Chapter 57: Chapter 056 Encountering Danger【Seeking Favorites!】

”Order whatever, it’s my treat,”

Inside the restaurant, Qin Tian passed the menu to Lu Qing.

It was already nine in the evening and the restaurant was bustling with many diners. However, amidst the lively atmosphere, Qin Tian and Lu Qing felt more at ease.

Lu Qing was still dressed in her white office blouse and a professional short skirt, paired with black high heels—a typical urban office worker.

Especially with her figure and pretty face, their table attracted a lot of attention.

”Then I won’t be shy.” Lu Qing ordered her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs and a spicy boiled fish, looking very cheerful.

”Handsome, buy a rose for your girlfriend,”

While the two were chatting, a girl who looked like a middle school student came up to their table with a big bunch of roses.

”Brother, your girlfriend is really beautiful. Buy a rose for this pretty sister,”

The girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a ponytail, appearing to be a young girl working part-time.

Qin Tian and Lu Qing looked at each other without saying a word.

Lu Qing blushed. She wanted to explain, but hesitated for a moment, only smiled, and did not speak.

”Brother, I wish you a hundred years of good union, happiness for a lifetime...”

”Alright, alright, I’ll buy, I’ll buy,”

Seeing the young girl’s adorable appearance, Qin Tian could only nod and said, ”Good things come in pairs, I’ll take two; how much for one?”

”Two yuan each.”

Qin Tian took out ten yuan and gave it to her: ”Little sister, I only want two, keep the change, and I hope you study hard in the future.”

”Thank you, brother.”

The girl took the money, handed over the roses, even bowed to Qin Tian before leaving.

”I didn’t realize you were so compassionate; I underestimated you,” Lu Qing laughed, ”But if you wanted to give money, just give it directly, why bother with the roses?”

Qin Tian, holding two blooming red roses, said, ”Since I bought them, of course, I have to give them to you, Qing sister, you are prettier than the flowers.”

Qin Tian’s movements were very gentlemanly as he handed over the flowers.

Lu Qing’s face instantly flushed, she hesitated for a bit, finally took the two roses, and shyly said, ”Qin Tian, do you know what roses mean, especially when a man gives them to a woman?”

”I know,”

”Then why did you give them to me?”

”Why can’t I give you flowers? Since you’re single, I can pursue you, right?”

”You, this person...”

Lu Qing’s already flushed face reddened even more after hearing Qin Tian’s words.

She felt her heartbeat speed up, cheeks warm, and her gaze turned toward Qin Tian, but when Qin Tian looked back at her, she nervously shifted her eyes away.

”What’s going on... why can’t I look him in the eyes... he’s just joking.” Lu Qing wondered internally, but the thumping thrill was real.

”Seeing as you are my disciple, I’ll accept this flower. This is... this is the first flower I’ve accepted,” Lu Qing said with a red face.

”Has anyone given you flowers before?”

”Yeah, of course, during college on Singles Day and Valentine’s Day, there would always be one or two boys oddly giving me flowers; I barely even knew them... I didn’t dare to accept.”

”Hehe, that means we are quite close huh?”

Qin Tian laughed and quickly served Lu Qing some food, ”Eat more, Master, you’ve worked hard; your disciple is showing his respect.”

”Such a good disciple, really understanding... giggle.”

Lu Qing laughed and was very happy.

After finishing their meal, Qin Tian paid the bill and noticed Lu Qing had taken the two roses with her, and said with a smile, ”Those flowers will wither overnight, just throw them away.”

Lu Qing pouted, ”I kind of don’t want to throw them away since I bought them; I’ll try to keep them for a couple of days.”

A taxi was called and Qin Tian accompanied Lu Qing home.

However, when they were almost at Lu Qing’s apartment building, Qin Tian, through the taxi’s rearview mirror, noticed something unusual.

There were several cars that seemed to be following them!

This discovery was extraordinary. Qin Tian observed carefully and saw that at least one sedan and two vans were trailing them.

From the beginning at the restaurant to near Lu Qing’s residential area, those three vehicles had been tailing them!

The two vans looked familiar; Qin Tian remembered the unlicensed vans that appeared at the construction site.

At that moment, he was clear—men from the Qingyun Society were targeting him!

”Master, don’t stop, just drive straight ahead,”

Qin Tian told the taxi driver and then took out his phone to call Wild Boar.

”Wild Boar, I’m being tailed; there are many of them. Bring some brothers over to help. Yeah, Lu Qing is with me; you guys mainly need to ensure her safety. It might get rough, and I’m worried I can’t look after her.”

Listening to Qin Tian’s phone call, the previously happy Lu Qing’s expression slightly changed: ”Qin Tian, what’s happening, what’s going on?”

”Sis Qing, it’s okay, just a few tailgaters, I’ll handle it in a moment. Once the wild boar arrives, you go with them, don’t worry about me.”

After speaking, Qin Tian continued to discuss with the wild boar and arranged to meet in the Birch Forest on the outskirts.

Estimating the time, Qin Tian asked the taxi driver to drive towards the forest near Birch Forest.

As they were about to reach Birch Forest, Qin Tian prepared to get out of the car alone and tried to have the taxi driver take Lu Qing away. However, as soon as the taxi stopped, three cars had already surrounded them, trapping everyone.

Qin Tian knew very well that the people from Qingyun Society had probably seen him dining with Lu Qing and would most likely assume she was his woman, definitely not letting Lu Qing go.

”Both of you, get out!”

Ten or so men jumped out of two Chang’an cars, each looking fierce and wielding machetes.

Seeing this, Lu Qing was terrified and instinctively clung to Qin Tian’s arm, ”Qin Tian, are these people here for you?”

Qin Tian’s face was stern and he didn’t answer directly, ”Don’t be afraid, I’m here!”

”Qin Tian, if you don’t get out now, do you believe I’ll slaughter the taxi driver too!”

At that moment, a middle-aged man in a suit appeared in front of the taxi, looking refined but speaking with a murderous aura.

”Please... Please get out, I don’t want to die...” The taxi driver, a middle-aged man, was trembling with fear.

Qin Tian held Lu Qing’s hand and, both overwhelmed by fear, got out of the car together.

”Get lost!” A tattooed man shouted at the taxi driver, who, terrified, rolled away in the car without even turning on the headlights.

In the forest, only the people from Qingyun Society and the two of them remained.

Qin Tian wondered why the wild boar and his group hadn’t arrived yet?

”Qin Tian, living a good life, huh? Finding a beauty to romance under the moonlight.”

The man in the suit, smoking a cigar, looked coldly at Qin Tian.

This man, appearing distinguished, was more formidable than the riffraff of Qingyun Society, not a simple character!

”Who might you be?” Qin Tian asked, holding Lu Qing’s hand.

”Qiao Zhicheng,” the man responded indifferently.

Was this man the ”Second Brother” mentioned by the wild boar?!

”Second Brother is unfathomable, whether in strategy or skill, both beyond measure. I haven’t truly clashed with him, but from what I’ve gathered, I’m probably no match for him,” was the wild boar’s frequent assessment of Qiao Zhicheng.

Unexpectedly, this man looked so refined.

Seeing that Qin Tian remained silent, Qiao Zhicheng took a puff of his cigar, ”Didn’t expect me to come looking for you? This should be within your expectations, right?”

”What’s up? If you followed me all this way, I guess you guys are up to no good,” Qin Tian scoffed, trying to buy some time and looking for an opportunity.

If it indeed came to blows now, Lu Qing could be in danger.

”Well put with ’up to no good’. Qin Tian, I, Qiao Zhicheng, like to speak bluntly. Tonight, I just want to confirm two things with you,” he said.

Finding me this late... This guy sure speaks elegantly.

”Ask,” Qin Tian said succinctly.

”Straight to the point. I want to ask you, my brother Headbutt was severely injured; was that your doing?”

”Yes.”

”Stubble, was it you who killed him?”

”No.”

Hearing this, Qiao Zhicheng’s gaze flickered, and he scoffed, ”Playing the gangster, one should own up to their actions. If you killed him and don’t admit it, what kind of man are you!”

”There’s nothing I wouldn’t admit to.”

Qin Tian smiled faintly, ”I just went to find Stubble the night before last and took him to the beach. As for whether he ended up in the sea, I’m not sure. I keep my word; I didn’t finish him off. Are you satisfied with this answer?”

”Ridiculous reasoning! You took Number Six to the beach, and he disappears without a trace, yet you say it wasn’t you who killed him?”

Qiao Zhicheng put out his cigarette, frowning, ”Since you’ve come this far, I, Qiao Zhicheng, won’t beat around the bush. Qin Tian, I’ll give you two options.”

”Oh?”

As Qin Tian spoke, his eyes scanned the surroundings, knowing that Qiao Zhicheng likely wouldn’t let the matter rest and was thus thinking of a way to escape.

”First, you resist tonight, and I kill you. As for this young beauty next to you, with enough men here, we’ll have our turn before killing her.”

Hisss!

At these words, Qin Tian clenched his teeth. He distinctly felt Lu Qing gripping his hand tighter, her hand trembling slightly.

”Sis Qing, are you scared?” Qin Tian asked Lu Qing in a low voice.

Lu Qing took a deep breath and gripped Qin Tian’s hand even tighter, ”With you here, I’m not afraid!”

In her eyes sparked a flicker of resolute determination comparable to facing death.

”I won’t let them succeed. If you die, I will kill myself immediately!”
