"Not drinking alcohol tonight, but drinking tea instead?" Su Cheng joked.
He had already begun to survey his surroundings, not missing a single detail—
Tonight we've already made our first discovery: this seemingly elegant Fenglan Residence might actually be a nightclub, and it's also a place where Xu Mao frequents. There's a deeper meaning to this, and this information is outside of Su Cheng's intelligence network.
"Of course I'll drink. I told you I'd show you some women. You don't have to worry about anything, just wait!" Scarface looked delighted.
Stepping into Fenglan Residence, one is immediately struck by the scholarly atmosphere it exudes. Even someone dressed as Scarface would feel out of place walking in, as if they had stumbled upon it by mistake.
However, after Scarface led Su Cheng and the others inside, a special person immediately came forward to greet them. This person, who seemed to recognize Scarface, led them directly down into the ground.
Still underground?
Su Cheng paid close attention along the way and discovered that if there were no one to guide him, no one would ever discover the hidden underground world, and there would be no chance of accidentally entering it, as there were secret doors all the way.
The guide walked in front, making a clanging and clattering sound.
That was a set of keys.
Upon arriving, Su Cheng did not immediately try to extract information by feigning ignorance. Instead, he remained quiet and well-behaved. After all, he did not know if there were eyes watching from the shadows, and remaining unchanged was the best strategy at present.
Xu Mao is not like Scarface; he won't be completely trusted by Scarface's petty tricks.
Once led to the room door, the guide refused to take another step forward.
"Brother Mao is inside." She gestured for him to enter.
"Thanks." Scarface licked his back teeth, patted the woman's buttocks, and then pushed open the door—
That was a new world.
Colorful lights, loud music emanating from the speakers, rich aromas filling the air, a mountain of wine bottles on the table, and most importantly, Xu Mao sitting in the central seat smoking.
When someone came in, he merely glanced at them.
Without you saying a word, someone automatically paused the music.
There were quite a few people in the room, some of whom Su Cheng had seen before, and some he hadn't. He figured out the current situation; Xu Mao was probably "entertaining" the newcomers.
As for whether it was a welcome, a test, or a last meal before losing his head, it all depended on Xu Mao's mood.
Xu Mao remained silent, smoking, and glanced at the person who had just turned off the music.
Then the man went out.
"Brother, I salute you—" Scarface took the initiative to warm up the atmosphere.
When a younger brother toasts an older brother, the younger brother will definitely start with three cups. As for the older brother, it depends on his mood. Raising a cup is already a great honor.
With Scar opening the show, everyone else followed suit—
"What are you standing there for? Respect Brother!" Scarface reminded Su Cheng.
He immediately realized what was happening and, at that moment, found the solution to the night's predicament—pretending to be drunk.
He couldn't possibly let himself get so drunk in this situation, but getting three-tenths drunk and then pretending to be crazy or even falling asleep was the best way for him to avoid playing with women right now—even though there wasn't a single woman in the room at the moment.
But Su Cheng always felt that the real challenge was yet to come, and he dared not let his guard down at all.
"Brother, I salute you!" Su Cheng readily agreed.
When others offer a toast, they either drink three cups or a bottle, but Su Cheng, like a fool who has never drunk alcohol in eight lifetimes, immediately brought out three bottles.
"I'll down three bottles to show my respect for you, brother, and I hope I can help you with things in the future!" With that, he tilted his head back and started chugging.
Scarface was thrilled. He felt that although Su Cheng's reaction was a little slow, he was very good at it. With his attitude of downing three bottles, he had already suppressed the others.
Su Cheng downed three bottles, earning a nod from Xu Mao in return.
Su Cheng: "..."
If it weren't for pretending to be drunk later, who would drink like that?
Before the first round of toasts was finished, Xu Mao's only action was to nod. The rest of the time, he just rolled his eyes. Then, the man who had gone out earlier returned, bringing with him a row of women wearing masks.
Su Cheng: "..."
When they met before, Scarface had boasted that they weren't dealing with ordinary women, which puzzled Su Cheng.
Does wearing a mask make you seem refined and otherworldly?
Who knows what the face behind the mask looks like?
The women in this row had diverse styles: some wore elegant white cheongsams, some wore dresses that looked like evening gowns, some wore school uniforms from who-knows-where, and some wore tattered rags that resembled swimsuits...
Su Cheng: "..."
That's really something!
It must be admitted that the visual impact of such a row of women standing in front of you was indeed quite strong. Apart from Xu Mao, everyone in the room was staring at them, including Su Cheng.
It would be strange if he didn't look at it at a time like this.
"Choose." Xu Mao only said one word.
Su Cheng: "..."
This means that they are to be in this room, right there and then...
He now feels that the sacrifice he made to carry out this mission was extraordinary.
With a heavy heart, Su Cheng chose the one wearing the most fabric, the woman in the school uniform. As soon as he made his choice, Scarface teased him.
"I didn't expect you to have this kind of taste." Scarface's eyes and tone were equally ambiguous.
Su Cheng was internally devastated, but his expression was strong and his body was stiff. The moment the girl in the school uniform sat down next to him, he desperately suppressed the urge to run away.
Then, they began to toast Xu Mao again.
That couldn't even be called a toast; it was practically forcing someone to drink, forcing them to drink.
He greeted everyone with a bottle of wine, trying to ignore the increasingly chaotic scene around him, until the floor was covered with empty bottles. Only then did he seem to finally give in and "collapse" on the sofa.
They didn't even know when the girl in the school uniform took off her mask.
"No, you're really drunk?" Scarface looked at the sleeping Su Cheng with a speechless expression, then turned to his older brother and said, "Is this kid crazy? He managed to get himself drunk, and we haven't even started playing yet! Does he really think he'll have opportunities like this all the time?"
"But this kid can really drink. Damn, all these bottles are such a nuisance!"
"Hahaha... He'll probably regret it to death when he wakes up tomorrow!"
Xu Mao smiled but remained silent, only glancing at Su Cheng with a rather amused look, as if he believed Scarface's words, or as if he thought Scarface was a fool.
Regardless, Su Cheng managed to get through this scheme involving women by getting himself drunk.
As for Scarface and Xu Maoxin, they didn't believe he was really drunk...
Su Cheng had no way of knowing, because the next day, when he woke up in the rest room of Fenglan Residence, he did not see Xu Mao again, but Scarface was sleeping next to him.
After he woke up, he didn't wander around, but sat on the sofa in the lounge pondering, without waking Scarface.
