A Little Wild
The Old Monk knew Qin Sheng's situation well. That was why he was so confident. At this moment, what Qin Sheng needed most was an ally. The last person he wanted to provoke was the Old Monk.
However, the Old Monk didn't want to be at a disadvantage in the game with Qin Sheng. He thought the Qu Family had shown enough sincerity today, especially his grandson, Qu Huanxi, who had endured humiliation to carry a heavy load. What the Qu Family had done definitely made Qin Sheng speechless.
Therefore, when he showed up, he would not easily compromise with Qin Sheng, who was less than 30 years old. Nor would he let Qin Sheng take the lead in the situation. He had already calculated what conditions he was willing to offer and what kind of promises and rewards he had to get. He would never compromise.
The Old Monk was confident. He was more powerful than Third Master Wu to face Qin Sheng. That was because he had prepared for the worst, which was to spend all of his family's wealth and make the name of the Old Monk disappear completely. He only needed to send his grandson, Qu Huanxi, abroad safely.
Qin Sheng had the same idea. The game between the two sides was originally a psychological battle. More importantly, it was a competition of chips and trump cards. Now, he was already at a disadvantage, because he could not guess what the old monk wanted to do at all. He could only follow the old monk's rhythm, which made Qin Sheng feel very disgusted.
Knowing how to relax and how far to go was the rule of conduct. The Old Monk didn't want to make the atmosphere too tense. He said with a smile, "Young Master Qin, I didn't know what happened to you at that time. The main reason was that you offended the Yan Family. The Yan Family came to us. Anyone would make the same choice at this time. An ordinary person versus a powerful Yan Family. If I had to choose again, I would still choose the Yan Family. I don't mean to offend others. I just want to say that this is the reality. Just like now, the Qu Family has done something wrong. We should apologize to them and make up for them. We will never be stubborn. However, it seems that Young Master Qin has gone too far by putting all the blame on the Qu Family. After all, the real initiator is the Yan Family, so the Yan Family is the real enemy of Young Master Qin. I think they are courting death. Our Qu Family doesn't want to make mistakes again and again. Moreover, with Young Master Qin's current background, no one can challenge him. Our Qu Family is willing to pay for the mistakes we made in the past and choose to help Young Master Qin deal with Third Master Wu with all our strength. Young Master Qin, you don't have to worry about the price we have to pay during this period. This is our business. If Young Master Qin is still not satisfied, just tell us what you want. As long as the Qu Family can do it, we will definitely do it. "
The old monk was indeed an old monk. He had said all that he should say. Moreover, the Qu Family had done what they should do, leaving Qin Sheng no choice. If Qin Sheng still did not intend to reconcile with them, it meant that they would fight to the death. It was very likely that the Qu Family would be pushed to the opposite side, which was not what Qin Sheng wanted to see.
Reason told Qin Sheng that what the Old Monk said was right. If the Qu Family really wanted to help him deal with Third Master Wu, it would be the best result.
However, the Old Monk was Qin Sheng's enemy after all. He had joined hands with Third Master Wu of the Yan Family to kill him. In the end, Gu Qingyang died because of them. If he just let it go and joined hands with the Qu Family for the immediate interests, how could he face Gu Qingyang, who had already died?
Qin Sheng couldn't get over it. This was the most difficult thing.
"I know what Master Qu said. Master Qu knows me very well. You are right. I came back to Hangzhou this time to ask the Dugu Family and Boss Hu to help me deal with Third Master Wu. The reason why I came back to Hangzhou secretly was that I was afraid that Third Master Wu would know it and prepare for it. I was more worried that Master Qu would know it and hit me when I was down. "Qin Sheng chose to have a talk with the Old Monk.
The Old Monk looked at Qin Sheng with a smile and waited for him to continue. As long as Qin Sheng was willing to talk, it meant that they could continue to talk. He was afraid that Qin Sheng was an uncompromising opponent.
Qin Sheng said slowly, "It seems that I really have no choice now. To be honest, Master Qu is very sincere in making peace with me with such conditions. I also need an ally like Master Qu to deal with Third Master Wu. To say the least, if we fail to talk today, Master Qu will betray me and tell everything directly to Third Master Wu, which will be a great loss for me. To say the least, I offended Master Qu and pushed him to the opposite side. If Master Qu chooses to join hands with the Yan Family and Third Master Wu to deal with me, I will be completely in a desperate situation. All these are possible. I have to consider them all."
The old monk interrupted Qin Sheng with a smile as he said, "Master Qin, you don't have to worry about this. Even if our negotiation fails today, I won't tell Third Master Wu about what happened today. I can promise you that. Although I am cruel and merciless and I don't use any means to deal with things, I still have a bottom line. As for whether I will deal with Master Qin or not, as long as Qin Sheng doesn't provoke us now, we won't make trouble for Master Qin. Master Qin, you can rest assured about this. "
Qin Sheng frowned after he heard that. Was this the Old Monk? In order to make peace with him today, the Old Monk almost gave in to him everywhere and considered everything for his sake first. Those who didn't know better would think that they were close friends for many years.
Qin Sheng couldn't help but ask, "Master Qu, I really don't understand why you did this. I can understand that you refused the Yan Family and Third Master Wu, but you didn't have to do this. "
The Old Monk stood for a long time, so he walked to the sofa slowly, found a seat casually, and sat down. He said with a smile, "Your background is too powerful now. I have no choice but to do this."
Qin Sheng said directly, "Hehe, others may believe this, but I don't. If this is true, why didn't Third Master Wu and the Yan Family do this? Moreover, it's not like nobody knows the current situation of our family. "He didn't want to talk too much, so he asked directly.
In fact, the Old Monk was right. The Qin Family was not in a good situation now, so those people could take advantage of the situation. If the Qin Family was still the Qin Family, those people would not dare to do this.
However, no one knew what would happen to the Qin Family in the end. At that time, if the Qin Family survived, it would not be as simple as it was today to settle accounts with them later.
Besides, they didn't know how deep the foundation of a big family was. Who knew what would happen in a few years? There were too many unknown risks, so they had to make the right choice from the very beginning. The old monk felt that this was the best choice he could make.
"Because they offended you. Or maybe they had no choice but to do that. Since I rejected them, I had to make the opposite choice. Otherwise, neither side would be happy," the old monk explained. It was rare for him to speak so much today. "That's right. You're right.
Qin Sheng thought for a while and said, "Master Qu, although you said so much, I still think that you didn't say anything. You still don't want to show your trump card. "
The Old Monk laughed out loud and said, "You are really smart. No wonder the Yan Family wanted to kill you by hook or by crook. If I were the Yan Family, I would do the same."
Qin Sheng squinted and asked, waiting for the Old Monk's answer, "Master Qu, can you tell me now?"
The Old Monk stopped smiling and said seriously, "I choose to reconcile with you. I choose to help you deal with Third Master Wu at any cost. As long as you are willing to reconcile with me, we can talk about any compensation. I only have one condition."
Qin Sheng asked immediately, "What is it?" After talking so much, maybe this was the Old Monk's real purpose.
The Old Monk said meaningfully, "I hope that one day, Master Qin, you can fully support my grandson to take over the position and ensure that he can take over smoothly. My subordinates won't force him to abdicate and his life won't be in danger."
What the hell?
Qin Sheng didn't come to himself for a while. He asked, "Master Qu, I don't understand. You are fine now. You must have made a plan to let your grandson take over. You just need to do it step by step. I don't believe that your subordinates dare to force you to abdicate now."
The Old Monk seemed to have thought of a reasonable explanation. He replied, "Master Qin, the reason why you haven't agreed to reconcile with me is that if you reconcile with me, you definitely can't face your dead brother, right? Well, as you said, I will pay with my life. As long as Qin Sheng agrees to my condition, I will give my old life to Master Qin. What do you think? "
What?
Qin Sheng had no chance to fight back because of the Old Monk's tricks today. The Old Monk was totally unorthodox. He was not an all-powerful Old Monk at all. Every move he made was beyond Qin Sheng's expectation. Moreover, he didn't know how to deal with them at all.
Qin Sheng refuted directly and said, "Master Qu, do you think that I will believe your words? I am not a three-year-old kid. I guess that if you tell others about this, they will think that you are joking. Who are you? You are an influential figure in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. You said that you will pay with your life to my brother. Do you think that I will believe you? "Qin Sheng refuted directly. He was even more confused.
The Old Monk knew that Qin Sheng definitely wouldn't believe him. Even if it was in the past, he wouldn't believe it, let alone others. But today, he thought so.
"I will do what I said. But the premise is that I will help Master Qin deal with Third Master Wu. What's more, Master Qin must promise me what I said just now and fully support me to take over the position smoothly." Of course, the Old Monk had his own requirements. He couldn't just say it casually.
Qin Sheng seemed to feel that something was wrong. He was lost in thought and began to comb through all the conversations today. Finally, he found out what was wrong.
That was, all the Old Monk's purpose today seemed to be to pave the way for Qu Huanxi to take over the position smoothly, including choosing to reconcile with Third Master Wu and so on. There was only one purpose.
However, the Old Monk was fine now. He didn't know when these things happened. Moreover, with the Old Monk's means, who dared to rebel? Besides, he really didn't believe that the Old Monk would pay with his life. It was totally impossible.
Therefore, the Old Monk still had something that he didn't say.
Qin Sheng just wanted to get to the bottom of it. Otherwise, he would never agree to the reconciliation, let alone those conditions. Who knew whether there was a hidden trap or not?
Qin Sheng said seriously, "Master Qu, you must have something that you didn't say. All your actions are too abnormal. If you don't tell me the truth, I will never agree to the reconciliation, not to mention those conditions of yours. Although I do need an ally to deal with Third Master Wu, I don't want to jump into a big trap right after I jump out of a small trap."
The Old Monk said thoughtfully, "If I tell you, will you agree?"
"I can think about it." Qin Sheng had already made a concession.
The Old Monk looked at Qin Sheng. After a long silence, he gave the final reason. He let out a long sigh and said, "Because I will die soon."
