The night passed quickly, and after breakfast the next day, Qin Chuan proposed to take his leave.
Teacher Yang, who had driven over early, looked reluctant, urging Qin Chuan to take good care of himself, emphasizing that while business was important, his health was paramount.
Fang Rumei also chimed in, telling Qin Chuan to recover quickly, as she was waiting to embark on a grand venture with him.
Qin Chuan smiled, assuring them he would return as soon as he was healed.
Teacher Yang bent down and tightly hugged Qin Chuan, who was in a wheelchair, around his neck, unwilling to let go for a long time.
Finally, Fang Rumei teased them, saying it was just a simple farewell and not a permanent separation. She jokingly asked if they were deliberately provoking her, a single person, with their affectionate display.
Only then did Qin Chuan and Teacher Yang finally separate. A few minutes later, Qin Chuan waved goodbye to Teacher Yang and Fang Rumei and began his journey home.
The Tiger Head Ben drove smoothly on the asphalt road, and the car was silent.
“There’s a small road ahead, turn into it!”
Suddenly, Qin Chuan, who had been observing the traffic outside, instructed.
Yao Dong, who was driving, immediately turned the car onto the small road.
“Stop!”
Qin Chuan called out, and the Tiger Head Ben halted.
Inside the car, Qin Chuan said to Zheng Chengdao, who was sitting beside him, “Brother Dao, it’s just as I instructed you yesterday. Don't rush into revenge. If you don't have a hundred percent certainty, it’s better to give up than to act rashly.”
“We have plenty of time. If one day isn’t enough, then two. If two days isn’t enough, then five!”
“You need to figure out Liu An’s entire movement patterns and some of his living habits before you decide whether to act!”
Zheng Chengdao nodded, “I know the importance of this, don't worry, boss. I’ll handle it perfectly!”
Qin Chuan patted Zheng Chengdao’s shoulder, “I have a hundred percent confidence in your ability!”
“Also, remember, this time it’s just to teach Liu An a lesson. Don’t take his life, otherwise, things will get too big!”
“We are respectable businessmen, understand?”
Zheng Chengdao nodded again.
“Boss, why aren’t you letting me go with you? If I go, I can look after Brother Dao and he can look after me too!”
Bai Xiaoguang, in the front passenger seat, looked extremely reluctant.
Qin Chuan had only allowed Zheng Chengdao to go on this mission, forbidding both him and Yao Dong.
“Are you underestimating Brother Dao’s capabilities, or are you questioning my arrangements?”
Qin Chuan glared.
Bai Xiaoguang immediately backed down. He dared not question either of them.
“Then boss, I’ll get off here!”
Zheng Chengdao put on the hat and mask he had prepared, concealing himself completely, and opened the car door to get out.
“Let’s go, we’re going home!”
Qin Chuan instructed, and the Tiger Head Ben quickly started, leaving Zheng Chengdao alone on the secluded small road.
After watching the Tiger Head Ben drive away, Zheng Chengdao briefly surveyed his surroundings and then quickly departed, all without a sound.
In the era of 1999, surveillance cameras were far from as common as in later times. Unless it was a particularly important traffic location, or a place like a bank, a large enterprise, a big company, or a government facility, surveillance cameras were rarely installed elsewhere.
It wasn’t that the country didn't want to install them, but the technology hadn’t reached that level yet. The shooting range was very limited, and the image quality was blurry, making them almost useless.
This led to a high crime rate in many places during this period.
The public security environment was far from as good as in later times.
The Tiger Head Ben drove for a distance before merging back onto the main road.
After driving about a dozen kilometers, they reached a large intersection with traffic lights. Several surveillance cameras were installed, and their positions were very low, almost able to capture the interior of the car in the front seats.
Qin Chuan suddenly said, “Xiaoguang, do you know why I didn’t let you go with Brother Dao?”
Bai Xiaoguang, who had been sulking in the front, looked back at his boss, his face full of confusion, indicating he didn’t know.
“Do you see the surveillance camera at the intersection ahead?”
Qin Chuan pointed to the surveillance camera on the traffic light ahead and explained, “That thing is mounted very low, almost directly facing every car, and can clearly capture the front seats of the car.”
“If you had gotten out and left with Brother Dao, wouldn’t the passenger seat have been empty?”
“If the Han family investigates and finds this out, how would we explain it?”
Bai Xiaoguang was immediately speechless, his mouth hanging open for a long time.
Indeed, they were on their way home. Who had ever heard of someone getting out of a car they were traveling home in to disappear?
This was too suspicious, like handing over problems to others on a silver platter!
After thinking this through, Bai Xiaoguang broke out in a cold sweat all over his back, completely impressed by his boss’s meticulous thinking.
Yao Dong, who was driving, also marveled, completely conquered by his boss’s detailed planning.
“Boss, it’s a good thing you are a legitimate businessman and your only hobby in this life is making money. If you had gone down the wrong path and committed crimes, you would be a nightmare for many people!”
Yao Dong exclaimed.
Qin Chuan smiled upon hearing this, “Since we are going to do something, we must arrange every step in an orderly fashion and consider everything that needs to be considered!”
“Otherwise, we are digging our own graves. When this pit is deep enough, even a slight disturbance will lead to our own burial!”
Qin Chuan took the opportunity to impart some lessons, which were the summation of his many years of business experience.
Bai Xiaoguang and Yao Dong nodded repeatedly. Since following this young boss, their knowledge levels had unknowingly improved.
Their previous impetuous and hot-tempered nature of solving problems with their fists had been greatly alleviated.
Several hours later, the Tiger Head Ben returned to Yongnan County.
When Qin Chuan announced that he had found a suitable partner and perfectly resolved the issue of the locker frame, the previously agitated workers at the electronics factory were greatly encouraged and finally stabilized.
During this period, Xinhua Electronics Factory had been plagued by problems, causing widespread panic throughout the factory. They desperately needed such a calming agent, which had now appeared.
With Qin Chuan overseeing the situation, the factory, which had been in turmoil for days, gradually returned to its former peace, everything returned to normal, and the workers commuted as usual.
Thus, a week passed in the blink of an eye.
News came from Ye Meiyun in Yangcheng. They had been in contact with various electronic component manufacturers during this period and were investigating their reputations. They had temporarily shortlisted the required component manufacturers.
Next, it was time to negotiate cooperation. If all went smoothly, it would take about three to four more days.
Qin Chuan offered his encouragement and reminded Ye Meiyun to prioritize her safety when she was out.
Not long after ending the call with Ye Meiyun, Qin Chuan suddenly received a call from Zheng Chengdao.
“Boss, I plan to start the action tonight!”
“Tell me, which part of that old man Liu An do you want me to disable?”
As soon as the call was connected, Zheng Chengdao’s chilling voice quickly came through.
