Hope Is Slim
Chang Baji had followed Qin Sheng for several years, so he knew very well who Qin Sheng's enemies were.
The things that Qin Sheng had done in the past were almost settled. He did not have any worries anymore. The only danger was Third Master Wu, who had been killed. Because of what Third Master Wu's adopted son had said, no one knew whether the conspiracy would be leaked or not. No one knew who would avenge Third Master Wu.
For example, people like Yang Deng. Although Yang Deng had cut ties with Qin Sheng and would never see him again, no one knew whether there was someone like Yang Deng.
Therefore, after Qin Sheng had an accident in Ningbo, Chang Baji first thought that it might be Third Master Wu's people.
However, based on Qin Sheng's current influence, it was quite impossible for Third Master Wu to kill Qin Sheng easily. Moreover, Qin Sheng was followed by two bodyguards of the Qin Family. The strength of these two bodyguards was not simple. They could be regarded as relatively excellent among the bodyguards of the Qin Family.
Therefore, Chang Baji thought that it might be someone from Shenzhen or Dalian. However, they were busy with their own affairs now. How could they be so powerful? Besides, if they did so, they would completely offend the Qin Family. At that time, even their bones would not be left.
In the end, Chang Baji could only think that it was Elder Long and Sixth Uncle's people, because only they could be so powerful.
Chang Baji had fought with Elder Long's people several times, so he was very clear about how powerful they were. However, he was not sure who it was. After all, it involved too many things. If something really happened to Qin Sheng, then the Qin Family and the Zhu Family would avenge him.
Actually, Chang Baji just wanted to have a try when he said that he would come to identify the bodies. However, he did not expect that he would really meet an acquaintance.
This person was definitely Elder Long and Sixth Uncle's people, because he had fought with him in Beijing before.
Looking at the bodies in front of him, Chang Baji came to himself and murmured, "It's really them."
Hearing this, the policeman next to him hurriedly asked, "Do you know them?"
Chang Baji looked back at him and shook his head. "No."
The policeman was a little excited. If the identity of the killer was confirmed, it would only be a matter of time before the case was solved. Everyone knew how much pressure the whole Ningbo Public Security System was under. It was said that the identity of the young man who had the accident was not simple. It directly alarmed the high-level officials in all aspects of the province. Even the provincial department directly sent the second-in-command to Ningbo to take charge of this matter.
Chang Baji didn't stay there for long before he left. He didn't dare to waste any more time and immediately took a taxi back to the hotel.
When he returned to the hotel, it was already dark outside, and it started to rain. This made Chang Baji a little depressed, because the chances of finding Qin Sheng were getting smaller and smaller.
The more time passed, the slimmer the hope became.
No matter if Qin Sheng had escaped or been kidnapped, it would be the same.
If it was the former, Qin Sheng was likely to die from serious injuries. After all, Qin Sheng had not contacted them for so long. As for the latter, Qin Sheng's chances of survival were even slimmer. No matter whether those people escaped or not, some of them could kill Qin Sheng.
However, Chang Baji was still puzzled. That old man was so powerful. How could he have died on the spot? This was something that Chang Baji couldn't understand.
After all, he had fought with this old man and knew that the old man was probably more powerful than him. In addition, the old man had brought several helpers with him. According to Master Long's style of doing things, since he could make such a thorough plan this time, investigate Qin Sheng's whereabouts so clearly, and finally choose the best opportunity to take action, how could he not bring a few masters with him?
As for Qin Sheng's side, he was very clear about Qin Sheng's power. He was definitely not a match for this old man. Even with the two bodyguards of the Qin family, it seemed that he would definitely die. Then how did Qin Sheng escape?
Chang Baji was somewhat puzzled, very puzzled.
All of a sudden, Chang Baji thought of a possibility. Did Qin Sheng have helpers?
However, he knew almost all the people that Qin Sheng knew. Who could be a match for that old man?
The probability seemed to be very low.
The more Chang Baji thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He simply stopped thinking about it and went back to tell Zhu Qingwen the news first.
When Chang Baji returned to the hotel, Qin Ran, who was exhausted, had already gone to bed. Zhu Qingwen was making a phone call in the living room. When she saw Chang Baji coming back, she signaled him to wait for a while and then continued to make the phone call. Chang Baji didn't know who she was calling, but his background was definitely not simple.
After a while, Zhu Qingwen finished making the phone call. It turned out that Zhu Weiguo had asked his eldest son, Zhu Qingyuan, to come from Jiangsu to help. After all, except for such a big thing, the two elders of the Zhu family couldn't show up at all, so Zhu Qingyuan had to come here.
Zhu Jiayou had nothing to do, but nobody could rest assured with his character. This matter might be spread out immediately. If the old lady found out, it would be a big deal.
After Zhu Qingwen hung up the phone, she looked at Chang Baji and asked, "Lao Chang, how is it? Do you know him?"
"Yes," Chang Baji said calmly.
Hearing this, Zhu Qingwen was stunned subconsciously. She didn't have much hope. Since the old man dared to take action against Qin Sheng, he must have been well-prepared. How could he be easily recognized by others?
"Who?" Zhu Qingwen came back to herself and asked. No matter who the old man was, since Chang Baji knew him, she would listen to him.
Chang Baji said slowly, "He's Sixth Uncle Long's man. I fought with the dead old man in the alley outside the siheyuan of the Yang family in Beijing. He was much more powerful than me, and he even threatened us."
"I see." Although Zhu Qingwen had already guessed this possibility, she still found it hard to accept the result. In fact, they had already known that Elder Long, their old enemy, had reappeared. They were just waiting for a chance. However, she couldn't accept the fact that Sixth Uncle had tried to kill Qin Sheng.
The Zhu family could accept that Sixth Uncle had colluded with Elder Long for the interests of the Chang 'an family, but the Zhu family couldn't accept that Sixth Uncle had killed Qin Sheng. Although the Qin family and Sixth Uncle had some conflicts now, the two families had a long history. Even the Zhu family had some connections with Sixth Uncle.
Why did it have to be like this?
Did he have to cut off the Qin family line?
Did he have to challenge the bottom line of the Zhu family?
When Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu were engaged, why did the Zhu family show up with such great fanfare? They wanted to tell everyone that they could do whatever they wanted to Qin Changan, because it was Qin Changan's business. However, they couldn't do anything to Qin Sheng, because it was the Zhu family's business.
Chang Baji didn't dare to hide anything. At this time, he told them his guess and said, "This old man was more powerful than me, so I still have a doubt. I don't know if it's true or not. Maybe it's possible."
Zhu Qingwen was thinking about something else. Hearing Chang Baji's words, she asked, "What is it?"
Chang Baji began to narrate at a moderate pace …
A few minutes later, Zhu Qingwen said in surprise, "You suspect that Qin Sheng has helpers?"
"Yes. Otherwise, Qin Sheng and the bodyguards of the Qin family couldn't have killed this old man. Moreover, they came prepared." The more Chang Baji thought about it, the more certain he was.
Zhu Qingwen was overjoyed. If it was really possible, Qin Sheng would have a great chance to survive. As long as Qin Sheng was alive, how could Zhu Qingwen not be happy?
After confirming the details with Chang Baji, Zhu Qingwen asked Chang Baji to leave. After Chang Baji left, she called her brother immediately. It seemed that as they had guessed, it was Elder Long and the others who killed Qin Sheng this time. However, she was a little sad that Sixth Uncle was involved.
Zhu Qingwen couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Why didn't they do it earlier? How could Elder Long and the others dare to take the risk?
Zhu Qingwen had been on the phone for a long time. Not only did she talk to Zhu Weiguo, but she also talked to her husband, Zhu Zhangshun. In the past, they had wanted to wait a little longer and make sure that Zhu Zhangshun had improved a little more before they could make a move on Elder Long.
But now, since this thing happened, they had to take action in advance.
That night, it was raining outside. However, many people in Ningbo didn't fall asleep because they were looking for that young man.
When the sky brightened.
The result was not satisfactory.
The mountain area had been searched thoroughly, but Qin Sheng was still not found. They only found some bloodstains. They were sure that Qin Sheng had left from the mountain, but they couldn't find him.
The police in Ningbo also searched all over the city, but they didn't find anything. They caught many fugitives, but they couldn't relieve the pressure in Ningbo. More and more people were under great pressure.
However, the police in Ningbo didn't give up. They expanded their search scope. The provincial department also arranged police officers to check all the traffic arteries in the neighboring cities, hoping to find some clues.
At dawn.
The Qin Family was exhausted, but they still couldn't find Qin Sheng.
Everyone knew that the longer they waited, the slimmer their hope would be.
At dawn, more and more people knew about the news in Ningbo. After all, the movement here was too big. Moreover, the Qin Family also made such a big move.
Sixth Uncle was one of them. When he knew what had happened in Ningbo, he almost fainted from a heart attack. He didn't expect that their ally, Elder Long, would do such a big thing behind their back. Elder Long was going to drive them into a dead end. He was going to tie them up completely.
Therefore, before others called Sixth Uncle, he called them anxiously. If they didn't think of a way, they would really be in trouble, because they had offended the public this time.
They could do anything.
But this was the only thing they couldn't do, because it would ruin the Qin Family's bloodline. How could the Zhu Family tolerate it?
Moreover, Old Lady Zhu was still alive.
Moreover, Qin Sheng was the son-in-law of the Song Family, and Old Master Song was still alive. This was a slap in the face of these old people.
At dawn.
The Song Family also knew about it.
When Song Ruyu got up and turned on her phone, she received a call from her father before she had time to check the messages and WeChat messages that kept coming in.
Qin Sheng's father-in-law told Song Ruyu to go to Ningbo as soon as possible.
Song Ruyu didn't come to her senses for a long time. She didn't know what he meant.
