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

At 8 o’clock in the evening, the door was pushed open from the outside. Qin Sheng opened his eyes and saw an acquaintance in front of him. It turned out to be Fang Jianping, who was in the same system as Qin Sheng. He walked in slowly. This was the first time that Qin Sheng had seen Fang Jianping dressed in a police uniform, who looked pretty ruthless and more imposing. He looked completely different from what he had been previously.

Fang Jianping said to the policeman behind him, “Take off his handcuffs.”

The policeman glimpsed at the Deputy Director, who scolded him instantly and said, “Why are you looking at me? Remove the handcuffs immediately. Could he run out of here?”

The Deputy Director knew Fang Jianping quite well. As a youth who had been trained for several years in the municipal public security bureau, he was in the provincial public security bureau in stages and went upward according to his family’s plans. In this case, he might be the leader of the Public Security System of Zhejiang Province. Consequently, the Deputy Director thought he definitely could not offend that kind of person. Moreover, he needed to ride Fang Jianping’s coattails in advance. The later he did so, the smaller the reward would be.

Upon hearing the Deputy Director’s order, the police removed the handcuffs for Qin Sheng in a hurry.

The Deputy Director said politely, “Jian Ping, in this case, you two speak with each other first. I will be waiting for you in my office. We should drink tea later. If you need any help, feel free to tell them.”

Fang Jianping smiled happily as he said, “All right. You attend to your business first.”

After the Deputy Director left along with his underling, only Qin Sheng and Fang Jianping remained in the room. The atmosphere was somewhat embarrassing. After all, nobody would like to be a prisoner.

Sitting across from Qin Sheng, Fang Jianping said half-jokingly, “It did not occur to me that I would meet you under such a circumstance. To be frank, you are quite good at making trouble.”

Qin Sheng smiled bitterly and said, “I made a joke of myself.”

Fang Jianping felt somewhat puzzled and said, “If Qing Yan had not called me, I would not have known that you had made such a big scene today. The grandfather of Qu Huanxi is not an ordinary one in Zhejiang Province, let alone the Yan family in Shanghai. How could you fight with them? Obviously, you are bringing about your own destruction.” After that, he took some cigarettes out of his pocket, handed one to Qin Sheng, and took the initiative to light it up for him. At this time, smoking cigarettes was the most comfortable thing.

Qin Sheng said thanks to Fang Jianping, took a hard draw on the cigarette, and exhaled smoke relaxedly as he said, “Brother Fang, on my side, I didn’t intend to fight with them since I am not that stupid. However, they just wouldn’t spare me and intended to drive me to a dead end. In this case, what could I do? So many things happened between me and Yan Chaozong, and he had been following me all the way from Shanghai to Hangzhou. He just wouldn’t let me go. However, I admitted defeat, intending to bend my knees to make an apology to him. After all, as the saying goes, a great man knows when to yield and when to not. However, he asked me to bend my knees to apologize to him in front of so many people. I am afraid that I can’t do so. Even if I could, could I continue to gain a foothold in Hangzhou?”

Before, Qin Sheng had treated Fang Jianping the same way that he treated the group of people including Cao Da. While facing him, Qin Sheng had always swallowed his pride. However, he treated Fang Jianping as his peer today.

Feeling somewhat surprised, Fang Jianping smiled bitterly as he said, “I can’t do that. Plus, I think that I didn’t run into that kind of situation before, and never will I. After all, you and I are different. I say so out of honesty instead of superiority. Consequently, I am afraid that I might not be able to relate to your feelings.”

Qin Sheng smiled happily and said, “Thanks for understanding.” After that, he continued smoking.

Fang Jianping let out a sigh and said, “I did not understand why Qing Yan took you so seriously before. I figured it out now finally. You are somewhat capable. Unfortunately, you are somewhat unlucky.”

Qin Sheng let out a sigh as he said, “Ever since my childhood, I had been living a difficult life as an orphan. I might have used up all the luck in my previous life.” His grandfather was deceased. Uncle Lin had been in trouble. After he had arrived in Shanghai, whoever he had followed had ended up miserably. Qin Sheng wondered if he had broken a taboo before.

Fang Jianping felt somewhat surprised. He smiled happily after coming to his senses, then said, “You are still young. There is a long way ahead of you. Don’t belittle you to such an extent. If you get the courage in your heart, you can survive.”

Upon hearing what Fang Jianping had said, Qin Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

Fang Jianping stood up while saying, “All right. I won’t speak further with you. I need to go. I just came here to check on you so Qing Yan wouldn’t feel concerned for you. However, you probably have to stay here tonight and will get out tomorrow morning. Qing Yan turned to so many people because of you. I will also help you. However, the way I see it, you should think about how you are going to face both the Qu family and the Yan family after getting out of here.”

Qin Sheng was silent. Following that, he stood up and saw Fang Jianping off. This time, he owed another favor to both Xue Qingyan and Fang Jianping.

As Fang Jianping had said, even if he got out of here safe and sound in the end, he still needed to face that group of people. Even though he and Xue Qingyan could help him once, they could not help him all the time.

In this case, how should he face his enemies?

In the evening, when Xue Qingyan just arrived in Hangzhou in a rush, both the Qu family and the Yan family were discussing how to solve this issue. The Old Monk of the Qu family, who had not planned to get involved in this issue originally, changed his attitude all of a sudden after getting a piece of news. Qu Huanxi had played against Qin Sheng by making mischief previously. Now, the Old Monk intended to deal with Qin Sheng on his own.

As for the Yan family, Old Master Yan taught Yan Chaozong a lesson by himself, showing him how to get things done swiftly and ruthlessly and how to maximize benefits…
