Chapter 470 - Going Against the Wind (1/2)
It was Han Xu who had set up the trap the night before. However, what happened at the last moment had almost made everyone suffer losses. Of course, Han Xu was very unhappy. It had nothing to do with his dignity, so he sent people out during the night to find the man. It was clear that the man was a frequent visitor to the VICS pub, who also knew Little Bee. Han Xu thought that it shouldn’t be difficult to find him. However, the result turned out to be the opposite.
“Disappeared?” One of Han Xu’s classmates who had accompanied him the night before frowned when he heard the news. His name was Xu Yang, who came from Shenzhen. His father was a famous entrepreneur who was well-known for his metal trade. Although he was older than several of his classmates, including Qin Sheng, he was very polite and low-key.
Han Xu said thoughtfully, “Yes. He disappeared. I sent people out to search for him the whole night. Although they searched in many places, including his home and the places where he had visited frequently, they didn’t find him. Even his mobile phone had been turned off. They’re still looking for him.”
Wei Li said calmly, “It’s somewhat abnormal.”
Another classmate from Jiangsu asked, “Elder Han, any news from the sub-bureau?”
Han Xu replied honestly, “Up till now, the policemen still haven’t found anything out of the interrogation. they just insisted on saying that they had beaten the wrong person and it was just a misunderstanding.” The group of people should be no more than insignificant underlings who must have been warned, so they probably couldn’t give any hints.
Xu Yang snorted and said, “These guys deserve to be dealt with harshly. If they keep their mouths shut, the policemen can’t do anything to them. F**k! We must vent our anger on them. If it hadn’t been for Lao Qin and his friend, all of us would have been injured last night.”
Speaking of this, they expressed their gratitude to Qin Sheng in succession. Replying politely with a few words, Qin Sheng was still thinking about what had happened. Although it was just a petty conflict, it must have been carefully planned.
Han Xu said indignantly, “When they are released, I will find someone to deal with them. I don’t believe that I just can’t find out the mastermind behind the scene. It seems they thought everyone could bully me at will. I’m afraid they weren’t well-informed.” It was clear that he would never let go of them easily if the truth didn’t come out in the end.
Wei Li said casually, “Elder Han, the way I see it, what happened last night seems to be a trap. How about you reorganize your thoughts? Did someone plan this to purposefully annoy you?”
Hearing Wei Li’s reminder, everyone on the scene looked at each other awkwardly. Qin Sheng said, “What Wei Li said makes sense. Last night, I felt that the whole process was too strange. The ending today further proved that my guessing was true. Han Xu, think about it… whom have you offended recently?”
Han Xu thought for a moment and said, “I’ll call my family members and ask them later.”
The talk about the incident thus came to an end. At least Qin Sheng had no time to worry about it anymore. Maybe he had overthought it. These people should have intended to target Han Xu in the beginning. Anyway, sooner or later, the truth would be revealed.
He only needed to attend classes two days per week. Once the classes for the day were over, Qin Sheng’s academic study would come to an end. He had already booked a flight back to Xi’an and also informed Auntie Wang and Xin Xin in advance. Xin Xin was a junior college student in her second half-semester, who had to attend a lot of classes. So she could only ask for a few days off. After all, her father’s matter was more important than anything else.
Before the New Year Holiday, Qin Sheng had asked Auntie Wang to sort out all the relevant documents at that time to be directly sent to the Qin Family’s courtyard. After looking over all the documents, Qin Changan turned to a lot of his friends for consultation and suggestions. That was the reason why Qin Sheng had conjured a well-thought-out plan eventually. If it hadn’t been for Qin Changan’s connections, most of the people would have found out that this matter was quite difficult to handle, which did happen often in reality.
After the two classes were over, Han Xu insisted on treating his classmates with lunch as an apology, saying that everyone had been shocked the previous night and he did so to calm everyone down. Although his classmates said that it was just something trivial, Han Xu was persistent. Even Qin Sheng was unable to persuade him.
However, before they went out of the classroom, Qin Sheng received a phone call, which surprised him. That was because it was Song Ruyu who had called him. According to what she said, she happened to be at Qinghua since she had gone to deal with some business that day. At the moment she was in the School of Economics and Management, so she called Qin Sheng conveniently to see whether he was around. Knowing that Qin Sheng had just finished classes and intended to have lunch, Song Ruyu took the initiative to treat him with lunch, saying that she should thank him for having taken care of her in Shanghai.
Since Song Ruyu had said so, of course, Qin Sheng would not refuse her. Hence, he decisively abandoned Han Xu and his friends. Han Xu and others did not take it to heart. After all, it was Qin Sheng’s friend who had come to find him.
Song Ruyu waited for Qin Sheng at the ground floor of the building where the School of Economics and Management was based. She stood under the shade of a tree; she smiled and waved at Qin Sheng when she saw him exit the building with his classmates, including Han Xu and Wei Li. All them instantly understood why Qin Sheng had abandoned them. It turned out he had done so for the sake of his beautiful female friend. They all cursed Qin Sheng for putting gals before pals. Qin Sheng didn’t bother with them.
The crowd was amazed when they approached Song Ruyu. They admired her beauty, especially her graceful temperament. All of them greeted Song Ruyu with a smile.
“Lao Qin, why don’t you introduce her to us?” Xu Yang teased with a smile.
Qin Sheng said casually, “My friend, Song Ruyu.”
“Hello,” Song Ruyu greeted the crowd very generously.
They introduced themselves one after another. Han Xu said with a smile, “We finally see what she looks like. Lao Qin, you are so mean. Are you afraid that we will steal her away from you? That’s why you kept her from us, right?”
Qin Sheng smiled and cursed, “Get the hell out of here.”
Xu Yang said playfully, “Lao Qin, don’t deny that she is your girlfriend. Otherwise, we will all get a chance.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Sheng replied, “Xu Yang, don’t play tricks on her. Otherwise, you will regret it. Don’t come to me for help at that time.”
Song Ruyu didn’t know what Qin Sheng’s words meant. She stared at Qin Sheng with a puzzled look on her face. If she knew Qin Sheng had tried to warn his friends about this beautiful girl’s brother who was not easy to deal with, she would not know whether to laugh or cry.
