At five in the afternoon, No Man’s Land had yet to open for business and the shop was still very dark. The waiter was cleaning and the people at the bar were setting up drinks.
Shi Xiao swaggered into No Man’s Land with Zhao Cheng and the three bodyguards following closely behind him.
Not long after Shi Xiao and the rest left, Zhao Mian came to the hospital to take care of Lin Xi.
Zhao Cheng was a man and it wasn’t convenient for him to take care of a girl, so he naturally handed this matter to Zhao Mian. He came to No Man’s Land to meet Shi Xiao right on the heels of that.
When the waiter saw Shi Xiao and the others, he hurriedly came over to stop them. “Sir, I’m sorry, but we haven’t opened for business yet. We won’t be able to entertain you for the time being.”
Shi Xiao didn’t even look at him. The bodyguards behind him had already walked up to stop the waiter.
Shi Xiao walked straight into the middle of No Man’s Land and sat on the car seat on the stage. After looking around, he asked, “Where’s the bartender?”
When the waiter saw Shi Xiao’s actions, he knew that this group of people wasn’t to be trifled with, so he said submissively, “He… he’s resting in the booth upstairs.”
This bartender was very arrogant and there was no telling how many people he had angered. However, the boss was the Tan family, so no one dared to cause trouble for him. The waiter guessed that he had probably encountered a tough opponent this time and was probably going to suffer.
The bartender, Wu Tian, was sleeping soundly on the leather chair in the booth on the second floor and even snored. Just as he was dreaming, he was suddenly lifted by two people.
Wu Tian had a bad temper, especially after being woken up. “Who the f*ck are you?! How dare you disturb my sleep?!”
The bodyguards came up and punched him to shut him up. Then, the two of them dragged him downstairs and brought him to Shi Xiao.
After Wu Tian was punched, he thought that the other party was his enemy and didn’t dare to say much. However, he secretly gave the waiter a look and asked him to call his boss, Tan Jing, to settle the trouble.
However, when Wu Tian stabilized himself and saw Shi Xiao sitting in front of him, his mind went blank. He didn’t know this person at all!
After he took another look, he was instantly furious. “Who are you? Don’t you have the wrong person?!”
“Wu Tian?” Shi Xiao sneered as he called his name. “I’m looking for you.”
His tone was cold, and he enunciated each word clearly. Wu Tian felt intense fear and even stuttered a little. “If you want to look for me, you have to tell me who you are first. Tell me why you’re looking for me…”
Shi Xiao leaned back on the leather sofa and raised his chin slightly. After he glanced at Zhao Cheng, he immediately understood and said, “Sky City is your exclusive drink, right?”
Wu Tian’s back was a little sweaty as he replied stiffly, “Yes… yes.”
Zhao Cheng smiled, revealing his white teeth, but in Wu Tian’s eyes, his smile wasn’t friendly at all.
Zhao Cheng said, “I’ve investigated. Although Sky City’s density is very high, people with good alcohol tolerance won’t get drunk after just one glass. Let me ask you, do you still remember the modified Sky City drink three months ago?”
Wu Tian originally looked indifferent, but as if he suddenly thought of something, he was shocked and panicked even more.
Wu Tian had to concoct so much wine every day that he couldn’t even remember how many cups of Sky City he had to concoct every day. Not to mention three months ago, he might not even remember what happened three days ago.
However, it was this glass of wine three months ago that left a deep impression on him.
He had always been very confident in his drinks. His usual concoction ratio was enough for a person with a good alcohol tolerance to get drunk, so he would never add or remove anything from the drink.
However, in the past three months, he had only mixed two very strange cups of Sky City.
One glass was specifically prepared for a woman two days ago. The high concentration of red cherries in the glass had been removed from Sky City.
The other cup, from three months ago, was his special edition of Sky City.
However, he really had no idea who that glass of wine ended up with..
