Lin Minjun was stunned when she saw Cao Bin for the first time.

They had been enemies with Cao Bin before, and the person they were investigating this time was Cao Bin.

Why did Erwa invite the Zhou brothers and Cao Bin together? How could Cao Bin tell the truth? Isn't this just walking into a trap?

Lin Minjun had a lot of questions in her mind, but she was still making the last dish, which was stewed pig's trotters with sauerkraut and kidney beans. The sauerkraut was pickled by herself, and the kidney beans were so delicious that they melted in your mouth with just a sip. The pig's trotters were already stewed until they were rotten, and the pig skin on top was shaking with its meridians attached.

When carrying the pig's trotters over, Lin Minjun pulled Erwa aside to ask what was going on and why Cao Bin was called over as well.

As soon as she saw the second pot in Erwa's hand, she seemed to understand again, "Do you want to get Cao Bin drunk and make him tell the truth? But not everyone will tell the truth when drunk."

"It's okay if I don't get him drunk. I can chat with him when he's sober and make him tell the truth." Erwa stuck out his tongue and said with a smile, "Sister, do you know what the Hongmen Banquet is?"

So he planned a Hongmen Banquet for Cao Bin today?

Lin Minjun tapped his nose and said, "You are really brave."

But having said that, we still need to help those who need help.

Returning to the kitchen to continue cooking, the dishes had already been served. Lin Minjun thought for a moment, took the ribs hanging under the eaves, chopped two and cut them into small pieces. There happened to be mint at home that could be used to make fried potatoes, so she prepared to make a dish of mint fried ribs, which was the best dish to go with wine.

While the spareribs were being marinated, Lin Minjun went out.

Now let's talk about the concierge.

Cao Bin lazily leaned back in his chair, glanced at the two Zhou brothers with contempt, and then glanced at Erwa, his eyes full of impatience, "Didn't you say that you would only invite the three of us today? Everyone is here, and the dishes are ready, why don't you eat?"

In those days, you needed tickets to buy meat, or you had to pay a high price. After finally seeing a table full of meat, who wouldn't want to eat it? But Erwa was so stubborn that he wouldn't let me eat it.

"My sister hasn't come back yet." Erwa explained in a gentle voice, and then he walked over to pour Cao Bin a glass of wine and said politely, "Let's eat after my sister comes back."

Cao Bin was about to lose his temper. "You damn sister, she has nothing to do with you. Besides, you are the one who invited me to dinner today. It has nothing to do with me whether your sister comes or not. Come on, eat or get lost."

Hearing him swearing one after another, the two Zhou brothers sitting opposite them frowned.

Erwa was still polite, "Wait a little longer, my sister hasn't come back yet. Today's dinner is not only about me, Zhou Ran and Zhou Yong recognizing you as our elder brother, but also because my sister had a grudge against you before. Let's resolve it today and talk it out. We will all be good neighbors and good brothers in the future."

Seeing Cao Bin was about to get angry again, Erwa said, "Brother Bin is very magnanimous. He won't argue with me. What kind of mind do we have? If I were to say, Brother Bin is like that: a hidden dragon in the abyss. One day he will soar to the sky, one day he will become an official and rich. When that happens, don't forget us, your little brothers."

After a round of flattery, Cao Bin, who was originally angry, suddenly calmed down and looked at Erwa with some surprise, "You are so smart now?"

"I was young and ignorant before, but now I understand. Who among us has the most potential? It must be you." Erwa had a smile on his face. At first glance, the smile looked very sincere and there was no flaw in it. However, Lin Minjun had spent the longest time with Erwa, and a closer look revealed that the boy was actually sneering.

"You have some vision." Cao Bin snorted coldly and stopped urging him to eat.

After such a round of flattery to Erwa, he felt relaxed and elated. He now felt that he was a hidden dragon in the abyss or a tiger in dire straits, and he only needed an opportunity to soar to the sky. Of course, he had to be in a state of readiness at this time and could not lose his temper easily, otherwise he would lose face.

The room was quiet for a while, and soon Lin Minjun came in. She had just walked out of the room, and she was cold all over, making everyone shiver.

But soon, they were attracted by the plate of fried pork ribs in her hand, and they all swallowed their saliva involuntarily. Pork ribs are so expensive, not to mention they are fried. This is no longer cooking, this is serving pork ribs.

Cao Bin was so greedy that he swallowed his saliva, "Your sister is here, can we eat now?"

"Come on, Brother Bin, eat a piece first." Erwa still had that smile on his face, picked up a piece and put it in Cao Bin's bowl.

Cao Bin swallowed it impatiently, feeling his head was dizzy. He hadn't even finished the wine yet, but the ribs had already made him drunk. He took another sip of the wine and said, "What a delight!"

As soon as Lin Minjun sat down and started eating, the meal officially began.

Erwa scooped another bowl of pig's feet for Cao Bin. The pig's feet were fat and trembling, dazzling the eyes.

"I heard that Brother Bin was a powerful young general in our North City, a little red soldier. I'm very curious about what he was like back then." Erwa asked, "I heard someone say two days ago that Brother Bin was very powerful in the past."

He began to guide the conversation, leading Cao Bin to brag about his time as a Little Red Soldier.

But this kid's thinking was too simple. Cao Bin was not completely brainless. He spat out a pork chop without blinking an eyelid and said, "The past is the past. I don't want to talk about it."

"Then let's drink. I bought this glass of wine specially for you today. It's only for Brother Bin." Erwa said as he poured another glass.

At this time, Cao Bin already felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think about it at all. After all, he would never have thought that he would lose a Patek Philippe ladies' watch, and he didn't expect that by coincidence, Lin Minjun had the habit of cleaning every day and would pick up this watch.

So he was confident that no matter what the little brat Erwa wanted to play, he could handle it, so he simply stayed here and ate and drank for free.

Flattery followed one after another, and wine was poured one glass after another.

After three rounds of drinking, Cao Bin began to feel drunk, his eyes became blurry, and his face turned red.

Erwa continued the topic just now, "Brother Bin, after drinking today, our grudge is resolved. Tell me about your prestige in North City. I heard that in the whole North City, no young general was as prestigeous as you. You could call the wind and rain."

After all, Erwa is young. Even if he is used to the fickleness of human nature, his experience and vision are limited. When he grows up, he may be able to handle these things with ease, but not now.

Erwa had flattered Cao Bin to the point of almost wearing out his lips, but Cao Bin refused to respond. He bit his ribs and snorted, "These things are in the past. Let's not talk about them. There's no point in talking about them."

Erwa clenched his fists, a little puzzled.

At this time Zhou Ran interrupted and threw a peanut into his mouth, not caring at all, "Er Wa, what you said is meaningless. The glory was only in the past, what about now?"

As he said this, he glanced at Erwa, and the two of them exchanged glances.

Zhou Ran didn't understand what Er Wa was selling at first, but now he understood everything. He started to help, "What has he become now? A small thug, a rat crossing the street, everyone wants to kill him. In the past, spare ribs were nothing. Have you ever seen braised pork in red sauce? They were big chunks, and Cao Bin would be disgusted by them."

This hit the nail on the head. Cao Bin said bitterly, "In the past, these were nothing. I have eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea. I can eat whatever the landlords eat. But what kind of world is this now? Do you know? Two days ago, I met a stinking ninth grader who I criticized. He actually became a professor. When he walked on the street, there were students following him. They kept calling him professor. Ugh."

He cursed again, "What kind of world is this!"

Cao Bin was particularly dissatisfied with the world, and he let out all his anger under the influence of alcohol, "This is a rotten world. In the past, we young generals had everything we wanted. Those stinking ninth category and the black five categories were all afraid of us. Now, what kind of world is this!"

Erwa was about to say something, but Zhou Ran patted his shoulder and shook his head at him.

I then added, "Not all young players can have everything they want, right? It's not as exaggerated as you say."

After he questioned this, Cao Bin was not convinced. He smiled with a crooked mouth, "Of course ordinary people can't do it, but those with a smart mind can. Find a typical person to criticize and fight, take credit for yourself, and become a small leader, right? There is a term called "a pledge of allegiance", have you heard of it?"

Zhou Ran didn't know the purpose of Erwa's banquet today and was about to continue asking, but after listening for a long time, Lin Minjun already understood, understood everything.

In front of everyone, she said straight to the point, "Then I understand. You became the leader by targeting Erwa's mother and leading others to criticize and fight her, right?"

Cao Bin was frightened by these words and he almost sobered up. "Who said that?"

"Isn't that so? Don't deny it. If you really want to find out about this kind of thing, it's not difficult at all. No one made the decision for Erwa before, but now we are all finding out for him." Lin Minjun said again.

Cao Bin was drunk and unconscious, and subconsciously defended himself, "Everyone did the same thing back then. Besides, his mother is a XXX and has studied abroad. Shouldn't we fight?"

"But you clearly know that his mother is a good person. She gave you the house for free. But who knew that you would find a family of ungrateful people and bring people to criticize his mother. His mother fell ill and her health collapsed because of this incident. You actually have the nerve to shamelessly mention your former glory. Let me ask you, are you embarrassed when you see Erwa? Aren't you afraid that his mother will come to claim your life when you sleep at night?" Although this matter has nothing to do with her, Lin Minjun was furious when she thought about Erwa becoming an orphan and living such a hard life, and the culprit Cao Bin not only wandering around the yard leisurely every day, but also living in someone else's house.

Seeing that there was still a glass of wine on the table, he simply splashed it over and said, "How dare you drink? Do you have the nerve to do that?"
