Chapter 438 Like a Storm (Part 2)
Qin Sheng had hit Lin Songhao so hard that the dignity of Third Master Lin was bitterly hurt. Lin Songhao was raging and couldn’t wait to beat Qin Sheng to the graveyard to reassure his position in Ningbo. But he would never imagine that Qin Sheng had created a chessboard even before he arrived in Ningbo, which was for the Lin Family, but was now for Lin Songhao since he stepped into the game on his own.
The fight on the bank of the Yongjiang River had started. Qin Sheng and his people were fighting fiercely; they had to be particularly careful when facing so many enemies. If they failed to survive tonight, everything would be meaningless.
Their enemies were approaching from all directions and it was hard to count how many they were due to the darkness. Qin Sheng and his people seemed to be in a disadvantageous situation. However, apart from the two bodyguards, who were less capable, Qin Sheng, Chang Baji, and Nan Gong still gained the upper hand. They didn’t need to beat all those enemies, they just needed to buy 10 minutes, which was not difficult.
Qin Sheng dodged two men’s slashes carefully, grabbed one’s arm, kicked him in the stomach, and at the same time, took his knife. This man was kicked into the air and hit four or five men behind him. Qin Sheng brandished the knife and slashed on the shoulder of someone by his side, whom blood erupted out of.
Chang Baji and Nan Gong were calmer and more experienced than Qin Sheng since they had been in this kind of predicament quite a lot of times, deeply knowing that confronting and courage were the most important things in this situation, and any hesitation or fear would get them into greater trouble.
Nan Gong almost lost her head, fighting and killing like Death, and nobody could stop her. They had made an agreement before that they should only hurt people, rather than kill them. Nobody dared to directly fight against Nan Gong. Some took steps back once Nan Gong went forward, and those who tried to confront her were all beaten down to the ground, which scared the rest.
Chang Baji was helping the two bodyguards, who were hurt badly. They lacked this kind of experience. One had wounds on his back and abdomen, and the other, on his thigh and shoulder; both looked horrible.
The fight was at its climax with blood everywhere. If there were any passers-by, they would definitely be very scared. Lin Su, standing in the center, however, was fearless. Blood was sometimes spattered on her, but she didn’t care. Lin Su was iron-willed inside.
The 50 killers with weapons were being controlled by these five people, which made the leading man of the killer group anxious. If they failed, Third Master Lin would give him tough punishment.
So he shouted, “One million yuan to kill any one of them. Go!”
A high reward pushed people to be brave, which was a basic principle of this material world. Rich people could buy one’s life, and some committed crimes, killing people for money.
Those who had been withdrawing were pushed by the leading killers’ words and rushed toward Qin Sheng and his men recklessly.
At this moment, the other two backup bodyguards arrived. One of them drove their car into the crowd, knocking some of the killers into the air before they understood what happened. But he was stopped by a few killers, who broke the car window, and couldn’t help backing the car up and attracting the killers’ attention away from Qin Sheng.
The other was a better driver. He turned the steering wheel with a tricky technique and stopped near Qin Sheng and his people, shouting, “Mr. Qin, let’s go!”
Chang Baji and Nan Gong stopped the killers, preventing them from approaching. Qin Sheng pulled Lin Su. “Get in the car.”
Lin Su didn’t hesitate and did as told. She had to be safe so that Qin Sheng and his people could deal with those killers without scruple.
“Leave us. Go!” When Lin Su got in the car, Qin Sheng shouted to the bodyguard driving the car.
The bodyguard was worried. “But you, Mr. Qin…”
“Go! Now!” Qin Sheng didn’t bother to speak so he just shouted an order.
The bodyguard didn’t hesitate anymore and drove away to guarantee the safety of this beautiful lady.
Since Lin Su was no longer there, Qin Sheng was now fearless. The only thing he was afraid of was what had happened in Huang Mei Town, when someone died to protect his life. He would feel guilty for the rest of his life. Chang Baji and Nan Gong were still here, so Qin Sheng would never leave.
Though Lin Su had left, they still faced great pressure by the large number of killers. The two bodyguards fighting with them had fallen down, covered with wounds, surrounded by Qin Sheng, Chang Baji, and Nan Gong for protection. They looked terrible with specks of blood all over their clothes. Even Qin Sheng was hurt, but not seriously.
The killers saw the hope and became more reckless. They rushed toward Qin Sheng and his people, one wave after another. Qin Sheng and his group had no other choice but to withdraw.
Qin Sheng cursed. “F*ck, we’ll be dead if the backup doesn’t arrive in a minute.”
While at this very moment, the wailing of police sirens broke through the darkness of night from all directions. The police cars, with all their lights on, made a large circle with the fighting people inside. The policemen with weapons were ready.
Lin Songhao’s killers knew that they were in real trouble the moment they heard the sirens resounding. They were so afraid that they dropped their knives and escaped right away. As long as they weren’t caught by the police, Third Master Lin would solve the problem.
But they were so wrong this time.
With hundreds of policemen chasing, it was almost impossible to escape, some even jumped into the river. But they might also die in the river due to the swift current.
The situation turned upside down in a few seconds. Qin Sheng and his people felt relieved once they saw the policemen, but they were in a bad condition as the two bodyguards felt dizzy and Qin Sheng felt painful.
Qin Sheng and his people stood still, dropping their weapons and watching the policemen chase those killers. The policemen also surrounded them.
They didn’t wait long before an official in charge of this case from the municipal public security bureau came in a rush. He was scared by the bloody scene and was deeply worried that if the important person was dead, they would all be blamed and even be fired. He asked anxiously, “Is Mr. Qin here…”
Qin Sheng looked bad with specks of blood covering his body and several holes in his clothes, through which wounds could be seen. He sneered and said, “I am here. Director Liu, your police force is not very responsible in their job, huh?”
Director Liu was exactly the “second in command” mentioned by Director Guo, who was at the Lins’ house. He didn’t expect that “Mr. Qin” would be such a young man, and he was in such a dangerous situation. Realizing that he had gotten into real trouble, Director Liu’s face became stone.
Director Liu was in his late 40s, a key time period to make a further step to become the “first in command”. But the trouble tonight might destroy all his efforts.
Director Liu was quite nervous and said something to comfort Qin Sheng in a hurry. “Mr. Qin, sorry for your situation, we should’ve hurried faster. I’ll ask people to take you to the hospital. I’ll handle all of this and report this case to the relative officials on the municipal level. You’ll be absolutely content with the result.”
Qin Sheng didn’t want to trouble Director Liu, a small potato in a political position. He just said, “OK, thank you for your help. I believe in the Ningbo City government.”
Then, Qin Sheng and his people, driven by a few police officers, left. Qin Sheng specially asked Director Liu to send the two bodyguards of the Qu Family to the nearest hospital as soon as possible. These two had helped them a lot, and in addition to the Qu Family’s payment to them, he would definitely give them a satisfying reward.
Qin Sheng finally saw Lin Su, who was waiting on a highway off to the side. Lin Su rushed to him the moment they found each other, holding his hand. “Are you all right?”
Qin Sheng shook his head and smiled with a sense of comforting. “I’m fine, but with a few wounds. I am going to the hospital to deal with them.”
Lin Su then turned to Chang Baji and Nan Gong, asking about their situations. They both shook their heads and said that they were fine. Though their rivals had such a larger number, they always gained the upper hand so it was not life-threatening.
After that, they went to the hospital and got Qin Sheng checked out and bandaged first. Though he was not badly hurt, a wound infection might threaten his life.
On their way to the hospital, Qin Sheng called his sister. Qin Ran hadn’t fallen asleep. She was not waiting for Qin Sheng’s call, but working on some troublesome business of her company. Qin Sheng was also important, but what she was working on was related to the future of the Qin Family.
Qin Ran picked up the phone and put down the files in her hand. She asked in a soft voice, “All good?”
Qin Sheng told the truth. “Sister, we got into a bad fight. Just now, your younger brother almost died there.”
Qin Ran’s face froze the moment she heard Qin Sheng’s words. She didn’t imagine that those bastards would really take action, so she had to do something to teach those people a hard lesson on behalf of the Qin Family.
“Got it, you’re all right?” Qin Ran asked, carefully and worriedly.
Qin Sheng answered in a low tone, “Not badly hurt. I am on my way to the hospital. The Qu Family arranged two bodyguards for me, who were badly injured, but the rest of us are still good.”
Qin Ran squinted her eyes like a fox, planning something. “Do you know who they are?”
“Not yet. Still waiting for the investigation by the Ningbo municipal public security bureau. Thanks to them, or I’d be dead now.”
Qin Ran said, “Go to the hospital. I’ll handle the rest. I’ll let you know once I get any information.”
“Mmm, got it.” Qin Sheng nodded and hung up.
Qin Ran then informed their father in Beijing of what had happened in Ningbo. So the Qin Family set out to put some pressure on the relative people and families in Ningbo through their sources.
An hour later, when Qin Sheng was finished in the hospital, changed his clothes, and was about to go back to the hotel, information came from the Ningbo municipal public security bureau that it was Lin Songhao.
As a consequence, a war that targeted Lin Songhao began like a storm. On the morning of the next day, the news would be spread to every corner of Ningbo City; in other words, the character of Third Master Lin would disappear on the stage of Ningbo forever…
