As Jiang Jinchuan watched Lin Yuan being escorted out of the police station, he seemed to be searching for something on his face, but unfortunately, he found nothing.
"Are you really not going to do the paternity test?"
"There's no point in doing it, and don't you think that would just create trouble for me?"
Lin Yuan shot him a glance before stepping inside again.
It seemed clear now that the other party intended for him to take the blame. Lin Muzhi would definitely have to serve a few years in prison, and what would happen afterward was hard to say. If he went to the Lin family at this moment, he would probably be devoured by them. Lin Yuan felt he was no match for them. The pain of this situation was indeed real, and so was his sadness.
Out of nowhere, Jiang Jinchuan uttered a remark.
A few days passed, and Zhou Xuan had invited Shangguan Yao several times; almost every time, Lin Yuan accompanied her. However, the police still lacked concrete evidence, so he could only say he was on standby. Even if the other side had already noticed him, it didn't matter.
If you can endure, then endure it well.
"Are we just going to leave that person out there? He shouldn't be underestimated."
Shangguan Yao stirred her coffee absentmindedly.
Anyone could see that her current state was much better than before; she appeared radiant and full of life. Clearly, she had encountered someone special.
"It's nothing; soon he'll have other matters to attend to. Are we going to the bar tonight?"
The bodyguards accompanying them were already waiting outside, indicating their relationship had grown closer.
"Oh, I haven't been there in ages."
At ten o'clock that evening, Lin Yuan's car stopped in front of a bar. This time, his actions were entirely personal; it was still unclear whether the police department would reimburse him for expenses—either way, he had to spend his own money now.
The two entered together, with the bodyguards following closely behind. As Lin Yuan approached, he noticed they had entered a private room. This particular room wasn't accessible to just anyone, so he casually found a spot at the bar and ordered a drink.
The music in the bar was electrifying, with everyone dancing wildly. However, there weren't too many people at that hour yet. A few bartenders were working behind the counter; the one preparing Lin Yuan's drink was a stunning woman with an alluring figure and delicate fingers that danced gracefully as she mixed drinks.
Unbeknownst to Lin Yuan, a small amount of colored powder slipped into his drink while it was being prepared. The simple light blue liquid quickly dissolved the powder before being poured into a tall glass, appearing particularly striking under the dazzling lights.
"Please, guest," a sultry voice called out, capturing Lin Yuan's attention.
Upstairs in a private room, Shangguan Yao clearly observed her movements. The powder in the wine glass piqued her curiosity, prompting her to speak up. "The police station had a deal with me; I wonder if Miss Shangguan is aware of it?"
The Shangguan family has too few members in the country, and their information network is lacking, so Shangguan Yao gently shook her head, not bothering to lie. "Why don't you tell me?"
"This consultant, Lin, proposed a condition for us to exchange all new types of drugs from the sea for him." Shangguan Yao keenly sensed something was off. "What are you exchanging?"
"A person—one of our companions." The fact that they were willing to trade so many new drugs indicated this person held significant value in their eyes. So why was the exchange not happening now?
"Don't be surprised. That person is no longer useful, so I thought, since the police can't investigate those things right away, why not let them taste it themselves?" Shangguan Yao looked at the man smiling under the dim light. She felt that he was no longer the same person she had seen before.
"Is everyone from the Green Serpent this reckless?" The woman's methods were quite subtle; if she weren't someone who frequented bars, she wouldn't have noticed.
People like them had experienced much. If Miss Shangguan had tasted that flavor, she would realize she couldn't distinguish it; the effects of the drug wouldn't manifest until two days later.
Zhou Xuan downed her drink in one go. However, her words were like those of a demon, urging a righteous police officer to consume drugs and fall into addiction—wasn't that a form of cruelty?
If drugs were truly that easy to quit, there wouldn't be so many people fighting over them.
At this moment, all eyes were on Lin Yuan. In reality, he ordered the drink not for enjoyment; he had already consumed enough beverages in the car. It was simply that bars had a minimum spending requirement.
For the next half hour, they all stared at Lin Yuan with an expression of helplessness. The female bartender received instructions through her earpiece: "Make him drink that glass."
It had already been quite some time; what was served now was ice-cold liquor, and he would be even less inclined to drink it.
Watching Lin Yuan sitting sideways at the bar, the woman curled her red lips into a smile. There were so many admirers in this bar; securing one deal was just a matter of course—there was no need for further conversation.
"Sir, do you not like the drink I made for you?"
The voice drew Lin Yuan's attention away from the view upstairs. He had been waiting for someone to come down, but since no one did, he decided to enter the system directly.
"No, it's just that I simply don't enjoy drinking."
"If I were to drink, I would prefer the kind of beer you find at a barbecue stall. If you have that, could you open a bottle for me?"
Who comes to a bar just to drink beer? To be precise, who comes to a bar solely for the purpose of drinking? Aren't they all here for the beautiful women?
The female bartender forced a smile. "Sir, we don't have beer here, but the drink in front of you has lost its original flavor. How about I mix you a fresh one?"
Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised. "You can do that?"
"Of course! Let me prepare a new one for you."
He hadn't noticed before, but this glass was quite unique; he could post a picture of it on social media later. The bartender assumed her method had worked and proceeded to add more ingredients into the glass. Meanwhile, Lin Yuan was busy texting Zhang Ya, letting her know he was at the bar.
When the new drink was placed in front of him, Lin Yuan snapped a quick photo and resumed his conversation.
What is Lin Yuan up to?
Zhou Xuan couldn't fathom this turn of events; surely even police officers must have some nightlife? On the opposite side, Shangguan Yao wore a complex expression. Not only Zhou Xuan but even she believed Lin Yuan would drink that glass.
In reality, they all overlooked one crucial fact: Lin Yuan wasn't drinking because he had driven here today. A righteous individual who abides by organizational discipline knows that one must never drink and drive!
