As Song Ning looked at the pain in Gu Zheng's eyes, her unease grew stronger and stronger.
She began rapidly sorting through everything she knew about Zhou Yuanhang...
Elder Zhou had returned to the Rong City Military District to spend his retirement. Before retiring, he had served in the General Military District. The Zhou Family's eldest son had reportedly died in the line of duty, though she did not know how. Their second child, a daughter, had married far away, while their youngest son had not joined the military, perhaps because of what had happened to his elder brother.

He raised the bottle and gulped down several large mouthfuls.
Apparently finding that insufficient, he tipped his head back and took several more...
Song Ning was stunned!
This was high-proof baijiu!
During dinner, they had only poured a small cup each.
Because it was so strong, she had stopped after half a cup. She still had a tough battle ahead of her tomorrow.
Jiang Chengshi had to serve as their "consultant" tomorrow, so they had not dared let him touch a drop.
What was Gu Zheng trying to do, drinking like this?

"Gu Zheng! Don't drink like that! This is strong liquor. If you drink too fast... you'll get drunk!"
Gu Zheng lowered the bottle
