Give Others a Chance …
Mount Putuo was located in the Zhoushan Archipelago. Together with Mount Wutai, Mount Emei, and Mount Jiuhua, it was one of the four famous mountains of Buddhism. It was the Taoist field of Guanyin Bodhisattva. There was a saying, "There are famous mountains on the sea, mountains in the illusory world", which referred to Mount Putuo.
It was located at the foot of Mount Putuo, facing the sea in the east and enjoying the sunrise. There was a medium-sized yard made of green bricks and gray tiles. The yard was full of flowers and plants. There was a Buddha hall in the side hall. At this moment, an old man over 60 years old, wearing a Buddhist robe, was worshipping the Buddha devoutly.
Two men stood outside the Buddha hall. One was Yang Deng, who had fought with Qin Sheng before. He had recovered these days, but his eyes were a little dim. Next to him was a middle-aged man, who looked calm and kind, with smiling eyes, playing with the Buddha beads in his hand. There were no outsiders in this small yard.
There was only one way to get here. There were people guarding the entrance, so outsiders could not get in at all. Apart from the servants in the small yard, there were only the old man and two old men. However, there were often guests visiting. The old man would go to the temple to discuss Buddhism with those masters. Every day, apart from worshipping the Buddha and chanting sutras, he would either sleep or wander around the island. What he was most interested in was chatting with the tourists who came because of its fame. He could often meet some interesting people.
When the old man came out of the Buddha hall, Yang Deng and the middle-aged man lowered their heads respectfully and said, "Third Master."
"Little Stool, have you recovered from your injury?" The Third Master shaved his head and kept a long beard. He was a little hunchbacked. Fortunately, his legs were agile. No matter who saw him, they would say that this old man looked like a Buddha. After all, he had devoted himself to Buddhism for so many years. It was said that one's appearance was born from one's heart and would change every three years. The old man looked kind, but the momentum in his movements was really frightening.
Feeling somewhat ashamed, Yang Deng said, "Third Master, I'm not as good as you. I've made you lose face. I'm willing to accept the punishment without any complaints."
"Han Guoping is dead, so this matter is over. There's always someone better than you, so it's not necessarily a bad thing to suffer a little. Everyone has to slowly climb up after stumbling. No one can soar to the sky in one go. Otherwise, they will only fall even more miserably," the old man said with a smile. His smile was very amiable. The children who often saw him in the neighborhood would happily call him Grandpa Wu. It seemed that no one knew his real identity. He was a big shot on Mount Putuo, and countless people in the entire Yangtze River Delta would catch a cold if he sneezed.
Well, he was Third Master Wu, who Jiang Xianbang feared and respected and who had driven Han Guoping into a corner. He was a Tiger Man who could write his life into a legend.
Even though this old man had been away from the storm for many years, those Tigermen that he had trained, which one of them wasn't a character that could turn the tides in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai?
"Third Master, the news about the young man you asked me to investigate has come out, but he doesn't seem to have any connection with Jiang Xian Bang, let alone a relative. I understand now," the middle-aged man next to him said with a puzzled expression.
Third Master raised his eyebrows slightly and snorted. "No connection? No one can make Jiang Xian Bang, the old fox, cut his flesh. First, he was an angry King Kong in the Northern Song Dynasty, and now he gave me a blue and white flower with peony cloud and dragon patterns in the Yuan Dynasty? "
"I'm incompetent." The middle-aged man hurriedly lowered his head and said with fear and trepidation, "Qin Sheng is from Xi 'an. He was an orphan since he was a child and depended on his grandfather. He came to Shanghai from college and entered Fudan University. He met Jiang Xian Bang at that time. After graduation, he disappeared for more than two years and only reappeared recently. As for his relationship with Han Guoping, we have no way to know. We only know that Han Guoping asked him to protect his daughter."
"Is there any news about his grandfather?" Third Master Wu asked with interest.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "No, but his grandfather died two years ago."
Third Master Wu lowered his eyebrows and pondered. Then he felt a little funny. This young man was really interesting.
"Third Master, what should we do about this?" the middle-aged man asked.
Third Master Wu continued to walk forward. At this moment, he was almost at the seaside. The wind at night was a little strong, which made him somewhat uncomfortable. He shook his head and said, "Let's just forget about this matter. Since I have accepted the stingy Jiang Xianbang's gift, of course, I have to give him face. Moreover, Han Guoping and I do not have a deep grudge. It is just that he was too arrogant when he was in power and overshadowed me several times. If I really wanted to fight with him, he would not be a match for me. However, I like to add flowers to brocade and also like to hit people when they are down. This depends on our relationship."
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded as he said, "I know what to do."
"Don't get involved with that little girl and that guy. As for how others deal with him, it's their business. It has nothing to do with us. However, whoever is interested in Han Guoping's property can take it. We can't let outsiders benefit from it," Third Master Wu continued.
After saying so much, Third Master Wu was a little tired. He sighed and said, "My body is not as good as before. Let's go back. The wind is a little strong."
Then Yang Deng and the middle-aged man supported Third Master Wu and walked back slowly …
While Third Master Wu was talking about Qin Sheng, Zhou Wenwu and Zhao Dongsheng were also talking about Qin Sheng at the Sheshan Golf Club in Shanghai. However, their attitude was not very good.
"Who the hell is this Qin Sheng? Is he courting death?" Zhou Wenwu was hot-tempered. He scolded Qin Sheng as soon as he came up. If there were other options, Zhao Dongsheng would not cooperate with this guy. However, Qin Sheng was indeed capable.
Zhao Dongsheng drank a mouthful of white wine and said, "We don't know his background. We can only find out that he is from Xi 'an and studied at Fudan University. We don't know how he met Han Guoping and he has some relationship with Jiang Xian Bang."
"Jiang Xian Bang? The Jiang Xian Bang who made a fortune by reselling cultural relics? " Zhou Wenwu frowned when he heard the name. He was a bold but careful man. He loved wine, women, and gambling. He had everything. Not many people in Shanghai dared to provoke him because he had a big tree to lean on and enjoy the shade.
Zhao Dongsheng nodded and replied, "Yes, it's him. This is going to be difficult."
Zhou Wenwu did not care and said, "As long as he dares to block my way to wealth, I don't care who he is. I will still kill him. It's just Jiang Xian Bang. What's there to be afraid of? If anything happens, I will take care of it. Just do it."
Zhao Dongsheng was not Zhou Wenwu. Zhou Wenwu was not afraid of Jiang Xian Bang but Zhao Dongsheng did not have the guts. But now that Zhou Wenwu had said it, Zhao Dongsheng was unscrupulous.
"Han Bing has decided to go bankrupt and reorganize. This is not good for us." Zhao Dongsheng sighed and said.
Zhou Wenwu laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if she reorganizes or not. As long as I can get all of Han Guoping's properties, it's not a big deal. Most importantly, I've been coveting his daughter for a long time. Since she escaped death in Tianshui, I'm not in a hurry to kill her this time. It'll be best if I can kidnap her. If it doesn't work, I'll kill her. Back then, Han Guoping humiliated me severely. This time, I'll return the favor and let him die with regrets. "
This was Zhou Wenwu. He had no bottom line. Fortunately, Han Guoping did not have a wife or lover. Otherwise, he would have been ruined by him.
"I don't care how you do with Han Bing. I have to deal with Qin Sheng first. You don't know how arrogant he was at the board meeting this afternoon. If I don't have a temper, how will others see me in the future?" Zhao Dongsheng said fiercely. This time, he was really angry.
Zhou Wenwu did not care and said, "It's up to you. You can do whatever you want."
In the Sichuan restaurant, Qin Sheng and the others had finished their meal and were preparing to go back. They were not going back to Tomson Golf, but to Huarun Nine Mile Bund. Compared to the Han family's villa, Han Bing could be better protected there. More importantly, he and Chang Baji still had to go out to work.
After sending Han Bing back to Huarun Bund, Qin Sheng said, "Sleep early tonight. Don't think about anything. You have a lot of things to do these few days."
"What about you? Aren't you staying? "Han Bing could not leave Qin Sheng at all. She was afraid that Qin Sheng would disappear at any moment.
Qin Sheng shook his head and said, "I'll let Hao Lei stay. Brother Chang and I are going out to do something. We'll be back in a while."
Han Bing really wanted to say, "Then I'll go with you." She was afraid that Qin Sheng would be angry. She also knew that Qin Sheng must have something important to do. She could only say, "Okay, then be careful and come back early."
Qin Sheng reminded Hao Lei to stay in Han Bing's mansion. He naturally trusted Hao Lei, so he went out with Chang Baji happily.
After walking out of Huarun Bund, Chang Baji laughed and said, "Going to kill people?"
"No, to drink." Qin Sheng said casually.
Chang Baji could not keep up with the rhythm. What the hell was going on? Was he still in the mood to drink?
Qin Sheng looked at the tail following them and said disdainfully, "We're all trying to make a living. We have to give others a chance. Otherwise, how are they going to report back?"
