Chapter 105 Shall We Have A Cha (1/2)

On the way, Qin Sheng stopped asking any more questions even though he had a feeling that something was amiss. Bi Yong was no longer of any value to him, so he instructed Zhao Song called Hong Tao to tell him to rush to Meijiawu. They were no longer suspecting Hong Tao by this moment.
Once they arrived at Meijiawu, Zhao Song immediately tied Bi Yong to the pillar in the hall and Qin Sheng started making new plans for this matter. Initially, they thought they would be able to locate Brother Hong by getting hold of Bi Yong, so they could have a closure on this matter. However, it looked like things were not so simple after all.
Qin Sheng went into deep thoughts and Zhao Song did not intend to interrupt him, but stood outside the door quietly and waited for Hong Tao to return. When Hong Tao finally arrived half an hour later, he could not wait but ran into the hall and immediately spotted Bi Yong, who was tied to the pillar. Puzzled, he asked, ”What does this mean, Mr. Qin?”
”Ask him yourself,” said Qin Sheng coldly.
Bi Yong instantly broke into tears in confession, saying, ”Brother Tao, it's my fault, it's all my fault. I'm sorry that I've betrayed you all.”
Both Bi Yong and Hong Tao were related to Brother Hong, therefore they had known each other since a long ago and so they were really familiar with each other. However, he would never have imagined that Bi Yong would become a traitor. This made him so furious that he grabbed on to Bi Yong's shirt collars straight away and bellowed, ”Damn it, so you betrayed us! Were you the one who betrayed my brother? Tell me where my brother is right now, otherwise, I'll kill you!”
Qin Sheng signaled for Zhao Song to separate Hong Tao from Bi Yong and tried to explain to Zhao Song, saying, ”He doesn't know where Brother Hong is. They are not in the same gang.”
Zhao Song then continued to explain the causes and effects of the entire matter. It was only then that Hong Tao, to his astonishment, understood that there were more than a gang of people who had their eyes on them. Who had leaked the information of their whereabouts last night?
Qin Sheng sensed that there was some misunderstanding, asked, ”I've got a question to ask.”
Zhao Song and the rest set their eyes upon Qin Sheng as he slowly said, ”I had arrived at Hangzhou only last night. Did Brother Zhao inform you about the time I was going to arrive?”
This question was obviously directed to Bi Yong and Hong Tao.
Bi Yong and Hong Tao looked at each other, shaking their heads, and said, ”No he didn't. He did subsequently called us to say that Mr. Qin was arriving at Hangzhou last night, and that we should prepare some food and drink for you.”
Qin Sheng squinted, nodded thoughtfully and asked, ”What happened after I escaped last night? What happened to Brother Zhao in the end?”
Up to this point, three out our four people here, apart from Zhao Quan, were present at the scene, and Qin Sheng asked the questions because he could not be sure if Zhao Quan was alive or dead.
”When you left, Zhao Song ran after you and the three of us were the only ones left in the garden. Brother Zhao seemed to be badly hurt because he was lying on the floor when we escaped,” Hong Tao sighed and said, ”He may have died.”
The more Qin Sheng thought about it, the more he could not understand the logic behind this. If there was another traitor who betrayed Brother Zhao, how could he be dead? Even if Brother did not die, they only needed to coordinate between the people outside and inside and he would surrender himself to them. If Brother Zhao betrayed Jiang Xianbang, there's a possibility that his nephew, Zhao Song, could have done it too. However, Zhao Song had been in control of his phone all the while from last night and there was no news from him.
It looked that this problem could not be solved by himself. Qin Sheng suddenly remembered the two people whom he was very close to, who used to share all good things together. Even enemies could become friends, what more old friends who had only had a small conflict?
”Bi Yong, do you have a way to contact the Zhang siblings?” Qin Sheng asked, sounding excited.
Qin Yong's expression changed drastically and he said ”Mr. Qin, how did you get to know about them?”
Qin Sheng could not be bothered to explain further, but only instructed them saying, ”Don't need to probe further, just give them a call to say that an old friend would like to meet them and he would not only offer what they wanted but also the jade heirloom the two families of Zhang and Song were disputing about.”
Zhao Song took out Bi Yong's mobile phone and untied him, signaled for him to quickly make the call. Although Bi Yong did not totally grasp the situation, he still dialed the number of his boss, the mastermind behind this.
The called went through in a few seconds. ”Manager Zhang, this is Bi Yong. I needed to report something to you,” said Bi Yong respectfully.
In the restaurant called Zhiweiguan by Westlake, the Zhang siblings were having a meal with a family friend's family. This family friend was a resourceful person in Hangzhou. The sibling had wanted him to help find the information they needed.
Zhang Zibang, was wearing a black leather jacket and a fashionable hairstyle was talking on the phone as he got up from his seat and exited from the room. With squinting eyes, he said, ”Say what you need to say quickly. I'm very busy!”
”Manager Zhang, there's an old friend of yours who would like to meet you. He said if you cooperate with him, not only will you be given you've always wanted, in addition, you will also be able to lay hold of that jade heirloom which the Zhang and Song families were disputing over,” Bi Yong regurgitated what Qin Sheng had instructed him to say.
As expected, Zhang Zibang's expression changed immediately when he heard those words. He frowned and said, ”What's his name? Where is he now?”
”He says you would know when you come. He's right next to me now. Do you want to meet him?” Bi Yong continued.
Zhang Zibang hesitated for a second, gritted his teeth and said, ”Where are you now? I'm coming over right now.”
”I'm at Meijiawu, where you just visited earlier today,” Bi Yong said matter-of-factly. However, right after Bi Yong finished the sentence, Zhao Song snatched his phone over so he could not continue with the conversation.
Zhang Zibang, who was by West Lake was about to inquire further when the line went dead. He had no idea who this old time friend was, who was able to help he lay hold of the item he wanted, as well as knew all about the jade heirloom disputed among the Zhang and Song family.
