A group of people quickly drove away, heading straight for the exit route out of the city.
Not long after, they had already driven out of Jinling City.
Upon arriving here, Qin Chuan stopped the car and got out.
Following closely behind was a jeep driven by Qin Gang, with his elder brother Qin Yang and Hong Jinlong inside.
"Jinlong, come here. I have something to tell you."
Qin Chuan waved.
Hong Jinlong hurried over, his face full of respect and awe: "Boss Qin!"
Qin Chuan offered him a cigarette and pondered for a moment before saying, "Thank you for your help this time."
"Because of our matters, you can't stay in Jinling City anymore, and you've lost your job."
"I've thought about it, and there's nothing I can do to repay you well, so I'll just give you money! We're all ordinary people, so let's do it in the most ordinary way."
As he spoke, Qin Chuan took a plastic package from Chen Jinyu behind him. The package was heavy and square. When it was opened, it revealed stacks of money, a considerable amount.
"This is one hundred thousand yuan. Take it!"
He had previously given Ma Xiaolian a total of one hundred thousand yuan as a reward, and Hong Jinlong received the same amount.
This time, Hong Jinlong had also put in a lot of effort. Not only did he help find Qin Gang's residence at the beginning, but he also followed them around tirelessly afterward.
On the night Hai Kuisheng was held hostage, if it hadn't been for Hong Jinlong's help, Qin Chuan and his group, unfamiliar with the area, wouldn't have been able to find a reliable and safe place.
Therefore, it was only right to thank Hong Jinlong. This young man from the neighboring village was very good and loyal.
Perhaps he was initially drawn by Qin Chuan's fame, but his willingness to face the troublesome Hai Kuisheng without flinching was rare.
"Boss Qin, what are you doing? I can't accept this money!"
Hong Jinlong was startled when he saw the stacks of cash in the plastic bag and hastily waved his hands.
"I'm Qin Gang's good friend. It's only natural for me to help when Gangzi got into trouble. Why would I accept your money?"
"So what if my job is gone? I'm just a pastry chef at a hotel. I can get a job anywhere immediately."
Qin Chuan slowly shook his head: "It's not the same. I called you to Jinling City, and you voluntarily offered to help. If I hadn't called you, you wouldn't have been involved in this incident, wouldn't have known about it, and your peaceful life wouldn't have been disturbed."
"I, Qin Chuan, have always been clear about favors and grievances. You must accept this money, otherwise, you don't recognize my way of doing things."
Qin Chuan handed over the one hundred thousand yuan. Hong Jinlong's hands and feet didn't know where to go; he didn't know whether to accept it or not.
"Jinlong, take it. My third brother has always been like this."
At this moment, Qin Gang spoke.
"You really helped a lot this time."
Hong Jinlong took a deep breath and suddenly said earnestly to Qin Chuan, "Boss Qin, can I exchange this one hundred thousand yuan for another condition?"
"Another condition?"
Qin Chuan looked at him with interest: "Alright, tell me!"
The others also looked at Hong Jinlong, curious about what he would say.
Under their gazes, Hong Jinlong seemed to be cheering himself on and said loudly, "I want to work for you, Boss Qin!"
"I hope you'll give me an opportunity!"
After speaking, he bowed deeply, his waist bent very low.
Silence fell over the surroundings, broken only by the occasional passing cars on the road.
Qin Chuan stared at the bowing figure before him, his dark eyes flickering slightly. To be honest, he did appreciate this young man named Hong Jinlong.
The fact that he could give up the temptation of one hundred thousand yuan just for an opportunity to work with him was something many people couldn't do.
One hundred thousand yuan was not a small sum at the time. Even someone like Ma Xiaolian would easily betray Hai Kuisheng for one hundred thousand yuan, although part of it was due to coercion.
But undeniably, one hundred thousand yuan was a significant amount of income for ordinary people, an irresistible temptation.
Hong Jinlong's ability to resist the temptation of one hundred thousand yuan and only seek a job opportunity was truly rare.
On the quiet road, everyone was silent, waiting for Qin Chuan's decision.
"Jinlong, it's very good that you can give up the temptation of one hundred thousand yuan."
Qin Chuan said slowly.
"However, regrettably, I don't have a suitable position for you at the moment. As for those ordinary, minor roles, I feel it would be wrong to put you there."
Hong Jinlong quickly looked up, his eyes filled with excitement: "It's okay, I can start from the lowest position."
Qin Chuan waved his hand: "No, no, no, that would be unfair to you."
"How about this, I don't need anyone right now, but my second brother here might urgently need the help of a good friend like you."
"When we get back this time, if my brother still wants to continue in his car industry, then you can join him!"
"You are good friends and have gone through hardship together. I believe you will be a great team."
After Qin Chuan finished speaking, Hong Jinlong suddenly turned his head to look at Qin Gang, who was standing not far away. Qin Gang grinned and said, "Jinlong, welcome aboard."
Hong Jinlong nodded heavily, turned, and thanked Qin Chuan repeatedly.
Qin Chuan smiled and waved his hand: "Let's go, we're heading home!"
"Xiaochuan, wait a moment!"
Qin Gang called out, then quickly ran up to Qin Chuan and whispered, "I have something to ask you."
Qin Chuan nodded, and the two brothers walked aside.
"You... what did you do with her?"
Qin Gang asked. Who "she" was, everyone knew.
Qin Chuan's lips curled into a slight smile, and he asked, "Second brother, how do you want me to deal with that woman?"
Qin Gang shook his head with a complex expression: "I don't know, I really don't know!"
He had thought about this question for several hours, but couldn't come up with a good solution.
"Then what's the point of you asking this? Are you planning to keep in touch with that woman?"
Qin Chuan asked.
"No!"
Qin Gang denied.
Qin Chuan sneered: "You'd better keep your word, or don't blame me for turning hostile! A slut, a prostitute, whatever her end, it's her own doing. She deserves it!"
Qin Gang lowered his head, berated.
"Let's go, back home!"
Qin Chuan didn't tell Qin Gang how he dealt with Cao Yuqing. His goal was to make his second brother completely forget about this woman.
Meanwhile, in a deserted warehouse, a group of people who had been knocked unconscious gradually began to wake up.
Hai Kuisheng clutched his aching neck and leaned against the wall.
"Master Hai, our cars are still here, and nothing inside has been lost."
A bodyguard ran back and reported.
Hai Kuisheng cursed resentfully, "You bastard named Qin, I'll curse your ancestors!"
"Don't you ever come to Jinling City again, or I will return everything you did to me today, doubled!"
"Shut up, are you not embarrassed enough already!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, he was scolded fiercely. Zhang Yuying, who was beside him, looked at him with disdain.
"Let's hurry back. I want to take a good bath to wash away the filth!"
Hai Kuisheng didn't dare to talk back and awkwardly got up from the ground.
As he was about to walk out of the warehouse door, he suddenly turned back and shouted at a woman inside, "You damn slut, why are you still standing there? Do you want to betray me too?"
Cao Yuqing was startled and quickly followed.
On the way back, Cao Yuqing and Hai Kuisheng's couple rode in the same car.
"Yuqing, you were also a participant in this incident and are very familiar with the entire process. You know that we gave that surnamed Qin a full five million, right?"
Hai Kuisheng said to Cao Yuqing in the front passenger seat.
Cao Yuqing remained silent.
"You damn slut, I'm asking you a question!"
Cao Yuqing trembled with fear: "Yes... yes, we gave five million!"
"It's good that you remember. Since we are in a cooperative relationship, shouldn't you share this money? This five million was all paid by me!"
Hai Kuisheng's face was grim as he calculated carefully with Cao Yuqing.
"All the money I've earned over the years was spent at once, and I even lost some. I've calculated that you need to share at least two million of this with me."
"From now on, you have to work hard to increase your performance. If you can't earn this money, I'll have someone sell you to Southeast Asia, do you hear me!!"
Cao Yuqing's body trembled, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
At this moment, a deep sense of regret welled up in the depths of her heart...
