Huang Yuan saw Lin Chu too and singled him out.
Lin Chu glanced at him, thought for a moment, and sat down.
After he sat down.
They played a couple of rounds.
Had a couple of drinks.
The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly.
Lin Chu passed around a round of cigarettes, then asked casually, as if it were an afterthought, "Hey, something just occurred to me, Brother Yuan. I wanted to ask you about someone. Have you ever heard of a guy named Lan Yuzheng?"
When Huang Yuan heard this, his eyes flickered. He even put down the glass he was holding.
"Lan who?"
He asked again, pretending he hadn't understood, his drunken eyes looking even more drowsy.
Seeing his reaction, Lin Chu just smiled and waved a hand. "Never mind. Let's keep going. Drink up."
Huang Yuan didn't press the issue. He went back to shaking the dice, laughing loudly. He was a heavy gambler and resumed making bold calls before taking a large swig of his drink.
Lin Chu didn't mention it again.
