Chapter 249: Chapter 249: After drinking this cup
However, after drinking a few glasses of wine, Ye Qiu began to notice that the taste in his mouth wasn't quite right.
"This wine has a bit of a strong flavor, doesn't it?"
"Maybe rice wine tastes like this when it's aged for a long time," Ye Qiu thought to himself. It was his first time trying this old rice wine.
In contrast to Ye Qiu, who was drinking enthusiastically, the others didn't have the same privilege since the bottle of wine was limited.
Those who could only drink one cup did so very slowly, as if it were a celestial drink brought down from the heavens, with each sip granting immortality.
The people at this gathering were seasoned drinkers, and upon trying this rice wine, they also found it to have a good taste.
But since they drank slowly, they suddenly began to notice a faintly strange flavor.
However, they didn't give it much thought.
Instead, they remarked in admiration about how special this century-old wine was, saying that neither white wine nor red wine had such a flavor.
"This wine is amazing; it's delicious!"
"This wine is really unique; it has a robust flavor, the aftertaste lingers, and the sensation on the palate is endless."
"Yes, yes, it has a distinctive taste. Other wines don't have this flavor."
As some of them raised their glasses, they spoke as if they were expert wine connoisseurs.
However, at that moment, a middle-aged bald man suddenly blushed, spat the wine out of his mouth, and began coughing violently.
"What's wrong, Old He? Can't handle this fine wine?"
This man was one of the puppets Ye Qiu had supported, the current head of the He family from the Mingzhu family.
Seeing the man spit out the wine, one of his friends asked, laughing.
"Is there something wrong with the wine?"
The man named Old He asked with a peculiar expression.
"What's the problem?"
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow, his face showing some annoyance.
He had drunk almost the entire bottle, and this guy was wasting the wine? If he'd known, he wouldn't have shared it!
"No… the thing is, I suspect this wine was mixed with urine."
Old He, being blunt, voiced his suspicion.
He was the brother of the previous head of the He family. When they were young, their relationship was far from good, and they always looked for ways to cause trouble for each other.
Once, when his older brother was sleeping, Old He took the opportunity to put a piece of carrot soaked in urine in his brother's mouth.
His older brother woke up instantly due to the foul smell, went three days without eating, and threatened to kill him.
After hiding for a week, Old He finally dared to return home.
As soon as he got back, his brother pinned him to the ground and forced him to drink half a liter of rice wine.
That wine had been mixed with urine, and after drinking it, the taste was etched into his memory forever.
Even though nearly thirty years had passed, he still remembered the flavor.
Undoubtedly, reliving that memory was not pleasant.
After he mentioned it, the faces of everyone at the table turned pale.
Logically, they thought, that's why the wine had that strange taste.
But no one dared to say it out loud.
They feared being considered people who had never tasted fine wine, which would make them a laughingstock in high society.
Ye Qiu was especially furious because, while the others had only drunk a glass, he had already downed almost half the bottle.
At that moment, a burp rose to his throat.
He felt a strong odor emanating from his mouth.
It was as if his mouth had become a kind of chamber pot.
As a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, just by smelling that odor, Ye Qiu could identify that this rice wine had a strong scent of urine.
Just as he was about to get angry at Yang Zhongshan, who had brought the wine, Yang Zhongshan grabbed the bottle and poured the rest of the wine over Ye Qiu's face while laughing loudly.
"Young Ye, this is my 72-year-old aunt's vintage wine! It's the best we've ever made. After this bottle, there are still three more left."
Ye Qiu, enraged, couldn't contain his fury. With a slap, he sent Yang Zhongshan flying several meters away.
Yang Zhongshan landed heavily on the ground and lost consciousness.
Everyone began vomiting collectively. A group of people who had finally gained power through the Dragon Soul Organization and risen to high-ranking positions ended up celebrating their first day with urine wine!
And worse, it came from an old woman! They could have chosen a pretty young woman, but no—they had to go with this!
How utterly disgusting!
Yang Zhilan, who had been watching the scene from the door, couldn't hold back either.
The anger she had felt dissipated instantly, and she started laughing.
Apart from Tang Yu, she couldn't think of anyone else capable of pulling off such a cruel prank.
"Are you still laughing?"
When Ye Qiu saw Yang Zhilan laughing at him, his fury burned even hotter.
He had thought he could finally make her kneel and beg for forgiveness.
But after drinking that urine, all the dignity he had managed to maintain vanished in an instant.
He glared at her furiously and said, "Your Yang family is doomed. Just wait and see. In a week, your family will die. faster than any other."
She dared to laugh at him? Now the Yang family was on the brink of destruction!
They dared to oppose the Ye family—they wouldn't meet a good end!
"That's not true."
At that moment, a voice echoed through the hallway.
Tang Yu had arrived at the door without anyone noticing. He walked in with a smile and said, "So this is the king of freeloaders. I didn't think you'd eat so delicately but speak so boldly."
"It's you?"
Seeing Tang Yu, Ye Qiu's eyes filled with murderous intent.
If this bastard hadn't provoked him…
He might have kept enduring it!
Now that he was also in Mingzhu, Ye Qiu couldn't let him go so easily.
To ensure he could kill him, Ye Qiu quickly pressed some buttons on his watch, sending an emergency alert to Butler Ye and the [Sky] team.
After receiving this notification, they would rush to his location immediately.
Tonight, he planned to weave a deadly trap to get rid of this man who dared to deceive him!
"It's me. Did you enjoy the wine I prepared for you earlier?"
Tang Yu grinned as he asked.
As a result, the entire Pearl Chamber of Commerce glared at Tang Yu with fury in their eyes.
Just as they were about to lash out, another series of footsteps echoed from outside the door.
Shortly after, about ten people entered the venue.
These individuals looked haggard and exhausted but still carried an undeniable air of authority.
They were the leaders of the ten great families—or at least their previous leaders.
After Ye Qiu had taken control of these puppets, he hadn't killed them but had placed them under house arrest.
As heads of prominent families, killing them immediately would have had serious consequences.
Some were sent to hospitals under the pretense of mental illness, while others were locked up in family dungeons on fabricated charges.
In short, all of them were forced out through various schemes.
The previous night, Tang Yu and Lu Junzhuo had gone to free these individuals.
Seeing these true family heads appear, the puppets Ye Qiu had installed turned pale.
"Big brother, what are you doing here?"
"Uncle, weren't you in the hospital?"
"Father, let me explain..."
After recovering from their shock, all the puppets spoke with nervous and fearful tones.
At the same time, Ye Qiu's phone began to ring.
After listening to a few sentences, his face grew even darker.
The families he had been controlling had invested large sums of money in the stock market to crush the Yang family. But at that moment, almost all of them simultaneously withdrew their funds.
It didn't take much thought to realize that these newly freed family heads had orchestrated this move!
