Chapter 314 That’ll Be Fine… (2/2)
“There is another way, but we can’t pay the price. So the best choice is for me to leave,” Qin Sheng answered honestly.
Gu Xiaobo couldn’t help asking another question, “What about us, since you’re leaving?”
“Xiaobo…” Chang Baji said in an irritated voice.
But Qin Sheng was not angry. He just smiled and said, “That’s fine, Lao Chang. Xiaobo is honest to say so. Since you followed me to Hangzhou, I should take the responsibility for you. You have two choices regarding my leaving. First, you can stay in Hangzhou. I have mentioned this to Mr. Cao so that you can continue doing your present jobs. Mr. Cao won’t trouble you. But the risk of this choice is that you might become targets of the Qu Family and Yan Family. Second, you can go to other places to avoid the current troubles. When I settle down, I’ll inform you so you can come and follow me as before. What do you think of these options?”
“I’m cool with the second one. It’ll be better to escape from the troubles for a while,” Chang Baji said casually. He had expected the result Qin Sheng would get and also believed that this would be the best choice. This was much better than being beaten to the grave and driven away from Hangzhou.
Hao Lei hesitated for a while and said, “Then I’m going back to Xi’an for some time.”
“I agree with Senior Uncle,” Gu Qingyang said. He didn’t have other ideas about this result. After all, he had learned a lot during his time staying in Hangzhou. And now he needed some time to think about it. It was a good chance for him to go back to Mount Tianmu to cultivate himself.
Gu Xiaobo and Tang She said nothing. Tang She was struggling, for he was different from the others. He just stepped into this core field not long ago, and he just occasionally was involved in this incident. Tang She was not sure if Qin Sheng had recognized and accepted him, so he was hesitating to show his attitude.
“Tang She, you’re different. You were born in Zhejiang Province. If you’re willing, you can then follow me with them. But if not, you can choose to hide from all these troubles for some time then go back,” Qin Sheng said thoughtfully, showing that he had treated Tang She as one of his underlings.
Hearing this, Tang She was firm in saying, “Brother Qin, I’m not a capable person now. I’m really moved since you don’t look down upon me. I trust you. You’ll absolutely become somebody. So I’m following you.”
Qin Sheng was happy about what he said. “Good. You just wait for me. And… don’t worry, everybody. I’ve prepared plenty of money for you to get through this difficult period. You have to take it, or I’d feel upset.”
Qin Sheng pulled out some debit cards from his pocket, each containing 500,000 yuan. He borrowed the money from Lin Su. Although she had been his woman, he would absolutely repay the money one day, for this was for his own business.
Chang Baji didn’t refuse and was the first one to pick up a card. Then others felt it hard to refuse and also took the cards one after another.
Qin Sheng said calmly, “Each card has 500,000 yuan on it. The PIN is 888888. You can spend it as you like. I hope it’ll be enough for you before I settle down there.”
“I don’t want to leave Hangzhou,” Gu Xiaobo, who had not voiced his opinion, said coldly. He had gotten used to this fantastic outside world. It was impossible for him to go back to the distant mountains and forest to lead an ascetic life.
Chang Baji was annoyed by Gu Xiaobo’s attitude. He said irritatedly, “You don’t want to leave? Then I’ll ask our master to take you back.”
Qin Sheng showed a forced smile and said, “It won’t be long.”
Gu Xiaobo heard Chang Baji and didn’t dare to speak anymore. Obviously, he had been totally disappointed by Qin Sheng. He thought that he could gain endless wealth after following Qin Sheng. But now, he was as panicked as a stray dog. He could not bear this.
Chang Baji frowned and said, “Where do intend to go after leaving Hangzhou?”
“Wuhan. I have contacts with the Zhang Family in Hubei and Hunan provinces, where it has a great influence. Hubei and Hunan are far from the Yangtze River Delta, so it’ll be a proper place for me to stay temporarily. The Zhang Family had conflicts with the Qu Family before. So I believe that it’ll help me to get through this.” Qin Sheng hid nothing and answered honestly. This was his exact plan now.
Chang Baji nodded. He never worried about Qin Sheng’s ability to deal with these interpersonal relationship things. After all, Qin Sheng had Old Master Qin behind. So he continued to ask, “When will you leave?”
“At dusk, tomorrow evening,” Qin Sheng answered directly. He didn’t dare to waste time anymore. The longer he stayed, the more danger he would face.
Chang Baji frowned and thought for a while. Then he said seriously, “I’m afraid you are being tracked by those people and they won’t allow you to leave easily. So we will back you up to guarantee that you safely leave Hangzhou tomorrow evening.”
Qin Sheng didn’t refuse, for this was exactly what he worried about. He didn’t expect that Chang Baji would mention this even before he did. Qin Sheng was grateful to say, “That’ll be fine.”
They looked at each other, and both of them knew what the other was worrying about…
