Chapter 353 - Qin Changan Didnt Give a Damn about It (2/2)

Upon hearing Qin Changan’s answer, Qin Sheng felt somewhat at ease in secret as he asked, “Then, Zhuang Zhou must be your connection. How are you two connected?” He did not doubt what Qin Changan had said at all. After all, he had known Han Guoping during the two years when he had been traveling around. As for Jiang Xianbang, he had known him since his childhood, who was his grandfather’s connection. If they had been Qin Changan’s connections, it would not have taken Qin Changan so long a time to find him. However, it turned out they were not Qin Changan’s connections. As for Zhuang Zhou, undoubtedly, he had to be Qin Changan’s connection. After all, he was outside right now.

Qin Changan had known that Qin Sheng definitely would ask a question like this, consequently, he was not surprised at all. So, he said in a low voice, “As for the relationship between Laozhuang and me, we could be counted as friends as well brothers to each other. However, it was your father who formed such a good affinity. In Laozhuang’s opinion, he always thinks he owes our family a thumping favor. As a result, in the past few years, he has been helping me with a lot of things, which makes me feel indebted to him.”

It did not occur to Qin Sheng that the relationship between Uncle Zhuang and the Qin Family would be so complicated. Even so, he did not want to think of these issues right now. Instead, he continued asking, “I want to know who else your connections are.”

This question was somewhat naive. The matters that had taken place in recent days had already disrupted Qin Sheng’s basic capability of judgment, making him start to deny a lot of things that had happened previously. He was still too psychologically weak and not strong enough.

Qin Chang chuckled as he replied, “As for your connections in both Shanghai and Xiamen, none of them are my connections. As for the ones in Hangzhou, Cao Da could be counted as my connection. After all, he was referred to you by Zhuang Zhou. Besides him, who else is my connection? Old Master Liu could be counted as one. Since he was pretty close to the Chen Family, who also knew something about the Old Master, the Chen Family had sent somebody over to inquire about your issue. In order not to leak out the secret, I went to Hangzhou in person and made him hold his tongue. Otherwise, the way you see it, what was the reason why the price of his paintings could be driven that high in the art market recently?” The way he spoke was casual, which was especially so when he spoke about the issue related to Old Master Liu. It seemed that all of these issues were negligible to him.

As Qin Chang went on talking, the look on Qin Sheng’s face became more and more ghastly because the truth was exactly as he had expected. It was true that he had been living in a world that Qin Changan had set up in advance for him, making him look exactly like the leading male actor in The Truman Show.

However, he still restrained his impulse and did not get angry directly because he had more questions to ask. As a result, he went on asking, “Since you know so much about me, could it be that you know everything that happened to me? Had you been sending people to watch over me in secret all the time? Otherwise, dating back to when I was on Mount Jiuhua, why did Uncle Zhuang save me again at the critical moment?”

Qin Changan knew that the critical moment of the first formal conversation between him and his son finally came. However, he did not want to keep anything from Qin Sheng despite that Qin Sheng might hate him, who might probably believe that Qin Changan had acted according to his own free will because of his wealth and influence. Even so, he still wanted to tell Qin Sheng that at most times, one could do whatever one wanted if one was rich and powerful, which was especially true for most of the ordinary people. That was the cruel reality.

Qin Chang replied quite sharply, “If you think what I did was watch over you, then just let it be. However, the way I see it, what I did could be counted as protection of you, more or less. Otherwise, I would not have saved you on Mount Jiuhua and in Huang Mei Town. If it had been an ordinary person in your situation, in which you had offended those powerful enemies, they would have been dead a long time ago.” The way Qin Changan spoke might have been too straightforward, indicating that he did not care about Qin Sheng’s feelings at all. However, what he said was true. Ordinary people would not be that reckless. Qin Changan had a different point of view from that of Qin Sheng.

However, Qin Sheng did not care about at all that Qin Changan had replied to his question in such a manner because he had heard some critical words, namely, Huang Mei Town.

It did not occur to him that it was Qin Changan who had helped him overcome the difficulty in Huang Mei Town, which he somewhat could not accept. It was because of this issue that he felt like he was a lame duck who could only overcome difficulties with others’ help. Based on his character, he simply could not accept a result like this, which was simply a naked insult to him.

Qin Sheng gritted his teeth as he asked, “When did the so-called protection on your side start?”

Qin Changan questioned him as a reply, “What do you think?”

Qin Sheng thought for a while and replied, “Did it start in Xiamen, Shanghai, or Xi’an?”

Qin Changan shook his head and smiled bitterly, who seemed to be somewhat disdainful because he thought that Qin Sheng should have guessed the timing right. As a result, he replied immediately, “No. It started from the moment I found you. Never have you escaped from my capability range.”

This answer completely ignited the fury in Qin Sheng’s heart, which he had been suppressing for a long time. He stood up straightly with a “bomb” and stared at Qin Changan in the face as he said, “Why?”

Qin Sheng’s fury could not pose as a threat to Qin Changan at all, who had seen much in life. He was still calm and poised except for him being somewhat nervous in the beginning. At this moment, he was peaceful.

With a smile on his face, he explained, “I won’t tell you the reason because the reason means nothing to you now. However, someday you will understand my good intentions.”

Upon finishing his last sentence, Qin Changan stood up and left without hesitation at all and did not pay attention to Qin Sheng, who had been carried away by his fury. It was because in his opinion since he had finished what he should say, he was not in a mood to deal with Qin Sheng’s meaningless questions.

As for whether Qin Sheng could understand his good intentions or not, he did not care about it at all, because he was Qin Changan…
