Chapter 370 - A Slap Across the Face (2/2)
Ma Weiyang said very solemnly, “Ranran, little Shengzi is right. He should be the one to take revenge. Only by doing so will he feel satisfied! Little Shengzi, don’t worry about anything else, and just do it. As long as you don’t kill or commit arson, we will be here for you no matter what happens. Not only are you Ranran’s biological younger brother, but you’re also ours. And don’t forget, we always played with you when you were young!”
Zhang Da also chimed in. “Kid, give me a heads-up before going to Shanghai. We have a number of friends there.”
The other two young men also joined in on the conversation. “Us too. We only help our family, and you’re one of them.”
It eventually dawned on Qin Sheng why his sister had brought him here: she was helping him gather resources. When he really made his way to Shanghai, there would be plenty of help for him to utilize.
“Thank you, my brothers and sisters,” Qin Sheng said from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door, interrupting their discussion. Zhang Da thought that Fan Dezhi was nearby and had already arrived here, so he happily got up to open the door.
After opening the door, he realized that it was not him. Instead, it was a stranger whom he had never met before. Feeling a little unhappy, Zhang Da asked, “Who are you looking for?”
The uninvited guest was naturally Wei Li. He laughed and said, “I’m looking for Qin Sheng.”
Hearing that he was looking for Qin Sheng, Zhang Da’s attitude immediately did a 180. He opened the door for the man to come in and said to Qin Sheng, “Little Shengzi, he’s looking for you.”
Although Wei Li had only met Qin Sheng a few times, he believed them to be friends. He shouted naturally, “Qin Sheng, it’s really you! I didn’t expect to see you here!”
Qin Sheng was an intelligent guy, and he was no worse than him when it came to playing tricks. It’s just that sometimes, he did not have enough luck and resources. Besides, he was not familiar with him. Hence, he answered directly with a question, “Do I know you?”
Wei Li’s face fell as he replied awkwardly, “Qin Sheng, what are you talking about? We’re classmates!”
Zhang Da already knew what was going on and what Qin Sheng was trying to do. He chuckled as he asked, “Little Shengzi, you don’t know him?”
Qin Sheng answered emotionlessly, “No, I don’t.”
“You’d better get out of here before the count of three. Otherwise, you shall pay the consequences,” Zhang Da said to Wei Li gravely as the others also glared at him. They did not like to be disturbed, and besides, there were rules here.
What a slap across the face…
Wei Li had the word “awkward” written on his face. Completely at a loss, he did not know how to deal with this situation. He did not expect Qin Sheng to say that, nor did he think that he would be disturbing them. Wei Li just saw a familiar face and wanted to say hello, unaware of why Qin Sheng would say that. But since he had already done so, there was no turning around.
Naturally, Wei Li did not want to offend this group of people. He quickly smiled and apologized, “Sorry, I must have gotten the wrong person. Again, so sorry for the intrusion. I’ll get going now.”
While saying so, Wei Li walked out of the room and even closed the door respectfully.
After shutting the door, Wei Li’s face instantly showed his disappointment and unhappiness. But so what if he was dissatisfied? He subconsciously wanted to get revenge on Qin Sheng by telling Yan Chaozong and the rest of his whereabouts. However, thinking about what Brother Zhao had told him earlier, he retreated again. It was just one rejection, and he did not lose anything. What’s more, he did not believe that he couldn’t get past the obstacle named Qin Sheng.
When Wei Li returned back to his seat, Brother Zhao saw his depressed look and guessed the answer. He laughed and said, “Rejected?”
Wei Li was confused. “Brother Zhao, how did you know?”
Brother Zhao shook his head and smiled. “Oh, Wei Li, sometimes you have to tone down your cleverness a bit. For this group of youngsters, they would not give a crap about you just because you are rich. There are plenty of families who are wealthier than yours, right? Even so, there are many who escape, run, and die all of a sudden. The water in Sijiu City runs deep. You’ll get the hang of it in time.”
Wei Li was not angry at all. Rather, he smiled bitterly and said, “Thank you, Brother Zhao, for the lesson.”
In the private room, Qin Ran could feel that the atmosphere earlier on was not quite right, so she asked in a low voice, “Qin Sheng, did you recognize him?”
Qin Sheng did not deny it. “I did. He was a classmate in the advanced class. Besides, he’s from Hangzhou and knows about my story there, so I’m just testing him.”
Qin Ran got the picture immediately, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “You are just like the old man!”
Qin Sheng smiled cheekily, not refuting.
The other people in the private room might not pay much attention to this small incident. Qin Sheng naturally had his reasons for doing so. They would not pick on Qin Sheng because of an outsider.
