Chapter 815: Chapter 815: Drinking Wine
Zhang He’s ho was located by the river, nestled within a thick bamboo grove.
Only upon entering the grove did Ling Feng realize it wasn’t an unspoiled wilderness but appeared so because of the dense vegetation.
In fact, all these plants were artificially planted.
And there was more than just Zhang He’s ho in the woods; gaps in the shrubbery revealed other buildings, clearly indicating that this was a high-end community.
Indeed, after walking a few dozen ters further, a large gate appeared, guarded by six security personnel.
Chen Xiao, obviously not his first ti here, drove straight up and the gates automatically opened.
Once they arrived at Zhang He’s doorstep, the lawn in front of the villa had already been set up with tables and chairs, and a person was squatting on the grass, vigorously fanning the air.
At a glance, Ling Feng knew it was Zhang He and couldn’t help but laugh, "Is this guy planning to have a barbecue?"
Getting out of the car, it was indeed so, as Zhang He had set up a small barbecue grill and was trying to light a fire!
Seeing his face covered in soot, Ling Feng was sowhat speechless, "Hey, big brother, if you’ve never done it before, maybe don’t force yourself, okay?"
"I’m doing all this to welco you, and this is the thanks I get!" Zhang He glared at him as he retorted.
"Fine, leave it to . Don’t burn good food to a crisp and waste it!"
Ling Feng squatted down and bumped Zhang He right out of the way.
Their levels were quite different, and Zhang He couldn’t resist at all, nearly tumbling over.
Chen Xiao and Zhang ng, upon seeing this, could only hold back their laughter, not daring to let out a giggle for fear of being scolded!
With practiced ease, Ling Feng lit the charcoal and waited for it to burn thoroughly, until the coals were glowing red, at which point Zhang He asked, "Isn’t that enough? Why are you still fanning?"
"You don’t understand, do you? Barbecue is about using the embers, not the red-hot charcoal; otherwise, the temperature is too high!" Ling Feng explained.
"Eh, I really didn’t know that!"
Zhang He scratched his head, then looked up at Chen Xiao and Zhang ng, "What are you standing around for? Go help get the stuff!"
"Alright, sure thing!"
The two hurried into the villa’s kitchen.
As he tended the charcoal, Ling Feng turned to ask, "Where’s your sister-in-law?"
"She’s gone to her parent’s ho, won’t be back tonight, so we can drink all night long!" Zhang He said with a laugh.
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng understood, "So it’s not just about entertaining ; you’re just looking to have a good ti while the sister-in-law is away!"
"Heh heh, a bit of both, a bit of both!"
Zhang He’s face was blooming with joy as he spoke with a smile.
Ling Feng rolled his eyes but didn’t mind. Once Chen Xiao brought out various types of skewers, he began to grill them attentively.
While grilling, he couldn’t help but tease himself, "I traveled a long way just to co here and end up grilling at for you!"
"That was your own eager offer, fearing waste, can’t bla !"
Zhang He said this while preparing the cold dishes.
Half an hour later, the food was ready.
A full table with one-third skewers, one-third cold mixed dishes, and the rest comprised entirely of cooked food. Ling Feng glanced at the dishes, then looked up at Zhang He, "So this is your idea of a proper welco?"
"What else? Even if I brought out lobster and abalone, it wouldn’t be better than the food at your place, so might as well keep it simple!" Zhang He said with confidence.
"Okay, I give up!"
Ling Feng shook his head helplessly, and was about to start drinking beer when Zhang He stopped him!
"That’s for later, drink this first!"
As he spoke, he took out a bottle of white liquor from a carton at his feet.
Ling Feng caught a glimpse inside the box; it was newly opened, still containing five more bottles!
"No way, you got this much booze?" Ling Feng asked in astonishnt.
"Four big guys, six bottles of liquor still too many?" Zhang He chuckled and directly handed a bottle to him. "Grab a bottle and drink!"
"..."
Ling Feng was speechless, managing a bitter smile. "This is like when there’s no tiger in the mountains, and the monkey becos the king. How co you never drank like this at my place?"
"Nonsense, with Bai Qian around, would I dare?" Zhang He gave him a glance.
Seeing him so brazenly shaless, Ling Feng had no coback. He turned to Chen Xiao and Zhang ng and said, "See that? That’s your boss for you, completely lacking any dignity of a man!"
"Hehe, if I could marry a girl like sister-in-law, I’d be willing to do the sa!" Chen Xiao said.
Zhang ng was nodding repeatedly as well, "Right, right, I’d be willing too!"
"That’s what I call true brothers!"
Zhang He voiced his approval and handed each of them a bottle of white liquor. "Co on, drink up!"
Ling Feng wasn’t afraid of drinking too much. No matter how hardcore the white liquor, once it hit his stomach, it would be neutralized. He wasn’t afraid no matter how much he drank.
Ever since he had practiced the Mind Soul Art, his control over his body had beco smoother and smoother, and he had gradually reached the level where he could manipulate his muscles at will.
However, very few people knew about this, and he didn’t want more people to find out. After all, a special ability was most powerful when no one knew about it, right?
So they ate and drank, and soon after three rounds of drinks, Ling Feng looked at Zhang He, whose face was red as a monkey’s butt. "I’m saying, everyone’s here, why haven’t you told
the mission details yet?"
"No talking about work while we drink. I’ll tell you tomorrow!" Zhang He said.
"Fine, but you’ve got to tell
when we’re going to Mianluo Country," Ling Feng pressed.
"We’ll leave by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, no need to worry!"
Zhang He with bleary, drunken eyes. "You just got here, and you’re already in a hurry to go ho?"
"Is it okay if I stop asking?"
Ling Feng was at a loss for words and just rolled his eyes at him.
They drank until dawn, and eventually Ling Feng stopped neutralizing the alcohol altogether and just relied on his body to digest it.
Otherwise, while the other three were all fuzzy from drinking, if he himself remained unusually clear-headed, it would have felt sowhat improper!
In the end, all four big n drank too much, not even able to understand their own mumbling.
Fortunately, the houses in this neighborhood were far apart, otherwise they would surely have been disturbing the peace.
When he woke up the next morning, Ling Feng felt sothing wet on his face and realized it was dew after touching it with his hand.
Turning his head, he saw that Zhang He and the others were also lying on the grass, sound asleep!
The early morning sun filtered through the trees, surrounded by the sounds of insects and birds, creating a real tropical rainforest atmosphere.
Ling Feng felt his head was a bit heavy, so he scratched his head and sat up, stretching lazily.
At the sa ti, he felt sothing fall beside him, so he turned his head to look.
Just then, he caught sight of a white lump falling straight onto Zhang He’s face with a splat!
On closer inspection, Ling Feng burst into laughter!
It was a blob of bird poop!
Lucky for Zhang He, he was deep in sleep. If he had been awake, he probably would have jumped up in disgust and rage, wouldn’t he?
Just as he was silently chuckling, a car glided silently by and stopped at the doorway.
Ling Feng turned his head to look and imdiately stiffened!
The person getting out of the car was none other than Bai Qian!
He thought to himself that he was in deep trouble and quickly pinched Zhang He awake!
