Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 169 Richer Than You
After saying that, Chen Chuan drank it all in one gulp, slumped onto the table, and shook the empty wine glass with his right hand without saying another word.

Looking at the young man's dazed eyes, Chen Shu knew that the man was already half-drunk.

He didn't mind Chen Chuan's baseless contempt just now. Perhaps Chen Chuan's words wouldn't have been wrong more than ten years ago.

However, he believes that in today's society governed by the rule of law, not to mention a deputy director of a police station, even an ordinary police officer could punish such illegal acts effectively.

However, it's quite obvious that Chen Chuan has a story.

That's the main point tonight.

Chen Shu raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "Two cups of Cuba Libre."

Before the new drinks arrived, he downed his first glass of liquor in one gulp. He didn't want to take advantage of his brother, and he also felt that the other man needed a good listener.

There's no story without wine, after all.

Two new glasses of foreign liquor were served quickly.

Chen Shu reached out and took the empty glass from Chen Chuan's hand, then filled it with a new glass of foreign liquor.

I lit a cigarette and watched the smoke rise slowly in circles, waiting quietly.

After smoking a cigarette, Chen Chuan leaned on the table, turned his head to look at the bright lights outside the window, and slowly said, his usual teasing tone now becoming low and serious.

"I actually grew up eating at the homes of many families in the village. When I was little, my parents went out to do business and left me with my grandfather in the village. My grandfather was frail and sickly, and he could barely take care of himself. He would usually give me some money to go to the neighbors' houses for food."

My neighbors took good care of me, always treating me to a warm welcome whenever I visited. Back then, I was naive and thought I could eat different dishes every day, which made me very happy.

Now I finally know the origin of the "King of Free Meals." Sigh, it reminds me of the small dishes I ate as a child. Although they were few and unpalatable, my parents always ate them with me. Chen Shu took a sip of his cocktail, and I don't know whether to be happy or sad for him.

"A few years later, my parents brought my grandfather and me out of the countryside. Only then did we realize how wealthy our family was. However, my parents were still very busy, and we could only eat together a few times a month."

Back then, I watched one uncle after another come to visit, bringing gifts. They were all smiles, always patting my little head and praising me, saying that I would definitely be successful when I grew up.

Later, when I grew up, wanting to be able to eat with my parents, I would use my free time after get off work to go out with them and see the world. Some of the uncles I had met when I was a child were doing quite well; some had made money, while others had become government officials.

Although they no longer patted my head when they saw me, they still smiled and praised me for being capable, becoming a policeman and also helping out at home.

Actually, I know perfectly well that this is nothing serious. It's just running errands and paying the bills for them, and at most, it's a good way to improve my drinking capacity. Hehe, my current alcohol tolerance is less than half of what it was back then!

However, after seeing more of the world, I've developed some of my own thoughts. I always feel that in this world, as long as you have money or power, you have everything.

Tired of watching and sick of hearing, and with no hope of eating with his parents, he secretly ran away alone. Then he met her, and never went home again.

The wine is gone again.

Based on their relationship of over ten years, Chen Shu was certain that Chen Chuan was absolutely capable of doing something so absurd. Considering the circumstances of tonight, he had a nagging feeling that this might be a story about persuading someone to reform.

Although the plot is a bit cliché, who hasn't experienced these love stories when they were young and full of vigor?

He stubbed out his cigarette and ordered two more glasses of Cuba Libre.

"Yes, we lived together for about half a month, and then she disappeared."

Chen Chuan picked up his third Cuba Libre of the night, paused for a moment, and then downed it in one gulp.

"Smoking nourishes the body, drinking nourishes the soul; the soul doesn't return until dawn. If there's no porridge in the morning, then fill the cup with wine at night!"

Tsk tsk, his drunken ramblings are quite something... Chen Shu raised his hand and snapped his fingers again.

"Serve……"

He had only said a few words when the guy opposite him, who was "not awake until dawn," neatly and efficiently slumped onto the table, covered his head, and fell asleep.

Soon after, he began snoring loudly.

Chen Shu: ? ? ? ?

What the hell!

What's the story?
Isn't it a romantic love story where two people fall in love willingly despite their social status, only to be forcibly separated by their powerful elders? Shouldn't it be that after their separation by death, Chen Chuan works hard, passes the civil service exam, breaks free from his family's constraints, and waits every day at the shopping mall where they first met, hoping for a reunion?

Somewhat speechless, Chen Shu looked at his old classmate, who was usually quite dashing, and recalled how the classmate would deliberately show off his charm or flaunt his popularity with women at the end of every gathering.

People tend to show off what they lack most.

Chen Shu got up and went to the front desk to pay the bill. Looking at the zeros on the bill, he felt a pang of heartache and secretly complained: This kid's nickname will now include "King of Free Meals" in addition to "King of Free Drinks".

The next morning, on Jiefang Street, at the Chanyun Shopping Mall

"Dingle bell! Dingle bell!"

The phone alarm went off on time.

Chen Shu, lying on the living room sofa, opened his eyes, touched his slightly aching forehead, and wondered if the foreign liquor he had drunk last night had been adulterated.

"Chen Shu, come and eat your noodles. If you don't get up soon, I'll eat them all."

Chen Shu sat up abruptly and looked towards the kitchen. He found it hard to believe that Chen Chuan, who had been completely drunk the night before, was now sitting at the dining table eating noodles as if nothing had happened.

However, hearing the young master's sarcastic tone, Chen Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the two had been classmates for over a decade, Chen Chuan never talked about his family. Therefore, for many years, no one knew where he actually lived.

After Chen Chuan passed out drunk last night, Chen Shu had no choice but to take him back to his home.

For some reason, drunk people are particularly heavy-hearted. Last night, I even paid extra money and asked a Didi driver to help carry me upstairs and throw me onto the bed.

Chen Shu threw off the blanket covering him, sat up, put on his slippers, went to the bathroom to tidy himself up, and then came to the kitchen to sit opposite Chen Chuan.

He picked up his fork and started eating without any hesitation.

Chen Shu did not mention the story that Chen Chuan had only half-finished telling last night.

Some things are better left unsaid; there's no need to delve into the reasons or causes.

However, there are some things that Chen Shu, who is known for cracking down on crime in the branch office, cannot let go of.

"When we're in the car later, tell me about the EME PARTY."

"it is good."

"Good lad, you have good taste! You even knew to buy this car! Not bad, not bad, you know your cars!"

Chen Chuan, whose car was a Porsche Panamera, circled Chen Shuxin's newly bought black Volkswagen Golf GTI at least five or six times.

Although Chen Shu only spent half an hour browsing online before going to the auto show and finally placing an order for the GTI, it didn't stop him from accepting his classmate's praise with a clear conscience.

"Come on, get in the car! Let me show you how much this car pushes you back!" Chen Shu had only mentioned the new car a few days ago, but he was already spouting technical terms, leaving Chen Chuan completely bewildered.

After getting in the car, Chen Shu asked Chen Chuan many questions about the EME PARTY from the previous night. Chen Chuan answered all his questions without reservation.

It turns out that although EME PARTY is ostensibly a karaoke bar, it actually does have hostesses inside. According to Chen Chuan, the karaoke bar is divided into inner and outer areas.

The private rooms Chen Shu was in yesterday, numbered 1-15, were in the outer area. Not only were they smaller than the inner rooms, but they also generally did not offer any extra services. They were mainly for new customers or customers without business needs, and their decor was still in the traditional Eastern entertainment karaoke culture.

The inner area is also the VIP area, and the room names are all represented by three numbers. For example, Chen Chuan was in the largest room in the inner area last night, MAX 888. The number of rooms in the inner area is about three times that of the outer area. In addition to the usual karaoke area and bar area, there are also billiards area, disco area, etc. There are usually two waiters, and if customers request it, they can also hire a DJ with a special style.

EME's unique feature lies in its inner area, which perfectly combines Eastern karaoke culture with Western party culture, using the most advanced sound, light, and electricity technology to create an artistic and interactive entertainment environment.
Chen Shu listened to most of it, but hadn't grasped the main point.

The vehicles that were right in front of the line remained stationary even when the traffic light turned green.

He honked the car horn a few times and asked:
"Is there any paid escort service inside?"

I always thought that KTVs were full of respectable women, but little did I know that most of the girls there were richer than you or I.
