The three people of Zhao Wei's group also arrived in front of Lil 'White and the others. They said, ”We were discussing things with someone in the shop just now. I heard how noisy it was outside. I didn't expect it to be you guys. What's going on?”
After Xiaoqing recounted the sequence of events to Zhao Wei, Zhao Wei nodded, then bowed to a few old men, saying, ”Elders, many thanks for your help today.”
The others waved their hands to express their disapproval. Old man Wang laughed, ”There's no rush. If it wasn't for Doctor Qin, our brothers would have died a long time ago. What we did for Chun Niang today is not enough to repay this saving grace!”
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they entered the shop. Zhao Wei directly led them to the private room upstairs. Before they even went to the kitchen, he had already brought a jug of good wine to each of the old men. The few old men sat in the private room, a bit at a loss of what to do. They inadvertently took a glance at the dishes on the table. They would need at least three years to save all of them. Old man Wang, who had said he would treat them, was now flushed red. Zhao Wei, on the other hand, saw through the old men's thoughts. He laughed and said, ”Everyone, today you all let go of your food. Since you are Whitey's uncle, then you are my uncle. Someone come! ” With a roar from Zhao Wei, a running man came into the hall.
”Go and tell your shopkeeper that from now on, these few people will eat and drink here, and it'll all be on my account.” As Zhao Wei said this, he handed a silver ingot with unique patterns from the King's Manor to Treadmill. The waiter saw the silver ingot and nodded. Then, he left the restaurant.
Just as everyone at the table was happily eating, they heard a wave of curses coming from downstairs. Not long later, the sound of footsteps could be heard as two people came to the door of the private room. The one leading the group was the attendant that was flirting with Whitey and behind him was a bailiff wearing black clothes.
”Master!” ”That's them!” The attendant pointed at Zhao Wei and the others.
Without wasting any time, he took out his chain and said to Zhao Wei and the others, ”Brothers, let's go. Don't let me do it in a restaurant.”
Zhao Wei sighed and said, ”Sure, let's go.” After that, he stood up and followed the bailiff, leaving the rest of the people to follow after him.
When the shopkeeper heard that Zhao Wei and the rest had been taken away by the bailiffs, he immediately ran to Luo Lingwei's residence and reported the matter to her. After Luo Lingwei received the news, she did not say anything further and rushed to the yamen with a few guards.
