As good as gold
Lin Ze had mustered up all his courage to take the initiative to meet Qin Sheng today. What had happened last night had made him lose face. First, he had been humiliated by Qin Sheng, and then he had been reprimanded by Qin Sheng. This had made Lin Ze lose face. Especially when his friends had asked him who he was, Lin Ze had said "my brother-in-law" without any temper. From the looks of his friends, Lin Ze could tell that they were laughing at him.
Moreover, ever since Qin Sheng had returned to Shanghai, Lin Ze had almost ignored him. Even when Lin Ze arrived in Shanghai and took the initiative to meet Qin Sheng, Qin Sheng still refused to meet him. How could Lin Ze not be resentful?
Actually, he had changed a lot during this period of time, especially after his father and second uncle talked to him a few times, which made him completely determined. Whether it was his father or Second Uncle, they both made it very clear. Although 40% of the Lin Family's assets had been given to Lin Su, and these assets were destined to belong to the Qin Family in the future, this was also a chance for the Lin Family to rebuild itself. As long as they followed in the footsteps of the Qin Family, the Lin Family's future would be far more abundant than this 40% of their assets.
The only direct heir of the Lin Family was Lin Ze. If Lin Ze did not work hard, the Lin Family would lose this opportunity for nothing. Although the Lin Family would not collapse, after all, with Lin Su supporting them, no one would really dare to do anything to the Lin Family. But for a man like Lin Ze, didn't he feel that living was too suffocating?
After thinking about it for two months, Lin Ze finally figured it out. As a result, he followed his Second Uncle to Shanghai and prepared to do something big. He also wanted to have a good talk with Qin Sheng. He wanted to apologize for the mistakes he had made in the past and discuss what he wanted to do in the future. However, Qin Sheng did not give him a chance.
However, it had never occurred to him that he would meet Qin Sheng outside the Queen's Bar last night. Moreover, Qin Sheng had seen the scene of him being humiliated, which made him feel very proud. Then, Qin Sheng lectured him, which made him collapse mentally.
Today, Lin Ze came over to have a showdown with Qin Sheng. He felt that no matter what he said, Qin Sheng would not believe him. In that case, forget it. In the future, they would go their own ways and it would be best if they never contacted each other again.
However, the courage that he had summoned up with great difficulty was crushed by Qin Sheng so easily. In the end, he could only confess honestly and did not bother to explain anything.
Qin Sheng felt that Lin Ze was a little different today. In the past, Lin Ze did not have the courage to face him directly. Today, he actually dared to bargain with him. This made Qin Sheng look at him in a different light. If Lin Ze did not even have the courage to face him directly, how could Qin Sheng think that he was worth putting in an important position?
After that, when Lin Ze finished explaining his purpose of coming to Hangzhou this time, Qin Sheng felt that he had really wronged him. In addition, what Lin Ze had said at the end made Qin Sheng feel that Lin Ze had indeed changed.
However, Lin Ze's trip to Hangzhou this time involved the Old Monk, so Qin Sheng had to pay attention to it. If he really had a conflict with the Old Monk, Lin Ze would definitely be no match for him. In that case, Qin Sheng could only ask him to step in.
However, Qin Sheng did not want to fight with the Old Monk now. The Old Monk had refused the Yan Family's invitation, which was to make space and opportunities for Qin Sheng. This time, Qin Sheng came to Hangzhou to deal with Third Master Wu first. After dealing with Third Master Wu, he would consider the Old Monk. Qin Sheng was very clear about this.
Therefore, Qin Sheng frowned and said, "If the backer over there is really the Old Monk, I advise you to be careful in Hangzhou. I will talk to Second Uncle about this. Don't act rashly. The Old Monk is not easy to deal with."
Originally, Lin Ze wanted to say, "Why should I listen to you?" But in the end, he held back because he remembered what had happened in the past. It seemed that when Qin Sheng was driven out of Hangzhou last time, the Old Monk was also involved. In that case, did Qin Sheng's return to Hangzhou this time also have something to do with the Old Monk? That was why he said such a thing.
Lin Ze had no choice but to compromise. He could feel Qin Sheng's seriousness. If he really messed up Qin Sheng's plan, he was afraid that his brother-in-law would really take it out on him. "Alright. You talk to Second Uncle first. I won't contact them for a few days. I'll wait until you make a decision."
Qin Sheng was very satisfied with Lin Ze's attitude. He looked at Lin Ze, nodded slightly, and said, "If you really want me to look up to you, show me your strength and do something. I will naturally see it. You don't have to say it out loud."
Originally, Lin Ze wanted to refute, but in the end, he held back. Since Qin Sheng had nothing to talk with him, he directly asked Yang Daniu to send the guest away.
In the evening, in the Old Monk's villa, Qu Huanxi ran back in a hurry and asked the nanny who came down from upstairs, "Where is my grandfather?"
The nanny replied with a smile, "Master is meeting a guest in the study."
Then Qu Huanxi ran to the study on the second floor in a hurry. The door of the study was open, which meant that they did not talk about anything important. Qu Huanxi walked in directly and saw Yuan Ke sitting beside his grandfather. After a casual greeting, he said to his grandfather, "Grandpa, I have something to report to you."
Judging from Qu Huanxi's expression, it should be something urgent. The Old Monk looked at Yuan Ke and signaled him to go back first. They would talk about the rest later.
Yuan Ke stood up happily and nodded to the Old Monk. After that, he said something to Qu Huanxi and walked out of the study at a moderate pace. He was more familiar with this place than his own home.
Yuan Ke and Qu Huanxi were quite close. They often hung out together. However, neither of them was a fool. Maybe they were just taking what they needed. Besides, the old monk knew better than anyone else what those people below him were planning. He had prepared a lot of backup plans for his grandson.
After Qu Huanxi saw Yuan Ke off, he immediately closed the door of the study. The Old Monk frowned and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?"
Qu Huanxi did not keep him guessing. He said seriously, "Grandpa, Qin Sheng went back to Hangzhou."
Upon hearing this news, the old monk became serious in an instant. This was somewhat unexpected to him. What happened in Shanghai was enough to make Qin Sheng badly battered. After all, Third Master Wu was in Shanghai now and the Yan Family kept making trouble for Qin Sheng. However, Qin Sheng could still find time to rush back to Hangzhou. This was not easy at all.
The Old Monk frowned and asked, "Is the news reliable?"
Qu Huanxi took two steps forward and said seriously, "Absolutely reliable. If I was not sure whether the news was true or not, I would not dare to tell you. This is not a small matter."
As Lin Ze had told Qin Sheng today, the person who had a conflict with him last night was a playboy who was close to Qu Huanxi. The two families were relatives, but they did not have much contact in daily life.
After the playboy had suffered losses last night, he immediately admitted defeat, because he had recognized Wei Li and Dugu Qingning. A wise man knew better than to fight when the odds were against him. However, how could he swallow it so easily? After that, he contacted Qu Huanxi, hoping that Qu Huanxi could help him regain his face.
Since Wei Li and Dugu Qingning were involved, Qu Huanxi would certainly not agree to help him casually. In particular, the playboy also said that at that time, Wei Li and Dugu Qingning had accompanied a distinguished young man, who seemed to know Lin Ze. That was why he stood up for Lin Ze.
After hearing this, Qu Huanxi immediately thought of something. Lin Ze was a descendant of the Lin Family in Ningbo, and Lin Ze's sister was Qin Sheng's girlfriend. In addition, since Wei Li and Dugu Qingning took it seriously, this young man's identity was not simple.
Therefore, in conclusion, this young man was very likely to be Qin Sheng. Therefore, he immediately asked the playboy about the young man's appearance and so on. The result was similar to what he had guessed. It was almost Qin Sheng.
However, Qu Huanxi was still somewhat worried. In the end, he went to the Queen's Bar and found the surveillance video of the bar that night. In the end, he found Qin Sheng and confirmed his identity.
The old monk murmured to himself, "Qin Sheng suddenly appeared in Hangzhou. It's a bit strange. It's definitely not a good thing."
Qu Huanxi was somewhat worried. "Grandpa, what should we do? Didn't we plan to reconcile with him? Should we take the initiative to contact him? Otherwise, if he comes back to take revenge, we will have a deeper conflict at that time. "
The old monk thought for a while and said, "I guess Qin Sheng must have come back to Hangzhou secretly this time. Otherwise, why didn't Third Master Wu make any response? Otherwise, he would have definitely responded. Therefore, we have to plan this matter in a low-key manner. We can't let more people know. Otherwise, it will not be good for Qin Sheng or for us if the information is leaked. "
"Grandpa, don't worry. I didn't tell anyone. At present, only you and I know." Qu Huanxi said very firmly. Since his grandpa had said so, of course, he would not tell others. After all, many of the people below him could not be trusted. There were spies from various forces.
The old monk stood up from the sofa and walked out slowly. He walked back and forth in the study with his head down. After a while, he continued to say, "Find some absolutely reliable people to investigate who Qin Sheng is close to in Hangzhou and who he has met. Then tell me immediately, so that I can judge what he is going to do in Hangzhou. At the same time, don't be found out. Even if you find out, you can't tell us. Otherwise, there will be misunderstandings. And remember, never leak the information. If anyone leaks it out, he will bear the consequences. "
Since the Old Master had given such an order, if Qu Huanxi could not do it well, how could he take over such a large interest group in the future?
Therefore, Qu Huanxi said firmly, "Grandpa, don't worry. I will do it now. I will definitely not let you down."
The old monk let out a long sigh and said, "Go ahead. I hope Qin Sheng doesn't come back to Hangzhou for us this time. Otherwise, it will be a little troublesome."
Qu Huanxi did not say anything. He nodded and left the Qu Family's villa in a hurry. This time, he would listen to his grandpa's orders and would not act recklessly.
Qin Sheng did not know that no matter how careful he was, he was still found by others. Fortunately, it was found by the old monk. If Third Master Wu had found out, it would have been a little troublesome.
However, Qin Sheng did not care about this now. What he needed to think about now was how to talk with Boss Hu tomorrow. Boss Hu would not agree easily like the Dugu Family.
