Chapter 327 - I Can Only Go There (1/2)
Initially, this was supposed to be a three-party encirclement and suppression for Qin Sheng. The original plan could be counted as perfect. Firstly, to stop Third Master Wu from causing trouble, the Yan Family had agreed to cooperate with him and taken advantage of people on his side to get rid of Qin Sheng. Secondly, they had taken their overwhelming advantage to force Qin Sheng to leave Hangzhou since it would be easier and more convenient for them to deal with him. Thirdly, Third Master Wu had sent Chu Sikong out to pin down Chang Baji, who was the biggest threat on Qin Sheng’s side. Lastly, Hu Lan had lured Gu Xiaobo by the promise of profit and convinced him to betray Qin Sheng, turning him to their most important pawn.
In the end, they had set up a trap in Huang Mei Town and intended to rely on their overwhelming advantage to annihilate Qin Sheng completely. Unfortunately, they had failed due to Zhuang Zhou and Nan Gong’s presence. The situation, which had taken place in Mount Jiuhua, did not occur again.
At this moment, Qin Sheng had entirely disappeared into the dim light of the night. The bodies of the two men, who had been chasing after Qin Sheng, lay there rigidly. Feng He felt somewhat frightened and concerned. If he could not locate Qin Sheng, he would be severely punished after returning to the Yan Family. It was because he knew it was the Second Uncle, who had stipulated the plan this time on his own. Unlike the Young Master, who was quite approachable, as the Yan Family’s current man in charge, the Second Uncle would definitely be just and stern to him at that time.
However, Gu Xiaobo was more scared and nervous than Feng He. If Qin Sheng had really gotten away successfully, he would take revenge against him in the future. Even if Qin Sheng would not take revenge, as long as he informed Senior Uncle Chang about his betrayal, the group of people in his master’s sect would tear this place apart until they found him. After that, they would mercilessly kill him.
Thus, he must find Qin Sheng.
Fearing that Feng He would give up on finding Qin Sheng, Gu Xiaobo tried to persuade him in a hurry. “Brother Qin, we can’t let him run away. Perhaps he is just behind us. We should continue chasing after him.”
Of course, Feng He was aware of Gu Xiaobo’s thoughts quite well. Though they had different concerns, the fact that whether Qin Sheng was dead or alive mattered to them. Hence, Feng He did not hesitate at all. He ordered hurriedly, “You stay here, watch over the situation and get rid of the bodies. Gu Xiaobo, you and I will continue chasing Qin Sheng. Let’s kill anybody who dares to resist.”
Gu Xiaobo replied, “OK.” The look in his eyes was malicious.
They left right away, only the master was left behind to clear up the mess. After all, there were three bodies in the forest. Once the bodies were found the next day, they would be in big trouble.
Chang Baji had left the tree-lined track. It was not until Chang Baji had left that Chu Sikong bent over and coughed several times. In the end, he spat out the extravasated blood in his chest. Obviously, Chu Sikong had not gained the upper hand in the earlier fierce battle. The reason he had gotten the advantage over Chang Baji was that Chang Baji had been distracted.
At this moment, two men, who had been following Chu Sikong, ran in a hurry and asked, “Mr. Chu, are you alright?”
Chu Sikong shook his hands. After that, he stood up and he said, “I am fine. You don’t need to worry about me. Call the people on the other side and inquire about the situation there.”
His underling frowned. “Then, we are not going to kill this man, right?”
Chu Sikong snorted as he replied, “You know nothing at all.”
His underling immediately swallowed his words. Then, he called and inquired about the situation on the other side. Chu Sikong was lost in thoughts. He knew the issue between him and Chang Baji would not come to an end in such a manner. They would meet each other again. When they met each other the next time, what would the result be?
After Chang Baji left, he called Qin Sheng, Gu Qingyang, and Gu Xiaobo immediately. Unfortunately, their mobiles were all unusable due to the water damage. Consequently, Chang Baji could not get in touch with anyone of them at all.
After Chang Baji rushed to the riverside, he found out that though Qin Sheng had parked the car there, nobody was present. Chang Baji realized that something had gone seriously wrong. He looked around carefully but could not find anyone.
Could it be that Qin Sheng’s group had met danger?
Chang Baji felt somewhat scared. Anyway, he needed to find a way to locate them. Despite that he had suffered serious injuries, he had no choice but to continue looking for Qin Sheng’s group’s traces.
At this moment, Qin Sheng had successfully escaped. After all, Gu Qingyang had earned time for him in exchange for his life. Zhuang Zhou and Nan Gong had helped him get rid of his biggest obstacle. Based on Qin Sheng’s capability, if he had been unable to get away, he would have been doomed to die there.
After Nan Gong and Zhuang Zhou had been done with their battles, they had been chasing after Qin Sheng for ten whole minutes. However, they had still to find Qin Sheng’s trace. Their current location was not as desolate as that in the forest. The villages, streets, and so on, could be seen from here. As a result, Zhuang Zhou and Nan Gong stopped and started to discuss their options.
After pondering for a while, Zhuang Zhou made a decision. “We can leave this place. He should be safe now.”
The look on Nan Gong’s face was somewhat ghastly. After all, it was early winter, and she was soaked to the bone, feeling pretty cold. However, she was more concerned about Qin Sheng’s safety. Thus, she asked, “So, should we stop chasing after him? What if he meets an accident?”
Zhuang Zhou shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, “I do intend to go on chasing after him. The question is in which direction we should go. It is extremely difficult for us to find him now. As I said, if he escapes successfully this time, he will use his other identity. If so, we will know his whereabouts at that time.” In today’s society, without IDs, one simply could not move a single step at all. Consequently, instead of using his real name, Qin Sheng would definitely use his former identity in Xiamen. Only in this way could he escape safely.
