As Ye Qiu and Baldy drank more and more, Baldy seemed to be getting more excited, while on Ye Qiu's side, he was drinking and throwing up at the same time.
People below were mocking, including Lin Jie, who sighed deeply, ready to go up and take Ye Qiu away.
At this point, it seemed that the beer they were drinking was almost finished, which was terrifying as a whole big barrel had been emptied, shocking everyone.
Yet, Ye Qiu was still not drunk, which surprised everyone even more.
"How is this guy still sober?"
"I think he's almost there, look how he's wobbling when he walks."
Baldy seemed to just be getting started, seeing Ye Qiu still standing next to him, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Kid, you can really drink!"
Baldy said with a slight smile, "Come on, let's drink the white stuff next."
Ye Qiu replied, "The fun's just getting started."
And then they started on the liquor.
After having the liquor, Baldy finally understood what Ye Qiu meant by the fun was just beginning.
Ye Qiu chugged several big gulps and then started downing glass after glass.
Everyone around was dumbfounded.
Even Baldy was scared.
In the end, after Ye Qiu finished a large barrel of liquor, Baldy had not even finished a third and was already struggling.
"What? Can't handle it anymore?"
Ye Qiu sneered as he looked at Baldy's state.
"Who, who says I can't handle it!"
Baldy waved his hand and continued drinking.
But after a while, he plunged headfirst into the barrel, clearly drunk.
"Ha ha, you won't admit it, will you?"
Ye Qiu smiled slightly, looking around at the stunned crowd, not saying a word, as he lifted Baldy with one hand and said: "Hey, hey, I won, right? Where's the money?"
"Money, what money, I don't know, get lost, I want to sleep."
Baldy seemed to be pretending to be drunk, and Ye Qiu saw through it, giving him a slap on the face: "Trying to cheat me, huh."
At the moment Ye Qiu's slap landed, Baldy bolted upright.
He was just a bit dizzy, but seeing Ye Qiu drink so much earlier, he thought about pretending to be drunk to avoid responsibility.
After all, a million wasn't a small amount. In all his years hustling, he hadn't managed to gather that much money.
He thought Ye Qiu would leave if he assumed Baldy was drunk, playing dumb, and let it slide.
But who would have thought, Ye Qiu not only didn't leave but slapped him; this instantly made him furious.
"Kid, how dare you hit me?"
"Ha ha, so you weren't drunk, you were pretending, huh?"
Now knowing Baldy was faking it, Ye Qiu said without any surprise as Baldy woke up.
Baldy's face looked ugly: "Kid, I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise I can't guarantee what will happen next."
As he spoke, he waved to his lackeys behind him, who promptly surrounded Ye Qiu with beer bottles in hand.
Ye Qiu said, "So, Baldy, you can't afford to lose, we bet earlier and you obviously lost, now that you've lost, you have to pay."
"Ha ha, what bet, what loss, what money?"
Baldy said, "Did anyone see me bet with you?"
Baldy looked around; "Did any of you see me betting with him?"
Upon hearing this, everyone lowered their heads, and some flatterers said, "We didn't see it, we only saw Baldy drinking with you, no betting involved."
"See, kid, there's no bet between us, so you'd better get lost before I lose my temper."
Baldy felt embarrassed, so he wanted Ye Qiu to leave quickly, and he didn't want to make too much of a deal out of the slap either.
"Wait, I saw it, you definitely bet with my friend just now."
At this point, Lin Jie stood up and glared at Baldy: "I say, Baldy Kong, you clearly bet with my friend that the loser has to pay the other a million, now why won't you admit it and try to weasel out?"
"Ha ha, I thought you were so tough, but turns out you're just a scoundrel."
Ye Qiu glanced at Lin Jie, and the two exchanged a smile.
"Who are you insulting?"
Baldy was furious hearing Lin Jie's words, already full of shame, being insulted made him furious.
"Hmph, I'll insult whoever's lying, how can you have no shame, making a bet with my brother, losing, and not admitting it, are you even a man, I don't think you even have balls."
Lin Jie said.
Ye Qiu laughed hearing this: "I think so too, this guy looks big and burly, but I bet it's as small as a worm."
"You're courting death!"
Baldy was at his wit's end seeing Lin Jie and Ye Qiu brazenly insult him like this, and roared in anger, waving to his lackeys: "What are you all standing around for, get those two kids."
"Yes."
The lackeys were ready to go after Ye Qiu and Lin Jie, but Lin Jie suddenly shouted: "Wait!"
Baldy said, "What, are you scared? Wanting to apologize now is useless, today you're both dead."
Lin Jie and Ye Qiu exchanged a smile, Lin Jie said: "Why is this guy so cocky."
Ye Qiu said: "Maybe it's because it's too small, not confident."
"Argghh, I'm going to kill both of you."
Baldy couldn't tolerate it anymore, roaring, grabbing a beer bottle, and shouting to his lackeys: "Do it, beat them up."
"Wait!"
Ye Qiu shouted, "You want to play the numbers game, bullying us because we're few, right?"
Baldy said, "So what?"
Ye Qiu smiled, then looked at Lin Jie.
Lin Jie nodded, sneered, "You'll be disappointed then, if you want to play numbers, fine."
Saying that, Lin Jie whistled around, causing Baldy and his lackeys to be taken aback.
At that moment, from all around, suddenly hundreds of people rushed out, carrying sticks and other weapons, surrounding Baldy, Ye Qiu, and Lin Jie.
Baldy and his lackeys were stunned, their pupils shrinking, looking at Ye Qiu and Lin Jie in disbelief.
"Who, who are you two really?"
Lin Jie smiled slightly, "Don't worry about who we are, you weren't acting so tough, playing the numbers game, how about now, do I have more people than you?"
At this point, Ye Qiu interjected, "Baldy, about our bet earlier, we need to settle it now, so when are you going to give me that million you owe?"
"When did I owe you a million, don't slander me."
Baldy continued to argue.
"Fine, if you won't admit it, then I'll beat you till you do.
