Chen Lijie stared at Su Qingci, somewhat puzzled. "Is it really that delicious? Why are you crying?"
Su Qingci waved her small hand under the table, and a damp handkerchief appeared in her palm. She raised her hand and gracefully pressed it against her cheek, wiping away her tears.
"I'm so touched! I can't believe I'm only getting to taste something this delicious at my age. No wonder Kyoto douzhi is so famous throughout the country."
Fearing that the others wouldn't believe her, Su Qingci gritted her teeth, broke out in a cold sweat, and took another sip, then wiped her mouth again.
"Look, it tastes so good!!!"
Kong Yuzhen's lips twitched, filled with admiration. This Jiang Yuyan was a ruthless person. Then she looked at Chen Lijie with a mocking expression, "Coward, are you convinced yet?"
Chen Lijie instantly lost his temper, "Who's the coward? Who's the coward?"
As he spoke, he picked up the bowl of fermented mung bean juice and slurped down a third of it with a whoosh.
Chen Lijie froze on the spot.
The third uncle in their village had such smelly feet that if he didn't wash them for a day, he could attract flies from within a 20-meter radius. This was the third uncle's feet, which hadn't been washed for half a month. Now that he had washed them, he took a sip of the foot-washing water.
Yu Lianfang, seeing her boyfriend standing there in a daze, asked, "How is it, Lijie?"
Chen Lijie met Kong Yuzhen's mocking gaze, held his breath, gritted his teeth, and swallowed it down with a gulp.
Her voice trembled slightly, "They're right, it's nothing, just like drinking alcohol, it might be a little hard to swallow, but once you drink it... it has a unique flavor."
Kong Yuzhen nodded, glancing sideways at the Yu siblings with undisguised disdain, "Yes, just like drinking, only the bravest men dare to drink the strongest liquor~"
"You two, why don't you just give up and not try it? Since you haven't drunk it yet, you can still return it!"
Chen Lijie quickly added, "Yes, yes, not everyone likes it. Liang Ge, Lianfang, why don't you two stop drinking?"
Yu Liang was displeased. "Chen Lijie, who do you think you are? 'The bravest man drinks the strongest liquor'..."
Yu Lianfang was already a little uncomfortable when she saw Chen Lijie staring at Kong Yuzhen. Seeing her brother holding a bowl, she also picked up a large bowl. The two siblings tilted their heads back, wanting to show everyone their enormous capacity for food.
Then they simultaneously performed a "fountain shooting" routine.
Su Qingci and Kong Yuzhen exchanged a glance the moment they looked up, and then quickly slipped under the table.
"Pfft~"
"Cough cough cough~"
"What the hell is this? Poison?"
"Damn it, Chen Lijie, you motherfucker, you dare to ruin my life."
"No, no, Brother Liang, I already tried to persuade you..."
Yu Lianfang coughed as she ate, "Cough cough cough, Chen Lijie, you went too far, you did it on purpose~"
Kong Yuzhen poked her head out from under the table and laughed loudly, saying that if everyone is going to be unlucky, they'll all be unlucky together. She had only laughed twice when a bowl of soy milk was splashed in her face.
Pfft~
A lot of soy milk was poured into her wide-open mouth, and Kong Yuzhen felt extremely nauseous, so she sat down on the ground and vomited.
Yu Lianfang was still not satisfied. Suppressing her nausea, she rushed over and grabbed Kong Yuzhen's hair, yelling, "You bitch, how dare you play me!"
Seeing Kong Yuzhen being dragged backward by Yu Lianfang, Su Qingci's eyes lit up. It was time to deepen their friendship!
Shouting "Yuzhen," she scrambled out and pushed Yu Lianfang face-first into the dirt.
Seeing that his girlfriend was being taken advantage of, Chen Lijie quickly stepped forward to take her side, and together with Yu Liang, they grabbed Su Qingci's arms from both sides.
Su Qingci exploded instantly after being hit by two claws.
Seeing that her good friends had been taken advantage of, Kong Yuzhen took the two bowls of soy milk on the table and poured one bowl over each of them. Soon, the two groups of five people were fighting.
The restaurant staff looked at the imposing stool hanging in the air but dared not approach it.
"Quickly, call the police! Call the police! There are police stations up ahead!"
Hearing the commotion outside, the head chef rushed out with a spatula in hand and shouted for the waiters to go and call for help.
Soon, several police officers in short-sleeved uniforms rushed in, following the waiter.
**
In a large guest room on the east side of the Peace Hotel, Kong Liu was receiving several "guests".
The knocking on the door interrupted the conversation inside.
"What is it?" Kong Liu asked, his tone slightly displeased.
Abu, the underling, rushed in and whispered a few words in his ear, "Sixth Master, the police station called..."
The guests were very perceptive and quickly stood up, saying, "We've finished discussing things, so we won't disturb Sixth Master any longer."
Kong Liu nodded apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was rude."
After the guests left, Kong Liu's expression turned grim. "What happened?"
"Sixth Master, the call was made to the front desk of the Peace Hotel. The waiter came up to inform us that Miss Yuzhen had been assaulted, the perpetrator had been apprehended, and was currently at the police station. They need us to come over there."
Kong Liu's heart jumped. "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and let's go!"
"Where's Aunt Qin? Didn't she go out with Yuzhen? She can't even take care of people properly, what use is she to me? Do you really think I paid her to come here for fun?"
Seeing this, Abu quickly followed behind Kong Liu and told the underlings guarding the door to hurry up and prepare the car.
The one who had been with Sixth Master for the shortest time had been there for two years. He knew that Sixth Master had lost both his parents at a young age, and that Kong Yuzhen was Sixth Master's only relative in the world, making her very important.
The reason she was brought out this time was because Kong Yuzhen and Sixth Master's wife, Yuan Jing, were arguing fiercely at home.
When his wife and sister had a fight, Sixth Master took his sister away, which shows how important Kong Yuzhen was to Kong Liu.
Inside the solemn and quiet police station, Yu Liang and Su Qingci's group sat obediently in a row.
On the second floor, Wang Zhongren stood with his arms crossed, looking down at Su Qingci, who was cowering like a quail, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
Kong Liu was surrounded by heavy guard and it was impossible to get close to him. But she knew to let Kong Liu come to her on his own initiative, and in a place like this no less.
Just as Wang Zhongren was pondering, Kong Liu and his group hurriedly walked in.
"Yuzhen, Yuzhen?"
"Waaaaah, I'm here!"
When Kong Liu saw Kong Yuzhen stand up, he immediately relaxed and looked her up and down.
"What happened? Didn't you say you were beaten up?"
"Who did this? Where are you hurt?"
A police officer holding a registration sign walked over and asked, "Hello, are you a family member of Kong Yuzhen?"
"To correct you, Kong Yuzhen wasn't beaten; it was a mutual fight!"
As Su Qingci watched the police approach, she instinctively stood up and hid behind Kong Liu.
Following the police's directions, Kong Liu saw Yu Liang and the other two sitting in the corner, their faces bruised and swollen, beaten beyond recognition.
He gritted his teeth, turned around, and glared at Kong Yuzhen. "You did this?"
Su Qingci pulled Kong Yuzhen behind her to protect her, pretending to be brave despite her fear as she met Kong Liu's gaze.
"It has nothing to do with Yuzhen, I did it!"
