Chapter 402 - The Mediator (2/2)

Chen Taihe took the initiative to admit his mistake. He couldn’t back Du Xuan and Ding Wen up anymore. Nor was he capable of doing that. That was because if he intended to continue supporting them, he would need to pay a pretty high price. Consequently, he said in a hurry, “Sixth Brother, you are right. It is just a small misunderstanding. Several young people were in petty conflict. Du Xuan, it is your fault since you fought first. Apologize to him.”

The look on Du Xuan’s face changed constantly. It did not occur to him that such a petty issue would cause such a big scene. He could not help blaming himself in secret that he had been too impulsive a moment ago. Not only had he been beaten but he had also become a joke. Meanwhile, he had offended many people. After this issue was over, he would be rebuked by Brother Chen, that much was certain. Moreover, he would owe Brother Chen a big favor. All in all, he needed to pay a double penalty.

It did not occur to him that Cao Yufeng had known such an influential person who would dare to help him out here. Following that, so many important figures had been involved. If he had known that, he would not have offended Cao Yufeng.

Du Xuan looked at Qin Sheng. The look on his face was pretty ghastly. After all, this was the first time he had suffered such a great loss. Though he had been beaten, he needed to apologize. In the end, he gritted his teeth as he said, “I’m sorry.”

However, at this time, Qin Sheng said, “It’s not me who you should apologize to.”

After Qin Sheng finished his words, some people changed the looks on their faces. However, what Qin Sheng had said was right, which was not faulty at all.

Du Xuan lowered his head. The look in his eyes was quite vicious. There were enmity and malice between him and Qin Sheng. He had to get revenge on Qin Sheng for what he had done to him today, however long it would take him.

As the saying goes, a great man knows when to yield and when not to. Du Xuan thought, “Why do I feel ashamed to do that? It’s just lowering my head in front of Cao Yufeng.” Though he hated to do so, he had no other way out at this time. Consequently, before Chen Taihe spoke, he raised his head and said to Cao Yufeng again, “I’m sorry.”

Since Du Xuan had apologized, it was Qin Sheng’s turn now. Others all looked at Qin Sheng. Even Song Hesheng said in a low voice, “Qin Sheng.”

If not for the important figure and the concern that this issue would become more and more serious, never would Qin Ran ask Qin Sheng to lower his head and apologize. However, she had no other way out now. Otherwise, she would end up offending too many people.

Qin Sheng said plainly, “Sorry for the hard beating a moment ago.” What he had said seemed to be an ambiguous apology. It sounded much more like a taunting.

As Du Xuan heard his words, he was at a loss as he thought, “What the hell. Are you f**king apologizing to me?”

The look on Song Hesheng’s face changed somewhat. He felt a little angry as well as relieved. Chen Taihe stared at Qin Sheng closely and thought, “Did you intend to shame me?” As for the man who had taken the initiative to be a mediator, he eyed Qin Sheng up and down thoughtfully and wondered why Qin Sheng was so bold.

Others thought of Qin Sheng’s apology from different perspectives. However, at this moment, no one dared to speak. As for the group of people including Qin Ran and Ma Weiyang, they found it funny and did not know whether they should laugh or cry. In secret, they gave a thumbs-up for Qin Sheng and thought that Qin Sheng had taken such great advantage of Du Xuan.

In the end, Chen Taihe could not help himself anymore and said, “Is it over?”

The mediator was no longer patient. He put his arms around Chen Taihe’s shoulders as he said, “That’s it, Lao Chen. Let’s call a halt to it before it is too late. Lao Chen, Lao Song, let’s go drinking. Don’t let this petty issue discourage us.”

Chen Taihe had no choice but to be pulled away. He had been disgraced today. Song Hesheng also took his leave. However, before he left, he took a glimpse at Qin Sheng again for a while. The look in his eyes was somewhat playful.

Those tycoons had left, which called a halt to the conflict. This conflict ended up with nothing definitive. Only those who did not want to be alive anymore would choose to continue making trouble.

Ma Weiyang held on to Qin Sheng’s arms, chuckled, and said, “Brother, don’t stand here. Let’s go drinking.”

Qin Sheng was not anxious to leave. Instead, he looked at Cao Yufeng and the woman by his side and smiled as he said, “Let’s go, Lao Er. Time for us to catch up.”

They swaggered off and went to where they had sat a moment ago. The group of people with Du Xuan and Ding Wen were also pulled away. Since they had suffered a big loss, they did not want to stay there anymore. As for the on-lookers, they had retreated earlier than them. After all, the show was now over.

Cao Yufeng, who was following behind Qin Sheng closely, found what had happened today funny and did not know whether he should laugh or cry. Meanwhile, he was somewhat puzzled…
