The train went all the way to the north. The scenery outside the window flashed by. There were big cities, small counties, and more villages. The wheat sprouts in winter had grown in the fields. The mountains in the distance were full of bare tree trunks and the snow on the mountain tops.
Qin Sheng sat by the window for a while. He was not in the mood to miss the scenery that flashed by. After all, compared with spring, the scenery in winter was not so good. Qin Sheng was not in a good mood. Coupled with the gloomy weather, he felt even gloomier.
There was heating on the train, so it was not so cold. Qin Sheng stayed in the soft sleeper compartment with an uncle opposite him. The uncle said that he was going to Jinan to see his son. After chatting with him for a while, Qin Sheng fell asleep.
The train stopped and went on for 20 hours. It would arrive in Tsingtao at noon the next day. Qin Sheng just lay there and did not want to get up. He did not care about the passengers in the compartment getting on and off. He slept all the way to Tsingtao in a daze. He was really exhausted both physically and mentally.
He had thought that he would take root in Hangzhou, but he did not expect that he would still be a passerby. Anyway, his life in Hangzhou was the most fulfilling one in the past few years. He had a woman he loved deeply, friends, people who supported him, and a fulfilling job and career. The days when he studied in Xi 'an and later in Shanghai could be compared.
He had to give up this kind of life and start a life similar to that of the past two years. Qin Sheng was somewhat reluctant. He was really tired and did not want to go on like this.
During the time when Qin Sheng was on the train, Chang Baji had returned to Hangzhou from Huang Mei County. Chu Sikong and the others had also returned to Hangzhou, including Feng He and Gu Xiaobo. If Chang Baji had not been seriously injured, he would have killed Gu Xiaobo. However, he did not take the risk.
As for Qin Sheng, he had contacted Hao Lei and told them not to worry about Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng had left safely. As for where he had gone, Chang Baji did not tell them. However, Chang Baji told Hao Lei everything about what had happened last night, including the unknown status of Gu Qingyang and Gu Xiaobo's inexplicable betrayal, in case Gu Xiaobo contacted Hao Lei and the others.
Of course, Hao Lei and Tang She were very surprised. They didn't expect that so many things had happened last night. As for whether they could figure it out, they could only think about it slowly.
In Beijing, Qin Ran rushed back to Beijing from Europe. She didn't even go home. Instead, she took a plane to Jiujiang. After staying there for a few hours, she took another plane back to Beijing. Even a man would be exhausted, let alone a woman. Moreover, Qin Ran still had to worry about her brother.
Although she was physically exhausted, Qin Ran was very motivated. She felt that everything she had done was worth it. It was all for her brother. As long as it was for her brother, no matter how tiring or torturous it was, Qin Ran was not afraid.
Qin Changan went back to the siheyuan of the Qin Family. Today, he did not go to the company, nor did he go to meet the guests. He stayed in the siheyuan and rested. Last night, he stayed up all night. Unlike young people, he basically slept the whole day.
When Qin Ran returned to the siheyuan, it was dinner time. Zhuang Zhou had informed Gongsun, so the kitchen prepared a few more dishes. Zhuang Zhou and Nangong did not follow her back. Instead, they went to Tsingtao first. They would meet Qin Sheng there and continue to protect him in secret.
Gongsun had been waiting in the yard in advance. He hurried to help Qin Ran carry her bag. After that, he asked the servants to put Qin Ran's suitcase in the room. He muttered, "You are such a troublemaker. You have been on the plane for two days. Don't you feel tired? You must have not eaten yet. Your father is waiting for you in the dining room."
Qin Ran knew that Uncle Gongsun cared about her, so she did not talk back. She went directly to the dining room. Qin Changan was eating slowly. He was totally different from Qin Sheng. Qin Ran wondered whether this son was his biological son or not.
As soon as Qin Ran sat down, she was about to say something. Qin Changan stopped her and said, "Fill up your stomach first. These are all your favorite dishes."
Qin Ran wanted to talk back, but she finally held back. She had to pick up the bowl and chopsticks. Qin Changan picked up a few favorite dishes for her.
When the bowl of rice was empty, Qin Ran said, "When are you going to reconcile with your brother?"
Qin Changan scooped a bowl of soup for Qin Ran and said unhurriedly, "He is safe now. Don't worry."
Hearing this, Qin Ran instantly stood up in anger and shouted directly, "Qin Changan, do you think no one can control you? Believe it or not, I will call Grandma and Uncle now. Believe it or not, I will go to Shanxi to find Eldest Uncle. "
Her brother was still dragging his tired body outside, while Qin Changan was enjoying delicious food here. How could Qin Ran feel balanced? This time, she was really angry. Not only did she mention Grandma and Uncle, but she also mentioned Eldest Uncle, who few people knew about. He was the person that Qin Changan was most afraid of.
As for this Eldest Uncle, he was more legendary than Qin Changan. He was also Qin Changan's biggest support. Without this man behind him, the Qin Family would not have today's foundation.
Qin Changan was stunned. It seemed that no one had mentioned this person for a long time. He hesitated for a while and finally said, "You are a girl. How could you do this? I just said that you should wait for a few days and let him adjust his state in Tsingtao. Then you will meet again. Do you think it is appropriate to meet him now? He has just experienced so much. If you suddenly give him a heavy bomb, I am afraid that he will not be able to recover in a short time. "
It was not until then that Qin Ran realized that she had been fooled by Qin Changan. She sat down helplessly and said, "You already had a plan. Why didn't you tell me?"
"Did you ask me?" Qin Changan was speechless. He really owed this girl in his previous life. She was the only one who dared to show her fangs and brandish her claws in front of him unscrupulously. If it were someone else, Qin Changan would have slapped her.
Qin Ran admitted her mistake in a hurry and said, "Okay, okay, okay. I was wrong."
Qin Changan said meaningfully, "All right. Stay in Beijing for a few days and have a good rest. When he is emotionally stable, you can go to Tsingtao and take him back to Beijing. I will wait for him in Beijing. As for your grandmother, don't inform her yet. When she sees me, I will call her personally. The Zhu Family has hated me for so many years. It is time to ease the relationship between them. "The relationship between him and the Zhu Family was really stiff. Qin Sheng was the key to ease the relationship between him and the Zhu Family.
Upon hearing that she could finally recognize her brother, Qin Ran's mood was really indescribable. Her whole face instantly became as bright as a flower. She showed her white teeth and even her eyes were smiling. She smiled sweetly and stood up. "All right. I will go back first. Take your time to eat."
Qin Changan said helplessly, "Are you full? Why are you in such a hurry? "
Qin Ran said without turning her head, "I am afraid that you will find me annoying."
Qin Changan finally showed a long-lost smile on his face. This way of getting along with each other seemed to be a little like a father and a daughter. In normal days, they were like enemies. However, father and daughter were father and daughter after all. No matter how much resentment they had in their hearts, it would be solved eventually.
At noon the next day, Qin Sheng, who had slept all the way, finally arrived in Tsingtao. In the past few hours, except for eating halfway, he basically slept all the time. It seemed that he wanted to make up for the sleep of a few months. He could not wake up no matter how hard he tried.
The moment he stepped out of the train, Qin Sheng had a feeling of deja vu. Because last time when he went back to Shanghai from Xi 'an, he also took the train. At that time, he was full of confidence about the future. He even boasted by the Huangpu River, saying to the Huangpu River and the tall buildings across the river, "One day, this city will remember me for many years."
But now, more than a year had passed. He had experienced a lot of ups and downs. In the end, he went back to the distant point and started everything from zero.
Did he regret it? He did not. Because he was still young. If he gave up at this time, his life would really be over.
Qin Sheng took a taxi to the hotel he had booked, which was located in the Badaguan scenic area in Tsingtao. After lunch, he was ready to walk around in the Badaguan scenic area and then go to the seaside to relax.
The reason why the Badaguan was called Badaguan was that there were eight roads at that time, all named after the eight passes of the Great Wall, namely Shaoguan Road, Jiayuguan Road, Hanguguan Road, Zhengyangguan Road, Linhuaiguan Road, Ningwuguan Road, Zijingguan Road, and Juyongguan Road. These ten roads crisscrossed and formed a scenic area with a radius of several miles. Therefore, they were collectively called Badaguan, which was a famous recuperation area with many historical buildings left behind.
After walking around the scenic area, Qin Sheng went to the seaside. When he was in high school, Qin Sheng's favorite singer was Xu Wei. His current situation was just like Xu Wei's song "You Used to Be". He used to dream of traveling around the world with a sword and seeing the prosperity of the world. When he was young, he was always a little frivolous. Now, he regarded the world as his home.
However, what was different about Qin Sheng was that the girl who once made him feel sorry for her did not disappear quietly. It was just that they did not continue to be together. However, he still had a girl he liked by his side. However, every time he felt sad, he would look at the sea alone, which was the same. After walking around the seaside for a while, Qin Sheng felt much better. He remembered that when he was in Xiamen, Lin Su would accompany him to walk by the seaside every morning and evening. Those were the most leisurely days of his life.
Since he was young, he had experienced so much. Although there were many bad things, there were also many good things. These were all memories, and Qin Sheng did not regret it.
When night fell, Qin Sheng's mood recovered well. However, he received a text message from Chang Baji. He did not have time to apply for a new card, so he still used the number in Jiujiang. He planned to deal with these trivial matters tomorrow.
The text message was very simple, but it stunned Qin Sheng. He could not come to himself for a long time: Qingyang was dead.
Although he had expected it, Qin Sheng still had hope. However, when he got the exact news, he still could not accept this fact for a while.
Qingyang was dead. He was really dead. He died just like that.
Qingyang died for him. If it were not for protecting him, he would definitely be alive. A young man, who was at the most glorious age of his life, died just like that. There would be no future for him. Qin Sheng fell into deep self-blame and guilt. The resentment that he had accumulated in the past few days burst out in an instant. He was so depressed that he did not know what to do.
He wanted to drink. He just wanted to drink. He wanted to vent his feelings completely. He did not care about anything and did not care about anything.
As a result, Qin Sheng, who was out of his wits, randomly found the nearest bar and sat in front of the bar counter. He looked at the passers-by passing by and drank one glass after another. During this period, some beautiful women came over to strike up a conversation, but Qin Sheng was not moved at all.
When the drunkenness hit him, Qin Sheng's consciousness began to become confused. He only wanted to rise up quickly so that he could avenge Qingyang and kill all those people.
