Chapter 469: Chapter 392: The Lord General Is Paying Tonight
After ordering the grilled skewers,
Lin Yi also ordered a case of beer.
"Chief, we’re still on duty. Is it really okay to drink?"
Wei Shang asked with a frown.
The Town Martial Department had a rule against drinking during work hours.
Lin Yi smiled and looked at them.
"We’re not in the New District now, so there aren’t as many rules!"
"Besides, getting a little tipsy is harmless fun!"
"We haven’t had a proper break since we got here!"
"Think of having a couple of drinks as a way to relax!"
"Once everything here is taken care of, I’ll treat you all to a great meal when we get back to the New District!"
After Lin Yi finished speaking,
Wei Nan also nodded with a smile. "The Lord General has spoken. What are you guys still thinking about?"
"Let’s eat and drink up! The Lord General is paying for everything tonight!"
After he said this,
Wei Shang and Feng Lei exchanged a glance.
They cast aside their worries and nodded.
"Alright, since the Lord General has spoken, we won’t hold back!"
"Time to get a little tipsy..."
"Boss, bring the beer over first!"
"You got it!"
A nearby waiter, who was standing by, quickly called out in response.
A moment later, he was seen carrying a case of beer over to them.
He also brought over a complimentary plate of peanuts and a small dish of seasoned vegetables to go with the drinks.
"Take your time drinking, gentlemen. These two side dishes are on the house. The skewers will be ready soon!"
After speaking, the waiter opened a few bottles of beer and placed them in front of the men.
Once he was done, he offered a few more pleasantries and moved on to the other tables.
Lin Yi poured himself a glass and said with a smile, "Brothers, you’re all older than me and definitely more experienced!"
"I’ve only just joined the Town Martial Department, so I’m sure I have many shortcomings!"
"From now on, don’t stand on ceremony with me. If I’m ever doing something wrong, please don’t hesitate to correct me!"
Hearing this, Wei Shang shook his head with a smile.
"Lord General, you’re being far too modest!"
"Ever since you became the General Director, you’ve led us all over the place, chasing down members of the Blood Handprint!"
"Honestly, we’ve fought our way from the New District all the way to the Old District!"
"And then we chased them from the Old District all the way here. Every single one of your commands has been correct!"
After Wei Shang finished, Feng Lei nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"That’s right. I, for one, am completely convinced!"
Shan Kui also smiled. "Yeah, things have never gone this smoothly since I started following the General Director!"
"Chasing down and killing those bastards has been incredibly satisfying!"
Seeing them all say this,
Lin Yi also nodded with a smile and said, "It’s fate that brought us together. Come on, let’s have a drink?"
"To that!"
"Come on, down the hatch!"
The men all burst into laughter.
They all raised their glasses and, tilting their heads back, drained their beer in one go.
However, the moment they put their glasses down,
Lin Yi’s gaze flickered around their surroundings.
The corner of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up.
But he showed no other reaction.
He just continued to pour more drinks and drink with Wei Nan and the others.
Another ten minutes or so passed, and the grilled skewers were brought over one after another.
The waiter said with a smile, "Take your time, fellas. Just give me a shout if you need anything!"
Lin Yi nodded. "Alright, you go on and get back to your work."
"You got it!"
With a smile on his face, the waiter walked away to attend to other tables.
However, just as Lin Yi and his men were halfway through their drinks,
a few cars suddenly drove up from not far away.
They stopped right in front of the food stall.
The car doors opened, and several people got out.
The moment they got out, their eyes all glanced toward Lin Yi’s table.
However, they didn’t approach Lin Yi’s group.
Instead, they walked over to a few empty tables and sat down.
The waiter hurried over to them.
He also took out a few menus for them to order skewers.
Lin Yi paid them no mind at all, continuing to drink and eat skewers with Wei Shang and the others.
After they had all pretty much finished eating and drinking,
Lin Yi called the waiter over.
"Is there anything else you gentlemen need?" the waiter asked, his face all smiles.
"The check!"
"Alright, I’ll go print out your bill!"
The waiter turned and went back inside.
A short while later, he came out with the bill.
Lin Yi glanced at the price. They had eaten so much and drunk a whole case of beer.
Yet the price was just a little over three hundred yuan. Lin Yi nodded with a smile and said, "Not bad, that’s not expensive!"
At that price, it was only about fifty yuan per person.
Getting barbecue anywhere else would definitely cost more than that.
After paying the bill, Lin Yi, Wei Shang, and the others got up and walked out.
The waiter even walked them out a few steps with enthusiasm.
As they left the food stall, the men were all swaying a bit as they walked.
「In the pitch-black night.」
Although Yangtou City didn’t have a "curfew," so to speak,
by the time it was deep into the night, there were hardly any people on the streets.
When the night wind blew, a wave of dizziness hit them, and the alcohol seemed to go straight to their heads.
Nevertheless, the men talked and laughed as they staggered back toward their respective hotels.
"Chief, we’re here. We’re going to head back and get some sleep!"
Wei Shang and Shan Kui were the first to reach their hotel.
They said goodbye to Lin Yi and walked inside.
After walking another three streets, Wei Nan and Feng Lei also went back.
In the end, only Lin Yi and Ah Jiu were left, walking back toward their hotel.
