CH 172

Baoping Town was a town along the side of Jiang City.

The town used many traditional architectures, keeping the atmosphere of the old times.

It was also a town famous for its jade and gems.

The favorite place for all sorts of avails, liars, and profiteers.

Those who are lucky; they can strike it rich overnight. Those who are unlucky; they can lose everything overnight as well.

Of course, to the ultimate rich people like the Qin Family, the Su Family, and the Chen Family, it was to lose everything overnight.

It was more of just an entertainment activity.

“Yeah, Grandpa Su loves these types of stuff.”

Chen Mengmeng smiled and replied.

Qin Tian was also aware that Su Guofu loved antiques, calligraphy, and things of that sort.

After all, once people have money, they would start pursuing things for the spiritual mind.

Collecting calligraphy, paintings, gems, etc. was beyond normal.

Some even start collecting poisonous pets or rare wine.

The only limit to what rich people can play with is their imagination.

“Oh, I see… Tell her, I’ll definitely go if I have time…”

Qin Tian nodded in thought.

The Qin and the Su family were both extremely large family businesses. 

It wasn’t unusual for Su Yanran to appear here, in a city where her family probably owes plenty of properties.

Currently, Su Yanran was still one of the female leads, and Chen Mengmeng’s female lead status didn’t go away yet either.

Two female leads, plus himself, a villain, going to a stone gambling market – the best place for a protagonist to show off.

This was definitely the setting for some face-slapping.

Such a perfect opportunity, even if it was a dragon’s den, he would still go give it a shot.

“Sister Yanran, Uncle Qin said he will definitely come!”

Chen Mengmeng happily answered over the phone, ignoring the words “if I have time.”

“Really? Awesome!”

Su Yanran was also overjoyed.

During this period, she was busy handling matters in the Su Family.

To familiarize herself with the people and the works here, she followed Su Guofu and Su Zhengyang to Jiang City a few days ago.

She didn’t expect that Qin Tian would be here as well.

After some more chit chat with Chen Mengmeng, Su Yanran had a smile on her face when she hung up the call.

Noticing that his daughter wasn’t following, Su Zhengyang, who was talking to the manager for the Jiang City part of the company, subconsciously turned his head.

“Yanrang, what are you doing? Come here.”

“Oh… coming!”

“What’s the matter? Look at that bright smile you got.”

Seeing a rare smile on his daughter’s face, Su Zhengyang also smiled.

“It’s nothing, I’m just happy after hearing that Uncle Qin is coming.”

“Oh? Buddy Qin is coming? That’s pretty good news after all. Here you keep chatting with Mr. Cui, I’ll go give Buddy Qin a call.”

Su Zhengyang was also really enthusiastic after hearing this news.

After all, Qin Tian could be considered as one of his saviors.

In addition, during Qin Wu’s wedding, Qin Tian led Li Jun and others and fought the mercs fearlessly.

Thus, Buddy Qin left a really good impression on his heart.

Despite this, Su Yanran suddenly felt displeased.

Hearing his dad call Qin Tian “Buddy Qin,” she found it… a little weird…

…

On the other side, Qin Tian was almost about to laugh out loud.

Is this Su Zhengyang being a little too enthusiastic? Greeting him with the casual term “buddy.”

“Uncle Qin, you said you were here to look for someone, who is it?”

After Qin Tian hung up, Chen Mengmeng immediately asked.

“Don’t ask so much, just follow.”

“True.”

Chen Mengmeng suddenly thought of a brilliant idea, “Oh Uncle Qin, would you like to come to sit on my motorcycle?”

Qin Tian looked at it.

“You don’t even have two seats, how am I supposed to sit? A sharp turn might throw my old bones off to the ground haha.”

“What old bones? Plus, I have full confidence in my skills. As long as you hug around my waist, I guarantee you won’t fall.”

Chen Mengmeng patted her well-matured chest and said confidently.

“Hug around your waist? Haha, forget it. I like my car, Lao Li, let’s get going.”

Qin Tian naturally knew what Chen Mengmeng’s intentions were, but he still refused without a second thought.

He wasn’t short of women. Towards a little girl who just hit adulthood, he really wasn’t interested.

Regarding Duan Xiaoyu, although it was summer break, Duan Xiaoyu’s address wasn’t in Ye Xuan’s background information.

But Qin Tian had already asked his men to find out her whereabouts.

…

“May I ask who you are looking for?”

Looking at the Rolls Royce, Jiang Lian asked in shock.

She was a neighbor who raised Duan Xiaoyu. 

They lived here in a small town beside Jiang City.

It wasn’t unusual to see cars here, but never one so luxurious.

“I’m looking for Duan Xiaoyu, I’m his brother Duan Tian’s friend.”

“Oh? Duan Tian?”

Although Jiang Lian was a little surprised, she didn’t put much suspicion.

“Xiaoyu’s not home yet, should I give her a call?”

Seeing how wealthy he was, Jiang Lian didn’t dare to hesitate.

“Sure…”

Jiang Lian quickly called, but the other end didn’t pick up.

She could only ask Qin Tian to wait.

Qin Tian, who wasn’t in a hurry, simply told Lao Li to get the car parked, and they went to have a rest in Jiang Lian’s house.

About an hour later.

A young woman wearing a tight black sleeveless T-shirt, super-short leather shorts, and short boots, returned while chewing gum.

Jiang Lian quickly greeted.

“Xiaoyu, where were you? Why did you return so late? I called just now and you didn’t pick up either…”

“I was drinking with my besties, what’s the matter?”

Duan Xiaoyu had a delicate face and was rather short at 159cm (5’2’’)

But her rebellious outfit and attitude didn’t make her seem like a college student at all.

“Someone’s here for you.”

“For me?” Duan Xiaoyu grew curious.

Under Jiang Lian’s guidance, she soon saw Qin Tian and the others waiting in the living room.

“Hey, who are yall? What do you want from me?”

Duan Xiaoyu asked impatiently.

She didn’t know who any of these strangers were.

Qin Tian waved his hand.

Li Jun and Wang Yi asked Jiang Lian to step out for a moment.

“Who am I? That’s not important. What’s important is that I know who you are.”

“Your name is Duan Xiaoyu, 17. You have an older brother named Duan Tian, is that right?”

“Even if you’re right, so what?”

Qin Tian continued, “Do you know what your brother’s job is?”

Duan Xiaoyu was stunned, then shook her head in a loss.

“Uh… whatever, then I won’t tell you yet. You just have to know that your brother’s job is very dangerous. In the meantime, he has created numerous enemies. Right now, someone is targeting you. That is the reason I am here.”

“To protect me?” Duan Xiaoyu was starting to realize something.

“You can think of it that way. Was there someone named Ye Xuan who came to look for you a while ago?”

“There was!”

Hearing that Qin Tian knew who Ye Xuan was as well, Duan Xiaoyu became less alert.

“He broke the law and is serving jail time right now… so you’re in a very unsafe situation.”

“What?”

“You’re on summer break. Go clean your stuff, let’s go. You shouldn’t return here during the two months of summer break…”

“Wait… hello? We just met for the first time and you want me to go with you? How am I supposed to know if you’re a kidnapper or not?”

“Damn, you’re pretty cautious.” Qin Tian smiled, then said slowly, “Did you see the car parked in the front just now?”

“I did.”

“Do you recognize the brand?”

“Rolls Royce?”

“Indeed,” Qin Tian said lightly, “That car is worth over 8 million. Do you think you are worth 8 million?”

“I…” Wait, he’s so right, I can’t even argue with that.

“Alright. But, do I get anything good from going with you guys?”

“You want benefits?”

“I see that you’re pretty rich. Can you gift me one of those motorcycles?”

Duan Xiaoyu pointed to Chen Mengmeng’s motorcycle in the front.

Qin Tian nodded without thinking, “Sure.”

“Really?”

“A hundred percent.”

“Okay! Then I’m coming with you!”

Hey… don’t make it sound so bad!
