It was already very late at night, but the chef in Miweixuan was still busy for a while.

In a private room, three people were toasting each other. Liu Hu drank from a large bowl, while Liu Yu and Fan Zhixing drank from small bowls. It didn't look like the three of them were sitting at the same table.

"Ah Yu..." Fan Zhixing seemed to be drunk and staggered out his cup, "Uncle Fan, I owe you so much these past few years!"

Liu Yu quickly raised his wine cup with both hands. He had also drunk quite a bit, and his voice was a bit louder. "Uncle Fan! We're family, so we shouldn't talk behind each other's backs. You're being too formal!"

Liu Hu remained silent. To him, the wine in the jar was just like sweet wine. He had only drunk spicy wine in the mountains, so he didn't believe that this wine could make the two people in front of him so drunk.

"I, too, watched you grow up. You were on the mountain, and we were at the foot of the mountain! We... are a family!" Fan Zhixing drank the wine in his hand, and Liu Yu quickly drank it as well.

"Uncle Fan! Just say what you want to say. Since we call you uncle, it means we respect you! If it weren't for you, we would still be living in that mountain for the rest of our lives!" Liu Yu held Fan Zhixing's hand and said earnestly.

Liu Hu broke off a piece of chicken leg and chewed it hard.

"Ah Hu, I know you have always had opinions about me and your elder brother, but even if you have opinions, we are a family! You understand..." Fan Zhixing took the opportunity to climb on Liu Hu. Liu Hu was in a dilemma whether to give in or not.

"Uncle Fan, what are you talking about? Ah Hu also calls you uncle!"

"I'm going to say what I want to say!" Fan Zhixing sat up straight, and the clarity in his eyes proved that he was not drunk.

"Just say it!" Liu Yu took the wine jar and filled Fan Zhixing's glass with it.

Fan Zhixing patted Liu Hu's hand on the table, and after a long pause, he finally said, "Ah Hu, Madam Sun from the Sun family, you recognize the woman named Xiao Lan, right?"

"I recognize him!" Liu Hu spoke bluntly without hiding anything. He naturally knew that the two of them had asked him to come over for drinks today, and they must have wanted to ask him some questions.

"Xiao Zongshan's only daughter is an obstacle to the great things your elder brother and I are planning. If we let her succeed this time, all our efforts will be in vain, and we may even lose our lives!" When Fan Zhixing said this, he looked up at Liu Yu, then lowered his eyes and pretended to be depressed.

Liu Hu was a man of many talents, and although he wasn't as good at planning as his elder brother, he also felt that Fan Zhixing was just trying to scare him. Besides, he had glanced at his elder brother before, just to keep him out of the Xiao family's affairs.

"It's not that exaggerated. I just don't like that fat guy. Can't I pinch him?" Liu Hu drank the wine in the large bowl in one gulp and filled a bowl for himself.

"Ah Hu, you are simple-minded and don't understand the seriousness of this. I didn't want your brother to tell you before because I was afraid that you would worry in vain." Fan Zhixing tore off a piece of Liu Hu's favorite roast chicken and put it on his plate, his eyes full of love for the younger generation.

"Ah Hu, you don't know. The big thing your Uncle Fan and I are planning now requires Xiao Xuan to enter the Xiao family openly. That fat guy already made a big deal out of it, and we didn't have to get involved. Now that he's half-hearted, I'm not sure if your Uncle Xiao can pull it off." Liu Yu chimed in. Liu Yu knew his younger brother all too well. He was a thug, robbing and pillaging, and used to doing whatever he wanted. Even if he told him something big, he wouldn't necessarily cooperate.

Liu Hu watched the two of them singing the same tune, feeling rather unhappy. His elder brother had known about Liu Yue's visit for the past few days, but he hadn't paid any attention to her, nor had he taken the initiative to visit his younger sister. Now, at Fan Zhixing's invitation, he had hurriedly called him over.

"No matter what, Xiao Lan is the woman I like. I don't care about your big things, but I have to take care of her life and death!" Liu Hu took the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"A married woman, you think highly of her?" Liu Yu was displeased upon hearing this. He had long ago sent someone to warn Liu Hu to get rid of the woman he had met, but he had been dragging his feet and refused to do it. It was rare for him to be so devoted to a woman. As her brother, should he be happy or not?

"Yes, I do! If you have any interest in her, I won't let it go!" Liu Hu said it frankly, which also made his attitude clear. It's not that he hasn't had women before, but he has never had anyone like Xiao Lan who he wanted to touch but couldn't resist.

"Oh!" Fan Zhixing patted Liu Yu's shoulder, signaling him to stop talking. "Ah Hu is not a child anymore. Isn't it normal to be interested in a woman? Besides, I have seen Xiao Lan before. She is an extraordinary person. If Ah Hu likes her, she must be extraordinary too. Ah Hu has good taste!"

"But..." Fan Zhixing changed the subject, "I also think it's best for a woman to stay at home. It's not appropriate for her to show up in public. If Ah Hu likes her, why not just marry her?"

"I don't do things by force or robbery!" Liu Hu said this without changing his expression or heartbeat. Liu Yu slammed the wine all over the table.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Have you robbed fewer girls?"

"She's just not good enough!" Liu Hu never denied his past misdeeds, and those women weren't snatched away by him in the first place, but by Scarface. He just threw them away when he got tired of them. He didn't bother to care, and he didn't want to. But Xiao Lan was different. He couldn't imagine Xiao Lan glaring at him in his room. He liked the way Xiao Lan smiled and had to please him while holding back her bad intentions.

"Okay, okay, then no! No matter what, we will only take her business and not touch her people. Now I have informed you, if there is real danger of life, you can save her if you want, but don't get involved in business matters. With you, the door god, here, we can't do anything!" Fan Zhixing is good at talking, and every word he said is more useful to Liu Hu than Liu Yuguang's teachings.

"Got it! Your shop in the south of the city is doing so well, how can Xiao Lan compare to it?"

"No matter how good it is, we must be on guard against it. The county magistrate had some connections with her, and they caused some trouble but were dismissed before they could even start. Now, Mr. Zhu was making a good move, but you blocked it, and then that Captain Xue Wu ruined it, so there was no trouble at all." Fan Zhixing personally poured Liu Hu a glass of wine, patted his wrist, and then said, "Don't be fooled by that woman. I've had people watching her these days. It seems that the county magistrate and Captain Xue have close ties to her."

Liu Hu looked at Fan Zhixing's hand on his wrist, took the wine bowl and raised his hands, "She didn't lie to me, she said straight out that she looked down on me. But, I am a very stubborn person, I said I would protect her life and I must do so, if anyone wants to make things difficult for me, then I can only offend him!" After that, he drank it all in one gulp and continued.

"I know what you are thinking. You want to seize the leadership of the Xiao family and use their shipping, but things are not that simple. The difficult one is Xiao Zongshan. Xiao Lan just wants to live a good life. If I can't help with this, I'm not worthy of being a man!" Liu Hu raised the wine jar and filled the glasses of Fan Zhixing and Liu Yu.

"Come on, as long as you know what's going on." Liu Yu wanted to say something, but Fan Zhixing spoke first.
