Qiao Ying withdrew her gaze gently and took a mouthful of fruit salad into her mouth. She said slowly, "I was also wondering if it was Mr. Qin's friend. I saw them staring at you all the time."
What a good move to turn the tables on him and pass the buck so decisively.
Qin Yan who was on the side couldn't help but yell "666".
Qin Hanyue: "Then it seems there is a misunderstanding."
"Where are you going next, Mr. Qin?"
"I have some business to take care of. Does Miss Qiao have any thoughts? Miss Qiao said last night that she wanted to go to the colosseum today. I can accompany Miss Qiao there tonight."
If it was before, Qin Yan would only feel that Qin Hanyue's considerate care for Qiao Ying was because of Qin YuChen, and the rest was just perfunctory. But after the two inexplicably spent the whole night together last night, everything had become unusual.
No matter how Qin Yan looked at it, it seemed ambiguous.
After all, when had the Third Master been so gentle and gracious to others, even if he was acting?
"Can I go with you to do business, Mr. Qin? I don't dare to go out and play by myself. This hotel..." Qiao Ying looked around at the pairs of covetous eyes. "I don't really dare to stay here either. These people don't look like good people."
Qin Yan scolded wildly in his heart: You've come to M State, and you're still afraid of these? Only our Third Master would indulge you.
"Miss Qiao doesn't need to be afraid. I will arrange for someone to accompany Miss Qiao," said Qin Hanyue.
"But they don't make me feel as safe as Mr. Qin does."
Qin Yan gasped silently: "..."
What else could Qin Hanyue say? He could only smile and remind her, "Accompanying me to do business may be more dangerous."
Qiao Ying: "I believe Mr. Qin can protect me well."
Qin Hanyue nodded: "That's natural."
After breakfast, when Qiao Ying went back to her room to go to the bathroom, Qin Yan hurriedly asked, "Third Master, are you taking Miss Qiao back to headquarters?"
Qin Yan wanted to remind Qin Hanyue that he had said last night that it was a scenic spot.
Qin Hanyue: "Notify the other party that the meeting place has been changed to their turf. Get ready, we'll go over."
As soon as Qin Yan heard this, he was shocked: "Third Master, this won't work, it's too risky."
Qin Hanyue: "Miss Qiao wants to come along, it's not convenient to take her to headquarters." Qin Hanyue vaguely guessed why Qiao Ying was sticking to him and what her purpose was.
"With Miss Qiao coming along, you have to be more careful and prudent. If anything happens to you..."
Qin Hanyue's voice deepened: "You talk too much."
After one night, there were obviously more people around Qin Hanyue than last night, with dozens of luxury cars carrying sixty or seventy people.
There must be more in the shadows.
Qiao Ying stood at the entrance of the hotel, imperceptibly looking around. She saw Yi Saisi's gang had followed them down and was standing in the hotel lobby staring at her.
Sure enough, after getting into the car, the familiar truck reappeared in the rearview mirror.
Qiao Ying said to herself: What a persistent bastard.
She should have just sent them to the West last night when she got up.
Qiao Ying's gaze then turned to the man beside her.
Yi Saisi's people still didn't dare make a move. They just dared to follow behind, apparently intimidated by Qin Hanyue.
This man surnamed Qin, what's his background?
Noticing Qiao Ying's gaze, Qin Hanyue asked, "Is there something on my face?"
Qiao Ying: "No, just looking at how handsome you are."
Qin Hanyue gave a wry smile: "Thank you."
The car drove southeast for more than two hours. The prosperous streets slowly became desolate, the tall buildings turned into small houses, and the environment became worse. There were scattered soldiers everywhere, standing still and looking coldly at their convoy passing by.
Soon, a stockade appeared before their eyes. The stockade was not very large in scale, but nestled against the mountains and waters, giving a feeling of seclusion.
The scenery was quite nice.
It's just that the weapons in those people's hands and the large pools of blood on the roadside that hadn't been cleaned up were a bit of an eyesore.
The convoy was stopped by the guards at the gate.
"If you're afraid, you can wait for me in the car," Qin Hanyue said to Qiao Ying.
"No need, I'll go with Mr. Qin."
Qiao Ying got out of the car after him.
The guards came up and demanded a body search in the local language.
Qin Yan first looked at Qiao Ying, then at Qin Hanyue.
Seeing that Qin Hanyue didn't say anything, Qin Yan let them search.
Then Qiao Ying saw them take a Desert Eagle from Qin Yan's body, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: Not bad, Qin Hanyue is quite generous to provide such a good gun for his subordinates.
After searching Qin Yan, those people turned their eyes to Qin Hanyue. But when they received Qin Hanyue's cold and dangerous glare, they had to reluctantly turn their eyes to Qiao Ying.
The result was the same.
So they had to skip over again, thinking that even if a little girl had a weapon, it wouldn't pose much of a threat.
Qin Yan took more than a dozen subordinates who were best at martial arts to follow Qin Hanyue into the stockade, while the rest stayed outside.
The stockade was made of wood, with two floors. After walking in, it was discovered that there was also an open-air balcony inside.
And the person who was going to "talk business" with Qin Hanyue was already waiting on the balcony with tea brewed.
"Mr. Qin, welcome, welcome."
Yi Saisi pushed away the sexy woman in his arms, took the cigarette from his mouth and stood up, enthusiastically reaching out to Qin Hanyue with both hands.
This man was wearing a floral shirt and shorts, a pair of slippers, and a long scar that split his left eye in two.
This familiar scar...
Qiao Ying raised her eyebrows: Nice, another familiar face.
Qin Hanyue didn't shake hands with the other party. He had seen that both of the man's hands weren't idle on the woman earlier when he came in.
Yi Saisi didn't mind either. He clamped the cigarette in his mouth and invited Qin Hanyue to sit down.
Then he noticed the student-looking Qiao Ying. Before Yi Saisi could say anything, he saw Qin Hanyue sit down and pat the seat next to him, saying to the girl, "Sit here."
So Qiao Ying sat down too.
Seeing this, Yi Saisi's gaze turned cunningly over Qiao Ying's body twice. Then he flattered Qin Hanyue in fluent native Philippine language, occasionally mixing in some English: "Mr. Qin likes young student girls? I have sources. Just tell me how many you want Mr. Qin, and I'll send them to you right away."
Qin Hanyue's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Realizing he had said the wrong thing, Yi Saisi quickly smiled apologetically and changed the subject: "Let me introduce myself first..."
Yi Saisi talked on while brewing tea for Qin Hanyue himself, saying in clumsy Mandarin: "I know you Chinese people like to drink tea. I prepared it especially for Mr. Qin. Try it."
He didn't forget to pour a cup for Qiao Ying who was playing on her phone.
Qin Hanyue lowered his eyes to look at the hot tea in the cup and said in fluent Philippine language: "I'm picky about what I put in my mouth. I can't drink tea from outside."
"Mr. Qin speaks Tagalog very well!" Yi Saisi put down the teapot and took a puff of his cigarette.
"In that case, I won't beat around the bush either. I just came to M State recently and didn't understand the rules. I caused trouble for Mr. Qin. Let me make up for it." As he spoke, Yi Saisi clapped his hands.
Then Yi Saisi's men brought in seven or eight wooden boxes. When opened, they were full of guns and ammunition.
Qiao Ying couldn't help but glance sideways at this.
"Since I want to gain a foothold in M State, I naturally have to show my sincerity. As long as Mr. Qin nods, from now on every month Mr. Qin will see my sincerity. Don't worry Mr. Qin, I'll keep to the rules here." As Yi Saisi spoke, he hugged two women in his arms again.
He had an arrogant attitude full of confidence.
Qin Hanyue crossed his long legs and pressed his interlaced fingers. He lowered his eyes to look at his hands and said lightly: "On the 6th, my goods, did you grab them?"
Qin Hanyue slowly raised his eyes to look at Yi Saisi across from him.
