Chapter 18 Old Friends

Inside the warehouse.

Su Tianyu slowly got up and called out, "Let's go, let's have a drink!"

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

In the lamplight, Zheng Han's left arm was pressed tightly to his side, and he wore a very dirty glove on his only hand.

He was obviously disabled as well.

The two walked out of the warehouse together and arrived at the bar's main hall. Although Zheng Han still had a sleepy expression on his face, he shouted loudly, "Tonight, all expenses are on Su Dakeng!"

"Su Dakeng, you're not being very brotherly, coming back to Dragon City without even a phone call? What's the meaning of that? Did you forget about us after making it big?"

"I heard he's the general manager of a global trading group now?"

"Oh, it's an honor to see you again, General Manager Su!"

"..."

Of all the customers at the seven or eight tables, at least half of them knew Su Tianyu. They mocked him sarcastically, their mouths full of alcohol.

Su Tianyu waved his hand at everyone with restraint, "Don't bitch, the drinks are on me. Set up a table, and I'll give you some money to spend."

"Come on, let's get started!"

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

"..."

Seven or eight drinkers didn't even bother asking the proprietress for permission, pulling a wine table over from the entrance. Then, they crowded around Su Dakeng, pulling out scattered banknotes from their pockets.

Su Tianyu took out the cash he had prepared in advance, and shouted flamboyantly, "Get the booze, get the booze!"

Two strong men carried two whole cases of beer and foreign wine, placing them at the foot of the table, "Come on, drink standing on the cases!"

"Come on, let's get started!" Su Tianyu didn't like gambling, and even felt a bit disgusted by it, but when he was with these guys, he acted very lively.

With the table set up, a group of men of different ages drank strong liquor while gambling. The shouts in the room were surging, curses were incessant, and the atmosphere was very lively.

...

More than twenty minutes later, at the bar.

An Qiqi was dizzy from drinking, while Bai Hongbo smoked and grinned stupidly at Su Tianyu and the others.

Wawa was a little bored. She hadn't drunk much, and just rested her chin in her hand, asking the proprietress, "Was Su Tianyu always here?"

"Yeah, he used to come here often." The proprietress pointed to the wall next to the wine cabinet, which was covered with group photos, "I've known him since he was in the army. You could say I watched him grow up."

Hearing this, An Qiqi slowly got off the chair with Wawa, and looked up at the photo wall curiously.

The photos on the wall were from different years, from 46 to the present. After searching for a long time, An Qiqi saw Gou Liuzi's figure in a few photos. There were group photos of friends drinking, as well as large group photos of hundreds of people. They were smiling brightly, very sunny, and all wearing military uniforms.

"No... no wonder this place is called Old Soldier's Bar, hehe!" Wawa said with a smile.

"It's a bar for Chinese veterans." Hong Jie corrected from the side, then turned to look at the two girls and asked, "Which one of you is Su Dakeng's girlfriend?"

"Huh?!" An Qiqi was stunned, "Why do you ask?"

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

"Hehe, we're both his girls." Wawa replied playfully.

"...Oh, you young people are really open." Hong Jie replied with a smile.

An Qiqi was very drunk, and she looked at the photos on the wall with interest, no longer feeling uncomfortable.

Su Tianyu ran over with a wad of money in his hand, grabbed An Qiqi's wrist, "Are you confused?"

"Huh?!" An Qiqi turned her head, somewhat sluggishly.

"She's really confused." Su Tianyu pulled An Qiqi back to the gambling table, reached out and stuffed the money into her hand, saying, "Come on, you play."

An Qiqi held the money with some confusion, "I... I'm not very good at it!"

"Banker or player, bet on whichever side you like, it's very simple." Su Tianyu had also drunk a lot, and excitedly announced.

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

"Okay, no problem." Su Tianyu nodded.

"Then let's fucking do it!" An Qiqi replied, grinding her teeth, and went to the gambling table with the money.

Su Tianyu turned to look at Da Bai, shouting, "Hey, brother, don't look like you're going to a funeral every day. Come on, come play!"

"I'm not good at gambling," Bai Hongbo waved his hand with a hiccup, "Let me sing a song for everyone!"

Everyone was stunned for two seconds, then burst into enthusiastic applause.

Two minutes later, Bai Hongbo stepped onto the small stage, picked an old song from before the Age of Exploration, and sang with his head shaking, "Run forward!!! Facing cold eyes and ridicule, the breadth of life cannot be achieved without suffering..."

The pig-slaughtering-like singing resounded in the bar, and Zheng Han's head was about to explode. Other people's singing has cadence and emotional ups and downs, but Da Bai's singing is just howling, no technique, all emotion.

Zheng Han stood next to the table, smoking a cigarette and said, "Tell him to be quieter, or he'll wake up Lao Mo. No one will care if he comes over and beats him up."

"Awesome, brother, you sing very nicely!" Su Tianyu turned his head and shouted.

Da Bai modestly waved his hand, and found a gap to reply, "Thank you."

At the gambling table, An Qiqi's eyes were already bloodshot from losing, and she roared with the help of alcohol, "Why am I losing again! Am I just that unlucky?! I'm going to fight you all!"

"Don't gamble, it's easy to get addicted..." Wawa whispered to persuade her.

"Get lost!" An Qiqi glared and shouted.

Su Tianyu smiled as he watched everyone, bent over and returned to the bar, and chatted with Zheng Han in a low voice.

"I'll make a call first..." Zheng Han hiccuped and took out his phone with a cracked screen.

Su Tianyu reached out and grabbed the other's hand, "I was just joking with you. I came back this time to make investments with the boss."

Zheng Han was stunned when he heard this.

"I came here to see you guys," Su Tianyu holding a bottle of wine, "And have a drink along the way."

"If you can't get by, give me a call." Zheng Han replied very simply.

"Okay." Su Tianyu nodded, and asked casually, "Hey, why didn't I see Xiao Hai when I came back this time?"

"His syndrome was quite serious. Last week, after drinking, he met two Lao Mo gangsters at the door, argued with them, killed them, and then committed suicide." Zheng Han replied calmly.

"..." Su Tianyu drank some wine in silence, and didn't respond.

...

Tianhong Port, Nick sat in the car, holding the phone and said, "Yes, friend, if you do this for me, I will give you a batch of goods for free..."
