Chapter 115: Getting High

In the warehouse.

Su Tianyu slowly stood up and called out: "Come on, let's drink!"

"Alright!" Zheng Han stood up with a cigarette in his mouth and followed Su Tianyu out.

In the light, Zheng Han's left arm was kept tightly pressed against his side, and his hand wore a very dirty glove.

He clearly also had a disability.

The two walked out of the warehouse together and came to the bar's main hall. Though Zheng Han's face still showed a not-fully-awake expression, he shouted in a very loud voice: "Tonight's tab for everyone, Big Pit Su is paying!"

"Big Pit Su, you're not being proper - back in Dragon City and not even one phone call? What's that about, made it big and now playing disappearing act?"

"Heard you've become general manager of a global trading group now?"

"Oh my, very honored to see you again, General Manager Su!"

"...!"

At least half of the seven or eight tables of customers knew Su Tianyu. They mocked him sarcastically, their breath reeking of alcohol.

Su Tianyu modestly waved to everyone: "Stop talking, I'm buying the drinks. Set up the table, I'll give you some money to play with."

"Come on, let's get started!"

"Damn, that's more like it, Baccarat?"

"...!"

Seven or eight drinkers didn't even wait for the landlady's permission before pulling over a drinking table from the entrance. Then everyone crowded around Big Pit Su, taking out scattered bills from their pockets.

Su Tianyu took out the cash he had prepared in advance and called out impressively: "Bring wine, bring wine!"

Two strong men brought over two whole cases of beer and foreign liquor, placing them at the foot of the table: "Come on, drink standing on the cases!"

"Let's begin!" Su Tianyu didn't like gambling, and even had some aversion to it, but when he was with these people, he acted very lively.

With the table set up, men of various ages drank strong liquor while gambling for money. The room was filled with surging shouts and constant cursing, creating a very lively atmosphere.

......

Twenty minutes later, by the bar counter.

An Qiqi was drinking herself dizzy, while Bai Hongbo smoked cigarettes and watched Su Tianyu and the others with a foolish smile.

Wawa was somewhat bored. She hadn't drunk much, just propped her chin up watching the landlady as she asked: "Did Su Tianyu always come here before?"

"Yes, he used to come often," the landlady pointed to the wall of group photos beside the liquor cabinet. "I've known him since he was in the army, could say I watched him grow up."

Hearing this, An Qiqi slowly got off her stool with Wawa and walked to the wall, curiously looking up at the photo wall.

The photos on the wall spanned different years, from after '46 to the present. After searching for a long time, An Qiqi finally found Dog Six's figure in several photos. There were photos of friends drinking together and large group photos of over a hundred people. They had bright smiles, looking very sunny, and all wore military uniforms.

"No... no wonder this place is called Veterans' Bar, hehe!" Wawa said with a laugh.

"It's a Chinese veterans' bar," Sister Hong corrected before turning to look at the two young women and asking: "Which one of you is Big Pit Su's girlfriend?"

"Ah?!" An Qiqi was stunned: "Why do you ask that?"

"He... he wouldn't bring very ordinary friends here, and this is the first time he's brought young ladies," Sister Hong said softly. "One of you must be dating him, right?"

"Hehe, we're both his girlfriends," Wawa replied mischievously.

"...Oh, you young people play quite openly," Sister Hong replied with a smile.

An Qiqi was very dizzy from drinking. She looked at the photos on the wall with great interest, no longer feeling uncomfortable like before.

Su Tianyu ran over with a handful of money and grabbed An Qiqi's wrist: "Confused yet?"

"Ah?!" An Qiqi turned her head somewhat sluggishly.

"Already saying 'ah', really confused now," Su Tianyu pulled An Qiqi back to the gambling table and stuffed the money into her hands saying: "Come on, you play."

An Qiqi held the money somewhat bewildered: "I... I don't really know how!"

"Banker or player, bet on whichever side you like, very simple," Su Tianyu, who had also drunk quite a bit, arranged things excitedly.

An Qiqi blinked her big eyes, looking at Su Tianyu somewhat blankly: "If I lose it's on you?"

"OK, small matter," Su Tianyu nodded.

"Then let's fucking do it!" An Qiqi replied through gritted teeth and took the money to the gambling table.

Su Tianyu turned to look at Big Bai and shouted: "Hey, brother, don't look like you're about to cry all the time. Come on, come play!"

"I'm not good at gambling," Bai Hongbo hiccupped and waved his hand. "I'll sing a song for everyone!"

After being stunned for two seconds, everyone immediately burst into enthusiastic applause.

Two minutes later, Bai Hongbo walked onto the tiny performance stage and chose an old song from before the New Era, swaying his head as he sang: "Run forward!!! Face the cold eyes and mockery, life's vastness without experiencing hardship..."

The pig-slaughter-like singing voice rang out in the bar, making Zheng Han feel his head was about to explode. When others sang, there was force and rhythm, emotional ups and downs, but Big Bai's singing was just howling - no technique, all emotion.

Zheng Han stood beside the table with a cigarette in his mouth and said: "Tell him to keep it down, if he wakes up the Old Mo people and they come over to beat him up, no one will help."

"Awesome, brother, very nice singing!" Su Tianyu turned and shouted.

Big Bai waved his hand modestly and found a moment to reply: "Thank you."

At the gambling table, An Qiqi had already lost until her eyes were red. Emboldened by alcohol, she shouted: "Why do I keep losing?! Am I just this unlucky?! I'll fight you all!"

"Don't gamble anymore, it's very addictive..." Wawa advised softly beside her.

"Get lost!" An Qiqi shouted with wide eyes.

Su Tianyu watched everyone with a smile, bent down and returned to the bar counter, talking quietly with Zheng Han.

"Let me make a call first..." Zheng Han hiccupped and reached for his phone with a completely shattered screen.

Su Tianyu grabbed his hand: "I was joking with you, I came back this time to raise investment with the boss."

Zheng Han was stunned hearing this.

"I came here just to see you all," Su Tianyu held a bottle of wine. "And have some drinks along the way."

"If you can't get through it, call me," Zheng Han replied straightforwardly.

"Mm," Su Tianyu nodded, then casually asked: "Hey, I didn't see Little Hai this time back - where is he?"

"His syndrome was quite severe. Last week after drinking, he met two Old Mo thugs at the door, argued a bit, killed them, then killed himself," Zheng Han replied calmly.

"...!" Su Tianyu drank his alcohol in silence, not responding.

......

At Tianhong Port, Nick sat in his car, holding his phone and saying: "Yes, friend, if you do this for me, I'll give you a batch of goods for free..."
