Zhao Qiuxi's words had already sealed Ma Chengcai's fate.
Is your life more important than your legs and arms?
Everyone would make the same choice.
Back then, the talented Ma Chengcai met Zhao Qiuxi, who was in need of manpower. From then on, his meteoric rise was unstoppable. At that time, Ma Chengcai was full of mettle, and would do his best in whatever Zhao Qiuxi arranged for him.
Thus, he was gradually entrusted with important tasks by Zhao Qiuxi.
When Zhao Qiuxi went into seclusion, he even planned Ma Chengcai's future steps. Step by step, Ma Chengcai became the leader of Southern Sichuan.
However, having reached such a position at such a young age, Ma Chengcai gradually became arrogant. He was not willing to stay in a corner of Southern Sichuan. He had his eyes on the big cake that was Chengdu and wanted a share of it.
Zhao Chengcai had already retired and wouldn't care about these things. The others also didn't have the right to criticize Ma Chengcai. After all, everyone was on equal footing.
It was precisely because of this rule that Ma Cheng became increasingly unscrupulous and ultimately dug such a huge hole for himself.
Out of so many people, he was the only one who didn't follow the rules. How could Zhao Qiuxi protect him?
Or maybe, Zhao Qiuxi was also using him to make an example out of him, to tell those restless people that although I, Zhao Qiuxi, have retired, I still have the final say in Chuan Yu.
Therefore, Zhao Qixi and Qin Sheng reached such a tacit agreement.
Qin Sheng wanted Ma Chengcai to pay the price, but he spared Ma Chengcai's life because of Zhao Qiuxi. As long as Zhao Qiuxi could save Ma Chengcai's life, everything else did not matter.
Ma Chengcai had no thoughts of resisting. He knew how he got what he had today. Not only did he offend this Young Master Qin who came all the way from Beijing, he also offended Sir Zhao who came out of seclusion. He could only calmly accept this result, or else the price he had to pay would be his life.
"Don't come to Chengdu in the future. Go back to Southern Sichuan to recuperate and meditate. I will hand over the matters in Southern Sichuan to someone else. We will talk about it again when you understand what you did wrong," Zhao Qiuxi arranged without any doubt.
Ma Chengcai was half-kneeling on the ground. No one knew what he was thinking.
Perhaps he was thinking, why is this Li Xiang a young master from Beijing? Isn't he called Li Xiang? Didn't he stay in Chengdu for several months? Didn't they investigate him thoroughly?
Which part had gone wrong?
If he had really known Qin Sheng's identity, how could he have courted death?
Zhao Qiuxi waved his hand and gestured to the bodyguards behind him to carry Ma Chengcai out. He would instruct them on how to deal with Ma Chengcai and would not fake it in front of Qin Sheng.
On the other side, Gu Jianyi was completely panicking. His biggest supporter, Godfather Ma, had fallen just like that. He had fallen in front of Master Zhao, the most powerful big shot in Sichuan and Chongqing. Master Zhao could easily crush Godfather Ma and most importantly, Master Zhao was on Li Xiang's side.
How did Li Xiang become Young Master Qin from Beijing?
What was going on?
Could it be that Gu Sining had found a helper from the very beginning and it was all a lie?
Gu Jianyi didn't have time to think about this because Master Zhao's bodyguards had already taken him away. After witnessing Godfather Ma begging for mercy, Gu Jianyi knew what his ending would be.
If he didn't want to die, he should turn himself in. At least he would still be alive and he wouldn't lose an arm or a leg.
Therefore, he didn't resist and let Master Zhao's bodyguards take him away. However, everything that had happened today was like a dream and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Qin Sheng was very clear about his brother-in-law's style. He didn't doubt Ma Chengcai and Gu Jianyi's ending at all. At this moment, he couldn't be bothered with Ma Chengcai and Gu Jianyi anymore. He walked towards Chen Zhongcang directly and said some polite words.
"Brother Chen, thank you for taking care of me during this period of time," Qin Sheng said with a smile.
Chen Zhongcang didn't look like he had expected better from Qin Sheng. He replied politely, "Young Master Qin, you're welcome. It's just that …"
Chen Zhongcang couldn't understand it, just like how Ma Chengcai couldn't understand it.
How could an ordinary young man named Li Xiang suddenly become a rich young master from Beijing and call Master Zhao, who was powerful in Sichuan and Chongqing, brother-in-law? Who could accept this?
Qin Sheng knew what Chen Zhongcang wanted to say. He shook his head and said, "Brother Chen, I know you have a lot of questions. You can ask Brother Zhao when you have time in the future. I can only say that all these are coincidences. However, Brother Chen, let me give you a piece of advice. No matter how far you go or how high you stand, you have to have a bottom line and follow the rules. Otherwise, you will pay the price sooner or later."
Chen Zhongcang slightly lowered his head and said, "Thank you for your advice."
After saying this, Chen Zhongcang said goodbye to Master Zhao and prepared to leave. There was nothing else for him to do here.
Yu Kai, who had been following behind Chen Zhongcang, was still beating fast. The ups and downs and the plot twist that he had experienced today, even though he had been through a lot and seen a lot of the world, he still exclaimed that it was too f * cking exciting. Until now, he still hadn't come back to his senses.
He was really pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. He even encountered such a melodramatic plot. Fortunately, he had been very polite to Li Xiang and didn't offend him. Otherwise, he would be miserable today.
Even Master Ma was like this, he was nothing.
Qin Sheng patted Yu Kai's shoulder and said with a smile, "When you come to Beijing in the future, you can find me for a drink."
"Okay, okay, okay," Yu Kai replied in a trembling voice.
Qin Sheng smiled and didn't say anything else.
After a while, there were only a few people left in the room. Gu Sining was still sitting there in a daze.
Zhao Qiuxi looked at Qin Sheng and said, "You guys handle the rest of the things. I'll go to deal with other things first."
He really troubled this brother-in-law today. Qin Sheng felt very embarrassed and said, "Brother-in-law, you go ahead."
After Zhao Qiuxi left, Song Ruyu, who had been watching everything coldly as if what had happened had nothing to do with her, walked towards Qin Sheng. She looked at Gu Sining, who was still sitting there in a daze, and asked thoughtfully, "What about you?"
Those people just now didn't mean anything to Song Ruyu. Their life and death had nothing to do with her. Even if it was Zhao Qiuxi, so what?
She only had eyes for Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng had a headache now. How could he explain this to Gu Sining?
Song Ruyu said softly, "I'll wait for you outside."
After that, Song Ruyu left, leaving Qin Sheng and Gu Sining alone. This was also a problem that Qin Sheng had to solve before he left.
Qin Sheng moved a chair and sat next to Gu Sining. He didn't take the initiative to say anything, waiting for Gu Sining to recover. After all, what had happened today had made this girl physically and mentally exhausted.
After a long time, Gu Sining finally came to her senses. She asked blankly, "Are you Li Xiang or Qin Sheng?"
Qin Sheng answered truthfully, "My name is Qin Sheng."
"Thank you for helping me and for helping my father. But why did you lie to me? Why did you help me? "Gu Sining asked confusedly.
Qin Sheng let out a long sigh and said, "I didn't lie to you. As I said before, I was injured and lost my memory. At that time, I was still Li Xiang, so Li Xiang did what Li Xiang should do. Li Xiang also met Gu Sining, who listened to me singing every day in the bar. Later, Li Xiang found his memory and realized that Li Xiang was not Li Xiang. Li Xiang's real identity was Qin Sheng. It happened that the man named Qin Sheng was very powerful, so these things happened later. "
"Really?" Gu Sining murmured to herself.
Qin Sheng chuckled and said, "Of course it's true. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had time to hang around in Chengdu for so long and stay in a small town in Sichuan-Tibet for three years. You and I met by chance. Why should I help you? Moreover, I'm facing Master Ma, who is famous in Sichuan and Chongqing. If I were an ordinary person, I wouldn't be able to kill him even if I had several lives. "
"Met by chance?" Gu Sining didn't care about what Qin Sheng had said at all. She only focused on the words "met by chance".
Qin Sheng smiled bitterly and didn't know how to explain it.
"So all of this is within your plan? When you went to the Sea of Bamboos in South Shu, you told me that you were going to leave Chengdu to look for your past memories. In fact, you lied to me. You have already found your past memories and found out what happened in the past. So you want to leave Chengdu. Are you really going to leave and never come back? "Gu Sining was not stupid. She began to recall what Qin Sheng had said before.
Qin Sheng was silent for a while and said, "I'll come back when I have time. After all, I like Chengdu very much."
Hearing this answer, Gu Sining understood what Qin Sheng meant.
But what about her?
She liked Qin Sheng very much.
Gu Sining was lost in thought and didn't say anything. She didn't even know that Qin Sheng had walked out of the box. Because Qin Sheng felt sorry for Gu Sining, he didn't know what to say.
A few minutes later, Song Ruyu walked in. She walked slowly to Gu Sining and said softly, "Do you like Qin Sheng very much?"
Gu Sining nodded without hesitation and said, "Very much."
"There's nothing wrong with liking someone. It's a pity that you met him at the wrong time. But you're still young. It's easy to like someone and let go of someone. Otherwise, you'll have to bear endless pain and longing. "What Song Ruyu said was the truth. She didn't want Qin Sheng to bear these emotional debts anymore.
Song Ruyu continued, "There are some words that Qin Sheng doesn't know how to say. Let me say it for him. You're not from the same world. There are many choices in life, but don't make the most difficult choice."
You are not people of the same world. This sentence is a little hurtful, but it is also the most true.
Gu Sining was a little unhappy when she heard this. Why did she say something for Qin Sheng when Qin Sheng didn't know how to say it? So she asked directly, "Who are you?"
Since Song Ruyu appeared, she had been confused about this woman's identity. In particular, she was now saying these words for Qin Sheng. Was it Qin Sheng's idea or hers?
Most importantly, who on earth was this woman?
Song Ruyu said slowly, "My name is Song Ruyu. I'm Qin Sheng's fiancée. I've waited for him for three years."
At this moment, Gu Sining finally understood why this woman had said these words.
Yes, only she was qualified to say these words …
