The Relationship between the Two Families
Old Master Song's words gave Qin Sheng enough confidence. Different levels of difficulty meant different success rates. In other words, different results represented the seriousness of the Qin family's involvement. The worse the result was, the more serious the situation would be.
Now, with Old Master Song's words, Qin Sheng knew what he should do. As long as he tried his best, even if he could not make the old man safe and sound, he could at least reduce the pressure on the old man and make the final result of the old man better.
After leaving Old Master Song's place, Qin Sheng finally felt relieved. He had to go all out for the Chang 'an Group of Shareholders' Meeting. Only in this way could he stop the Sixth Uncle's conspiracy. Therefore, he had to succeed this time.
When Qin Sheng came out, Song Hesheng had already left. Qin Sheng thought that Song Hesheng would wait for him, and then they would have a second confrontation. It seemed that it was unnecessary.
He really didn't understand why Song Hesheng thought that the relationship between him and Song Ruyu was like that. Was it because he had been in contact with Song Ruyu too often that Song Hesheng thought too much? It seemed that he didn't. He and Song Ruyu had known each other for less than a year. Even if they had met a few times, how could there be any ambiguous feelings between them?
Moreover, Song Ruyu was a proud girl. Many rich playboys in Sijiu City had to look up to her. How could she fall in love with him? Of course, Qin Sheng didn't know that the biggest reason was the engagement between the Qin Family and the Song Family. Therefore, as long as he was in contact with Song Ruyu, Song Hesheng would definitely dislike him.
Time passed quickly. A day passed unknowingly. The others were also busy. So far, they hadn't received any definite news. It seemed that the other families were a little sensitive about the contact with the Qin Family, and some were weighing the pros and cons.
On this day, Qin Sheng was finally going to meet with the Yang Family. Before coming here, Qin Sheng had discussed with his aunt and sister. If they wanted the Yang Family to support them, they had to give them enough benefits. In fact, the Yang Family was not afraid of offending the Sixth Uncle, as long as the Yang Family felt that it was worthwhile.
Although the Yang Clan had declined in recent years, the two elders of the Yang Clan were prominent enough in the past. They were definitely one of the best in Sijiu City. It was just that an unforeseen event happened later on. Since then, the Yang Clan had started to decline. This was the real reason why they kept a low profile.
If it was the Yang family in the past, the current Qin family wouldn't even take it seriously. Even if it was the sixth uncle, they wouldn't take it seriously. Because the elders of the Yang family had absolute power in the past, even if the Yang family had declined, the Yang family still had a certain amount of power. Even the Zhu family and the Yang family were inextricably linked.
The two elders of the Yang family had passed away one after another. From the way they had passed away, one could see the status of the Yang family in Sijiu City. Even after the death of the two elders, the younger generation of the Yang family could be said to be like fish in water, relying on the connections and resources they had in the past. They were the type of people who quietly made a fortune.
Perhaps in order to avoid arousing suspicion or to keep a low profile, the Yang family asked Qin Sheng to visit them at 11 o 'clock at night. At the same time, Qin Sheng was only allowed to bring one person with him. It seemed that they were afraid that others would know that they were in contact with the Qin family. Therefore, Qin Sheng could only bring Chang Baji here alone. The others stayed on the main road one kilometer away from the alley.
The alley of the Yang family was a little dark. Even some of the street lamps were broken. Chang Baji had to be careful. Qin Sheng smiled and told Chang Baji not to be so nervous. The Yang family would not take action against him, because it was not necessary.
It was not easy for them to find the dilapidated siheyuan of the Yang family. It had been in disrepair for a long time. The door looked shabby and the paint on it had fallen off. The yellowing door god seemed to be the glory of the Yang family in the past. Qin Sheng didn't know if there was anyone living here.
After Qin Sheng and Chang Baji met each other, Chang Baji went up to knock on the door. The knocking sound was a little gloomy in the night. Qin Sheng suddenly thought, why did it feel like a haunted house? They came to this dilapidated siheyuan in the middle of the night. Those who did not know would think that they were shooting a movie.
Not long after, someone finally came to open the door. The squeaking sound of the door opening was even more terrifying than the knocking sound. Fortunately, the person who opened the door was not some old man with a hunched back. Otherwise, Qin Sheng and Chang Baji would not dare to go in. If not, they would have to ask Chang Baji to ask the grandmaster to come out of the mountain. It seemed that Chang Baji was not from the Maoshan Sect.
The person who opened the door was a young man who looked about 30 years old. He was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and sweatpants. He looked quite healthy. He said directly, "Young Master Qin, please come in. The boss is waiting for you."
Qin Sheng did not know who the boss was in the Yang family. Although the two elders of the Yang family had passed away, the elders of the Yang family were still alive. They were considered old now. Qin Sheng did not know who would meet him today.
Qin Sheng nodded silently and went straight in with Chang Baji. They went straight to the door of the main hall. Fortunately, there were lights along the way. It did not look so dark. Qin Sheng was relieved.
At the door of the main hall, a young man was sitting on a chair and drinking. There were a few cold dishes on the table in front of him. There were fried peanuts, cold cucumber and tomatoes. The last dish was a meat dish, cold pig head meat and pig ears. It looked quite sumptuous. It seemed that he was living a good life.
As for the wine, it was the most common Red Star Erguotou. It was obviously the style of the old Beijing people.
After seeing Qin Sheng and Chang Baji coming in, he looked up slowly and smiled. "Brother Qin Sheng, come on, come on."
Qin Sheng thought that it would be one of the elders of the Yang family. He did not expect that it would be a young man. This young man should be a junior of the Yang family. This made Qin Sheng somewhat unhappy. He did not expect that the Yang family would only send a junior for such a big event. What did they mean in the end? Did they look down on the Qin family? Or did they do it on purpose?
If they did not want to see the people of the Qin family, they could totally refuse. Why did they have to humiliate them like this?
Chang Baji was also a little unhappy. He instantly lost his good impression of the Yang family. He stared at the young man opposite him. The young man also felt the change of Qin Sheng's mood. It seemed that he was not surprised. He said happily, "Brother, if you are willing, let's drink and talk. If you are not willing, I will not force you."
After that, the young man lowered his head and drank, ignoring Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng thought for a moment. In the end, he walked straight forward. Since he was already here, he could not just leave like this. At least, he had to figure out what the Yang family was up to. Even if he was fooled by the Yang family, Qin Sheng had to ask for justice.
After Qin Sheng walked closer, he saw the man's appearance clearly. He was the kind of man who could charm many girls. This elite style of shirt and trousers was very elegant. His accessories seemed to be carefully selected. The diamond-studded watch seemed to be from Jager. The ring and earrings should be from Van Cleef & Arpels. In addition, the pair of Spanish royal brand TB leather shoes, anyone could tell that he was a rich man.
However, such an elite dressed so formally, shouldn't he be going to Sanlitun to flirt with girls or in some high-end restaurant or hotel? Why was he drinking Erguotou and eating cheap cold dishes in this dilapidated siheyuan?
The man asked casually, "Drink two cups?"
Qin Sheng did not refuse. He directly poured himself a cup of white wine and even picked up the chopsticks to taste the pig head meat. After that, he said, "The taste is not bad."
Seeing that Qin Sheng was so casual, the man seemed to be very satisfied. He said happily, "That's for sure. This is the place where I used to eat when I was young. It's just that I haven't been back for many years, so I am a little greedy."
After Qin Sheng sat down, the man looked at Chang Baji and his confidant beside him and said, "You wait outside, I want to talk to Qin Sheng for a while."
The confidant turned and left directly. Chang Baji looked at Qin Sheng and asked for his opinion. After Qin Sheng nodded silently, he left.
At this time, the man opened his mouth and said, "Let me briefly introduce myself. My name is Yang Yi, a good-for-nothing junior of the Yang family. This is the first time we meet here. Don't think that I am not good at treating my guests well. In fact, I know quite a lot about you. It's just that you don't know me."
Qin Sheng did not say anything. He just stared at Yang Yi.
Yang Yi continued, "I know you're surprised, but don't worry. Our families are quite familiar with each other. I'm not talking about the Qin Family, but your grandfather's Zhu Family. My grandfather and your grandfather used to work together, and your uncle also served in the army under my great uncle. Do you think our families are familiar with each other?"
"It's just that something happened to our family. You should know what happened. From then on, our family gradually quieted down. On the contrary, your Zhu family rose rapidly. My granduncle often used your uncle to teach my father's generation a lesson. After my granduncle and granduncle passed away, our two families didn't have much contact." When Yang Yi talked about these past events, he sighed at first, but then he found it funny. "You should know what happened to our family. Since then, our family gradually quieted down.
These were the glory days of the family in the past. Yang Yi had witnessed it when he was young. Which family didn't have its ups and downs? Yang Yi felt that the current Yang Family was pretty good. The atmosphere was harmonious, unlike the other families that were in a mess. Some of them would do anything for the sake of so-called power, which ultimately led to the destruction of the family.
"You are older than me. I will call you Brother Yang." After hearing these words, Qin Sheng was finally willing to chat with Yang Yi.
Yang Yi said happily, "You can call me Brother Yang or Lao Yang. I don't care about these things. Actually, let me tell you a secret. My uncle used to pursue your mother. I have seen your mother's photo. She was definitely a great beauty at that time. No wonder my uncle was so obsessed with her. But later your father pursued her. Hahahaha."
"Brother Yang is really interesting," Qin Sheng said casually.
Yang Yi was silent for a moment and said, "I have no other meaning. I just want to tell you that the relationship between our two families is quite deep. It's just that you don't know about it. Maybe outsiders don't know about it either. Or maybe our Yang family is really too low-key."
"I know about this," Qin Sheng replied.
Yang Yi said happily, "Let's not talk about this. Let's have a drink first."
Qin Sheng did not refuse. After clinking glasses with Yang Yi, he drank it up.
Actually, Qin Sheng was a little curious. Yang Yi's character seemed to be very righteous and forthright. Why did he not hear much news about him in Sijiu City? Or was it that Yang Yi was just pretending?
"Let's eat. Let's eat and drink to our heart's content first. Let's drink to our heart's content first. Let's get drunk 36,000 times. Hahaha." Yang Yi poured wine for them again and laughed loudly.
Yang Yi was not in a hurry to get down to business. Qin Sheng was not in a hurry to open his mouth either. Anyway, they would talk about those things eventually. Otherwise, why would they go through so much trouble to meet today? So Qin Sheng did not care about it anymore. Let's drink first …
