Xu Wendong said nothing, and the two of them ate and drank.
Meanwhile, Xu Wendong received a text from Su Li, saying she would be having a gathering with her girlfriends tonight and would likely chat late into the night, so she wouldn't be joining him.
While Xu Wendong and Zheng Xiaomin drank and chatted, two burly, shirtless middle-aged men covered in dragon and tiger tattoos approached from a distance.
Each held a bottle of beer, their steps unsteady, looking as if they had drunk quite a bit.
