68: Chapter 68 What terrible things I did back then!

Hurrying to catch up with Li Yi as he walked out of the private room, Hu Zhilong said with a look of guilt, "I'm sorry, Brother Yi, I've caused you trouble today."

"Slap!" Li Yi's heavy hand landed squarely on Hu Zhilong's bare arm, making Hu Zhilong grimace in pain.

"Stop saying that. We're all friends. I couldn't just stand by and not help when I knew you were in trouble."

Seeing Hu Zhilong looking touched, Li Yi let out a long sigh and said, "Go back and tell your old man to cut ties with the Qin Family where necessary. It doesn't matter if the losses are big, as long as you keep the roots intact."

Hu Zhilong rubbed his arm frantically while looking at Li Yi in confusion, "Brother Yi, didn't you warn Qin Qitian today?"

Li Yi tapped Hu Zhilong on the forehead, frustrated by his lack of insight, "Are you a fool? I was just trying to scare that idiot Qin Qitian. Once he recovers, he'll realize I couldn't actually do anything to him. The things his family does are neither black nor white, and my brother-in-law can't really do anything to them either. You think they don't have connections in the government? It's just a coincidence that my brother-in-law happens to be in charge of that department right now."

"Just wait and see, he will definitely go after your family. If the Brilliant Group finds some excuse to stop using your family's liquor, what do you call that? That's their own business decision. Does my brother-in-law have hands that long? Can he control that? My brother-in-law is a deputy director in Chengdu, not a minister in Sichuan Province."

Looking at the thoughtful Hu Zhilong, Li Yi's heart softened. After all, he didn't have many friends—only three or four.

"Alright, alright. Later, I'll go talk to my brother-in-law and see if I can introduce you to some channels."

"Sister-in-law?" Su Ye's voice suddenly rang out from behind. Li Yi hurriedly turned his head to look. Su Ye was standing at the door of the private room behind him, looking at him in surprise.

"Ye-zi? Why are you here?"

Su Ye rolled his eyes, "Hey, listen to yourself. If you can eat here, why can't I eat here?"

Li Yi was momentarily speechless, "That's true."

Su Ye glanced at the head-bowing Hu Zhilong, then looked at Li Yi and joked, "What's the situation? A gang leader educating his subordinate?"

Li Yi glared at Su Ye, "Talking nonsense."

Then he said to Hu Zhilong, "Alright, Little Hu, hurry back and tell your old man about this. Go back early and get prepared."

"Alright, Brother Yi, then I'll be off."

He had no intention of introducing Su Ye to Hu Zhilong. After all, Hu Zhilong had too much trouble on his plate right now, and Li Yi didn't want to drag Su Ye into it.

Watching Hu Zhilong's retreating figure, Su Ye didn't ask any more questions. If Li Yi wanted him to know, he would tell him naturally.

"Want to come in and eat some more?"

"Su Ye, what are you doing?" A head with delicate features poked out. Upon seeing Li Yi, she let out an exclamation and immediately pulled back. Perhaps feeling it was inappropriate, she shyly poked her head out again and smiled as she greeted him, "Brother Yi."

Li Yi looked at Su Ye and then at Jiang Bai, a smile appearing on his face, "Oh my, you two. What is this, are you two together? Will I be disturbing you if I go in?"

Seeing Li Yi's teasing expression, Su Ye rolled his eyes, took long strides over, and clamped Li Yi's neck under his arm.

"Let's go. You're being snarky all day long. Are you an ambiguous person?"

It wasn't until the moment before entering the private room that Su Ye released Li Yi. After all, Liu Xueer was still inside the room; Su Ye was always conscious of giving Li Yi face when appropriate.

He introduced him to Liu Xueer, who had stood up, "Li Yi, my brother." "Liu Xueer, Xiaobai's best friend."

Li Yi smiled and greeted Liu Xueer. He was just that kind of person; if you weren't close and there was no conflict, Li Yi could be a very polite person.

"Waiter, waiter, hello, please add a pair of bowls and chopsticks here."

Li Yi sat down next to Su Ye without ceremony, took the bowls and chopsticks handed over by the waiter, and started eating immediately. To be honest, he was only half full; mainly, with Qin Qitian scheming nearby, Li Yi hadn't been able to eat well.

"Hey, the food here is actually pretty good."

Jiang Bai said with a smile, "Su Ye brought us here."

Li Yi didn't put down his chopsticks, his mouth relentless, "Tsk tsk tsk, it's different once you have a woman, right? Brother? What brother? Brothers are like limbs, women are like clothes. I can have my limbs severed, but I can't change my clothes."

Seeing Jiang Bai blushing, Su Ye casually picked up a piece of sea cucumber and put it into Li Yi's bowl, "Alright, alright, hurry up and shut your damn mouth."

Li Yi didn't mind at all and put the sea cucumber into his mouth to chew, making a pleased sound, "Mmm—, Mmm! Oh my, the food my brother picks is just delicious."

Su Ye was speechless and prepared to ignore Li Yi, turning to ask Liu Xueer and Jiang Bai, "How about it, are you done eating? If you're done, I'll have the waiter clear the table to avoid certain people who freeload and are still shameless."

Li Yi didn't care at all and even ate with more relish. For Li Yi, even if Su Ye had only treated him to a bowl of fried rice, it would still be delicious. Sometimes, eating isn't about what you eat, but who you eat with.

Jiang Bai and Liu Xueer covered their mouths to giggle, nodding their little heads.

Su Ye called the waiter and asked them to add two more dishes that he had found tasty earlier.

Li Yi suddenly looked up and said, "Oh, right, Ye-zi, Shenma asked me to tell you, he's getting married next Wednesday!"

Hearing Li Yi's words, an image of a person appeared in Su Ye's mind—someone over 1.8 meters tall, weighing nearly 90 kilograms, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and showing a simple, honest smile.

Shenma's name was Fu Yun. The origin of his nickname was the phrase "Everything is just floating clouds". He was one of only two people in their dormitory who seriously studied auto repair technology. Perhaps because he was from the countryside and his family wasn't wealthy, his lifelong wish was to open a small auto repair shop and earn tens of thousands every month.

"Hey, why didn't Shenma call me?" Su Ye was puzzled. Logically speaking, his relationship with Shenma should be better than Li Yi's relationship with Shenma.

Li Yi picked up a piece of dried scallop, put it in his mouth to savor the deliciousness from the coastal region, and rolled his eyes, "Have you still not unblocked Shenma from your blacklist?"

Su Ye instantly felt a wave of coolness in his brain, and his eyes immediately became much clearer.

Back when Su Ye was hot-headed, many people tried to advise him, and without exception, they were blocked by Su Ye. Of course, there were also many people who blocked Su Ye.

What a sin I must have committed back then.

"Heh." Li Yi let out a soft laugh, which was extremely insulting, and then he didn't speak, just looked at Su Ye sideways.

Jiang Bai asked curiously at this moment, "Blacklist what?"

Li Yi glanced at Su Ye and said, "It's nothing, just that back then— woo woo woo."

Su Ye smiled awkwardly at Jiang Bai and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Just had some conflicts before and blocked a few friends, and forgot to unblock them."
