Two trucks of reinforcements from Jiangbei

  Li Niang smiled and raised her wine glass, also saying "cheers", but only lightly touched her lips to the rim of the cup. To be precise, she merely moistened her lips with it. Although Long Shao's prepared medicine was very potent, just touching her lips wouldn't have any effect, would it? Long Shao's face immediately changed color as he said: "Director Li, you're looking down on me!"

  Li Yan asked: "Why did Long Shao say that?"

  "Our Longyang wine culture is that once the glasses touch, you must finish it. If not, it's a loss of face. Since General Li looks down on me, Young Master Long, I think we should just forget about this project."

  Long Shao's face was filled with indignation, as if he wanted to make a scene. Li Ni steeled herself and resolutely raised her wine cup, saying: "Fine, today I'll die accompanying the gentleman."

  Long Shao's face suddenly lit up with a smile, thinking to himself "You're still so tender", but actually said: "General Li is a heroic woman, Long Shao admires you, let's finish this cup of wine and from now on we'll be partners."

  As he spoke, his eyes stared tightly at Li Niang, afraid that she would play some trick, secretly pouring the wine or drinking it and then spitting it out.

  Li Niang was not that kind of person, she gritted her teeth and brought the wine cup to her lips, just about to drink it all in one gulp, when suddenly a hand stretched out from beside her and snatched the cup away.

  "Wei Li won't drink, I'll drink for her!" As soon as the words were spoken, the person who grabbed the wine raised his head and gulped down the whole cup in one go.

  Long Shaoyou was shocked and disappointed, but when he took a closer look, the person who had suddenly appeared and killed his way through was actually a slender girl wearing glasses, with an icy expression on her face. She looked like a cold and arrogant character, although she was also Long Shaoyou's type, but more of an appetizer, unlike Li Ni, who was a main course that could satisfy his hunger.

  "This cup doesn't count, let's start again!" Long Shao yelled, personally picking up the wine bottle to pour another drink for Li Niang.

  The one who helped Li Niang block the wine was her assistant Wei Zixuan. Tonight's situation is a bit bad, she has been searching for Liu Ziguo's figure in the crowd, hoping to find him to protect General Li, but she can't find him no matter what. Seeing that General Li's side is in danger, Wei Zixuan had to come over and block the wine herself. She who doesn't drink, drank down this big cup of red wine in one breath, and immediately felt a bit dizzy on the spot.

  "Long Shao, this is my assistant Wei Xiang, she can represent me." Li Nian explained politely.

  "No way, I don't care if she's an assistant or not, I only recognize you, Director Li. Today, this drink is either drinkable or not, but you have to drink it! I, Long Shao, am putting my words on the line here. If you're happy to drink with me, there will be a share for you in the project. But if you make me unhappy, then all of you can pack up and leave!" Long Shao's plan fell through, and he was furious. Since his trick of drugging Li Yun's wine had already been exposed, he might as well take off his mask and force-feed him!

  Seeing Long Shao bullying others, relying on his power to bully people and still wanting to pour wine for Li Zong, Wei Zi Xuan gritted her teeth and was about to go up when suddenly a hand landed on her shoulder: "Assistant Wei, I'm here."

  Turning her head, it was Liu Ziguang. Wei Zixuan's tears were about to come out, but she didn't show them in front of people, only biting her lip hard and not speaking.

  Liu Ziguang held a wine glass in one hand and a cigarette in the other, his eyes coldly fixed on Long Shao. Long Shao also stared at him fiercely, saying: "Director Li, I've made myself very clear, it's up to you now."

  Seeing Liu Ziguang arrive, Li Ni suddenly became extremely calm and said loudly: "Long Shao, is it because I accompanied you to drink today that our two families can cooperate?"

  Those who were drunk or half-drunk in the room turned their heads to look, even Director Song heard it. Everyone slowly gathered around to watch the excitement. Long Shao saw that Li Ni had taken the bait and patted his chest, saying: "I, Long Shao, am a man of my word! What I say counts!"

  "Alright, I'll drink with you. Let's switch cups and wine!" Li Ni tossed the red wine cup aside, grabbed two cylindrical water glasses, and seized an unopened bottle of Wuliangye. She poured it into the two cups, each one filled to the brim with a full four ounces of liquor!

  "Dragon Young, if you're a man, then let's get it done!" Li Ni handed Dragon Young a wine cup.

  Long Shao's eyes widened as big as a bronze bell, this little girl must have lost her mind, daring to challenge Long Shao at the wine table. Doesn't she know that Long Shao is a famous wine barrel in Longyang City? If you jump into the net yourself, don't blame me for being impolite.

  Long Shao took the wine cup and, without saying a word, gulped it down his throat. On the other side, Li Ni was also very straightforward, raising her cup to drink all four liang of wine in one go, without even taking a breath in between.

  The onlookers all exclaimed in surprise, Li was still a drunkard after all!

  Long Shao glanced around, the people from Zhicheng Group had almost all fallen down, only a few little girls who didn't drink were left. After a while, when Li Ni got drunk, he would just lift her into the room and enjoy himself. Thinking of this, he chuckled to himself, taking advantage of everyone's attention on Li Ni, he secretly dug out a small blue pill from his pocket and swallowed it.

  Long Shao has been overindulging in wine and women these past few years, so to perform better, he took a Viagra pill beforehand, and with his golden gun standing tall, it's definitely enough for Li Niang to drink a whole pot.

  Li Yan took another bottle of Wuliangye and opened it, saying to Long Shao: "Have another one."

  Long Shao sneered, extending the cup. I've been through dozens of years on this wine table, what are you little girl afraid of? Even if I get drunk, I still have so many men under me. Your security guards have already been taken care of by me, and there's only one person left who can fight. No matter how powerful he is, he can't stop my fifty people.

  Thinking of this, he fearlessly refilled his wine cup again, still four liang of wine, to toast with Li Ni for the second time.

  The onlookers let out a collective gasp, and Wei Zixuan was so startled that she almost jumped up. She frantically signaled to Liu Ziguo with her eyes, hoping he would step forward to help Li Niang decline the wine, but Liu Ziguo pretended not to see it and stood there with his arms crossed, sneering coldly.

  Wei Zixuan suddenly felt dizzy and was about to fall, but was caught by Li Ni who quickly instructed two of the female staff members who had not been drinking: "Xiao Li, Xiao Han, you two take Wei Zixuan back to her room."

  Wei Ziqian was supported away, the fierce battle on the wine table continued. Long Shao's alcohol capacity was not bad, but after drinking eight liang of wine, he felt a bit dizzy. With drunken eyes looking at the beautiful Li Niang, it became even more unbearable. However, there were still so many annoying people present, making it difficult to take action. He shouted loudly: "That's enough, let's disperse!"

  The guests saw that Long was furious and retreated one after another, got in their cars and left. Director Song also left with a helpless expression. The banquet hall of the Xiyuan Hotel was left with only people from Shen Zhou and Zhicheng, and the atmosphere became somewhat uneasy.

  After drinking so much wine, Li Ni was as steady as Mount Tai, not even her face turned red. She still wanted to pour wine for Long Shao, but Long Shao flipped the cup over and stuck it on the table, saying: "I won't drink anymore."

  "Is Long Shao already satisfied so quickly?" Li Ni sneered, holding up a wine bottle.

  Long Shao smiled and lit a cigarette, which was immediately ignited by someone beside him. He took a deep drag before saying, "Drinking is so boring, why don't we go to the room and have some tea instead, and take this opportunity to have a deeper conversation."

  Long Shao finally showed his fox tail, Li Wan understood that the other party's goal was herself. She coldly smiled and said: "Long Shao, stop while you're ahead, I've already given in a lot."

  "Concession? It's clearly me who made concessions. A project worth tens of billions, which is obviously a project for our province, was given to you people from Jiangbei instead. I've sacrificed a lot, can't you just sacrifice once?" Long Shao's eyes were red with anger as he spoke directly.

  "Sorry, I've reached my limit. The cooperation between the two families is limited to this. Excuse me." Li Ni said and stood up to leave.

  "Don't even think about leaving!" Long Shao slammed his hand on the table, and the dozens of thugs sitting around him all stood up. On Li Ni's side, except for Liu Ziguang who was still sober, Yin Zong and Cao Dahua were both drunk beyond recognition. If Long Shao really wanted to force his way, in this remote West Garden Hotel, it would be a hopeless situation.

  The banquet hall was empty, the waiters had long since left, and Long Shao's thugs sneered as they closed in, many of them hiding short knives and daggers in their sleeves, looking like they were going to play rough.

  Yin and Cao Dahua were filled with regret, originally thinking that the Xiyuan Hotel would be safer, but unexpectedly they still couldn't escape Long Shao's evil clutches. This Long Shao Ping was like a parasite attached to their bones, determined to push Zhicheng people to the end of the road before stopping!

  Li Yan was also a bit flustered, not because she couldn't drink, but because she was completely immune to alcohol. If Long Shao wanted to compete in drinking, she wasn't afraid at all, but if they were going to play rough, she wouldn't have the upper hand. Was she really going to suffer this humiliation tonight? Thinking of this, Li Yan couldn't help but shudder with fear and anger.

  Now, the only one he can rely on is Liu Ziguo behind him.

  Now that things have come to this, Liu Ziguang also had no choice but to take action. He cleared his throat and stood up lazily, took out his phone and pressed the redial button, saying: "Hello, it's time to come out."

  The banquet hall of the Xiyuan Hotel is located on the second floor, with a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows facing the hotel's entrance. After Liu Ziguang hung up the phone, he saw that outside the entrance, in the darkness of night, sixteen dazzling beams of light suddenly lit up.

  Then came the roar of engines, two Dongfeng trucks led the way, honking their loud horns as they drove in from outside. The hotel's gate was always open, and the two trucks drove in, screeching to a halt with a "ga" sound. Next, six sedans drove in, parked boldly at the entrance of the hotel, and began to unload people.

  Long Shao stood up involuntarily and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scene below in a daze. He saw two Dongfeng trucks full of people, all sturdy young men holding pickaxes and iron pipes, getting off the truck one after another, cursing and swearing as they formed a team in the hotel parking lot. The crowd was dense, with what seemed to be dozens of people wearing steel helmets and uniforms, totaling over a hundred people.

  "What the hell is going on here!" Long Shao stamped his foot heavily, and his trusted subordinate, Bald Horse, immediately led a few men down.

  Li Niang looked at Liu Ziguang with gratitude, and Liu Ziguang raised his cup to her in a gesture of understanding, everything was left unspoken.

  The bald-headed man took a few people downstairs, went over to ask about the other's background, but unexpectedly the other was a young punk with yellow-dyed hair, who without saying a word slapped the bald-headed man on the head, hitting him so hard that his eyes saw stars and he stumbled.

  People from both sides rushed up with a loud shout, scolding each other in Jiangbei dialect and Longyang dialect, the situation was tense, and they seemed to be on the verge of fighting.
