Strongest Counterattack Chapter 310 - You Can't Leave with Me

It seemed that Qin Sheng really needed to turn to someone to tell his fortunes, checking whether something had gone wrong in his fate or not. Wherever he went, he would offend people and could not fit in. Whoever following him would have bad luck in the end. Though he was less than 30 years old, he had offended three commanding forces in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai regions. If others offended one of the three forces, they would need to go about begging for help and praying for themselves. Meanwhile, Qin Sheng was pretty lucky to offend all of the three forces at one time. He was so lucky that he should consider buying a lottery ticket.

No wonder Qin Sheng had asked his grandfather so many times what his fate would be. The Old Master had just smiled and said nothing at all…

By the time Xue Qingyan arrived at Jiuxi Rose Garden, it was already 11 o’clock in the evening. She had been quite occupied in recent days. Since many projects were going on at the same time, as a Deputy General Manager who was in charge of the Investment Evaluation Management Department, she had either worked overtime and held meetings every day or went on a business trip. Sometimes, she had been called to hold a video or phone call conference in the early morning or in the dead of night and had met different investment parties and investor representatives.

As a result, upon knowing that Qin Sheng had gotten in trouble today, Xue Qingyan had been busy and exhausted, making calls continuously and begging her connections. If she had not used her family’s connections, she could not have been sure that she could get Qin Sheng out of the bureau. After all, she confronted the pressure from both the Qu family and the Yan family, who were not ordinary at all.

Cao Da and Lin Su went out to pick up Xue Qingyan in person. After all, since Xue Qingyan had pretty powerful connections, Cao Da intended to make friends with her, more or less. After Xue Qingyan saw Lin Su, she took the initiative to comfort her by saying, “Lin Su, don’t worry. Qin Sheng is fine now.”

Feeling guilty, Lin Su said, “Sister Xue, so sorry for disturbing you and making you rush all the way from Shanghai.” After all, she had been engaged in the financial investment business once and knew how exhausted the people engaged in this field would get. In addition, speaking of Xue Qingyan’s company, it was a well-known investment company in Shanghai, which set its feet in various fields related to finance.

Xue Qingyan shook Lin Su’s hands as she said, “It’s all right. Since Qin Sheng is my brother, I should rush to help him once he got into such big trouble. I can postpone my work for a few more days. So far, his issue is the most important thing to me. ”

It was not until Xue Qingyan finished greeting Lin Su that she stared at Cao Da. As a matter of fact, she had seen Cao Da before. However, they had not communicated with each other often. Consequently, she said politely, “Mr. Cao, long time no see.”

Cao Da eyed this great beauty in front of him, who was quite famous in Hangzhou City. He wondered why Qin Sheng could be so lucky to be greatly favored by her. Xue Qingyan’s brother achieved great success in his official career. If Xue Qingyan could try her best to help Qin Sheng out, Qin Sheng might pull himself through the difficulties this time. It seemed that this great beauty was still single, who had been romantically linked with several big shots. It was unknown if what the pink news had said was true or not. Cao Da was curious about the relationship between Qin Sheng and her.

Cao Da praised her sincerely and said, “Yes. Miss Xue, here we meet again. You are always so beautiful.”

Xue Qingyan chuckled as she said, “Mr. Cao, you are making fun of me. I am getting old and losing my looks.”

Cao Da took the initiative to invite her into his house. “Miss Xue, you are too modest. Well, let’s go inside and have a conversation. It’s pretty cold outside.”

They walked into the villa. Mi Na was accompanying his daughter on the second floor. Cao Zhang and Cao Ying did not come back from school yet. Ji Jing was still in Shanghai. Consequently, it was pretty quiet inside the villa.

After they took their seats, Cao Da ordered the maidservant to serve them tea and water. Lin Su could not help asking Xue Qingyan, “Sister Xue, how is the situation now?”

Xue Qingyan said slowly, “I have gotten into touch with my connections and got the issue solved. Qin Sheng could be released tomorrow. As for Lao Chang and the others, they might not be free till the day after tomorrow. My friend visited Qin Sheng at nightfall, saying his state was good so far. Moreover, as for the compensation made to the Yuerong Manor and the medical expenses of those on the other side who were injured, I asked someone to hold a negotiation with them. The related amount was transferred. Consequently, Qin Sheng is basically fine now.”

It was pretty thoughtful of Xue Qingyan to take care of every aspect in case the counterpart would go back on their word in the future. Obviously, though facing great pressure from the Qu family and the Yan family, Xue Qingyan had turned to pretty powerful connections to get Qin Sheng out of the bureau, which was quite amazing.

Lin Su said once again, “Sister Xue, sorry for the disturbance this time. I am grateful to you on behalf of Qin Sheng and his brothers. I will repay you the compensation in the future.”

Xue Qingyan did not refuse Lin Su at all. If she acted too politely, she would not be as close to Lin Su as before. Since it was Qin Sheng who had made the trouble, Lin Su certainly would insist on giving the money back to her. Nor could she refuse Lin Su. Currently, this might be the best Lin Su could do.

Cao Da let out a sigh and said, “Miss Xue, as expected, you have more powerful connections. I already used up my available connections. n.o.body was willing to stand up for Qin Sheng at this time.” Compared with the powerful and formidable Xue family, he was less capable. After all, Xue Qingyan was a favorite in Shanghai now because of his success in his official career.

Xue Qingyan smiled bitterly as she said, “As the saying goes, social relations actually are related to exchange with each other. I don’t know how I can requite this obligation.”

Cao Da nodded quietly as he said, “Well, what you said makes sense.” Speaking of how one would requite an obligation like this, it was not easy.

They sat in the living room and continued talking for half an hour. After that, Xue Qingyan took Lin Su away and left. She had invited Lin Su to stay in her house tonight so that she would not make blind and disorderly conjectures. After all, if Lin Su went home alone, she would feel worried about her.

At 8 o’clock in the morning, Xue Qingyan drove Lin Su to the subsidiary bureau to pick Qin Sheng up. It was not until they had been waiting at the entrance for about half an hour that Qin Sheng walked out, looking quite haggard. Raising his head and staring at the sky, which was no longer blue, Qin Sheng took a deep breath. Though the sky was broad and the city was vast, he had no place to shelter himself.

In this case, what would be his next station? Was he destined to wander from one place to another his entire life?

Though the subsidiary bureau was crowded with people and cars, Qin Sheng simply looked like an ant, which n.o.body dared to pay attention to. Qin Sheng was the only one who got released, and he felt uncomfortable about it. After all, it was he who had made trouble. His brothers had suffered disaster because of him. A moment ago, he had asked the policemen who had walked him out when his brothers would be free. Unfortunately, the policemen refused to answer his question politely, making him feel helpless. However, even so, Qin Sheng would not complain at all because it was true that he was not very capable at this time. It was due to others’ help that he could be released now. However, as long as he was free, he would strive for what he wanted.

When Qin Sheng walked out of the door of the subsidiary bureau, he looked around casually and found that no acquaintances seemed to be around. Perhaps everybody was avoiding him. After all, n.o.body thought he would win.

At this time, a Mercedes came in front of Qin Sheng slowly. Xue Qingyan and Lin Su got out of the car and stared at him warm-heartedly. Qin Sheng smiled at them subconsciously and waved his hands at them. He knew that at least he was not alone.

Xue Qingyan said gently, “Get in the car.”

Qin Sheng replied with a “Hmm” and walked to their front hurriedly. After that, he opened the door of the car and sat in the back seat. Xue Qingyan drove the Mercedes away. They disappeared quickly…

At this time, two pa.s.sers-by who were across the street of the munic.i.p.al public security bureau saw this scene. To be more exact, there were three pa.s.sers-by. They reported this news to the big shots behind the scenes one after another.

To Qin Sheng, the bureau might be the safest place for him. Starting from the moment he had walked out of the bureau, he would not be safe anymore. Even so, Qin Sheng would not choose to keep hiding in the bureau.

After Xue Qingyan drove past two traffic lights, it was still quiet in the car. n.o.body spoke at all. Xue Qingyan found it funny and said, “Why are you both silent?”

Qin Sheng replied quite straightforwardly, “I feel ashamed to speak. I am so embarra.s.sed.”

Xue Qingyan shook her head and said, “You feel so ashamed that you could not face both of us, right? If so, then make less trouble in the future. You were somewhat impulsive this time. As a matter of fact, you could have chosen not to go there. However, since you were there, it was somewhat stupid of you to make such a big scene. You completely burned your bridges.”

Qin Sheng reflected on what he had done and knew that he had been somewhat impulsive at that time. Consequently, he said, “Well, yes. I was out of my mind then and wasn’t thinking clearly. However, what is done cannot be undone. Since the damage is done, I don’t regret it at all. However, I do feel sorry for troubling you once again. I already owed you so many favors. I don’t know when I can requite all the obligations.”

Xue Qingyan shook her head and said, “You are polite to me again. If I had treated you as an outsider, I would not have rushed all the way from Shanghai.” She did take Qin Sheng as her brother. She had done all these things for Qin Sheng willingly.

Qin Sheng was greatly moved and said, “Sister, I know you don’t give a d.a.m.n about it at all. However, I feel somewhat uncomfortable about it.”

Xue Qingyan directly interrupted Qin Sheng and said, “All right. Don’t say that kind of nonsense anymore. I will drive you back home now. When you are at home, you can take a shower and have a good rest. Lin Su will be by your side. Don’t ever think about anything at all.”

Qin Sheng let out a sigh as he said, “Can I stop thinking about anything? Lao Chang and my other brothers are still confined in the bureau. How should I face the Qu family and the Yan family?”

Xue Qingyan replied meaningfully, “Lao Chang and the others are supposed to be released tomorrow. As for this, you don’t need to worry about it. I wonder how can you deal with the Qu family and Yan family. In fact, I can find solutions for you and stand up for you on my own if necessary.”

Upon hearing that Lao Chang and his other brothers would be free tomorrow, Qin Sheng was finally at ease. However, when it came to how to deal with the Qu family and Yan family, Qin Sheng really did not want to trouble Xue Qingyan anymore. He shook his head while saying, “Sister, I don’t want to trouble you with the issue of the Qu and Yan families because I have already caused you so many inconveniences. Plus, you are in a somewhat special situation. I don’t want you to be involved. I have my own plan.”

Xue Qingyan frowned slightly and asked, “What is your plan?”

Since Qin Sheng had turned the plan over in his mind, he said straightforwardly, “Since I can’t fight them, I can avoid them at least. Consequently, I plan to leave Hangzhou and stay away from that group of people in the Yangtze River Delta region. There should be a place for me to shelter myself in a vast country. I don’t think that I will still be so mediocre in 10 years or 20 years or 50 years in the future.”

Upon hearing what Qin Sheng had said, both Xue Qingyan and Lin Su were stupefied. It did not occur to them that Qin Sheng would make such a decision. Consequently, they stared at Qin Sheng dumbfoundedly. Fortunately, they were at a red light just then. If Xue Qingyan had heard what Qin Sheng had said while driving, an accident might have taken place.

After that, n.o.body spoke anymore. Silence prevailed in the inside of the car again. Both Xue Qingyan and Lin Su were still digesting what Qin Sheng had announced. Before Qin Sheng had been in Hangzhou for half a year, he was about to move again.

After they arrived at Golden Coast located in the Binjiang District, Qin Sheng and Lin Su got out of the car. Xue Qingyan did not plan to accompany them home at all. However, before Qin Sheng got out of the car, she said, “The way I see it, you should calm yourself down over the next few days. You should think about it. After all, the issue still can be solved.”

Qin Sheng and Xue Qingyan looked at each other for a few seconds. After that, Qin Sheng said, “OK. I will think about it further.”

However, Qin Sheng had gotten quite a clear answer in his heart. He said so to stop Xue Qingyan from overthinking it. It was not until Xue Qingyan had left that Qin Sheng and Lin Su held each other’s hands tightly and went back home.

After they were at home, instead of bugging Qin Sheng, Lin Su asked him to take a shower and get himself changed first. After that, she ordered some takeout. After all, it was time for lunch now and Qin Sheng should be hungry.

By the time Qin Sheng finished taking a shower and got out, the takeout had arrived. Qin Sheng and Lin Su ate lunch first. They did not say anything at all while eating.

After they finished lunch, Lin Su went out to throw the garbage away. After she was back inside, she sat by Qin Sheng’s side, bit her lips, and said, “I am sorry.”

Qin Sheng pulled Lin Su into his arms and said, “Why are you apologizing to me? I know what you are going to say. I don’t want to blame anyone, including you and your family. It is just the reality. I can’t grumble against heaven and lay the blame upon others. All I can do is think about what should I do next.” He had known early on that the Lin family definitely would abandon him again after the accident had happened to him, which proved to be undeniable. Consequently, Lin Su had taken all the responsibilities on herself.

Lin Su did not lose her coolness yet. Moreover, Qin Sheng was still that sober. Consequently, she did not go on squabbling over this topic. Qin Sheng’s att.i.tude explained everything. It was useless for her to say anything further.

Lin Su lifted up her head, looked into Qin Sheng’s eyes, and said, “Do you really plan to leave Hangzhou?”

Qin Sheng nodded emphatically and said, “Yes. I have made up my mind. We should not stay in Hangzhou long. The sooner we leave here, the better it will be for us. I fear that if we continue to linger here, in the end, we’ll be unable to leave.”

Lin Su replied without any hesitation, “All right. I am on your side. Wherever you go, I will be by your side. Even if we need to keep our ident.i.ties hidden for the rest of our lives, I am OK with it.” The firm look in her eyes indicated that she had made up her mind to not abandon Qin Sheng and stick by his side through thick and thin for the rest of her life.

Qin Sheng was hesitant for a while. After that, he stroked Lin Su’s cheek gently, shook his head as he said, “You can’t leave with me this time.”

Upon hearing this sentence, Lin Su was at a loss subconsciously…
