How could Lin Su not know why Qin Sheng did that?
Because she didn't know when they would meet again after they parted this time. She no longer complained about anything. The only thing she could do was to accompany Qin Sheng through the last moments of peace. She did not want to be a burden to Qin Sheng and make him worry. She wanted him to face this predicament with all his might. She believed that their story would not end like this.
Lin Su still ate delicately. She chewed and swallowed slowly, which was a kind of performance art. She tried to taste every dish, because it was the best meal she had ever had. When Qin Sheng was not paying attention, Lin Su wiped her tears quietly. She didn't want Qin Sheng to see her cry, because he would be worried and feel sorry for her.
No matter how hungry they were, it was impossible for them to finish ten dishes. Qin Sheng only ate one bowl of rice. In the past, Lin Su could only eat half a bowl. Today, she ate two bowls of rice, because she didn't want to waste the sumptuous dinner prepared by Qin Sheng.
After drinking the last mouthful of soup, Lin Su put down the bowl and said with satisfaction, "I'm full. I'm so full."
Qin Sheng handed Lin Su a tissue and said with a smile, "You go watch TV. I'll clean up. I'll stay with you after I finish my work."
Lin Su stood up in a hurry and said, "Let me clean up. You've been busy this afternoon."
"Be good. You need to rest for a few days." Qin Sheng joked with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Su blushed instantly. She covered her face and left …
At night, the cold air from the north made the temperature of Mount Putuo drop sharply. Coupled with the whistling sea wind, Third Master Wu, who lived in the small courtyard of Mount Putuo, got rheumatism again. He didn't dare to go out at all. He had to adjust the temperature of the air conditioner to a high level.
The late autumn of this year was colder than that of previous years. In the early winter of previous years, Third Master Wu would go to Sanya to spend the winter or go back to Hangzhou to stay until spring. Anyway, he would not stay on Mount Putuo in winter.
Luo Changgong just arrived at Mount Putuo from Hangzhou. He was surprised that the Old Master suddenly called him over. He had a strange feeling that it must be related to Qin Sheng. After all, the most interesting thing in Hangzhou these days was that Qin Sheng offended the Qu Family and the Yan Family. Was the Old Master going to intervene and help Qin Sheng? There didn't seem to be a reason, but if someone convinced the old man, it wasn't impossible.
It was definitely impossible for Master Liu and Cao Da. Only the Xue Family could do it …
Although there were only a few servants and bodyguards in the small courtyard of Mount Putuo, these people were all Third Master Wu's trusted subordinates for many years, especially the inseparable Tiger Man, who was known to be one of the top three in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. The other bodyguards were also selected by Third Master Wu himself, and the servants were brought here from Hangzhou.
Luo Changgong walked into the yard. The middle-aged man, who had been with Third Master Wu for many years, was already waiting there. Luo Changgong walked over quickly and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Chu, why on earth does Third Master Wu want to see me?"
The surname of the middle-aged man was Chu Sikong. In Third Master Wu's circle, he was addressed as Mr. Chu respectfully by everyone. He was also Third Master Wu's favorite. If anyone offended Mr. Chu, he might have to give up his position. Sometimes, Mr. Chu's words were more useful than Third Master's. Consequently, everyone was respectful to Mr. Chu.
Mr. Chu, who was already wearing a down jacket, said with a smile, "Lao Luo, you will know when you go in. It's neither a good nor a bad thing. It depends on your choice."
Every circle had its own cliques, including Third Master Wu's. However, Mr. Chu was polite to everyone and never picked a side. This was also the reason why Third Master Wu trusted him.
It was neither a good nor a bad thing, which was even weirder. With a complicated feeling, Luo Changgong followed Mr. Chu into Third Master Wu's study. At this moment, Third Master Wu was reading a book about the imperial censors and imperial censors in the Ming Dynasty.
After Luo Changgong came in, he said respectfully, "Third Master."
Hearing the voice, Third Master Wu said without raising his head, "You are here. Come and sit down."
Luo Changgong was not as sophisticated as some people. Sometimes, he could not be patient. For example, he asked directly at this moment, "Third Master, why do you want to see me?"
Third Master Wu said, "Well, someone wants to cooperate with us now. However, we have to do something for them. I want you to do it for me." Third Master Wu knew Luo Changgong's temperament very well. How could he not know these trusted subordinates whom he had trained single-handedly?
Without hesitation, Luo Changgong answered directly, "Third Master, what is it? I will do it."
Third Master Wu put down the book in his hand, stood up slowly, and said, "To kill a person."
"Kill who?" Luo Changgong was absent-minded for two seconds. Since the Third Master wanted to kill this person, he was really unlucky. However, he had not done this kind of thing for a long time. Moreover, it was the Third Master who ordered him to do it suddenly, so he was quite surprised.
Third Master Wu stared at Luo Changgong and said, "Qin Sheng."
Hearing these two words, Luo Changgong was instantly shocked. It did not occur to him that the person the Third Master wanted to kill was Qin Sheng. What did this mean? He had expected that the Third Master might have something to do with Qin Sheng. However, he guessed that the Third Master wanted to help Qin Sheng get through this crisis. Unexpectedly, the actual situation was exactly the opposite. Why did the Third Master want to kill Qin Sheng?
No wonder Mr. Chu said that it was neither a good nor a bad thing for him to kill Qin Sheng. However, for Luo Changgong, it was definitely not a good thing. Qin Sheng had a good relationship with Xue Qingyan and Master Liu. Besides, he had a good relationship with Yang Deng. If he really killed Qin Sheng and it was known by others in the future, the consequences would be unimaginable. He would become a scapegoat.
The relationship between Master Liu and Xue Qingyan would definitely be broken. Xue Qingyan would vent her anger on him. He and Yang Deng would definitely turn against each other. However, this was the Third Master's order. How could Luo Changgong refuse? "It's really a headache." Luo Changgong thought quickly, trying to figure out how to get rid of this problem.
Luo Changgong said in a euphemistic way, "Third Master, I am not suitable. After all, I am very familiar with him." He was indeed very familiar with Qin Sheng. Besides, he appreciated this young man very much. No matter what the reason was, he was still reluctant to kill Qin Sheng.
Third Master Wu sneered and said, "It is because you are familiar with him that you are the most suitable."
Luo Changgong continued to play dumb and said, "What about Yang Deng?"
Third Master Wu stared at Luo Changgong gloomily and said, "Do you think he can do it? If I tell him, he will tell Qin Sheng. This must be done by you. If there is any sequela in the future, I will help you deal with it. "
Luo Changgong was still not willing to do it. He continued, "Third Master, it is not that I don't want to do it. You may not know that Qin Sheng's brothers are not simple. Take Chang Baji as an example. I have no way to deal with him."
"Chang Baji? Don't worry. You don't need to worry about him. I will ask Sikong to deal with him for you. "Third Master Wu had already figured out a solution. He looked at Chu Sikong beside him and said with a faint smile.
Hearing this, Luo Changgong knew that the Third Master had made up his mind to kill Qin Sheng. Since Mr. Chu had taken action, Qin Sheng would definitely die this time. However, why? What was the reason? Could it be that the Qu Family and the Yan Family had found the Third Master? What kind of benefits could persuade the Third Master? After all, the Third Master had been indifferent to worldly affairs these years.
Luo Changgong sighed and said, "If Mr. Chu takes action, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. But Third Master, I want to know why. Qin Sheng is a good young man, and his background is not simple. It is not necessary for us to get involved in this mess. "
Third Master Wu said slowly, "If there is no absolute benefit, I will definitely not agree. Moreover, the young man sent a painting and a piece of stunning calligraphy to my birthday party some time ago. However, this time, the young man will definitely die. Even if we don't take action, he will not be able to get through this. The Qu Family and the Yan Family have issued the order to kill him. "He felt it was a pity. However, there were too many young people with great potential in this world. It was not a big deal for one or two of them to die.
Luo Changgong still did not understand and said, "Third Master, what does it have to do with us?"
Third Master Wu gave the final explanation, "Of course it has nothing to do with us in the beginning. However, yesterday, the Yan Family found me and wanted to have a comprehensive and in-depth cooperation with us. They will expand their business and influence in Zhejiang Province, and we will enter Shanghai. This is a good deal. Qin Sheng is just an accessory. He is not that important. "Third Master Wu gave the final explanation.
Hearing the words "we will enter Shanghai", Luo Changgong finally understood why the Third Master had agreed. Over the years, the Third Master had tried to get into Shanghai many times. However, every time, he had been suppressed by the local bullies in Shanghai. In the end, he had returned without any achievement. Nowadays, apart from doing some business in Shanghai, they did not have much influence at all. However, the Yan Family was different. If they cooperated with the Yan Family, they would become a new force in Shanghai.
Luo Changgong sighed. No one could persuade the Third Master. The benefits promised by the Yan Family were more important than Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng had just become a victim in this game.
Third Master Wu said, "I asked you to kill Qin Sheng because you are the most familiar with him and it is the most convenient for you. Of course, at that time, you will also be responsible for a certain part of the affairs in Shanghai. This is the reward you deserve. I hope you won't let me down. "Third Master Wu continued to say. He was already so old. Even if he went to Shanghai, he would not personally handle the affairs. Instead, he would let the group of subordinates handle the affairs. It did not matter who was assigned to handle the affairs. Since Luo Changgong had made such a contribution, of course, he should get something in return. Otherwise, he really could not make up his mind. Third Master Wu had grasped this point. Consequently, he had sent Luo Changgong to Mount Putuo.
As expected, after Luo Changgong, who had been hesitant, heard Third Master Wu's promise, his eyes instantly lit up. Currently, he was not the most powerful person in this circle. However, if he entered Shanghai, he might not be so powerful at that time. This was an opportunity.
Consequently, Luo Changgong said without hesitation, "Okay, Third Master. I will do it. When?"
Third Master Wu said with satisfaction, "In a few days, the three families will cooperate. Sikong will accompany you back to Hangzhou. You can discuss the countermeasures with the Qu Family and the Yan Family." After that, he waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.
All he needed to do was to control the strategic direction. Of course, he would not worry about other things. However, Third Master Wu definitely did not expect that his seemingly good choice today would be the root of trouble for him in the future …
