Chapter 396 — How Do You Repay Kindness with Cruelty?

It was clearly impossible to go after Su Taiwei now. He had dashed out at top speed and by this point was surely already in a taxi; all they could do was pray he reached the hospital safe and sound.
"Heh, Brother Lin's got a point. We've all had a bit too much to drink and forgot about that!" An Liwen shot Su Taizao a look, signaling him not to do anything rash.
Only then did Su Taizao say nothing more, just drawing a deep breath to settle his emotions.
"I'm going to hit the restroom and drain the tank, then we'll pick it back up." Wei Zhao rose to his feet. This time he didn't opt to leave the private room—he walked straight into the washroom inside it.
After downing that many bottles of liquor, even if it had been water, Wei Zhao would have needed the toilet by now.
"Brother An, don't let this brat off easy!" Once Wei Zhao had gone into the washroom, Su Taizao lowered his voice and said, "Making Taiwei puke blood—I want him to pay for that!"
An Liwen nodded. "Execute plan two! Go tell the waiter that no matter what happens in this room later, they're not to open the door!"
"Heh heh! I told you ages ago, this trick is the way to go!" Su Taizao was overjoyed. He hurried out and gave the waiter a couple of instructions.
An Liwen, meanwhile, phoned his driver and said only one thing: "Bring up the inflatable doll we prepared in advance!"
"Is this reliable? Will it actually work?" Now that it came down to it, Su Taizao started to worry again.
"It should work, I'd say!" An Liwen said. "Brother Cihua gave it to me—there won't be any problem. He said it's the most advanced drug there is, called something like Invincible Eight-Times-Rōnin!"
As he spoke, An Liwen poured three glasses of red wine, then sprinkled a packet of powder into the glass on Wei Zhao's side.
"Good, then—hur hur, now we've got some fun in store..." Su Taiwei kept his voice as low as possible, trying not to laugh so loudly that Wei Zhao would hear him from the washroom. "Why's he taking so long just to drain the tank? Don't tell me he's taking a dump? I want to go myself—I drank too much just now!"
"Now that you mention it, so do I..." An Liwen frowned too, thinking to himself, why is Wei Zhao so damn slow?
In truth, Wei Zhao had pulled up his pants long ago. He had been in the washroom eavesdropping on what An Liwen and Su Taiwei were saying, and a cold smirk flickered across his face. So these two really hadn't given up—they still wanted to play tricks!
An inflatable doll? An Liwen really was a nasty piece of work!
Wei Zhao pushed open the washroom door, pretending to know nothing, and waved apologetically at An Liwen and Su Taizao. "Sorry, sorry! I drank too much, so there's plenty of water in my belly and it took a while. You two must have been waiting long?"
"No problem—we're going to the washroom ourselves!" An Liwen and Su Taizao were bursting and rushed to their feet into the washroom.
Wei Zhao gave a cold laugh. If the two of them hadn't been so desperate for a piss, he would have made them desperate himself by lingering in the washroom—at worst he'd have dawdled a while longer.
Wei Zhao glanced at the three glasses of red wine on the table, then smiled. Quick as anything, he poured one of the two glasses in front of An Liwen and Su Taizao into the corner by the wall, and brought the other over to set before himself.
That done, Wei Zhao took the glass An Liwen had tampered with and poured half of it into the now-empty glass, then topped up both half-filled, compromised glasses to the brim before sitting back down in his seat.
After a while, An Liwen and Su Taizao came out of the washroom and saw Wei Zhao fiddling with his phone. They assumed he was about to record again, but then they heard him say, "Let's have a little more to drink, then we'd better eat. Miss Gu called just now and told me to get back as soon as I can!"
