Strongest Counterattack

Chapter 423 Who on Earth Was She?

For Qin Sheng and Lao Chang, seeing each other alive again was a kind of blessing.

What had happened that night in Huang Mei Town should be the most dangerous thing that they had experienced in those years. Of course, what Qin Sheng had experienced in Mount Jiuhua that time should not be counted. Without Zhuang Zhou and Nan Gong, Qin Sheng would have died that night. If Mr. Chu, who had known clearly that even if he hurt his enemies, he would also be badly injured, had not decided to put an end to the attack, Lao Chang might have stayed there that night. After all, Qin Sheng had been the target of the attack that night and Lao Chang had been insignificant. However, even so, they had paid a great price for it, which was the life of Gu Qingyang.

As Qin Sheng and Chang Baji saw each other again after more than two months, both of them sighed continuously, feeling emotional. After Chang Baji had come back from the northeast, he had called Hao Lei first to inquire about the news of Qin Sheng. After all, Qin Sheng had been completely uncontactable after he had gone to Tsingtao, which had made Chang Baji feel pretty concerned about him. If there had not been any news about Qin Sheng, Chang Baji would have gone to Tsingtao in person to search for him.

Fortunately, Qin Sheng was safe and sound in the end. However, Chang Baji was confused about many things that Hao Lei had told him, including the news that Qin Sheng had found his family members.

Admittedly, if people saw two muscular men hugging each other intimately at the entrance of the high-cla.s.s housing estate, people would overthink it. Since Chang Baji was a straight man, who acted righteously and had a clear s.e.xual orientation, he was somewhat unaccustomed to Qin Sheng’s behavior.

Consequently, Chang Baji pushed Qin Sheng away as he said, “That’s enough. Since we are in broad daylight, let’s not change the ethos of our society.”

Qin Sheng laughed out loud as he said, “Lao Chang, when did you become so pretentious? As long as we are happy, why do we need to care about how other people will think of us? Moreover, we haven’t seen each other for more than two months. Aren’t you excited at all?”

Chang Baji said disapprovingly, “I remember you didn’t act so excitedly last time after we hadn’t seen each other for half a year.” However, as he observed Qin Sheng’s state, he found that Qin Sheng was no longer the dejected person whom he had seen when he left Huang Mei Town. It was obvious that Qin Sheng had experienced a lot of good things during this period.

Since Lao Chang realized what had happened to Qin Sheng, he stared at Qu Han from behind, who had gone far away, and said, “Tell me honestly who the beauty is. Could she be your new girlfriend? To be honest, you are somewhat fast at abandoning the old for the new. You should feel sorry about Lin Su.”

Qin Sheng punched Lao Chang’s chest directly and said, “Don’t be confused by who I’m with. She is the daughter of the elder whom I visited today. She happened to walk me out conveniently. That’s it. Let’s stop teasing each other and find somewhere to chit-chat.”

What Lao Chang had said was just a joke. He did not believe that Qin Sheng had forgotten Lin Su that easily. To be honest, Lin Su was far more beautiful than the pretty girl he had seen a moment ago.

They found a random cafe nearby, sat down, and started talking about what had happened recently. Qin Sheng explained to Chang Baji what had happened to him simply without a detailed explanation. Compared with what Qin Sheng had experienced during this period, Chang Baji’s life had been far simpler. He had focused on recovering from his injuries and learning new skills.

After the battle in Huang Mei Town, Chang Baji had been indeed seriously injured. However, meanwhile, he had known that it was true that n.o.body could be the best. Since he had not been capable enough, he should not blame others. Consequently, Lao Chang had taken advantage of this period of time to keep searching for the masters. Fortunately, he had been lucky enough to find a master that specialized in internal style boxing on Changbai Mountain, who had happened to be somewhat connected to his own master. As a result, he had stayed there for the past two months.

After Chang Baji heard Qin Sheng out, he said astoundedly, “So do you mean that they had been protecting you in the dark and they had known everything that had happened to you over the last two years, including the history of kindness and the grudge between you and Yan Chaosong’s group?” What Qin Sheng had said was beyond his imagination and somewhat incomprehensible.

Qin Sheng said slowly, “I didn’t believe it either. However, reality proved it to be the case. They had kept many things from me, including what had happened in Xiamen and what had happened between me and Cao Da. They had arranged them for me. Isn’t it somewhat funny?”

Chang Baji said thoughtfully, “In this case, your family members are quite sophisticated.” What the Qin Family had done for Qin Sheng could not be done by an ordinary family. They had refrained from reconciling with Qin Sheng for two years. Meanwhile, they had witnessed how Qin Sheng had been bullied by various enemies. As Chang Baji pondered it, he could not help thinking of Old Master Qin.

It was not convenient for Qin Sheng to confess some things to Chang Baji, including who his father was, who his uncle was, and what kind of social status his Small Uncle was holding in Shanghai now.

Qin Sheng replied honestly, “Indeed, they are not ordinary at all. However, to me, what they did for me has its pros and cons. Generally, it did more good to me than harm. That is because only with this layer of ident.i.ty can I get back at my enemies sooner and do more things.”

Chang Baji nodded quietly and said, “What you said makes sense since these things had belonged to you originally, and you were supposed to have a life like that. Though G.o.d had made fun of you, anyway, you will be back to the right track.”

What Chang Baji said made sense. At any rate, the final result would be still the same.

Chang Baji asked with concern, “Since you are back now, based on what you said, you can deal with Yan Chaozong’s group members directly. So when do you plan to get back at them?” Now he finally understood why his master had asked him to stand by Qin Sheng’s side at the time. It was clear that his master had known many things, which he had kept from him. Fortunately, he had persisted in backing Qin Sheng up instead of giving him up on him.

Qin Sheng sneered and said, “I am already working on it.”

As Chang Baji stared at him strangely, Qin Sheng told him that he had run into Gu Xiaobo yesterday, adding that he had sent someone to keep track of Gu Xiaobo in secret. After Chang Baji heard the name Gu Xiaobo, he changed the look on his face all of a sudden. The intention to kill showed up in his eyes clearly.

Chang Baji sneered and said, “I notified my Senior Brother about what Gu Xiaobo had done before the New Year Holiday. According to my Senior Brother, Gu Xiaobo is at my disposal. If I am not willing to deal with Gu Xiaobo in person, my Senior Brother will get the sect cleaned up by himself. Consequently, it won’t take us long to end Gu Xiaobo’s happy life.” Chang Baji thought that he did not need to be polite to this kind of sc.u.mbag in his sect.

Qin Sheng took a sip of coffee and asked, “What do you plan to do?”

“If we allow him to live on, this kind of sc.u.mbag has nothing to do but harm more people. Consequently, he has no other choice but to die,” Chang Baji said slowly. “However, I won’t let him die with ease.”

It was clear that Chang Baji had a plan for how he should deal with Gu Xiaobo. Consequently, Qin Sheng said, “Then we don’t need to act impulsively. Let him enjoy his life for a few more days. It just so happened that you were here. Come to the Lin Family with me tomorrow. We should visit the Lin Family first.”

Chang Baji said with great interest, “Then the scene should be very interesting.”

Since time was up, Qin Sheng should go back to the elder’s house, lest the elder think little of him. However, he wondered what he should do with Lao Chang. After all, he could not just abandon Lao Chang here alone.

Consequently, Qin Sheng thought of Xia Ding and wondered if that guy was still in Shanghai. Originally, he had planned to meet Xia Ding again after he came back from Ningbo. However, since Lao Chang had arrived in Shanghai all of a sudden, Qin Sheng had no choice but to change his plan.

Back when Qin Sheng had been in Beijing last time, he had gotten the contact number of Xia Ding and Lao Si from Cao Yufeng. At this moment, he directly dialed Xia Ding’s mobile number. The call was picked up soon.

Xia Ding, who was still cynical, asked casually, “Who’s speaking?” At this moment, he was troubled at home because he had been treated the same way as Qin Sheng. Several beautiful girls had been at his home, who turned out to the daughters of his so-called uncles. His mother had been so happy that she had almost chosen a wife for him on the scene by herself. However, Xia Ding did not like these girls at all. Since he had seen so many beautiful girls, he thought that these girls who were in his home now were boring.

Qin Sheng replied half-playfully, “Me, your master.”

As Xia Ding, who had been in a bad mood, heard what Qin Sheng said, he became angry in an instant. He wondered who the f**k on earth had dared to tease him. However, following that, Xia Ding came to him senses since he had recognized this familiar voice. He became surprised as well as happy as he said, “F**k. Big Boss, you were f**king willing to contact me in the end. If you still didn’t contact me, I would’ve rushed to Beijing to search for you.”

Qin Sheng replied somewhat surprisedly, “Well. It seems that you got my news from Lao Er. However, because I hadn’t called you, I am surprised that you are not angry at all. Well done, well done. You are somewhat better at controlling your temper.”

Xia Ding, who did not care about what Qin Sheng had said, replied, “We are tight. I guess you must have been quite occupied. To be honest, I didn’t have time for you either. Tell me how I can help you. Since you called me all of a sudden, you are not here to catch up with me. I just sensed it instinctively.”

Qin Sheng asked casually, “Where are you now?”

Xia Ding let out a sigh and said, “Shanghai. Our family celebrated the Spring Festival in Shanghai this year. That’s it. I am almost bored to death. When will you come to Shanghai to have fun with me? Or should I ask Lao Si to go to Beijing with me to visit you and Lao Er?”

Qin Sheng said flatly, “I am in Shanghai right now.”

Xia Ding, who did not believe what Qin Sheng had said, replied disdainfully, “Don’t talk big anymore. I know everything about you. Do you dare to come back to Shanghai?”

Qin Sheng, who did not bother to explain to him, said solemnly, “I won’t talk nonsense with you. Believe it or not, I am in Shanghai. Right now, I am with Lao Chang, who just arrived in Shanghai. I have a mission for you. Since I need to attend to other issues later, how about you accompany Lao Chang? I will go to your place after I am done with my obligations.”

“F**k. Is it true?” Xia Ding still did not believe what Qin Sheng said. He thought, “What the h.e.l.l! If it turns out that Qin Sheng is in Shanghai now, I should inform Great Beauty Han in a hurry.” After all, Han Bing had often given him a treat.

Qin Sheng, who was speechless, said, “When did you become so naggy? Lao Chang will call you later so that you can communicate with each other. I gotta go now.”

Before Xia Ding, who was still confused, came to his senses, Qin Sheng had hung up the phone. Xia Ding had no choice but to mumble to himself as he said, “All right, all right, all right. Since you are my Big Boss, I will believe your words temporarily.”

After Qin Sheng hung up the phone, he stood up, said goodbye to Lao Chang, and explained to him about what had happened in detail. Lao Chang, who did not give a d.a.m.n about these trifles at all, said smilingly that they should have a good night of drinking.

After Qin Sheng parted with Lao Chang, he called Wu Han, who said she was on her way back home. By the time Qin Sheng got back to the entrance of the housing estate, Wu Han had been waiting there. It turned out that instead of going far away, she had been reading in a nearby bookstore, waiting for Qin Sheng’s call.

Wu Han smiled gently and asked, “Are you done?”

Qin Sheng replied shyly, “Sorry for keeping you waiting long.”

Wu Han shrugged and said, “I have nothing to do. I went out with you to avoid various questions from my father and mother.”

As Wu Han’s parents saw them coming back to the villa while talking smilingly with each other, they were very happy. They said through smiles, “We were just discussing if we should call you. Where have you been?”

Wu Han explained to them casually and convinced them so Qin Sheng would not reveal himself. Anyway, she was familiar with how to deal with her parents.

After Qin Sheng and Qin Ran had lunch, they left. Anyone could tell that Wu Han’s parents thought highly of Qin Sheng. Anyway, Qin Sheng was Qin Changan’s son. If this marriage could be made, the relationship between their respective families would be much closer.

However, it was destined that their wish would not come true. Firstly, Qin Sheng had a girlfriend. And even if he did not have a girlfriend, Song Ruyu, who had a prenatal betrothal with Qin Sheng, was there. How could Wu Han compare with the Song Family?

Qin Sheng and Qin Ran visited two other families in the afternoon. In the end, they visited the Golf Club in Sheshan. By the time they were done, it was eight o’clock. During this period, Xia Ding had called Qin Sheng, asking him if he would come to his house for dinner. Qin Sheng had given him a negative answer. Originally, he could have finished his obligations earlier. However, the elder with his son and son-in-law insisted on drinking with Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng ended up drinking half a kilo of liquor with them.

It was not until the party came to an end that Qin Sheng headed for No.1 Zhong Liang Ocean View. Before Qin Ran parted with him, she walked him downstairs. However, she had reminded Qin Sheng that he should try his best to drink less. Otherwise, their grandma would be concerned about him.

When Qin Sheng walked to the entrance of Xia Ding’s house, before he pressed the doorbell, the door had been pulled open from the inside. Qin Sheng, who was dizzy, did not even have time to see who it was; an elegant, beautiful, attractive girl hugged and kissed Qin Sheng directly.

Qin Sheng, who was speechless in an instant, wondered who on earth the girl was.
