Chapter 57: Against heaven and earth (16)
My internet is still dead so I had to type this all out on my phone
Ren Zhu looked at young master Qin who was first silent, then gloomy, and finally twirling on the spot with anger like a volcano about to erupt. Ren Zhu’s annoyed mood caused by the pompous magician filled with holes actually became a lot better.
After all, no matter what kind of mood he had, when there was someone worse to compare to, it would always seem a little better.
“Alright, the next time you find him, just cover him with a sack. It’s not worth being angry because of him.” Teacher Ren’s comfort was not the least bit thoughtful.
Young master Qin gloomily thought about it and nodded: “You’re right. It’s not worth being angry over him.” Today, Laozi will find people to cover him with a sack. If he isn’t beaten half to death, then Laozi’s surname isn’t Qin.
Ren Zhu smiled: “If you find out his identity, please tell me about it. I think that he might have intentionally approached Zhao An An and the other girls.”
Qin Cong heard this and directly nodded: “Don’t worry. I will show you the photo of him covered with a sack. Let’s go eat afternoon tea? This resort hotel’s char-grilled oysters are pretty good.”
Thinking of the delicious food, Ren Zhu decided to follow Qin Cong to eat.
At this moment however, the mood of Zhao An An, Wang Jie Er and Li Jia Xin’s three families was very bad. Their mothers sat together, their eyes red as they worried over their daughters while cursing the three arrested servers. Their fathers and uncles all glanced at each other, thinking that this matter wasn’t so simple.
“I think they were specifically targeting us. They must have wanted to harm our daughters and then control them with drugs.”
“That is the biggest possibility, but I really don’t understand. Since they wanted to harm the people in our families, why didn’t they pick someone else instead of An An and the others? They are only a few children, how could they possibly destabilise our foundations?! Isn’t this a little too deranged?!”
“If they could be understood by others, then just take them as crazy psychopaths.” Li Jia Xin’s uncle sneered: “Since they had no method to deal with adults, they decided to harm our precious pearls, making us angry but also unable to do anything about it.”
“This is really too much! Investigate! No matter what, we must find out who is behind this! This time, if it were not for that teacher and young master Qin, then our girls would probably be ruined. After all, that kind of new drug is very easy for people to get addicted to. Fortunately, An An and the others were found in time.” Zhao An An’s father was extremely angry. Their entire Zhao family had just this one daughter. They loved and doted on her like she was a treasure. As a result, their darling girl was almost coerced by someone to become addicted to drugs! How could anyone tolerate this!

Whatever the case, it was them who saved our three daughters. Their statuses are also pretty high.” Wang Jie Er’s father said. He primarily still felt that they should take advantage of this occasion to become acquainted with young master Qin. After all, this person was the big boss of the food and beverage, medical treatment, high tech devices and real estate industries. His future was boundless.
The other two people immediately nodded. If they passed on such a good opportunity, then they were really fools. However, it seemed like that Teacher Ren has a very good relationship with young master Qin. That teacher himself also had some skills. They already knew everything that happened and how Teacher Ren had taught Zhao An An and the other girls a lesson. Although they were a little distressed that their families’ little princesses were given such a teaching, they couldn’t help but admit that this teacher’s three views and virtues were very upright. In addition, his educated knowledge was also very good. This kind of person, although he wasn’t a diamond bachelor, he also couldn’t be offended. After all, with such big capabilities in education, he would absolutely be very formidable in the future.
Consequently, Ren Zhu received a visit from the head butlers of the Zhao, Wang and Li three families at night. The three head butlers were all old handsome men who wore sophisticated clothing and spoke in a very refined manner that made people feel comfortable. After they delivered each family’s gift and expressed their gratitude, they left. Even with his bountiful knowledge reserve, Ren Zhu still felt that he seemed to be unable to hold his own against these three head butlers. Teacher Ren finally let out a sigh of relief after they left. Sure enough, compared with these old sophisticated and experienced men, his eloquence still needs to be tempered!
However, the gifts that the three Zhao Wang Li families had sent him truly made Ren Zhu a little shocked —– as though they had already discussed it, each of the three families gave him a black bank card. The passwords were directly written on the back of each card. Just from the appearance of these cards, Ren Zhu knew that the amount on them wasn’t little.
It was a pity that Teacher Ren wasn’t moved by these three cards at all. The only feeling he had was that sure enough, this was a world that revolved around money. Since his side was already like this, then on Qin Cong’s side, it must be that the members of the three families would directly pay a visit?
Ren Zhu’s guess was absolutely correct. The second heir of the three Zhao, Wang and Li families all personally paid a visit to young master Qin, borrowing their daughter’s incident to form a relationship with him. However, they had thought ahead of themselves. Just when they had expressed their gratitude, young master Qin impatiently stated: “This has nothing to do with me. Ah Zhu handled everything. After all, those three girls are Ah Zhu’s students and also Xiao Shu’s classmates. You guys don’t need to thank me, go thank Ah Zhu.”
The three of them quickly said that they had already sent their butlers to go and express their gratitude. Afterwards…… there was no afterwards.
When the three people came out, they were still in a daze. They completely couldn’t understand how the conversation had suddenly been cut off?! They had still wanted to say a few more words to form a relationship and then talk about business!!
After they left, young master Qin leaned back on his sofa and sneered: “Bang Da ah, those people who have their desires written on their faces are really stupid and transparent, am I right?”
The tall person beside him didn’t answer.
Young master Qin turned around and glowered at him. “I’m asking you a question!”
“Boss, I am Yao Yuan. Bang Da and I look different.”
“Pei! At this moment, you should have just answered yes! With your kind of IQ, you should just follow along with what I say. Otherwise, if you go out to beg, probably no one would give you money!” Young master Qin angrily said.
Yao Yuan silently thought: I don’t need to beg, I can do manual labour ah. I’ll make a lot more from manual labour than begging. Clearly, his boss’ brain sometimes didn’t work well.
The speed of the Zhao, Wang and Li families was pretty fast. After a week, Ren Zhu heard that they had already found the person behind the incident. It turned out to be the rival of their three families. For this reason, the three families led a price war in the clothing industry as a means of revenge.
But Ren Zhu clearly knew that they didn’t find the core of this incident. Zhao An An’s group of three as well as Zhang Hai Tao’s incidents were both planned by the organisation. That organisation has a laughable chuuni-like ambition, but carefully thinking about it, Ren Zhu felt that it was no laughing matter. A chuuni with no capabilities would at most be a source of laughter for everyone. However, a chuuni who has an organisation, has a plan, has manpower, and also has brains and skills, might be able to achieve their ambition.
Don’t mention anything else, this kind of destructive power was huge. Just take a look at that chuuni Qin Cong.
The other day, that magician had left behind quite a lot of information. Besides knowing that that group of chuunis had a terrifying plan to ‘control the children of rich and powerful families to control the entire high society in the future’, he was certain that the organisation had some blackmail material about him or something related to his life in their hands.
So, Ren Zhu immediately booked an appointment with a medical specialist to have a full body examination.
The result made his heart sink.
“Are you certain?”
That middle aged doctor who was disguised in such-and-such restaurant’s chef clothes gravely said: “Every time the detector reaches your heart, it would have a reaction. I am certain that there’s something in your heart. However, it’s impossible that this object is something like a stent or for support. Instead, it’s very much like…… a miniature bomb.”
When he said the last few words, the doctor’s expression was very strange: “Do you want to report it?” It was also the first time he had encountered this kind of situation. Even if he used his toes to think, he knew that it was impossible for someone to crazily install a bomb in their own heart. Then, the only possibility was that someone did this to him.
Ren Zhu shook his head and seriously said to the puzzled doctor: “Please help me keep this a secret. I am now undercover and in the middle of investigating a very powerful organisation. This is their method of controlling me. I previously had no problems with it, but a few days ago, I suddenly started to feel unwell so I wanted to check it out.”
That middle aged doctor instantly felt great respect for Ren Zhu: “Rest assured! I definitely won’t mention a word! Ai, it’s really because of people like you that our country can be so glorious and flourishing! Young lad, jiayou!!”
Ren Zhu’s mouth twitched: “En, I will. You can put on your disguise and leave.”
The middle aged man solemnly nodded and then left after putting in his chef’s attire.
As soon as the middle aged doctor left, Qin Cong’s call came through: “Ah Zhu! What did you want to eat that made you hire a chef?! I have all kinds of chefs here for you to choose from! No matter if it’s spicy, savoury, sweet, seafood or fine desserts, so long as you name it, I will immediately send someone to your house to cook for you! If you don’t want that, then you can also come to my house to eat ah. Anyway, our houses are just a few steps apart.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYoung master Qin silently added another sentence in his heart. In any case, we are one family. There’s no need to divide the pan.
Ren Zhu rolled his eyes.
As expected, this guy found someone to watch over his house every day. However, it at least also gave him a sense of security.
“En. Next time, I’ll directly go to your house to eat.” Ren Zhu nodded: “Have you covered that magician with a sack?”
When Ren Zhu mentioned this, Qin Cong’s expression slightly changed, but his tone remained the same: “Ai, that magician has some skills. Perhaps he knew that he would be covered with a sack? In any case, I had people thoroughly investigate the hotel but still couldn’t find him. We also couldn’t find him in the monitors. He’s just like a ghost. However, even if he’s crafty, he also won’t be able to escape from Laozi’s personnel. Just you wait. Within ten days, I will definitely find him and cover him with a sack!”
Speaking to the end, Qin Cong sounded like he ran out of breath. Ren Zhu smiled. He wanted this kind of effect. He could assume that that person must be hard-pressed right now. To be focused on by that young master Qin who never gives up before obtaining his goal, it should be enough for the organisation to drink a pot full.
However, looking at the phone in his hand, a trace of darkness flashed through his eyes. Qin Cong was not a fool. If he let him continue to investigate, then even his past background might be discovered. When that time comes, what would Qin Cong do?
Teacher Ren smiled and didn’t think much about it. He closed his phone and went to sleep. However, in the villa next door, young master Qin felt very complicated.
“Young master, through all the data we have collected, we can already confirm that that magician is called Qu Long. He is the Qu family’s third young master. According to your instructions, we have also investigated Qu Long’s movements over the past few years as well as the people he had been in contact with. We have discovered something very strange.”
Qin Cong’s expression was calm: “Say it.”
“He was originally introverted and had violent tendencies. However, starting from three years ago, after he came in touch with a psychologist, his entire being seemed to have become like a youth radiating with sunshine. His change in these three years was very big. His status in his family also rose a lot. In addition, he likes children very much, which was the reason why he learnt magic.” Assistant Zhu’s expression became a little strange: “He can always quickly mingle with children and then take them to go travelling with him.”
Qin Cong sneered when he heard this: “Swindler.” Liking children was no problem, but learning magic, easily mingling with children and also taking them out travelling, this was a standard method of approaching children. Couldn’t those families busy making money think a little more? However, Qu Long’s identity gave Qin Cong a big convenience.
“En, there really is a little problem.” Assistant Zhu said: “Altogether, he has taken more than 20 children out travelling. We asked around for information and found that after those children came back, they would all change a little. These changes should have made people skeptical, but the majority of the children were all those who were originally naughty and mischievous. Seeing that they suddenly became obedient, their families thought that their child had finally become sensible. And those that didn’t talk much to begin with spoke even less. A few of their nannies mentioned that after the children came back, they couldn’t sleep well for several nights and would always be roused awake.”
Qin Cong closed his eyes: “Continue to investigate. This definitely isn’t something that Qu Long can accomplish himself. Find all the people he has been in contact with and then investigate where he had regularly taken the children. Then…… be careful. This matter certainly isn’t simple.”
Assistant Zhu pushed up his glasses: “Rest assured.” He then turned around and left.
After he left, only then did Qin Cong look at the stack of materials on his table with Ren Zhu’s photo attached on top, his gaze deep and penetrating.
“…… Who exactly are you?”
