Chapter 308 How Should He Face His Enemies? (1/2)

The farce came to an end. Consequently, the on-lookers dispersed. As the saying goes, the insiders know the ropes, while the outsiders just came along for the ride, and the smart ones know that the game just started. After all, not everyone could survive the rage and fury of the Qu family and Yan family.

Yan Chaozong was called back to Shanghai. Qu Huanxi got reprimanded. After that, he behaved himself. Yang Deng was confined. All of them were safe and sound. However, as for Qin Sheng and his poor brothers, they had a hard time in the bureau.

The weak would always be the prey to the strong in this society. As what had been depicted in the Journey to the West, the devils who had connections were all taken away, while those who did not have any connections were all beaten to death.

Lin Su arrived at Jiuxi Rose Garden hurriedly. Cao Da was making calls in the living room. Mi Na was by his side, who did not know what had gone wrong. Most of the time, she would not concern herself with these issues unless Cao Da had taken the initiative to order her to do so. As for most of the important issues in the Cao family, Cao Da and Ji Jing would discuss them. All she needed to do was to be a quiet canary.

Mi Na saw Lin Su enter the house and asked surprisingly, “Lin Su, why are you here?”

After greeting Mi Na, Lin Su stared at Cao Da, who was making calls frowningly, as she said, “I am here to visit Uncle Cao.”

Mi Na greeted Lin Su and asked her to sit down first. The look on Lin Su’s face was somewhat ghastly. Consequently, Mi Na knew that Qin Sheng must have met with some mishap. After all, she had gotten some information from Cao Da’s calls.

Mi Na poured a cup of tea for Lin Su. After that, she also prepared some fruits and snacks for her without raising any questions. They sat there waiting, watching to see when Cao Da would finish his calls.

Soon after, Cao Da finished making calls and went back to the living room. Lin Su asked hurriedly, “Uncle Cao, how is it?”

Cao Da let out a sigh, sat down, and shook his head as he said, “Both the Qu family and the Yan family had put pressure on the related parties. Consequently, nobody is willing to offend them for Qin Sheng’s sake. I am trying to find another way out.”

Upon hearing what Cao Da had said, Lin Su felt so wretched and helpless. Though she had expected that both the Qu family and Yan family would be tough, it did not occur to her that even Cao Da could do nothing at all.

Following that, Cao Da said, “But don’t worry, Qin Sheng won’t be in danger while staying in jail. Nor will he suffer from any hardships. I have notified my connections there.” Currently, this was the only thing Cao Da could do. As for what had happened this time, Cao Da had pried into it and found out that the issue this time was serious. It had not occurred to him that Qin Sheng would do such a thing.

Lin Su came to her senses, smiled bitterly, and said, “Uncle Cao, thanks for your effort.”

When Qin Sheng had told Cao Da about what had happened between him and Lin Su, Cao Da already knew Lin Su’s background. After all, there was no other Lin family in the whole Ningbo area. At this time, since the Lin family in Ningbo was more powerful than him, they probably could help Qin Sheng out. As a result, Cao Da asked thoughtfully, “Lin Su, I know you come from the Lin family in Ningbo. Since Qin Sheng is in such big trouble this time, maybe your family can help him.”

Upon learning that Cao Da knew her identity, Lin Su felt no surprise at all. Even so, it did not change anything. If it were not for the Lin family, Qin Sheng would not have been in such a crisis. It was the Lin family who had harmed Qin Sheng to such an extent. However, the Lin family avoided Qin Sheng completely after he was in trouble, which made Lin Su feel so guilty while facing Qin Sheng. She knew that Qin Sheng had done everything for her sake.

This Lin family really disappointed her…

Since Lin Su was not willing to talk about anything related to her family, she explained to Cao Da in a few words as she said, “Uncle Cao, if my family could help Qin Sheng, I would not be here to visit you. I can’t easily explain what happened between us and my family in words. If it were not for my family, the issue today would not have taken place.”

Cao Da nodded quietly and said, “I get your point.”

If he could not get Lin Su’s point, it would mean that he had been hanging around for so many years in vain. The Lin family was a famous family in Zhejiang Province, while Lin Su was the most outstanding descendant of the Lin family. As for Qin Sheng, well, to most of the people, he was nobody but a white-collar guy from a working-class background who started from scratch. No grand family would choose Qin Sheng over Yan Chaozong.

However, upon hearing what Lin Su had said and seen what Lin Su had done, Cao Da was greatly impressed by her and her insight because only Lin Su saw Qin Sheng’s potential. As for Cao Da himself, if he had not known about Qin Sheng’s background, he would not have provided such a platform to Qin Sheng and paved the way ahead for him.

As a result, Cao Da wanted to say to Lin Su: “Lin Su, since you have given out everything today, you will be greatly rewarded thousands of times over soon. At that time, everybody would understand that you had made such a wise choice.”

However, he could not do so now…

Cao Da gritted his teeth as he said, “In this case, I will try other ways.” He was dying to make a call to Zhuang Zhou and ask him whether Qin Changan in Sijiu City knew about this issue or not since his son was in big trouble. However, he was not qualified to speak to Qin Changan. Consequently, he held himself back.

Lin Su stayed at Jiuxi Rose Garden the whole afternoon. Cao Da made calls continuously and took in different news from various channels. After that, he discussed measures with Lin Su. Currently, he got the news from his connection in the municipal public security bureau that Qin Sheng and his brothers were not allowed to get out on bail or be visited because the Yan family and the Qu family were about to take legal action against them. In this case, Qin Sheng and his brothers were in a somewhat difficult situation.

Speaking of what had happened this time, the bureau could deal with it either seriously or leniently. If they dealt with it seriously, Qin Sheng and his brothers might be accused of initiating a gang war and considered as gangsters. However, they would not do so since Qu Huanxi and Yan Chaozong also were involved. If the management personnel did not look into the issue and the Qu family and the Yan family did not say more than necessary, the bureau would deal with it leniently and judge it to be an ordinary civil conflict. To be frank, at this time, the ones who were more powerful and influential would have a say. At a moment like this, power meant real strength.

In the sub-bureau, which ruled the Yuerong Manor in Xixi, Qin Sheng and the group of people, including Chang Baji, were confined separately. Ever since Qin Sheng had finished the interrogation statement, he had been sitting dumbfoundedly without saying anything. Since what had been done was done, he needed to prepare his route of retreat. If so, what would be his route of retreat?
