Chapter 467 - Weird (1/2)
This beautiful young lady was a quite capable person. She was kind of a half think tank, half secretary of Lao Xue. She dealt with a lot of businesses for him and even did better than him since women were more patient and careful. That was why Lao Xue had been good to her. He was willing to meet all of her reasonable needs.
She was smart and obedient. Everytime Lao Xue called her, she would attend to him as soon as possible. Besides, she ran Lao Xue’s business, especially those on the black market.
What happened just then had been arranged by her. She “wrote the script” for everybody. She was very sensible since her plan was not targeting THAT person, but to deliver a signal to other people who would finish the plan for her. By this means, nobody would suspect her.
Han Xu was a regular at clubs like these in Beijing. He spent most of his time in the capital city. So everytime when he said Qin Sheng was SOMEONE in Beijing, he didn’t really mean it by saying that. It was no more than a joke. In fact, he was the SOMEONE in Beijing. When he left the booth, walking down toward the hallway, a couple of people greeted him like real friends all along his way out. This was just the same scenario when he came in.
Those people, who were a bit tipsy, got half sober after coming out of the club. The flashing light and the loud music triggered their hormones, making people kind of dizzy. But they all felt better then due to the comfortable breeze outside.
Contrary to the crowded interior of the club, it was relatively quiet outside. Tipsy or drunk people moved around, staggering. Women all wore heavy makeup like Paris Hilton, but men just deemed those women as their targets. It was a hidden game rule in that place, women became easy to get after they got drunk.
They couldn’t drive after drinking alchohol. In case of any troubles, Han Xu arranged two drivers for everybody. They would send everybody home.
Qin Sheng didn’t get on Han Xu’s car. His own driver, Chang Baji, had been waiting for him. On the way to Ghost Street, their next destination, Qin Sheng started a conversation with Hao Lei by saying, “Brother Lei, it’s kinda boring, huh?”
Hao Lei shook his head and said, “No. It’s OK.”
“It’s not that hard today since we’re with Han Xu and these friends. I will have endless similar scenarios to deal with. Life is such a struggle,” Qin Sheng said and forced a bitter smile. He wanted to let out his sad feelings by drinking alchohol, while things got nothing but worse. The only thing he could do at the moment was to keep calm and easy.
Hao Lei was not good at comforting Qin Sheng at this moment. He couldn’t imagine Qin Sheng’s incredible experiences, especially the great changes that happened to him in recent days.
“I’m so missing those days when we were still high schoolers. We didn’t think that much. We only studied, talked about those beautiful girls, wrote love letters, bought gifts for beautiful girls, played basketball and video games… Humph, I really miss those days,” Hao Lei said in a low tone. He hoped that those good memories could encourage Qin Sheng.
It did work. Qin Sheng felt much better then and also drew himself in the happy old memories when they were all teenagers.
It was a bit late when they arrived at Ghost Street, but the businesses there were still quite busy. Qin Sheng, Hao Lei and their other old classmates went to a food stall and got a table, to eat spicy crayfish and chat away. The sad feelings just then were just temporary, and had been forgotten. They just chatted and had a few laughs. The distance among them was reduced very soon.
Qin Sheng then withdrew his distant face, and put forward some interesting topics about their youth. It was impossible to build up deep friendships over a meal, but they got to be familiar with each other. Maybe one day they would help each other when in need.
After the meal, most people went back to their own places respectively. Some went on to other places to have fun, but Qin Sheng just left. There was no parking lot in the surrounding places, so their three cars were parked on the other road. They walked a bit to sober up.
When they almost got to the parking lot, a group of strong men rushed towards them from two minibuses on the road. They had seven or eight. Everybody knew what was going on. Somebody, probably someone they had conflicts with at VICS, must have arranged for those people to show up and wait to get them.
Except for Han Xu, who often exercised in the gym and the boxing hall, the others were all busy with working and didn’t have time to exercise. They could by no means be capable of fighting against real gangsters like these people. Beijing was not their place, so their bodyguards, who used to be with them all the time, didn’t follow them here. After all, nobody would ever imagine that they would get into these troubles, since they just went to a party.
Wei Li and the others ran back to the direction they came, which was more populated. It was Beijing, a place with many police officers driving here and there. Those people would not dare to make any big news. They could take a revenge later.
But Han Xu didn’t run. He was really irritated this time. He had been fed up with his bad luck and the series of troubles that day; at the moment, he was seeking chance to let his anger out. The chance had arrived. He wasn’t afraid of being hit, and was quite sure that someone would surely come to settle this down. But he was tipsy, so this thought was not much from reason.
Since Han Xu was still there, Qin Sheng and Hao Lei were not going to run, either. They were not afraid of those gangsters. Qin Sheng was thinking, “Who made these people come here? The people we met at the VICS? Or my old foe?”
