Strongest Counterattack Chapter 309 - Three Strong Opponents

Ever since his childhood, Qu Huanxi had been making trouble and mischief. However, he was still under control. As a matter of fact, he was not the kind of child who was utterly unruly. He was somewhat willful and that was all. Though the Old Monk was angry, after all, he still loved Qu Huanxi dearly and wouldn’t punish him. Ever since the Old Monk’s son’s death, he had loved his grandson more dearly, fearing that any mishaps would happen to him.

As for why Qu Huanxi’s father had died, it was still a mystery. Some said that it was Third Master Wu who had killed Qu Huanxi’s father. Others said that the members of the Chen family, who had been pretty powerful in the south region of Suzhou during that time, were the murderers. Some others even said that a group of drug dealers had killed Qu Huanxi’s father because Old Monk had refused to cooperate with them. So many years had pa.s.sed and Old Monk did not pry into it anymore.

However, what Qu Huanxi had done today made the Old Monk feel pretty indignant. Because Qu Huanxi had overdrafted his creditability and gotten so many people involved on behalf of him. In addition, what he had done had swept the whole city by storm. If he continued making mischief in such a way, how could he be his successor in later days? n.o.body would be willing to serve him at that time.

Since the Old Monk had forbidden him to go outside, Qu Huanxi had been confined in the room upstairs. In the past a few days, he had been at home obediently. Due to what had happened, the Old Monk had scolded the group of people including Yuan Ke. After all, they had helped Qu Huanxi make a big scene.

It was after 10 o’clock in the evening when a guest named Li Qingfeng arrived at the villa, dressed in Western clothes and leather shoes and looking like an elite. He was also a foster son of the Old Monk. Moreover, he was Yuan Ke’s most competent opponent. However, he did not get along with Qu Huanxi and despised how Qu Huanxi acted and behaved. Since Yuan Ke knew how to cater to Qu Huanxi, a rich playboy, he was greatly favored by Qu Huanxi.

“Qingfeng, you are here.” The Old Monk was about to go to bed. It did not occur to him that this foster son would come to visit him.

Li Qingfeng chuckled as he said, “Foster Father, you are still angry at Huanxi, right? Well, he is just a child who hasn’t grown up yet. He definitely will become mature in the future. Plus, he is smarter than most of the people.”

The Old Monk let out a sigh as he said, “You don’t need to speak in his favor. He went too far today and did not even know that he had been taken advantage of.” Due to what he had experienced in his youth, the Old Monk was called the Old Monk. As a matter of fact, he was not a real monk. He liked to wear traditional Chinese costumes and communicate with the older generation. He scarcely showed up now unless some pretty important matter occurred. He was almost the same as Third Master Wu.

Li Qingfeng said thoughtfully, “Foster Father, you may blame Huanxi wrongly this time since he did not do anything wrong. You should forgive him.”

The Old Monk frowned as he said, “Oh, what do you mean?” Among his several foster sons, Li Qingfeng impressed him the most, who rarely partic.i.p.ated in fighting with both open and secret means inside the circle and dared to open up his business. The business on his side was the most prosperous.

Li Qingfeng said solemnly, “Foster Father, do you remember what happened between us and Jiang Xianbang last year? Hong Xing was confined in Qiandao Lake by us. Someone freed him inexplicably in the end, making all of our plans fall short of success at the last stage. Though Jiang Xianbang was in trouble in the end, the ones on the other side were still disgruntled with us.”

The Old Monk asked solemnly, “Then, how is that issue connected to what happened today? Tell me the details.”

The servant brought some tea over and Li Qingfeng took a sip. After that, he explained slowly, “It is exactly this young man who ruined our plan, injured us, and saved Hong Xing during that time. The relations.h.i.+p between him and Jiang Xianbang was pretty unusual. My underlings recognized him today. I am pretty sure that he is the one.”

The Old Monk frowned and asked, “Are you sure?” It did not occur to him that this young man actually was so powerful and capable. He had cooperated with the Zhang family in the Hubei and Hunan provinces and ruined his plan last year. He even had offended the Yan family in Shanghai. He actually had dared to come to Hangzhou now, simply having an exaggerated opinion of his abilities.

Li Qingfeng nodded emphatically as he said, “I am sure. It can’t be wrong.”

The Old Monk was lost in thought for a few seconds. After that, he gave out his order as he said, “Since he is the chief culprit, he should not blame me for what I am going to do to him. After all, I need to report to the ones on the other side. You will take care of this issue. Contact the Yan family and count it as a favor that we give to them. Keep one point in mind, that is, you should do it in a completely secret manner.”

Li Qingfeng smiled playfully and said, “Foster Father, no worries. I will get started right away.”

Though Yuan Ke had been trying to show his sense of presence in front of Qu Huanxi, he had been conducting the non-essential tasks in a polite manner. Li Qingfeng knew that his Foster Father was not a dotard at all, who had been observing carefully and kept everything in mind. However, he definitely needed to deal with those on Qu Huanxi’s side sooner or later. The issue this time was an opportunity for him.

After Li Qingfeng was done speaking with his Foster Father about the important issues, he pondered for a while. After that, he went upstairs to the entrance of Qu Huanxi’s room. It was not until he knocked on the door gently and got a response that he pushed the door open and entered the room. The atmosphere inside the room was foul. Qu Huanxi was lying on the bed, playing with his mobile. On the wall, a Korean X-rated movie was displayed on the large screen. The movie was Qu Huanxi’s favorite, which was not as violent as the ones in Europe and the United States and not as straightforward as the ones in j.a.pan.

Li Qingfeng turned on the light and said in a low voice, “Are you still depressed?’

Originally, Qu Huanxi had thought the visitor was the servant of the villa. However, upon hearing the voice, he felt something was not right and stood up in a hurry. Then, he saw Li Qingfeng standing at the entrance. Consequently, he turned off the projector hectically and said in a hurry, “Uncle Li, why are you here?”

Li Qingfeng did not at all mind that young people actually liked to watch X-rated movies. When he was at leisure, he would also appreciate the literary films from j.a.pan. He smiled and said, “I am here to check on you. Though the Old Master scolded you, he did it for your own good. You don’t need to be angry at him.”

Qu Huanxi did not communicate with Li Qingfeng often since he thought of this guy as someone who liked to put on airs and was not as easy-going as Yuan Ke. Consequently, he smiled happily as he said, “It’s OK. I am used to it.”

Li Qingfeng had expected that Qu Huanxi would react like this. He asked randomly, “How did you get a beef with that young man?”

Qu Huanxi snorted as he said, “As a matter of fact, we don’t bear grudges against each other. The sight of him annoys me, and that’s all. After all, he opposes me every time. I need to deal with him.”

Li Qingfeng nodded and said, “All right. I will take care of this issue. Just wait for my update.”

Rolling off the bed all of a sudden, Qu Huanxi asked puzzledly, “You will take care of it? Uncle Li, what do you mean?” He wondered, when did Li Qingfeng actually start being so nice to him, wanting to help him out.

Li Qingfeng replied casually, “Though you didn’t have a beef with him, we did. You can go ask the Old Master, then you will figure it out. Consequently, the Old Master won’t blame you for what happened. You are free, more or less. Starting today, I will take care of this issue and update you. I a.s.sure you that you won’t be disappointed.”

Qu Huanxi said excitedly, “Hahahaha, Uncle Li, is it true? If you really launch an attack against the lad, he certainly will be as dead as a doornail.”

Li Qingfeng replied straightforwardly, “He deserves it.”

Qu Huanxi said happily, “OK. I will not meddle with this issue anymore. I will just wait for your update.”

Li Qingfeng conveyed what the Old Master had said to Qu Huanxi. “Plus, the Old Master asked me to tell you that you should not be on intimate terms with Yan Chaozong. They are not in the same boat as us.”

Qu Huanxi replied thoughtfully, “I get your point, I get your point.”

In the Yan family’s villa located in the Purple Garden, in Sheshan, Shanghai, Old Master Yan was wiping the two cabinets of cameras. If all the members of the Yan family intended to make Old Master Yan feel happy, they certainly needed to try their best to collect various cameras. As for all the cameras in the two cabinets, they were all carefully selected. There was another room downstairs that was packed with different kinds of cameras.

Old Master Yan would have gone to bed at this time normally. As he got on in years, he kept regular hours. He was almost the same as most of the elders, who were afraid of death when they got old. In this case, they would rather keep regular hours so that they could live for a few more days.

But Old Master Yan still had not yet rested at this time today because he had been waiting for his grandson to come back home.

Old Master Yan did not say anything at all. Instead, he just continued wiping his favorite cameras. Yan Chaozong stood at the entrance uneasily. The one standing by his side was his uncle, the current head of the Yan family. He could be counted as a favorite in Shanghai and was a guest of the leaders in the city and a frequent visitor of various elite clubs.

Second Uncle Yan was dressed in a woolen sweater on top and a white T-s.h.i.+rt underneath. Besides wearing a tie, he also wore gold-rimmed gla.s.ses. His hair was combed quite neatly. His black leather shoes looked raven and s.h.i.+ny. All in all, Second Uncle Yan was a standard elite male in Shanghai.

“You made such a petty issue known to all. Do you intend to disgrace yourself to such an extent?” Old Master Yan finally spoke. He scolded Yan Chaozong frankly as he said, “You made trouble again and again for the sake of a woman. Though she said she didn’t like you, you still chased after her in an utterly shameless manner. Are you going to disgrace the whole Yan family?”

Yan Chaozong did not say anything at all since seldom had his grandfather scolded him before. The look on his face was quite ghastly.

Old Master Yan asked quite straightforwardly, “How is the situation going on between you and him now?”

Yan Chaozong replied honestly, “I won’t give up on getting back at him unless I die. He and I can’t co-exist. As long as he is alive, he will be my threat forever.”

Old Master Yan continued asking, “You can’t put it down, right?”

Yan Chaozong replied without hesitation, “No, I can’t.”

Old Master Yan got directly to the point and asked, “While you are dealing with him, what is the biggest obstruction?” He knew his grandson’s character quite well, who was quite stubborn sometimes. He thought that since his grandson could not let it go, he should directly get the issue solved and make his grandson let go of this issue completely.

Yan Chaozong was hesitant for a while. After that, he said, “Speaking of those who would be the most likely to help him out, one of them is the Xue family and the other is Third Master Wu.”

Old Master Yan put down the camera, turned around, and stared at Lao Er of the Yan family and Yan Chaozong. Then, he said in an undeniable manner, “Lao Er, you will be in charge of this thing. Don’t need to pay attention to the Xue family. All you need to do is to watch over them. But, you can’t offend them. You talk with this Third Master Wu on your own, promising him that he can enter the Shanghai market and cooperate with us in various fields. Since Zhou Wenwu died, we have not found a suitable spokesperson. Since he has been casting his greedy eyes on Shanghai for a long time, he should show us his sincerity to do so by dealing with this young man conveniently. The way I see it, he won’t say no.”

Upon hearing what his grandfather had said, Yan Chaozong opened his eyes wide immediately. It did not occur to him that his grandfather would make such a decision for his sake. He was simply impressed by his grandfather’s stratagem.

Lao Er of the Yan family changed the look in his eyes slightly and said, “Father, why do you do this?”

Old Master Yan explained as he said, “Our business in Zhejiang becomes more and more prosperous. However, a lot of mistakes have taken place there in recent days. We need to find a more suitable partner. Third Master Wu has been completely whitewashed in the past years, who acts as a good choice for us. I am doing it for the Yan family, not for Chao Song. Chao Song’s issue can be taken care of conveniently.” Though Old Master Yan showed no interest in all the issues going on in the Yan family, he knew about them all quite well.

Lao Er of the Yan family nodded quietly as he said, “All right. I will get it done right away.”

Old Master Yan gave Yan Chaozong a hard look and said, “Don’t act so hesitantly when it comes to getting things done in the future. The Yan family can’t afford to be disgraced again like this.”

Yan Chaozong was silent and speechless. He did disappoint the Old Master this time, which was credited back to Qin Sheng. However, he did not need to think of Qin Sheng as a threat anymore since Qin Sheng would be dead soon.

So far, Qin Sheng had been trapped. While facing three strong opponents, including the Yan family, the Old Monk, and Third Master Wu, how could he break through the tight encirclement and escape this time?
