Chapter 322: 322
Qin Sheng was pretty careless this time . Never would it occur to him that Gu Xiaobo would betray him . After all, Gu Xiaobo had just been released from the bureau this morning . He had made up his mind temporarily to leave Hangzhou in advance at nightfall . Plus, there were not so many people, who had known that he was going to leave Hangzhou . Others had only known that he would leave tomorrow morning . Only the five people, including Chang Baji, had known he was going to leave today .

As for these five people, Qin Sheng thought he could trust them completely, including Chang Baji and Hao Lei . Gu Xiaobo and Gu Qingyang were Chang Baji’s Senior Nephews, and Qin Sheng was pretty satisfied with their performance during this period . As for Tang She, though he was the last one to be taken in by Qin Sheng, Chang Baji had taken that into consideration and had arranged him to be on the same route with Hao Lei .
Moreover, Chang Baji’s plan was pretty perfect . They had gotten rid of all the tails completely and left Hangzhou City smoothly . Since they were in the Hubei province now, of course, Qin Sheng would be off guard .
However, could it be that he had not noticed that everything had gone on too smoothly?
Huang Mei Town was a portal of the east of Hubei Province . It was located to the north shore of the middle Yangtze River basin and in the intersection point of Hubei, Anhui, and Jiangxi Province . Plus, it was separated from Jiujiang City by a river . It was most famous for its Huangmei Opera, which was originated from here .
As for the river, where Qin Sheng’s group was in, it was a small tributary of Changjiang River . If one walked down the river to the south, they could arrive in Changjiang directly . At this moment, they parked their car by the riverside . After that, they went off the car, smoked, and awaited Chang Baji’s arrival . Qin Sheng had called Chang Baji, who had said he should arrive there within 10 minutes . Qin Sheng had told Chang Baji about his detailed location .
Gu Qingyang, who was not talkative, said thoughtfully, “Brother Qin, take care of yourself in the future . If you need any help, we will come to your site at any time . ”
Gu Xiaobo smiled happily as he said, “Qinyang, don’t be that sad . See, we left Hangzhou City safe and sound, right? Based on Brother Qin’s capability, wherever he is, he will achieve great success anyway . All we need to do is to wait for his great news . After he is successful, we will come to him and live it up at that time . ”
Qin Sheng knew their temperaments well . Consequently, he said smilingly, “According to Lao Chang’s arrangement, you should not go back to Hangzhou City . He will take you directly to Xi’an and stay there for a while at that time . Since he is deep-rooted in Xi’an, you don’t need to be anxious there at all . ”
Gu Qingyang said excitedly, “Yes . I often heard from Master and Senior Uncle about their lives in the Zhongnan Mountains . I have been looking forward to the life there . It happens that I can take advantage of the chance this time to meet the Old Ancestor . ” He had been quite curious as to who the Old Ancestor was since he was able to have two skillful and amazing pupils, namely, his Master and his Senior Uncle .
When Gu Xiaobo heard that Gu Qingtyang had mentioned the Old Ancestor, a glow flashed across his eyes . The Old Ancestor was a legendary figure, whom they had been dying to meet in person . To them, the Old Ancestor was like the old God in a fairy tale . If they could meet him once in person in their entire life, it would be pretty worthwhile . However, he could not see the Old Ancestor in person since he was doomed . Starting from the moment when he had said yes to Hu Lan, he had not been in the same way as Qin Sheng’s group . Till now, it was not possible for him to turn back .
Upon thinking of the old God, who was an intimate friend of his Grandfather, Qin Sheng smiled happily as he said, “If you have a chance to meet the Old Ancestor in person, you will understand that for a person like him, he must have gone through quite a lot and an amazing life since he is that cool and indifferent . According to a strict system of seniority, I should call Lao Chang as my Senior Brother, and you should call me as your Senior Uncle . Your Old Ancestor imparted quite many martial skills to me . ”

Gu Qingyang asked surprisedly, “Brother Qin, is it true?” It did not occur to him that Qin Sheng would be connected to them in such a way .
Qin Sheng smiled happily as he replied, “Could it be that I would deceive you? However, I did not officially acknowledge the Old Ancestor as my teacher and learn from him yet . ”
Upon hearing what Qin Sheng had said, Gu Xiaobo could not help feeling startled in secret . He thought of a critical issue all of a sudden . At that time, if his Master knew what he had done, would he hold him accountable?
However, he could not turn back .
Qin Sheng was talking happily with Gu Qingyang and Gu Xiaobo . On Chu Sikong and Feng He’s side, they had arrived there with their underlings . After they went off the expressway, they parked their cars directly at a place, which was not far away from the exit of the expressway, and avoided the intersection . They did so to stop themselves from being caught by Chang Baji when he came out at that time .
After that, two underlings of Feng He’s were left to guard the car and inform Chu Sikong in advance when Chang Baji arrived . While Chu Sikong and Feng He led the rest to follow the trail and go at Qin Sheng’s group’s location . They intended to outflank Qin Sheng .
Nan Gong and Zhuang Zhou, who had followed behind them and gone off the expressway, happened to see the group of people getting off the car and walking to the east direction . Nan Gong and Zhuang Zhou were pretty cautious . Back when they had been on the way, they had pulled the car plate number off so that they would not be suspected if someone found out the car plate number was from Hangzhou City . At this moment, if the group of people saw that their car plate number was from Hangzhou City, they definitely would suspect them .
Zhuang Zhou and Nan Gong dared not linger there . They directly drove past the location, where the group of people had parked their cars . It was not until they turned to the left side at another intersection ahead that they stopped immediately .
Nan Gong and Zhuang Zhou stared at each other . They dared not waste any time and drove to the direction of the group of people without any hesitation .
By the riverside, Qin Sheng was talking about his stories in his childhood with Gu Qingyang and Gu Xiaobo, such as how he had learned martial skills from the Old God . Gu Qingyang and Gu Xiaobo told him about how their situation had been in Mountain Tianmu . Though they had not led an easy life in the past few years, and it had been exhausting and bitter to learn the martial arts, they had achieved some success currently, more or less .
At this moment, Gu Qingyang, who was pretty vigilant, sensed that something had gone wrong with the surrounding atmosphere all of a sudden . A few barks sounded pretty irritating . Logically speaking, there was some distance between the village and here . Barks should not be heard here . Plus, some subtle noise could also be heard .

“Brother Qin, did you feel that something seemed to have gone wrong or not?” Gu Qingyang raised his hands and indicated them to stop talking . He cocked his ears and listened to the surrounding noise .
Gu Xiaobo was somewhat startled . He knew that Feng He’s group had arrived here . Consequently, he said in a somewhat trembling voice, “Qinyang, don’t be that suspicious . Could anything go wrong in such a desolated place?”
Qin Sheng also stood up and walked in the direction of the forest . He listened for a while and found out that some footsteps seemed to be approaching them . He turned around and said to Gu Qingyang, “Something did has gone wrong . ”
It was not until this moment that Gu Qingyang had brought about his confusion as he said, “Brother Qin, did you feel that everything had gone too smoothly along the way? Since our opponents were that powerful, how could they allow us to leave Hangzhou City so smoothly?”
When Qin Sheng heard Gu Qingyang’s words, the uneasiness in his heart was amplified all of a sudden . He awoke with a start as he said, “We should better watch out . Let’s find another place to await Lao Chang’s arrival . ”
However, it was too late for him to do so at this moment .
“Ha ha ha ha…”
A burst of laughter went off unscrupulously, which sounded somewhat irritating, nearby the vast river and almost the same as the barks a moment ago . At this moment, Feng He walked out of the forest with his six experienced helpers . He stared at Qin Sheng disdainfully, teased him, and said, “Anyway, we are old friends, right? Was it suitable for you to leave Hangzhou City all of a sudden without notifying us in advance?”
At this moment, Qin Sheng’s heart was completely wretched .
As the saying went, “There must be something strange about things going wrong . ” What the people in the ancient time had said was true . It was also true with what happened this time . If they had gone through a rough process, they might end up well . However, if they had gone through too smooth a process, the ending must be a fraudulent one .
Qin Sheng, who had come to his senses, asked subconsciously, “Why are you here?” His question was simply nonsense . In his mind, he was actually pondering on what had gone wrong . After he summarized all the procedures after they had gone out of the Golden Coast, he still could not figure out what had gone wrong .

Feng He walked at Qin Sheng slowly, playing with a dagger at his hands as he said, “Why should I not be here? You were pretty powerful that day, right? How did you end up being a disowned dog and running away sneakily?”
Feng He led the six men and intended to encircle Qin Sheng’s group . Though Qin Sheng still did not know what had gone wrong, he did know that he could not stay here anymore . Since Feng He’s group had chased after them all the way from the faraway Hangzhou City, they definitely would not let him escape luckily this time . Never would they allow the situation last time to happen again . Plus, since the three families had united together, obviously, the group of people in front of him definitely were not easy to deal with .
As the saying went, “Of all strategies, a retreat is the best . ” Plus, as the other saying went, “Just run away if you cannot beat your opponent . ” Since Qin Sheng had taken great efforts to get out of Hangzhou City, it was not possible for him to play the hero at this moment . Consequently, he turned around without any hesitation and yelled at Gu Qingyang and Gu Xiaobo as he said, “Get on the car and run . ”
However, a scene, which Qin Sheng found pretty embarrassing, happened . He saw Gu Xiaobo standing motionlessly where he had been . After that, Gu Xiaobo took out the key to the car evenly and locked the car slowly when Qin Sheng and Gu Qingyang were staring at him astoundedly . The sounds of Didi went off . Qin Sheng and Gu Qingyang stood there in dumbness and stared at Gu Xiaobo astonished . It seemed that they were not willing to believe what had happened in front of them .
At this moment, if Qin Sheng still could not understand what had gone wrong, he could simply be an idiot . Why the situation in front of him had taken place? Why had Feng He shown up here? What exactly had gone wrong?
The answer laid in front of him—Gu Xiaobo had betrayed them .
Qin Sheng began to reflect on every detail, which had happened throughout the night . Back when they were going to switch cars, Gu Xiaobo had gone to pee . Back when they had almost arrived in Huang Mei Town, Gu Xiaobo had requested to go to the service area and use the bathroom . Gu Xiaobo was the one who had been driving throughout the remaining journey and held the initiatives tightly in his hands . It was also Gu Xiaobo who had chosen to await Chang Baji’s arrival here in the end .
Yes . Gu Xiaobo did have betrayed them and had leaked his whereabouts completely to the group of people, including Feng He . However, Qin Sheng did not understand why he had chosen to do so .
Feng He yelled at Qin Sheng unscrupulously as he said, “Run away now . Why did you stop running away?” Staring at Qin Sheng in front of him, who looked pretty traumatized, Feng He felt pretty comfortable in secret . He could finally get his revenge on Qin Sheng and vent his feelings .
Qin Sheng did not pay attention to Feng He . At this moment, he simply did not have time to do that . Because what Gu Xiaobo had done to him hurt him so much, which acted like a knife and left his heart bleeding . Qin Sheng hated betrayal the most for his entire life . It was especially so for him when the one he had trusted so much had betrayed him .
He stared at Gu Xiaobo closely and pressed on towards him step by step as he asked, “Why? Xiaobo, why did you do this to me? Did I do you wrong? I just can’t understand why . ”
Gu Xiaobo was awed by Qin Sheng’s imposing manner and the look in his eyes . He could not help stepping backward . Feeling pretty guilty and self-condemned, he said in a trembling voice, “Brother Qin, sorry . I am really sorry . Don’t blame me . I had no other ways out . ”
Gu Qingyang, who had figured out the ins and outs, could not restrain himself anymore . He yelled out angrily as he said, “Gu Xiaobo, you are such a cowardly bastard!” Compared with Qin Sheng, Gu Qingyang was much more angry and sad . Anyway, it was his brother who had betrayed them . His brother had been together with him every morning and every night for so many years . His brother was much closer to him than his own biological brothers .
Gu Qingyang, who was agitated, rushed at Gu Xiaobo without any hesitation and kicked right at Gu Xiaobo’s chest immediately . Gu Xiaobo did not avoid him at all and endured his kicking abruptly . He really could not face Qin Sheng and Gu Qingyang anymore since not only had he betrayed Qin Sheng but also he had betrayed Gu Qingyang, who had been his Junior Brother for many years . Except for his Master, Gu Qingyang was a brother, who was the closest to him .
Gu Qingyang’s kicking knocked Gu Xiaobo into the air immediately . Gu Xiaobo was down on his knees, and he said as his face was covered with tears, “Sorry . I am really sorry . ”
At this moment, Gu Xiaobo felt somewhat ashamed . However, it was too late .
Feng He led his underlings and enjoyed this grand show with interest . Obviously, this show was none of their business . However, he enjoyed this feeling so much, which was related to a sense of achievement when he wrapped his enemies around his little fingers .
At this time, Chang Baji had also arrived there . He drove out of the exit of the expressway slowly and drove at the location, which Qin Sheng had told him over the call . Meanwhile, he started to call Qin Sheng .
Chu Sikong received a call from the underlings, who had been guarding by the roadside, saying “Mr . Chu, he is here . ”
Chu Sikong smiled happily as he said, “Block the way . ”
