A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. Government officials should be patrolling the streets. I just hope they can notice this restaurant.

"You can drink if you want. Let my maid go first, and I'll drink with you."

"Miss, please don't drink." Yuzhu grabbed Lin Li's hand, "I will drink with them, Miss, you can't drink."

Lin Li patted Yuzhu's hand and comforted her, "It's okay, go take care of Zhen'er and don't worry about me."

"Great! Waiter, bring some wine." The big man sat down next to Lin Li and took the opportunity to put his arm around Lin Li's shoulders.

The big man asked the boy to take the dishes away, then poured the wine into bowls and filled the entire table. Lin Li's breathing quickened and her heart ached with nervousness. It must be because she had been away from Xie Yu for too long and her vitality had decreased. It would be great if they could communicate with each other telepathically.

Grabbing the clothes on her chest, Lin Li endured the pain and said, "Brother, there is so much wine. How can a weak woman like me finish it? Can you be gentle with me?"

"Of course I can be gentle with you if you want me to. Finish your wine, and I'll take you away and treat you well," the big man picked up the bowl and handed it to Lin Li, "Drink it."

Lin Li took the wine bowl. This was her first time drinking strong liquor. She took a deep breath and gulped down the wine all with a frown. After finishing the wine, she kept coughing.

"Girl, you have a good alcohol tolerance, keep drinking." The big man handed Lin Li another bowl of wine.

The thugs stood in a circle around the table. They were so numerous and powerful that Lin Li couldn't run away even if she wanted to. She could only grit her teeth and continue drinking.

After drinking three bowls of wine in a row, Lin Li's stomach was full of wine. She felt dizzy and couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly. Seeing that Lin Li was drunk, the big man directly held the wine and forced Lin Li to drink by holding her chin.

"What are you doing?" the man shouted.

Hearing the voice, the big man did not stop his actions. His younger brothers went to block the burly stranger first.

After they left, Yuzhu crawled to Linli's side, tears and snot streaming down her cheeks, "Miss, Miss, wake up."

The man casually used his fists and feet to knock down a group of thugs to the ground. Seeing this, the big man wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but he was caught by the man and stepped on his back.

"Are you still running?"

The big man pressed his belly against the floor, clasped his hands together, and said, "Please spare my life, please spare my life. I was wrong, I know I was wrong."

Soon, a large group of government officials came and took away all the ruffians. The people around them applauded.

These people have been entrenched in this area for a long time, burning, killing, smashing and looting, doing whatever they want. No one dares to report to the authorities for fear of retaliation.

Now, finally a hero comes forward to punish the bad guys.

"How is your lady?" The strange man squatted in front of Lin Li and finally saw her face clearly. "Miss Lin?"

"Our young lady is drunk. Kind man, do you know our young lady?" Yuzhu wiped her tears.

The man helped Lin Li up and let her lean on his arm. "Yes, I am from General Wang's Mansion. Your lady may know me."

The boss kindly brought a bowl of sobering soup. There was also a doctor among the guests who came to see the unconscious Zhen'er. Yuzhu fed the sobering soup to Lin Li.

The doctor said that Zhen'er's injury was not serious and she would recover after taking some medicine and resting in bed for a while.

~~

Lin Li opened her eyes, but she didn't have the strength to lift her hands. She felt like she was drowning, unable to breathe. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. She didn't know how long she had been unconscious.

[Warning, warning, insufficient vitality energy, insufficient energy]

Yuzhu was guarding the bed, but she was already asleep. Lin Li touched Yuzhu's hand hard, but the force was too small to have any real effect.

If she didn't see Xie Yu again, Lin Li felt that she would not be able to hold on any longer, as if she saw the white light of life. Just because of an inexplicable big man, she ruined her life. It was not worth it to think about it. That big man should be cut into pieces.

Suddenly she felt very sleepy, but Lin Li didn't dare close her eyes, for fear that if she fell asleep she would never wake up again, or that she would return to the days when she was tortured by the tyrant. She had to use all her strength to smash the tea bowl on the bedside table to the ground, waking up Yuzhu.

"Miss, you finally woke up. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Yuzhu stood up in panic and lay down next to Lin Li.

"How long have I slept?"

Lin Li's voice was very low, and Yuzhu had to move closer to hear clearly, "Miss, you have been unconscious for a whole day and night."

One day and one night were enough to consume his health points. He took Yuzhu's hand and drew the word "thank you" on her palm. This was the first time that Xie Yu came to see him. He didn't know if he would come. Although he knew he might not come, Lin Li still held a glimmer of hope.

Yuzhu wiped away her tears and ran out of the door. Now Zhen'er was still in a coma and she was the only one left to take care of the young lady. Yuzhu could guess who the word "thank you" referred to, and today's gift was also chosen for him.

She ran to the gate of Xie Yu's yard, but found it closed. Yuzhu knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.

"What are you doing here?" Qingqing came to Yuzhu quickly, took her hand, and said anxiously, "What did your lady ask you to do?"

Qingqing and Xie Yu had just returned from the young lady's place. Yesterday, Xie Yu went to the Meng Mansion to get some of the young lady's things and placed them in his yard. Qingqing came to get them.

"Brother Xie, our young lady asked me to come and see you, can you please go and see him?" Qingqing held Yuzhu's hand, preventing her from leaving.

Everyone in the mansion knew that Lin Li got drunk outside and was sent back by someone from General Wang's mansion. But no one knew who Miss Lin had drunk with, but it was most likely with that burly man.

In private, it was said that Miss Lin did not look like a lady from a noble family at all. She drank so much alcohol with men without knowing what was going on. Maybe she was not even innocent anymore.

"No, Brother Xie doesn't have time. Besides, Brother Xie is from our Meng Mansion. You people from the Lin Mansion have no right to order Brother Xie around." Qingqing held Yuzhu's hand tightly, as if afraid that she would escape.

"I know, I know, Sister Qingqing, Brother Xie," Yuzhu's face was full of tears, "Please, let Brother Xie go to see our young lady."

Yuzhu almost knelt down, but the two remained unmoved. Xie Yu pushed open the gate and said, "Go back and tell your young lady that I have something to tell you and I really can't leave. I'm sorry."

"I heard you, Brother Xie doesn't have time."

Xie Yu had already returned to the house. Qingqing blocked Yuzhu's way and raised her chin proudly, "Your young lady's reputation is rotten outside, so don't bother Brother Xie anymore. Goodbye."
