Throwing down a birthday gift worth over a million is a classic move of a wealthy bachelor, and since Lin Chen is also very handsome, he naturally becomes the target of pursuit for the girls.

Watching Lin Chen stealing all the spotlight, Xu Gang's face was so dark it seemed like water could almost drip from it.

Staring at a glass of liquor in front of him, suddenly Xu Gang's eyes lit up, and he sent a WeChat message to some buddies attending the banquet.

"This upstart is too arrogant. Help me get him drunk. I want to see him carried out horizontally."

"Don't worry, Brother Xu, we'll get him so drunk, this kid is dead meat."

The group was often seen drinking heavily and each had a surprising capacity for liquor; knocking out a country bumpkin was not a problem at all for them.

The same people who were just mocking Lin Chen had started to take turns toasting him.

Lin Chen knew their intentions but he accepted every glass without refusing any, as if welcoming all comers.

Watching Lin Chen gulp down glass after glass, Zhou Yufei started to worry, "Lin Chen, you've already had a lot, no more drinking."

"It's okay, I can still drink," Lin Chen said with a drunken look on his face.

Xu Gang let out a cold laugh, raising his glass and said, "Brother Chen really can hold his liquor, let's drink this glass."

Lin Chen shook his head, "Drinking like this is too unsatisfying. Let's switch to big bowls."

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the group was somewhat hesitant. They had already downed five bottles of liquor, and even Xu Gang and his friends were feeling the pressure. But here was Lin Chen suggesting they switch to big bowls at this moment.

"Scared, huh? Fine then, let's not drink. It's boring," Lin Chen waved his hand.

"All right, switch to big bowls," Xu Gang said through gritted teeth.

Lin Chen was already a bit drunk. With a little more effort, they could take him down. Xu Gang wouldn't back down just as he was about to achieve his goal.

Xu Gang had even thought about dumping Lin Chen into a filthy ditch once they managed to get him drunk and pretended to take him home.

Soon, the big bowls were brought over by the waiters.

Lin Chen personally filled the big bowls to the brim and then lifted his, "Fellas, today is Yu Fei's birthday, we're all happy, I'll drink first as respect. Anyone who doesn't drink is not a man."

After speaking, he guzzled down the liquor in his bowl, turning it upside down, then smiling at Xu Gang and his friends, "Your turn!"

The group was dumbstruck; that was a lot of booze, and this guy was downing it like it was water!

Faced with a big bowl of liquor, everyone was scratching their heads. They had almost reached their limits after the previous five bottles, but if they didn't drink, Lin Chen had just put it out there – anyone who doesn't is not a man.

If they didn't drink, they were done for today. Even though it was difficult to swallow, they still frowned and drank all of the liquor in their bowls.

The group drank the liquor as if taking medicine, which became the last straw for some of them. After finishing the drink, including Xu Gang, several of them collapsed onto the table with a thud, unconscious.

"Hey, why aren't you drinking? Keep going," Lin Chen said, holding up a big bowl, looking at the people sprawled over the table with an eager expression.

Lin Chen had indeed drunk a lot just now, but he had already had the system exchange popularity points to turn the liquor into water, so he wasn't affected at all.

Xu Gang and his close friends, who had wanted to get Lin Chen drunk, were slumped over the table, drunk as dead dogs.

This guy could really hold his liquor. Seeing that Lin Chen was perfectly fine, the others at the table were dumbfounded. What kind of drinking capacity was this, to be utterly unaffected by a thousand cups!

"Lin Chen, are you really okay?" Zhou Yufei looked worriedly at Lin Chen.

The previously tipsy Lin Chen seemed as if nothing had happened at all, "I'm fine. How could I be affected by just this little drink?"

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the others at the table were flabbergasted. Lin Chen alone had drunk two bottles of liquor today and seemed unharmed. He was too good at drinking.

Zhou Yufei, looking at Xu Gang still talking nonsense while collapsed on the table, frowned, "How embarrassing. Call their families and get someone to take these guys home."

The birthday party ended with Lin Chen gloriously downing not just Xu Gang but five people in total. They were sent straight to the hospital for IV drips upon leaving the party.

"Lin Chen, thank you for coming to my birthday party. I'm really happy," Zhou Yufei said, her face flushed, as they left the restaurant.

"As long as you're happy," Lin Chen smiled.

"How will you get back?" Zhou Yufei asked with a smile.

"Oh, I'll take a taxi," Lin Chen said with a laugh.

"Brother Chen is really a show-off, giving gifts worth a million and still taking a cab," Zhou Yufei said teasingly.

"The truth is I'm not showing off, I really don't have a car," Lin Chen said helplessly.

"Let me give you a ride back. You drank quite a bit, and I wouldn't feel at ease if you went back alone," Zhou Yufei said, and with a wave of her hand, an Audi car stopped in front of them.

Lin Chen actually felt fine, but Zhou Yufei had insisted to this point, and he felt it would be rude to refuse, so he got into the car.

"Uncle Zhao, to Peach Blossom Village," Zhou Yufei instructed.

"Alright, Miss," Uncle Zhao replied with a smile, and started the car.

The car drove slowly through the traffic, Zhou Yufei's cheeks slightly flushed from drinking quite a bit of red wine today.

"My head is a bit sore, Lin Chen, may I lean on your shoulder for a bit?" Zhou Yufei suddenly asked.

"Sure," Lin Chen nodded.

Zhou Yufei's head rested on Lin Chen's shoulder, and before long, she began to snore softly, having fallen asleep.

Feeling the fragrance from her hair and the cool touch from her smooth skin, especially when his gaze accidentally swept over her curved figure, Lin Chen felt somewhat unsettled.

At that moment, Zhou Yufei was also secretly sizing up Lin Chen, squinting her eyes. Seeing his slightly flushed cheeks, her heart felt sweet, and leaning on his shoulder truly felt comfortable.

In a villa district in DY city, Du Wei's face was still somewhat swollen, and he sat in an executive chair with a gloomy expression, a blond young man standing in front of him.

The blond young man, named Tom, was Du Wei's personal bodyguard hired from abroad and the assassin Lin Chen had encountered in the alley.

"Did you find out anything about that kid?" Du Wei asked grimly.

"Boss, I have. The kid has no background at all; he's just a poor farmer from Peach Blossom Village," Tom reported respectfully.

"A poor farmer dares to oppose me, he's courting death," Du Wei said angrily.

Remembering the humiliation he suffered that day, Du Wei was almost driven mad with rage.

He had originally thought that Lin Chen might have some powerful connections, so he had hesitated to move against him. To his surprise, the guy turned out to be just a poor farmer.

"Boss, the person who appeared when we tried to take out that little policewoman last time was also him, this kid has some skills," Tom said warily.

"Even you're not his match?" Du Wei frowned.

Tom nodded: "Young Master, although the kid is tough, he's only one person, so we could strike at the people around him!"

"The people around him?" Du Wei's eyes lit up.

"I heard that the kid has a girlfriend, and they run a restaurant together named Zhao Xiaowen. If we use her to threaten Lin Chen, I'm sure he'd have no choice but to surrender," Tom proposed.

"Hmm, good idea. I'll leave this to you, and there will be a handsome reward if done well," Du Wei nodded.

"Yes, Young Master, I will handle it right away," Tom said as he turned to leave.

Touching his swollen face, Du Wei's mouth curled into a cold smile: "Kid, I will let you know the price of crossing me, I will make your life worse than death."

Lin Chen sneezed, which woke up Zhou Yufei beside him. "Yu Fei, I'm here," he said.

"So soon?" Zhou Yufei rubbed her eyes and sat up.

"Uncle Zhao, the road ahead is under construction, and it's hard to get through. Just stop by the road," Lin Chen said.

Uncle Zhao parked the car by the side of the road, and Lin Chen and Zhou Yufei said goodbye as they walked towards the village.

It was already late into the night. As Lin Chen had just entered the village, he heard sounds of scuffling coming from Widow Wu's yard at the village entrance.
