Chapter 318 Run for His Life
As for who would deal with Qin Sheng, Third Master Wu sent Luo Changgong out and Old Monk let Li Qingfeng be in charge of it. On the Yan Family’s side, a trusted subordinate and valuable assistant of Second Uncle Yan named Hu Lan would be in charge. Hu Lan was a man who had been fighting for 15 years all the way from Inner Mongolia to Shanghai. Meanwhile, Yan Chaozong had sent Feng He to cooperate with Hu Lan, as Yan Chaozong and Qu Huanxi, who had been the leading roles originally, were excluded. All they needed to do was wait for the update and that was all.
Nobody believed that Qin Sheng could still be so damn lucky again when facing such powerful opponents.
At this moment, Hu Lan and Feng He were in the villa in Hangzhou. When they saw Gu Xiaobo’s location show up in the Golden Coast on the map, Feng He frowned as he said, “Uncle Lan, could it be that this lad pulled a fast one on us?”
“The way I see it, he is not that daring yet. Since we offered an eye-catching bargaining chip, nobody will choose to be a fugitive for the sake of Qin Sheng as long as he is normal. Plus, his girlfriend is in our hands. I don’t believe that he dares to play dirty.” Hu Lan was a middle-aged man in his 40s who was almost the same as most of the men in the north. Besides having a thick, powerful, and flexible back and shoulders, he was 190 centimeters tall. However, most of the people would be deceived by his appearance, thinking of him as a foolhardy coward. As a matter of fact, he was pretty sophisticated, experienced, and smart. In these years, he had contributed a lot to the Yan Family. Even Feng He, who was proud and arrogant, addressed him as Uncle Lan. Obviously, this man was highly respected in the Yan Family.
Feng He felt suspicious and asked, “When he picked up the phone a moment ago, saying it was Chang Baji, who had asked him to go home, why does he show up in the Golden Coast again? In fact, Qin Sheng is not in the Golden Coast at all. At this moment, he should be on his way to Long Jing Village. Is it possible that he would never show up there?”
Hu Lan thought for a while. After that, he ordered right away as he said, “Call the underlings who have been watching over Qin Sheng in the Golden Coast. I will call Luo Changgong right away and confirm whether Qin Sheng has left or not.”
A few minutes later, both of them came back after making a call. Feng He frowned as he said, “Uncle Lan, according to the information gathered from the Golden Coast, Qin Sheng did not ever go out. Three cars had gone into the underground garage directly, which are all parked downstairs at this moment. The group with Chang Baji and Gu Xiaobo should be in the cars.”
“Luo Changgong called Qin Sheng, who did not pick up his call. Something is wrong. This lad is going to run away.” Hu Lan realized that something had gone wrong. As a result, he ordered immediately and said, “Feng He, take some people there right now. I will work out a solution with Luo Changgong and Li Qingfeng. Let’s keep in touch.”
Feng He nodded and said, “All right. I am leaving now.” After that, he led some people to the Golden Coast immediately.
On Luo Changgong’s side, he felt somewhat at ease since Qin Sheng had not picked up his call. Obviously, Qin Sheng had been informed. However, even so, both the Yan Family and the Qu Family would work out relative solutions. How should Qin Sheng deal with them?
In the Golden Coast, by the time Chang Baji and Hao Lei walked into Qin Sheng’s house, Qin Sheng had been waiting for quite a long time. He planned to take the necessities, such as his wallet, mobile, and so on. As for other things, he would leave them here. Since it was Uncle Zhuang who had rent this house for him, at that time, if his things needed to be dealt with, Uncle Zhuang definitely would help them tidy up their stuff.
After Chang Baji walked into the apartment, he asked directly, “Did you pack up all the stuff?”
Qin Sheng eyed both of them up and down with great interest and said, “I have few things to pack up.” Both Chang Baji and Hao Lei were dressed in the same clothing. Besides wearing hoodies, they also had hats and masks on. Consequently, their identities simply could not be revealed. If they had not removed their masks, Qin Sheng would not have been able to tell them apart at all.
Chang Baji threw the bag in his hands directly to Qin Sheng and said, “Get changed and we will leave here right away. I will tell you the detailed plan and other things later.”
It was not until Qin Sheng took the clothing from the bag thoughtfully that he finally understood why Chang Baji was dressed the same as Hao Lei. It was because the clothing Chang Baji had given Qin Sheng also looked the same. Of course, Qin Sheng knew why Chang Baji had made such an arrangement. His strategy was the same as the Shadow Splitting Trick performed by Naruto in the Japanese comic Hokage. He did so to confuse their enemies on purpose so that the enemies would not know who the real Qin Sheng was.
Several minutes later, Qin Sheng changed his clothes. They put on hats and masks at the same time. Except for Chang Baji, who was somewhat shorter, they looked almost the same.
After they looked at each other for a while, Chang Baji said in a deep voice, “Let’s go.” By the time they were ready to set out, Chang Baji had told Qin Sheng his detailed plan. Following that, Chang Baji called Gu Qingyang and ordered them to wait at the landing entrance of the elevator.
By the time Qin Sheng, Chang Baji, and Hao Lei went downstairs, the group with Gu Qingyang, Gu Xiaobo, and Tang She had changed into the same clothes, waiting for them at the landing entrance of the elevator in the underground garage.
Since it was not possible for them to be watched over here, Chang Baji ordered randomly as he said, “I will drive on my own. Tang She and Hao Lei, you go in the same car. Qinyang and Xiaobo, you escort Qin Sheng to leave here. You should all already know the basic plan. You must be pretty careful when you are switching cars. Never should you be discovered. Hao Lei and Tang She, all you need to do is drive to the south continuously and leave everything behind. Qinyang and Xiaobo, you should protect Qin Sheng well. Never should you make a mistake! Speaking of the escape this time, you are the most important part. We’ll meet each other in a specified place in two days. I will inform you about the detailed address at that time. Till then, I will leave for Wuhan along with Qin Sheng. As for you, continue heading northeast. If any change happens, we will contact each other via text. Is that understood? Everyone?”
“Yes, we got it.” All the people on the scene nodded and responded continuously.
Chang Baji had his own considerations to make such an arrangement. Of course, he was the most powerful one among this group. However, he could not leave with Qin Sheng since he needed to draw the firepower toward him. Secondly, he would only feel at ease after Gu Xiaobo and Gu Qingyang, who had been partners for years, were arranged to protect Qin Sheng. As for Hao Lei and Tang She, they were just bait.
Gu Xiaobo felt somewhat surprised as well as somewhat happy. It did not occur to him that Senior Uncle Chang actually would assign him and Gu Qingyang, who were senior brothers to each other, with the task of protecting Qin Sheng. If it were in normal days, Gu Xiaobo definitely would try his best to protect Qin Sheng. However, since he was on the opposite side of Qin Sheng now, if Qin Sheng was under his protection, Qin Sheng would simply bring about his own destruction. Gu Xiaobo let out a sigh and felt somewhat emotional. Obviously, Qin Sheng was ill-fated. His whole life would definitely come to an end tonight.
It was not until all the people on the scene had confirmed the plan that they walked to the parking lot. Every one of them bowed their head. Since they were at almost the same height, nobody could tell them apart at all.
Meanwhile, speaking of those planted agents who had been watching over Qin Sheng over the past two days, they were at the entrance of the residential quarter as well as the underground garage. There were quite a few planted agents in the underground garage now. Invisible sentries were all around the whole Golden Coast residential quarter. Consequently, at this moment, the planted agents had been watching over all the people in the three cars for a while. However, when they saw six men who looked almost the same coming out at the same time, they were at a loss instantly.
Chang Baji chose to park the car on a corner, which was so secluded that nobody could see what was going on inside the car. To make sure Qin Sheng would be absolutely safe, he got in Chang Baji’s car first. Following that, he slipped into Gu Qingyang and Gu Xiaobo’s car.
It was not until they were prepared that they drove off slowly. However, if the planted agents observed more closely, it seemed that they could only see the driver in each car. While others sitting in other seats could not be seen. Since all the other people were sitting in the back seats, huddling themselves up under the seats, and the lights in the underground garage were pretty dim in the underground garage, nobody was certain about how many people were in each car, let alone could they figure out which car Qin Sheng was in.
The underlings who had been watching over Qin Sheng all the time called Feng He right away and said, “Brother Qin and the others have come out. I am pretty certain that all six people are out. However, they left in three cars separately. Plus, we could only see who the drivers were. We have no idea who is also in the cars at all. What should we do now?”
Upon hearing this piece of news, Feng He sneered somewhat disdainfully as he thought, “Well, they are just trying to play small tricks. Could it be that they thought they could run away by using a ploy to distract us?”
Feng He made arrangements immediately as he said, “Keep the three cars’ plate number in mind. Follow one of the three cars by yourself and ask those outside the underground garage to follow the other two cars. You definitely should not lose track of them.” Meanwhile, he reported to Hu Lan, saying that he was pretty sure that Qin Sheng planned to run away tonight. The reason why Qin Sheng had said that he would leave tomorrow evening and promised Luo Changgong was to distract them. How sinister Qin Sheng was!
Feng He, who was pretty cautious, feared that some accidents might take place. He ordered once again as he said, “Leave another group at both the entrance and the underground garage. Make sure Qin Sheng was not left behind.”
After the man who was in charge of watching over Qin Sheng received the order, he called the ones outside immediately and told them the plate number of the three cars. After that, they discussed it and decided on who should follow which car.
Parking in the underground garage was free for the first half-hour. Chang Baji got the timing just right and did not waste any time at all from beginning to end. Consequently, when they arrived at the exit, they directly drove out without ever stopping at all.
After they left the garage, Gu Qingyang, who was at the front, drove to the left side. Chang Baji, who was after Gu Qingyang, drove to the right. While Hao Lei, who was driving the third car, drove to the right side. As for why Chang Baji had made a subtle arrangement and asked two cars to be driven to the right side, he had adopted a principle, namely anti-psychology. He had thought that those planted agents definitely would think that Qin Sheng had to be in one of the two cars driving to the right side. If so, at that time, Qin Sheng, who actually was in the other car, would be under less pressure.
However, there was always a countermeasure to the policy.
Since Third Master Wu, the Qu Family, and the Yan Family had united together to deal with Qin Sheng, they would deal with Qin Sheng like a lion fighting a rabbit. As a result, they had placed a large amount of chips. They had arranged several batches of people to tail Qin Sheng since they had feared that someone might lose track of Qin Sheng. They did not fear that they would be caught by Qin Sheng at all. What they were doing was an overt plot instead of a conspiracy.
As a result, the underling who had been watching over Qin Sheng had set everything up. After all three cars left the garage, each car was followed by a respective car instantly. They did so to make sure they would not lose track of any target.
Zhuang Zhou and Nan Gong, who had been guarding outside, had felt that something was not right early on. Since the group of people who had been watching over Qin Sheng had moved to the direction of the underground garage, they had been watching over what was going on there the whole time.
At this time, they witnessed what had happened in front of them. They felt somewhat perplexed since never had they encountered a situation like this before. On Qin Sheng’s side, they had branched out into three columns to deceive the public. However, Qin Sheng’s opponents had their own countermeasures. What should they do? They were only driving a ragged van.
Nan Gong stared at Zhuang Zhou as she said, “What should we do?” They did not know who they should follow at all. If something did happen at that time, they could not explain it to Qin Changan.
Zhuang Zhou was not a god at all. He could not tell which car Qin Sheng was in. He was more concerned that instead of being in a car, Qin Sheng was still at home. He believed that it was somewhat possible for Qin Sheng to do so.
Zhuang Zhou dared not waste any time. After he pondered for a while, he issued an order immediately as he said, “Call now and ask for help. It is not possible for us to follow three branches at the same time. You and I will each follow one group respectively.”
Nan Gong nodded quietly. Currently, they could only do so to see which one of them was luckier.
On the other side, Luo Changgong and Li Qingfeng had rushed to Hu Lan’s location. The game was already on. Since the prey had made a stunning debut, as hunters, they should be prepared.
After they held a discussion, they added more manpower immediately to assist the planted agents following the three cars. However, they definitely would not strike out at this moment. They would only do so after Qin Sheng left Hangzhou. Meanwhile, they needed to try their best to figure out which car Qin Sheng was in.
Consequently, Qin Sheng tried to run for his life. And the show, where both parties exchanged with each other, began…
