Unknowingly, another year has passed. During the New Year, Chen Haoxuan returned home and saw that Chen Yina and the others were doing well, so he immediately went back to the Dragon Group. Most of the people in the Dragon Group did not return home for the New Year, and Jiang Dong and his group were with Chen Haoxuan. Since Chen Haoxuan didn't dare to go back, they certainly didn't have the courage to suggest returning, so Chen Haoxuan was not alone.
On New Year's Eve, Chen Haoxuan and his group held a grand banquet within the Dragon Group. Since the leader and several elders had gone home for the New Year, Chen Haoxuan was the highest-ranking member present. He sat at the main seat, raised a large bowl of white liquor, and said, "Brothers, today is New Year's Eve. I don't want to say much; if you're my brothers, let's drink!" They were not ordinary people; after drinking a few bottles of white liquor, they would only get slightly flushed. To make it more convenient and to be more extravagant, they chose to use large bowls.
"Cheers! Cheers!" Jiang Dong and the others stood up one after another, raising their large bowls and downing them in one go.
After finishing one bowl, Chen Haoxuan picked up a wine jar and filled it for himself. The liquor they were drinking was not ordinary; it was a century-old Daughter Red, found in the leader's wine cellar. In fact, it could be considered stolen since Chen Haoxuan discovered it by accident. He heard from the Dragon Group's chef that the leader had collected many fine wines, so he boldly took Thief along to steal from the leader's collection. Thief was responsible for picking locks while he handled bypassing computer security.
The members of the Dragon Group were already bold by nature, and since it wasn't them stealing but rather Chen Haoxuan, they had nothing to fear. Moreover, this century-old Daughter Red was a priceless treasure that couldn't be bought with money.
Jiang Dong raised his large bowl with both hands and stood up to Chen Haoxuan, saying, "Boss, thank you for your care all this time; otherwise, we would still be a bunch of laborers. On behalf of us veterans, I toast you with this bowl."
"Good! Cheers!" Chen Haoxuan replied as he downed another bowl. He truly enjoyed this century-old Daughter Red; if it weren't for accompanying Jiang Dong and the others, he would have already lifted the wine jar and drunk several jars by now.
Strongman stood up with his cup raised and said to Chen Haoxuan, "I Strongman bow to no one because I've never met anyone stronger than me—except you, Chen Haoxuan. I respect you with this bowl."
"Hahaha... Strongman! Actually, if you put in a bit more effort, you could definitely surpass me in strength because you have natural power. I achieved my current strength through a hundred times more effort than you. So if you want to beat me! It's simple; just work a little harder and you can surpass me. Come on, cheers!" Chen Haoxuan laughed heartily.
Hearing Chen Haoxuan's words excited Strongman; he felt hopeful about reclaiming his title as number one in strength.
Zhang Tiezhu boldly said to Strongman, "Strongman, don't get too happy too soon. Have you forgotten? I also have natural strength! So who knows! You might not surpass our Boss before I do."
Strongman slammed his hand on the table with a loud bang that nearly toppled the delicious dishes on it. He shouted at Zhang Tiezhu, "I haven't even regarded you as a threat yet! If you really can surpass me, I'll call you brother!"
Chen Haoxuan slammed his hand on the table and shouted at Strongman, "What are you slapping for? If you knock over this table of food, I'll use you for experiments."
Chen Haoxuan's words made Strongman stop being arrogant. Chen Haoxuan was bold enough to have actually grabbed someone among them for experiments before, nearly killing that person. However, his medical skills were impressive; he managed to save someone who was on the brink of death. Strongman knew he couldn't fight Chen Haoxuan, so if Chen Haoxuan really intended to use him for experiments, he had no way to resist. To avoid being taken for experiments, he obediently apologized to Chen Haoxuan, saying, "Haoxuan, I'm sorry. I was too impulsive just now. I won't do it again."
In the Dragon Group, aside from Thief, all the other women had gone home for the New Year. Thief was sitting next to Chen Haoxuan, having drunk quite a bit. Her cheeks were flushed as she said to Chen Haoxuan, "Haoxuan, didn't you say you would cure my cartilage disease? When will you help me with the treatment?"
Upon hearing Thief's words, Chen Haoxuan remembered and apologetically replied, "I'm sorry. I've been really busy lately. How about this: I'll start helping you with your treatment in a few days, okay?"
Thief jumped up in excitement, disregarding how Jiang Dong and the others looked at her. She quickly kissed Chen Haoxuan on the cheek and cheered, "Great! My cartilage disease is going to be treated soon!"
Seeing Thief kiss Chen Haoxuan, Jiang Dong and the others couldn't help but tease them, laughing, "Thief, look at our Boss not going home for the New Year. You're the only girl left in the Dragon Group. Why don't you keep our Boss company during this time? Yes! Thief, feel free to stay with Haoxuan; we definitely won't tell anyone. After all, you need a man to take care of you."
"Are you all crazy? How can you say such things? Aren't you ashamed?" Thief exclaimed as she splashed her drink at Jiang Dong and the others.
Jiang Dong and the others retaliated by splashing their drinks back at Thief. In an instant, the entire Dragon Group was filled with a delightful aroma of alcohol and laughter. If the leader were present in the Dragon Group right now, he would surely be sitting helplessly on the ground, lamenting, "My wine! This is a hundred-year-old Daughter Red! I always drink it one small cup at a time; but you all!! I leave for just a moment and you've finished all my wine that's over fifty years old! How could you be so cruel to me?"
Since it was New Year’s, Chen Haoxuan also took a break; however, his vacation was at night. During the day, he worked on developing medication for Thief's cartilage disease and partied with Jiang Dong and the others at night. They feasted on large amounts of food and drank heavily every evening, feeling as if they were heroes from Liangshan.
This kind of life quickly passed by. After the New Year, everyone from the Dragon Group returned one after another. The leader was the first to come back. As soon as he entered the Dragon Group, he caught a whiff of alcohol and muttered to himself, "Who is drinking? It smells so good! Wait a minute... why does this smell like my Daughter Red? You can't find such good Daughter Red on the market! Could it be that my wine has been drunk?" With that thought in mind, he rushed back to his office like a gust of wind.
His wine cellar was located behind a bookshelf in his office. He moved one book on the shelf; as soon as he did so, the bookshelf automatically shifted aside. Once inside, a wretched voice echoed out: "My wine? Who? Who stole my wine?"
Jiang Dong and the others heard their leader's pitiful yet furious voice and quickly hid back into their cave.
Thief, she is very kind. She is worried that the team leader will cause trouble for Chen Haoxuan, so she runs into Chen Haoxuan's laboratory and tells him to go hide for a while.
