TLCBITAR Chapter 196

Chapter 196: Drinking and Picking Up Girls

Why come to a bar?

This question made Zhou Zhou pause for a moment, then he answered truthfully, “To drink and pick up girls.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, the hand gripping his wrist suddenly tightened. He hissed softly, frowning and struggling.

[Damn it, what’s wrong with him? It hurts, it hurts! Let go!]

Pei Yanlie’s eyes were deep and dark as he repeated in a low voice, “Drink and pick up girls.”

Just hearing these words, an unknown fire surged in his heart, burning him uncomfortably all over. His head throbbed, and he suppressed his violent emotions, releasing his hand. He gave Zhou Zhou a deep look, his Adam’s apple bobbing heavily, and said slowly, “You can go back first.”

Zhou Zhou rubbed his reddened wrist, gritting his teeth and not daring to retort. He lifted his foot and walked towards the bar door, outwardly calm, but inwardly cursing the man a thousand times.

[Inexplicable. Did I offend you?]

[Just ask, which man comes to a bar not to drink and pick up girls?!]

[Damn it, my bones are about to break. If you weren’t an Upper General, I would have punched you!]

…

Pei Yanlie narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind filled with a cacophony of angry curses. His gaze turned cold and sharp as he pierced Zhou Zhou’s back. His fingers twitched, wanting to stuff something into his mouth to stop him from saying these words.

Zhou Zhou reached the bar door and paused.

[Wait, the inspection shouldn’t take long. Why should I leave?]

[It hasn’t even started yet! Why leave!]

He turned around, his eyes meeting Pei Yanlie’s inscrutable gaze. His pupils contracted slightly, and he pursed his lips.

[Tsk, why is he staring at me?!]

He swallowed, averted his gaze, and slowly walked to Hu Wenxu’s side, not looking at that man again.

[You tell me to leave, so I leave? Why should I listen to you?]

Pei Yanlie pressed his lips together tightly, feeling his head throb even more painfully.

Being able to hear this boy’s thoughts was already inconceivable, and now this person was so rebellious and disobedient. He turned his head to look at the silver handcuffs hanging on his subordinate’s waist, and the thought of handcuffing this person and locking him in a dark room arose in his mind.

As soon as the thought arose, he frowned almost imperceptibly. Such a perverted idea actually came from his brain. Was it because he had been lying in bed for too long?

He discarded the thoughts in his mind and swept his gaze over the others. The intense coldness emanating from his body made the people around him unconsciously take a step back.

After half an hour of inspection, no Star Robbers or other suspicious people were found in the Translucent Bar.

Pei Yanlie led his subordinates away, giving Zhou Zhou another deep look as he passed by.

[Thank you for your hard work, Upper General. Goodbye and don’t let the door hit you on the way out.]

Zhou Zhou raised his head slightly to look at him, a frivolous smile on his lips.

Pei Yanlie had just taken two steps when he heard this person’s thoughts. He stopped again, and after a few seconds of silence, he ordered his subordinates, “The Star Robbers are vicious. For the safety of the public, the bar will be temporarily closed until they are caught, and all irrelevant personnel on Bar Street will be dispersed.”

After saying this, he strode away, leaving everyone with a cold and ruthless back view.

[Hey, hey, it’s rare to come out and have fun. Don’t be such a spoilsport!]

Zhou Zhou glared at the tall figure, muttering in his mind.

Hu Wenxu coughed lightly, smiling meaningfully. “It seems tonight’s hunting operation has been forced to stop.”

Zhou Zhou glanced at him. “Are you happy?”

Hu Wenxu raised an eyebrow. “Let’s go. I’ll take you back.”

Soon, the personnel of the Federal Army began to drive people away, each keeping their mouths shut and not daring to say anything. After all, even the Upper General had personally come to catch people, so it was clear how dangerous these Star Robbers were.

Drinking and picking up girls could wait, one’s life was the most important thing.

Liu Kuo, with his new girlfriend in his arms, greeted Zhou Zhou and the others and left the bar.

Little Li came over and suggested, “Why don’t we go to Little Hu’s house and continue the fun?”

Hu Wenxu twitched his mouth and refused directly. “That’s my uncle’s house, not my house.”

Little Li thought of Hu Wenxu’s military uncle and shivered all over. He shook his head, curled his lips, and turned his gaze to the bar girl beside him. “Beauty, come home with me?”

The bar girl’s smile stiffened for a moment. “Sorry, I don’t accept door-to-door service.”

Little Li’s face fell, and he sighed, waving his hand to let her leave. “Do as you please. I’m going home to sleep.”

One by one, the fair-weather friends left, and Zhou Zhou and Hu Wenxu also followed out of the bar.

Unfortunately, Upper General Pei was standing at the door of the bar across the street at this time, looking at him with a deep gaze.

Zhou Zhou felt uncomfortable under his gaze and leaned close to Hu Wenxu’s ear. “Have you noticed that the Upper General keeps staring at me?”

Hu Wenxu raised his eyes and quickly scanned Upper General Pei, answering in a low voice, “You’re seeing things. He’s clearly looking at me.”

Zhou Zhou glanced sideways, following his gaze to the hand on his shoulder.

“He’s staring at your hand,” Zhou Zhou said in a low voice.

Hu Wenxu’s hand on Zhou Zhou’s shoulder trembled, and he quickly put it down behind his back. “Oh, my, a bit scary. No wonder I keep feeling a chill on my arm.”

“Don’t provoke him. Let’s get out of here, or we’ll be in trouble if we’re detained as suspects,” Hu Wenxu said, grabbing Zhou Zhou’s arm and hurrying towards the parking lot.

However, the next second, the gaze fixed on him grew even colder, and Hu Wenxu held his breath, his face gradually turning ugly.

His back felt as if it was being scraped by ice knives. He cursed inwardly and dragged Zhou Zhou away as if fleeing.

He didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until he reached the parking lot, his heart beating wildly. He was purely scared by the Upper General.

“As expected of the Upper General, that aura is unmatched. But why is he staring at me like I’m his enemy!” Hu Wenxu released his hand and slammed the hover motorcycle.

Zhou Zhou nodded in agreement.

The two leaned against the motorcycle, lost in thought.

They couldn’t think of what they had done to offend the Upper General, even after racking their brains.

“Don’t think too much. Anyway, the chance to see the Upper General is rare,” Zhou Zhou patted Hu Wenxu’s shoulder.

“Don’t forget, you have to go to the Federal Army to work in two days,” Hu Wenxu frowned slightly, reminding him.

“Data analysis assistant, I should be sitting in the office, right? A big shot like the Upper General has a million things to do every day, and he’s gone for half a month at a time when he goes out. The chance to meet is naturally very small,” Zhou Zhou said indifferently.

“Hopefully. Good luck to you,” Hu Wenxu’s mood improved a little, and he straddled the motorcycle. “Get on, I’ll take you back first.”

“Let’s take a ride in the wind. It’s still early,” Zhou Zhou said, sitting behind him, with one hand on his shoulder.

Hu Wenxu “hmm”ed and started the motorcycle, leaving the parking lot in less than half a minute.

The night wind howled, tousling their hair, and the motorcycle weaved through the brightly lit streets, quickly leaving the noisy, bustling avenue.

“Didi di”

The optical brain on Zhou Zhou’s left hand suddenly emitted a notification tone.

He casually opened it, and his eyes widened as he saw the message sent by the Federal Army’s internal management personnel. The five fingers supporting Hu Wenxu’s shoulder suddenly tightened, and a “fuck!” escaped his mouth.
