C274 Misunderstood Lin Dong Ends the Gathering
"Whoa! This..."
Lee Tao's eyes bulged as a tempest swirled within him.
Lin Dong and the waitress were together in a restroom, and her clothes were damp—a lot to take in!
Lee Tao was inwardly impressed.
"What are you staring at? The toilet's clogged, and the waitress is fixing it. Move along!"
Lin Dong nudged Lee Tao's head.
Lee Tao quickly nodded, "Oh, right, of course."
While speaking, he glanced at Lin Dong.
He noticed Lin Dong's pants were disheveled, his belt askew, and a few strands of long hair between his fingers—clearly a woman's.
Disheveled belt... strands of a woman's hair... the waitress's wet clothes in the restroom...
Lee Tao's mind conjured up a vivid scenario.
Lin Dong led the way, oblivious to Lee Tao's wild musings.
Meanwhile, Lee Tao mentally gave Lin Dong a big thumbs-up.
Dong was incredibly bold!
He could effortlessly charm a waitress!
An exemplar for us all!
Admiration!
Aspire!
I'll have to try this myself someday!
...
Lin Dong rejoined the group.
The drinks and dishes had been served.
The assassin, masquerading as a waiter, had performed convincingly, even managing to get hold of the hotel's menu scanner.
Once the order was placed, it was transmitted to the kitchen.
If Lin Dong hadn't been so formidable, he would have easily subdued the assassin.
The assassin's cover was nearly perfect!
Bashan, holding his wine glass, cheered, "Dong's here, let's have a drink!"
"You're in this state and still drinking?" Lin Dong asked with a chuckle.
"I'm in high spirits today, plus it's Dong's first time treating us to a meal. We're all thrilled, so I'll indulge in a drink! Haha!" Bashan declared, his face bruised but beaming.
"Exactly, Dong, I'll toast to you!"
"To the mighty Dong, cheers!"
"Let's all drink together!"
...
The enthusiasm was palpable among everyone present.
Lee Tao approached, glass in hand, and exclaimed with excitement, "Dong, you're a legend to our generation. I absolutely must toast to you!"
Seeing the palpable excitement among the crowd, Lin Dong found it hard to refuse their enthusiasm.
He lifted his glass and proposed, "Alright, let's all have a toast."
"Let's drink up!"
Everyone joyfully raised their glasses and cheered.
In the midst of the revelry, the assassin disguised as a waitress seized the chance to make a stealthy exit.
Lin Dong noticed his departure but felt no urgency.
He had successfully instilled a deep-seated fear in the assassin, a fear that would likely haunt him for life.
Moreover, Lin Dong was not alone. Any connection to the Lin Family meant that Lin Dong could track him down.
The man had no chance of escape.
Lin Dong had called for the toast precisely to cover for the assassin's departure.
Once the assassin reached Xia Wenfeng, he would serve as Lin Dong's planted spy.
With this inside man, Lin Dong could keep a watchful eye on the Lin Family's second branch, mastering every detail.
Whether for offense or defense, he would be prepared, ensuring victory in every encounter.
After a satisfying meal and drinks, Lin Dong said his goodbyes to the Skyfire Motorcycle Club members and departed.
He had only sipped a little, as it was Lee Tao who had been leading the drinking.
Bashan, nursing an injury, had set his cup down after just one drink.
In conversation with Bashan, Lin Dong learned more about his background: a tough upbringing, a narrow escape from enemies, and his rescue by Li Ruobing, whom he had loyally followed ever since.
These were new stories to Lin Dong, and he found them utterly fascinating.
Concerned for the safety of the club members who had been drinking, Lin Dong prudently booked several rooms at a nearby hotel for them to spend the night.
He then arranged for a designated driver to take him back to school.
