Chapter 2511: Chapter 2413: Don’t Flinch, Just Do It
After Jian Feng and Jiang Wei returned, Huo Sining wasn’t sure what they did respectively. In fact, she didn’t even know that besides Lei De and Ye Yuhai, two big fish had slipped through the net in this conflict.
However, as for Huo Sining, she wasn’t deeply concerned whether to pursue the issues of Jian Feng and Jiang Wei.
That’s Du Wenfeng and Tan Minghui’s business, but she is certain that what happened today at Yingfeng Shanyuan would soon spread out and have a reverberating effect throughout Luohua County.
Coupled with Du Wenfeng’s upcoming series of actions in Luohua County, the atmosphere there would undoubtedly improve significantly within the next few years.
Of course, the forest problem in Xiakan Village, the issue of the village head colluding with outsiders to oppress the villagers, and the ancestors’ graves being dug up, even for Huo Sining’s sake, Du Wenfeng is bound to devise the optimal solution to resolve these issues.
But right now, Huo Sining’s focus is no longer on these matters; at this moment, she and Yu Fei are in a small tavern in town with a group and have reserved the entire place, cooking up a variety of local specialties and buying several crates of strong liquor, indulging in food and drinks.
The group of special forces soldiers was initially worried that Huo Sining, being a big star, would act lofty and insist on going to some fancy hotel in the city, which would be a disappointment.
But unexpectedly, they were all wrong; none of them thought that Huo Sining would suggest coming to a non-descript tavern.
Because it’s winter, although winters in Yun Province aren’t very cold, beer is somewhat unsuitable for this season. Thus, Huo Sining ordered fifty-two degree baijiu, from the Yanghe series, the best liquor available at the small tavern.
Fortunately, these old soldiers weren’t picky; having alcohol to drink was enough, and they weren’t fussy about how upscale the liquor was.
Compared to the lukewarm nature of beer, they preferred the intense nature of baijiu. To them, after training in the army for months without alcohol, only such strong liquor can satisfy their cravings.
So, seeing Huo Sining order several crates of baijiu upon entering, the seasoned soldiers were indescribably pleased.
After ordering the dishes, Huo Sining didn’t stand on ceremony and promptly placed the baijiu on the table, opened it, and pushed it towards everyone.
Without missing a beat, she herself picked up a bottle, poured a full glass, and drank it all without hesitation, her bold demeanor left these seasoned soldiers dumbfounded.
It wasn’t until Huo Sining had drunk three glasses in a row did the group of old soldiers snap out of it.
Now the eyes of the picky special forces soldiers lit up, as they no longer looked at Huo Sining like an outsider, but with admiration.
"Bravo!"
Yu Fei led with applause, and the others followed with cheering, whistling, and drumming on the table.
Huo Sining smiled and without being pretentious, said:
"Gu Xu isn’t here, but I can represent him. We should’ve met you all long ago, but things have been too hectic, and I haven’t found the opportunity to come to Yun Province."
"Although it’s our first meeting, to me, you’re pretty much half-family already."
"Since we’re gathered today, let’s drink heartily! This time I’ll treat, you drink to your heart’s content, don’t worry about saving me money!"
Upon hearing they could drink as much as they liked, with a loud laugh, the White-Haired Goose gave Huo Sining a thumbs-up:
"Sister-in-law is so cool, truly someone our captain admires, who understands us! Haha!"
On the side, Yu Fei had some concern, not about Huo Sining’s money, but about how she was mingling and drinking with these seasoned soldiers—wasn’t she asking for trouble?
"Sister-in-law, are you sure? They are all drinkers. If you can’t handle it, don’t force yourself. Otherwise, if you get drunk and the captain blames us, we couldn’t bear his anger!"
Upon hearing these words, a seemingly playful smile crept onto Huo Sining’s face, and Wu Jun beside her couldn’t help but touch his nose.
What a joke, Yu Fei wasn’t aware, but Wu Jun had been with Huo Sining for several years; how could he not know?
Don’t be fooled by her slender frame, when it comes to drinking, even their captain is no match for her. If they dare look down on her, they’ll surely question their existence when she goes wild!
Wu Jun silently mourned for them, in his heart urging them to experience what it means to drink unfalteringly, lest they think they are invincible!
As expected, Yu Fei’s words incited Huo Sining, losing the last trace of her ladylike demeanor. She lifted her head with a hint of provocation and suggested to Yu Fei:
"Brother Yu, shall we have a contest and see who’s stronger?"
Yu Fei was taken aback; among them, he was indeed the first to know Huo Sining aside from Wu Jun and had a good relationship with her, yet hadn’t seen her drink before and didn’t know her tolerance.
But seeing Huo Sining’s demeanor suggested she might be good with alcohol?
With some apprehension, Yu Fei’s eyes on Huo Sining began showing uncertainty, hesitant to accept the challenge.
The White-Haired Goose and Heihu saw Yu Fei hesitating and immediately mocked him, unable to tolerate his reluctance:
"You don’t dare drink with sister-in-law and call yourself Falcon, you disgrace Falcon, facing the captain later, will you have no face to see him again?"
"Indeed, just afraid already, are you still a man?"
"Xiao Fei, don’t be cowardly, just go for it!"
With a smile, Huo Sining looked at Yu Fei. His face flushed red from the mocking of his teammates.
Thinking over, he felt they were right. As a Falcon, how could he not outperform a woman? Even if she had an extraordinary drinking capacity, could she defy the heavens?
Encouraged by his teammates, Yu Fei felt backing down would be laughable, steeling himself, he nodded and agreed:
"Alright, let’s drink!"
Wu Jun anticipated the outcome upon hearing Yu Fei’s words, sympathetically sighing for him.
Brother, you’ve been rather duped by your teammates.
Yu Fei, challenging Huo Sining to a drinking contest, which she amiably accepted, and they began their drinking duel, one glass at a time.
Initially, Yu Fei thought using such small glasses wasn’t satisfying; drinking a bit wouldn’t be problematic, it didn’t have much effect.
