Chapter 107 Receiving Some News (1/2)
The feud between the Zhang and Song families was beyond the reach of Qin Sheng and did not concern him. It was a coincidence that he got the piece of jade. He did not expect that it caused him fatal trouble. The two families had been chasing after him for two years. Even when Qin Sheng returned to Xi'an, the Song family still sent people to go after him.
In fact, the piece of ancient jade was completely meaningless to Qin Sheng. The biggest meaning might be to make money by selling it. However, even if he was able to sell it, he might not have an opportunity to spend the money. Qin Sheng could have handed the jade to them, but he was young and arrogant; he was irritated after going through moments of life and death, so he thought, ”You want it, but I won't satisfy you.”
Now things were different. Qin Sheng returned to Shanghai and began to strive for his life goal. However, the Zhang and Song families would find him sooner or later. At that time, they would disturb his peaceful life. Hence, he decided to take advantage of this matter to fix it, handing over the troublesome thing and also doing them a favor at little cost. Qin Sheng had a trump card. Once his task was done, he would tell not only the Zhang family but also the Song family where the ancient jade was. After all, Miss Song was considered his fiancee. He had feelings for her, so he would not let the Zhang family monopolize it.
Now Zhang Zibang and his sister left. Qin Sheng had to deal with the traitor. What he said almost scared the pants off Bi Yong, who immediately asked for mercy, ”Mr. Qin, I was wrong. I was really wrong. Please spare my life, Mr. Qin. I have a family to support.”
”When you betrayed us, why didn't you say this?” Zhao Song snorted. He always despised the men who had no morale and ignored brotherhood.
Hong Tao also wore a disdainful look. Although they're relatives, he would not help Bi Yong beg for mercy at this moment.
Qin Sheng walked toward Bi Yong and said with interest, ”Would you give me a reason not to kill you?”
”Mr. Qin, as long as you don't kill me, I'll be your servant and do whatever you want me to do without hesitation.” Bi Yong immediately knelt down before Qin Sheng. A man in his forties fell into an awkward position, which was really funny.
Qin Sheng sighed, ”Alas, but you have betrayed us once. How can I believe you?”
”Mr. Qin, I beg you. I beg you. Spare my life. I really don't want to die.” Bi Yong continued to beg for mercy.
Zhao Song and Hong Tao pulled up Bi Yong and said to Qin Sheng, ”Mr. Qin, don't talk nonsense with him. There's no need to pity this guy even if he died.”
In fact, Qin Sheng did not intend to kill Bi Yong. He was playing tricks on him. If he had really wanted to kill Bi Yong, he would not have chatted with him. Hence, he waved his hand and said, ”Forget it, considering your sincerity, I'll spare your life. When we find Brother Hong, I'll ask him to deal with you.”
Hearing this, Bi Yong felt relieved. He immediately kowtowed as he said, ”Thank you, Mr. Qin. Thank you, Mr. Qin.”
Leaving Meijiawu meant that Qin Sheng and his people completely evacuated this stronghold. Under the suggestion of Zhao Song and others, they came to a stronghold by the Xixi National Wetland Park. It was an ordinary residential complex. Qin Sheng sent Zhao Song, Hong Tao, Bi Yong to help Zhang Zibang search for Brother Hong. Time passed by; things seemed more unpredictable.
Qin Sheng had been living in the complex. One day, he finally had leisure time to roam in the Xixi National Wetland Park alone. When he planned to visit the Xixi National Wetland Park by boat, he received a call from Ms. Cheongsam Xue Qingyan, who said with a smile, ”I heard that you're suspended for a week?”
”It's really that bad news has wings. Sister, you've got the news,” Qin Sheng sighed.
Xue Qingyan had been busy since she returned from Nanjing. She had not met Qin Sheng since they hurriedly exchanged goodbyes in Shangshan Ruoshui. Qin Sheng originally needed to tutor Xue Hao on the weekend, but Xue Hao's grandmother was sick and his mother brought Xue Hao to the hospital to visit his grandmother. Hence, Qin Sheng did not go to Xue Qingyan's house.
”It's a small thing. Don't be upset. If you're not happy in Shangshan Ruoshui, you can come to my company.” Xue Qingyan comforted Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng replied tactfully, ”You treat me well, my sister.”
”Being suspended, you must have time in the evening. I'll go back to Shanghai this afternoon and treat you to a big meal tonight,” Xue Qingyan said casually.
Qin Sheng responded awkwardly. ”Sister, I really want to have a big meal, but I have to wait a few more days, for I'm in Hangzhou.”
Hearing this, Xue Qingyan, who was drinking coffee with her friends by the West Lake, asked with surprise and joy, ”Hangzhou? Where are you in Hangzhou?”
Qin Sheng naturally did not know that Xue Qingyan was in Hangzhou, so he replied, ”I'm available now and strolling in the Xixi National Wetland Park.”
”Wait for me. I'll come over soon,” Xue Qingyan said bluntly before she hung up the phone.
