Chapter 468 - Wait and See (2/2)

Qin Changan nodded and said, “You have quite a lot of free time, right? When you’re free, you can go to Xi’an for the Lin Family’s case in case anything goes wrong. Some people might not be happy about our interfering.”

Qin Sheng understood and said, “Fine, I’ll attend class tomorrow and go to Xi’an the day after tomorrow.”

Qin Changan met a few old friends that night and but he didn’t drink. Unlike his tipsy son, Qin Changan was sober. But he was tired since he spent almost the whole night on working things out.

“Go and have some rest. It’s too late.” Qin Changan waved his hands, implying that Qin Sheng should leave. He still had something else to deal with at the moment.

Nan Gong rose and said, “Foster Father, good night.”

“Ye’zi, you really made a lot of efforts these days. I appreciate your work in the company,” Qin Changan said casually. He had spared no efforts to cultivate Nan Gong into a capable staff. He was quite content about her work; she could handle everything assigned to her.

Nan Gong answered in an obedient tone, “Foster Father, I’m just doing my job.”

Qin Sheng didn’t rise and leave though. He thought that the evening was a good opportunity to talk about Uncle Jiang’s trouble with his father. Master Qin was quite busy in recent days, and he finally had a chance to talk to his father. He thought of Qing’er, so he started a conversation.

“I have something else to talk to you,” Qin Sheng said.

Qin Changan was a bit surprised. “Oh, what is it?”

Qin Sheng hesitated a bit, but finally said it. “When I was studying and then worked in Shanghai years ago, Uncle Jiang helped me a lot. He then got into trouble and had to escape abroad. I wonder if you can help.”

Qin Sheng was quite relieved after speaking out. No matter what answer he would be given, he had done his part to try.

Nan Gong was a bit irritated because of the hour. And Qin Sheng was taking his father’s sleeping time and damaging his father’s health for other people’s business.

Qin Changan was not surprised about this business and didn’t get angry. He just said, “I knew you would talk about this sooner or later.”

Qin Sheng thought for a while and said, “He used to help me a lot. I’m not the kind of person who forgets other people’s help. I’ll feel bad if I did so. Can you help? If it is too much, just forget it.”

Qin Changan said in a low tone, “Jiang Xianbang’s case is much more complicated than that of the Lin Family. I know that he got involved in a couple things, big things at that. But you don’t have to be worried. Since he was able to escape abroad, someone must be protecting him.”

Qin Sheng understood what his father meant. It wasn’t that easy to escape abroad at the moment. Since Uncle Jiang was still living an easy and comfortable life, he was not in real danger. But his father also said that Jiang’s case was much more complicated than that of the Lin Family.

Qin Sheng was really worried and asked further. “What do you mean by saying that?”

“Just wait and see. I need time to figure out what’s going on, like the relations behind, the profit behind. Then I’ll make a choice. If I’m sure that it is too much, I’m not gonna help then. Don’t blame me for that.” Qin Changan was quite honest about his answer to Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng understood his father, but still felt a little frustrated. There was still hope anyway. He said, “Emm, I get it.”

After that, Qin Sheng said good night and rose to leave. He still needed to talk with Uncle Jiang to know more about the details of his case. Then he would have a plan. But what about Qing’er? She would be really disappointed, right? But Qin Sheng couldn’t help. He was not yet as capable as his father. If he were to take his father’s position one day, he would definitely try his best to help in this kind of situation.

Qin Sheng and Nan Gong lived in a wing building at the left side of the siheyuan. Qin Ran’s room was in between theirs. They walked, one following the other. When Nan Gong reached her room, she stopped and said, “I wish you wouldn’t trouble your father, my foster father, with everything related to your friends. If you were standing on his position, you would know how much pressure he shoulders. That’s all, thank you.”

Then she entered the room and slammed the door.

Qin Sheng felt quite awkward after Nan Gong’s scolding. It was his father, wasn’t he? But Qin Sheng didn’t get really angry since he knew that Nan Gong really cared for his father, even more than he did.
