Chapter 422 - Mr. Muscles (1/2)
The bright sky that once rose above Imperial soon engulf into darkness as night fell. What was once a crowded street, now empty as people had already returned to their homes.
However, three buildings down from Uncle Zhi's rundown building, a simple looking restaurant was having their own difficulty outside.
”Sir, we are now closed. You need to leave.”
A male worker of the restaurant politely asks as he tries to get a drunk customer to leave. They had already cleaned the place and locked up whatever needed to be locked.
The only thing left was to get this man to leave. He had been here since the afternoon and continued to order beer after beer.
”Sir, do you hear me? We're closed now.”
He repeated his words and stares at the fat man now sitting on the ground. As much as he wanted to help the man get up, he (the worker) is barely half the size of the drunk man.
”Sir, we are closed. You—”
”Shut up!!”
Xu Zheng angrily yells at the worker in annoyance. He indeed had a little too much to drink and now his head is pounding like crazy. If this worker says one more word, he is going to beat the living hell out of him.
Unaware of Xu Zheng's plans to beat him, the worker continues to ask.
”Sir, do you hear me? We're closed now. Is there someone we can call to come pick you up?”
As the words enter Xu Zheng's ears, his headache became more painful.
Forcing his eyes to open, he was able to open one and glares at the worker in a drunken state of mind. His hand raises and he reaches for the boy.
”Y-Y-You l-little shit. I s-said for you to *hic to shut up…”
Just as Xu Zheng was about to grab the worker, someone pulls the man away from his grasp.
The male worker turns to the person and furrow his brows, ”Boss.”
It was an elderly man that pulled him from getting beat up. He is the owner of the restaurant and looks at his employee then to the drunken man.
”Leave him be. I already locked the restaurant. Once he sobers, he'll eventually leave, or someone will come looking for him.”
It didn't take long before both employee and owner decided not to waste anymore time on the drunk man.
They have dealt with situations like this too much to care about it.
Left alone in silence, Xu Zheng's head drops, and snoring sounds came from him like he had fallen into a deep sleep.
*Ring ring*
”Mmm…”
He groans at the sound of his phone and fumble to get his phone out of his pocket.
”H-Hello…?”
[”Xu Zheng! You fat fuck, where the hell are you?!”]
A man's raging yell sounds from the other line as Xu Zheng frowns.
”I… I'm here… *hic”
[”Fucken bastard, are you drunk? Didn't I tell you not to drink?!”]
”I... *hic… I only had one beer… *hic”
[”You better not screw this up for us! If boss finds out, you're a dead man!!”]
