Chapter 245 Brother Leopard's True Motive

Brother Bao and his group left. Qi Hou patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he urged Qin Yi and Han Xin, "Brother Qin, you should leave here quickly!"

Although Brother Bao had not harmed Qin Yi and Han Xin earlier, and even expressed his desire to befriend Qin Yi, Qin Yi had refused. Brother Bao would surely be displeased!

From Qi Hou's understanding of Brother Bao, the latter was not a good person.

On the contrary, he was the leader of the local thugs, running casinos and loan sharking... engaging in illegal activities. Therefore, as a precaution, he wanted the two of them to leave as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, we'll be fine!"

Qin Yi replied with a gentle smile.

Then, Qin Yi proactively added Qi Hou as a friend and transferred some money to him.

Qi Hou stared at the money Qin Yi transferred to him, his eyes widening in surprise. "Brother Qin, what are you doing?"

Qin Yi: "Take it. We just ate, consider this our payment for the meal!"

"Didn't I say, you helped me today, so the meal is on me..." Qi Hou stared at his phone screen, exclaiming, "And, this, this is too much money!"

The amount Qin Yi transferred to him was enough to pay off all his current debts and still have some left over.

"Take it, pay off your debts, and then find a good job. What's in the past is in the past, don't dwell on it!"

Qin Yi said with deep meaning.

It was clear that Qin Yi was referring to his ex-girlfriend.

"This money is nothing to us, but it's very useful to you, so don't be polite!" Han Xin echoed. "Take it now, and if you earn money in the future, you can repay us!"

With that, the two of them, hand in hand, walked away without waiting for Qi Hou to say anything else.

Qi Hou stood rooted to the spot, his eyes red.

He looked at their retreating figures, clenched his fists, and murmured with determination, "Brother Qin, Sister Han, thank you!"

"When I earn money in the future, I will definitely repay you, definitely!"

After walking a considerable distance, Han Xin asked Qin Yi with a strange expression, "Qin Yi, are you helping Qi Hou like this because you see your past self in him, feeling like you're in the same boat?"

Qin Yi did not deny it, nodding in acknowledgment.

Knowing Qi Hou's plight, Qin Yi truly thought of his past self.

He had given his all for others, only to receive no reward, and worse, to be abandoned and betrayed!

Han Xin felt Qin Yi's emotions. She held his hand and squeezed it tightly. "It's okay, all that's in the past! If Liu Xiu'er hadn't been blind, I wouldn't have met you!"

"Similarly, if she hadn't broken up with you, you wouldn't be with me, so we should actually thank her!"

She noticed Qin Yi's mood wasn't entirely lifted, so after a moment's thought, she deliberately said, "Alright, alright, don't be unhappy. At worst, I'll give it to you tonight!"

A bright spark flashed in Qin Yi's eyes as he looked at Han Xin. "You said it yourself..."

Then, he quickly looked around and spotted a small supermarket. He immediately said, "Xin Xin, wait here. I'll go buy condoms!"

Han Xin: "..."

Without any further delay, Qin Yi quickly ran into the supermarket.

...

Meanwhile.

Brother Bao left the restaurant with his subordinates. After walking a short distance, one of Brother Bao's trusted men couldn't help but ask, "Brother Bao, what did you mean by that just now?"

"Those two obstructed Da Peng and Er Niao from collecting debts, and even dared to hit Er Niao. Weren't we going there for revenge? Why did you want to be friends with him?"

Undoubtedly, Da Peng and Er Niao were the nicknames of the two burly men who had previously demanded payment from Qi Hou.

With the trusted man taking the lead, Er Niao immediately chimed in, "Yeah, Brother Bao, what did you mean just now? We brothers really don't understand!"

Brother Bao stopped walking, and everyone else followed suit, looking at him with confused expressions, awaiting his answer.

Sensing everyone's gaze, Brother Bao didn't answer immediately but asked in return, "Do you know who that woman was earlier?"

The men looked at each other, and finally, all of them shook their heads.

Indicating they didn't know.

"That woman, if I'm not mistaken, is the daughter of Hai Cheng's richest man, Han San Wan!" Brother Bao said, enunciating each word.

Earlier, Han Xin and Han San Wan had visited Tai Dao for a business event.

Brother Bao happened to be at the same event, so he had seen Han Xin from afar.

Due to Han Xin's outstanding appearance, even after a long time, he still remembered her vividly.

Therefore, the moment he saw Han Xin earlier, he recognized her identity.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened with shock and disbelief.

Da Peng and Er Niao finally understood why Han Xin had been so generous and willing to repay Qi Hou's debt. It turned out her father was Hai Cheng's richest man!

A moment later, the trusted man said, "Even if her dad is Hai Cheng's richest man, this is Tai Dao, not Hai Cheng. We don't need to be afraid of them!"

"No matter how rich her dad is, his influence won't reach here!"

The trusted man, having heard Brother Bao's words, assumed he was wary of Han San Wan and dared not touch Han Xin!

Thus, he had changed his mind about revenge on the spot!

"Nonsense, do you think I'm afraid of her?"

Brother Bao reprimanded sternly, explaining, "The reason I didn't act against them earlier was that I planned to cast a long line to catch a big fish!"

"I intended to lure them to our territory, hold them hostage, and then call her dad to demand money!"

Hearing his words, Da Peng, Er Niao, and the other subordinates suddenly understood.

A look of realization dawned on their faces!

In fact, besides running casinos and loan sharking businesses, Brother Bao occasionally resorted to kidnapping and extorting wealthy individuals for money!

Therefore, when he recognized Han Xin's identity earlier, his first thought was to kidnap her and then extort money from Han San Wan.

However, at the entrance of the restaurant earlier, in broad daylight, it was inconvenient to openly abduct Han Xin. So, he used the excuse of wanting to befriend Qin Yi!

His idea was that if Qin Yi agreed, he would immediately invite them to play at his establishment. Since Qin Yi and Han Xin were together, Han Xin would definitely follow if Qin Yi went.

Once they were at his establishment, they would be at his mercy. It would be an easy matter to use Han Xin to extort money from Han San Wan!

What he hadn't expected was that Qin Yi would be so unappreciative and directly refuse him!

Da Peng asked, "Brother Bao, what do we do now? Do we just go back like this?"

"Of course not..."

Brother Bao said to his trusted man, "A Cao, you immediately take a few brothers and go back to secretly follow those two. See where they are staying tonight!"

"Once their whereabouts are confirmed, and when it's later at night, we'll go and quietly capture them to avoid being seen by others!"

"Although this is our territory, it's better to be careful when doing things like this!"
