Chapter 121 No one dared to stop Qin Rushan's car
The jeep rumbled and turned onto a dirt road behind the county machinery factory. After a bumpy ride, it finally stopped at the gate of a large courtyard with a red brick wall.
The iron gate was rusty and half-closed.
Xu Yuecheng turned off the car, opened the door, and jumped out.
I'm not driving today; the other two brothers went home halfway through the journey.
Xu Yuecheng wiped the sweat from his face, pushed open the large iron gate, and went inside.
The weeds in the yard had just been cleared, and it looked fairly neat.
Right in the middle is a large factory building that hasn't been officially registered yet. That's their current headquarters, and it was also a secret warehouse where they traded in-demand goods on the black market in earlier years.
Before even entering the house, a strong smell of engine oil and tobacco hit you.
In the dimly lit warehouse, piles of woven bags were stacked neatly, with only a few beams of light shining down from the ventilation windows high up, illuminating the swirling dust.
A tall figure sat with his back to the door, on a stack of sacks full of white sugar.
The man, with an unlit cigarette between his fingers, was fiddling with an old bearing in his hand.
Hearing footsteps, the man didn't turn around, his hand spinning the bearing rapidly.
"You're back?" The voice was deep, carrying an imposing, unyielding authority.
Xu Yuecheng paused, then immediately broke into a smile. "Brother Qin? What brings you here today? I didn't hear anyone from below say you were coming to the city."
The one sitting on the sack was Qin Rushan.
He casually tossed the bearing aside, dusted off his trousers, and turned around.
"Since I've got nothing better to do, I might as well come over and take a look around."
Qin Rushan jumped off the sack with the lightness of a black panther. "There's been no activity for a while. I'm afraid this warehouse is going to rust."
Xu Yuecheng quickly took out his cigarette case, pulled out a cigarette and handed it over, then struck a match to light it for him.
"No way."
Xu Yuecheng lit one for himself, took a deep drag, and said with a wry smile, "I've still managed to transport a lot of goods, but the channels are getting narrower and narrower. Brother Qin, you don't know, lately I've only dared to wander around a few surrounding counties and cities, dealing in some daily necessities."
"What? You're afraid to go south?" Qin Rushan exhaled a smoke ring and raised an eyebrow.
"It's not that we don't dare, it's that there's no one else here."
Xu Yuecheng plopped down on the sack where Qin Rushan had just sat, and sighed, "Last time Gangzi and his crew went to Guangzhou, they almost lost their lives on the way back. The highwaymen there are getting more and more ruthless. Without a tough guy to back them up, it's one thing if the goods are intercepted, but if my brothers are killed, I won't be able to explain myself."
He was telling the truth.
These days, running long-haul freight is a business where you're risking your life.
Fortune and wealth are found in danger, but you also need to be alive to enjoy them.
Although Xu Yuecheng had some tricks up his sleeve, when it came to real fighting skills and ruthlessness, he was miles behind Qin Rushan, who had crawled out of a pile of corpses.
"How much stock is stuck in inventory?" Qin Rushan asked.
"Quite a few. In the past few days, several bosses have wanted us to deliver a large shipment to the provincial capital. They offered quite high prices, but I didn't dare to accept them." Xu Yuecheng said somewhat aggrievedly.
Qin Rushan remained silent for a while, the cigarette flickering between his fingers.
"I accepted it."
"Huh?" Xu Yuecheng was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard.
I said I answered.
Qin Rushan threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it out with his toe. "Tell those bosses we'll do this job. Also, get all the cars inspected, we'll leave in a couple of days."
Xu Yuecheng suddenly stood up, his eyes wide: "Brother Qin, you...you're going to do it yourself?"
"Otherwise what? Do you think you can rely on a bunch of cowards?"
Qin Rushan glanced at him and said, "I'm also planning to move my family to the county town. I'll keep an eye on things here from now on."
This news was like a bolt from the blue for Xu Yuecheng, filling him with unexpected joy.
If Qin Rushan were willing to step down and take charge, who in the county's transportation industry would dare to compete with them for a living?
Let alone the provincial capital, even if you went to the border, no one would dare to stop Qin Rushan's car!
He knew Qin Rushan's abilities all too well.
This guy was a king of soldiers in the army, and after retiring, he became a road god when it came to driving a car.
Xu Yuecheng's success in recent years was entirely due to Qin Rushan's guidance in getting him into the business.
Qin Rushan recently returned to his village to rest for a long time, which caused his business to suffer a setback, but now that setback has finally been resolved.
"Great! Brother Qin, when are you moving? Have you found a place yet? Do you need any help from the brothers?"
Xu Yuecheng was so excited he was almost incoherent, "Just say the word, and we'll do anything for you, let alone move you! We'd even build you a new house!"
"The house is ready-made, it's nearby, the detached house behind the machinery factory."
Qin Rushan remained calm. "We'll pack up and move in these next couple of days. Just have someone clear the weeds in the yard, and don't worry about anything else."
"No problem! I'll have the car checked out and the tank filled up in the next few days. I'm at your beck and call!" Xu Yuecheng rubbed his hands excitedly. Seeing that it was getting late, he quickly urged, "Let's go, let's go! We have to have a drink today! Let's go to the state-run restaurant. I'll have someone cut two pounds of braised beef, and we'll have a good few drinks!"
Qin Rushan waved his hand and walked out, saying, "I'm not drinking anymore."
"Hey? Why are you leaving already?" Xu Yuecheng quickly chased after him. "Why are you in such a hurry? It's not even completely dark yet!"
Qin Rushan kept walking without turning his head, but his voice revealed a rare gentleness and pride.
"My wife is still waiting at home. I'm afraid she'll be unhappy if I go back late."
Xu Yuecheng slammed on the brakes, nearly tripping himself and falling flat on his face.
Holy crap!
Xu Yuecheng immediately cursed, his eyes nearly popping out of his head, "Wife?! Brother Qin, when did you...when did you get married? There wasn't a word about it! You're so unfair, not even telling your brother about something this big?"
Qin Rushan ignored his clamor, lifted his foot and walked out, his steps much lighter than when he came.
"The village already held a banquet, but it wasn't a big affair."
As he reached the door, he stopped and turned back, tossing out, "Once things are settled in these next few days, bring them into the city, and we'll throw a feast. You'll definitely get your share of the money."
After saying that, he pulled open a 28-inch bicycle parked at the door, straddled it with his long legs, pushed off with his feet, and the wheels spun rapidly, disappearing into the alleyway in the blink of an eye.
Xu Yuecheng stood there bewildered in the wind, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
Was that Qin Rushan just now? The Qin Rushan who kills without blinking an eye and sheds blood without shedding a tear?
"This is terrifying..."
Xu Yuecheng scratched his head and muttered to himself, "Who on earth is this deity who can train this fierce tiger into such a domesticated creature? And now we have to rush back to serve it?"
Xu Yuecheng was still staring blankly at the alley entrance when the large iron gate creaked open.
A woman wearing a floral polyester shirt stepped into the courtyard, carrying a bamboo basket with water dripping from the bottom.
The woman was in her early thirties, with a plump figure, and her waist swayed as she walked, like a ripe peach.
Her hair had just been permed and was loosely pinned up at the back of her head, with a few strands hanging down beside her ears, exuding the charm of a mature woman.
"Yuecheng, what are you staring at?"
Xiao Lan placed the basket on the stone table and said familiarly, "I just went to the supply and marketing cooperative and grabbed two jin of pig's head meat, as well as peanuts, which Brother Qin loves. Where's Brother Qin? Is he still in the warehouse taking inventory?"
