Changgui's gentle and generous demeanor made Zhao Xuehui blush and smile shyly.

Then, she generously said, "Since you've said so, Teacher Zhou, I'll pay for it later. I'll treat you to coffee. If you postpone it again, I'll be leaving today."

This time, Zhou Changgui did not insist and nodded in agreement.

The three left the Hao Zai Lai Restaurant and walked for a while before arriving at the corner coffee shop.

At this moment, Shi Tou had already arrived at the coffee shop and was patiently waiting for Jiang Sheng and the others to arrive at the barista's table.

When Jiang Sheng and the other two entered the room, the first thing Jiang Sheng saw was Shi Tou making coffee.
