Chapter Forty-Four: Playing Dirty

  Qin Zhong and others stopped in the car, only to see that what was unfolding before their eyes was actually a triad society. As Qin Zhong himself, he didn't take the triad society seriously at all, because whenever he encountered them, he would mention the law at most, and when faced with the law, he would repeatedly bring up integrity.

  "What's going on?" Qin Zhong had just asked about this matter, and Guo Dafu immediately became like a little sheep, only able to smile foolishly, unable to say anything else.

  Qin Zhong immediately got off the car, he was not in a hurry, but after being tossed around for a whole night, and now running into such a thing, he didn't need to tolerate or escape anymore, what was left in front of him was only a bloody fight.

  He got off the car with that antique dagger, walked slowly to the front of this group of people, and when he was only three or five meters away, he asked with a full breath: "What kind of people are you? Now is a society ruled by law, still doing robbery?"

  The several young men beside the middle-aged man rushed to speak first: "You little bastard, don't you want your life? Can't you see how many of us there are?"

  "How many people?" Qin Zhong laughed: "How many people are just some lawless people, I am a law-abiding citizen. If I strike back, it's self-defense. If I knock you few down, it's also a heroic act. After all, there are two unarmed people behind me. But what about you? You're committing robbery from the start, what else do you want to say?"

  That little brother wanted to say something, but was stopped by the middle-aged man: "Ah, you're a sharp-tongued and quick-witted kid, do you know what I'm least afraid of? It's idiots like you who are both stupid and hard-headed."

  "Oh? Then let's give it a try, you can all come together." Qin Zhong said this with a burst of courage, he knew that the people opposite him were not less than twenty, even if he had the ability to fight, he would not be able to beat so many people, unless he had a gun in his hand. So he targeted the middle-aged man, as long as everyone rushed forward together, he would definitely rush to the front first and take down the middle-aged man, or at least hold him hostage, this way he could put himself in an advantageous position, even if he ran, it would be easier.

  But the chaos really came from Qin Zhong's idea, and the middle-aged man just waved his hand. The twenty or so people behind him rushed up with their hands on their backs.

  Qin Zhong felt something was off, although he said it was just his own fatigue, but he gritted his teeth and had to get through this pass. He didn't know if he should have taken on so many things today, but he knew that survival was the most important thing.

  Qin Zhong didn't go to meet the encirclement of these people, but instead circled around their trajectory, taking a big detour to get in front of the middle-aged man. With two swift moves, he knocked away the middle-aged man's attack and placed his ninja sword horizontally across the man's neck: "Hey, you few don't think about coming after me again. If you still want a future, if you want money and life, then honestly listen to my words. I guarantee your ancestors will be fine."

  "Hey, kid, you're quite ruthless and quick on your feet. Good job!" The middle-aged man surprisingly praised Qin Zhong's actions.

  Qin Zhong was taken aback, what did this guy mean: "Less nonsense, follow me to the car." He pulled the middle-aged man to his own car and stretched out his hand to open the door, but it didn't open.

  The middle-aged man sighed and said: "Alas, this car has some problems. It's been repaired many times but still can't be fixed. Open the front door."

  Qin Zhong was even more astonished. What kind of thing was this? But at this time, he couldn't care about so much. He kicked the car door with his foot, signaling that Guo Dafu should open the car door.

  Guo Dafu's face turned bright red as he opened the car door, looking at the middle-aged man with a mixture of fear and trepidation. However, intimidated by Qin Zhong's dagger, he still took the middle-aged man in. Qin Zhong immediately got into the car and stuck his head out to shout at the people outside: "You young punks, get out of my way! I promise your boss won't die. Don't play gangster with me, I'm a law-abiding citizen. What I'm doing now is just protecting myself and my brother. Get out of the way!"

  Qin Zhong said, waving the knife in his hand back and forth outside the car window, making those little brothers who were close to the car door retreat a bit further. He then told the driver in front, "Hurry up and drive, find a safe place to drop him off."

  The driver nodded with a great deal of effort, as if it was very painful for him to respond: "Okay, okay!"

  The car sped towards the intersection of the suburban highway, and after running for half an hour, they found that the car behind had already gone far away. Only then did Qin Zhong let out a sigh of relief and said: "Alright, you can get off the car now. I won't hurt you, but you can't bring me trouble either. Go!"

  The middle-aged man looked at Qin Zhong, and a smile of indescribable comfort suddenly appeared on his face. Qin Zhong could see that this smile was absolutely not malicious, and it also carried a lot of kindness and care.

  Although he said he was puzzled, he still asked in a cold voice: "What do you mean by this?"

  "Haha, I didn't mean it, what I meant to say is that from now on, I'll leave my son in your care, and I can finally be at ease!" The middle-aged man said, turning his head to glance at Guo Dafu. He then wrapped his arm around Guo's shoulder, their faces close together: "Don't you think we two look quite alike?"

  "What?" Qin Zhong's mind buzzed for a moment, feeling that he had been fooled by others. It turned out that these two men had been testing him all along. He silently cursed this old fox, wondering how things could have turned out like this.

  Qin Zhong finally spoke up after half a day: "Like, your mother's, I've been fooled by you guys. From now on, stay away from me, I don't want to bring trouble to your son." Qin Zhong was really angry, but he thought about how Guo Dafu had acted like a brother since the beginning until they met that middle-aged man. Although he was a bit too honest and straightforward, and his brain seemed to be lacking something, sometimes he was still quite good.

  At this moment, the middle-aged man asked the driver to turn off the fire and got out of the car to chase after Qin Zhong. He grabbed Qin Zhong and said, "Alright, don't think too much about it for now. Just listen to me first, and then you can decide whether or not to take my son with you."

  "Alright, you've already wasted so much time on me, it doesn't matter if I give you five more minutes. Just five minutes, not a single minute more."

  "Good!" The middle-aged man, who was also Guo Dafu's father, began to explain how he had helped Guo Dafu find a good person to follow, how he had disciplined his own son, and how Guo Dafu had praised Qin Zhong in front of him. As he spoke, he waved his hand again, and dozens more people emerged from the sides of the road. He said softly, "How about it? What I'm saying isn't false, after all, it's for my son's sake. As long as he's doing well, I'll do whatever it takes. You see, these are my younger brothers who follow me."

  "Them?" Qin Zhong was indeed moved by the aura of Guo Dafu's father, and from the calmness on his face, as well as the subtlety of his words, Qin Zhong could already feel the charm emanating from this person. However, all he saw in Guo Dafu was a sense of righteousness.

  Qin Zhong didn't say much more, but silently agreed to Guo Dafu's father's request. To test his sincerity, he casually said: "You guys go back, I'll walk back with him."

  "Huh? Fine, we don't care about you guys anyway, come on, let's go back with me."

  This group of people seemed like a bunch of madmen, rushing off in all directions, leaving only Qin Zhong and Guo Dafu behind.

  "Big brother, why don't you just follow my dad's car? We haven't slept all night!"

  "Uh-huh, I knew that too. We even fought all night, but I think it's better to head back and sleep with a start, not getting up until I've had enough rest."

  "Good!"

  Two people, at this moment their emotions seem to have deepened even more. Qin Zhong seems to have a sense of responsibility towards Guo Da Fu. Just as the two were about to leave, a person emerged from under the highway, muttering: "My god, I've finally caught up with you, my old lady, I've been searching for you all night."

  The newcomer was Big Tooth. He didn't know why this guy had been following Qin Zhong for a whole night, and still hadn't helped at all. Only now did he catch up, and Qin Zhong was truly at his wit's end.

  Three people took four hours to walk back into Andong City, all the way to the archives. The three of them entered the first floor rest room and fell asleep as soon as they lay down.

  After an unknown period of time, Qin Zhong slowly opened his eyes to find that it was already bright outside. He saw Guo Dafu and Da Ya embracing each other tightly, sleeping soundly like a pair of good brothers.
