At this moment, it was already over ten o’clock. As Hangzhou City was a great city, which was second only to Shanghai in the Yangtze River Delta region, its nightlife just began. The young men and women in the city offloaded the weariness and pretension, which they had gotten from the whole day’s work, enjoyed themselves unscrupulously, and unleashed their desires. To them, tonight was pretty peaceful. However, to Qin Sheng, tonight was destined to be a special one.
It was unknown how many people could not fall into sleep peacefully because of Qin Sheng. It was unknown how many people should cheer themselves up because of Qin Sheng. To Qin Sheng, tonight was doomed to come to an end.
Though Qin Sheng was on the run, what were his two old opponents, Yan Chaozong and Qu Huanxi, doing? Qu Huanxi had gotten information from Li Qingfeng that they would deal with Qin Sheng tonight. However, since he was pretty heartless, he did not care about whether Qin Sheng would be dead or not. What he wanted was to stop Qin Sheng from showing up in front of him in the future. Consequently, at this moment, he was enjoying himself with his bad companions unscrupulously in the Queen Bar. Surrounded by beautiful girls, he was extremely happy. Anyway, he only wanted to know the result later.
However, compared with Qu Huanxi, who was indifferent, Yan Chaozong, who was far away in Yan Chaozong, had been paying attention to what was going on all the time. Feng He would report to him about the situation once in a while. That was the reason why Yan Chaozong had insisted on getting Feng He involved in the plan.
In a luxurious housing of Thompson Suite, Yan Chaozong brewed a pot of tea and watched a film named The Legend of 1900 unattentively. After that, he said to himself quietly, “The personal disputes between us should come to an end tonight.”
He definitely would not go to rest that early. He certainly would be completely at ease and go to bed after he got the news. Otherwise, he certainly would be uneasy. Qin Sheng was an eyesore to him. He would not let it go if he did not get the news, saying that Qin Sheng was dead.
Yan Chaozong knew that Lin Su had gone back to Ningbo, which meant that it was not possible for the Lin Family to help Qin Sheng. Since they had united with the Qu Family and the Third Master Wu to deal with Qin Sheng, the latter would definitely not stay in Hangzhou City if he was not an idiot. He definitely would find ways to leave Hangzhou City. However, at this moment, would the Yan Family, the Qu Family, and the Third Master Wu just let him go?
Obviously, it was not possible.
The darker the night got, the more complicated the situation would be.
It took Qin Sheng’s group six and a half hours to go from Hangzhou City to Huang Mei Town. When they arrived there, it should be over three o’clock in the morning. Chang Baji was supposed to arrive there at almost the same time. Everything was still under Chang Baji’s control.
Feng He had been following Qin Sheng’s car from far away with his three underlings. While Chu Sikong and six other skillful men, who tried their best to meet Feng He as quickly as possible, had been chasing after them all the way.
Gu Qingyang and Gu Xiaobo took turns to drive. Qin Sheng sat in the back seat, squinted, and had a rest. However hard he tried, he just could not fall asleep. He still felt pretty uneasy in secret and just could not figure out why. Hao Lei and Tang She, who had been driving all the way to the south, felt the safest. According to Chang Baji’s plan, they would go to either Lishui or Taizhou. After they arrived in either place, they could drop off at a random place and hang around there for a few days before they took the next step.
Zhuang Zhou and Nan Gong were following the group of people closely, including Chu Sikong. Qin Sheng could not notice that his whereabouts had been leaked. He would not even know that Feng He was exactly after him. Of course, the group of people, including Chu Sikong, would not realize that there was another group chasing after them.
Chang Baji was pretty prudent and cautious. He would tell Qin Sheng’s group how they should move on every once in a while in order to stop from Qin Sheng’s group being located. However, it did not occur to him that everything he was doing was in vain.
After Qin Sheng’s group switched from Hang Chang Express Way to Hu Yu Express Way, Chang Baji ordered them, including Qin Sheng, to keep driving ahead. It was not until it was over two o’clock in the morning that he told them the location, where they were going to meet each other, was in the Huang Mei Town of Huang Gang City. He told Gu Xiaobo that after he went off the expressway from Huang Mei Town later, he should find a random place and wait for him.
Gu Xiaobo felt pretty happy in secret since he finally knew the place where they were going to meet each other. In this case, what he needed to do was to figure out how to inform Hu Lan about this piece of news.
Currently, Gu Xiaobo was driving. He noticed that there was a service station ahead. After pondering for a while, he said, “Brother Qin, there is a service station ahead. I want to go to the bathroom. After that, I will buy some Red Beef and coffee to refresh ourselves in case something might happen due to driver fatigue.”
Qin Sheng still did not overthink it. After all, it was pretty late in the evening, and they had left the Zhejiang Province early. Presently, they were already in the Hubei Province. He did not think something might happen. Consequently, he said, “Alright. It happens that I also want to go to the bathroom. Then, you can buy something to eat. All of us probably are hungry now.”
Upon hearing that Qin Sheng had consented to his request, Gu Xiaobo felt happy in secret. He said, in a hurry, “Alright. However, we could only buy some snacks at a time like this. It is unknown whether some restaurants are still open at such a late time.”
Qin Sheng replied randomly, “Let’s see when we arrive there.”
A few minutes later, an ordinary Toyota Highlander, which they were driving now, went into the service area steadily. Gu Qingyang was waiting in the car. While Qin Sheng and Gu Xiaobo walked into the service area.
In order to cover the uneasiness in his heart, Gu Xiaobo chatted with Qin Sheng on purpose as he said, “Brother Qin, we probably need to say goodbye to each other later. I wish you a smooth life in Wuhan so that we can go to you for shelter soon.”
Qin Sheng patted Gu Xiaobo on his shoulders as he said, “Rest assured that I will inform you after I settle down there. With your help, maybe I can rise more quickly.”
Gu Xiaobo smiled happily as he said, “Sure. As the saying goes, if the brothers are of the same mind, their sharpness can cut through metal.”
However, he said to himself instead, “Brother Qin, I am sorry. I am afraid that you won’t have any chance at all. I hope you won’t blame me for what I did. I had no choice. After all, I need to live on.”
After Qin Sheng and Gu Xiaobo went into the bathroom, they were separated. Since Gu Xiaobo intended to send a text to Hu Lan, he went into the squatting pot. After Qin Sheng finished an international call, he left the bathroom directly.
At thirty past two o’clock in the evening, in the villa located in Xixi of Hangzhou City, after a message ringtone went off, Hu Lan picked up his mobile immediately. As expected, Gu Xiaobo had finally sent his information over.
The content of the text went as below: “Senior Uncle Chang will meet us in the Huang Mei Town. We will go off the expressway in the Huang Mei Town. What should I do? Looking forward to your quick reply.”
After Hu Lan thought for a while, he immediately texted back and said, “After you go off the expressway, try your best to find a secluded place. We will arrive there later. If an accident happens, we will contact you later.”
After Gu Xiaobo received the text, he finally felt at ease and deleted the text smilingly. After that, he left the bathroom. As a matter of fact, he did not take up too much time.
By the time when Gu Xiaobo walked out of the bathroom, Qin Sheng had finished buying the snacks, waiting for him. They looked at each other. After that, they went back to the car.
After they went into the car, Gu Qingyang said to Gu Xiaobo, “I will drive throughout the remaining journey.”
Compared with what he had been previously, Gu Xiaobo felt pretty refreshed at this moment. He smiled happily as he said, “It’s okay. I will drive first. Eat some snacks and take my turn later.”
They were on their way to the Huang Mei Town again.
In the living hall of a villa located in Xixi, Li Qingfeng was lying on the sofa casually, waiting for the update from the other side. Luo Changgong, who felt so sleepy that he could not put up with it anymore, was squinting.
After Hu Lan finished texting back, he said to both Li Qingfeng and Luo Changgong smilingly, “An amazing show is going to be on soon.”
Both Li Qingfeng and Luo Changgong raised up their spirits right away. They stared at Hu Lan confusedly. Instead of bothering with them, Hu Lan went to the balcony, called Feng He, and said, “They will meet Chang Baji in the Huang Mei Town. You inform Mr. Chu that we will strike out in the Huang Mei Town. He should deal with Chang Baji, and you will eradicate Qin Sheng. Be careful.”
Feng He, who was itching for a try, said, “Roger that. Rest assured that we will complete the task.”
An hour later, according to Chang Baji’s arrangement, Gu Xiaobo went off the expressway in the Huang Mei Town. After that, he parked the car by the roadside outside the exit of the expressway. They began to hold a discussion.
Gu Xiaobo asked thoughtfully, “Brother Qin, where are we going now?” Fearing that Qin Sheng planned to go into the town, he said in a hurry, “Senior Uncle probably will be here soon. Let’s wait for him nearby. If we go into the town, it seems we will be somewhat eye-catching since the plate number of our car is from a foreign province. If so, our identities will be easily revealed.”
What Gu Xiaobo had said made sense. However, he had said so purposefully.
Gu Qingyang agreed with Gu Xiaobo as he said, “Brother Qin, what Xiaobo has said is right.”
Qin Sheng thought for a while and found out that what Gu Xiaobo had said made sense. Consequently, he made up his mind as he said, “Then, let’s wait for them nearby.” It did not occur to him that his decision would almost take his life away.
Gu Xiaobo looked up the nearby map on the mobile quickly and found out there was a river nearby and few villages were seen. Thus, he said hurriedly, “There is a river. Let’s go to the riverside and find a place to wait for Senior Uncle.”
Upon finishing his words, Gu Xiaobo directly drove to the riverside before Qin Sheng and Gu Qingyang agreed with his decision. However, Qin Sheng and Gu Qingyang still did not overthink it. Probably they would only figure it out at the last moment as for why Gu Xiaobo had betrayed them.
Several minutes later, Chu Sikong and Feng He finally arrived at Huang Mei Town. Nan Gong and Zhuang Zhou were behind them. Chang Baji was the last to arrive there. All would meet each other in the end…
A storm was brewing, a war was going to be on…
