Meng Zhehan drank four cups of two kilograms of peach blossom wine before he fell down. This was a miracle. Shen Yu and Meng Tao drank three cups each, and the rest was shared by Director Shen and Xu Hengkai.
Meng Tao saw that they both seemed a little drunk. Director Shen blushed, while cousin Xu's expression remained unchanged, but he looked very relaxed. He was not as serious and cold as when he first arrived. The two of them talked about things and behaved normally, not drunk.
Meng Tao went to the kitchen to cook some sobering soup and let it cool. Shen Yu gave Meng Zhehan a bowl of it, and then gave a bowl each to his father and cousin.
Director Shen waved his hand and refused. When Xu Hengkai heard that it was a hangover soup, he also refused: "What kind of hangover? I haven't drunk enough. I can still drink another pound."
Director Shen nodded: "Yes, this is fine wine, it's comfortable to drink, and it makes you feel ecstatic. If this is what being drunk feels like, it would be great."
Shen Yu did not force them.
When Meng Tao heard the good reviews for Peach Blossom Wine, she was secretly happy: Since it is a fine wine, it has to be priced high. After all, it will be sold overseas and make foreign money, so it doesn't matter how expensive it is.
Meng Zhehan was a good drinker, and he was tired after running around for several days, so now that he was drunk he just went to sleep soundly and comfortably.
Xu Hengkai was still very energetic. He sat in the living room and drank tea and talked with Director Shen, Shen Yu and Meng Tao. The topic was naturally the "Golden Shark" Rong Jie. Xu Hengkai revealed some of the details of the arrest operation and warned his uncle's family to be more vigilant in normal times. After all, only a "stand-in" was caught this time, and the real "Golden Shark" was still at large.
Director Shen was very surprised to learn that his childhood classmate Murong Shengjie was actually the notorious underworld leader "Big Golden Shark".
Xu Hengkai said: "Murong Shengjie is called the 'Great Golden Shark of the South China Sea', not only because he wears a half-golden mask all year round, but also because he is insatiable, like a vicious shark with a big mouth. No matter on the sea or on land, wherever his power goes, he will rob and plunder, from a whole fleet of cargo ships to a small amount of personal property. As long as he touches it, there is no return, and he will swallow it all!
Murong Shengjie is greedy and cruel, and will take revenge for any slight. His means of revenge are so cruel that they are outrageous. If you fall into his hands, there is no possibility of survival."
He looked at Meng Tao: "I just found out about this too. You... Alas, Meng Shaoan raised Murong Shengjie's child, which brought you trouble. You have to be on guard against Murong Shengjie venting his anger for his daughter and harming you. Zhehan's suggestion is correct. You should have security personnel around you to guard against any possibility of disaster."
Meng Tao was not afraid, but was annoyed in her heart: I was fine, but for no reason I provoked foreign black forces. I am so unlucky.
It’s all that scumbag Meng Shaoan’s fault.
Director Shen scolded Meng Shaoan again, and then said to Shen Yu:
"I don't know Murong Shengjie now. When he was young, he was indeed narrow-minded and evil... You must be careful. Taotao must have someone by her side. If you don't have anyone, I will send someone!"
Xu Hengkai wanted to speak, but Shen Yu spoke first: "I know, I will arrange it."
Meng Tao looked at Shen Yu. Was he really going to send two people to follow him day and night? She didn't want that. It was too exaggerated.
Late at night, the couple returned to the room and entered the sea of clouds. Shen Yu explained to Meng Tao, "There is no point arguing with adults about some things. If Dad thinks we are disobedient, he will go directly to Grandpa in Beijing to tell him. It just so happens that my eldest cousin is here. Grandpa instructs my eldest cousin to send someone for us. It will be difficult to send him away. It is better to agree to it first and pretend to do it."
Meng Tao curled her lips: "I don't want someone to follow me all the time. Is this protection? It's like watching cattle and sheep. I'm not a cattle."
Shen Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, you are a sheep, my little fat sheep, come and take a bite."
"I don't...mmmm..."
After a while of entanglement, Shen Yu hugged his panting wife and said, "Actually, this situation is really serious. No one is following you to protect you. Not to mention Zhehan and Dad, I am absolutely worried.
Fortunately, you have space. If you encounter danger, you don't have to worry too much in an emergency. Just hide and save your life. Leave the rest to me. I will always find a way to make it go away. Do you understand?"
"Yeah." Meng Tao nodded. She was so brave because she had the space.
"But if you can avoid it, you should keep it secret first. This requires you to improve your own abilities. Only when you are strong enough, you don't need others to follow you."
Meng Tao: “…”
She buried her head in his arms and said, "After all, you just want me to practice that stupid Kung Fu. It's like a heavenly book. It's too complicated. I can't understand it!"
Shen Yu couldn't resist the spoiled little wife. He finally suppressed the urge to pamper her without principles. He took her out of his arms, looked into her eyes and said:
"That's the training method I picked out for you. I know you can understand it, and I can teach you step by step. Training is very hard, and I didn't want you to get started too quickly and let you relax and play for two more years, but now it seems that's not the case.
If you want freedom, you must be strong enough to protect yourself from any threats. Otherwise, you can only obey the arrangements, be accompanied by bodyguards at all times, and cannot travel far away casually. When I am free, I will accompany you. "
"You have to go to work, and you only have one day off a week. Where can you go? I can't stay at home every day. I'll be bored to death."
“…”
Shen Yu paused and said, "I thought about changing jobs, preferably a leisurely one, so that I can spend more time with you, but after careful consideration, I felt that it was not feasible: there would be no real power, and the environment and reality do not allow us to be ordinary people. Therefore, in addition to being strong ourselves, we must also master power... I have to work hard, and I may be busier in the future, you have to understand."
Meng Tao nodded: "I understand. Actually, you don't have time to accompany me... It's okay. I can do it by myself. I don't want anyone to follow me."
Shen Yu: "Then practice."
"Bring Xiao Wangcai back. It will be fine if Xiao Wangcai follows me."
"Xiao Wangcai is too young and not capable enough."
"Then let it grow up quickly, or it's better for us to raise it ourselves. I think if Xiao Wangcai is left to someone else to raise, he will become thin and won't grow fast. When can he come back?"
"If you practice well, it will come back."
"Okay, then shall we go pick it up tomorrow? Only when Xiao Wangcai comes back can I practice with peace of mind!"
Shen Yu: “…”
He felt sour in his heart and didn't know how many times he regretted it. What was he thinking in the first place to get such a puppy for his wife? Seeing how much his wife was thinking about it, he had to step back.
