Lin Wu understood this logic and stopped saying more. Even if they encountered any trouble, Lev, the local, was there. He knew what the GS Group did. Politely speaking, they were security personnel; bluntly put, they were half mercenaries, legally armed.
Soon, they found a chain Western restaurant with a distinct Russian flavor. It wasn’t very crowded, so they found a corner and sat down.
The waiter, a local from Irkutsk, spoke Mandarin but not very fluently. Zhou Chao felt embarrassed to converse in Mandarin since even if he responded, the waiter might not understand. So, Zhou Chao spoke in fluent Russian.
“Everyone, we’ll have the signature steak for each person, and also one of each dish listed on this menu,” Zhou Chao ordered boldly, surprising the waitress. Though the menu wasn’t extensive, with only about twenty dishes, the order was still quite remarkable.
“Sir, are you sure you want one of each dish?” The waitress couldn’t believe her ears. Were Huaxia people really this wealthy?
Zhou Chao nodded gently, indicating his certainty. Seeing this, the waitress left with the menu.
Since the restaurant wasn’t crowded, they didn’t have to wait long. Within less than ten minutes, their ordered dishes started arriving one by one. The table soon filled with dishes, mostly meat-based, with just a few soups and pastas.
Seeing that all the dishes had arrived, Zhou Chao called out to everyone to start eating.
After tasting, the meat was indeed excellent and fresh, and the chef’s cooking was superb. Zhou Chao looked at Lin Wu and the others, who were already devouring the food eagerly, swallowing a third of the steak in one bite. Zhou Chao shook his head at the sight.
“If you need more, just order.”
Lin Wu nodded without lifting his head. “Got it, boss!”
Perhaps the meat here was indeed delicious. After finishing their meals, Lin Wu and the others ordered another steak and grilled meat. They spent nearly an hour before ending the dinner. When Zhou Chao went to settle the bill, he realized that the prices here were indeed much cheaper than in Huaxia, especially for meat.
“It’s getting late. Let’s go!” Zhou Chao saw that it was already completely dark outside, with very few pedestrians on the road, and the occasional passing car.
Just as they were about to leave the restaurant and get into the car, they heard a loud bang from behind the car. Zhou Chao furrowed his brows slightly, and Lin Wu quickly walked to the back of the car. He saw a local tough guy leaning against their car, unzipping his pants, apparently intending to relieve himself right there.
“What are you doing?” Lin Wu shouted loudly, startling the tough guy, who was about to urinate, into a sudden stop. Suddenly sobering up, he no longer felt the urge to go and became considerably more alert.
“Gugish!” The tough guy spat out a Russian word, his right hand clenched into a fist, with the thumb sticking out between his index and middle fingers.
Although Lin Wu couldn’t understand the words, he understood the gesture; it was an insult. Just as he was about to teach the tough guy a lesson, Zhou Chao spoke up, “Why bother with a drunkard? Just chase him away!”
Zhou Chao and the others also approached from the side of the car. When the tough guy saw Zhou Chao and five or six others, he thought for a moment and then turned and ran. But he hadn’t gone far before he stumbled and fell to the ground on his own. Seeing this, Zhou Chao and the others burst into laughter.
A gust of cold wind blew, making everyone shiver involuntarily. “Phew, it’s so cold. Let’s go back to the hotel.”
