Chapter 198: Chapter 126: Cousin’s Warning: Three Years Minimum

Liu Shao Lin was a bit stunned when his men reported that someone had come to wreck his bar.

After all, he had some connections in You City and hadn’t offended anyone. Why would someone suddenly show up to wreck his bar?

But since it was happening, he rushed over with his internal security.

However, when he saw the eight burly men standing on either side of a table, and that nothing seemed to be happening inside, it didn’t look like someone was there to wreck his bar.

Just then, the floor manager ran up to him and reported what had just happened. The manager had also been given a scare.

He was relieved to see they weren’t there to cause trouble.

Liu Shao Lin now understood it was all a misunderstanding. These men were clearly here to watch over the girls at the table. But with such a large entourage, who on earth were they?

At that moment, someone behind him whispered, "Liu, that young man is Boss Zhang from Li Yuan Farm!"

Hearing the name Li Yuan Farm, Liu Shao Lin subconsciously turned to the man and said, "Zhang, how do you know that?"

The man wasn’t one of his bar employees, but an auxiliary police officer. Since his cousin was in charge of the auxiliary police, Liu Shao Lin was on good terms with many of them. There were often situations where calling the actual police wasn’t ideal, but he still needed someone to handle things. In those cases, he could call on some of the auxiliary officers under his cousin’s command.

He would often treat these auxiliary officers.

The auxiliary officer named Zhang immediately said, "Liu, I was just transferred to the Li Yuan Farm area. Our chief invited him to join an inspection tour, so I’ve seen him before!"

Liu Shao Lin nodded and immediately walked toward the table, all smiles. When someone of that caliber came to his bar, he absolutely had to go over and offer a toast.

For anyone who was anyone in You City, who didn’t know about Li Yuan Farm now?

Moreover, he had some connections at the county level, so he had an even clearer picture of just how extensive Li Yuan Farm’s network was.

He had heard plenty of stories. The current wisdom in You City was that you could offend any other company, but you absolutely could not afford to offend Li Yuan Farm.

So, the more connected he was, the better he understood the situation.

When Liu Shao Lin reached Zhang Lin, he said with a hint of reverence, "President Zhang, welcome to our bar. I’m Liu Shao Lin, the owner of Extreme Bar. Allow me to offer you a toast!"

Zhang Lin learned the man’s identity from the introduction. He didn’t know him, but he figured the owner had come out because of Ye Ling and the other security guards, so he clinked glasses with him.

As the saying goes, you don’t turn away a friendly face. The man was toasting him with his glass held as low as it could go—a clear show of respect. His attitude couldn’t have been better.

"President Zhang, shall we add each other on WeChat? If you need anything here, you can contact me directly. I’ll take care of it for you!" Liu Shao Lin asked tentatively after putting down his glass.

’It would be great if he could get his WeChat, but if not, there’s nothing to be done. He had to at least try. It was like trying to pick up a girl—if you don’t even try to get her WeChat because you assume you’ll be rejected, how will you ever have a chance?’

Zhang Lin actually nodded and took out his phone, displaying his QR code for him.

A delighted expression instantly appeared on Liu Shao Lin’s face as he scanned Zhang Lin’s QR code.

The bar’s other patrons saw this scene unfold. Many of them knew the owner, Liu Shao Lin, and were aware that he had powerful connections. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to run the bar so smoothly.

But now, everyone could see that Liu Shao Lin was taking a very humble stance in front of that young man.

They had been curious about the young man’s identity before, but now they were even more intrigued.

All the signs added up, proving that the man was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

In any case, he was clearly someone they couldn’t afford to provoke.

Seeing Liu Shao Lin leave the table, an acquaintance quietly approached him and asked, "President Liu, who is that at the table?"

"President Wu, don’t ask. Just know that he’s out of your league. Don’t go looking for trouble," Liu Shao Lin warned directly.

"Of course not!" This President Wu scurried back to his own table.

But inwardly, he was even more shocked. ’To warrant such a warning from Liu Shao Lin, that person must be truly extraordinary.’

When President Wu returned to his table, the others there all started asking questions curiously.

"President Wu, who was that?"

"Yeah, what did President Liu say?"

"..."

How was President Wu supposed to know who he was? He could only deflect with, "Stop asking. In any case, he’s someone you can’t afford to offend."

...

After dealing with Liu Shao Lin, Zhang Lin noticed that Senior Brother Chen had already been drinking a lot by himself, his gaze fixed on Senior Sister Lin, who was dancing with a male model.

Not even the ear-splitting DJ music could drown out the sound of his heart shattering.

Eventually, Senior Brother Chen got completely drunk.

Zhang Lin looked at Fu Yao in his arms. She still hadn’t woken up. ’Looks like this girl can’t handle her liquor. I’ll have to remind her not to drink in the future. Anyone who pressures you to drink when you can’t is not a good person.’

Lin Muxue and the others didn’t plan on staying out for the second half of the night, either. When it was past midnight, they announced the party was over.

Zhang Lin looked at the drunk Senior Brother Chen and directly ordered Ye Ling to arrange for a security guard to take him back to the farm.

As for Senior Sister Lin, he was truly impressed. She had drunk a lot, yet she was still completely sober. Her tolerance for alcohol was surprisingly high.

Seeing her dejected look after she finished dancing, that post-release melancholy... she was clearly a woman with a story, someone who had probably been hurt by love before.

The male model walked her all the way to the door, his soul seemingly captivated by Senior Sister Lin. He was clearly hoping something might happen, but unfortunately, the moment Senior Sister Lin stepped out of the bar, she didn’t give him so much as a second glance.

"President Zhang, we’re all going to grab cabs and head home now. We’ll leave Fu Yao in your care!" Lin Muxue said, glancing at Fu Yao, who was still unconscious on Zhang Lin’s back. A knowing, suggestive look appeared in her eyes.

"..." Zhang Lin watched as Lin Muxue and the other girls coolly departed. He suddenly realized a problem: who was going to take Fu Yao home?

The key thing was, he had no idea where Fu Yao lived!

This...

Zhang Lin carried Fu Yao to the car and shook her a few times. "Fu Yao, wake up!"

Unfortunately, the girl didn’t react at all.

This was getting a little troublesome.

It seemed his only option was to take her to a hotel. The problem was, he didn’t know if she had her ID on her, and then there was the matter of her age.

’This is going to be a pain!’

With that thought, Zhang Lin took out his phone and called his cousin, Zhang Zhao.

"Lin, what’s up so late?"

"Zhao, I wanted to ask, would I get in trouble if I take a high school girl to a hotel to get a room?"

"Umm..." Zhang Zhao was clearly silent for a long time before he spoke up with a warning. "Lin, it depends on the situation. One thing is whether the girl is willing or not. But the key is, even if she’s willing, what if her family gets involved? Under pressure from them, would she change her story? A lot of guys end up in jail because the girl was willing at first, but then changed her story for that exact reason."

"Another thing is whether the girl is conscious. If she’s drunk, or unconscious for any other reason, then if something happens, you’re looking at a minimum of three years!"

"..." Hearing this, Zhang Lin was speechless. "Zhao, what are you even talking about? I’m not doing anything. I just want to get a room for her to rest!"

"Umm..." Zhang Zhao fell silent for another moment, then continued, "Lin, in that situation, you have to consider if there are any busybodies. For example, will the front desk clerk make a call? Or what if there’s a random police inspection? When that happens, even if you explain that you didn’t do anything, no one will believe you at first."

"So, Lin, if you have any bad intentions, I’m telling you to pull back from the brink. After all, you have a girlfriend. If you really have needs, go find your girlfriend. By the way, your girlfriend’s name is Fu Yao, right? You already have such a pretty girl, don’t mess around outside."

"..." Zhang Lin was speechless.

Just then, Zhang Zhao’s voice came through the phone again. "Lin, your sister-in-law and I are about to get busy. Remember, don’t mess around. If you have needs, go to your girlfriend, Fu Yao."

"What the hell?" Zhang Lin was completely thrown for a loop by his cousin. He looked at Fu Yao with a helpless expression.

This girl had just handed him a massive problem.
