I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

"How dare you say that to Sister Hua!"—The man with the lip ring wanted to say that, but because his mouth was being held, he could only make "uh-huh" and "ah-ah" sounds.

“And another thing,” Chen Ya continued, “this is a society governed by law. What era are we living in? Do you think this is some kind of mobile network? This is a bar, a legal business. If you want to claim territory, go talk to the police and ask them if this is your Sister Hua’s territory.”

"In short, her behavior was incredibly tacky and laughable."

"I'm done. Did you remember it? You'd better repeat what I said verbatim. I don't know how much you can do with your intelligence."

After saying that, he shoved the man with the lip ring away and said, "Get lost!"

As soon as Chen Ya let go, the man with the lip ring collapsed to the ground and vomited.

"Ugh! Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey... Pfft, pfft..."

The man with the lip ring lay on the ground and forcefully spat out everything in his mouth.

Liu Ruying covered her mouth, watching all of this in astonishment.

Because it happened so fast and so bizarrely, she couldn't understand what was going on. By the time she realized what had happened, Chen Ya had already shoved the cigarette butt into the other person's mouth.

She didn't even have time to stop her.

"You've got guts! You've got guts!" The man with the lip ring raised his head from the ground, his eyes bloodshot, and said, "You dare to cause such a scene in Sister Hua's shop? Fine, I think you really don't want to live anymore!"

"You just wait, don't you dare leave!"

He pointed at Chen Ya while backing away, and then disappeared from Chen Ya's sight.

"You've made a huge mistake."

Liu Ruying, still shaken, whispered to Chen Ya.

“You’ve gotten yourself into big trouble. You can’t afford to offend Sister Hua, not even my family. And you’ve offended both Young Master Xu and Sister Hua at the same time. The Lu family might not be able to protect you.”

Chen Ya, however, seemed unconcerned, which made Liu Ruying even more anxious.

"Let's go quickly. This is someone else's territory. A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. Let's get out of here first and deal with the rest later."

Chen Ya thought for a moment, then stood up. Before the two of them could even leave the room, about ten people rushed out of the private room and blocked their way.

The man with the crew cut, who was in the lead, looked serious and said to the two of them, "Sister Hua wants to see you."

Inside the bar, everyone noticed what was happening. Some of the bolder ones peeked out to see what was going on, while others took out their phones to record. Some quick-witted ones simply ran outside.

The bar's waiters and staff seemed to know what was about to happen, remaining silent as if they hadn't seen anything at all.

A dozen or so people surrounded them, some standing in the corridor and some at the door, blocking all possible escape routes.

The way they cooperate shows that these people are coordinated and have experience in fighting.

Chen Ya glanced at the group of people.

Liu Ruying screamed in her heart: It's all over, it's all over.

She's starting to regret coming to this bar.

She also began to secretly blame Chen Ya for repeatedly reminding her, yet still provoking others in front of her.

Despite having experience in the underworld, he thinks like a student, overly optimistic in this kind of place, believing that no one will dare to mess with him.

Others may not touch you, but if they want to mess with you, they have plenty of ways to do it.

Chen Ya stared at the crowd and said, "Make way."

Chapter 214 Sister Hua: Ahhhhhh!

"Get out of the way," Chen Ya said coldly.

"Sister Hua requests your presence."

The man with the buzz cut repeated it again.

The content this time was exactly the same as the previous time, but the tone was a bit stronger.

“Sister Hua is angry,” the crew-cut man added.

For him, those few words were enough. They explained everything.

Since Sister Hua has said she "invites" you to go, you have no choice but to go.

If I don't go last time, Sister Hua gets angry, and that would be a serious matter.

“I must remind you,” the crew-cut man said, “you’re a hundred times worse off than Sister Hua’s temper. I advise you to be more obedient. Otherwise, if you experience firsthand how angry Sister Hua is, you might not be able to afford the tuition.”

"In addition, I suggest you be more honest and self-aware. The way you drink is different depending on whether you go there on your own initiative or when you are 'invited' to go."

Chen Ya's face had initially darkened, but he quickly softened his expression and said:

"Why did she invite me over?"

"It's the same thing again, the toast," the crew-cut man said. "But this time, it's the two of you who will be toasting us."

He pointed at Chen Ya and said, "You just laid a hand on our brothers. You need to apologize to Sister Hua and also to our brother. Is that too much to ask?"

“That’s going too far, really going too far,” Chen Ya said. “I just said, if you want to toast me, come and toast me, and I can toast you back. But begging for drinks like this, I can only assume someone in your family has died.”

The honey badger's face darkened completely: "So, you're thinking of refusing a polite offer and then having to suffer the consequences?"

“No, that’s not what he meant,” Liu Ruying said, blocking Chen Ya’s way. “Let’s go and offer our respects, let’s go.”

The honey badger laughed: "Miss Liu is very sensible."

Liu Ruying blinked frantically at Chen Ya, gripped his hand tightly, and tried desperately to stop him from speaking.

Then, she grabbed Chen Ya and forcibly dragged him toward the private room.

Chen Ya was originally going to take her away, but then he changed his mind, chuckled, and followed her.

Surrounded by about ten people, the two entered the private room and saw Young Master Xu and Sister Hua sitting inside.

The two men sat in the seats of honor, facing the door, one on each side, coldly watching them.

"The people have arrived?" Sister Hua asked in a pretentious tone.

Chen Ya sized her up and said, "You're Sister Hua?"

"What? Are you disappointed?" Sister Hua asked, staring at him.

"No, I'm just curious about your man's identity, that allows you to act so recklessly in the capital."

"Hahahahaha..."

Sister Hua seemed to have heard something very funny, and she laughed so hard that she almost cried.

She laughed for a long time before stopping and saying:

"Since you don't know anything, you'd better keep your mouth shut and stop causing trouble. Go out and find out more, or you won't even know how you died in the capital..."

After saying that, she turned to Xu, the young master beside her, and said, "Young master, tell me, how do you want them to show respect?"

Young Master Xu stood up and placed a decanter on the table. The decanter was also a glass, or more accurately, ten bottles, enough to hold a pound of liquor.

He placed the bottle on the table, then picked up a bottle of Moutai next to him and poured a glassful into it. Next, he picked up a bottle of beer next to him and poured even less into it.

Next, he poured in a quarter of each of Qiliangye and Daosuixiang liquors, and finally, he added some Cabernet Sauvignon.

Finally, this "cocktail" with everything in it was made.

He slammed the bottle down on the lazy Susan on the table and said:

"Drink this in one gulp, and we won't pursue the matter further. What do you all say?"

"Great! He drank it all in one go!" The people next to him applauded.

"slow!"

The man with the lip ring suddenly stood up and said angrily, "This is too easy on him."

Young Master Xu exclaimed in surprise, "This is cheap? Then brother, what do you suggest we do?"

The man with the lip ring turned the "cocktail" bottle to his own face, held it up, and said:

"Watch closely, add some more ingredients!"

After saying that, he aimed inside and spat out a large mouthful of thick phlegm.

"it is good!"

The surrounding crowd cheered and applauded. The heavily made-up women laughed even more unrestrainedly.

Liu Ruying's body trembled, and she couldn't help but look back at the door of the private room.

As expected, the door was tightly shut, and two people were blocking the entrance.

The honey badger also said, "I'll add some ingredients too, ha, pshaw!"

He also spat a large amount of thick phlegm into it.

In this way, everyone joined in, one after another taking the wine-dispensing vessel and spitting into it.

Not only did the men spit into it, but the women they had invited to "keep things in check" were also urged to add some in as well.

Soon, a bottle of colorful, uniquely flavored "cocktail" mixed with various liquids was served to Chen Ya and Liu Ruying.

Liu Ruying was about to vomit.

When she saw this bottle, she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit up everything she had eaten.

So she simply closed her eyes tightly and refused to look at them.

But the voice in my ear kept reminding me that this was real.

"Alright, we've combined everyone's opinions and come up with a new one," Sister Hua said. "Then how about this: you finish this in one go, and I won't hold it against you for hitting my brother in my place. How about that?"

Liu Ruying covered her face.

She dared not look, nor dared to think about what was about to happen.

She dared not think about what she would face after Chen Ya drank it, nor dared to guess what would happen to them if they didn't drink it.

She had heard of people being forced to drink alcohol to death, only to be later found guilty of drinking themselves to death; she had also heard of people being dragged to hotels and raped while drunk, only to find no evidence to prove it.

She was certain that some of the urban legends she had heard were, and quite possibly some of them were related to the people in front of her.

"What will happen if I don't drink it?" Chen Ya asked.

"I won't drink," Sister Hua said coldly, looking at him. "Now that we're behind closed doors, I'll be frank with you. I won't let you die, but I'll make you experience what it's like to wish you were dead. I have hundreds of ways to deal with you."

"Do you know that I can break your arms and legs, but there's no way to find out that it was us? You'll be bedridden for the rest of your life, but we'll only have to pay some money, or even nothing at all."

"Official officials? Sister Hua has friends all over the world, and everyone is a brother. Do you think they would make things difficult for you, Sister Hua?"

"Court? Excuse me, Sister Hua has probably been to court more times than you've slept with women. What's wrong with me? I'm just sitting here perfectly fine."

"A while ago, my brother hit someone with his car, one dead and one injured. The dead one was easy to deal with, he just paid a few hundred thousand in compensation. The injured one was a bit more difficult to deal with, but luckily he didn't have any money, so he just dragged it out and died."

"As for their subsequent appeals, what can I do? I drive a Mercedes, but I don't have a single penny. Do you think I'll get any money?"

After recounting her classic case, Sister Hua smiled and said, "So, do you still dare to challenge your Sister Hua?"

Chen Ya smiled.

"No, no, how could I dare?"

He picked up the bottle of "cocktail" from the table, turned to Liu Ruying, and said:

"Come on, let's toast Sister Hua. To show our respect, let's go over and offer our toast."

After saying that, he tugged at Liu Ruying's hand.

Holding her hand, he led Liu Ruying over to Sister Hua's side.

Liu Ruying was confused and didn't know what he was trying to imply, but she was also afraid that he would do something irrational.

Sister Hua wasn't afraid at all. She placed one hand on the table, fiddling with a Zippo lighter, while watching him with amusement.

"Before the toasts, as is customary, I'd like to say a few words," Chen Ya said with a smile to everyone, then looked at Sister Hua, "Sister Hua, can you give me this time?"

Sister Hua smiled, a very gentle smile.

“Sure, you can say that you have plenty of time before you finish drinking, and everyone will stay here with you, as long as you don’t make me lose patience. You say so.”

Chen Ya smiled and said, "Thank you everyone. You've shown me just how arrogant a group of ignorant and overconfident people can be."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sister Hua's expression changed.

Chen Ya still smiled at Sister Hua, but his words were as cold as a harsh winter:
