The meal concluded past four in the afternoon.
Qin Chuan, Ye Qingping, Wang Ping’an, Zhou Zongrong, and Xiao Guodong had spent a solid three to four hours together, discussing many things.
After the dinner, Qin Chuan drove to the construction site and immediately gathered his trusted subordinates.
Zheng Chengdao, elder brother Qin Yang, Bai Xiaoguang, Yao Dong, and Chen Jinyu.
These individuals were his right-hand men. With such significant events unfolding, Qin Chuan felt it was time to inform everyone.
As expected, upon hearing the entire story, everyone was shocked. No one had anticipated that such a vast power was involved behind the Han Shifei brothers.
“Xiao Chuan, since that man surnamed Han threatened revenge, he will definitely come!”
“You need to be careful about your safety from now on!”
Elder brother Qin Yang anxiously said, “In my opinion, from now on, no matter where you go, you should bring more people. Your personal safety is the most important thing.”
Everyone agreed. Bai Xiaoguang and Yao Dong immediately volunteered, vowing to protect their boss.
Qin Chuan pondered for a moment and finally nodded, agreeing.
This concerned his personal safety, and he couldn’t afford to be careless. This was no time for sentimentality, as no one knew when the revenge from the Longcheng Han family would arrive.
The fact that the Han Shifei brothers could mobilize such immense energy from the Longcheng Han family to protect them indicated that the brothers’ identities were very special. Revenge was certain.
“Boss, there isn’t much going on in the county town recently. The building will soon be topped out and completed. The sand quarry can be managed by Qin Yang, and as for the decoration company, with Jinyu here, I don’t need to worry about it either. Why don’t I follow you?”
At this moment, Zheng Chengdao spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s eyes lit up.
“Xiao Chuan, I think that’s a good idea. Everyone knows Dao Ge’s capabilities. With him following you, we can truly feel at ease!”
Qin Yang immediately said, “As for the industries in the county town, there are actually no major issues. I and the other brothers are sufficient!”
“I agree too! Boss, your safety is the most important. If they want revenge, it will definitely be aimed at you, not us insignificant individuals.”
Chen Jinyu said.
“Alright, Dao Ge will follow me from now on!”
Qin Chuan nodded.
“Yay! The three of us brothers will be the boss’s personal bodyguards from now on. I’d like to see what blind idiot dares to come. I’ll kill one if I see one, and a pair if I see two!”
Bai Xiaoguang excitedly licked his lips, his face filled with ferocity.
That evening, Qin Chuan sat in his car, taking Zheng Chengdao, Bai Xiaoguang, and Yao Dong to the Butterfly Garment Factory.
Li Ya, seeing Qin Chuan arrive with so many people, looked confused and asked if something had happened, why he brought so many people.
Qin Chuan smiled and shook his head, saying nothing was wrong, and that these people hadn’t been to the Butterfly Garment Factory in a long time and just wanted to visit.
Li Ya didn’t suspect anything and asked Qin Chuan to wait a few minutes while she finished up work.
A few minutes later, two cars drove out of the Butterfly Garment Factory. Qin Chuan sat in Li Ya’s Audi, followed by the Tiger Head Benz carrying Zheng Chengdao, Bai Xiaoguang, and Yao Dong.
The group found a restaurant. Zheng Chengdao and the other two seemed to adapt well to their bodyguard roles. They politely declined Qin Chuan and Li Ya’s invitation and found a table not too far away, ordering a few dishes and bowls of rice, with a clear view of Qin Chuan and Li Ya’s table.
“Sis, I’ll probably be leaving tomorrow!”
Here, after the meal was nearly finished, Qin Chuan finally spoke to Li Ya.
Li Ya, who was drinking soup, froze. She slowly looked up, a hint of surprise and sadness appearing on her delicate, pretty face.
“You have to leave again so soon?”
“You’ve only been back for three days!”
Qin Chuan gently took Li Ya’s small hand, guiltily saying, “I can’t help it. There’s so much to do in Longcheng and Beijing. I squeezed out these three days.”
The main reason, in fact, was that Qin Chuan felt that by staying in the county town, he might bring danger to his family and friends.
At noon, Ye Qingping had said he could provide protection as long as he was in Yongnan County. Such words were just for listening. Perhaps Ye Qingping had some influence, but it was only in official matters.
If the Longcheng Han family really intended to retaliate, how could they do so in a straightforward manner? Ye Qingping couldn’t offer any protection.
Therefore, Qin Chuan felt it was better to leave his hometown as soon as possible. He believed that the target of the Han family’s revenge was him, and by leaving, he would attract their attention.
“Sis, you know that any project is busiest in its initial development phase.”
“My MP3 project is in that stage right now.”
“Once this busy period passes, things will get better. I’ll make up for all the time I owe you then.”
Qin Chuan comforted her.
“Then you said it… I’ve noted it down!”
A sweet smile appeared on Li Ya’s face. Although she was very reluctant for Qin Chuan to leave, she also understood the importance of priorities.
Perhaps knowing that Qin Chuan was about to leave, Li Ya ate her dinner very slowly. Qin Chuan didn’t rush her, but patiently stayed by her side, whispering sweet nothings in a very gentle manner.
After dinner, the two walked out of the restaurant. It was already past ten at night. Neither of them drove. They simply strolled along the road, hand in hand, cherishing the time before their separation.
As for Zheng Chengdao and the other two, Qin Chuan didn’t ask them to follow. This was their last night before parting, and he didn’t want to be disturbed by anyone.
Moreover, this was still in Yongnan County, his hometown. Qin Chuan didn’t think the Han family’s revenge would happen tonight.
Unknowingly, it was already past eleven, approaching midnight. There were almost no pedestrians on the road, only the chirping of cicadas and the croaking of frogs by the riverbank.
“Xiao Chuan, where have we reached?!”
Li Ya suddenly stopped and asked.
Qin Chuan turned his head and found that it was dark all around, not even moonlight, only the beam from the flashlight in his hand.
He shone it around the vicinity. Dense trees surrounded them, with no landmarks.
“I don’t know either. After we finished eating, we just kept walking down this road, and we took three or four different paths!”
Qin Chuan said.
As soon as he finished speaking, their eyes met, and they both saw a hint of surprise in each other’s eyes.
They seemed to be lost in their own county!
Late at night, the two of them were so engrossed in aimless walking and chatting, cherishing the impending separation, that neither of them paid attention to anything else.
When they realized it, this dramatic scene unfolded.
“Heh heh!”
“Hahaha…”
As they looked at each other, Qin Chuan and Li Ya couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
If this incident were to spread, it would truly become a joke for everyone. Two adults, on the roads of their own county, getting lost.
“It’s getting late, let’s go back quickly!”
Qin Chuan said with a smile.
“Okay!”
Li Ya nodded gently, leaning her delicate body tightly against Qin Chuan, her face filled with sweetness.
However, before the two could walk far back, two glaring car headlights suddenly appeared on the road ahead, shining directly into their faces, making it difficult to open their eyes and instantly shattering the sweet atmosphere.
Qin Chuan and Li Ya instinctively raised their arms to shield their eyes.
“Who is it?”
Li Ya murmured softly.
Qin Chuan also looked puzzled and called out to the car in front, “Dao Ge, is that you?”
