Chapter 419 - Did Su Qin Come Back to Xian? (2/2)
When Qin Sheng and Xue Qingyan arrived at the entrance of YOUNG Bar, they rejoiced in secret that the bar was still running during the New Year Holiday. Otherwise, they would have had to change the location again. They did not know that the bar had been closed for several days during the New Year Holiday. It was not until last night that it had reopened.
Qin Sheng knew YOUNG Bar the best. The internal layout of the bar was still the same. However, there were not many customers inside the bar now. Four to five tables of customers sat there in twos and threes. After all, it was the fourth day of the New Year Holiday today. Those who had been dispersed among various locations as if they were fireworks would probably come back to Shanghai starting tomorrow.
Qin Sheng found a quiet corner for Xue Qingyan, where he had observed Su Qin singing quietly previously. At that moment, a waiter walked over and asked if they would like to order anything to drink. Qin Sheng asked Xue Qingyan to place an order, who randomly ordered a bottle of red wine, some fruits, and some snacks. After all, they were here to talk business.
The residential singer on the stage was a girl, who was singing the song of Xie Chunhua named Please Give Me. More and more talented female singers showed up in the current society. Qin Sheng was not surprised at all that the residential singer was still working during the New Year Holiday. After all, in this seemingly noisy city, many people were still struggling with their lives. Among them, some might be roamers who had not been willing to go home. In that case, they would find a random job to kill the time and loneliness. Of course, they might have other various reasons to do so.
Xue Qingyan asked with great interest, “You can tell me now where others are since you are here. Moreover, what on earth happened that night?”
Qin Sheng let out a sigh and said, “We knew it was too dangerous for us to stay in Hangzhou. After all, we had offended too many people. Consequently, we decided to leave Hangzhou right away that night. I asked Lin Su to go back to Ningbo in advance. After all, it was not safe for her to stay with me. I would not be concerned about her safety if she were in the Lin Family. After that, we left Hangzhou in three groups to deceive and confuse the enemies. Hao Lei and Tang She headed for Taizhou, while Lao Chang headed for another place. Gu Xiaobo, Gu Qingyang, and I headed for Hubei. We figured out a way to get rid of the trackers in the city and exerted great effort to get out of the city. Originally, we had thought the plan was flawless. However, nobody knew what would happen later.”
As Qin Sheng talked about what had happened that night, he let out a sigh. Following that, he said, “Lao Chang and I agreed to meet each other in Huang Mei Town, Hubei. Unfortunately, Gu Xiaobo had leaked my plan to Yan Chaozong’s group members. They waited there for me to fall into their trap. The ending was quite tragic. Gu Xiaobo’s betrayal made me come to a dead end. Gu Qingyang died in Huang Mei Town protecting me. Later, I found out Lao Chang had been seriously injured that night. After that, I flew to Jiujiang City, which was on the opposite side of Huang Mei Town, and arrived in Tsingtao with another identity by train. I met my sister later on and she brought me back to Beijing.”
As Xue Qingyan heard Qin Sheng’s explanation, she felt somewhat confused and asked, “Then how did you get away that night? Why did you run to Tsingtao? How did your family members find you there?”
Knowing that Xue Qingyan was going to ask him those exact questions, Qin Sheng replied, “It turned out my father had found me sooner. However, he had been protecting me in the darkness all the time. Back when I had been in Huang Mei Town, without his people, I would have died there that night. The reason why I had gone to Tsingtao in the beginning was that I had old friends there and intended to restart from scratch there. However, I offended them again. So my sister stepped up then.”
Xue Qingyan asked curiously, “When did they find you?”
Qin Sheng was hesitant for a while. After that, he replied, “The year before last. I know what you are going to ask me again, sister. It turns out when it comes to many things, I do not understand them quite well. I am afraid that I can only figure them out in the future.”
Xue Qingyan said thoughtfully, “Yes. They probably had their considerations. Anyway, it is fine since you are here. By the way, where is Lao Chang?”
Qin Sheng said slowly, “I went back to Xi’an before the New Year Holiday and saw Hao Lei, who had been in Xi’an after he had left Hangzhou. However, I could not get in touch with Lao Chang, whose whereabouts were unknown. Lin Su had been in the Lin Family all the time. However, the Lin Family confined her at home. I felt somewhat speechless about her family. I will go to Ningbo to pick Lin Su up soon. At that time, I will reason with them.”
Xue Qingyan asked casually, “Do you need my help?” Following that, she gave up on this idea. After all, Qin Sheng was no longer who he used to be.
Qin Sheng burst into laughter as he said, “Sister, if I need your help, I will speak it out.”
At this moment, the waiter served the red wine, fruits, and snacks. Qin Sheng glimpsed at the waiter and found that it seemed all the waiters in the bar were new. After that, he turned to the manager in charge of the bar, whom he had not seen before. Qin Sheng could not help frowning and wondered what had happened.
Consequently, Qin Sheng said to the waiter, “Please ask your manager to come here. I am a loyal client here. I have something to confirm with him.”
The waiter did not ask for further details. Instead, after he put the things down, he left and whispered to the manager. Following that, the newly-appointed manager walked over smilingly.
The manager dressed in a suit, looking quite energetic, and asked politely, “Hello. How can I help you?”
Qin Sheng, who looked somewhat confused, asked, “Do you have a new boss here?”
After the manager heard Qin Sheng’s question, he understood what was going on immediately. That was because a lot of people had asked him the same question in recent days. He replied happily, “Oh. It seems that you are a loyal customer here. However, you must have not been here in a long time. We got a new boss before the New Year Holiday.”
Qin Sheng asked surprisedly, “Why?”
The manager studied the man in front of him up and down and confirmed that he had to be a fan of his former beautiful lady boss. He smiled understandably and said, “According to our boss, the former lady boss left Shanghai for her hometown, Xi’an. That was the reason she sold this bar.”
After Qin Sheng heard the news, he was so astounded in an instant that he did not know what he should do. He thought, “Did Su Qin go back to Xi’an?”
Of course, he knew what it meant for Su Qin to do this. It meant that Su Qin had let go of him and the relationship history between them completely. Qin Sheng’s heart was somewhat painful. It seemed that he had lost something in an instant.
