The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

Chapter 98: Fu Weihao's Drunken State

Next door.

Seeing Wei Xuezhe lost in thought and silent, Instructor Yu raised his voice, "Wei Commissar, what are you thinking?"

Wei Xuezhe snapped back to reality at the shout and looked at Instructor Yu, who had picked up his glass again. He frowned and said, "Instructor Yu, you really want to get me drunk today. I can't drink anymore... I have things to do tomorrow."

Seeing his face, Instructor Yu realized he truly couldn't drink any more and decided not to insist. He finished his drink and said, "Shall we leave then?"

Wei Xuezhe nodded, "Yes, we should go. I really can't keep up with you."

He started to stand up, and a bodyguard behind Instructor Yu came over to help him stand and walk out.

At the restaurant's entrance, Wei Xuezhe said to Instructor Yu, "Instructor Yu, you go ahead. I'll pack some food from the kitchen. Don't wait for me; we can dine together another time."

Watching Instructor Yu's retreating figure, Wei Xuezhe turned back into the restaurant and returned to the private room. Listening to the sounds of drinking and toasts next door, he whispered a few words to the bodyguard.

The bodyguard stationed himself at the door.

Meanwhile, Fu Weihao looked at the drunken people at the table, rubbed his temples, and said to those still sober, "Let's call it a night."

He nudged the ones who had already fallen asleep and stood up, supporting the most drunk among them. Thankfully, there were still a few sober enough to help, otherwise, they wouldn't know how to get everyone home.

Once everyone had left the private room, Fu Weihao followed them out.

Seeing everyone exit the private room, the bodyguard accurately identified the target in the crowd, approached, saluted, and said, "Comrade Commander, our leader wants to have a few words with you..."

Fu Weihao looked at the bodyguard, his expression slightly paused. Hearing the request, he glanced towards the adjacent private room and told a sober comrade, "Zhuzi, please help get everyone home safely."

Zhuzi nodded, glanced at the bodyguard, and said quietly, "Bro, don't worry. But are you okay here?"

"I'm fine. You guys go ahead and take care. Be careful on the way back."

Fu Weihao watched them leave before turning back and knocking on the door of the next room. He entered to find Wei Xuezhe and was slightly surprised to see him.

Wei Xuezhe, upon seeing him enter, smiled and gestured for him to sit. He poured a cup of hot water from the teapot.

"Since you've had enough to drink, and I can't drink much either, let's just have some hot water and chat a bit..."

Fu Weihao took the cup, and though he smiled, the smile did not reach his eyes. He asked, "Commissar, what would you like to talk about?"

"Commander Fu, you're quite an accomplished young talent. I've heard good things about you..." Wei Xuezhe started by praising him, then subtly asked, "Is there anyone in your family who knows Commander Mu?"

Fu Weihao looked up at Wei Xuezhe, his tone calm as he replied, "No, Commissar. I'm from a farming family, and I don't think I have any connections with Commander Mu."

Though he had planned to hold another banquet back home with his uncle, it had never happened. They had never met.

"Oh?" Wei Xuezhe smiled, casually adding, "Commander Mu's former partner also had the surname Fu. I thought there might be some connection."
