"This bar seems very famous." Xu Taiping said.

The owner of the bar knows a lot of people in the Jianghu. Hongtai, Xingyi's boss is good friends with the owner of the bar, so don't look at those good places, they are basically the top people in the Jianghu area of the city. And those big capitalists are not to be trifled with. the Cowherd said.

"Right now, money is the way to go." Xu Taiping said.

"That's right!" The Cowherd nodded and said, "Rich? Whatever you say. Without money, you are nothing."

"How's business been recently?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I've been doing pretty well recently. As you know, I'm a mutant, so the local societies in Hong Kong have all listened to the rumors and targeted me. Fighting and killing are inevitable, but fortunately, I can't deal with them, and neither can they do anything to me." the Cowherd said.

"Ox Bro, you're from the society?" Zhao Xiaohua asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Xu Taiping nodded.

"Then... Ox-Head doesn't know a guy named A-Biao? " Zhao Xiaohua asked.

"Ah Biao? Hong Tai's Ah Biao? " the Cowherd asked.

"Seems so." Zhao Xiaohua nodded.

"I know him, but I'm not familiar with him. What's wrong?" the Cowherd asked.

"This... "It's like this, peace, do you know why we didn't start for the past few days?" Zhao Xiaohua asked.

"Why?" Xu Taiping asked.

"It's because of this A-Biao that he wants to collect protection fees. If we don't pay protection fees, then he won't switch us on." Zhao Xiaohua said.

"You're filmmakers?" the Cowherd asked.

"It's, it's Boss Xu's movie." Zhao Xiaohua said.

"About this, it's normal to pay a protection fee when you're filming here, even if it's Bro Xu who comes looking for me. This is a rule of the martial arts world; after you pay the protection fee, the local society will protect you from being harassed by those ruffians and hooligans during the filming process. It's the same as it has been for more than a hundred years." the Cowherd said.

"We know that, but... We already gave him two protection fees, one for 200,000 and one for 500,000, but after only two or three days, this Ah Biao has already started asking for protection fees again. We were worried that after giving it to him a third time, he would ask for a fourth time, so we did not give it to him. Zhao Xiaohua explained.

"Oh? "There's such a thing?" Xu Taiping raised an eyebrow and asked.

"This A-Biao has overdone it." The bull man frowned, "There are rules. In our line of work, the protection fees are basically all collected at once. People like you who come from the mainland to make movies are usually around five hundred thousand a month. A-Biao charged you seven hundred thousand in two or three days. This is not in accordance with the rules of the martial arts world!"

"Then can you help us talk it out?" Zhao Xiaohua asked.

"This..." The bull man glanced at Xu Taiping, saying, "Bro Xu, this is the movie that you made. Then I'll definitely help you out, and also, this is done by A-Biao. I'll go speak to the person responsible for it, so it shouldn't be a problem."

"Then I'll be troubling you." Xu Taiping said.

"Bro Xu, look at what you're saying. It's my honor if you're useful to me. Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's drink!" He picked up the bottle and poured the wine for Xu Taiping.

Very quickly, everyone began to eat and drink.

Xu Taiping didn't really like nightclubs and things like that. He was a key judge of people, like bulls, and he thought of them as good friends, so no matter where he drank, he would be happy. Thus, everyone was very happy to drink from 11am to 1am in the morning.

In the blink of an eye, it was already half past one.

Xu Taiping suddenly noticed that a group of people had walked into the bar and sat down in the middle.

Brother Xu, look at that man with the hair combed back, that man is Hong Tai's savior. We all call him Old Zhu, this man is ranked in the top three in the martial arts world of the entire Hong Kong city. Look at the man on his right, that man is A-Biao, one of the leaders under Old Zhu. He took his cup and a bottle of freshly opened VS Potion, and walked to the middle booth.

That person called Old Zhu had attracted the attention of many people in the bar. Many of them, like the Cowherd, took their wine glasses and walked towards the booth, as if to toast.

This kind of display was similar to Xu Taiping's in Jiang Yuan City.

Xu Taiping didn't drink anymore either. He just looked at the Cowherd.

The lights in the bar were dim and the music was loud, so he couldn't hear what the Cowherd was saying. However, he could see very clearly.

Xu Taiping saw the bull man walk over to that Old Zhu, then bend down with a fawning smile and say something to him. Then, Xu Taiping saw the bull man pour himself a full cup of wine and drink it himself.

After the bull had drunk his glass of wine, Xu Taiping saw the man called A-Biao look at them.

Even though they were more than ten meters away, Xu Taiping could still see that A-Biao was smiling at him. Xu Taiping saw the Cowherd pouring him another glass of wine, and then drinking it all in one gulp.

"That friend of yours drank two glasses of pure foreign wine!" Zhao Xiaohua whispered.

"Yes." Xu Taiping nodded, but didn't say anything.

At that moment, Xu Taiping saw the bull man add another glass of pure foreign wine to his cup. The bull man then turned to face A-Biao, as if he was toasting him.

A-Biao sat on the sofa and clinked his glass with the Cowherd's, then took a sip. The Cowboy, on the other hand, drank the entire cup of wine.

Within less than a minute, the bull had drunk three glasses of pure foreign wine. However, the bull had been smiling the entire time.

After the third glass of wine, Cowherd poured a fourth and drank with the others in Old Zhu's booth.

After finishing the four cups, the oxen smiled and waved to everyone before turning around to walk back to Xu Taiping's booth.

Xu Taiping saw that the bottle of VS that Niu Lang had just opened had finally come to an end.

"Why do you drink like that?" Xu Taiping frowned and asked.

Old Zhu is an old martial artist, as well as a highly respected person. The first cup is to toast him, the second is to beg him for help, the third is to greet A-Biao, and the fourth cup is to show respect to the people around him. This wine must be drunk. the Cowherd said.

"Thank you very much." Xu Taiping poured himself a full cup of wine and said, "My glass is dry, so feel free to drink."

With that, Xu Taiping drank the wine.

"Bro Xu, please wait for a while. I need to vomit. I'll drink with you after I puke!" He put down his glass and bottle and walked to the side.

"Four great cups, almost a bottle of foreign wine. If it were me, I'd have to vomit too. Your friend is really nice to you." Zhao Xiaohua said seriously.

"En!" Xu Taiping nodded. He didn't go to help the Cowherd when he was drinking, not because he was scared, but because he had never planned to go with him, and the other one was that the Cowboy was doing things for him, every place had its rules, and every place had its rules. The Cowboy was doing things for him, so if he went there to help, it would mean that he didn't trust the Cowboy in his ability to do things.

After about five minutes, the Cowherd returned.

"So what if I puke. Although my alcohol capacity is not bad, if I don't puke all these in one breath, I will become a complete idiot." "Come, Bro Xu, I owe you one just now. I'll drink it!" He poured himself a glass of pure wine and downed it in one gulp.

"We drink with our own people, there's no need to care about such things." Xu Taiping said.

"That won't do. Bro Xu, you're my benefactor. If I drink with you, I'll definitely drink as much as you want!" the Cowherd said, taking his seat.

Just as the Ox-head man sat down, Xu Taiping saw the man called A-Biao walking over to their booth with a glass of wine in his hand. Meanwhile, Old Zhu was already gone from their booth.

"Ox Bro, I came to play with you." Ah Biao laughed.

"Come, come, sit." The Cowherd stood up and greeted them enthusiastically.

"Alright." A-Biao nodded and sat down next to Zhao Xiaohua.

"Ah Biao, come sit next to me. It's been a long time since we've had a good drink. We have to drink more this time!" Niu Lang pushed aside the woman beside him and said to A-Biao.

"No, no, no, Brother Niu Lang, come out and play. How can you play with a man? You have to play with a woman, right? I seem to have met this beauty before!" A-Biao said while smilingly placing his hand on Zhao Xiaohua's thigh.

Zhao Xiaohua reacted very quickly. Without waiting for A-Biao to place his hand on her thigh, she moved closer to Xu Taiping, sticking closely to his body.

This empty hand of Ah Biao did not seem to mind at all. He smiled as he held his wine cup and said, "Come, come, everyone. Let's drink. I'll finish my cup. Is that enough for you guys?"

"Little Flower, sit over here." Xu Taiping patted his other side.

Zhao Xiaohua quickly got up and sat on the other side of Xu Taiping. Although Xu Taiping's other side was very narrow, causing Zhao Xiaohua to stick close to him, in order to avoid being taken advantage of by this Ah Biao, Zhao Xiaohua still sat on Xu Taiping's other side without any hesitation.

"This pretty girl, aren't you going too far? Although I, A-Biao, am not a handsome man, I am still someone with a name in the martial arts world. Are you looking down on me?" A-Biao frowned as he placed the cup of wine that was about to be drunk into his mouth onto the table.

"Ah Biao, this is my big brother's woman." the Cowherd said.

"Your big brother? Ox Bro, you have a big brother too? How come I've never heard of it? " A-Biao asked.

"This is the elder brother I recognize." Cowherd explained.

"Oh, so that's the case. From the sound of it, you are from the mainland?" "There is a saying in the mainland: 'Delicious is no more than dumplings, but fun is no more than sister-in-law.' This is your elder brother, and this sister is your elder sister-in-law. Have you ever played with her before?" A-Biao asked playfully.

"Have you ever played with the woman of your elder brother, Old Zhu?" Xu Taiping suddenly asked.

Xu Taiping's words suddenly froze the atmosphere in the room.
