How About... Getting the Kid Drunk on More Alcohol at Tonight's Late-Night Snack?

Bai Jin blinked, hesitating before he said, "I don't think that person drove like a professional racer. Second Young Master Huo, you'd better investigate him more thoroughly."

At that, everyone else in the car looked at Bai Jin. Huo Hongbao was the first to press him. "Bai Jin, do you know something? Tell me."

Bai Jin's eyes flickered, and even his tone carried a hint of caution. "When I was abroad and hung around the motorcycle racing scene, I never heard of that person."

Bai Jin was naturally far more skilled at racing than he claimed, so Huo Hongbao trusted his words completely. "You mean he was an impostor?"

Lu Chengze and Huo Jinnian exchanged a look, both deep in thought.

Bai Jin took in their reactions and nodded, focusing on answering Huo Hongbao's question. "Maybe. Among the racers I knew who retired within the past five years, there was no such person."

Huo Hongbao slapped his thigh angrily. "Fuck! I knew that guy looked unreliable. Turns out he was a fake."

The corner of Huo Jinnian's mouth twitched. He mercilessly exposed Huo Hongbao. "That wasn't what you said when you called and coaxed me into coming to watch the race."

Huo Hongbao's little face fell, full of grievance. "Bro, can't you leave me some dignity?"

Lu Chengze said, "Xu City hasn't been peaceful lately. That person chose this time to come to the country, and specifically chose Huo Hongbao's club..."

Huo Jinnian picked up the thought. "He probably has ulterior motives. I'll call and have them investigate thoroughly."

Over at the club, people from the relevant departments were still examining the scene.

At that point, Lu Chengze naturally took over. "I'll make the call. The people from the police station can head over together. If they really find something wrong, they can haul him straight to the police station."

"Alright." Huo Jinnian waited until Lu Chengze finished the call before asking, "How did your investigation go tonight? Did you catch anyone?"

This case was no longer classified, so Huo Jinnian had asked while Huo Hongbao was present because he wanted him to hear just how unsafe Xu City had become amid the undercurrents of various forces.

Bai Jin's attention was drawn over as well, and he looked at Lu Chengze alongside Huo Hongbao.

"Don't mention it. We were a step too late. The twelve assassins who snuck into Xu City from abroad had already gone into hiding. We're still checking their exact locations." Lu Chengze felt inexplicably irritated as he spoke.

What had been going on lately?

He always seemed to be one step behind.

Bai Jin pretended to nervously grab Lu Chengze's sleeve and asked, "Fifth Master, are those assassins all here because of the drug lord who was killed before? Since they all snuck in, will they target me?"

Lu Chengze clasped Bai Jin's hand in his palm. "Don't worry. With me here, they won't dare show themselves."

The moment they surfaced, his people could take them out in seconds.

"I see..." Bai Jin paused. Though he still looked nervous, he gave Lu Chengze a grateful smile. "Thank you, Fifth Master. You're so good to me."

Lu Chengze's heart skipped happily. His fingertips itched terribly, but with others nearby, he could only tighten his grip on Bai Jin's hand. "Good that you know."

The kid's way of praising people was truly adorable and straightforward.

Lu Chengze enjoyed it immensely.

Especially when that pair of dark, cool peach-blossom eyes looked at him, even erectile dysfunction could be cured in an instant.

Fuck! He was getting hard again!

Lu Chengze took a deep breath and discreetly suppressed the desire flaring in his chest. Being able to look and touch but not fuck was fucking unbearable!

How about... getting the kid drunk on more alcohol at tonight's late-night snack?

A well-behaved kid like Bai Jin probably could not hold his liquor.

They were both men, and he was Bai Jin's boyfriend now. Sleeping together should not count as overstepping, right?

Besides, compared to women's emotional nature, men sought more sensory stimulation in relationships.

Thus, after they arrived at the hotel and ordered a table full of late-night food, Lu Chengze had the hotel manager bring over four cases of beer.

One case per person. No one was allowed to leave until they finished.

Seeing the unmistakable smile in Lu Chengze's eyes, Bai Jin pretended to be troubled. "...Fifth Master, I don't have a good tolerance for alcohol. I can't finish this much."

"It's fine. We'll talk if you can't finish." Lu Chengze immediately brightened.

Low alcohol tolerance?

Hehe!

Just as he had guessed.

A well-behaved kid like Bai Jin probably had never even been to a nightclub, right?

But one day later, when Lu Chengze personally saw Bai Jin, who had said goodnight to him just a minute earlier, appear in a nightclub's dazzling dance floor the next second, his wildly moving body nearly setting the entire place ablaze, he wanted nothing more than to grab him, shove him into the car, and fuck him hard.

But for now, Bai Jin was just a soft, fluffy ball of cotton in Lu Chengze's eyes.

He could knead him into any shape he wanted.

"Come on, eat something first to line your stomach." Lu Chengze eagerly put on disposable gloves and began peeling crayfish for Bai Jin.

Bai Jin did not refuse. Whatever Lu Chengze put into his bowl, he ate.

Watching Fifth Master Lu coax Bai Jin like a big bad wolf luring Little Red Riding Hood, Huo Hongbao opened and closed his mouth. Several times, he wanted to warn the innocent, easily deceived Bai Jin, but stopped himself.

His brother stopped him every time.

His brother said Bai Jin was Lu Chengze's boyfriend now. What happened between lovers was none of an outsider's business.

More importantly, his brother's next words made him afraid to say anything.

"Be careful, or you'll get beaten up."

Fine!

Though he would not submit to force, Fifth Master Lu's beatings hurt like hell.

Huo Hongbao silently shed a tear of sympathy for Bai Jin.

Bai Jin, it's not that I won't help you! Fifth Master Lu is just too brutal.

"Thirsty? Come on, drink a beer to wet your throat." Lu Chengze pulled open a can of beer one-handed and personally held it to Bai Jin's lips.

Bai Jin looked at Lu Chengze, then, under his expectant gaze, drank the entire can in big gulps from the man's hand.

"Burp." Bai Jin let out a beer burp. "My stomach's bloated."

Seeing the flush on Bai Jin's face spread all the way down his neck and collarbones, with even the chest hidden beneath his collar likely red, Lu Chengze's mouth went dry.

Bai Jin really could not drink.

After just one can of beer, he was already nearly drunk.

Bai Jin swayed as he stood up. "Fifth Master, I... I need to use the restroom."

"Alright, I'll help you there." Lu Chengze got to his feet as well.

Perhaps the alcohol had gone to his head, but Bai Jin slapped Lu Chengze's muscular chest. "I'll go myself! I can go by myself!"

"Alright, alright, you can go yourself. I'll just take you to the restroom door." Bai Jin's slap did not hurt at all, and Lu Chengze was not annoyed. He even coaxed him gently.

Actually, their private room had its own restroom.

Only then did Bai Jin agree. Leaning against Lu Chengze, he staggered crookedly toward the restroom door ten steps away.

"You're not allowed to come in." Bai Jin clung to the door, refusing to let Lu Chengze follow him inside.

Lu Chengze could only stop and watch Bai Jin enter the restroom, close the door, and lock it.

And the moment the lock clicked into place, the haze in Bai Jin's eyes vanished completely...
