The government officers from Shuntian Prefecture came, intending to apprehend the people of Meihua Ferry Crossing, but now they have no leads.
With a dejected expression, Chen Bin led his men away from Meihua Ferry Crossing, while Brother Pao cupped his hands toward those around him: "Sorry to disturb everyone. Today's drinks and meals are fully covered by Meihua Ferry Crossing."
The audience applauded enthusiastically.
On the third floor of Red Plum Building, only Chen Ji and Chen Yue remained seated facing each other, with a songstress playing the pipa not far away.
The atmosphere was cold and silent.
Chen Yue, the Store Manager, looked at Chen Ji who raised his cup toward him. He hesitated for a long time but eventually picked up his own cup.
However, instead of drinking, he gently poured the wine onto the wooden floor of Red Plum Building.
Chen Ji smiled and asked, "What's the Store Manager doing?"
