In the evening, the setting sun was fiery red, the evening glow covering the sky.
The dark purple in the skyline came from afar, flowing into the golden yellow twilight.
The edge of the sky gradually darkened, the purple evening glow slowly fading away.
The sun went down, the sky darkened.
It had been a few hours since Gu Chenan entered Bai Yutian's room.
In those few hours, sounds of "Ah ah ah" and "Woo woo" occasionally came from Bai Yutian's room.
Accompanied by the sound of squeaking beds.
These sounds lasted until night, only stopping in the later half of the night.
The next day at noon.
Gu Chenan pushed open the door, his face full of fatigue.
While Bai Yutian followed behind with a face full of radiance.
Gu Chenan was speechless when he saw Bai Yutian.
[Is this little sweetie the reincarnation of a juicer?]
[Damn, it was fine at first, but later I felt like I was the one being played!]
[Horrifying, too horrifying!]
"Mr. Gu, the car is ready, when do we leave?"
At this time, Ma Bing came to Gu Chenan's side and asked.
Gu Chenan looked at his watch: "Let's go, it's about time."
...
Soon, Ma Bing drove Gu Chenan straight to Hu Tang Yue Se.
The two went directly to Room 0301. Gu Chenan let Ma Bing wait on standby outside the private room, and pushed the door to enter himself.
Everyone in the private room were familiar faces. Except for Liang Bufan, those present were the ones who had beat up Lin Yu last time.
"Mr. Gu, you're here."
Everyone immediately stood up to greet him.
Liang Bufan also walked over quickly, forced out a smile and said, "Mr. Gu, long time no see."
Liang Bufan's plan was to secretly make Gu Chenan drink poisoned wine, so he couldn't make Gu Chenan suspicious beforehand.
"Oh?" Gu Chenan smiled, "It's you?"
Liang Bufan immediately nodded: "Mr. Gu still remembers me. We met at Elder Liu's house before."
"Hmm, I remember." Gu Chenan nodded.
Gu Chenan knew Liang Bufan's plan, so in order not to arouse his suspicions, he also had to behave normally.
"Mr. Gu, please take a seat. The dishes are all ready." Liang Bufan said.
Gu Chenan nodded and sat down in the main seat at the round table.
Liang Bufan had an insidious smile on his face thinking his plan had succeeded. He sat down next to Gu Chenan.
Then he raised the wine glass in his hand, "Mr. Gu, let's drink first."
"Mr. Gu!"
Just as Gu Chenan was about to pick up his wine glass, someone next to him immediately spoke out to stop him.
They knew Liang Bufan was going to poison Gu Chenan, but did not know how.
But just to be safe, they did not want Gu Chenan to drink the potentially poisoned wine at all.
However, Gu Chenan ignored them and clinked his wine glass with Liang Bufan before drinking it all in one go.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked.
No way.
Didn't Mr. Gu know that Liang Bufan was going to poison him? How could he be so careless?
Wasn't he afraid that this cup contained poison?
Everyone's minds were filled with questions, but they didn't dare speak out in case this was part of Gu Chenan's plan.
So they could only watch as Liang Bufan and Gu Chenan ate and drank without stopping.
Soon, the two had drunken most of the wine.
Liang Bufan picked up the wine bottle and shook it, "Oh, we're out of wine. Let me get another bottle."
As he spoke, Liang Bufan left the table to grab another bottle of wine and two wine splitters from the cabinet in the private room.
"Mr. Gu, let's not drink too much today. How about one wine splitter each, and we'll stop after we finish it?" said Liang Bufan.
"Okay." Gu Chenan nodded.
Liang Bufan's mouth curved slightly upwards. He filled the two wine splitters and placed one of them in front of Gu Chenan.
"Mr. Gu, please."
Gu Chenan smiled, poured himself a cup from the wine splitter, clinked glasses with Liang Bufan again before drinking it all down.
Seeing Gu Chenan drink the wine, Liang Bufan suddenly sat up straight.
"Mr. Gu, do you still remember how you treated me at Elder Liu's house back then?" Liang Bufan suddenly asked.
Gu Chenan didn't say anything, just nodding.
"Humph!"
Liang Bufan sneered and started to accuse him, "You insulted me with rude words at Elder Liu's house. I've kept it in my mind!"
"I didn't expect, I really didn't expect, that you would actually come to Suzhou!"
"And even accept my invitation!"
"Don't you think your martial arts skills are good enough to not fear anything, or do you really think I don't dare take revenge?!"
At this point, Liang Bufan became emotional. He kicked the stool away and stood up.
"Gu Chenan! I'll tell you, you've already drunk my sect's secret poison. If you don't want to die, get on your knees and apologize!"
"This is Suzhou. I, Liang Bufan, am not afraid of you here!"
"If you don't apologize, I will definitely make you die without a doubt!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
What?!
Mr. Gu had already drank the poison?
What was going on here?
Didn't Mr. Gu already know long ago that Liang Bufan was going to poison him? Why did he still drink the poison?
Could it be that he was too drunk and completely forgot about it?
No good! This can't go on!
The few looked at each other, about to get up, but saw Gu Chenan suddenly put out his hand to stop them.
Liang Bufan, on the other hand, did not notice the abnormality of the others at all. All his attention was now focused on Gu Chenan.
Seeing that Gu Chenan still hadn't said anything, he thought Gu Chenan was considering it, or afraid.
So he became even more unbridled. He slammed the table with his palm and stared at Gu Chenan, enunciating each word, "Kneel! Down! And! Apologize!"
At this moment, Gu Chenan smiled slightly and stood up.
Liang Bufan thought Gu Chenan was really going to kneel down and apologize to him. So he grinned, a contemptuous look surfacing on his face.
"Gu Chenan, you're nothing without the Gu family!"
Then he pointed at his feet, "Kneel before me and beg me to take out the antidote, or else you'll really die!"
Gu Chenan suddenly laughed, then lightly waved his hand. Liang Bufan thought Gu Chenan was going to say something, so he leaned forward.
But at that moment, Gu Chenan spat the poisoned wine right at Liang Bufan's cheek.
Liang Bufan was shocked. He quickly wiped the poisoned wine off his face, and said in disbelief, "You... didn't drink it?"
Gu Chenan picked up the teapot and rinsed his mouth with tea, then smiled and said, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
"How... how can this be?" Liang Bufan was a bit dumbfounded.
Looking at Gu Chenan's appearance, it seemed he had no suspicions at all. So how did he notice something wrong? This poison was colorless and odorless. Logically speaking, there's no way he could detect it!
However, it didn't matter if Gu Chenan didn't drink it. With so many people here today, if he doesn't drink it, then they'll force him to!
Thinking so, Liang Bufan showed a confident smile again.
He snorted contemptuously and said, "That's right, you are stupid!"
"If you weren't stupid, how could you come to the banquet alone, with just yourself?"
"No matter how good your martial arts, you can't escape!"
Then he looked around at everyone present, and said loudly, "Come on, make Mr. Gu drink the poisoned wine!"
After he finished speaking, he waited for a very long time, but no one showed any reaction.
Liang Bufan felt somewhat puzzled, "What... what are you all waiting for?"
Everyone looked at each other, and no one paid him any attention.
Seeing this scene, Liang Bufan's eyes widened, "You... you guys... have all been bought over by him?!"
Gu Chenan shook his head. "Bought over is an overstatement. They just think I'm a good person."
Hearing this, Liang Bufan was greatly shocked.
He hurriedly said to everyone, "Do... do you guys know how Gu Chenan humiliated our Suzhou martial arts circle? You..."
"Liang Bufan, don't distort the facts!"
At this time, someone slapped the table and stood up, angrily pointing at Liang Bufan and said: "This is the personal grievance between you and Mr. Gu, don't get the entire Suhang Ancient Martial Arts Circle involved!"
"Furthermore, I don't believe Mr. Gu would insult us!"
Hearing this, Liang Bufan panicked, panicked completely.
He immediately looked at Gu Chenan: "Mr. Gu, this...I..."
But he thought for a long time and yet couldn't think of anything to defend himself with, of course he couldn't defend what he did today either.
Gu Chenan smiled and said: "Weren't you quite arrogant just now? Kicking the stool and slapping the table?"
"What's the matter? Not arrogant anymore?"
As he spoke, Gu Chenan sneered: "Too late!"
