The elder instructor's eyes crinkled into a smile as he accepted the bright red hundred-yuan bill and, holding on to Lin Hai's hand, he lavished praise without stinginess: "This is a good girl, really a good girl!"

"Gentle and virtuous, sensible and filial, Lin Lengzi, even I envy your good fortune."

Upon hearing the instructor's words, Queen Qi felt as if her impression in his mind had been sealed, with a smile as radiant as flowers, her pretty little mouth brimming with tempting color.

Lin Hai chuckled happily, since the instructor was happy, he was happy too.

He gave Queen Qi a grateful glance, and Queen Qi quickly lowered her head shyly, playing with her little finger and fiddling with a small edge of her clothing, looking every bit the picture of an innocent and beautiful girl, just with a noticeably perkier figure than typically attributed to such a girl.

"I'm going to continue with the barbeque then, you guys can keep on drinking."

Queen Qi said with a shy tone.

Long Wuhui, already three bottles of Erguotou down, was in high spirits. He poured a cup of Erguotou and pushed it in front of Queen Qi, saying with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I'm still young, come on, let's drink."

Queen Qi glanced at Lin Hai, finding him looking at her with a smile.

Since her future "half-father-in-law" wanted to drink, she had to give Beast Lin some face.

With these thoughts, she immediately picked up the cup and clinking it boldly with the instructor: "Instructor, cheers to you."

Having said that, Queen Qi tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp, truly downing it.

"Great! Sociable in the parlor, skilled in the kitchen, sister-in-law, Lin Lengzi is sure to marry you. I've decided this matter!"

The instructor spoke with even more gusto.

Queen Qi's eyes sparkled with stars, this news was simply explosive.

Lin Hai was speechless to the extreme; the instructor just loved to talk nonsense when drunk, a habit that hasn't changed in so many years.

Seeing Queen Qi's gaze at him instantly promote from "girlfriend" to "wife," Lin Hai felt a continuous cold sweat down his back, as her gaze was too intense.

A beautiful woman selling lamb skewers indeed attracted more people than an old limp man selling them.

The stall that had been quiet just a moment ago was gradually getting crowded.

Queen Qi and Ruoshuang were busy and joyful.

Ouyang Ruoshuang had her own little schemes in her heart.

Especially just now, she felt a strong sense of crisis for her cousin.

So the mischievous girl was also putting in extra effort, occasionally choosing some satisfactory lamb skewers to present before Long Wuhui.

Women's sixth sense is extremely sharp, and Queen Qi intuitively felt that Ruoshuang was "up to something," so she worked even harder.

Lin Hai and the elder instructor reminisced about their past experiences with long sighs.

"Little Scorpion seems to have not died," the instructor sighed, muttering under the influence of alcohol.

Lin Hai was struck as if by lightning!

Little Scorpion, not dead?!

Is this true?

He quickly grabbed Long Wuhui's hand with urgency, asking at a rapid pace: "Instructor, are you telling the truth?"

"Not dead, I saw her in my dream last night. She was asking how you were doing, and I told her, you're doing really well, there's no need for her to worry about you."

His vision blurred.

Tears welled up in Lin Hai's eyes, swirling nonstop, and his nose was sour. He knew, the instructor was talking in his drunken stupor.

But why does my heart ache so badly, even more painful than being hit by a bullet.

That final inferno of the past took her away, forever gone, gone!!!

Regretting that I do not own the landscape's fate, lamenting that heroes are powerless to turn back time, powerless to turn back time!

He wished he had never picked up the brush to paint the landscape, he just hoped that the events of the past had never happened.

Bones piled high on this journey through sand and dust, my brush pens down this hoarse paper, the promise so close yet worlds apart—how much blood must be spilled to paint it...

"She also said, knowing you are well makes her happy, and she hopes you won't delve into the secrets of the past or seek revenge for her."

Long Wuhui was clearly drunk.

Drinking is a matter of mood, after all.

Perhaps it was because of Lin Hai's visit today that his mood was good, but it inevitably brought back memories of what happened in the past.

"Instructor, tell me, aside from the RX organization, who else was secretly plotting back then? I suspect the Yu Family, but there's no solid evidence!"

Long Wuhui stubbornly shook his head: "I'm also unclear about the events of that year, just some speculation."

"Tell me the clues quickly," Lin Hai asked anxiously.

Even if Judge had investigated, there were still mysteries he needed to unravel himself.

Long Wuhui shook his head again, "I've forgotten about the events of that year, I just want you to stay alive, your survival is the greatest reward for us who have died."

Tears from Lin Hai finally broke free, pitter-pattering on the table.

Men don't shed tears easily, only in heartache, back then, so many brothers died, so many brothers died for his sake, so full of hatred, so much hatred!

"Eh? Beast Lin, what's wrong with you?" Queen Qi, looking through the flames of the barbecue grill, saw Lin Hai seemingly crying, why did he suddenly start crying?

With curious eyes fixed on her beloved Lin Hai, she asked out of concern.

Lin Hai rubbed his eyes, swiftly wiping away the tears—a man crying in front of a woman is quite embarrassing, how could he cry? His heart should be harder than stone.

Forcing a smile, he waved nonchalantly: "The spices on the lamb skewer were too strong, made my eyes water."

"Ah, sorry, Linlin, I'll pay attention and use less seasoning next time, are your eyes okay?"

Queen Qi's voice urgent and caring.

Lin Hai shook his head and smiled faintly: "It's fine."

"I'm getting better and better at grilling, let me grill some more for you," Queen Qi said with a happy laugh.

Just then, suddenly, Ruoshuang stumbled and fell to the ground, knocking over an empty table beside her.

"Why, why did you trip me on purpose?" Ruoshuang, in pain with tears falling, pouted in accusation at the table opposite her.

Seated at that table were seven or eight scruffy-looking youths, their hair dyed yellow, with cheap "gold chains" around their necks costing a measly five yuan per meter and arms scarred with cigarette burns and tattoos, among other marks.

Seeing Ruoshuang's wronged appearance, they let out smug and annoying laughter.

The one Ruoshuang accused smiled wickedly: "Little sister, you can't slander others, who saw me trip you?"

"It was clearly you, you wanted to touch my butt and you played dirty," Ruoshuang said, getting more and more angry, a half noble young miss being mocked by a few street thugs, infuriating her to a furious tremble.

Long Wuhui frowned, these two girls were so kind and adorable, and most importantly, they were the future daughters-in-law of Lin Lengzi, his sworn brother's little sisters.

With a loud bang, Long Wuhui, fueled by alcohol, slammed the table and stood up, roaring, "Who dares to bully my little brother's sisters?"

"Oi, Old Limp Man, are you looking for death?"
