Ch 29 - Chi Shi’s dirty trick

TL-ed by weiisnothere

At the Moonlight Bar, Luo Lin drank around 8 bottles of wine before waving goodbye.

"Young Master Luo, please don't forget about the setting up of a development department." Brother Da Qiang reminded him.

Luo Lin shook his hand: "Rest assured, I'll do the things I've promised you. Otherwise, wouldn't it be akin to slapping my own face?"

Brother Da Qiang nodded with satisfaction: "You have Ah Yao's contact number, if you run into any issues, just give him a call and he'll be the first to arrive. If that doesn't work, there is still Brother Da Qiang. Anyone who dares to touch you, I'll fu*k their entire family."

Luo Lin patted Brother Da Qiang's shoulder: "Alright, I'll visit you when I’m free."

Wolfdog walked Luo Lin to the taxi, and before closing the door, he said: "Seriously... Brother Luo Lin, if that Brother Dragon intends to look for you, with us together, destroying him is only a matter of minutes. From then on, we will be the shot-callers of his turf."

Luo Lin revealed an expression that seemed to say ‘You know me best.’: "Brother Ah Yao, I understand."

When the doors closed, the taxi drove off slowly.

"Little brother, where are you heading?"

Luo Lin thought: "The Fish Head Emperor stall at the entrance of Wen Hua Street."

"Okay!" The taxi driver stepped on the throttle, and the taxi left a trail of dust as it left Night Market Street.

In the car, Luo Lin called someone: "Hello, Little Chuan, did you guys have fun? Mhm, how is it, do you five still have room for more alcohol? Alright gather everyone, we'll meet at the Fish Head Emperor stall at the entrance of Wenhua Street."

When Luo Lin disappeared from Night Market Street, Brother Da Qiang laughed as he patted Wolfdog's shoulder: "How is it, Luo Lin this little brother is alright?"

Wolfdog nodded vigorously, his energetic gaze flashed with a splendor: "He's not bad, he's pretty tactful. Brother Da Qiang, I’m not exaggerating but within 3 years, there will be a spot for Luo Lin in Zhengzhou City. In several years, his achievements will exceed that of his father and his uncle."

Brother Da Qiang smiled: "3 years? I say at most 2 years."

...

Wenhua Street entrance, Fish Head Emperor stall.

There were 6 dishes on the table, a tray of lamb skewers with lamb kidney, and two boxes of beers.

6 men sat together, Luo Lin sat at the man seat while Liu Wanchuan, Liang Zi, Lin Jiadong, Li Nan, and Li Chenggong sat according to their ages.

In the afternoon when they were drinking together, the five of them became sworn brothers. Wine mixed with the cigarette ashes slid into their bellies, and they swore oaths according to their ages.

In current society, there were times when you couldn’t even trust your family, let alone sworn brothers. However, this formality causes slight psychological effects. At the very least, these five who were strangers a few days ago have now formed a sense of bond.

There are more than a billion people in this country. If these 5 managed to walk together, then it must be fate.

Luo Lin raised his glass with a smile after listening to Liu Wanchuan's ‘report’: "You five are now sworn brothers who share a single pair of shorts. Never forget that you have reliable brothers by your side, no matter what becomes of you, never forget this friendship.”

“It is my honor you guys recognize me as your big brother. It’s the good karma I accumulated in my previous lives to have your assistance in the future. Sit down guys, this bottle of wine is me toasting all of you. Don't toast me or I'll fight you."

After he said that, Luo Lin raised the bottle and chugged down the alcohol.

They were all sensible fellows, no one said anything. When Luo Lin lowered his empty bottle, they all stood up, and spoke simultaneously: "Brother, drink less."

Luo Lin raised his hand: "No, everyone must drink today. How many times can you get drunk in your lifetime? Treat drunken words as sentiments between us brothers."

‘How many times can you get drunk in your lifetime?’

'That's right, life is short and hurried. If we can't bring it away, then we'll leave a little memory. Even if it was just a bunch of frivolous youth doing conventional things, why not?'

They have never seen the lofty Brother Lin being so sentimental. They pondered over his words but their hands weren’t idle. They respectfully said: "Brother Lin, let us 5 brothers toast you."

'5 brothers...'

Luo Lin looked at these 5 who he never had much interaction with during his previous life. In this lifetime, he was the reason that these 5 came together.

For a brief moment, this scene seemed as though it had turned into a rough ink painting. It felt like a dream-like fantasy, it didn’t seem real but it was memorable. The inexplicable throbbing sensation in his heart turned into a warm flowing current.

...

This gathering made everyone drunk, even Luo Lin who was good at handling alcohol felt a little dizzy.

Regardless of being drunk or not, everyone was intoxicated. His soul which had been replaced by the older Luo Lin found a sense of hot-bloodedness.

He wasn’t a young and frivolous youngster anymore, so he shall be drunk this one time, it was not too much to ask for. Since everyone gathered together, this was the right place, and this was a once in a lifetime matter.

In the wee hours of the morning, everyone got into taxis and went home to look for their respective mothers.

Luo Lin didn’t laze in bed the next morning. He got up at 6, showered and cleaned up. While he was preparing to walk to the bus stop, the radiant Song Meiyuan and Qin Wanshu appeared. It turned out that they were heading to the internet cafe so Luo Lin conveniently hitched a ride.

Despite having slept for only a few hours, Luo Lin had decided to be a well-behaved student that didn’t play truant and take vacation leaves.

Unfortunately, Liu Wanchuan and the others were not as robust as Luo Lin. They were having a hangover and tacitly skipped school together.

Not only them, Chi Shi who was once a famous figure with limitless potential also skipped classes. However, it wasn’t for drinking but...

Pink Mommy Bar had opened early in the morning.

Brother Dragon was awoken by a knock on his door. When he was about to become angry, his emotions soothed when he realized it was Chi Shi: "Old Brother Chi, come on in, here, have a cigarette."

Chi Shi silently took over the cigarette. He lit up the cigarette and placed it in his mouth without uttering a word.

Brother Dragon knows clearly of Chi Shi's matters. His approach was shameful, but since things have been done, they should confront it. He had a good attitude and pulled out a bench to sit in front of Chi Shi: "Old Brother Chi, rest assured. Your brother will help you get a payback one day."

Chi Shi smiled coldly after hearing these words.

'One day?'

'Which day will that be?'

'I'm afraid it's a faraway time from now.'

After Chi Shi had experienced this strong blow, he thought about a lot of things. He understood many things and also saw through the motives of many people.

When Brother Dragon instigated him, the feeling of elation blinded him which resulted in him foolishly taking on the role of the scapegoat. Since he had lost, Brother Dragon who presided over the big picture slipped back into his turtle shell like a coward.

Even though he harbored some grudge toward Brother Dragon, he did not show it. It was because he needed to make use of Brother Dragon to take vengeance.

"Brother Dragon, we must get payback quickly for this loss."Chi Shi extinguished the cigarette in his hand and said with a ruthless expression, "It doesn’t have to be a fight, we can try some other methods.

In short, we need to make this bastard Luo Lin eat a loss, and it's a loss that he won't be able to say anything about!"

Brother Dragon noticed Chi Shi’s gaze wasn’t kind, he didn’t know what kind of idea Chi Shi was brewing in his head. It was probably some little tricks, Brother Dragon thought for a little and asked shamelessly: "Good brother, what kind of tricks are you hiding?"  

Chi Shi twisted his neck: "I did a little investigation today. Luo Lin has 2 really beautiful older sisters, and they seem to have a close relationship. Recently, they have purchased an illegal internet cafe on our turf. That was where Luo Lin beat up Brother Little Four."

Brother Dragon furrowed his brows slightly and faintly guessed what Chi Shi was planning. He was not in a rush to give his opinion and waved his hand: "Continue."

"I think that since this internet cafe is under the jurisdiction of our White Dragon Hall, we can find a random reason to make things difficult for these two women. If there’s no one around, we can pull them over to our bar to drink some wine, and figure out a settlement then..." After he said that, Chi Shi's eyes flashed with a ruthless glint.

Brother Dragon frowned: 'This Chi Shi really hates Luo Lin to the bone... Isn't what he's proposing akin to kidnapping?'

The last incident with Luo Lin resulted in 7 of his brothers being thrown behind bars. How would Brother Dragon dare play this sort of game again?

It wouldn’t be an issue if it was other people. Usually, it was not like Brother Dragon had not resorted to these methods when he saw a beautiful girl in his bar. However, using these methods on people like Luo Lin, it needed further consideration.

"Old Brother Chi, don't you think it's a little risky? It isn't like you don't know that the last time we did that, our brothers were thrown behind bars..."

Chi Shi had expected Brother Dragon to say these words, so he retorted while shaking his head: "This happened because Luo Lin was prepared and dug a hole beforehand for us to fall into. Also, Brother Little Four couldn’t escape because he got caught in the act. Actually, if there were no evidence, how would he end up like that?”

“Not to mention that this is an ambush, and we're not even doing it to Luo Lin, but rather two soft-skinned and tender-fleshed girls with voluptuous figures. Brother Dragon, I thought you always had a way with women, why are you so unenergetic now?"

If anyone used this tone to speak to Brother Dragon, they would have gotten a big slap, but he knows the clearest who was behind Chi Shi. When he thought of that, Brother Dragon insisted on his own opinion: "Old Brother Chi, I still don't think this plan is appropriate."

Chi Shi's gaze was filled with unwillingness: "If Brother Dragon does not believe my words and is worried that someone might be arrested, then let me do it. As long as you give me a few brothers to accompany me. I'll bring them to Pink Mommy Bar and afterward, isn't dealing with the issue as easy as moving a finger?"

'These 2 women, are they as Chi Shi described?'

Brother Dragon had a fatal weakness, that was being lascivious.

In fact, Chi Shi's idea wasn’t impossible. As long as they manage to fool the two girls into coming, they can feed the girls some medicine and have some fun, then this payback has been gotten.

By the time the drug effects wore off, Brother Dragon would’ve finished what he wanted to do. There wouldn’t be any evidence left behind that might possibly incriminate him.

With Chi Shi around, if they got into any trouble, his Deputy Mayor father would never stand by and watch. Without any evidence, and with the relationship of Chi Shi and his father, Luo Lin won’t be able to do anything to them.

The moment Chi Shi caught the wretchedness within Brother Dragon's gaze that he failed to conceal, he knew Brother Dragon took the bait. He then took the opportunity to hit the iron while it's hot: "Brother Dragon, it's still that phrase. Your problem is my problem. White Dragon Hall is also the gang I belong to. If anything happens, I will shoulder it!”

“Brother Dragon, don't forget that your brother has a capable father. How about it Brother Dragon? Those two girls look so juicy, they have curves in all the right places, I guarantee that you'll love them."

Brother Dragon was silent for three minutes. Finally, the evil thoughts in his heart prevailed: "Sure, let’s do as Old Brother Chi says. However, before that, I need to see what these two look like."

Chi Shi let out a smile after his evil plot succeeded: "Sure when I was on the way here, I saw those two girls eating breakfast. Let's go and walk a little, maybe they're still around."

Brother Dragon could no longer wait and shot out from his seat: "Old Brother Chi, let's walk quickly."
