"Boss, are we really just leaving like this?"
Outside the police station compound, Qin Chuan had reached where the Santana was parked. He opened the car door, seeing that they were indeed about to leave. Yao Dong finally couldn't help but ask.
Qin Chuan turned around, looked at Yao Dong, whose face was filled with anger and unwillingness, and grinned, "What else can we do if we don't leave?"
"If we fight Zhang Wenbo and them for Feng Lei, setting aside the fact that it's just the two of us, outnumbered and outmatched, and we can't defeat so many ruffians, even if we could, does that Feng Lei even deserve it?"
Yao Dong was immediately speechless. Feng Lei truly didn't deserve it. Such a person who betrays trust for petty gains, he would beat him every time he saw him in the future.
Besides, what Qin Chuan said was also the truth.
With Zhang Wenbo's group so large, and their own people already gone, the two of them couldn't possibly defeat so many people.
Yao Dong understood that this was indeed the reality, but he was still very unwilling to just leave!
Han Shifei was clearly going to jail, yet in the end, it was overturned?
"Yao Dong, do you really think Han Shifei could have gone to jail for just such a small matter this time?"
As if seeing Yao Dong's thoughts, Qin Chuan suddenly asked.
Yao Dong was immediately stunned, not knowing what to do, and mumbled, "If not jail, then what else?"
"Hahaha!!"
Qin Chuan looked at Yao Dong's bewildered expression and couldn't help but laugh, "You're thinking too simply. Believe it or not, even if Feng Lei hadn't betrayed us, Han Shifei wouldn't have gone to jail this time!"
Yao Dong became even more confused, shaking his head in disbelief.
"Let's go, get in the car first! I'll explain everything to you together when we see Sister Li Ya."
Qin Chuan patted Yao Dong's shoulder and got into the car first.
The Santana started, and about twenty minutes later, they arrived at the entrance of a branch store of Jin Die Apparel.
It was already past three in the afternoon, but through the glass windows, they could still see the store bustling with people, a scene of busy activity, and the business was excellent.
This was Yao Dong's first time here. When he saw the familiar logo of Jin Die Apparel, he was so shocked he rubbed his eyes, "Boss, this... this is..."
"That's right, this is a branch of Jin Die Apparel. It only opened yesterday!"
Qin Chuan explained with a smile.
The two walked into the store. Li Ya, who was attending to customers, saw them enter. She called an employee to take her place, and then hurried over.
Qin Chuan said nothing and went to the lounge on the second floor. This was the men's section, and there were relatively fewer customers.
"Xiao Chuan, how did things go?"
After arriving at the lounge, Li Ya asked with concern.
"Sister, Feng Lei was bought off by them. Han Shifei probably won't go to jail this time!"
Qin Chuan said.
"How could this be?"
As expected, Li Ya was very surprised, her face full of disbelief.
Yao Dong also had a gloomy expression, still unable to accept this fact.
On the contrary, Qin Chuan was very calm. He even casually picked up an apple from the fruit platter and took a big bite.
"Xiao Chuan, how can you still be in the mood to eat?"
Li Ya was somewhat speechless, especially noticing Qin Chuan's extremely calm demeanor. His self-control was too strong.
Suddenly, her beautiful eyes moved, as if she thought of something, and she stared intently into Qin Chuan's eyes, "Xiao Chuan, you're not going to tell me you already predicted this outcome, are you?"
"It wouldn't be considered early. I actually guessed today's outcome last night!"
Qin Chuan said slowly.
"What do you mean?"
Li Ya and Yao Dong were both full of curiosity.
"Sister, do you remember when I received a phone call while we were eating last night?"
Qin Chuan asked.
"You get so many calls all day, who would pay attention?"
Li Ya pouted.
Qin Chuan chuckled. That was indeed true. He had so many people working under him now, and his network was gradually spread throughout the county. It was normal for his phone to be busy, so who would pay attention to a single call?
"The call last night was extraordinary. The person who called me was Director Shang!"
Qin Chuan explained, "He told me that just yesterday afternoon, Han Shifei's most loyal old dog, Zhang Wenbo, found him and took thirty thousand yuan!"
"Thirty thousand, so much?"
Li Ya and Yao Dong were both startled by the amount.
"Yes, it was thirty thousand!"
Qin Chuan said gravely, "When Director Shang called me, I already guessed that Han Shifei would have a hard time going to jail!"
"In Ning County, Han Shifei might not have much power or many connections, but he has money!"
"Since ancient times, money can make the devil push the millstone. With enough financial benefits, many things can be overturned! Connections can also be opened!"
Li Ya was very smart and understood immediately, "You mean, Han Shifei and them used these thirty thousand yuan to smooth things over..."
"It's highly likely, it shouldn't be wrong!"
Qin Chuan nodded, and then a hint of helplessness finally appeared on his calm face, "In terms of financial strength, we are indeed far behind Han Shifei. Moreover, Ning County is not our territory, so we are truly helpless."
This was the reality, an insurmountable gap.
Han Shifei had accumulated wealth over so many years, and his fortune was definitely not something Qin Chuan could compare to at the moment. Let alone thirty thousand, he could probably easily come up with three million.
As for Qin Chuan, the two million borrowed in the early stages had been spent on workers' wages, construction materials, opening the supermarket, and his extravagant daily expenses. Not much was left.
Compared to Han Shifei in this regard, he was truly helpless against him.
After hearing this outcome, Li Ya and Yao Dong both showed a hint of bitterness.
"Don't be like this. Actually, we already won this time!"
Noticing their expressions, Qin Chuan comforted them.
"Think about it, Han Shifei might get out, but that bald guy and his subordinates definitely won't!"
"In Ning County, they absolutely won't let everyone go!"
"Besides, although Han Shifei didn't go to jail, he was detained for nearly a week, right? The hardships he endured during this time, and the thirty thousand yuan he spent for himself!"
"Such a huge price, doesn't it mean we already won?"
Yao Dong mumbled, "It seems to make sense!"
Li Ya's originally dejected face regained its radiance, but soon, she showed concern again, "Although that's what you say, once Han Shifei gets out this time, with the old and new grudges combined, he will definitely try his best to retaliate against us."
"This time, we have completely offended this old bastard to death!"
"Xiao Chuan, we must prepare our defensive strategy in advance!"
"Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand Han Shifei's crazy retaliation this time!"
Qin Chuan hummed, "Han Shifei will definitely retaliate when he gets out this time. For now, I haven't thought of any good solutions."
"We can only respond to changes with constancy, meeting force with force!"
Yao Dong suddenly stood up, radiating an imposing aura, and said fiercely, "Who is he to scare us? If this bastard dares to go too far, I'll go alone and kill him!"
