After Li Ya signed her name on the share transfer agreement, everything came to an end.
"Boss Qin, we'll be taking our leave then!" Liu Sanhu said.
"Brother Hu, why not stay a few more days? We're friends now..."
Liu Sanhu shook his head like a rattle drum. "No! No! Thank you for your kindness, Boss Qin. I still have a lot of matters to attend to back in Pingyang City..."
"Alright then, Second Brother, Brother Dao, please escort Brother Hu out!" Qin Chuan expressed his regret, as if he truly couldn't bear for Liu Sanhu to leave.
"Brother Hu, please!" Zheng Chengdao and Qin Erge stepped forward, escorting Liu Sanhu away.
"Boss Qin, I almost forgot something important..." Liu Sanhu stopped abruptly at the doorway.
"Oh? What did Brother Hu forget?" Qin Chuan asked with a hint of curiosity.
"It's... it's about our two cars. Boss Qin, can you have your people return the engines of that Audi and the Santana to me? I'll have a tow truck come and take both cars away. I can get them repaired and drive them again..."
"What engines? I don't know anything about that!" Qin Chuan looked bewildered.
Liu Sanhu immediately grew anxious. "Boss Qin, you can't do this! Didn't you just say we're friends now? How can friends...?"
"Brother Hu, are you suspecting that my men took the missing engines?" Qin Chuan's smile suddenly vanished, replaced by a somber expression.
"Isn't that the case?" Liu Sanhu was startled by Qin Chuan's sudden change in demeanor.
Qin Chuan's face turned grim. "Brother Hu, I, Qin Chuan, have always taken responsibility for my actions. I won't deny that I had your three cars smashed. But I never gave any orders to steal engines."
"Second Brother, Brother Dao, did you give any such orders?" Zheng Chengdao quickly shook his head, indicating he hadn't.
"Did any cars lose their engines? The Santana parked outside our garment factory looks fine, apart from the broken window glass!" Qin Erge exclaimed in surprise.
"Not that one. It's the Audi and the Santana we parked on the road that had their tires slashed. The engines and all four tires of those two cars were removed. Only the empty frames are left now," Liu Sanhu said mournfully. He didn't care if the other two cars were damaged or even lost entirely, but that new Audi, which he had bought less than three months ago, was gone. Losing it hurt him deeply. The car had cost nearly six hundred thousand yuan, no small sum.
"Brother Hu, I can guarantee you that I absolutely did not have anyone do such a thing."
"If you're not satisfied, you can call the police!" Qin Chuan suggested. He then added, "Although our Yongnan County isn't large, the powers here are complex and mixed. It's not just me who holds sway. Perhaps someone else saw your Audi and took the opportunity to steal it?"
Liu Sanhu: "..." Why couldn't he believe this? Call the police, don't be ridiculous! He was involved in the underworld; he knew how things worked. If the police could be trusted, pigs would be able to climb trees. Especially for an outsider like him, they would all gang up and exploit him.
Moreover, there was the very badly beaten Huang Lianqin with them. If the police were called, and this woman took the opportunity to report them, it would be a complete disaster! Huang Lianqin knew many secrets during her time with him, and he absolutely couldn't allow her to have any contact with the police.
Considering all the consequences, Liu Sanhu's expression turned grim. Calling the police was not an option. If he didn't, should he just stand by and watch his beloved car be stolen? He was extremely unwilling!
"Liu Sanhu, you've earned a million yuan this time. That money is enough for you to buy a car even more awesome than that Audi!" Qin Erge suddenly said. "Why bother arguing over a broken car?"
Liu Sanhu's face turned pale. A broken car? That was a brand new Audi worth six hundred thousand yuan! But he knew clearly that he probably wouldn't be able to get his beloved car back this time! If he could take all three cars, even if they were broken, the repair costs would be at most a hundred thousand yuan. After deducting these expenses, he would still earn over nine hundred thousand yuan. There were no such good deals in the world, and these people in front of him weren't philanthropists. Perhaps they had been coveting his Audi all along!
Anger burned within Liu Sanhu. He clenched his fists and snorted coldly, "Then, Boss Qin, we'll be taking our leave!" He vowed inwardly, since he couldn't drive them away, no one else would have them either. He would set the remaining car frames on fire, and let it be a mutual destruction!
"Second Brother, Brother Dao, hire a vehicle to send Brother Hu away."
"Yes, Boss!" Zheng Chengdao and Qin Erge turned and left.
A few minutes later, three cars set off together, one of them being the battered Santana with its four windows smashed.
About ten minutes after the three cars had driven off, Liu Sanhu suddenly shouted from inside his car, "Stop!"
"What's wrong, Brother Hu?" Qin Erge, who was driving, asked.
Liu Sanhu didn't say a word. He quickly opened the car door and rushed out, standing by the roadside, looking around.
"Can someone tell me, where are my cars? Where are they?! Why aren't even the frames left!" Liu Sanhu roared, his voice echoing loudly. Yesterday night, although the engines and tires of the two cars had been removed, at least the car frames were still there. But now, it was completely empty. Not a single frame, not a screw, was left, as if they had evaporated into thin air!
"They were parked right here yesterday!"
"No mistake, there are still glass fragments on the roadside..."
"This is too arrogant and outrageous! Stealing the engines and tires wasn't enough, and now they've stolen the entire cars! Is there any law in Yongnan County!" Liu Sanhu's group of subordinates also got out of the cars, stunned, staring at the empty road before them.
"Call the police, we must call the police!"
"Are all the people in Yongnan County bandits?" In their rage, the group stood by the roadside and cursed loudly, cursing the female relatives of everyone involved in the car theft and wishing them sons who lacked foresight.
"Liu Sanhu, if it really comes to it, let's call the police. Those thieves are too immoral! It's getting worse and worse!" Qin Erge got out of the car and walked up to Liu Sanhu, feigning righteous indignation.
"I think calling the police is the most correct choice. Only the police can catch those lawless individuals!" Zheng Chengdao chimed in, offering his sincere suggestion.
Liu Sanhu's face turned livid. He clenched his fists tightly. He was eighty percent sure that these two hypocritical fellows might be the masterminds behind the car theft, but he had no evidence.
After a long time, Liu Sanhu gradually regained his composure. He finally understood that certain people had been coveting his Audi. No, to be precise, certain people didn't want him to leave with such a huge profit. They were well aware of Huang Lianqin being his weakness and correctly predicted that they wouldn't dare to call the police, which was why they were so unscrupulous and had him completely cornered.
"There are no good people in this Yongnan County!"
"They are all black-hearted bastards, dogs!" Liu Sanhu cursed inwardly. What could he do? What could he do? He could only swallow his pride and endure it. Ever since he entered Yongnan County, he had been on the defensive. Liu Sanhu vowed never to come to Yongnan County again! This was simply not a place for decent people!
