Chapter 96 (2/2)

Xia Lei went to welcome Qin Xiang and said quietly, “You punk, didn’t I tell you to hide for a few days?”

“I’ve thought about it. Huang Yi-Hu has nothing on me now so why should I be hiding from him? Besides, he can find you even if he can’t find me. He won’t sit by and do nothing. He’s dangerous now so I have to be by your side. More people by your side means more protection,” said Qin Xiang.

Xia Lei sighed, “Fine. You can stay on since you’re here. I’ll introduce you. This is my senior disciple, Liang Si-Yao.”

Qin Xiang smiled charmingly and said flatteringly, “Oh, Miss Liang is so pretty.”

Liang Si-Yao felt it weird but still put on a smile and shook hands with Qin Xiang, “Hello, Mis- uh, Mr Qin.”

She’d nearly called him ‘Miss Qin’. Qin Xiang was too much like a woman. He looked very much like one but he was not.

Qin Xiang was surprised, “Do you know me, Miss Liang?”

“Mm, we were just talking about you. Lei wants to build a supermarket and have you manage it for him,” said Liang Si-Yao.

Qin Xiang looked at Xia Lei in surprise, “What’s this?”

Xia Lei explained his idea and said, “Wasn’t your salon burned down? You have no place to go anyway so come help me.”

Qin Xiang smiled, “Sure. A change of environment isn’t too bad either. I’ll give it a go.”

“Miss Liang!” Guan Ling-Shan called, “Can you come over for a minute? We need your confirmation on something.”

“I’ll go over and take a look. You guys continue,” said Liang Si-Yao.

Qin Xiang spoke warmly, “Yes, Miss Liang, see you later.” He waved his soft, white hand after he spoke.

Liang Si-Yao turned to leave and started muttering to herself two steps later, “Oh my god, I can’t take it… Lei is not that type, is he? No, no. Lei was sensitive when I was practicing Wing Chun with him. That sort of reaction is very obvious and I’ve seen it many times. He’s normal…”

After Liang Si-Yao walked off, Xia Lei asked, “Have you mailed the letter?”

“I made copies of the informant letter you wrote and mailed it to all the anti-corruption departments in the city. I also sent it to two news media stations,” he smiled, “And, the videos you put online have gone viral. Views have gone over 200,000 and gathered thousands of comments. I believe a news site will report on it soon.”

A smile also appeared on Xia Lei’s face, “Huang Yi-Hu is finished for sure this time.”

“I bet he’d never even dreamt that you’d be able to crack his German-imported safe and that you’re a great master burglar,” said Qin Xiang.

Xia Lei was never a master burglar but was able to crack a safe a real master burglar could not so it wasn’t much of a stretch when Qin Xiang said he was a great master burglar.

Just then, Xia Lei’s gaze was suddenly drawn to the road. A black Maybach car stopped about 500 metres away by the roadside. It was quite a distance away but Xia Lei could see Huang Yi-Hu in the driver’s seat.

Huang Yi-Hu had finally shown himself.

Xia Lei did not find it strange that Huang Yi-Hu had turned up at this time.

As Xia Lei spotted Huang Yi-Hu, five minivans came up from behind the black Maybach. They were not going fast and every minivan held seven people. The walls of the minivans were metal but Xia Lei could see into the minivans and he saw that the people were all Huang Yi-Hu’s underlings holding choppers, bats and other weapons.

Xia Lei looked at the last minivan - the other minivans had seven people but this one had four. The four were Huang Yi-Hu’s bodyguards and they carried guns!

“Run!” Xia Lei stopped using his eye and pushed Qin Xiang, “Huang Yi-Hu’s brought thugs!”

“Where?” asked Qin Xiang in a panic.

Xia Lei had no time to explain and he shouted loudly, “Si-Yao, take our people and leave, hurry!”

Qin Xiang then spotted the five minivans approaching and his face turned white.

Liang Si-Yao, however, had not realised what was going on and asked, “What? Why? Why do we have to leave?”

“Huang Yi-Hu’s brought his people here!” said Xia Lei anxiously.

At that moment, the minivans came to a stop and the doors opened. A group of vicious young men bearing weapons came charging out at them.
