Chapter 267 I Will Keep Drinking (2/2)

”San Fran,” Rose immediately replied.

”San Fran?” Sophie was puzzled and asked, ”Why would the public order be bad there? It’s a wealthy city! The police force is well-developed, and the law and order should be well-kept, right?”

Rose said coldly, ”I’m from San Francisco. That d*mn place—it’s just a place of d*mnation!”

As she spoke, she cleared the glass of whiskey with ease, and poured herself another one.

Li Du felt that something was off, so he said, ”Hey, Rose, stop drinking. You’ve had enough.”

Rose waved and replied, ”I know, man. Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

Li Du didn’t hear any slurs when she spoke, and her eyes were still full of spirit. He felt that she was indeed still fine, so he didn’t say anything else.

Hans gave him a nudge and said softly, ”Hey you, don’t drink too much. You’ll be the one driving later—Rose will definitely be unable to.”

Li Du felt that Hans was exaggerating things, as she seemed to be fine.

San Francisco was an important city on the West Coast, with a number of Chinese people staying there; lots of technologyl companies were situated there as well; rich citizens were plentiful.

Hannah, Sophie, and Stephen were curious about big cities like this one. Knowing that Rose came from there, they fervently asked questions about the life there.

Rose replied to each of their questions, describing all that she knew of and had seen in San Francisco.

However, it seemed that she did not have a good impression of San Francisco. Her answers tended to be on the negative side, and after every answer, she would take a sip of liquor.

With the food almost finished, Rose was also reaching her limits. When she stood up, she almost fell. Luckily, Li Du was there to support her.

Sophie went to her other side. ”Li, let me help, we need to get her to the back of the car.

Rose swatted her hand away and mumbled, ”Thanks, honey, but it’s fine. I’m not drunk, I can still go for more…”

Li Du said with his brows creased, ”Anymore, and you’ll be meeting Hades. Just admit it and—”

Rose pushed him away and exclaimed, ”No, I’m fine. I can still drink. Give me back my glass, I want to be drunk. I like the feeling of it. That way I won’t have to feel miserable anymore.”

Hannah couldn’t hold back her laughter. ”You’re not drunk, Rose. But it’ll be more miserable when you’re drunk.”

Rose shook her head heavily, ”No, no, no. If you’re drunk, then you won’t be miserable anymore. Being sober is the true…”

Sophie went to take an empty bottle and filled it with warm water. She squeezed lemon juice in it, and handed the bottle to Rose. ”Your glass is here, drink up.”

Rose pushed it away and said, ”No, that’s not my glass.”

Sophie said with a gentle smile, ”Are you drunk? You can’t even recognize your own whiskey bottle? Smell the whiskey in it.”

Rose took a sniff. As some of the whiskey aroma still lingered in the bottle, she hesitated for a moment, smiled, and drank a mouthful of the contents.

Li Du brought her to the backseat, and Sophie got in the passenger seat. He said, ”I’ll drive you back first, then I’ll bring Rose home.”

That was all he could do. Hannah’s Z4 was a double-seater, so after she and Stephen got in, there would be no more space. Hans and Godzilla were both hammered and were sleeping in the cabin.

The only one who could drive was Li Du.

Rose’s police car was a Ford Crown Victoria. It was an old brand, and the car was more than 20 years old.

However, the structure was simple and stable. The frame was firm, and could handle all kinds of roads. Maintenance was convenient, and so the car was popular with the police force.

Li Du started up the vehicle, and realized another beauty of it, which was its high horsepower. It was fitted with a V8 engine!

He stepped on the gas, and the vehicle rushed forward ferociously.
