The Supreme Beauty Fell in Love with Me

The Northeast Tiger is at most worth tens of millions, not even reaching a billion. And Qin Dalei is already worth several billions.

Qin Dalei has bought a villa in Hawaii, and spends most of his year there. Occasionally, he would return to the Wuhan headquarters for a visit. Each time after returning to Wuhan, he would take a short stay in Jiangbei City.

And now, in late August, Qin Dalei made his way back to Jiangbei City.

The momentum of Qin Dalei's return to Jiangbei City was substantial, the company staff had long been informed that Mr. Qin was coming back to the country, and so his vehicle was air freighted from overseas. Moreover, a flatbed truck was sent to Wuhan; wherever Qin Dalei went, his Rolls-Royce was sure to follow. As for those hefty freight charges, they were simply negligible.

Many notables from Jiangbei City went to the airport to welcome Qin Dalei's return. Among them, Song Ming was conspicuously present.

The relationship between Qin Dalei and Song Ming was very good; they had known each other for many years. Song Ming had helped Qin Dalei a lot, it can be said that without Song Ming, there would be no Qin Dalei today.

At the airport, Qin Dalei's chartered plane slowly descended, the cabin door opened, and a man wearing an Armani shirt stepped out from inside, his lower body clad in black trousers and a pair of shiny leather shoes. Resting on the bridge of his nose was a pair of water-blue sunglasses.

Rustle rustle...

Dozens of officials began to applaud.

Qin Dalei spotted Song Ming standing at the forefront in one glance.

That glance revealed that Song Ming seemed much older, similar in age to him, yet seeming to have aged a decade more. Qin Dalei quickly approached, shaking Song Ming's hand excitedly, "Old Song, long time no see. You...you seem to have aged quite a bit all of a sudden?"

"Sigh…" Song Ming sighed, saying, "You've finally come back."

"Haha, yes!" Qin Dalei nodded, and said, "It seems I haven't been back for over two years, and I didn't expect Jiangbei City to change so much in such a short time."

"Indeed!" Song Ming nodded, then said, "The Jiangbei City of today has truly changed beyond recognition."

"Oh?" Qin Dalei was taken aback and curiously asked, "What's the matter? From what you're saying, it looks like you've had a rough time these years."

"Mr. Qin." Xiao Li on the side hurriedly came over and said, "Our Secretary Song has indeed been having a hard time recently. If you could help, please help our Secretary Song."

"What situation?" Qin Dalei asked curiously.

"Let's… let's talk in the car." Song Ming smiled helplessly and said, "The wind is strong at the airport; we can't let Mr. Qin be out in the wind."

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Li nodded quickly.

After that, Qin Dalei and his entourage got into the car.

Once inside the car, Qin Dalei began to take concern in Song Ming's affairs eagerly asking, "Old Song, just tell me, what exactly happened? From what your secretary says, it seems like you've had quite a tough time?"

"Sigh… It's a long story." Song Ming spoke helplessly.

"Xiao Li, you tell it." Qin Dalei said urgently.

Xiao Li immediately nodded, then began, "This is indeed a long story; it all started from a year ago..."

Xiao Li narrated the events vividly and in detail to Qin Dalei. After listening, Qin Dalei asked anxiously, "So you're saying this person is really that formidable? He alone caused such unrest in Jiangbei City? He drove away Feng Taibao and even killed the Northeast Tiger? That's just too incredible, right?"

"Indeed, it's true." Xiao Li nodded and said, "But the most important thing isn't this; the most crucial point is, this Lin Chuan killed Secretary Song's son."

Clang...

Suddenly, the teacup Qin Dalei was holding fell to the ground. He looked at Song Ming in shock and urgently asked, "Old Song, is… is this true?"

"Yes, it is!" Song Ming nodded.

"Outrageous!" Qin Dalei roared in anger, "Is there such an audacious criminal? Can't the law deal with him?"

"This kid has some serious backing!" Xiao Li quickly interjected.

"What kind of backing?" Qin Dalei asked urgently.

"It is said he has a military background." Xiao Li revealed, "In any case, this kid has major connections, and although Secretary Song wants revenge, clearly his position isn't strong enough to contest with the other party's background. Sigh…"

"If we can't contend with him head-on, then we should consider other methods." Qin Dalei asked, "For example, seeking help from the underground forces?"

"Alas, Lin Chuan is a formidable force." Secretary Song sighed heavily before he said, "Your average person is no match for him. So, getting rid of him is going to be tough."

"Old Song, if you truly want to eliminate someone, it's actually quite simple. Do you have any reservations?" Qin Dalei inquired.

"What reservations could I possibly have?" Song Ming sneered then said, "I can even give up my official position if it meant avenging my son. I'm willing to pay any price for that!"

When he spoke passionately, Song Ming almost leaped up. His tone was agitated, and his face was fierce.

Qin Dalei sneered, "Alright, since that's the case, leave this matter to me. How dare Lin Chuan be so arrogant. My nephew Song Hao used to call me uncle, and I, as his uncle, can't just let this child die in vain."

"Dalei, you really shouldn't get involved in this," Song Ming said, holding Qin Dalei's hand. "Don't get yourself wrapped up in this because of my matters."

"Lin Chuan doesn't really have that much clout," Qin Dalei snorted, then said, "Old Song, don't worry about it. I know my own strength. Isn't it more than enough to deal with some little gang or faction that has just risen in the past year?"

"This..." Song Ming didn't know what to say, so he simply said, "If that's the case, then I am deeply thankful, brother."

Qin Dalei returned to the Qin Han Restaurant, where the staff welcomed him with open arms.

Song Ming was also in the restaurant, dining with Qin Dalei. They ate until nightfall, after which Song Ming headed home slightly drunk. Qin Dalei stayed in a luxurious suite at the restaurant.

At home, two men in black suits stood earnestly in the room.

Qin Dalei was seated on the couch, with a prized Cuban cigar in his mouth. He asked coldly, "What's the deal with Lin Chuan, exactly?"

"Mr. Qin, this..." One of the men in black began, "I think there's no need for us to provoke Lin Chuan just because of Song Ming. After all, we no longer have to rely on Song Ming. So..."

"**************." Qin Dalei snorted coldly, "No matter what, Song Ming has helped us a lot in the past. Now that he has fallen to such a state, can't we lend a hand?"

"But it's said in the underworld that this Lin Chuan has an impressive background," the man hesitantly said.

"Is there any evidence to support that?" Qin Dalei asked, "Is it all just hearsay, with no one ever verifying it?"

"There really isn't," the man quickly shook his head.

Qin Dalei furrowed his brow, "What exactly is going on?"

The man said helplessly, "I don't know what's happening either. As of now, it seems that nobody really knows Lin Chuan's background, there are only rumors of military connections. That day in court, Lin Chuan was taken away by the military. That's why Song Ming was so helpless."

"Just military connections?" Qin Dalei asked curiously.

The two men could not provide an answer.

"Hasn't anyone investigated?" Qin Dalei asked with perplexity.

"It seems that all investigations end up being unresolved," the man in a black suit said helplessly. "You might not be aware, but it seems there is an intention from higher-ups to suppress this news. So..."

"Such a thing is happening?" Qin Dalei frowned.

"Exactly," the man in the suit immediately nodded.

After thinking a bit, Qin Dalei said, "It looks like I need to think this through properly. I should make a call to someone higher-up and test the waters."

Following that, Qin Dalei started making several phone calls. The first call was to Song Jianguo. Song Jianguo had a decent relationship with Qin Dalei, having contributed to Qin Dalei's success. However, as soon as Song Jianguo heard about the matter, he started beating around the bush, claiming ignorance and a lack of understanding regarding Lin Chuan. At first, Qin Dalei was quite trusting, but after hanging up, he found it strange. As the **** of Jiang Province, with such a significant incident taking place in Jiangbei City within his jurisdiction, how could Song Jianguo be unaware?

Therefore, Qin Dalei immediately called someone even higher up. Being a name on the Hurun Rich List, he had some connections at higher levels.

However, to Qin Dalei's disappointment, the other party was also evasive upon hearing that it was about this matter, revealing no information whatsoever.

This puzzled Qin Dalei, whether it was because Lin Chuan's background was too weak, so weak that the higher authorities looked down on it, or because Lin Chuan's background was actually too strong, so strong that even the higher authorities dared not speak out.

After a long thought, Qin Dalei preferred to believe in the former. If it were the latter, how could Song Ming possibly confront Lin Chuan? And how could Song Hao dare to lay hands on Lin Chuan's mother? Therefore, after much thought, Qin Dalei immediately made the first serious misjudgment of his life. He concluded that Lin Chuan must belong to the former. Otherwise, why would central officials remain tight-lipped about the matter?
