“What? Someone snatched a tank from the military and drove it to Qionghai City? Really?”
Before the Shi Ying Squad was ‘escorted’ to the military area, the news had been spread on a small scale. What Zhang Hai had said was quite arrogant. Others all wondered where that group of people had found the guts to snatch a tank from the military.
Jiang Liushi didn’t care about such trivial matters. He was sitting on the co-pilot’s seat, enjoying the ride. Upon seeing his actions, nobody could imagine that a bloody battle was about to take place.
At that moment, a voice came from outside. “Hey, friend. You seem quite relaxed.”
Jiang Liushi looked out lazily, and he saw an SUV right next to them. Because his tour bus was higher, Jiang Liushi had to look down. The man who spoke was wearing a pair of golden glasses. Jiang Liushi wasn’t interested in the stranger at all. He was about to lie down again, but that young man said again. “Friend, it would be better for you to listen to my words. I know you are the captain of a powerful team. But since you snatched the military’s tank, your life will soon become extremely miserable. I’m afraid you have offended the military, maybe you will be sent to the military court.”
Jiang Liushi frowned. “What are you trying to say?”
“I’m Qin Hongfang. I’d like to do business with you,” said Qin Hongfang, showing a warm smile.
In Qionghai City, Qin Hongfang could be regarded as an important figure. He monopolized all the bars in the Qionghai City because of his connections with Qionghai City’s influential leaders.
When he heard that someone had snatched a tank, he became quite interested in the matter. Of course, he didn’t want to get that tank as it belonged to the military and it was useless to him. Qin Hongfang was a social butterfly, so he had also heard from the guards’ captain that this group of people had an excellent tour bus. Qin Hongfang would like to acquire the tour bus and make it a mobile club. It would be quite interesting.
“Did you hear what Brother Qin said?” A female’s gentle voice sounded. A beautiful young girl stood up from that SUV’s panoramic skylight. She was Li Qianqian, who was one of Qin Hongfang’s many lovers.
“Let me be forthcoming with you. Brother Qin likes your tour bus. You probably do not know that in the Qionghai City lots of people are competing against each other to do business with Brother Qin. You are really lucky. As soon as you entered the city, Brother Qin took the initiative to do business with you. Give us your tour bus,” said Li Qianqian as if she had witnessed many things.
After listening to her, Jiang Liushi laughed. He never liked to talk with self-righteous women.
At that moment, Qin Hongfang also got what Jiang Liushi thought from his micro-expressions.
“Friend, don’t be too proud. To be honest, it’s quite easy for me to find a tour bus. But I don’t want to spend my precious time. That’s why I want to buy your tour bus. If you sell it at the trading market, you won’t get a high offer as it is not practical at all. Nobody will want to buy it other than me,” said Qin Hongfang.
Jiang Liushi laughed once again. Although many coveted and wanted to snatch his MCV, it was the first time that someone had ever offered to buy it.
“Oh? Tell me, what price do you think my tour bus can fetch?” asked Jiang Liushi.
Qin Hongfang didn’t give a direct answer. Instead, he asked slowly, “Do you think you can just go to the military area to give that tank?”
Jiang Liushi finally understood that Qin Hongfang didn’t want to buy his tour bus at all. On the contrary, he wanted to force him to give it to him in exchange for his help. In the end, even Qin Hongfang had no intention to buy the MCV.
“I know some senior figures in the military, such as General Liu, Commissioner Sun, including General Luo, so I can help you…”
“Oh?” Of course, Jiang Liushi knew that the so-called General Luo was Luo Jiafeng. Although Jiang Liushi could enter the military area, he didn’t know how Luo Jiafeng looked like. Even Ran Xiyu couldn’t tell. After all, Ran Xiyu could just sense the mental energy.
Jiang Liushi had been racking his brain on how to find Luo Jiafeng, but who could have expected that an idiot would appear to lead them to him for free?
“Do you know General Luo?” asked Jiang Liushi in surprise deliberately.
“Haha…” Qin Hongfang just smiled but didn’t answer. It was just like the emperor listening to a farmer saying he used a golden hoe and dunked meat.
Li Qianqian looked at Jiang Liushi disdainfully. “You are indeed a frog in the well…I will give you a piece of information, and you need to process it carefully. All the bars in Qionghai City belong to Brother Qin.”
In such a lawless, post-apocalyptic world, it was easy for a person to indulge in their desires. For those paranormals who did not know whether they could live to see the next day’s sun or not, bars and casinos were wonderful places for them to vent their lust. In particular, discreet services and transactions were obligatory to those places.
Jiang Liushi suddenly became interested in the Qin Hongfang. He touched his chin and looked at Qin Hongfang as if he was looking at a fat sheep. He estimated that the wealth Qin Hongfang had accumulated from his clubs should rival several warlords’ together. The electromagnetic pulse projectiles were near completion, so it was the right time for Jiang Liushi to gather resources again. Getting to meet Qin Hongfang, was a truly wonderful occasion!
“Oh, Brother Qin. I’m so sorry. You should have led with that.” Jiang Liushi sat up and showed an amiable smile. “I really want to meet General Luo if possible. If it’s convenient for Brother Qin, would you introduce me to him?”
The change in Jiang Liushi’s attitude was normal for Qin Hongfang. He had already met many similar people that had adopted a kind façade after learning of his relationship with Luo Jiafeng. Although they were not that close as other might think, in those people’s minds even the slightest form of knowing someone was stronger than nothing.
Qin Hongfang enjoyed that kind of feeling and looked down upon all the boot-lickers. The man inside that tour bus was a good example.
“Well, I can bring you to meet him. I happen to have something for General Luo. You’ll wait outside, and I’ll notify you. If General Luo is in a good mood, he will meet you.”
“Good,” answered Jiang Liushi immediately.
“Oh, how about that tank…” Qin Hongfang asked again.
“To be frank, we picked it up on the way. How could we possibly have snatched it from the military? We’ll hand it to the military later.”
Qin Hongfang smiled, but he was disappointed. Initially, he was under the impression that his team was an extremely powerful one, but he didn’t find anything special. If he knew that earlier, he would have sent Li Qianqian on her own to deal with them.
“Then, how about your tour bus?” asked Qin Hongfang.
After estimating the team’s real strength, Qin Hongfang changed his mind slightly. That tour bus was kind of small for him to turn it into a mobile club.
“Brother Qin, rest assured. As long as you lead me to meet General Luo, I will give it to you with several mutant nuclei as a meeting gift,” said Jiang Liushi and smiled.
“Good!” Qin Hongfang nodded with satisfaction. “Since you gave me a straight answer, I will do as I said.” Qin Hongfang wasn’t the least doubtful. In his mind, that kind of action was a quite common and right one.
After some time, they arrived at the gate of the military area. According to the command, the tank had to be disarmed. After all, the military area was ahead. Zhang Hai and Sun Kun had to get off. Xie Shasha also followed.
After Xie Shasha had fallen to the ground and had been saved by Luoluo, she had stayed hidden. When the battle was over, she had taken Luoluo back to Shi Ying Squad. But she didn’t dare to get on that tour bus, so she got on the tank.
Seeing Xie Shasha, Qin Hongfang was attracted by her at once. ‘One more beauty? Why are so many beauties in this team?’ He stared at Xie Shasha, but she got on Jiang Liushi’s tour bus quickly. Qin Hongfang began to think whether he could get that beauty to play with her.
Suddenly, Jiang Liushi asked, “Brother Qin, since we have handed the tank, may I meet General Luo now?”
“Yes, just follow me. You handed the tank, so you have the right to meet him,” said Qin Hongfang.
