Chapter 149
Be it the most talented tiger-man or one with the most powerful background, no matter what they were doing, they would wish for as least trouble as possible . No one would want to inflict trouble onto themselves, let alone something as challenging as murder, let alone on foreign land .
For Feng He and Uncle Zhen, the best opportunity would be on that only mountain road that led to the town . Unfortunately, they arrived more than an hour later than Qin Sheng . Otherwise, it would be the best choice to ambush there earlier .
Feng He and Uncle Zhen were going to do it personally . They were unwilling to entrust the matter to other people . They also wanted to make sure word does not get out . Hence, they sent people into the school to keep track of Qin Sheng's movement while they stayed outside of the two and waited for the best timing .
Qin Sheng and Chang Baji were warming themselves up in Mr . Wang's hostel . It was currently the wee hours of the morning . This small town that was not very big was eerily quiet . Other than the road lamps, there were only a few other lights that were still turned on . It was also the case in school . Currently, only the light in Mr . Wang's hostel was turned on .
A few years ago, when Mr . Wang first came to the school, the living conditions were very terrible . Three teachers squeezed into a run-down hostel . It was very cold during the winter . After the new school was built, the teachers' hostel finally had some adjustments . Each teacher got their own hostel with air conditioners installed . They could more or least survive the winter . Anyway, the sponsor took care of all of the school's incurred expenses .
Mr . Wang poured warm water for Qin Sheng and Chang Baji and took out some snacks . He heard them say that they were a bit hungry, as they had driven for a long time . He was about to prepare to make some food for them . Qin Sheng and Chang Baji did not make any requests and they both settled with a bowl of instant noodles .
Mr . Wang was more or less touched by their behavior . He smiled and said, "You guys have really suffered a lot . "
"What are all these as compared to yours?" Qin Sheng knew what Mr . Wang was going to say, but he was really full of respects for him, deep down from his heart . What he said was the truth too . What they had done was really nothing . Mr . Wang had stayed here for four years, as compared to him, their sacrifices were really too minor .
Mr . Wang was a bit embarrassed . He had already gotten used to this lifestyle and he did not feel that he was doing something great . He only felt that as long as what he was doing was what he liked doing, then it was already enough . As to how everyone else thinks, he had never cared about them . If one had to live his whole life in a way that people want you to live, then you would be very unhappy . When you turn old, you would not even know what you had lived for .
Mr . Wang had already prepared two blankets for them . He planned for them to sleep on the bed and he would make a bed on the floor for a night . If Qin Sheng does not leave the next day, Mr . Wang planned for him to stay at the town's guest house . At least the condition there was better . Hence, Mr . Wang smiled as he said, "Please bear with it tonight, tomorrow I'll arrange for you two to stay at the guest house . "
Qin Sheng and Chang Baji did not plan on staying too long, let alone overnight . They had to quickly return to Shanghai . Qin Sheng replied immediately, "Mr . Wang, no need for the trouble . We're just staying for a while . "
"Staying for a while? It's already so late, where are you guys going?" Mr . Wang was very surprised .
Qin Sheng explained, "There's still a bunch of stuff in Shanghai, we have to hurry and head back, so we're just going to rest a bit and continue driving back to Chengdu through the night . We should probably be able to reach tomorrow afternoon . We'll then catch a flight and aim to rush back by night time . "
"What? You guys are leaving so soon? That's too rushed! Besides, it's already midnight and it's all mountain roads . It's too dangerous," said Mr . Wang as he quickly held onto Qin Sheng after hearing what he said . During night time, very few people would drive along the mountain road that led to the town, because there were many car accidents each year . Besides, it was extremely unsafe at night .
Qin Sheng replied casually, "Mr . Wang, don't worry, our driving skills are perfect . We will drive slowly and rotate . Besides, we are all grown men, there's really not much to worry about . If I was free, I would naturally be willing to stay longer, but there's really too many things waiting to be settled in Shanghai . "
Mr . Wang frowned and thought about it . He realized that they were right . After all, Qin Sheng was not a regular person, they had jobs and career in Shanghai . Qing Sheng must have caused some delay to his work by taking this round-trip . Perhaps this was why they could not wait to go back .
"Since that's the case, then I shall not keep you . But you guys better be careful, always update me about your whereabouts, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to fall asleep," said Mr . Wang in a low voice .
Qin Sheng agreed immediately . They were finally on the same page regarding this issue . They chatted for a while, discussing the local customs and some of the practical problems that the children would face in school . Mr . Wang said that for the past few years, Lin Su had contributed significantly to the school . She would often donate facilities like books etc . , especially clothes for the children . Her charity fund even prioritized this place . There were already nearly a thousand students that have benefitted from her funding . Hence, he appreciated Lin Su from the bottom of his heart . It was really eye-opening to see a women reach such a high level and have such capabilities .
"Last time you left very rushed and I didn't manage to ask you . How's Lin Su now? She's not young anymore, is she still not considering her personal problems? Every time I asked her over the phone, she would say that there's no rush, perhaps there was no fate yet," asked Mr . Wang out of concern . Actually, he did like Lin Su, but it was just pure like, with no other thoughts .
Qin Sheng did not know how to reply to him . He could not possibly say proudly, Lin Su is now my woman, right? Hence, he replied courteously, "About this, you will know next time you ask her on the phone . "
"Seems like there is an update, just tell me honestly . When I ask her again and she would tell me to think about my own problems . Let's save the trouble," Mr . Wang laughed heartily .
