Chapter 89 Ask Around For Information... (2/2)

Qin Sheng was not going to let the matter rest until he had taken revenge, otherwise, he could not call himself a man.

”Du Jiang?” Xue Qingyan snorted and continued, ”You don't need to worry about Du Jiang, his entire is finished from now on.”

”What happened?” asked Qin Sheng with a frown on his face, looking puzzled.

”Last night after you were sent to the hospital, he was being arrested by the Nanjing police, together with his henchmen and the thugs who tried to attack us last night. He would be facing charges and most likely be put to jail for the rest of his life,” Xue Qingyan said, gnashing her teeth. She was partly responsible for underestimating Du Jiang. She had not experienced such things in the past even in cases where business negotiations failed.

”Oh, alright,” Qin Sheng nodded his head thoughtfully. He knew Xue Qingyan had managed to settle everything and this allowed Qin Sheng a glimpse of Xue Qingyan's power and influence.

At 7 a.m., Yu Kefei had come to see Qin Sheng together with his fiancee. When he arrived and saw that Qin Sheng was awake, the two were overjoyed and thankful that the accident was not so bad. Xue Qingyan, on the other hand, stole some sleep back on the sofa outside the room, given that she had a turbulent nights' sleep and she was exhausted by this time. Qin Sheng told Xue Qingyan to go back to the hotel, wash up and sleep for a while. Although Xue Qingyan was unwilling to leave, after much coaxing, she finally obliged.

As Liu Ye saw Xue Qingyan out on behalf of Qin Sheng, Yu Kefei stared at Qing Sheng and said, ”Didn't I warn you not to offend Du Jiang? Look at you now, lying at the hospital because you refused to take my advice.”

”I knew you were going to say such words. I did this to protect my Big Sister. If not for her, I would have easily killed all of them,” said Qin Sheng matter-of-factly.

With a helpless expression, Yu Kefei said, ”Stop forcing yourself beyond what you can do. It is wise to be cautious in whatever you do. Your life is more precious than anything else.”

”What you're saying is not entirely right,” Qin Sheng responded casually. He knew Yu Kefei was concerned about him so he did not argue further.

Squinting his eyes, Yu Kefei continued, ”Boss, what is the background of this big sister of yours? She seemed to be very powerful. Within just one night, she was able to get the city bureau to arrest Du Jiang by merely making some calls. I heard that it was a direct order from the provincial council, so he did not even have an opportunity to resist. If the investigation on him continued, all the mess within his company would be exposed and he would be doomed.”

”I'm not sure too, I've never really asked. All I know about her was information I gathered from other people,” Qin Sheng said thoughtfully. He knew that he should never underestimate authority and power. If a commoner were to leave a foothold for these powerful people to work on, he would die a tragic death. Du Jiang, who used to dabble in illegal dealings would require an even more powerful backing in order to escape this fate now.

”I suppose you did not tell second and third brother about this matter?” Qin Sheng said, suddenly remembering.

Yu Kefei shook his head and said, ”I wouldn't dare to do that. If I were to tell them about this, they would kill me! If they knew something bad happened to you while you are here in my territory, I'm dead meat!”

”That's good, don't tell others about this incident,” said Qin Sheng, nodding his head.

Qin Sheng continued to stay in the hospital in the two days that followed. Although Xue Qingyan had expressed her desire to accompany him in the hospital, Qin Sheng chased her away. Because there were so many things for Xue Qingyan to handle in the company, she had no other choice but to go back to Shanghai first, however, she made sure someone visited Qin Sheng at the hospital every day. Sometimes, Qin Sheng did not even know the people visiting him, but he knew that they were obliged to do so on Xue Qingyan or her powerful backings. Qin Sheng had to at least entertain them with a smiley face. They were here out of kindness after all. Fortunately, they were usually here to deliver flowers and fruits and did not stay long.

On the other hand, Yu Kefei and Liu Ye would visit every day, and Liu Le would always cook all three meals for Qin Sheng. Yu Kefei commented that the food prepared by the hospital was not as good. What Qing Sheng needed was more nutritious meals to help him recuperate faster. In fact, the dishes prepared by the hospital were better than what many restaurants offer, but Qin Sheng really appreciated their sincerity and kindness.

The beautiful lady, Liu Ye did not mind the trouble of coming to chat with Qin Sheng every day. On top of that, Liu Ye always had some of her girlfriends to tag along with her. She apparently was trying to see if Qin Sheng fancied any of her girlfriends and she could become their matchmaker. However, her kind gesture only made Qin Sheng uncomfortable. As for Liu Yu, Qing Sheng was certain that Yu Kefei had found a good wife. He would surely not let Yu Kefei off if he was unkind to his good wife.

Having stayed in Nanjing for an extended period of time, Qin Sheng had to inform Hao Lei and Chang Baji through the phone of what happened to him in Nanjing and how he ended up in the hospital. He assured them that he would return to Shanghai in a day or two, once his condition stabilized. Both Chang Baji and Hao Lei had wanted to rush over to Nanjing, only to be told not to do so, since everything had been settled.

Next, Qin Sheng had to inform Han Bing of what happened to him. Since the day Qin Sheng left Shanghai for Nanjing, Han Bing had been calling or sending Wechat messages to him from time to time. In fact, Qin Sheng was rather confused with regards his feelings towards Han Bing. However, one thing he was certain after Han Guoping passed away was that he would to always take care of Han Bing. For this reason, he had told Han Bing that he still had some matters to attend to so he needed to stay in Nanjing for a while more before returning to Shanghai. Fortunately, Han Bing was not suspicious at all and just told Qin Sheng to be careful.

Lastly, Qin Sheng had not informed Jiang Xianbang of what happened. He had planned to tell him when he got back to Shanghai and ask him about Xue Qingyan's background. He thought this would prepare him mentally for his dealings with Xue Qingyan in future.

While the story he told Xu Lancheng was that he had not finished his business in Nanjing and would need to take a few more days of leave from work. Xu Lancheng approved his leave immediately without further questions and reminded Qin Sheng to be careful. When he finally informed Ms. An about his extended leave and had to endure her complaints and naggings.

As for Su Qin, they had not contacted each other since the day they parted ways after meeting up at the bar YOUNG.

Qin Sheng stayed at the hospital for a total of a week before he was discharged. Yu Kefei and Liu Ye came to pick him and held a small celebration for his discharge from the hospital. Early the next day, Qin Sheng rushed back to Shanghai.
