Chapter 439 Crisis, Looming Threat
"Young Master Kong, do you really have to look for Brother Gou for something, or have you forgotten?" Blondie said, his face one of disbelief.
Ye Fan pointed to the vodka bottles on the ground and said, "Didn't you see the five or six bottles of vodka we two have drunk? This is foreign liquor, with an alcohol content as high as ninety-six percent. Right now, my head is buzzing and hurting like hell. I've completely forgotten what I was looking for Brother Gou for just now!"
"Is that so!" Blondie realized that Ye Fan really had drunk too much.
Although his alcohol tolerance wasn't bad, and he could handle a jin of baijiu, he never expected Ye Fan and Kong Haodong to down five or six bottles of vodka in one go—who could withstand that!
So, Blondie said, "Young Master Kong, didn't you say there was an eyesore named Ye Fan? You planned to drink him under the table tonight and then have Brother Gou take the opportunity to kill him while he's out of it. It's a pity Brother Gou isn't around, but he just personally called me to come and assist Young Master Kong. Do you remember now?"
"Ah? Yes, yes, yes, that's right, now that you mention it, I remember it all!"
Ye Fan feigned an epiphany and pointed to Kong Haodong, who was passed out on the floor, saying, "He is Ye Fan, already drunk to the ground by me. Now take him away and rough him up to death for me. When I sober up tomorrow, I'll personally treat the brothers to a drink, a good one!"
"Thanks, Young Master Kong!" Hearing Ye Fan's words, Blondie and his men were all excited.
The next moment, when Blondie saw Tang Shishi beside Ye Fan, he said with profound meaning, "Come on, quickly take this Ye Fan away for me!"
"Yes!" Two young men from the street immediately picked up the unconscious Kong Haodong.
Seeing Kong Haodong being lifted, Blondie chuckled and said, "Then we won't disturb Young Master Kong's pleasure, have fun!"
"Yeah, go ahead!"
To make it more convincing, Ye Fan deliberately wrapped his arm around Tang Shishi's shoulder.
Startled by Ye Fan's sudden embrace, Tang Shishi stiffened, her whole body petrifying in an instant.@@novelbin@@
Having never been this close to a man before, Tang Shishi's breathing hastened, and her heart fluttered with his arm around her shoulder.
Blondie gave a sycophantic smile and said, "Alright! Young Master Kong, just watch, we guarantee we'll deal with this eyesore without a hiccup!"
"Good, very good, off you go!" Ye Fan waved his hand dismissively.
Without further hesitation, Blondie took his men and left.
Seeing Kong Haodong taken away by Blondie and the others, Manager Gao didn't want anything bad to happen to him, so she quickly came over and asked Ye Fan, "Mr. Ye, who are these people exactly? What are they going to do with Young Master Kong?"
"Manager Gao, no need to worry. Young Master Kong was enjoying his drinks just now. He knew he was going to drink too much tonight, so he called his friend in advance. Just as Young Master Huang fainted, his friend took him home!" Ye Fan said with a straight face.
Hearing this, Manager Gao finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I see! Thank you for letting me know, Mr. Ye!"
"No problem, it's all trivial!" Ye Fan said with a light chuckle.
Manager Gao knew Kong Haodong was not a decent person as he often hung around with a bunch of street thugs. With Kong Haodong being carried away by a bunch of thugs, she wasn't surprised.
After Manager Gao left, Ye Fan's expression darkened, "I didn't expect this Kong Haodong to be so crafty, actually planning to drink me under the table and then set me up! Luckily, I'm immune to alcohol; otherwise, I might have really fallen into Kong Haodong's hands tonight!"
Thinking about how Blondie had mistaken himself for Kong Haodong, Ye Fan couldn't help but laugh and cry.
He knew Kong Haodong was in for a rough night, with Blondie and the others having taken him away by mistake, Kong Haodong would at least suffer a beating tonight.
"Big Brother Ye!"
Suddenly, a shy voice rang out.
Ye Fan then noticed Tang Shishi's blushing face, and he quickly let go of her and explained, "Shishi, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to take advantage of you. It's just that these people mistook me for someone else, and to get them to leave sooner, I had to embrace you. I'm sorry!"
"It's okay, Big Brother Ye, no problem!" Tang Shishi said, extremely bashful.
Tap-tap!
At this moment, a waiter pushed the trolley up.
Having placed the two steaks on the table, the waiter politely said, "I apologize for the wait, tonight is Friday, and we have an overwhelming number of reservations; the kitchen has been swamped and that's why it has taken so long. I'll make sure to give you a discount when you settle the bill!"
"No problem, go on with your work," Ye Fan smiled.
Just now, he had been drinking so fiercely with Kong Haodong that it led to Kong Haodong getting drunk before the steaks even arrived.
Ye Fan immediately changed the subject, "Shishi, the steaks look good. Hurry and try them before they cool down and lose their flavor!"
"Okay!" Tang Shishi nodded excitedly.
With Kong Haodong carried away by Blondie and his men, and without Kong Haodong present, the sight of the delectable steak made Tang Shishi's appetite surge.
Ye Fan said with a smile, "Actually, steak goes best with red wine. Would you like to try some red wine?"
"Isn't red wine a bit extravagant?" Tang Shishi asked softly.
Ye Fan chuckled, "Firstly, we're not the ones treating tonight, Kong Haodong is taking care of everything, so there's no need to worry about the cost of the meal! Secondly, it's Friday today, and school's out tomorrow, so it's okay to have a little wine! Most importantly, red wine with steak is all about the experience!"
"Then... then let's have a little taste!" Tang Shishi hesitated before speaking.
"Alright!"
Ye Fan said to the waiter, "Bring over the best red wine your restaurant has!"
"Sir, are you sure you want our best red wine?" the waiter asked earnestly.
This was Central Plains' top-tier Western restaurant, and although they didn't have Romanée-Conti worth a million per bottle, they did have 1982 Lafite, with each bottle starting at a hundred thousand.
Because 1982 Lafite had premium and lesser grades, the best tasting 1982 Lafite here sold for more than three hundred thousand per bottle.
Ye Fan nodded, "Of course! Bring over the best wine quickly. Don't you have foreigners here? If you don't know, they'll think I can't afford it!"
"One moment, sir, I'll go and get it for you right away," the waiter said respectfully.
Before long, a bottle of 1982 Lafite was brought over.
After pouring some wine for Tang Shishi, Ye Fan whispered with a smile, "Shishi, try this and see how it tastes!"
"Okay!" Tang Shishi nodded excitedly again.
After taking a small sip, a delicate blush rose on Tang Shishi's pretty face, which was quite charming.
Ye Fan asked, "How does it taste?"
"It's my first time drinking it, so I can't really tell good from bad, but it feels strange; overall, it's not bad!" Tang Shishi said with a blushing face.
Ye Fan nodded, "Yes, that's the feeling. I felt the same when I first tasted red wine!"
"Really? Big Brother Ye, don't you think I seem very unsophisticated?" Tang Shishi asked somewhat insecurely.

Ye Fan laughed heartily, "Unsophisticated? Why would you think that, Shishi? Everyone needs time to experience new things, and far from being unsophisticated, you're actually very cute!"
"You're not lying to me, are you?" Tang Shishi's heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey on hearing this.
Ye Fan said earnestly, "Of course not!"
Whoosh—
Whoosh whoosh—
Under the cover of night, several black sedans sped toward Junyuelai Western Restaurant. From the lead vehicle, the imposing figure of Skynet Headquarters' supreme assassin, Qin Hong, stepped off briskly.
Unaware of what was unfolding, Ye Fan continued his meal, clueless of the imminent danger.
What do you think?
