An hour later, Qin Chuan stood up and politely declined Hai Kuisheng's enthusiastic invitation to dinner, then left Kaiyue Used Cars.
Watching Qin Chuan and his group depart, Li Cheng walked to Hai Kuisheng's side in the car dealership and whispered, "Master Hai, should we send some men to follow them?"
Hai Kuisheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking out the glass window. He turned around and his small eyes glinted sharply. "What do you think?"
Li Cheng felt as if he were being stared at by a giant python. A chill ran down his spine. He quickly waved his hand, and two staff members from the dealership, who were Hai Kuisheng's henchmen specializing in such matters, quickly left.
"Boss, where are we going now?" asked Chen Jinyu, who was driving the Tiger Head Benz.
"My second brother said his car dealership is around here. Let's go take a look," Qin Chuan replied from the back seat, tapping his fingers on the leather seat. "I remember he told me the location. It's at number one hundred twenty-three in the southeast district, right?"
"Yes, that's the place," Chen Jinyu immediately turned the steering wheel.
"Xiaoguang, call my eldest brother and see how the surveillance on Ma Xiaolian is going," Qin Chuan said to Bai Xiaoguang.
Bai Xiaoguang immediately took out his phone and started making a call. "Boss, Brother Yang and the others are still watching. Ma Xiaolian hasn't come out since she entered the bank."
Qin Chuan nodded, indicating he understood. Just then, Bai Xiaoguang spoke up, "Boss, it looks like we have tails!"
Qin Chuan sneered. "As expected, the Hai family is not to be trifled with. What legitimate businessman would resort to such despicable acts on a first meeting?"
"Let's pretend we're just looking around this market. Don't stop when we pass my second brother's car dealership."
Chen Jinyu acknowledged with a hum.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the car dealership at number one hundred twenty-three. It was called Longxing Used Cars. It was a large, two-story building with a good location, meaning the annual rent was not a small sum. Anyone who could afford a dealership of this scale was undoubtedly successful, if not prosperous. With proper management, they could earn a lot of money in a few years, get married, have children, and live a fulfilling life.
Unfortunately, this large dealership was now sealed with white tape. The interior was empty, all the cars had been taken away, the glass was incredibly dirty, and trash was piled up at the entrance. A gust of wind blew, kicking up dust, making the already murky glass doors and windows even more indistinct.
Sitting in the car, Qin Chuan quietly looked through the window at the place that held his second brother's dreams. His expression was complex, gradually giving way to hatred. He would not let the person who defrauded Qin Gang go unpunished. As long as he found them, he would make them pay back double what they had taken.
The Tiger Head Benz, under the pretense of sightseeing, drove past Qin Gang's Longxing Car Dealership. After leaving the market, Qin Chuan directly told the car to stop.
"Xiaoguang, go and greet them!" Qin Chuan said. Letting them follow was too disgusting and prevented them from doing anything.
Bai Xiaoguang's face immediately showed an excited, ferocious expression. He pushed open the car door and got out. Behind them, the pursuing car was a Wrangler with two men inside. Seeing Bai Xiaoguang get out and walk directly towards their vehicle, their faces changed. Damn, the other party had clearly discovered them long ago.
As expected, Bai Xiaoguang walked up to their car, grinned, and tapped on the car window. Seeing this, the occupants could only roll down the window and pretend to be calm and assertive. "What are you doing, buddy?"
"What the hell do you think I'm doing! Damn it!"
"I've seen you in the car dealership. My boss said if I catch you doing this again, I'll break all three of your legs!" As he spoke, Bai Xiaoguang punched the rear window of their car.
Crack! The glass immediately shattered into pieces, scattering everywhere. The two men shivered in fear and watched as Bai Xiaoguang swaggered away.
"What do we do?" one of them asked in panic.
"Idiot, of course, we call Brother Cheng immediately!" The driver slapped his companion and then took out his phone to report the incident.
On the other end of the line, Li Cheng immediately reported to Master Hai after hearing the news. Then, a message came back, telling them to return.
"This is a formidable outsider," Hai Kuisheng murmured to himself in the Kaiyue Used Cars dealership. "No wonder they're so arrogant. We are businessmen, and our primary goal is to make money. Since the other party is a formidable outsider, we shouldn't act rashly for now."
"Let's observe first!" Li Cheng, standing by his side, listened cautiously. "However, we must investigate who they are. Let me think... do I have any friends in Jin Province..."
Meanwhile, Qin Chuan and his group, having shaken off the annoying flies, continued on their way and soon met up with Qin Yang, Qin Gang, and Hong Jinlong. Qin Yang and the other two were specifically assigned to watch outside the market because Qin Gang's identity was too sensitive, and the Tianlong Market was full of Hai Kuisheng's informants.
"Is Ma Xiaolian still inside the bank? How long has she been in there?" Qin Chuan asked.
"She's been in there for almost two hours. We've been waiting here, and her car is still there!" Qin Yang replied.
Qin Chuan glanced at his watch. It was almost 5:30 PM, and the bank was about to close.
"Look, Ma Xiaolian is coming out!" Hong Jinlong suddenly shouted.
Everyone quickly turned their attention to the bank entrance and saw Ma Xiaolian's graceful figure emerge from the main door. This woman, perhaps a bit flirtatious, undoubtedly possessed certain assets. She was hot and sexy and knew how to dress, making her a very suitable bed partner in the eyes of many men.
Under the gaze of Qin Chuan and his group, Ma Xiaolian walked out of the bank, took out her phone, and made a call. After saying something, she laughed charmingly, drawing frequent glances from the men on the street.
"You guys wait here. We're going over!" Qin Chuan said decisively.
The Tiger Head Benz started and quickly drove towards Ma Xiaolian's location.
At the bank entrance, Ma Xiaolian had just finished her call and was about to drive away when a luxurious Tiger Head Benz suddenly stopped in front of her. Ma Xiaolian recognized the luxury car and felt she had seen it somewhere before.
At that moment, the car door opened, and Bai Xiaoguang jumped out first. He respectfully opened the rear door, revealing Qin Chuan sitting inside.
"Miss Ma, what a coincidence!" Qin Chuan said with a smile from inside the car.
"You are..." Ma Xiaolian looked at the heroic and handsome young man in the car, then carefully scanned the luxurious Tiger Head Benz in front of her. She remembered seeing this young man at her car dealership before. His incredibly handsome face had left a deep impression on her at the time.
"We met at the car dealership!" Qin Chuan said with a smile, exuding a gentle, jade-like demeanor and the air of a wealthy young master. "Miss Ma, meeting is fate. It's also the end of the workday. How about we go for a casual meal?"
"And I'd like to ask Miss Ma to be our guide and show us the famous scenery of the Qinhuai River!" Qin Chuan extended his invitation.
Ma Xiaolian looked hesitant. Qin Chuan didn't rush, patiently watching her. In the end, Ma Xiaolian couldn't resist the temptation. Both Qin Chuan's outstanding looks and temperament, as well as the luxurious car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars beneath him, were irresistible to women.
"Then I'll make a call first!" Ma Xiaolian said after a few seconds of hesitation. Qin Chuan nodded with a smile, indicating that it was not a problem.
