Strongest Counterattack - Chapter 437 - Like a Storm (Part 1)

Lin Songhao asked his people to monitor Qin Sheng the moment he left the Lins’ house. He had searched for information about Qin Sheng, who was the target of the Yan Family, the Qu Family, and Third Master Wu. But as far as he had found out, Qin Sheng was no more than a common young man, so Lin Songhao was not afraid of him, thinking that he was careless to have the protection of only two strong bodyguards.

After all, no matter how hard Lin Songhao tried to search on Qin Sheng, he found nothing about his experiences after leaving Hangzhou. And Qin Sheng had a new identity, which was known to only a few people.

Lin Songhao was impatient to wait any longer. Ningbo was his place. If anybody knew that he was hit by someone from elsewhere so hard, they would never look up to him again. Though he still had no idea of where Qin Sheng had been in the last two months, Lin Songhao thought it was nothing at all. Compared with the 25 years he had spent on reaching his present height, Qin Sheng’s two months was just a drop in the ocean.

Even those real big shots in politics and business circles had to show some respect to Lin Songhao in consideration of his capability, wealth, and power.

He had been waiting for the whole day and finally got a chance. Lin Songhao never missed any chances once they presented themselves. So he asked his people to take action without hesitation to remove Qin Sheng before he got any chance to leave Ningbo.

Lin Songhao was in such a rage that he was sparing no efforts now. The Lin Family, however, did nothing, as if nothing had happened in their house and the old lady didn’t even hear a word about it. The Lin Brothers refused all visitors and allowed nobody at home to go out and contact Lin Su. They only arranged some people to observe Lin Songhao and Qin Sheng and waited for information in the study.

The Yongjiang River, with its swift current, was like the mother of Ningbo, feeding the people living there. Ningbo City, with its advantages in natural environment, transportation, and talents, used to be richer than Hangzhou, but had been declining in recent years; even Xiamen, the newly emerging city in Fujian Province, developed more rapidly than Ningbo.

Lin Su, holding Qin Sheng’s arm, wandered along the river bank, while Chang Baji and Nan Gong following behind, keeping a distance of three meters, and the two Qu Family bodyguards, about five meters, for the safety of Qin Sheng and to not disturb the two love birds.

“Where are you going? Beijing, or…” Lin Su and Qin Sheng were chatting about their future. She, of course, was willing to follow Qin Sheng anywhere he would go.

Qin Sheng viewed the light of the city in the distance. “Still no idea. I’m taking a course in the School of Economics and Management at Tsinghua University. I’ll finish in April and then I’ll be given a further plan. After all, I got this new identity, and I cannot just do as I wish.”

“But what’s your idea?” Lin Su asked, knowing that Qin Sheng had to have his own destination.

Qin Sheng held Lin Su’s hand tightly and said, “I want to stay in Shanghai. After all, that’s where I’m familiar with, and my granny lives there. I really want to spend more time with her, and half of the Qin Family’s businesses are in Shanghai. But, maybe I should go to Beijing, since my father and sister are there and the headquarters of the Qin Family’s enterprise is also in Beijing. You know, Beijing means more opportunities.”

“So… you haven’t made up your mind?” Lin Su asked.

Qin Sheng nodded and said, “Mmm, I wonder more about the Qin Family’s businesses and I’ll talk with my father about my future career. Anyway, you just follow me, don’t worry.”

“You dare not abandon me, right?” Lin Su offered a teasing grin, feeling warm in her heart.

Qin Sheng giggled. “Never, ever. You’re the best for me.”

Lin Su smiled happily and laid her head against Qin Sheng’s chest, listening to her loved one’s heartbeat. “Tell me about your family, your father, and your sister. Do you think they will like me?”

“My father? To be honest, I don’t quite know him. He’s always calm and easy with anybody and anything. I’ve heard something about him from others. He’s capable, both on the ground and also the underworld. My sister, she’s really good to me. She’s in her 30s, but still single. You know why?” Qin Sheng felt proud of his sister for her good looks and felt warm-hearted for how well she had treated him.

Lin Su was curious. “Why?”

Qin Sheng said with a happy expression behind his eyes, “She had sworn in front of our mother’s tomb, promising that she would never marry until she found me. Now you understand her attitude about me.”

“I’m sorry to hear that.” Lin Su was moved and found that something important was just mentioned. “And, what… Your mother’s already passed away?” Lin Su asked in astonishment.

“An old story of the Qin Family. She passed away when I was very young due to some accident, and then I was taken away by my grandfather from Beijing. I’ll tell you all of that later.” Qin Sheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Lin Su felt painful for Qin Sheng. “Did you feel very sad when you were informed of that?”

“Of course. I thought I’d definitely see my mother, and didn’t expect this. I felt some regret but had to accept it. It’s too late and I could do nothing to change it.” Qin Sheng sighed.

Lin Su felt hurt no less than Qin Sheng, but she just said “Mm”, and hugged Qin Sheng tighter. She was relying on Qin Sheng even more since they had reunited.

Qin Sheng didn’t want the sad atmosphere to continue, so he said something else. “I haven’t told you that my father and sister already knew about you, right? You’re surprised?”

Lin Su didn’t understand him and waited for his explanation.

“Since I went back to Shanghai, they had arranged people to protect me without letting me know. They knew everything happening to me over the past two years. Do you remember that Uncle Zhuang, who had helped us a lot? He’s my father’s man. They already know everything about us, so if they didn’t like you, they would have told me when I was in Beijing, but then didn’t. So, don’t worry.”

Lin Su was astonished by Qin Sheng’s explanation and she froze. This was quite a great deal of information and she obviously needed time to digest it all.

“Honey, I’ll tell you more later, but now we have a problem.” Qin Sheng’s face became like stone.

At this very moment, Qin Sheng heard the clear sound of footsteps and many figures in the dark approaching. His rivals had shown themselves finally. No matter who was behind them, Qin Sheng was happy to enjoy this interesting night.

Chang Baji, Nan Gong, and the two bodyguards of the Qu Family approached them in a second to protect Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng wouldn’t do anything when he was not prepared, especially when Lin Su was with him. He would never risk her life.

Qin Sheng dialed a number and said in a soft voice, “Our prey is here, go and get them.”

Lin Songhao had paid the high cost of 50 capable killers for this night. These people feared nothing at all and were good at martial arts, quite professional. He was confident that he would send Qin Sheng and his few bodyguards to the graveyard.

When those people rushed toward Qin Sheng and his people from all directions, Qin Sheng’s face froze. If he had not been fully prepared, they would have been in real danger.

“Good job.” Qin Sheng sneered.

Nan Gong was a bit irritated. “Stop speaking nonsense. Do something! Foster Father would blame me for your death.”

Qin Sheng turned to the two bodyguards of the Qu Family, and said softly, “You can kill people. You won’t get into any trouble with the cops for this night. The Qu Family and I will both pay for your efforts.”

The two bodyguards, who were nervous before, now relaxed a lot. With this promise, they were willing to do anything to protect this big shot.

“Honey, don’t be afraid. If you’re really scared, just close your eyes, I’m here with you.” Qin Sheng put his arm around Lin Su’s shoulders and comforted her. This might be too much for a gentle and mild little young lady.

Lin Su nodded but was not afraid at all because Qin Sheng was by her side. She would never regret it, even if she might die here. The only thing she was worried about was if these people were sent by her family.

Qin Sheng didn’t stay behind everybody, but stood next to Chang Baji. The five people surrounded Lin Su, forming a protective circle around the delicate beauty.

“Mr. Qin, why are you…” A bodyguard frowned.

Qin Sheng revealed a small smile. “Hold on. I’m not weak. You’ll see.”

Then the two bodyguards didn’t say a word and focused on their enemies. It was dark at night, and it was difficult for them to ensure the number and location of those people.

At this very moment, Lin Songhao’s people, all with weapons, rushed in front of Qin Sheng and his people. They were all reckless and bold, aiming to kill someone.

“Slash! Kill them!” the leading man shouted, encouraging the others behind.

Qin Sheng and his group moved almost at the same time. When their enemies were two meters away, they confronted them and pushed. In a second, the smell of blood was drilling into everyone’s nose.

The other two bodyguards of the Qu Family, who had been hiding at a distance, heard the noise, had no time to call for help, and just drove toward the battleground directly.

In the meantime, the sirens of several patrol wagons of the municipal public security bureau of Ningbo City sounded on the road, as well as the police force nearby, heading to that very place.

The game had just started…
