"The drug. You two just took that so-called Invincible Eight-Times-Rōnin, didn't you? It should be kicking in any moment now, I'd say," Wei Zhao said.
"What Invincible Eight-Times-Rōnin? How did we take it? Wasn't it you who took it?" An Liwen was taken aback.
"My apologies. That glass of red wine in front of me—I split it into two. Half for you, half for him," Wei Zhao said with a smile.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could you have known in advance that I was going to drug you?" An Liwen's expression shifted. Though he did not quite believe Wei Zhao's words, what Wei Zhao said was reasoned and well-founded... and most crucially, why did he feel as though his whole body was starting to burn?
"Oh, if you don't believe me, take a look inside the wine bottle..." Wei Zhao pointed at the bottle of red wine on the table and said, "Have a look. A bottle of red wine, poured out normally into three glasses, will still have some left over. Poured into four glasses, it comes out just right..."
An Liwen looked at the wine bottle and could not help but freeze! He had poured the wine earlier, so naturally he knew how much had been left. Now, glancing at the bottle, there was only a finger's worth left at the bottom; clearly someone had poured more out of it. Could what Wei Zhao said actually be true?
At that thought, An Liwen's and Su Taizao's expressions changed at once. The two of them had already felt a little hot, and now they felt even hotter...
"Brother An, is there an antidote?" Su Taizao was getting anxious.
"No..." An Liwen shook his head, then looked at Wei Zhao with a venomous expression. "Did you really switch the wine on me?"
"Whether I switched it or not, you two will find out soon enough," Wei Zhao said as he rose to his feet. "Save the inflatable doll for the two of you to use yourselves. I'm off! But don't fight over it—it wouldn't do to start a brawl over this!"
Before An Liwen and Su Taizao could react, Wei Zhao had already left the private room, and with a thin iron wire he casually locked the door from the outside. Because of the earlier instructions An Liwen had given him and his driver, there was not a single waiter outside the private room; even An Liwen's driver was standing far off at the end of the corridor...
"Mr. Lin, how come you're out? Where are Young Master An and the others?" An Liwen's driver had not clearly seen Wei Zhao lock the door, but seeing Wei Zhao walk over, he asked in some surprise.
"Oh, they're inside the private room playing a rather novel game. They told you not to disturb them!" Wei Zhao said.
"All right!" An Liwen's driver nodded. He did not know about the grudge between An Liwen and Wei Zhao, so he assumed An Liwen had specifically sent Wei Zhao out to tell him. "Mr. Lin, you're off to...?"
"I'm going back first to take care of a little business for Brother An!" Wei Zhao smiled. "I'll be going now!"
"Do you need me to give you a ride...?" An Liwen's driver asked eagerly and attentively.
"Sure, let's go!" Wei Zhao thought to himself that he had been planning to take a taxi back, but never expected someone to volunteer to drive him. Now he had even saved the taxi fare! RA
