Lu Si took Mei Shu to the Yitai Club, a place frequently visited by various influential figures in Lin City.
Having a meal here cost quite a bit, but Mei Shu had plenty of money now, so she didn't mind.
During their interaction, she easily discovered that Lu Si was indeed someone worth getting to know, so spending money to treat him to a meal wasn't something she needed to worry about.
As they sat in the private room upstairs, they unexpectedly heard an argument from the next room.
Intermittently, there was a familiar female voice.
"Young Master Lin, please don't. I can't drink." The woman was pleading with the man beside her, hoping he would relent and spare her.
However, the man showed no sign of pity. He firmly held her chin and forced her mouth open, pouring a full glass of alcohol directly down her throat.
The alcohol flowed down her chin, wetting the thin layer of fabric on her chest.
