I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 301 Abandoned Shipyard
“Brother Wei’s affairs are our affairs, there’s no question of whether it’s troublesome or not.”

Qin Bo laughed heartily, not considering the matter a major headache, and said, "In Jinling City, Lao Duan and I still have influence. Don't worry, with us handling this, we'll definitely get it done properly for you!"

Duan Hongjing squinted, smiled at Wei Lin first, and then smiled at Zhuang Qing, saying, "Girl, we meet again."

Old Duan has a deep memory of Zhuang Qing.

When he first met Wei Lin, his younger brother Duan Yanhu and Wei Lin were locked in a fierce battle in the green belt, while he and Zhuang Qing watched the show from the sidelines.

Later, when he instructed Duan Yanhu to cut off the car again, Zhuang Qing stepped on the gas and rammed into it hard.

After reconciling with Wei Lin, he actually admired Zhuang Qing's strong personality. When they met again, he smiled, which could be considered as him taking the initiative to make amends.

Zhuang Qing felt somewhat embarrassed and said, "About last time..."

"It's over!"

Duan Hongjing waved his hand, telling her not to mention it anymore, and then went straight to the point, saying, "I've found out that the abandoned shipyard belongs to Dou San. Qin Bo and I have long since gone ashore to do legitimate business, but he still has one foot in the water, working on urban construction projects in Jinling City."

"In his early years, Dou San and his brothers ran a boat business, but the business went downhill, so they started gambling on a few dilapidated boats."

“The boat is floating on the river, so it’s more difficult to investigate. If it’s being watched, it’s easier to deal with quickly. There haven’t been any problems in all these years, and he’s still doing it.”

"We weren't very familiar with Dou San, but we had met him a few times, so we still had to give him some face."

"In short, the matter is not difficult to handle."

Duan Hongjing said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Dasheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed happily, "That's good!"

With Qin Bo and Duan Hongjing acting as intermediaries, the talks with Dou San were much easier, and he believed that getting his son out of the country shouldn't be too difficult.

“Brother Wei, take this bag of money with you. We brothers will accompany you to see Dou San.”

Qin Bo casually tossed a large nylon bag full of money at Wei Lin's feet and said with a smile, "We didn't ask about the specifics. We can talk about it face to face when we meet Dou San."

Duan Hongjing explained, "Dou San has an illegitimate son who attends a university in the university town of Jinling City. It's one of those low-class, unaccredited universities. If I'm not mistaken, your brother-in-law must have had a conflict with his son. His son is thin and small, wears thick black-rimmed glasses, and seems like the kind of person who's easy to bully."

"It's alright. As long as his son isn't seriously injured, there won't be any problems on our end."

He didn't even bother to ask around; he guessed pretty accurately.

As for the reason for the fight, Duan Hongjing didn't know, but it must have been that Dou San's son suffered a great loss and complained to his father, and Dou San, who still had one leg injured, kidnapped the man.

"It's all because I can't discipline him. My son does have a bad temper and is always causing me trouble."

Zhuang Dasheng, looking embarrassed, said again, "This is troublesome!"

Upon hearing that Qin Bo and Duan Hongjing had found the real culprit, and that both of them knew Dou San, he knew that there wouldn't be any major problems with his son.

Without the presence of Qin Bo and Duan Hongjing, two local strongmen, and without any intermediaries to mediate, he would have been constantly on the defensive if he had rushed headlong into Dou San's shipyard.

With Qin Bo and Duan Hongjing involved, things became much easier; it was simply a matter of apologizing and paying compensation.

"Hehe, your girl's temper isn't exactly good either."

Duan Hongjing chuckled and made a joke.

Zhuang Qing rolled her eyes and said, "It wasn't our fault back then."

Duan Hongjing smiled and said, "I know."

"Let's go, let's get this done as soon as possible." Qin Bo didn't delay any longer and instructed, "Tiger, you drive your brother's car, the three of us will go in one car."

Duan Yanhu immediately walked towards the black Range Rover.

After meeting up and exchanging a few words, they both drove to their destination at the same time.

……

On the riverbank, in an abandoned shipyard far from the city.

Broken boxes piled high with miscellaneous items were scattered everywhere, with beer and liquor bottles tucked away in the corner, making the place look messy.

In a cleared, wide area in the center, eight people were playing cards at two tables, grumbling and cursing.

Dou San lay on the recliner with his legs stretched out on the small table, looking at the photos of his son sent by his mistress.

The son, lying in the hospital bed, was receiving an IV drip; his bruised and swollen face was heartbreaking.

His wife gave birth to two daughters, but he always wanted a son, so he had his concubine give birth to Dou Qin.

Dou Qin looks a lot like him, both being thin and small, and their temperaments are also similar to his when he was young, except that Dou Qin's skin is much whiter.

He always cherished his son, Dou Qin.

Upon hearing that his son had been beaten, he was naturally furious and ordered his underlings to bring the culprit over.

I only wanted to beat him up to scare him, but that kid was really aggressive, talking about how big his family business was and how extensive his connections were in the area.

This surprised Dou San.

He wasn't stupid; upon hearing that the other party was someone of considerable influence, he didn't dare to act recklessly that night.

Dou San specifically went online to check and found that Qifeng Hat Industry in Linjiang City was indeed the leading hat manufacturer in the area.

The boss, Zhuang Dasheng, possesses assets worth over a billion yuan.

This put Dou San in a difficult position.

He was in no hurry to make a move against Zhuang Daoyuan, and wanted to see the man's father first to gauge his attitude.

If Zhuang Daoyuan were just an ordinary kid, a beating to scare him would have been enough to settle the matter.

But the man's father was a big shot in Linjiang City, so he didn't dare to act rashly. He also thought that the other party must be a reasonable person and should give him an explanation.

So he arranged to meet with Zhuang Dasheng. "If we can have a proper talk, then let's have a proper talk. If he's really like this kid, I won't tolerate him!"

Dou San snorted inwardly.

No matter how big Zhuang Dasheng's business becomes, it's still based in Linjiang City, not Jinling City.

He really doesn't know what's good for him and has angered him. Not only will he teach his foul-mouthed son Zhuang Daoyuan a lesson, but he'll also teach his father a lesson.

the other side.

Sitting in the corner, Zhuang Daoyuan was incredibly well-behaved.

His phone was confiscated, so he had no way to contact anyone to warn them. At first, he was still trying to sound tough but was actually quite cowardly, but now he has finally come to terms with reality.

—This place is Jinling City, not Linjiang City.

He knew his father had extensive connections in Linjiang City, but his family didn't have any business in the provincial capital. He was a little worried that his father wouldn't be able to handle the situation after he caused such a big commotion in Jinling City.

After being confined for a night, he listened to the conversations of the two tables of people playing cards and guessed what Dou San did for a living.

Since the gambling was being organized on a boat in the river, these people were definitely not good people. This made Zhuang Daoyuan recall many scenes from movies, and he no longer dared to be arrogant.

"Once we leave Linjiang City, we should be more careful. Who knows who the kid we're fighting is?"

Zhuang Daoyuan felt a chill run down his spine.

"You're being unreasonable. Your father's business is so big, he should be reasonable."

"Kid, it's a good thing your family business is big enough, otherwise..."

Dou San suddenly glared at him fiercely and continued to scare him.

Zhuang Daoyuan remained silent, not daring to utter any more wild words to provoke him, for fear that he might actually do something irrational.

……

At half past eleven.

Several burly men playing cards huddled together eating boxed lunches and drinking bottles of beer while shouting loudly.

Zhuang Daoyuan hunched over, his stomach rumbling with hunger, and even the aroma emanating from the boxed lunch smelled delicious.

"Boss, the person has arrived."

"A Land Cruiser and a Range Rover, the cars have just stopped."

Suddenly, someone walked in through the door and spoke to Dou San inside.

"Two cars? They came prepared, huh?" Dou San frowned and ordered, "Bring them in!"

"Hey! You're not going to start a fight, are you?"

"Boss, it's been so long since we've had a proper workout!"

The burly men, who were drinking beer, pulled out sticks and controlled knives from the broken boxes behind them, their eyes gleaming with ferocity.

"Don't move a single one until I give the order!"

Dou San scolded him.

The moment Zhuang Daoyuan saw the large cleaver, a chill ran through him, and he began to worry about his father.

"Everyone be careful! Let's see how things go!"

Dou San shouted again.

The next moment, the dark-skinned, thin man, who had not yet fully reached the shore, sat up straight from the deck chair and looked at the guest he had been waiting for with a gloomy face.

"Uh, Duan Hongjing? Qin Bo?"

Dou San exclaimed in surprise, his gaze immediately falling on the two acquaintances. He asked, "Did they hire you two as intermediaries?"

In terms of business scale alone, both Duan Hongjing and Qin Bo have built larger businesses than him.

We all live in Jinling City and occasionally come into contact with each other. Moreover, we all had some shady dealings in our early years, so we know each other to some extent.

He also admired Qin Bo and Duan Hongjing, knowing that both of them were currently engaged in legitimate industries and surrounded by people of a high social standing.

He also tried to do urban construction projects like the two of them, but his connections were not as good as theirs, and he could never get good projects in urban construction.

Out of necessity, he continued his business on the river, but he lived in constant fear.

Seeing that Duan Hongjing and Qin Bo had personally come over, he knew that what Zhuang Daoyuan said was probably entirely true.

—The old man has an extremely strong network of connections!
Qin Bo grinned and said, "Dou Laosan, we've come here to apologize. Tell us what happened and we'll figure out what to do next."

"Zhuang Daoyuan! What have you done now?!" Zhuang Qing stormed in and berated him angrily.

Zhuang Dasheng didn't say anything, he just stared at his son. When he found that his son was obviously not injured, he became even calmer.

"Dad, sister!"

Upon seeing that reinforcements had arrived, Zhuang Daoyuan's anxious heart finally calmed down.

"Wei Lin?"

Zhuang Daoyuan's gaze drifted, then he suddenly noticed Wei Lin and froze.

He wasn't surprised that the old man and his sister came, but Wei Lin was someone he had no connection with, and they had even been enemies before. Wei Lin's appearance here was extremely unexpected to him.
