Chapter 127 Ye Qian, You really disappoint me
Even though the Seven Kills withdrew because they lost the wager to Ye Qian, Zhao Tian Yao’s opponent was still not simple. This indirectly confirmed that Zhao Tian Hao himself was no ordinary businessman. Of course the reason the Seven Kills withdrew wasn’t just because they lost to Ye Qian’s wager, the biggest reason was because Zhao Tian Hao did not fit into their Seven Kills Doctrine.
Ye Qian secretly scolded by himself. He should have thought this earlier.
Zhao Ya vacantly shook her head when she heard this question. She said, “I don’t know.” It could be said that Zhao Ya knew nothing about the Tian Ya Conglomerate’s business. She had no knowledge about her father’s activities. In her impression, her father was only an ordinary simple businessman.
“Uncle Zhao was one of the Hongmen’s leaders.” Qin Yue said it slowly.
Ye Qian only stared a little blankly, not expressing that big of a surprise “Shanghai is really such an stormy place.” He exclaimed.
Hu Ke smiled and said, “A stormy place isn’t bad, but it is also the burial ground for heros. Right now the big three conglomerate have a very subtle relationship. On the surface, everything looks calm, but it is understood by everybody that this peace is only temporary. A fight could erupt between the three any moment. Naturally, a particular group of people would find this a great opportunity, but at the same time it also a danger. An all-out war between the three would bound to be a disaster.
There was silence for moment, then Qin Yue said, “The conflict between the Hongmen and the Qing Gang is getting more intense. Not long ago, Uncle Zhang Qian said that the Qing Gang are about to formally declare war against them.” Her eyes turned to Ye Qian and she said, “Ye Qian, aren’t you curious about my ident.i.ty? Today I’ll tell you the truth. I’m the Hongmen’s Leader Qin Tian’s eldest daughter.”
“Si…”, Ye Qian couldn’t help breathing in a mouthful of cold air.. He already knew that Qin Yue’s ident.i.ty was not simple, but to hear that she was the Eldest Daughter and heiress of the Hongmen made him inevitably shocked. Ye Qian had an understanding of how large the power of the Hongmen was. In the Chinatown in the States, the Hongmen had huge power. It never occurred to him that Qin Yue would be the heiress of the underworld.
Hu Ke understood clearly about Qin Yue’s ident.i.ty and was not surprised. Then Ye Qian suddenly realized something and asked in a flurry, “Earlier tonight there were two people that said their boss wanted to see me at the school gate. Could it have been your father?”
Qin Yue stared, thinking that it was quite possible. Qin Feng that blabbermouth, most likely he had spread the news everywhere about her and Ye Qian’s matters, even Zhang Qiang knew about it, her own father would naturally know too “I don’t know. However, I know the owner of the car that you’ve stolen.”
Ye Qian smiled ashamedly and said, “The situation was urgent. Haha I’m was worrying about returning the car to its owner. Since you know the person, why not help me to apologize?”
“Uncle Zhang won"t’ blame you sight.” Qin Yue said indifferently. “Ye Qian, if the war between the Hongmen and the Qing Gang were to start, what would you do?””
“Do you want to hear the truth or the lie?” Ye Qian asked indifferently.
“Of course, I want the truth.” Qin Yue replied.
Ye Qian shrugged and said, “Based on our relationship I have to stand by you. But speaking truthfully, if the Hongmen and the Qing Gang start a war, I would sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Whoever wins or loses is not a disadvantage to me, there would actually be more advantages. I think you all most have secretly looked into my ident.i.ty? But until now you haven’t found anything, you all have suspicions about my ident.i.ty. That’s right, I’m not just an ordinary bodyguard, my objective is not just to eat, to drink, and to die. But don’t worry; I do not have any evil intention and never looked into your ident.i.ties. Therefore you don’t have to worry that I got close to you for some evil reason. In a selfish way, whether it is the Hongmen or the Qing Gang, they have no relationship with me. Even they will fight up to the end, I will not meddle. Instead, I’ll fire up the fuel no matter which side wins. Both sides undoubtedly will be damaged that’ll give me an advantage.”
Ye Qian’s words were indeed true. Qin Yue, together with those two, also believed that from where Ye Qian was standing, if the Qing Gang and the Hongmen started battle, there would be a lot of advantages for him.
Hu Ke smiled faintly and said, “Ye Qian, your are thinking too simply. Do you know how large the influence of the Hongmen and the Qing Gang are in China? Do you know what will happen if both sides were to go to war? Any country’s underground powers and government have a complementary relationship. The Qing Gang and the Hongmen both control a large part of China’s power, if both side start a war, neither side will win. This will be equivalent to giving the other powers an opportunity, the various small and large powers within the country would surely emerge one by one, in the chaos the foreign powers will also take advantage of the opportunity. And because the Qing Gang and the Hongmen strength will have suffered they will have no choice but to let it all happen. Ye Qian, do you know that it will be like this?”
Ye Qian shrugged and said, “What does this have to do with me?”
Hu Ke’s eyebrows slightly wrinkled. Her face somewhat became ugly. She stood up and looked at him. “I misjudged you!” After speaking, she went upstairs without looking back.
Ye Qian became distressed. His eyes looked innocently upon her back. He muttered, “But it never had anything to do with me.” He indeed was not the hero of the country. These things were not his concern, as long as it was not cardinal, not involving national dignity and threats. Why did he have to manage how much the underground fought between themselves??
Zhao Ya stared at him and said, “This is bad. You made Ke’er jiejie angry.”
Qin Yue shook her head helplessly. “Ye Qian, I know you’re not that kind of person.” She said.
Ye Qian glanced and smiled. He was too lazy to worry about the state affairs which he should not be anxious about. All he could do was to protect his friends and his own relatives, as long as they were being unharmed. As for those foreign invasion, he would not care about it.
