Strongest Counterattack

Chapter 470 Going Against the Wind

It was Han Xu who had set up the trap the night before. However, what happened at the last moment had almost made everyone suffer losses. Of course, Han Xu was very unhappy. It had nothing to do with his dignity, so he sent people out during the night to find the man. It was clear that the man was a frequent visitor to the VICS pub, who also knew Little Bee. Han Xu thought that it shouldn’t be difficult to find him. However, the result turned out to be the opposite.

"Disappeared?" One of Han Xu’s classmates who had accompanied him the night before frowned when he heard the news. His name was Xu Yang, who came from Shenzhen. His father was a famous entrepreneur who was well-known for his metal trade. Although he was older than several of his classmates, including Qin Sheng, he was very polite and low-key.

Han Xu said thoughtfully, "Yes. He disappeared. I sent people out to search for him the whole night. Although they searched in many places, including his home and the places where he had visited frequently, they didn’t find him. Even his mobile phone had been turned off. They’re still looking for him."

Wei Li said calmly, "It’s somewhat abnormal."

Another classmate from Jiangsu asked, "Elder Han, any news from the sub-bureau?"

Han Xu replied honestly, "Up till now, the policemen still haven’t found anything out of the interrogation. they just insisted on saying that they had beaten the wrong person and it was just a misunderstanding." The group of people should be no more than insignificant underlings who must have been warned, so they probably couldn’t give any hints.

Xu Yang snorted and said, "These guys deserve to be dealt with harshly. If they keep their mouths shut, the policemen can’t do anything to them. F**k! We must vent our anger on them. If it hadn’t been for Lao Qin and his friend, all of us would have been injured last night."

Speaking of this, they expressed their gratitude to Qin Sheng in succession. Replying politely with a few words, Qin Sheng was still thinking about what had happened. Although it was just a petty conflict, it must have been carefully planned.

Han Xu said indignantly, "When they are released, I will find someone to deal with them. I don’t believe that I just can’t find out the mastermind behind the scene. It seems they thought everyone could bully me at will. I’m afraid they weren’t well-informed." It was clear that he would never let go of them easily if the truth didn’t come out in the end.

Wei Li said casually, "Elder Han, the way I see it, what happened last night seems to be a trap. How about you reorganize your thoughts? Did someone plan this to purposefully annoy you?"

Hearing Wei Li’s reminder, everyone on the scene looked at each other awkwardly. Qin Sheng said, "What Wei Li said makes sense. Last night, I felt that the whole process was too strange. The ending today further proved that my guessing was true. Han Xu, think about it… whom have you offended recently?"

Han Xu thought for a moment and said, "I’ll call my family members and ask them later."

The talk about the incident thus came to an end. At least Qin Sheng had no time to worry about it anymore. Maybe he had overthought it. These people should have intended to target Han Xu in the beginning. Anyway, sooner or later, the truth would be revealed.

He only needed to attend classes two days per week. Once the classes for the day were over, Qin Sheng’s academic study would come to an end. He had already booked a flight back to Xi’an and also informed Auntie Wang and Xin Xin in advance. Xin Xin was a junior college student in her second half-semester, who had to attend a lot of classes. So she could only ask for a few days off. After all, her father’s matter was more important than anything else.

Before the New Year Holiday, Qin Sheng had asked Auntie Wang to sort out all the relevant documents at that time to be directly sent to the Qin Family’s courtyard. After looking over all the documents, Qin Changan turned to a lot of his friends for consultation and suggestions. That was the reason why Qin Sheng had conjured a well-thought-out plan eventually. If it hadn’t been for Qin Changan’s connections, most of the people would have found out that this matter was quite difficult to handle, which did happen often in reality.

After the two classes were over, Han Xu insisted on treating his classmates with lunch as an apology, saying that everyone had been shocked the previous night and he did so to calm everyone down. Although his classmates said that it was just something trivial, Han Xu was persistent. Even Qin Sheng was unable to persuade him.

However, before they went out of the classroom, Qin Sheng received a phone call, which surprised him. That was because it was Song Ruyu who had called him. According to what she said, she happened to be at Qinghua since she had gone to deal with some business that day. At the moment she was in the School of Economics and Management, so she called Qin Sheng conveniently to see whether he was around. Knowing that Qin Sheng had just finished classes and intended to have lunch, Song Ruyu took the initiative to treat him with lunch, saying that she should thank him for having taken care of her in Shanghai.

Since Song Ruyu had said so, of course, Qin Sheng would not refuse her. Hence, he decisively abandoned Han Xu and his friends. Han Xu and others did not take it to heart. After all, it was Qin Sheng’s friend who had come to find him.

Song Ruyu waited for Qin Sheng at the ground floor of the building where the School of Economics and Management was based. She stood under the shade of a tree; she smiled and waved at Qin Sheng when she saw him exit the building with his classmates, including Han Xu and Wei Li. All them instantly understood why Qin Sheng had abandoned them. It turned out he had done so for the sake of his beautiful female friend. They all cursed Qin Sheng for putting gals before pals. Qin Sheng didn’t bother with them.

The crowd was amazed when they approached Song Ruyu. They admired her beauty, especially her graceful temperament. All of them greeted Song Ruyu with a smile.

"Lao Qin, why don’t you introduce her to us?" Xu Yang teased with a smile.

Qin Sheng said casually, "My friend, Song Ruyu."

"Hello," Song Ruyu greeted the crowd very generously.

They introduced themselves one after another. Han Xu said with a smile, "We finally see what she looks like. Lao Qin, you are so mean. Are you afraid that we will steal her away from you? That’s why you kept her from us, right?"

Qin Sheng smiled and cursed, "Get the hell out of here."

Xu Yang said playfully, "Lao Qin, don’t deny that she is your girlfriend. Otherwise, we will all get a chance."

Upon hearing this, Qin Sheng replied, "Xu Yang, don’t play tricks on her. Otherwise, you will regret it. Don’t come to me for help at that time."

Song Ruyu didn’t know what Qin Sheng’s words meant. She stared at Qin Sheng with a puzzled look on her face. If she knew Qin Sheng had tried to warn his friends about this beautiful girl’s brother who was not easy to deal with, she would not know whether to laugh or cry.

Qin Sheng’s classmates didn’t intend to act as the third wheel. They left after chatting for a while. As Song Ruyu and Qin Sheng walked side by side on the campus, they attracted the attention of countless people. Of course, Song Ruyu was more eye-catching.

Song Ruyu said casually, "Your classmates are quite interesting,"

Qin Sheng said happily, "They are all rich playboys. Their flirting skills are better than anyone else’s. Don’t be fooled by their hypocritical appearance."

Song Ruyu asked deliberately, "What about your own skills for picking up girls?"

Qin Sheng coughed awkwardly and almost blurted out that he wasn’t good at flirting with girls at all. Instead, it was the girls who had taken the initiative to hit on him. However, Song Ruyu’s straightforward question caught him off guard.

"It’s just a joke. Look at you." Song Ruyu covered her mouth. Then she smiled and added, "Well, I won’t tease you anymore. What do you want to eat? But the premise is that you can’t pick the things which are too expensive. I’m not as rich as you."

Qin Sheng was speechless for a moment. He said, "You’re not sincere at all. You don’t even give me a chance to rip you off. Forget it. Fortunately, I am not picky about food. I will spare you this time, just find a random restaurant."

Eventually, Song Ruyu decided to treat Qin Sheng with a bowl of Hot and Sour Rice Noodle. That was because she had passed by the establishment and couldn’t move for a while. She had only whispered, "I haven’t eaten Hot and Sour Rice Noodles in a long time."

Of course, Qin Sheng knew what Song Ruyu was thinking about. After all, he knew that she didn’t like those formal dishes in Shanghai; she was a person who preferred all kinds of snacks humbler meals instead. So Qin Sheng could only reply, "Then let’s have lunch there. It’s my treat this time. Next time, you can treat me with something better."

Song Ruyu promised without hesitation, "Sure."

There were lots of students from nearby universities in the Hot and Sour Rice Noodle store. Its flavor should be very good. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be overflowing with guests. Song Ruyu naturally became the focus of attention when she entered the place. After all, it was quite eye-catching for such a beautiful woman to eat at the Hot and Sour Rice Noodle restaurant.

Song Ruyu asked casually, "Has Uncle Qin been fine recently?"

The look on Qin Sheng’s face changed slightly. He knew that Song Ruyu was not an ordinary woman. On the contrary, she was

Qin Sheng said truthfully, "Quite busy. Extremely busy. He comes back home quite late every night."

Song Ruyu said thoughtfully, "My grandfather said that Uncle Qin has experienced a lot of ups and downs. He should still be safe this time. He’ll overcome these difficulties sooner or later."

If it were others saying so, they might be comforting Qin Sheng. However, Qin Sheng knew that Song Ruyu’s words might have other hidden meanings. Qin Sheng guessed that she might hint that the matter this time was not as serious as he thought.

All of a sudden, Qin Sheng felt that he could confide something to Song Ruyu. He didn’t know why he had felt that way. After all, they had not known each other for a long time.

Qin Sheng complained, "Ruyu, everyone told me that the Qin Family was in trouble. Given that all my family members are occupied, I can’t help them with anything at all. Although I know it is true that I’m useless, this kind of feeling still makes me ill at ease. If you were in my position, what would you do?"

Song Ruyu could tell from the look in Qin Sheng’s eyes that he had been troubled by this kind of feeling for a long time. After thinking for a while, she said, "You also know that you can’t help them with anything. In that case, how about you accomplish what you should do perfectly? If your family members need your help, I think Uncle Qin will surely let you know. After all, you are his son by blood."

Qin Sheng sighed and said, "Ugh. I feel somewhat powerless. I don’t like it."

Song Ruyu said gently, "I have seen a lot of rich playboys. Some are free and easy-going and some others are sophisticated and shrewd. However, none of them can set their minds at ease. Young people are all impetuous. And people say that the young are destined to be like that. In fact, at times like this, you should go against the wind so that you can overcome all the obstacles in your mind. Settle down and work hard to enrich yourself. That way you will be able to make a stand without hesitation, if the day comes when your help is urgently needed. However, if you don’t change the way you feel now, you can only fall into a dilemma, which will only make everyone feel concerned for you."

As Qin Sheng heard the words "go against the wind’, he seemed to be somewhat enlightened. Even so, he still couldn’t find the key.

Qin Sheng said somewhat distressedly, "I have been thinking about ways to calm myself down. But so many things have happened recently. The more eagerly I try to calm myself down, the more upset I am."

Song Ruyu chuckled and said, "Sometimes, if I’m annoyed. I will just stand on the busiest street and feel the hustle and bustle surrounding me, observing how everyone feels and what they are talking about. At last, my mind will gradually be at ease. How about you give it a try?"

Qin Sheng asked curiously, "Does it work?"

Song Ruyu smiled bitterly and said, "It works for me. I don’t know if it’ll make an impact on you. You can try it first."

Qin Sheng nodded.

At that time, the Hot and Sour Rice Noodles were served. Qin Sheng stopped talking about his troubles. As the saying goes, filling the stomach is the right thing to do. He should do as Song Ruyu said and accomplish what he should do perfectly.

Song Ruyu asked casually, "Has Uncle Qin been fine recently?"

The look on Qin Sheng’s face changed slightly. He knew that Song Ruyu was not an ordinary woman. On the contrary, she was smarter than most women. Her wits were equal to wisdom, rather than petty tricks. So it was obvious that her words had some hidden meanings.

Qin Sheng said truthfully, "Quite busy. Extremely busy. He comes back home quite late every night."

Song Ruyu said thoughtfully, "My grandfather said that Uncle Qin has experienced a lot of ups and downs. He should still be safe this time. He’ll overcome these difficulties sooner or later."
