Chapter 419 - Did Su Qin Come Back to Xian? (1/2)
Fate is something that is a mystery within a mystery. For those who are not destined to be together, even if they pass by each other thousands of times, they would not pay any attention to each other. As for those who are destined to be together, even though they had just met each other for the first time, they would keep each other in mind forever. However, in reality, most people are not destined to be together. Even if they had accompanied each other for many years, they have no choice but to disappear into the crowd in the end without ever contacting or seeing each other again.
Some people were connected by vicious fate, who had been entangled with each other continuously while hating and loving each other. The man with a low upbringing whom Qin Sheng had seen at this moment was a perfect example. If he had been Qin Sheng’s friend, Qin Sheng might have sighed emotionally, saying that it was a small world. However, they were enemies instead of friends. Consequently, Qin Sheng could only say that enemies were bound to meet each other on a narrow road.
In a city with a population of over 10 million, the probability of two people encountering each other accidentally was simply too low. To a lot of people, though they had been in the same city, if they did not contact each other intentionally, it might be difficult for them to run into each other once in their entire lives. However, although Qin Sheng had just got to Shanghai, as he waited at a traffic light, he ran into the culprit who had betrayed him, got Qingyang killed, and almost got him killed at the critical moment.
He was nobody else but Gu Xiaobo…
Gu Xiaobo now had a luxurious car, a beauty, and a glorious life. Qin Sheng wondered whether he had gotten these rewards due to betraying him. If yes, no wonder Gu Xiaobo had chosen to betray him. After all, he had not been able to offer Gu Xiaobo these things in a short period at that time. However, life was not just about money. If all people thought that money was the most important thing, most of the people would end up being the walking dead. The further they walked, the more lonely they would feel. Many things were far more important than money, for example, family connection and brotherhood. However, in a society where many people thought they could do whatever they wanted as long as they had money, to most of the people, the f**king brotherhood and family connection could not beat the abundant cash in their hands.
Consequently, it was a time when belief was lacking and when it was easy for people to get lost…
At this moment, Qin Sheng did not let his thoughts wander. He focused on staring at Gu Xiaobo, who seemed to have completely changed. Gu Xiaobo was impulsive and vicious, no longer the innocent one at that time.
Xue Qingyan was busy communicating on WeChat. Consequently, she did not notice Qin Sheng’s peculiarities. At this moment, the stoplight turned green. The driver of the Porsche pressed on the accelerator and drove it forward directly. Qin Sheng said to the bodyguard sitting in the front seat, “Brother Zheng, catch up with the car.”
The bodyguard named Brother Zheng did not ask him why and pressed the accelerator without hesitation to catch up with the Porsche ahead. Brother Zheng was a bodyguard whom the Qin Family had been cultivating for many years. He had been following at Qin Changan’s side for quite a long time. It was Zhuang Zhou who had taught him martial skills step by step. Whether it was in his loyalty or capability, he was quite good at it. Otherwise, he would not have been sent to Shanghai along with Qin Ran and Qin Sheng.
It was not until this time that Xue Qingyan came to her senses and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Qin Sheng squinted and said, “It did not occur to me that I would happen to come across my enemy while waiting for a traffic light to turn green. Of course, I will not let him go easily.”
Since Xue Qingyan did not know what had happened in Huang Mei Town, she frowned and said, “Is he Yan Chaozong?”
“No,” Qin Sheng shook his head and said. “Sister, you also saw this man before. However, you did not know him. It is this insignificant player who betrayed me at the last moment and made me almost die outside. His name is Gu Xiaobo, Lao Chang’s Martial Nephew. He had been by my side along with his Junior Brother from the same sect, Gu Qingyang. He betrayed me that night and leaked my news to Yan Chaozong. If his Junior Brother, Gu Qingyang, had not sacrificed his life to protect me, I would be dead now.”
It was not until this moment that Xue Qingyan understood what had happened and said, “There it is.”
As expected, a lot of things had happened that night in Huang Mei Town. Though Qin Sheng had explained the details to her so casually, the whole process must have been profoundly disturbing.
Qin Sheng mumbled to himself, “Qingyang, rest well. I will avenge you.”
The car which Qin Sheng and Xue Qingyan were in was a Benz E-Class, whose functionality was not as good as that of a Porsche. However, in a prosperous city like Shanghai, one could not race on the road even if one was driving a Bugatti. Consequently, it was pretty easy to keep track of a person on the road. Moreover, since Brother Zheng was a professional bodyguard, it was a piece of cake for him to track people.
From Yan’an East Road to Xintiandi South Block, they had been tracking Gu Xiaobo without being noticed. In the end, the Porsche stopped by the road and parked in a random parking space. After that, Gu Xiaobo and a beautiful girl got out of the car slowly and walked inside.
Instead of getting out of the car, Qin Sheng fixed his eyes on the departing Gu Xiaobo, looking thoughtful. Brother Zheng asked casually, “Young Master, should we follow him inside?”
Qin Sheng was hesitant for a while. After that, he said, “Brother Zheng, I have one task for you. You don’t need to do anything else over the next two days. All you need to do is keep an eye on this man and figure out where he lives and who he has contacted. I will tell my sister about this later on.”
Brother Zheng, who was still not talkative, nodded quietly and said, “OK. Young Master, rest assured that I will complete the task.”
Qin Sheng and Xue Qingyan left the car to Brother Zheng and ordered a taxi to head for Hengshan Road, which Xue Qingyan did not oppose at all. After all, Qin Sheng was capable enough to face these enemies now. His enemies probably would be greatly astounded then, who might regret what they had done before.
Consequently, as the saying goes, don’t discriminate against a poor young man.
There were not many people on Hengshan Road on the New Year Holiday. However, many people chose to stay in this city. But the reason why they had not been willing to head for their hometown to celebrate the New Year was something that they alone could know. Moreover, several million foreigners were still in Shanghai, who did not celebrate Chinese New Year at all.
There were fewer and fewer bars on Hengshan Road. As for those that could continue their business, they were either the century-old shops with prosperous business, which had many loyal old customers, or the rich and powerful ones, which did not care about the deficit but rather, the nostalgia.
Why was the business named YOUNG Bar still running? The reasons could be divided into the two above-mentioned ones. The business of this bar was pretty good and its lady boss was Su Qin. Since Su Qin had so many memories here, she had been persistent in keeping YOUNG Bar open. Moreover, she, being fair-skinned, rich, and beautiful, did not lack money at all.
