Chapter 51: Chapter 050 Qingyun Gang Causes Trouble

”What happened? Fatty, slow down and speak.”

Seeing Liu Ping’an panting heavily, Qin Tian handed him a glass of water.

”People are causing trouble at the Eastern Park construction site—it’s turned into a fight!”

Liu Ping’an took a sip of water, breathing heavily, and looked at Qin Tian.

”I thought it was something serious; it’s just this?”

Qin Tian curled his lip, appearing nonchalant and detached, then turned and sat back down in his office chair, continuing to close his eyes and rest.

”Didn’t Sun Shuai say he would ensure nothing would go wrong? He claimed he had connections, so let him handle it.”

If it had been anyone else, Qin Tian would probably have rushed over to help right away.

But Sun Shuai, to be clear: when Sun Shuai was preparing to go to the East Garden, he didn’t spare any moment to mock and sneer at Qin Tian. If Sun Shuai really became the head of the security team, who knows, he might even turn on Qin Tian.

So why should he warm his face to stick to someone’s cold butt?

”No, boss, they’ve already started fighting over there, and it seems like Sun Shuai is seriously injured... It looks like those people are from the society, prepared and not afraid to die. How can our Security Department match these desperate people?”

”Oh?”

Qin Tian frowned slightly; if Sun Shuai was injured, it seemed like those people were quite savage.

Qin Tian stood up and after a moment’s thought, no matter what, he couldn’t let the situation escalate. And those people were after the Murong Group, so he really couldn’t just stand by.

”Let’s go, have a look.”

Qin Tian picked up his cellphone and went outside.

”Just the two of us? Shouldn’t we call the brothers?” Liu Ping’an was startled.

”No need to call. There are only a few people at the group’s headquarters to begin with. Why call them over? Let’s go,” said Qin Tian.

”Ah?”

Liu Ping’an scratched his head, a bit surprised, thinking to himself, Boss, we are going to help in a fight, just the two of us? Won’t those people knock us down easily?

But seeing Qin Tian walking out without any intention of calling for backup, Liu Ping’an could only shrug and follow him out.

The Security Department had a Chang’an car and a Volkswagen car, and Qin Tian drove straight to the Eastern Park construction site with Liu Ping’an in the Volkswagen.

Upon reaching the construction site, they saw that in front of the temporarily erected work shed, wooden sticks, steel pipes, and even machetes were scattered all around, and those standing on the construction site seemed to be all construction workers and a few security guards; the troublemakers were nowhere to be seen.

Qin Tian and Liu Ping’an approached, and Liu Ping’an asked a security guard, ”Brother Li, where are those troublemakers? And where is team leader Sun?”

The security guard looked down, then shook his head, seemingly in distress, ”Team leader Sun and Lei Han, Jiang Hong, were all taken to the hospital. Some construction workers were also taken there... Team leader Sun got stabbed twice in the leg; his injuries are quite severe.”

Qin Tian scanned the surroundings with a frown, ”Where are the troublemakers?”

”That group left. They had a car specially to pick them up. They left after we called the police,” the guard said.

Qin Tian learned from some of the lightly injured security guards and construction workers that it was indeed a premeditated attack by those people from outside to cause destruction.

First, three men came to cause trouble, deliberately provoking and drawing out the security team’s response. Then, three Chang’an cars arrived with more than twenty strong men, all armed with steel pipes, attacking anyone they saw.

Sun Shuai fought them and was seriously injured, but those people didn’t inflict fatal blows; injuring people was all they came for. Once their goal was achieved, they left in Chang’an cars without license plates, and even if the police came, they couldn’t do anything about it.

”Such a practiced approach,” Qin Tian muttered to himself with closed eyes, imagining that this group was definitely not simple thugs.

Qin Tian knew that usually when a construction site opens, if there’s no strong backing, it’s easy for local thugs to cause trouble—for example, stealing construction materials. In short, they do everything in their power to prevent normal operations. Their goal is simple: let you know that this territory is theirs and second, to extort a ”protection fee.”

If the fee isn’t paid, they keep causing trouble, like what happened today.

As a major corporation, Murong Group certainly wouldn’t succumb to threats from thugs, especially with a character like Murong Fei.

The Murong Group called the police numerous times, but it seemed that the police had their people involved, and every time the police missed the mark. At most, they would detain someone for fifteen days on administrative charges before releasing them—so not only Murong Group but all real estate developers in Zhonghai City’s Eastern District were troubled.

The Eastern District was notorious for its complexity, with gangs running rampant and even the police were hard-pressed to deal with it.

”Let’s visit Sun Shuai at the hospital.”

After assessing the situation, Qin Tian drove with Liu Ping’an directly to the hospital where Sun Shuai was staying.

When they saw Sun Shuai in the hospital bed, he was completely wrapped in white gauze, looking like a mummy.

”Can you speak?” Qin Tian asked.

Sun Shuai nodded.

”Tell me, the group that caused trouble today, do you know where they came from?”

”I know, most of us in the Security Department know...”

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian frowned, ... I got a bit full of myself before, and I may have offended many. Don’t take it to heart. In the future, you should be the captain of the security team.”

A dying man often speaks good words, and Sun Shuai thought of his ruined future and felt very sad.

”But, I still need to remind you that being the captain of the security team is not easy. Without social connections, you will have difficulty moving forward. I am a living example. With your personality, you never take anyone seriously and dealing with those people in society, you will suffer. Take care.”

Leaving the hospital, Qin Tian felt very complicated.

It appeared Sun Shuai’s legs were disabled; he couldn’t work as a security guard anymore. Of course, Murong Group would give him some compensation since he was injured on the job. Still, thinking about it, the guy was somewhat pitiable.

”Boss, Captain Sun is right. The situation in the Eastern District is a bit complex. In the future, when we deal with those people, let’s not be too confrontational. It’s okay to be a little submissive, to curry favor with them, as long as they don’t cause us trouble.”

”Naïve.”

Qin Tian glanced at Liu Ping’an and said, ”Fatty, you should know that this world operates on the survival of the fittest. The law cannot entirely punish the bad guys, so sometimes, we need to have a sense of justice. If you show weakness to those people, they will ride on your head and shit and piss all their lives...”

”But boss, we don’t have the capital to fight with them,” Liu Ping’an said helplessly. ”Boss, I really don’t want anything to happen to you. Don’t end up like Sun Shuai...”

”Heh, Fatty, you really don’t understand me at all. Don’t worry, with time, you’ll come to know what it means to have hidden depths,” Qin Tian reassured him.

The two of them drove back to the company, and just as they got out of the car, Qin Tian received a call from Murong Fei’s personal secretary, Wang Yu, instructing him to go to the CEO’s office immediately.

”President Fei.”

In the CEO’s office, Qin Tian knocked and entered.

Murong Fei stood in front of the large glass window, looking down as if in deep thought.

The tall and attractive silhouette made Qin Tian involuntarily take a second look.

”Qin Tian, you’re aware of the incident that happened in East Park?” Murong Fei invited Qin Tian to sit down and asked.

Qin Tian nodded, ”Just returned from there.”

”That’s how the Eastern District is, very chaotic. That’s also why I previously appointed Huang Zhenggang as the team leader. Now you should understand my reasoning.”

”I understand, but I still think that scum is scum. Using a thug like Huang Zhenggang is not a long-term solution,” Qin Tian said with conviction.

Both of them had serious expressions on their faces in the office, a first between them.

After all, three people were severely injured today, essentially becoming disabled, which made it hard to stay relaxed.

Especially for Murong Fei, ever since Huang Zhenggang resigned, it seemed that security issues had been a persistent problem for Murong Group, hindering the development of several new projects. Even the police were struggling to handle it.

This was also why Murong Fei had specifically mentioned it in the last meeting and made an exception to let Qin Tian and Sun Shuai attend the meeting.

”If only grandfather were here,” Murong Fei sighed to herself.

Murong Bei’s reputation in the underworld was well-known, and though he was of advanced age, many people on the streets were his disciples. If Murong Bei were to step in, these minor issues would be somewhat mitigated by the big shots showing some respect.

But Murong Bei was still in Europe and wouldn’t be returning anytime soon.

Moreover, Murong Bei had said that corporate matters were to be managed solely by Murong Fei, without his further involvement.

So, even if Murong Bei were in Zhonghai, the strong-willed Murong Fei would probably not seek his help.

”Qin Tian, you’ve seen how dangerous the Security Department can be. So, I’m transferring you to another department. Don’t get involved with the Security Department’s affairs anymore to prevent grandfather from saying I intentionally sent you to a risky position,” Murong Fei said after a moment of thought.
