Chapter 352 - Go Ahead (1/2)

It was like Murphy’s law. Qin Sheng hoped he was wrong, but this was exactly what happened.

His father was the unique middle-aged man he had met before in Xiamen. When he met him for the first time, Qin Sheng realized that this man was no small potato. He looked different. He told Qin Sheng that he was from Beijing and was a retired civil servant.

How could Qin Sheng guess that the man was his father?

First, he remembered his father’s photo, taken when he was young, on the wall of the old house. It was kind of similar to the man he had met in Xiamen. His father’s appearance changed with time, but his lineament would not change.

Second, Qin Ran didn’t mention their father after they came back to Beijing. She seemed to be hiding something from him. When they were in the old house, she didn’t tell him about the person in the photo. There had to be something wrong.

Third, Qin Sheng had met Qin Ran for the first time in Xiamen. It was such a coincidence that he also met that middle-aged man in Xiamen.

Three coincidences had to be made by someone deliberately, let alone it had been proved that Qin Ran met him deliberately.

Now, another “coincidence” was proved to be man-made.

Qin Changan went downstairs slowly, looking at Qin Sheng with a smile. Qin Sheng was too astonished to react to what happened. This was as Qin Changan expected. Qin Sheng needed time to accept all the things happening recently.

Qin Changan, however, didn’t go to the side hall directly. At this time, another middle-aged man also went downstairs and said modestly, “Changan, thank you for helping me with this thing. I have no idea what to do next.”

This middle-aged man was a little bit shorter than Qin Changan and had an average figure. He didn’t have the beer belly that other men of his age had. But he was half-bald and with a pale complexion.

Qin Changan patted the man’s shoulder and said, “I’m not sure. You just come back. If I can make it, I’ll call you. If not, don’t blame me, bro.”

“Of course I won’t,” the man said and shook his head. Qin Changan was his final hope. He just wanted to make every possible effort. After all, he was hopeless.

At this moment, the other man also noticed Qin Sheng in the side hall. He realized someone was waiting and said, “Changan, I see that you’re busy. I got to go. See you later.”

“Fine.” Qin Changan nodded then said to Gongsun, who was following behind, “Gongsun, see Lao Liu off for me.”

The man turned back and left soon. His face changed the moment he turned back. Qin Sheng saw how he revealed his murderous look as a superior person.

His two bodyguards followed him to leave, with Gongsun following as well. Qin Changan stood still. He even didn’t intend to show the man out of the hall.

The result was obvious. Qin Changan was not going to get involved in this thing. Adding that this man came without informing him, Qin Changan was quite uncomfortable about this.

Qin Ran went upstairs to fetch something and then came back downstairs. She stood beside Qin Changan and said in a pretend voice to hide her emotions, “Master Qin is really a big shot. Even Uncle Liu has to ask you for help. But I wonder who’s more important to you, your son who had been separated from you for over 20 years, or someone else? You know what day today is. If you don’t like your son, take it easy, I’ll take my younger brother away, and we’ll never disturb your life.”

Qin Ran was very angry when she spoke. She didn’t show any respect to her father, for she thought that Qin Changan had done the wrong thing. She had informed him of Qin Sheng’s arrival last night. Qin Changan had enough time to refuse any arrangements before they arrived at the siheyuan. But how could he spend his time on others and disregard Qin Sheng?
