Who else could it be?
It was not that Dugu Qingning did not want to tell Dugu Qingyu. It was just that Dugu Qingning could not do anything about it. It was not something he could control. So what if he told Dugu Qingyu? Wasn't it just adding to her worries? It was good for her to be carefree and carefree like this, unless there came a day when the Dugu Family had no other choice and had to use her as a shield.
The reason why Dugu Qingning wanted to cooperate with Qin Sheng this time was that her sister, Dugu Qinghe, had called her several times recently, asking her to be prepared in advance. There was something wrong with her in-laws. Both her father-in-law and husband had been very busy recently. Every time they came back, they would be exhausted. Moreover, it seemed that someone was monitoring their daily life. She had also inquired about it. It seemed that there were some rumors.
Once there were rumors, there was a real possibility that something bad would happen. Not everyone could be as anxious as the Qin family. The interests involved in the Qin family were too complicated. It could be said that there were too many interest groups and family forces mixed in.
But what about Dugu Qinghe's in-laws?
They all went back to their own homes.
Brother Wu had already arranged a place for Qin Sheng to stay. It was not a hotel or a villa district, but a private courtyard located on Hupao Road. It was very private and safe. Sitting in the garden, one could overlook the entire West Lake scenic area. It was estimated that it must be very expensive. This was Brother Wu's personal relationship. He did not use the Qin Family's resources.
Qin Sheng was very satisfied with this place. He thought it was a holiday hotel, so he asked a few questions. Then he found out that it was a property bought by a friend of Brother Wu's father. However, no one had lived there for many years. However, there was still someone in charge of it. Usually, only friends who were on vacation in Hangzhou would stay there. That person had settled down in the United States. As for why he kept this place, no one knew. Maybe he really liked it.
It was summer. It was not very hot. There was a slight breeze. Qin Sheng did not rest from morning to night. Finally, he had time to chat with them.
Brother Wu, Bach, Wang Jian, and Yang Daniu sat in the garden at the back, looking at the West Lake at night. It was dotted with stars. It was not bright, but it had a special taste.
"I won't be in Hangzhou for too long this time, maybe a few days or half a month, so we have to settle these things as soon as possible," Qin Sheng said.
After a few seconds of silence, Brother Wu replied, "It seems that the problem of the Dugu Family is not serious. We don't have much contact with Boss Hu. Wei Li said that Boss Hu doesn't seem to have many ideas. He said that not everyone can face Third Master Wu and the Old Monk directly. The two of them are deeply rooted in Zhejiang. They almost occupy half of the country. Hence, it will be very difficult and risky."
"The problem with the Dugu Family isn't that big, but it's not certain how much the Dugu Family will be able to contribute." Wang Jian added. Ba He was only a lackey and did not participate in anything too deep, but he would still provide some suggestions.
Qin Sheng said thoughtfully, "Take advantage of the situation, take advantage of the situation. The word 'take advantage' is very important. It must be very difficult for Boss Hu to agree now. Even the Dugu family will not take action easily. However, once something goes wrong with Third Master Wu, they will not stay silent. Therefore, although Shanghai and Hangzhou seem to be two different lines, they are actually one line."
"Zhou, Young master, I," Wu Wu. "Wu. Zhou," Wu Wu said.
Qin Sheng said, "It is not certain yet, but we have a chance. Whether we can succeed or not, we still have to wait for the news."
"Young master, how are you going to talk to the Dugu family tomorrow?" Wang Jian frowned and asked. He thought it would be easy, but now he felt that it was not so simple.
Qin Sheng continued, "Let's talk about the intention first. We can only act according to the situation. By the way, is there any movement from the old monk?"
Wu Wu said meaningfully, "Quiet, very quiet, so quiet that it is a little scary. There is no movement at all. It is said that the Yan family also looked for the old monk, but he rejected them directly."
"There must be something unusual. This is interesting, but it is still beneficial to us. If the old monk is also involved, we will be in big trouble. I hope we will not meet the old monk during this period in Hangzhou, in case he regrets it," Qin Sheng said quietly, but he was still thinking about the old monk's movement. This did not seem to be the old monk's style.
Wu Wu followed and said, "Young master, don't worry. We will continue to keep an eye on the old monk. If there is any movement, we will report to you in time."
After talking about these things, Qin Sheng arranged for someone to meet with him tomorrow. The others continued to do their own things. In the end, Qin Sheng went back to his room to sleep.
Before going to bed, Qin Sheng called Lin Su because he saw that Lin Su had sent him a WeChat message. He guessed that Lin Su was still awake.
After the call went through, Qin Sheng found out that Lin Su had just come back from overtime. This made Qin Sheng's heart ache. Naturally, he said some nice words. Although these words could not help Lin Su reduce her work pressure, it would definitely make her feel better.
Finally, Qin Sheng talked about meeting Lin Ze tonight and asked Lin Su what her brother, Lin Ze, was doing in Hangzhou recently. Lin Su frowned and said that she was not sure. She did not have much contact with this brother. Qin Sheng did not say anything more, but he would definitely keep an eye on this guy later. Otherwise, if something really happened, Qin Sheng would have to clean up his mess even if he did not want to. This was troublesome.
The weather was good when he woke up in the morning. Qin Sheng practiced martial arts in the yard for a while. Recently, he had been too busy and almost did not go to the gym. No wonder he was a little tired. After he was done with his work, he would have to make up for it.
During the day, he stood in the yard and looked at the whole West Lake scenic area. The scenery was really beautiful. Qin Sheng stayed for a long time before he went to the dining room for breakfast.
The chef was hired from a nearby five-star hotel. All the ingredients were prepared yesterday, so the breakfast looked very sumptuous. Qin Sheng, who had a good appetite, ate a lot. Yang Daniu even gobbled down the food. This guy's table manners could be compared with Qin Sheng's.
They set off for Shifeng, which was not very far away. It should be very close. The Dugu family could have a private manor here, which showed that they were really powerful. Of course, they only told the public that it was a tea garden.
When Qin Sheng arrived, Wei Li and Dugu Qingning were already there. Unexpectedly, Cai Yu was also here. Qin Sheng really did not expect this. Could it be that this woman really fell in love with him and intended to fly into the fire like a moth?
Cai Yu was the first to see Qin Sheng. She put down the drawing board in her hand and walked over with a smile. She said, "You did not expect this, did you?"
Qin Sheng was a little embarrassed. "I did not expect this."
Today, Cai Yu looked purer and cuter than last night. She was wearing a floral dress and slippers. It seemed that she did not have any makeup on. She was still beautiful.
"Don't think too much. I happened to come here to sketch today. Some of my friends heard that you were coming, so I came to say hello to you." Cai Yu lied to herself. In fact, it was Dugu Qingning who told her that he would talk with Qin Sheng here today. That was why Cai Yu brought her classmates here to sketch. This reason just happened to not make Qin Sheng think too much.
Qin Sheng did not bother to think about whether it was true or not. He smiled and said, "Oh, then you can draw well. You can also show me your work later."
"Okay." Cai Yu nodded and did not disturb Qin Sheng anymore. She continued to sketch with her classmates.
Qin Sheng walked directly to the viewing platform where Wei Li and Dugu Qingning were. From here, he could see all the tea garden. Although there was no lingering cloud and mist today, the scenery was still very beautiful.
Today's meeting was different from yesterday. Everyone was very serious. Wei Li and Dugu Qingning smiled and said hello to Qin Sheng. There were only the three of them on the viewing platform. The others were waiting outside and would definitely not disturb them.
After Qin Sheng sat down, he took the tea poured by Dugu Qingning and said directly, "Lao Wei, don't be polite. We are already familiar with each other. Let's get straight to the point."
Looking at Dugu Qingning, Wei Li said, "Qingning, what I said in the past is what I said. Now, if you have any questions, you can ask Lao Qin directly. You don't need to be afraid of my existence. You don't need to think that things can't go well or that we can't be friends. These are not involved. The only thing I can say is that Lao Qin's business in Hangzhou is also my business. Our Wei Family will definitely do our best to help him.
You can talk about the rest. "Wei Li was just a middleman. The rest of the things needed to be talked about face to face. No matter what he said, it would be useless.
Dugu Qingning nodded seriously. Then he looked at Qin Sheng and said, "Master Qin, you also know that Third Master Wu has a lot of connections in Zhejiang. It is definitely impossible for our Dugu Family to take the initiative to take action. Lao Wei said that Third Master Wu will be in trouble. At that time, our Dugu Family will take action. I want to confirm this with you."
Qin Sheng said calmly, "I know this. If I were you, I would not offend Third Master Wu rashly. The price to pay is too high. It is completely unnecessary. So you can be sure that as long as nothing happens to Third Master Wu, your Dugu Family will not take action."
Dugu Qingning continued, "Secondly, even if something happens to Third Master Wu, it is not to say that we are not a match for him with the power of the Dugu Family. However, even if we can get benefits, we will pay too much. It is not worthwhile. So besides our Dugu Family, do we have any allies?"
Qin Sheng said with a smile, "Our Qin Family will definitely be the main force. Wei Li will also help us. So the Dugu Family is not the only one. Moreover, we are also contacting Boss Hu. I will tell you the details after I meet him."
What Qin Sheng had said was within Dugu Qingning's expectation. Dugu Qingning continued to ask, "Also, how much benefits can our Dugu Family get from Third Master Wu?"
This was the most important thing. If there was no benefit, one would not get up early. After such a big scene, if they could not get anything in the end and paid too much, it would not be worth it.
Qin Sheng already had a plan. He replied, "I can't guarantee this. How much benefits can your Dugu Family get depends on your ability. Anyway, our Qin Family will not take part in the matter of sharing the cake. We don't care about such a little benefit."
Qin Sheng said this with confidence. It was nothing more than benefits. The Qin Family's business was much bigger than this. They really did not care about it.
Dugu Qingning frowned slightly but did not say anything. He would talk to his family about this, which was a little different from what he had expected.
Dugu Qingning asked directly, "How likely is it that Boss Hu will be killed?"
Qin Sheng replied, "I am not sure."
Dugu Qingning continued to ask, "When will Third Master Wu be killed?"
"I am not sure, but it will not be long."
Dugu Qingning gritted his teeth and said, "One last question. Master Qin, please don't blame me for being suspicious. I just want to make sure. After all, this is not a small matter."
Qin Sheng said calmly, "Go ahead."
Dugu Qingning said bluntly, "Master Qin, can you represent the Qin Family?"
Qin Sheng laughed and said, "I represent the Qin Family. If I can't do it, who can?"
