If it was the last bull market, you clearly mentioned 2015—that doesn’t add up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hate it when people question me.” At this point, Yu Dazhang gave up thinking entirely and replied bluntly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Believe it or not.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Tuotuo saw his state and knew he was drunk—he was now acting like a fool. “Is that all your alcohol tolerance?” she asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight of this fat man right now was just too amusing—clumsy, yet with a touch of sleaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze had turned fixed and staring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alcohol tolerance? Ha, don’t ask me about that—point to the ocean.” Yu Dazhang puffed out his belly, trying to prove how much he could drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, alright.” Qu Tuotuo didn’t argue; instead, she smiled and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you’re not drunk, let me ask you something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go ahead.” Yu Dazhang slapped his chest, radiating bravado.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Chinese driver’s license is almost ready,” Qu Tuotuo asked seriously: “I want to give my instructor a banner—what should I write on it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Yu Dazhang replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guofu Sun Ce.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?

Fine, you’ll get it in a few years.” Yu Dazhang, unwilling to explain, confidently declared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just write it exactly as I said—I guarantee that in ten years, this banner will still be the most dazzling one in the entire driving school.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?” Qu Tuotuo was skeptical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Relax.” Yu Dazhang patted his chest in assurance:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Trust me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Tuotuo knew he was drunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, she should have urged him not to drink and helped him get home while he was still somewhat coherent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for some reason, she just wanted to stay with him a little longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yu Dazhang take another sip of zha beer, Qu Tuotuo paused, then asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do robbery and kidnapping always involve men? Why is it so rare to see men and women doing them together?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was pure small talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked because the kidnapping she’d experienced had left a deep impression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she enjoyed how seriously Yu Dazhang answered her questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Robbery and kidnapping are violent crimes—how could you possibly bring a woman along? There’s a saying you’ve probably heard…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang’s eyes were reduced to slits; as he spoke, he burped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him pause, Qu Tuotuo asked curiously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What saying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Robbery with a bitch? You’re lucky if you don’t get life.” Yu Dazhang answered with perfect smoothness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shit, this place is no longer safe… Qu Tuotuo noticed everyone around them casting strange glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She awkwardly tugged at her lips, called the owner over to settle the bill, then pulled Yu Dazhang quickly out of the barbecue joint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yue~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, the wind hit him—he staggered to a roadside tree and vomited violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dammit, you absolutely cannot pass out now… Qu Tuotuo stood beside him, patting his back while praying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xuehe had prepared breakfast and hesitated whether to wake Yu Dazhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, her son had come home utterly drunk, carried by a girl so beautiful she looked unreal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl’s appearance and demeanor were clearly from a wealthy family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She must be the “not quite a friend” her son had mentioned before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl had been polite, even helping carry her son to bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it hadn’t been so late, Li Xuehe would have liked to chat with her properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was thinking this, sounds came from her son’s room—he’d woken up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after a minute passed, he still didn’t come out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to go check on him, a sharp “slap” rang out from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xuehe froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That sound… it sounded exactly like a slap across the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, “Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!” came five more consecutive cracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Yu Dazhang’s anguished voice rang out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve said everything I should and shouldn’t have! Aaaahhhhhhh!
