Chapter 285 What Do You Think of This? (1/2)

Why did Qin Sheng think so?

If Poly International’s trouble was caused by Cao Da, Qin Sheng had just been implicated in this incident. Considering Cao Da’s high position, it made sense that he might be stabbed in the back. Their enemy would not be a nobody. However, if this was due to him, Qin Sheng would definitely feel hapless. He was no more than a small potato. How could those people cause so much trouble to go against him? In that case, he would of course feel overwhelmed.

Who was the target and how he thought was not important. Now, taking action was a priority.

After Qin Sheng settled everything at Poly International, he left some of the Security Guard Department staff there and asked other people to leave. Tang She stayed with him, waiting for Yang Deng and Brother Luo’s man. They did not wait too long.

Yang Deng, Brother Luo’s man, Qin Sheng, and Tang She left Poly International together. They stopped somewhere on the road and smoked. Then, Yang Deng asked, “Who has the power to deliver such a great strike?”

“If I knew, I wouldn’t waste my time smoking here,” Qin Sheng said with a forced smile.

Everybody felt more or less depressed. Yang Deng laughed and said, “What would you do if you knew? Take your men and kill them all? No, you wouldn’t have to. I guess you might offend some big shot. Find the person and give him something good. Then, everything will be alright.”

“I hope so,” Qin Sheng said while he squinted.

After smoking a cigarette, they went to the municipal public security bureau. This would definitely be a sleepless night.

This big incident had stirred up some waves on lots of people’s minds, just like a single stone could create a ripple all over a lake. Nobody had figured out the truth. They were all asking around for information.

Thanks to all their efforts, most of Poly International’s people had been released by the police at dawn, except for Chang Baji and some managers. A bureau leader told them that they had to report something to the higher-ups. Although he was willing to release them all, he could do nothing until the leader gave him permission.

Qin Sheng asked Tang She and Gu Qingyang to deal with these things and then took Yang Deng and Brother Cai- Luo Ge’s man- to have breakfast. He was almost starving to death. He had barely eaten anything after yesterday’s lunch. His dinner with Lin Su last night had been ruined by the unexpected incident, so he’d only eaten a little.

After breakfast, Qin Sheng told Yang Deng and Brother Cai, “Thank you for your help. Go back to sleep now. I’ll call you if I need you.”

“You should do the same. It’s not a big deal. Nobody was killed, and there’s no fire. The worst outcome would be starting a new business,” Yang Deng said to comfort him.

Qin Sheng nodded at Yang Deng and Brother Cai. After seeing the two of them off, he left for Jiuxi Rose Garden by taxi. He had to report to Cao Da what had happened the previous night and see what Cao Da was going to do next.

Cao Da had also slept late the previous night. However, he did not feel annoyed any more after he had figured out the whole thing. After all, he had experienced a lot of storms over the past decades, so this incident was not a big deal in comparison. He had been calm while doing these things, as he knew that Qin Sheng would settle the rest of the chores.

When Qin Sheng arrived at Jiuxi Rose Garden, Cao Da was still asleep. Considering Cao Da’s age, he naturally was not as energetic as young people any longer. The maidservant asked Qin Sheng to wait in the sitting room.

About half an hour later, Qin Sheng finally met the mansion’s hostess, Second Aunt Mi Na. When she went downstairs and saw Qin Sheng sitting there, she said in confusion, “Qin Sheng? Why are you here? It’s still so early.”

“Good morning, Second Aunt. I have something to talk to Uncle Cao about.” Qin Sheng stood up and answered politely. However, he looked exhausted, as he had been busy the whole night and not gotten any rest.

It was very early. Mi Na had just gotten up and was not fully conscious, so she didn’t think too much. She just laughed and said, “He’s taking a shower. It won’t take too long. You just wait here. I’m going out for shopping.”

Qin Sheng nodded and said, “Okay, Second Aunt. Goodbye.”

Qin Sheng did not wait too long before Cao Da went downstairs. Then, he stood up. However, Cao Da made a gesture and said, “Let’s talk about this outside.”

He then asked the maidservant to make some tea.

When they reached the garden, Cao Da said calmly, “You don’t have to feel bad. It’s not your fault. This is out of your control. I’ve almost figured it out. It’s a vice-chief of the provincial public security bureau who was going to retire. I didn’t know who was behind this, so I asked some leaders of the provincial government and provincial public security bureau to have dinner tonight. You will go with me and try to settle this at dinner. Have you taken care of everything else?”

A starved camel was still bigger than a horse. Although Cao Da was not as powerful as before, he had still accumulated his own human resources during all those years in Hangzhou. Thus, he had figured out almost everything only by making a couple of phone calls. This leader, who was almost retired, had been exploited by somebody. However, he was still puzzled. Who was going against him regardless of this great trouble? There were other easier ways.

“I’ve arranged all the staff vacations. Poly International has closed down indefinitely. Apart from several management employees, everyone else was released last night. Next, we will hear about the punishment decision of the municipal public security bureau.” Qin Sheng reported the truth.

Cao Da squinted and said, “Well done. There might be other trouble soon. However, to me, this is not an end, but a beginning. You should be more careful now, and I’ll observe Lao Zhou as well.”

“Okay, I’ll be careful,” Qin Sheng said with a profound expression.
