Chapter 546: Everything That Needed to Be Done Was Done
At 6 pm, Wu Di, who had just gotten off work, hurried to the restaurant.
As soon as he entered, he started apologizing.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late. I'll punish myself with 3 drinks."
Ma Xiaoshuai joked: "Apologizing to us is useless, you should apologize to Su Qing."
Wu Di looked at Su Qing and explained: "Our boss has a problem with his brain, he doesn't assign tasks until right before we're supposed to leave, just to make us work overtime on purpose."
As he spoke, he pulled up a chair and sat down next to Su Qing.
As soon as he sat down, Wu Di grabbed the wine bottle and poured himself a glass.
"Brothers, I'm really sorry about today. I'll punish myself with one drink first."
He said, then tilted his head back and drank it all in one go.
Ma Xiaoshuai cheered.
Chen Fan teased: "Brother Di's alcohol tolerance has improved."
Wu Di sighed.
"Don't mention it. Since getting this job, I haven't learned much else, but my alcohol tolerance has shot up."
Seeing Wu Di about to drink again, Chen Fan spoke up to stop him.
"Alright, stop drinking. We're not your coworkers, there's no need for this among friends."
Hearing Chen Fan say this, Wu Di smiled and took the opportunity to put down his glass.
He turned his head to look at Su Qing beside him.
"Have you booked the tickets?"
Su Qing nodded. "Mm-hmm."
"What time?"
"9:30 in the morning."
A troubled expression immediately appeared on Wu Di's face.
Chen Fan understood what he was worried about. He smiled and said:
"It's okay, we know you're on the official career path and can't leave work. You don't need to go tomorrow, Ruochu and I will be responsible for seeing Su Qing off. We'll make sure she gets on the plane safely."
Wu Di looked a bit embarrassed: "How about I try to ask for leave?"
Su Qing shook her head: "No need. You just started working, taking leave wouldn't look good."
Wu Di could only say: "Then make sure you call me after you land."
"Mm-hmm."
Seeing that Su Qing wasn't displeased, Wu Di finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Then he made a show of rolling up his sleeves.
"Come on. Tonight's my treat, don't hold back everyone."
Ma Xiaoshuai laughed: "It's rare for you to treat us, of course we won't hold back."
"Brother Di, Su Qing is leaving tomorrow. Why don't we go to a bar to play after dinner tonight?"
"Huh?"
Wu Di was startled, his mind began to calculate how much money he had left in his bank account.
The meager salary he earned as a civil servant probably wouldn't be enough.
Fortunately, Chen Fan helped ease his embarrassment.
"Old Wu is treating this meal, if we go to a bar later, I can take you guys to a place where we don't need to spend money."
"Damn! There's such a good place? Chen, that's not cool, why haven't you mentioned it before?"
Chen Fan smiled: "It's a bar owned by my high school classmate."
"A classmate's bar. Then we should definitely go support it."
So after dinner, the group went to Glorious Years.
As soon as they entered the bar, they saw it was already packed with people.
Ma Xiaoshuai whispered to Chen Fan: "Business is good, huh?"
A waiter came over to guide them to a booth in the corner of the main hall.
Su Ruochu, Su Qing, and Song Linlin were all beautiful women. The sudden appearance of three beauties immediately attracted the gazes of many people.
Some male customers who had drunk too much even whistled lewdly.
After everyone was seated, Chen Fan asked the waiter, "Where's your boss?"
"Our boss isn't here tonight."
Chen Fan was a bit confused, had Guo Shuai gone on a date with his girlfriend?
"What would you like to drink?"
They had already drunk at the restaurant, so Chen Fan said to the waiter: "Give us 3 cocktails with lower alcohol content. And 3 juices for the ladies, plus 4 fruit platters."
"Certainly. Please wait a moment."
Among the group, Su Ruochu and Chen Fan had been here once before, while Su Qing had never been to a bar in her life.
Song Linlin, on the other hand, turned out to be the most familiar with bars.
The three girls huddled together whispering and chattering, while Chen Fan and the other two men casually chatted over drinks.
They mentioned that Brother Jie's release date was coming up soon, and they would all go to pick him up from prison together.
Wu Di readily agreed.
"Don't worry! Even if I have to take leave, I'll definitely go with you guys."
Just as they finished one round of drinks, the resident singer on stage finished a song.
The lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, and when they came back on, they had changed to colorful mood lighting.
As the music started playing, many customers who had been sitting in booths all got up and walked to the center of the dance floor, beginning to sway their bodies slowly to the music.
"Shall we go try it out?"
Song Linlin immediately became interested, urging Su Ruochu and Su Qing to go with her.
Before Su Ruochu could refuse, Song Linlin had already pulled her up.
"Come on, come on, just keep me company."
She pulled the two girls into the dance floor, one in each hand.
Wu Di stood up with a smile.
"Let's go, we should relax a bit too."
Ma Xiaoshuai grinned, "This kind of fun is better without bringing girlfriends."
Chen Fan laughed, "You'd better not let Song Linlin hear you say that."
The three men were about to head to the dance floor when Chen Fan suddenly remembered something.
"You two go ahead, I need to use the restroom."
"Lazy donkey shits and pisses a lot when it's time to work, hurry up."
After the two entered the dance floor and joined the three girls, Chen Fan finally looked away and went outside the bar.
He took out his phone and turned it on.
He dialed Feng Pojun's number.
"Hello, it's me."
"Old Feng, there's something I need you to do personally."
"Go find Old Yang, see where he is, and after you find him, help me do something. No matter what method you use, you need to ensure that Tang Xiaojun can't drive for the entire day tomorrow."
Feng Pojun suggested: "Boss, wouldn't it be easier to just have someone kidnap him?"
Chen Fan frowned.
"Kidnapping is illegal. We shouldn't do things like that."
"Do this instead: either accidentally scrape or bump into his car with another car, or slash his tires. Just make sure he can't drive at all tomorrow."
"Understood. I got it."
"Remember, after you do this, don't go to work at the club tomorrow. Stay with Old Yang and keep an eye on him, make sure he can't drive."
"Yes."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Fan let out a long breath.
There were only 3 hours left until midnight.
And tomorrow morning was the time when Su Ruochu had the accident in his previous life.
He had done everything he could.
Now it was just a matter of seeing if they could defy fate.
At this moment, Chen Fan was actually very nervous and anxious.
Since his rebirth, he had never felt so distracted and his heart had never raced like this before.
He knew very clearly whether they could break through fate's arrangement.
It all depended on tomorrow.
Even if the Grim Reaper came to claim a life.
He would wrestle with Death itself.
To avoid letting others notice his unusual mood, Chen Fan stood outside for a few more minutes, adjusting his emotions before taking a deep breath and preparing to go back inside.
However, at this moment, his gaze inadvertently swept across the road.
His expression changed instantly.
He saw several guys supporting a young man with a bloody head walking towards this side.
"Guo Shuai!"
