Chapter Forty-two: Medicinal Wine

  Koryu Hiyori's heart skipped a beat when he saw him holding the wine jug, because it seemed like Hiroshi Hirosi was holding the jug with one hand and pressing down on the lid with the other, as if worried that the wine would spill out from under the lid. However, Koryu Hiyori noticed that the hand pressing down on the lid had its little finger secretly extended, lifting the lid and pouring something from his palm into the wine jug, then gently shaking it a few times with both hands!

  What is he going to do? Gu Longfei was puzzled, until he saw him pouring wine into each person's cup, and suddenly realized that he had put medicine in the wine, preparing to knock everyone down! Based on the fact that he also poured the same wine for his father Guang Tian Yangyi, he knew that he only wanted to make people drunk, not to harm anyone's life. Otherwise, wouldn't he be killing his own father too?!

  Kuryuu Hiryuu pretended to be drunk, lowering his head, but he carefully observed every move of Hirokazu Suou, and immediately remained calm and silent, watching him mesmerize everyone, what was his intention?

  After Hirotsugu Kōdai finished drinking, he returned to his seat and sat down, then returned to his initial state, not saying a word, not looking sideways, and was like two different people from the time when he fought with Gu Longfei for wine. This is indeed a rare and strange person.

  Feng Xiaotian became more and more excited after drinking a few cups, and after urging everyone to try a few dishes, he ignored his daughter's dissatisfaction and raised his cup again to let everyone drink. Gu Longfei secretly glanced at Hiroshi Koide, only to see him pick up the wine glass, lightly touch it to his lips, and take advantage of everyone's inattention to tilt the glass backwards, pouring the entire cup of wine onto the floor behind him!

  Qiu Long was secretly amused, and this also taught himself a lesson. He was considering how to dispose of the cup of drugged wine in his hand when Hiroshi Wada suddenly appeared on the scene for an impromptu lecture. Following suit, he poured the wine behind his head, pretending to take a big gulp, and ended up with a burning sensation that left him gasping for air!

  After several rounds of wine, Hua Wushuang and Hua Wudui, the two brothers, also relied on the power of alcohol to slowly open up. Hua Wushuang unbuttoned his jacket, stood up, raised his cup towards Feng Xiaotian and said: "Uncle Feng, cheers to your good health!" He was normally shy about speaking in front of many people, but after drinking a few cups of wine, he could say a short sentence, which was already quite an achievement!

  Feng Xiaotian chuckled and said, "This is more like it! You're finally showing some manliness! Otherwise, you'd be like a big girl all day, how would you find a wife in the future!" He raised his hand and downed a cup of wine, seeing that his brother's child had finally made some progress, he was truly delighted.

  Hua Wushuang's face turned even redder upon hearing this, and she hastily lowered her head, no longer daring to look at anyone. Feng Ling saw this in her eyes, let out a giggle, and her voice was crisp and pleasant, like the wind chime under the eaves, swaying back and forth in the breeze.

  Hua Wu Dui's personality, although still a bit shy, is better than his brother's, especially when he sees Feng Ling's stunning and charming appearance, his heart beats fast. He pours a cup of wine first to toast Feng Xiang Tian, then pours another cup and says to Feng Ling: "Feng... Feng Ling, I'd like to toast you too!"

  "Feng Ling smiled and said, 'Brother Wu Dui, why do you want me to drink wine?' After she finished speaking, she found that Hua Wu Dui's hand holding the wine cup was slightly trembling, his eyes were flustered and he didn't dare look at her straight. She knew he was embarrassed, so she chuckled and still took a sip of the wine. She knew that Wu Shuang and Wu Dui, both brothers, were extremely timid people, and didn't want Wu Dui to be embarrassed, so she forced herself to drink."

  Kurono Hiroto pretended to be drunk, his eyes dazed, but he never relaxed his surveillance of Hirotoshi. When Hirotoshi saw Hanae, a sudden glint of hatred flashed in his eyes! Kurono was taken aback - could it be that Hirotoshi had set his sights on Hanae? If so, he estimated that Hiroshi would agree to it out of consideration for their old classmates and fellow anti-war allies. However, Kurono was worried - the father-son duo didn't seem as they introduced themselves, and he suspected they had ulterior motives, especially after discovering Hirotoshi secretly drugging his drink.

  Hirokazu Wada saw Huā Wú Duì and Fèng Líng, he suddenly stood up, first separately toasted Feng Xiāo Tiān and Huā Mǎn Lóu, then drank his own cup of wine, still secretly pouring it away. Then he toasted Fèng Líng saying: "Miss Fèng, for your heavenly beauty and national color, I...I..." Before he could finish speaking, his face suddenly changed, his eyes widened in shock, his legs went soft, and he fell back into his chair, losing consciousness and fainting!

  Qiu Longfei was shocked at the sight, having just seen him pour away the wine. How could he have fainted? But then he understood - this was a trick by Hirokazu Kouda, pretending to be drugged and waiting for an opportunity to clear himself.

  Feng Xiaotian saw Hirokazu fall to the ground, hastily got up and asked: "Hirokazu, what's wrong with you?" As soon as the words fell, he felt a dizziness, followed by his body suddenly becoming like a dough, having no strength to stand, and also falling onto the chair, then he knew nothing.

  The flowers on the building were also a big surprise, and I knew someone had poisoned me. Just as I was about to get up to see who did it, my hands and feet stopped listening to me, and suddenly everything went black. Then my consciousness became blurry, and soon I fell into a deep sleep.

  Then, Hiroshi Noda, Fengyao Mountain, Fengling, Huawu Shuang, and Huawudui all fainted one after another. Gu Longfei saw the situation and pretended to have drunk the anesthetic, leaning back in his chair with his head facing Hiroshi Noda's direction, leaving a small gap between his eyes to observe Hiroshi Noda's movements.

  As expected, it wasn't long before Hiroshi Kadowaki quietly opened the corner of his eye and saw that everyone had been knocked out by the drug. He slowly opened his eyes, confirmed that everyone was unconscious, and then got up lightly. A faint smile of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth as he walked slowly to Feng Xiaotian's side. He reached out with his hand to feel his breathing, which was fine and steady, just like a person in deep sleep. Only then did he carefully search Feng Xiaotian's upper pocket, frowning slightly as if he couldn't find what he was looking for.

  Jiulong Fei didn't dare to move, holding his breath, not letting Hiroshi Hirosawa notice that he was still awake. Otherwise, he wouldn't know what he was looking for on Feng Xiaotian's body, and he couldn't see through his sinister plot!

  Hirokazu Wada patted Feng Xiaotian's body for a while, but didn't find anything. He stopped his hand and suddenly looked at Feng Ling, wondering if the thing might be on Feng Ling's body? Gu Longfei followed his gaze, shocked in his heart. This kid was going to search Feng Ling's body! If he really dared to lay hands on Feng Ling, then for the sake of preserving Feng Ling's innocence, he would have to take action to stop him!

  Fortunately, Hirokazu Hirotani quickly withdrew his gaze and stretched out both hands to feel around Feng Xiaotian's waist. Gu Longfei didn't know what he was looking for, but judging from his expression, it seemed that he hadn't found anything on Feng Xiaotian's waist either! Hirokazu Hirotani slowly became a bit impatient, suddenly withdrew his hand and patted his own forehead several times, then scratched his scalp, and suddenly his face lit up with joy, as if he had made some discovery.

  As expected, Gu Longfei saw him bow down and lean in to take a closer look at Feng Xiaotian's neck. On Feng Xiaotian's neck was a black chain with a pendant that looked like a key. Hiroto Kouta smiled triumphantly and gently removed the chain from Feng Xiaotian's neck, playing with it in his hand for a moment. Gu Longfei took a closer look and indeed it was a key! The only question was, what did this key unlock?

  Hirokazu Hirota found what he needed, with a self-satisfied look on his face. He took the necklace and walked towards the side room, but after a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and saw that everyone at the table was still unconscious. Only then did he continue forward with ease.

  Kuryuu Hiryuu remained still, not moving until the sound of Hirokazu's footsteps faded away. Only then did he slowly straighten his body. What was Hirokazu after? He had stolen Feng Xiaotian's key, clearly intending to steal something. But what? Suddenly, a thought flashed through Kuryuu Hiryuu's mind - could it be that his goal was the same as his own, also aiming for the 'Missouri' plan?

  As soon as Gu Long thought of the 'Missouri' plan, his heart skipped a beat. Murong Ding and Xiao Cheng had both told him that the 'Missouri' plan was crucial, not only for Japan's invasion and occupation of China and the world, but also for the outcome of the entire anti-fascist war effort! If Hiroshi Wada wasn't one of their own allies against the war, but rather a supporter of Japanese militarism, and he got his hands on this 'Missouri' plan and sent it back to Japan's headquarters, that would be disastrous! Not only would Feng Xiaotian and others' sacrifices and efforts be in vain, but people all over the world would also fall into an abyss from which they could never escape!

  Jade Dragon suddenly thought of this, and he couldn't sit still anymore. He had to take action and stop Hirokazu's conspiracy, or else the unbearable consequences would not only affect himself but also people all over the world! Just as he was about to stand up and follow Hirokazu secretly, taking him down when he least expected it, waking up Feng Xiaotian and the others, and then telling them about this enormous conspiracy, letting everyone see Hirokazu's true face... Suddenly, a brilliant plan flashed before his eyes. This plan could not only ruin Hirokazu's scheme but also achieve his own goals while helping Feng Xiaotian preserve the hard-won 'Missouri' plan!

  At this thought, a fascinating smile appeared on Gu Long Fei's handsome face. His current smile would definitely captivate any woman who saw it!

  Kuroryū Hī ran extremely fast towards the entrance where Hirokazu Hirotada had just entered, and stopped beside the door. He listened carefully for a while, but there was no sound coming from inside the house. This was Kuroryū's first time at the Phoenix House, so he didn't know its internal structure. But judging by the looks of it now, this wing of the house seemed to have some depth to it. Where had Hirokazu Hirotada gone with that key?

  Not hearing Hiroshi's voice, Koronbei flew into a great joy, this was exactly what he had planned!
