359 Being Followed

The remaining two were sold for another two million yuan. This time, Qin Xi made a killing.

Qu Zhenglong had already asked his assistant to get a bank card. There was 15 million yuan in it. He handed it to Qin Xi. “Miss Qin, this is 15 million yuan. The password is 123,456. You can go to the bank to check.”

Qin Xi took the bank card and said with a smile, “I trust Mr. Qu.”

“Miss Qin, do you have anything important to do next? Why don’t I treat you and Elder Xu to a meal?” Qu Zhenglong looked at the time and invited.

Elder Xu shook his head and said excitedly, “There’s no need for a meal. Let’s exchange our contact numbers. I can’t wait to take the jade home.”

Qu Zhenglong actually did not have much time for a meal, but he still had to follow the most basic etiquette. Hearing that Elder Xu was really eager to go back, Qu Zhenglong looked at Qin Xi again. “What about Miss Qin?”

Qin Xi smiled and said jokingly, “Mr. Qu, forget it. I’m in some trouble today. Let’s go our separate ways!”

Elder Xu and Qu Zhenglong were both smart people and instantly understood what she meant.

Elder Xu’s face immediately darkened. “Miss Qin, do you need help? My words still carry some authority.”

Qin Xi waved her hand nonchalantly. “Don’t worry, Elder Xu. I can handle this small matter myself. It’s getting late. I still have to buy some things. Elder Xu, Mr. Qu, I’ll take my leave first. See you again!”

Seeing her walk out of the door, Elder Xu said to the bodyguard, “Go and follow Miss Qin in the dark. If necessary, protect her.”

The bodyguard nodded respectfully and turned to leave.

After leaving the Treasure Gathering Hall, Gu Qing came up to her and looked around vigilantly. “Let’s go. I just asked someone to drive the car over.”

Qin Xi raised her eyebrows and smiled. “I thought you left!”

She had seen Gu Qing leave quietly just now. She thought he left because he was afraid that Boss Fu would send people to beat the two of them up.

To be honest, the two of them weren’t really friends yet. There was no need for him to suffer for Qin Xi. Even if he left, Qin Xi would not say anything.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qing only went out to find a car. It seemed that this man was worth befriending. However, seeing his serious expression and tense body, Qin Xi smiled and comforted him, “Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal. Believe me, those nobodies can’t hurt me at all. By the way, didn’t you say that you would take me to buy acupuncture needles? Let’s go now. I still have to pick a birthday gift for an elder later. Do you have a good idea?”

“You’d better leave first. The owner of the Treasure Gathering Hall is a petty person. Today, you took away all the top-grade goods in his shop. He must be holding a grudge against you. He might have already found people to deal with you!” Gu Qing was not as calm as Qin Xi. He knew that if they did not leave now, it would be too late. He subconsciously wanted to hold her hand.

Qin Xi seemed to have expected this. She quietly dodged and tied up the messy hair by her ear. Her eyes were shining with confidence as she said with a smile, “It’s too late. They are already following us. Gu Qing, believe me. We’ll be fine.”

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment by her gaze, and then he realized what she was saying. He reflexively turned his head to look behind him, only to see a few burly men staring at them with no intention of hiding anything.

His heart skipped a beat and his handsome face darkened. He opened his mouth but did not know what to say.

Qin Xi said as if nothing had happened, “Alright, don’t think too much. Take me to buy acupuncture needles!”
