Chapter 386 Deliberate Exposure
Yan Bugui's question prompted Li Qin to make a decision: to take this opportunity to reveal that he had an uncle in Beijing.
Although Li Qin possesses formidable strength, he is confident in dealing with the malicious individuals within the courtyard.
But being alone will always make you look down on.
There will always be some people who think he has no one to rely on or any background, and want to bully him.
If people knew that he wasn't truly alone in Beijing, then even if some wanted to scheme against him, they would have to be more cautious.
This will save a lot of trouble.
Of course, Li Qin only decided to say that he had an uncle in Beijing, and would not reveal that this uncle was Li Huaide.
After making the decision, Li Qin smiled and said to Yan Bugui:
"Third Uncle, you're right. I did indeed flee to Beijing before, and I always thought I was all alone."
However, not long ago I ran into a distant uncle of mine by chance. Although we were quite far apart, we were related by blood.
It just so happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I prepared some gifts to visit her and take the opportunity to reconnect with her, so that I can have a close elder to take care of me in Beijing.
Yan Bugui did not doubt Li Qin's words.
After all, the situation was turbulent and unstable in previous years, and the population movement was very frequent.
It's normal for Li Qin to have elders who have settled in Beijing.
Yan Bugui was somewhat amazed by Li Qin's luck in meeting him amidst the vast sea of people.
Then, the way he looked at Li Qin began to change subtly.
Even someone with exceptional abilities will eventually attract unwanted attention if they lack the support of elders.
Otherwise, such a heinous act as eating off a childless person wouldn't have happened.
This is why, even though Li Qin had clearly demonstrated remarkable abilities and was even someone not to be trifled with, some people in the courtyard still targeted him.
But from now on, the situation has changed somewhat.
Li Qin met his elder in Beijing, thus gaining support in the city.
Before figuring out Li Qin's uncle's background, those people in the courtyard needed to be more restrained when trying to scheme against Li Qin.
After all, in Beijing, you never know when you might run into someone you can't afford to mess with.
After revealing the information he wanted to share, Li Qin decided not to waste any more time talking to Yan Bugui, since it was almost midnight.
"Uncle, my uncle invited me to lunch with them today. It's almost time, so I'll stop chatting with you now and go."
After saying that, Li Qin pushed his bicycle past Yan Bugui and left the courtyard.
Yan Bugui watched Li Qin's retreating figure and suddenly sighed:
His eyes were very complicated.
[Emotional Power +2000]
[Emotional Power +2000]
[Emotional Power +2000]
Li Qin left the courtyard, got on his bicycle, and headed straight for Li Huaide's house.
As for the system notifications in his ear, he only listened to them twice before ignoring them.
Li Qin was certain that it wouldn't be long before he would gain even more emotional power because of his uncle.
It's even possible that when he returns to the courtyard house, everyone in the entire courtyard will know that he found his uncle in Beijing.
Li Qin had no doubt about Yan Bugui's ability to relay messages.
In this respect, Yan Bugui has a natural advantage.
Yan Bugui's family lived in the front yard, and they were famous door gods.
When the residents of the courtyard house came and went, he would always look to see if there was anything he could take advantage of.
Thus, after just a few casual words, Yan Bugui would spread the word about what he had just learned.
Indeed, within just a few hours, almost all the residents of the courtyard house knew that Li Qin had an uncle in Beijing.
And it's something that has already been contacted.
Of course, the reason why the news spread so quickly was not entirely due to Yan Bugui.
In reality, Yan Bugui only made a start.
After he told a few residents about it, those residents inadvertently mentioned it while chatting with other residents.
And so, word spread from person to person, and soon the news had spread far and wide.
Upon hearing this news, the residents of the courtyard house had very mixed feelings.
There was disdain, there was emotion, there was indifference, there was importance...
Regardless, the residents of the courtyard house have changed their perspective when they talk about Li Qin.
Only Xu Damao showed a surprised expression when he heard the news.
He was one of the first people in the courtyard to know that Li Qin had an uncle.
Li Qin never shied away from discussing this matter when he was in contact with him.
However, Li Qin had also told him that he didn't want to publicize this matter.
Now that the news has spread far and wide, Xu Damao is naturally surprised.
However, when he discovered that the people in the courtyard only knew that Li Qin had an uncle, but did not know that this uncle was Li Huaide, the powerful leader of the steel rolling mill.
A strange light flashed in Xu Damao's eyes.
Xu Damao's character may not be the best, but he is definitely quick-witted.
In the blink of an eye, he had some thoughts about this matter.
He knew very well that the reason this matter had spread was because Li Qin had done it intentionally; otherwise, the people in the courtyard wouldn't have only discovered it now.
Xu Damao was so certain because:
The main reason is that the people in the courtyard did not know the relationship between Li Huaide and Li Qin.
If the people in the courtyard heard about this from the steel rolling mill, they would definitely know that Li Qin's uncle was Li Huaide.
But now, only half of the news is being spread in the courtyard.
"I wonder what Li Qin's plans are."
A look of confusion flashed in Xu Damao's eyes.
He genuinely didn't understand Li Qin's thoughts.
If you really wanted to make this public, why didn't you reveal the most crucial information?
However, although Xu Damao didn't understand, he didn't say anything.
In fact, this whole affair was partly Li Qin's scheme.
If the people in the courtyard knew that their uncle was Li Huaide from the steel mill, given their personalities...
I'll definitely keep bothering him then.
Li Qin dislikes trouble.
Furthermore, once the people in the courtyard know about his relationship with Li Huaide, they will not dare to target him casually.
In that case, Li Qin would have no excuse to teach some people in the courtyard a lesson.
That's why Li Qin chose to only tell half the story and keep half of it to himself.
While the news was spreading in the courtyard, Li Qin had already ridden his bicycle to Li Huaide's house.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Brother Zhang!
Li Qin arrived outside the gatehouse and greeted the security guards inside with a smile through the window.
Ever since he recognized Li Huaide as his uncle, he would visit Li Huaide's house from time to time.
He might send him some gifts, or Li Huaide might invite him to drink together.
Li Qin was also good at handling things; every time he came, he would offer a cigarette to the security guard at the gate.
After a few visits, I gradually became familiar with the security guard at the gate.
