Chapter 193: Xu Damao Falls into the Trap
When Zhang Lei brought Qin Huairu back to the He family home, the drinking party inside was in full swing.
When He Daqing saw Zhang Lei enter, followed by Qin Huairu, he paused for a moment, then smiled and greeted him, "Zhang Lei, what brings you back with someone after your trip out?"
Zhang Lei smiled and said to He Daqing, "Uncle He, this is Qin Huairu."
When He Daqing saw Qin Huairu, his eyes lit up immediately, and he was a little stunned. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This woman is really beautiful.
Seeing He Daqing's expression, Zhang Lei chuckled inwardly, but said aloud, "Uncle He, Qin Huairu and her child haven't eaten yet. Do you have any extra food here? Could she take some back for her child?"
He Daqing then came to his senses and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, of course I have! I'll go get it for her right away!"
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the kitchen, his steps quicker than usual.
Zhang Lei glanced at Qin Huairu and said with a smile, "This is He Daqing, Sha Zhu's father. What do you think? Doesn't he look much better than Sha Zhu?"
Qin Huairu nodded and said softly, "He's definitely much better than Sha Zhu."
Hearing Qin Huairu say this, Zhang Lei nodded in satisfaction, thinking to himself: Let the two of them get an impression first, so that the rest of the show will be easier to perform.
At this moment, He Daqing came over with a lot of packed food.
Zhang Lei gave Qin Huairu a wink, signaling her to quickly take it.
He Daqing handed the items to Qin Huairu, and during the exchange, his hand "accidentally" touched Qin Huairu's hand.
He Daqing felt a sudden softness in his palm, and his heart fluttered with desire, making him feel lightheaded.
Seeing the two of them like this, Zhang Lei coughed and reminded them, "Uncle He, let's continue drinking."
After saying that, he looked at Qin Huairu again and said, "You should go back first."
Qin Huairu took the things, lowered her head, and walked away with a blush on her face.
He Daqing watched Qin Huairu's retreating figure until she disappeared from sight, then turned around, put his arm around Zhang Lei's shoulder, and chuckled, "Zhang Lei, you're so good to your uncle!"
Zhang Lei patted He Daqing's arm and said, "Uncle He, let's take care of the important business tonight first. Don't get drunk."
Hearing Zhang Lei's words, He Daqing laughed nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry! This little bit of wine is like water to me!"
At this moment, Zhang Lei saw that Xu Damao had drunk quite a bit and his eyes were already a little glazed over, so he deliberately provoked him and said, "Xu Damao, what kind of heroic things have you done out there? Tell us! You go to the countryside every day, you must have seen a lot. Let us broaden our horizons."
Upon hearing Zhang Lei's words, Xu Damao immediately became interested, squinting his eyes as he said, "Want to broaden my horizons?"
Zhang Lei nodded: "Yes."
Immediately, Xu Damao revealed a lewd smile and said, "Alright, I'll teach you a lesson."
Seeing Xu Damao's demeanor, everyone perked up and listened intently.
Xu Damao then began to recount with great enthusiasm how he seduced young widows and wives when he went to the countryside, speaking vividly and spitting as he spoke.
Everyone took it as a joke and laughed heartily, creating a very lively atmosphere.
Seeing how interested everyone was, Xu Damao became even more enthusiastic, his tail practically wagging in the air.
At this moment, Zhang Lei secretly gave He Daqing a wink.
He Daqing understood immediately and continued to clink glasses with Xu Damao, casually saying as he drank, "Damao, about what happened with Zhuzi (Silly Zhu), I don't know who did that despicable thing, but I know you're an honest kid, you definitely wouldn't have the guts."
Xu Damao was already quite drunk. When he heard He Daqing say that he didn't have the guts, he immediately became furious, slammed his hand on the table, and shouted, "I don't have the guts? Bullshit! I was the one who ordered Sha Zhu to do it! I paid someone to do it! Who says I don't have the guts!"
The moment these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the table froze instantly. Everyone was stunned and stared at Xu Damao in disbelief.
Zhang Lei was secretly delighted, but on the surface he pretended not to believe it and continued to fan the flames, saying, "Alright, alright, Xu Damao, you're drunk, you're just talking nonsense, stop talking nonsense."
Xu Damao refused to back down. The alcohol had clouded his judgment, and he stubbornly continued to argue.
Xu Damao slammed his fist on the table, making the bowls and chopsticks clatter, and roared, his face red and neck bulging, "I spent a full two hundred yuan! Two hundred yuan, you know? I hired four people! Do you know who they are? They're the henchmen of Boss Hei from Dongcheng! They're going to kick Sha Zhu's thing to pieces, so he can never have children again!"
The room fell into a deathly silence the moment those words were spoken.
Although Zhang Lei and the others were all drunk, upon hearing the words "two hundred yuan," "Blackie's men," and "kick to pieces," they couldn't help but shudder and sober up considerably.
Someone tried to persuade Xu Damao to stop talking, but was about to speak when He Daqing glared at him, forcing him to swallow his words.
Everyone then realized that this dinner was not a simple welcome dinner at all, but a pre-arranged scheme.
At this moment, He Daqing took a deep breath, his eyes turning cold. He looked at He Yushui and said in a deep voice, "Yushui, go!"
He Yushui nodded, got up and walked out.
Seeing Yu Shui go out alone, Zhang Lei immediately got up and said to He Daqing, "Uncle He, I'll go too! It's not safe for her to be alone at night."
He Daqing nodded: "Okay, let's go together."
So, Zhang Lei led He Yushui, and the two of them quickly walked towards the police station.
After they left, He Daqing turned to look at the people at the table, his face regaining its composure, and said calmly, "Keep eating and drinking."
The tone wasn't harsh, but it carried a sense of oppression that left people speechless.
Even Jia Zhangshi, who had just been throwing a tantrum, was now too scared to breathe and obediently huddled in a corner, carefully eating and drinking.
Already quite drunk, Xu Damao was completely oblivious to the change in atmosphere, still grinning foolishly and shouting, "Drink! Eat! Everyone, eat and drink well!"
Yan Fugui, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but speak up: "Old He, what you're doing..."
He Daqing looked at him sharply: "Old Yan, this meal is exactly why I invited you here. You've heard everything you should and shouldn't have heard. When the police come later, don't try to cover it up for me."
Everyone then realized that this dinner party was not a simple gathering at all, but a trap set by He Daqing to have them act as witnesses.
