Why did Qin Sheng think so?

If Poly International’s trouble was caused by Cao Da, Qin Sheng had just been implicated in this incident . Considering Cao Da’s high position, it made sense that he might be stabbed in the back . Their enemy would not be a nobody . However, if this was due to him, Qin Sheng would definitely feel hapless . He was no more than a small potato . How could those people cause so much trouble to go against him? In that case, he would of course feel overwhelmed .
Who was the target and how he thought was not important . Now, taking action was a priority .
After Qin Sheng settled everything at Poly International, he left some of the Security Guard Department staff there and asked other people to leave . Tang She stayed with him, waiting for Yang Deng and Brother Luo’s man . They did not wait too long .
Yang Deng, Brother Luo’s man, Qin Sheng, and Tang She left Poly International together . They stopped somewhere on the road and smoked . Then, Yang Deng asked, “Who has the power to deliver such a great strike?”
“If I knew, I wouldn’t waste my time smoking here,” Qin Sheng said with a forced smile .
Everybody felt more or less depressed . Yang Deng laughed and said, “What would you do if you knew? Take your men and kill them all? No, you wouldn’t have to . I guess you might offend some big shot . Find the person and give him something good . Then, everything will be alright . ”
“I hope so,” Qin Sheng said while he squinted .
After smoking a cigarette, they went to the municipal public security bureau . This would definitely be a sleepless night .
This big incident had stirred up some waves on lots of people’s minds, just like a single stone could create a ripple all over a lake . Nobody had figured out the truth . They were all asking around for information .
Thanks to all their efforts, most of Poly International’s people had been released by the police at dawn, except for Chang Baji and some managers . A bureau leader told them that they had to report something to the higher-ups . Although he was willing to release them all, he could do nothing until the leader gave him permission .
Qin Sheng asked Tang She and Gu Qingyang to deal with these things and then took Yang Deng and Brother Cai- Luo Ge’s man- to have breakfast . He was almost starving to death . He had barely eaten anything after yesterday’s lunch . His dinner with Lin Su last night had been ruined by the unexpected incident, so he’d only eaten a little .

After breakfast, Qin Sheng told Yang Deng and Brother Cai, “Thank you for your help . Go back to sleep now . I’ll call you if I need you . ”
“You should do the same . It’s not a big deal . Nobody was killed, and there’s no fire . The worst outcome would be starting a new business,” Yang Deng said to comfort him .
Qin Sheng nodded at Yang Deng and Brother Cai . After seeing the two of them off, he left for Jiuxi Rose Garden by taxi . He had to report to Cao Da what had happened the previous night and see what Cao Da was going to do next .
Cao Da had also slept late the previous night . However, he did not feel annoyed any more after he had figured out the whole thing . After all, he had experienced a lot of storms over the past decades, so this incident was not a big deal in comparison . He had been calm while doing these things, as he knew that Qin Sheng would settle the rest of the chores .
When Qin Sheng arrived at Jiuxi Rose Garden, Cao Da was still asleep . Considering Cao Da’s age, he naturally was not as energetic as young people any longer . The maidservant asked Qin Sheng to wait in the sitting room .
About half an hour later, Qin Sheng finally met the mansion’s hostess, Second Aunt Mi Na . When she went downstairs and saw Qin Sheng sitting there, she said in confusion, “Qin Sheng? Why are you here? It’s still so early . ”
“Good morning, Second Aunt . I have something to talk to Uncle Cao about . ” Qin Sheng stood up and answered politely . However, he looked exhausted, as he had been busy the whole night and not gotten any rest .
It was very early . Mi Na had just gotten up and was not fully conscious, so she didn’t think too much . She just laughed and said, “He’s taking a shower . It won’t take too long . You just wait here . I’m going out for shopping . ”
Qin Sheng nodded and said, “Okay, Second Aunt . Goodbye . ”
Qin Sheng did not wait too long before Cao Da went downstairs . Then, he stood up . However, Cao Da made a gesture and said, “Let’s talk about this outside . ”
He then asked the maidservant to make some tea .

When they reached the garden, Cao Da said calmly, “You don’t have to feel bad . It’s not your fault . This is out of your control . I’ve almost figured it out . It’s a vice-chief of the provincial public security bureau who was going to retire . I didn’t know who was behind this, so I asked some leaders of the provincial government and provincial public security bureau to have dinner tonight . You will go with me and try to settle this at dinner . Have you taken care of everything else?”
A starved camel was still bigger than a horse . Although Cao Da was not as powerful as before, he had still accumulated his own human resources during all those years in Hangzhou . Thus, he had figured out almost everything only by making a couple of phone calls . This leader, who was almost retired, had been exploited by somebody . However, he was still puzzled . Who was going against him regardless of this great trouble? There were other easier ways .
“I’ve arranged all the staff vacations . Poly International has closed down indefinitely . Apart from several management employees, everyone else was released last night . Next, we will hear about the punishment decision of the municipal public security bureau . ” Qin Sheng reported the truth .
Cao Da squinted and said, “Well done . There might be other trouble soon . However, to me, this is not an end, but a beginning . You should be more careful now, and I’ll observe Lao Zhou as well . ”
“Okay, I’ll be careful,” Qin Sheng said with a profound expression .
Cao Da sighed and said, “We’ll talk about this later . You’ve been bustling around the whole night . Go home and get some rest . It’s alright now . Remember, come to dinner early . ”
“What do you think of Yuan Ke? Is he viable?” Qin Sheng couldn’t help asking . Only Yuan Ke had the power and motivation to do this .
Cao Da, who didn’t care about this, said, “No more guessing . Things will finally come out . Now, go home and rest . ”
“Okay, Uncle Cao . I’m leaving . ” Qin Sheng said goodbye to Cao and left .
Qin Sheng was exhausted by the time he went back to Golden Coast . Yesterday, he had spent almost half a day on the road . Then, he had met his girlfriend and chatted a little before bustling around the whole night . He was too tired to complain about this . Anyway, life was a struggle . There had to be a lot of other people leading even more exhausting lives than him . Nobody cared about his complaints . He had to go through all those ups and downs by himself .
Qin Sheng went home and found Lin Su making breakfast in the kitchen . She heard the sound and went out to check, worried about Qin Sheng’s tired look . However, she did not ask anything . Lin Su hid her qualms and said, “Go take a shower . Then have breakfast and get some rest . ”

“I’ve had breakfast . I’m okay, I’ll take a short rest later . ” Qin Sheng gave Lin Su a hug and smiled . He did not want her to worry too much .
Lin Su wanted to say something to Qin Sheng, but she decided to delay this talk and let Qin Sheng get some rest first .
Qin Sheng didn’t sleep long . After three hours, he was awakened by the phone . He did not dare turn off the phone in case of an emergency .
A three-hour sleep was enough for Qin Sheng to feel refreshed . He took a shower and changed into clean clothes . Then, he went to the study and called the number back . When Qin Sheng was done, he went to the sitting room and found Lin Su preparing lunch .
“Honey, I’ll do this . You go and rest for a while . ” Lin Su had taken a long business trip and finally had a two-day break . Qin Sheng did not want her to be so busy .
Lin Su, who was wearing floppy leisure wear, shook her head and said, “It’s okay . I’m almost done . Just wait for lunch . ”
“You sure?” Qin Sheng asked in her ear, hugging Lin Su from behind .
Lin Su, who felt uneasy, pushed Qin Sheng out of the kitchen, in case he caused more trouble here . She was sure that something big had happened last night . She had just come back from her business trip . Qin Sheng had never stayed out after her return . Qin Sheng’s tired look definitely made her realize something as well .
Qin Sheng went back to the sitting room and answered on Wechat . Lin Su soon got lunch ready . It included four dishes and one soup, all nice home meals .
“Honey, I’m sorry I didn’t stay with you last night,” Qin Sheng said with regret .
Lin Su smiled and said, “As you said, we’re already an old couple . You don’t have to say this . I know you must have had something urgent to deal with, or you wouldn’t have stayed out the whole night . ”
“God blessed me with a good wife like you,” Qin Sheng said to please Lin Su .
Lin Su lowered her head and continued to eat . After a while, she hesitated and raised her head before saying carefully, “I’ve thought it over and over again . I know you’ve been tired, but I have to tell you this . ”
“You don’t need to hesitate . Just do anything you want . Nothing is more important than your issues,” Qin Sheng said in his manly voice .
Lin Su smiled and said, “I… I know . It’s not a big deal . I just got a call from my uncle last night when I arrived home . ”
“Hmm…” Qin Sheng was puzzled . The Lins had not contacted Lin Su for a long time . “What will they do? Force her to leave, or anything else?” he thought .
“My uncle wants to talk to you and apologize for Lin Ze’s business . He arrived in Hangzhou today . If you’re willing to see him, he can meet you at any time and any place . ” Lin Su repeated Uncle Lin Changhe’s proposal word-for-word . She did not mention that her uncle had asked about her life and whether Qin Sheng was good to her . Her grandmother missed her very much and had been in a good condition recently . He helped her understand her father more, who, as the head of the Lins, sometimes had to make tough choices .
She did not care about other things . The only person she cared about was her grandmother . She had gotten upset when Lin Yue had called her two days ago, and she had not slept well after her uncle had talked to her .
Qin Sheng was lost in thought . Lin Changhe had never been so friendly to him . Qin Sheng had a relatively good impression of Lin Su’s uncle, who was not as tough as Lin Changting .
“My uncle also asked me to tell you that Yan Chaozong has been staying in Hangzhou . He told the Lins about our situation,” Lin Su said with a frown . She had particularly mentioned this because she suspected that what had happened to Qin Sheng last night might have had something to do with Yan Chaozong . She knew that Yan Chaozong never let things go easily .
Although she knew nothing about Poly’s incident, Lin Su was actually right . If she knew, she might not reach this conclusion . This was exactly the truth, even though it seemed to be far from it .
Qin Sheng thought for a while, his complexion becoming cloudy . Then, he sighed and asked, “What do you think of this?”
