Strongest Counterattack Chapter 313 - Just So-So

Third Master Wu had always been extremely careful with each step on the road of his life, and had never made any big mistakes. There was no doubt that Third Master Wu was a capable person, as well as a lucky dog. Third Master Wu always thought over and over, and then made the wisest choice. But this time, it was out of everyone’s expectation that Qin Sheng, who was a n.o.body from the western region and wanted to become a somebody in the coastal area, was supported by such a big shot, let alone he had been targeted by others several times. Third Master Wu was ignorant this time.

After the meeting with Third Master Wu, Luo Changgong then left Mount Putuo for Hangzhou. Mr. Chu had informed him how to contact the Yan Family. Yan Chaozong was limited to move and was staying in Shanghai. He was not allowed to join in this incident. The Old Monk had appointed Li Qingfeng to take charge of the business of the Qu Family. Representatives from the Qu, Yan, and Wu families would meet the next morning to make the most perfect plan.

Qin Sheng was a common person who could be killed by anyone they appointed. But considering Qin Sheng’s ability in kung fu, his capable friends, and, the most crucial, the unknown big shots supporting him, if their action were to become known by others, they would be pushed into a pa.s.sive position.

Mr. Chu and Luo Changgong went back to Hangzhou together, but in different cars. Two disciples followed Mr. Chu on the way. They had followed him to stay at Mount Putuo for more than three years. They both had good personalities of being calm and hard-working, so they learned a lot from Mr. Chu.

Mr. Chu didn’t take this thing as a big deal. But he was interested in Chang Baji, who was highly thought of by Luo Changgong and Yang Deng, and he wished to see Chang Baji’s strength. After all, he had been living in seclusion at Mount Putuo for a long time, knowing little about the changes happening outside. Among his rivals in Zhejiang Province, some of them had become civil servants, not involved in these businesses, while others had left this field. It had been a long time since he had taken any action. This journey to Hangzhou would be interesting since this rival’s competence had been praised so much by Boss Hu.

The driver was driving at relatively slow speed, while Luo Changgong was leaning in the backseat. His answer just now was decisive, for he knew what kind of person the Third Master was. If not, the Third Master would have given this task to others without hesitation. He was not the only one who was able to perform this task. There were a lot of people who wished to start or develop their business in Shanghai.

The Third Master was taking a risk, and he was taking the most risks among everyone. Once this plan was known or if it failed, there was no doubt that he would be the one blamed by others. Luo Changgong thought he would pay a lot to start his business in Shanghai, or he might lose everything even before he started.

At the same time, Master Liu and his underlings would stop their cooperation with him and Xue Qingyan would keep making trouble for him. He was afraid of not Master Liu, but the Xue Family. Although Xue Qingyan was a woman, she was really powerful, adding that the Xue Family had taken root in Zhejiang Province and Xue Qingyan’s brother had been transferred to Shanghai. If one day Xue Qingyan wanted to make any trouble for him, it would be hard for him to react.

This was such an awkward situation. What could he do?

Qin Sheng was at the Binjiang Golden Coast. He knew that there were a lot of troubles around, but he had no idea of the pressure of this case. Qin Sheng was half-surprised and half-unfortunate to find that the three big families had made so much effort to fight against such a small potato like him.

After a daily routine at home, Qin Sheng went for a stroll with Lin Su in the community where they lived. He didn’t dare to go to the riverside, which was dangerous. He would never risk his life since someone might attack him from behind.

It was a rainy day in autumn and the rain finally stopped at dusk. The puddles on the road and the leaves that fell the lawn from the wind and rain could be seen in the dim light of street lamps. Qin Sheng’s and Lin Su’s moods were like this bleak season with no flowers booming. Occasionally, some stray cats and dogs wandered around, bringing about a sense of vitality.

Qin Sheng and Lin Su were wandering slowly. After all, it was the first time that they had s.e.x, so Lin Su felt a little uncomfortable. But due to several hours rest, she felt much better. It was cold outside so they both wore warm clothes. Lin Su held Qin Sheng’s arm and Qin Sheng put his hands in the pockets. They just wandered on and on with no destination, talking and laughing at interesting things happening recently and silly mistakes that they had made when they were young.

The scene was just like the lyrics in Zhao Lei’s song, Chengdu. Chengdu was the name of the city where Qin Sheng and Lin Su got to know each other. Lin Su laughed and said that they had to travel to the city again in the future.

When it was about 10 o’clock, they went back home, taking a shower and going to bed. Qin Sheng just lay and embraced Lin Su, saying nothing. It took a long time for them to fall asleep.

In the early morning, at 9 o’clock, Qin Sheng saw Lin Su off from the Golden Coast. Lin Changhe waited at the gate of the community. Qin Sheng called Lin Changhe last night to ask him to take Lin Su back to Ningbo. Lin Changhe was surprised and asked if Lin Su had agreed. Qin Sheng told him she had agreed, which made Lin Changhe think more highly of Qin Sheng then. After all, if he forced Lin Su to leave, she would never agree to go. So Qin Sheng must have persuaded Lin Su to leave. “Qin Sheng is a thoughtful and capable man, but unfortunately, unlucky,” he thought.

Lin Su only took a suitcase containing some clothes and books, as well as the calligraphy work “Ode to the G.o.ddess in Luo” written for her by Qin Sheng. She didn’t take anything else because the Lin Family would prepare other things for her.

At the gate of the community, Lin Changhe stood in front of his Bentley and was sorry to say, “Qin Sheng, please don’t blame me and the Lin Family. We don’t have another way.”

It was an old reason that Qin Sheng had gotten used to. It was incredibly difficult to ask the Lin Family for help. He laughed and shook his head. “I won’t blame anyone for this.”

“You don’t have to worry about Lin Su, I’ll take good care of her,” Lin Changhe said honestly. He wanted to add: “If you can pick up Lin Su from the Lin Family formally, I’ll welcome it no matter what other people say.” But he didn’t put these words out there finally. Apart from it being a possibility, he didn’t want Lin Su to feel sad.

Qin Sheng smiled and said, “Thank you, Second Uncle.”

“We’re leaving. Best wishes to you.” Lin Changhe patted Qin Sheng’s shoulder. He didn’t say goodbye, for he feared that this would be the last time.

Qin Sheng nodded and said, “Thanks.”

Lin Su stood beside and said nothing. She was quite tough today, with no red eyes or tears. She didn’t want her tears to deepen Qin Sheng’s sad feelings of their parting.

Qin Sheng was staring at Lin Su with gentleness, and love filled his eyes. Lin Su hugged Qin Sheng’s waist, with her face in his chest. Qin Sheng patted her back to comfort her and said, “Trust me. You won’t wait for long.”

“Emm, I’ll wait for you… always,” Lin Su said and smiled.

Qin Sheng lowered his head and kissed Lin Su’s forehead. He said, “You’d better go now, or I’ll never let you go.”

“OK.” Lin Su nodded. She then got in the car but turned around to look at Qin Sheng several times.

Lin Changhe nodded to Qin Sheng and got in the car as well. He said to the driver in a low voice, “Let’s go.”

Lin Su smiled and waved her hand to Qin Sheng from the car window and Qin Sheng waved back to her. When the Bentley slowly started, Lin Su just turned her head back and didn’t dare to look at Qin Sheng anymore. She was afraid that she couldn’t hold in her feelings and might burst into an emotional flood. The only thing she could do now was avoid looking at Qin Sheng.

When the Bentley was about to turn, Lin Su couldn’t help turning back to look, knowing that it was her last chance. She saw a vague figure standing there, waving to her.

Lin Su finally burst into a tearful cry. But she tried her best to swallow the crying sound by biting her lower lip, making it bleed.

Lin Su had left. Qin Sheng was deep in sorrow like the cloudy weather now in Hangzhou. Lin Su had been with him for almost a year. If he had another way, he would have never allowed Lin Su to leave.

But Qin Sheng had to hide his gloomy mood. Two Mercedes approached. They stopped, waiting for Qin Sheng to get in, and then left for the local Public Security Bureau to pick up Chang Baji, Hao Lei, and the others.

On the opposite side of the road, a minivan was parked, in which Zhuang Zhou was sitting, having seen what happened just now. He knew more than anyone about the things between Qin Sheng and Lin Su, fully understanding how true and loyal their relationship was. When Qin Sheng got hurt, it was Lin Su who took care of him day and night for six months until he recovered. Zhuang Zhou couldn’t help sighing. If Qin Changan allowed him to appear and help, Qin Sheng would not have faced so many troubles. But after overcoming all those difficulties, he would harvest a promising future. After all, Qin Sheng had to go back to the Qin Family sooner or later.

“I never expect that our Young Master would be lovesick,” a charming young lady said and smiled, sitting beside Zhuang Zhou. She had beautiful eyebrows with a thin leaf shape and eyes as lovely as a pink peach flower, but her stare was filled with a murderous look. Her smile and figure were so amazing that any male pa.s.sers-by would be attracted to stop for her. But her charisma had hidden her incredible ability to do martial arts.

She was the Foster Daughter of Qin Changan. Her last name was Nan Gong, and only a few people knew her full name. She only told others her last name.

It was quite weird to see that a middle-aged man and an extremely charming young woman were sitting side by side in a minivan.

Zhuang Zhou heard this. He smiled and said, “Well, what do you think of our Young Master?”

“Just so-so,” Nan Gong said straightforwardly.

Zhuang Zhou said with a laugh, “Anyway, he will be your husband sooner or later.”

Nan Gong said nothing. Since she was adopted by the Qin Family, she was destined to marry this man and she never thought about refusing, for she never cared about who she would marry. But she still felt disappointed when she met the man since he was not as perfect as she expected.

Zhuang Zhou found that Nan Gong’s mind was wandering. He laughed and said, “Don’t think about this anymore. Let’s go. Our enemies have left.”

Nan Gong came to her senses. She almost forgot that she was appointed to Hangzhou to protect her future husband, the son of her Foster Father.
