Chapter 069 Slaughtering You to Death
Su Rui led Xia Qing into the tea restaurant, heading straight for the high-end dining area. Seeing this, Li Daqing’s eyelids twitched violently. It was well known that in the high-end area of this tea restaurant, the minimum consumption couldn’t be less than two thousand yuan! This was completely setting up to fleece him!
“I didn’t expect Daqing to be so enthusiastic. Come on, let’s start ordering food, we shouldn’t disappoint Daqing’s good intentions!” Su Rui cheerfully waved to the waiter.
“Right, Daqing?” Su Rui said with a smile.
“Yes, yes, yes…” Li Daqing nodded repeatedly, but thought to himself: “Yes, my foot!”
Su Rui flipped through the menu while asking, “Xia Qing, is there anything you’d like to eat?”
“You can order whatever you think is good,” Xia Qing said with a smile, looking absolutely beautiful.
“Alright then, I’ll just order a few inexpensive items. We can’t let our comrade Daqing lose too much money.”
Su Rui’s words made Li Daqing feel slightly relieved. He was drinking water when Su Rui’s next sentence nearly choked him to death!
“Waiter, give each of us one Australian lobster, yes, the largest ones. What? Only eight hundred yuan each? Then make it two for each of us.” Su Rui was acting completely like a rich tycoon, while Li Daqing across from him was already choking, his face turning bright red!
Xia Qing covered her mouth and giggled on the side. Six Australian lobsters – what kind of stomach would be able to hold all that? Su Rui was really funny. Just the lobsters alone cost four thousand eight hundred yuan. He was going to bankrupt Li Daqing!
“Also, these premium abalones, bring me a plate of those. What? They’re not sold by the plate? Then five for each person. Abalones are so small, just one bite each!”
Li Daqing suppressed the irritating acidic taste in his throat and said with a miserable face, “Ordering so much, won’t it be too much to finish?”
“How could it be too much? Besides, we’ve only ordered two dishes so far. Is that really a lot? Today, if we don’t order at least ten or twenty dishes, we’d be letting down Daqing’s treat!” Su Rui said very seriously. “Besides, today we’re not concerned about whether we can finish everything. It’s about making a statement. Necessary waste is also a kind of life pleasure. Not everyone can afford this kind of lifestyle.”
“Daqing, don’t you agree with me?”
“Right, right, right, absolutely fucking right.”
Li Daqing not only wanted to cry, he wanted to die.
“Well, let’s also have a grouper, and these shark fins look good too. Tsk tsk, just looking at them makes me want to try!”
Every sentence from Su Rui seemed to push Li Daqing further into the fire pit. Each time he heard Su Rui name a dish, his heart would violently tremble.
Finally, after Su Rui had ordered seven or eight dishes, he closed the menu with satisfaction.
Li Daqing’s suspended heart finally settled down a bit. His undershirt was completely soaked with sweat. After being on tenterhooks for so long, the ruthless Su Rui had finally stopped.
However, the stop was only temporary, because Su Rui suddenly slapped his forehead, as if he had forgotten something important!
“Oh my!”
“What’s wrong?” Xia Qing asked with concern.
“I forgot, I almost forgot to order drinks!” Su Rui quickly said. “Waiter, bring the drinks menu over here!”
And so, Li Daqing’s heart, which had just returned to his stomach, was suspended once again! This hateful guy, would he ever stop?
“Well, other drinks aren’t that interesting, let’s just have a bottle of Royal Salute,” Su Rui pointed at the drinks menu and said, “Yes, yes, yes, the one that’s twenty-eight thousand per bottle.”
Xia Qing could no longer hold back her laughter.
Li Daqing simply wanted to flee in panic!
Twenty-eight thousand for a bottle of wine, was this even letting people live? Looking at the table of dishes Su Rui had ordered, he would need at least fifty thousand yuan to pay the bill, but the house he sold yesterday was only worth sixty thousand!
This wasn’t just sucking blood, it was like using a water pump to drain him completely dry!
“Endure, endure, endure!” Li Daqing kept telling himself to hang on until his brother-in-law came to back him up. Then he’d see how these two would cry!
Damn it, this woman called Xia Qing, he must find an opportunity to break into her room and vent all the anger that had been suppressed for so long on her!
For revenge, Li Daqing was quite determined.
When the food and wine were served, Su Rui didn’t stand on ceremony and poured a glass for each of the three.
“None of us are driving anyway, so it’s fine to drink a little.” Su Rui raised his glass and clinked it with Li Daqing’s, saying, “Come on, cheers!”
With that, Su Rui tilted his head back and drained the glass in one go!
Li Daqing was on the verge of tears, his hand holding the wine glass trembling. Damn, this glass of wine cost over two thousand yuan! He could almost hear the sound of a knife scraping against his heart!
After finishing a glass of wine, Su Rui didn’t forget to twist the knife: “Wow, this is indeed Royal Salute at twenty-eight thousand a bottle. It tastes completely different from wine that costs twenty-eight yuan a bottle!”
Li Daqing said helplessly, “How could they be the same? Between twenty-eight thousand and twenty-eight, there are several zeros in between!”
Su Rui didn’t speak anymore after that. He picked up an Australian lobster and started devouring it enthusiastically, while stuffing abalones into his mouth at the same time. He really looked like someone who hadn’t eaten for days.
Seeing Su Rui’s whirlwind-like eating style, Li Daqing felt he couldn’t lose out, so he also grabbed an Australian lobster and started gnawing on it frantically. After all, he was paying the bill, and if Su Rui ate everything on the table, wouldn’t he have lost everything for nothing?
At this moment, a man entered the tea restaurant. He looked to be in his forties or fifties, wearing a jacket, somewhat fat, with a fierce expression on his face. He looked like someone with a bad temper at first glance.
As he walked over, he happened to see Li Daqing and Su Rui frantically eating lobster and seafood together. The two were eating with such gusto, neither giving way to the other. The man was stunned. What was going on? Hadn’t his brother-in-law called him to help teach someone a lesson? Why was he eating more happily than anyone else?
While the man was hesitating, Su Rui grabbed the Royal Salute, filled everyone’s glasses, and then proactively clinked glasses with Li Daqing, saying hurriedly, “Brother Daqing, to our friendship, cheers!”
Li Daqing didn’t care what Su Rui was saying. He just saw that Su Rui was going to drink, and he absolutely couldn’t drink less than him. Wine at twenty-eight thousand a bottle, every sip was gold!
So, just like Su Rui, Li Daqing also tilted his head back and drained his glass in one go! To uninformed onlookers, it seemed like these two had a great relationship!
At this moment, Li Daqing felt someone watching him from behind. He turned around and saw it was his brother-in-law Wang Zhigao. He quickly said, “Brother-in-law, sit down, eat quickly, eat! We’ll talk after we’re full!”
Although Wang Zhigao was a police station chief, he rarely had the opportunity to eat Australian lobster. Seeing everyone feasting, he couldn’t resist anymore and unceremoniously grabbed one and started gnawing on it!
Seeing this, Su Rui knew that the person who was supposed to back up Li Daqing had arrived. He smiled coldly, then called the waiter and said, “I’m happy today, another good friend has joined us. Bring three more Australian lobsters!”
Hearing this, Li Daqing accidentally swallowed half a lobster leg! It scraped his throat, making it burn with pain!
“Cough, cough, cough!” Li Daqing covered his throat and started coughing violently, his face turning bright red!
“Oh, Daqing, I told you not to rush. Look at the state you’re in. Here, drink some wine to soothe your throat.” With that, Su Rui handed Li Daqing another glass of wine.
Looking at this glass of wine worth two thousand yuan, Li Daqing refused to drink it no matter what. This was like cutting his own flesh! Even if he choked to death, he wouldn’t drink it!
Seeing that Li Daqing was unwilling to drink, Su Rui immediately turned to Wang Zhigao and said, “Brother, you look like a straightforward person. Meeting you is fate. This glass of wine, I toast to you!”
“Good!” Wang Zhigao was a lover of good wine. He had been eyeing the bottle of Royal Salute, already drooling. Seeing Su Rui proactively toasting him, he couldn’t help but praise this young man for being so sensible and understanding.
Wang Zhigao quickly took the glass, stared at the crystal-clear wine, chuckled, tilted his head back, and drained it in one go!
“What’s your name, big brother?” Su Rui filled his glass again and asked with a smile.
“Wang Zhigao, I’m the chief of Xinnan Police Station.” Wang Zhigao had started as a patrol officer and worked his way up over many years, finally getting the opportunity to become a station chief. Therefore, he was quite proud of his position.
“My name is Su Rui. If you don’t mind, you can call me Brother Su.” Su Rui raised his wine glass and said, “Chief Wang, meeting you is fate. Come, let’s drink together!”
“Hehe, good, let’s drink!”
Wang Zhigao raised his wine glass and drank with gusto. This Royal Salute tasted hundreds of levels better than the erguotou he usually drank!
Li Daqing watched as Wang Zhigao and Su Rui drank together, and immediately said angrily, “Brother-in-law, it’s him, he’s the one who stole my house. You have to stand up for me!”
Hearing this, Wang Zhigao put down his empty glass, looked at Li Daqing, then at Su Rui, his eyes full of confusion.
This brother-in-law was really funny. Someone stole your house, and you’re sitting here eating Australian lobster with him happily? Are you crazy or am I crazy? Besides, this Su Rui looked refined and cultured, not at all like a rude, violent man who would steal someone’s house.
“Are you telling the truth?” Wang Zhigao asked suspiciously.
Li Daqing said with a miserable face, “It’s true, brother-in-law, it’s this guy who used violence to steal my house!”
Hearing this, Wang Zhigao looked at Su Rui and said seriously, “Su Rui, drinking is one thing, but some things need to be clarified.”
“Chief Wang, please speak freely!”
“Did you steal Li Daqing’s house or not?”
“Steal? Why would I steal? We never stole his house!” Su Rui said with an innocent face. “I don’t know where Daqing got this idea from. We were just drinking happily together, Chief Wang, you saw it with your own eyes!”
