Chapter 327 I Can Only Go There

In the end, they had set up a trap in Huang Mei Town and intended to rely on their overwhelming advantage to annihilate Qin Sheng completely. Unfortunately, they had failed due to Zhuang Zhou and Nan Gong’s presence. The situation, which had taken place in Mount Jiuhua, did not occur again.At this moment, Qin Sheng had entirely disappeared into the dim light of the night. The bodies of the two men, who had been chasing after Qin Sheng, lay there rigidly. Feng He felt somewhat frightened and concerned. If he could not locate Qin Sheng, he would be severely punished after returning to the Yan Family. It was because he knew it was the Second Uncle, who had stipulated the plan this time on his own. Unlike the Young Master, who was quite approachable, as the Yan Family’s current man in charge, the Second Uncle would definitely be just and stern to him at that time.However, Gu Xiaobo was more scared and nervous than Feng He. If Qin Sheng had really gotten away successfully, he would take revenge against him in the future. Even if Qin Sheng would not take revenge, as long as he informed Senior Uncle Chang about his betrayal, the group of people in his master’s sect would tear this place apart until they found him. After that, they would mercilessly kill him.Thus, he must find Qin Sheng.Fearing that Feng He would give up on finding Qin Sheng, Gu Xiaobo tried to persuade him in a hurry. “Brother Qin, we can’t let him run away. Perhaps he is just behind us. We should continue chasing after him.”Of course, Feng He was aware of Gu Xiaobo’s thoughts quite well. Though they had different concerns, the fact that whether Qin Sheng was dead or alive mattered to them. Hence, Feng He did not hesitate at all. He ordered hurriedly, “You stay here, watch over the situation and get rid of the bodies. Gu Xiaobo, you and I will continue chasing Qin Sheng. Let’s kill anybody who dares to resist.”Gu Xiaobo replied, “OK.” The look in his eyes was malicious.They left right away, only the master was left behind to clear up the mess. After all, there were three bodies in the forest. Once the bodies were found the next day, they would be in big trouble.Chang Baji had left the tree-lined track. It was not until Chang Baji had left that Chu Sikong bent over and coughed several times. In the end, he spat out the extravasated blood in his chest. Obviously, Chu Sikong had not gained the upper hand in the earlier fierce battle. The reason he had gotten the advantage over Chang Baji was that Chang Baji had been distracted.At this moment, two men, who had been following Chu Sikong, ran in a hurry and asked, “Mr. Chu, are you alright?”Chu Sikong shook his hands. After that, he stood up and he said, “I am fine. You don’t need to worry about me. Call the people on the other side and inquire about the situation there.”His underling frowned. “Then, we are not going to kill this man, right?”Chu Sikong snorted as he replied, “You know nothing at all.”His underling immediately swallowed his words. Then, he called and inquired about the situation on the other side. Chu Sikong was lost in thoughts. He knew the issue between him and Chang Baji would not come to an end in such a manner. They would meet each other again. When they met each other the next time, what would the result be?After Chang Baji left, he called Qin Sheng, Gu Qingyang, and Gu Xiaobo immediately. Unfortunately, their mobiles were all unusable due to the water damage. Consequently, Chang Baji could not get in touch with anyone of them at all.After Chang Baji rushed to the riverside, he found out that though Qin Sheng had parked the car there, nobody was present. Chang Baji realized that something had gone seriously wrong. He looked around carefully but could not find anyone.Could it be that Qin Sheng’s group had met danger?Chang Baji felt somewhat scared. Anyway, he needed to find a way to locate them. Despite that he had suffered serious injuries, he had no choice but to continue looking for Qin Sheng’s group’s traces.At this moment, Qin Sheng had successfully escaped. After all, Gu Qingyang had earned time for him in exchange for his life. Zhuang Zhou and Nan Gong had helped him get rid of his biggest obstacle. Based on Qin Sheng’s capability, if he had been unable to get away, he would have been doomed to die there.After Nan Gong and Zhuang Zhou had been done with their battles, they had been chasing after Qin Sheng for ten whole minutes. However, they had still to find Qin Sheng’s trace. Their current location was not as desolate as that in the forest. The villages, streets, and so on, could be seen from here. As a result, Zhuang Zhou and Nan Gong stopped and started to discuss their options.After pondering for a while, Zhuang Zhou made a decision. “We can leave this place. He should be safe now.”The look on Nan Gong’s face was somewhat ghastly. After all, it was early winter, and she was soaked to the bone, feeling pretty cold. However, she was more concerned about Qin Sheng’s safety. Thus, she asked, “So, should we stop chasing after him? What if he meets an accident?”Zhuang Zhou shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, “I do intend to go on chasing after him. The question is in which direction we should go. It is extremely difficult for us to find him now. As I said, if he escapes successfully this time, he will use his other identity. If so, we will know his whereabouts at that time.” In today’s society, without IDs, one simply could not move a single step at all. Consequently, instead of using his real name, Qin Sheng would definitely use his former identity in Xiamen. Only in this way could he escape safely.Upon hearing Zhuang Zhou’s words, Nan Gong had no choice but to follow Zhuang Zhou’s arrangement. Hence, they detoured, returned to the car, and planned to rush at Wuhan overnight. As a matter of fact, they did not know that Wuhan was Qin Sheng’s original destination. However, after thinking about it further, since Wuhan was the closest provincial city to Huang Mei Town and Qin Sheng’s members had converged there, of course, it was possible that Qin Sheng would head there.After they got in the car, they called Qin Changan in Beijing immediately with their backup phones, reporting everything that had happened tonight. Morning would come soon as the sky was turning bright in the east. Qin Changan had not fallen asleep yet. Gongsun, who had been by his side all the time, had urged him many times. Even so, Qin Changan did not have any plans to go to bed.After all, as a father, even though it was he who had insisted on getting things done in this way, his biological son’s life was uncertain. He would certainly feel anxious.When Gongsun answered Zhuang Zhou’s call, Qin Changan’s eyes were twitching subconsciously. Zhuang Zhou summarized all that had happened tonight with a few simple sentences first and told Gongsun the outcome in the end. Gongsun was radiant with joy. Qin Changan saw Gongsun’s expression and knew that everything was fine. He was completely at ease now.After Gongsun hung up the phone, he ran over and said excitedly, “Master, Young Master is fine. Remember what I said before, Young Master is good and destined to be protected by God. It is not possible for him to meet with any mishap. You can feel at ease.”With a gentle smile on his lips, Qin Changan concealed the happiness in his heart. After that, he said in a low voice, “How is the situation now?”Gongsun repeated what Zhuang Zhou had said. “Zhuang Zhou and Nan Gong assisted Young Master in escaping smoothly. So far, they don’t know where Young Master is. If he uses his former identity in Xiamen, they can locate his position and find him. At this moment, they intend to head to Wuhan. Based on their conjectures, Young Master will probably go to Wuhan.”Qin Changan nodded quietly. After that, he glimpsed at his watch and said, “Let’s go. Leave for the airport now.”Gongsun asked out of concern, “Master, you did not sleep last night. Aren’t you going to rest for a while? Health is important.” After all, Qin Changan was old and could not simply recover after staying up for a whole night.Qin Changan shook his head. “Ran Ran will be home soon. Do you think I can fall asleep? At that time, she might tear the whole housing down, aren’t you afraid of that?”Gongsun got his point immediately and smiled happily. “What you said makes sense. Not everybody can bear Ran Ran’s temper.”In Huang Mei Town, Feng He and Gu Xiaobo kept chasing after Qin Sheng for nearly half an hour. However, they did not find any trace related to him. In this case, both of them were completely in a panic. Feng He did not know what he should do. Gu Xiaobo was utterly dissipated and regretted more that he had made up his mind to betray Qin Sheng at that time.Feng He thought twice before he made up his mind to report to Hu Lan. Whatever the punishment would be, he would certainly be the scapegoat this time. Unfortunately, his mobile could not be turned on due to water damage. They had no choice but to return to the parking spot and converge with their group, including Chu Sikong.Chang Baji had been looking for Qin Sheng for twenty minutes nearby to no avail. He had no choice but to return to the parking spot first and search while driving.By the time he came back, Chu Sikong and his underlings had left. Consequently, Chang Baji did not have any considerations. He restarted his car and looked about aimlessly in the surroundings without ever running into Gu Xiaobo and Feng He.When the sky was slightly bright, Chang Baji received a text from a strange number. However, the text content made Chang Baji feel complicated. It was Qin Sheng who had sent him the text. The text content was listed as below: “I already left safe and sound and will contact you after everything is good on my side. In order to protect me, Qinyang covered the retreat and his life is uncertain. Plus, never should you contact Gu Xiaobo. He betrayed us and is the main culprit of what happened tonight. Are you alright?”Chang Baji parked his car stably and stared at his mobile phone. The look in his eyes was complicated. Qin Sheng’s text explained everything that had happened tonight. Obviously, they had been lured there due to Gu Xiaobo’s betrayal. It did not occur to him that Gu Xiaobo would betray and cause them such a great loss. Chang Baji was pretty concerned since Qinyang’s life was still uncertain. Meanwhile, he felt relieved as Qin Sheng had escaped successfully. As for Gu Xiaobo, since he had betrayed them, Chang Baji would find and ask for an explanation from him. After all, Gu Xiaobo was responsible for everything that had happened tonight.After that, Chang Baji texted Qin Sheng back instead of calling him since he was not sure which kind of environment Qin Sheng was in now. If he called him back, Qin Sheng’s identity might be exposed. The text content was listed as below: “I know everything. I was also in some trouble and slightly injured, but it’s nothing serious. You need to change your plan since you can’t go to Wuhan now. Contact me after you make up your mind.”After Qin Sheng received Chang Baji’s text, he felt at ease. It was somewhat risky for him to text Chang Baji. If Chang Baji had met with a mishap, his mobile must be placed at others’ hands. At that time, they could locate him through the mobile number he was using now. Though they might not be able to find him, he certainly would be in trouble.Based on the text content and the manner of speaking, obviously, it was Chang Baji, who had sent him the text. Since Chang Baji was not in trouble, Qin Sheng was at ease.Presently, Qin Sheng was in a freight truck. However, instead of heading for Huang Mei Town, the freight truck headed for Jiujiang City, which was on the opposite side of Huang Mei Town. Qin Sheng had borrowed the mobile from the driver. As for how Qin Sheng had convinced the driver to do so, of course, he had found a reasonable excuse and made the driver take it with a pinch of salt.Qin Sheng squinted and rested. Before that, he had informed the driver to wake him up after arriving in Jiujiang. Of course, he would reward the driver accordingly. Though the cash inside the wallet had been soaked wet, money was still money.Since Qin Sheng could not go to Wuhan, nor could he rely on the Zhang family, what should be his next station?Could it be that he could only go there?
