Stopped the car.
Qin Hai left his lunchbox in the car as he walked all the way to the cafe, his speed didn’t seem fast, but in the blink of an eye he had arrived at the door, just in time to stop the shopkeeper from closing.
The shopkeeper, who looked to be in his thirties, swept a glance at Qin Hai, and with a flicker of caution in his eyes, said, “Sorry, it’s closing.”
“How can it be closed at noon? There’s quite a lot of foot traffic in this area, business should be booming, right?” Qin Hai Hai pointed to the incessant crowd around.
The shopkeeper was a bit impatient and waved his hand, saying, “It’s none of your business if you’re getting rich or not, I’m closing, goodbye!”
“Not even for a few minutes?” Qin Hai Hai pressed one hand on the door, no matter how much this shopkeeper used it, he couldn’t close it, he said smilingly, “It won’t take you long, I’m just buying a few cups of coffee.”
“It’s closed!” The shopkeeper frowned tightly as he pointed into the distance and said, “Turn a corner there are two or three more coffee shops, I have urgent business, take your hand away from me!”
Qin Dahai was in no hurry, and with a smile in his eyes, he added, “Actually I’m not here to buy coffee, but my friend went in earlier, that big beauty just now, I’ve been courting her, give her a chance?”
The shopkeeper had a cold look in his eyes, but he hid it well and opened the door after a moment’s hesitation, saying, “Well, seeing as you’re so smitten, you can come in then, but don’t shout, I have a valuable customer in this shop.”
“Soon.” Qin Hai said with conviction.
When he entered the cafe, Qin Hai swept a glance, there was no one in the hall, he smiled and said, “Where is my friend?”
“In talks with a valued customer, take your time.” The shopkeeper walked behind the bar, he pointed to a seat on the side and said, “Sit down first, what can I drink.”
“Blue Mountain.”
Qin Hai said without even thinking about it.
Su Hanxia didn’t usually drink much coffee, but when she did, she would only drink Blue Mountain coffee. He pointed to the curtain and said, “Why don’t you open the curtain in broad daylight?”
The shopkeeper lowered his head and was pounding coffee, hostility flashed in his eyes and he said, “It’s quiet.”
Qin Hai did not say anything.
After waiting for a while, the shopkeeper prepared the coffee for Qin Dahai, who brought it over and smelled it, and could not help but give it a thumbs up, saying, “It’s very good.”
“Enjoy your meal.” The shopkeeper smiled back, seemingly satisfied that Qin Hai knew what he was doing.
But soon his smile stiffened, only to see Qin Hai pushing the coffee forward and in front of him, saying, “You drink.”
The corners of the shopkeeper’s mouth twitched, “I have my own.”
Seeing him likewise pick up a cup of coffee, Qin Hai knocked on the bar, pointed to his own cup of coffee that was still steaming, and said indifferently, “I’ll let you have this one.”
The shopkeeper’s face looked unhappy as he glared at Qin Hai Hai and said discontentedly, “What’s wrong with you? I was about to close and all but let you in, why are you not drinking it now? Are you playing a trick on me?”
Qin Dahai let out a laugh and in an instant took the cup again as he said, “What’s your hurry, I thank you for buying you coffee.”
“No need!” The shopkeeper said without good humour.
Qin Hai shrugged his shoulders and took a sip from his coffee, as if he was reminiscing, he said, “It tastes quite good, really good.”
“Drank it did you?” The shopkeeper glanced at Qin Hai at this time and found that Qin Hai had indeed taken a sip, his face went cold, a glint of viciousness flashed in his eyes, he walked out of the bar and opened a door to the side and said, “Drink it and come with me.”
“Why?” Qin Hai asked curiously.
A glint of smugness flashed in the shopkeeper’s eyes, “Because there is poison in your coffee.”
“A black shop?” Qin Hai asked with a smile.
The shopkeeper’s heart jumped, wondering why this guy wasn’t scared, but he saw Qin Hai take a sip with his own eyes, and his bottom line returned as he said, “It’s not a black shop.”
“Then why did you poison it?” Qin Hai Hai said amusedly, “You should know that I haven’t done anything.”
The shopkeeper sneered, another flash of hostility in his eyes because of Qin Hai’s attitude, apparently Qin Hai did not leak panic or beg for mercy, he was very unhappy, but his mouth still said coldly, “If you had just left here directly, I would not have harmed you, but you have too much idle business, you can choose to run, but I guarantee that you will not be able to run out of this door, you can also call the police, but check your phone first.”
Qin Hai really did take out his mobile phone, which showed no signal.
When the shopkeeper saw his move, he smiled disdainfully and said, “Go, come with me honestly, if you know what you’re doing, you won’t die.”
“Good.”
Qin Hai nodded dryly.
He followed and went through the coffee shop staff’s studio, after pa*sing through a door, Qin Hai found that behind this was a deep alleyway, that shopkeeper expressionlessly led Qin Hai through the alleyway, and then opened an iron door at one side, which was a corridor. When he went inside, Qin Hai obviously felt that the corridor was gradually going down, and he couldn’t help but feel a little curious in his heart.
But he didn’t ask too many questions, and I’m sure the shopkeeper wouldn’t say too much.
The corridor was not very long.
At the end of the corridor was another door.
At the door were two men in security outfits, both of whom had an air of irony about them, and one could tell at a glance that they were soldiers.
More like mercenaries, to be precise.
The shopkeeper cooperated honestly and was searched, and Qin Hai did not refuse, and unfolded his hands generously.
There was a clutter of sounds and the room opened up before them.
They saw that this was a casino with a large area, filled with all kinds of gambling equipment. Perhaps because of the daytime, there were not many gamblers, but every one of them looked agitated, eager to win away all the wealth here.
“I didn’t expect there to be such a ma*sive casino underground in Penghai.” Qin Hai couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, this was indeed incredible.
The shopkeeper smiled disdainfully, “There’s still a lot you don’t know, just sitting in a well and watching the sky.”
Qin Dahai let out a heave, before he could say anything, but a man’s voice came from the side: “Wang Wen, don’t talk nonsense, you know this is the famous Qin Dahai of Penghai in front of you.”
There was a bit of teasing in the words.
Qin Haihai could confirm that the man with gla*ses who came over was flirting with himself, not Wang Wen.
And some of the casino gamblers and staff around looked at Qin Hai, somewhat surprised, after all, they had all heard that the Qin Hai in front of them was a big hit with the police, and that he would appear here.
Wang Wen, the manager of the coffee shop, smiled disdainfully, swept a glance at Qin Hai and said, “That Qin Hai who led the police to sweep away Qi Feng’s forces? It doesn’t look like much more than that, isn’t he still honestly under our control at this point.”
