The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 937 - 939: Get Lost! I Never Want to See You Again!

After meeting Hua Shuzhen, Gan Qiu directly opened both suitcases.

"Teacher Hua, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Regarding my early retirement, please put in a good word for me with Secretary Bao."

Hua Shuzhen frowned slightly, looking troubled.

"The decision about your retirement doesn't rest with Old Bao; the only one who can make the decision is Cheng Liusha, you see..."

"Teacher Hua, please don't say that. I believe that as long as Secretary Kanglu is willing, he can certainly help me."

Gan Qiu didn't want to listen to any nonsense and got up to leave as soon as he finished speaking.

This time, Hua Shuzhen didn't put the gold away as usual.

Instead, she sat on the couch, silently waiting for Bao Kanglu to return.

Before too long, Bao Kanglu walked in the door.

Upon seeing the gold on the coffee table, he instinctively asked.

"Gan Qiu came by?"

Hua Shuzhen replied, "Yes, he wants you to help him retire early."

Sighing, Bao Kanglu looked quite helpless.

"It's not that I don't want to help, but Cheng Liusha is the one preventing him from retiring."

"What about this gold then..."

"This is the last time; we can't take it anymore, or there will definitely be trouble."

A few days later, Gan Qiu called Hua Shuzhen to inquire about the progress.

She replied that Bao Kanglu said he was powerless.

Without further ado, Gan Qiu brought another large box of gold that very evening and delivered it to Bao Kanglu's home.

Initially, Hua Shuzhen didn't want to accept it, but Gan Qiu insisted on leaving it.

When Bao Kanglu found out about this, he was very angry.

"I told you long ago not to accept Gan Qiu's money; what on earth is wrong with you?!"

Hua Shuzhen was also very annoyed, "I didn't want it to begin with, but he insisted. What could I do? Besides, you are at least a deputy secretary in the Provincial Committee, yet you can't even handle early retirement? How useless!"

Bao Kanglu was already troubled by this matter; hearing this, he shouted angrily.

"What the hell do you understand! It's not just that I'm a small deputy secretary of the Provincial Committee, even the Provincial Committee Secretary has someone above him! From now on, you're not allowed to see Gan Qiu again, or even take his calls!"

Hua Shuzhen said nothing, but after Bao Kanglu went upstairs, she secretly called Gan Qiu.

"We've really done our best with your situation. Old Bao just scolded me earlier and told me not to bother with you anymore. I suggest you talk to him directly; I really can't do anything."

Gan Qiu hung up the phone and smashed it on the ground without saying a word.

He never imagined that Bao Kanglu and his wife could be so greedy.

Do they really want to drain him dry before they stop?

Fuming, he drove overnight to Tianhai.

Bao Kanglu's face turned very dark upon seeing Gan Qiu.

"Why are you still here? I can't help with your early retirement! Instead of putting effort into me, why don't you focus on Cheng Liusha, who is the one blocking your retirement?"

With a sigh, Gan Qiu pleaded, his face full of desperation.

"Secretary Bao, I know Cheng Liusha is key, but with our many years of connection, can't you at least help me?"

"Do you not understand human language? I'll say it one last time, it's not that I don't want to help, but I have limited ability. The person stopping you is Cheng Liusha, it's nothing to do with me, do you understand?!"

"Secretary Bao, I'm sure you know the sincerity I've shown over the years. If I retire, aside from a pension, I'll have no other income coming in. Please, do me a favor and leave me with something."

Bao Kanglu hadn't expected the other party to speak so bluntly.

Filled with anger, he shouted back.

"You can forget it, I won't be helping you. Do you have anything else? If not, hurry up and leave. I still need to rest!"

Gan Qiu, having no options left, could only grit his teeth and ask.

"Why don't you just name a price, as long as I can afford it, I won't say a word. Dragging this out is pointless."

In his view, the more Bao Kanglu claimed he couldn't help, the more he actually wanted his money.

Bao Kanglu was trembling with rage, shouting once again.

"Get lost, just get lost! I never want to see you again!" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Seeing that the confrontation had reached a breaking point, Gan Qiu no longer held back.

His eyes red with anger, he retorted, "I've already given enough over the years, what more do you want? Do you really want me to lose everything?"

Bao Kanglu squinted, a cold glimmer in his eyes.

"Is this how you speak to me?"

"Bao, you better stop while you're ahead. If you don't help with my early retirement, I'll go to the Imperial Capital and report you!"

At this, Bao Kanglu turned green with anger.

"Do you think I'm easily intimidated? Want to go to the Imperial Capital to report me? Fine, I wish you every success!"

"Alright, just you wait!"

Seeing Gan Qiu slam the door and leave, Hua Shuzhen became anxious.

If Gan Qiu really went to the Imperial Capital to report Bao Kanglu, wouldn't everything be over!

Approaching her husband, she saw him stewing in frustration and said.

"Why don't you find a way to help with Gan Qiu's issue; if he really goes to the Imperial Capital, you might not end up as governor, not to mention deputy secretary in the Provincial Committee."

Still fuming, Bao Kanglu roared even louder upon hearing this.

"Are you an idiot? I can't help with Gan Qiu's issue! Can't help! Don't you understand human language?!"

"Who would believe you can't handle such a small matter?"

"Do as you please, but I really can't help!"

"Fine, don't help him then, just wait for him to go to the Imperial Capital to report you!"

With a scoff, Bao Kanglu looked dismissive.

"Do you really think he's got the guts to go? If things go wrong, he won't escape unscathed either!"

Hua Shuzhen pondered briefly and found the argument reasonable.

But she still reminded, "You should be prepared for the worst; better safe than sorry."

"Alright, I'll go stay elsewhere for a while to avoid the storm."

"That's a wise move. By the way, Huo Kun called a few days ago, saying he wants to work at Tianhai TV."

"Bringing him back is good too, to prevent Gan Qiu from playing dirty tricks in secret."

As Bao Kanglu and his wife continued their conversation, Gan Qiu found himself in a dilemma.

Indeed, he had resolved that if Bao Kanglu refused to help, he would go to the Imperial Capital to file a complaint.

But after cooling down, he doubted the feasibility of the plan.

After all, if Bao Kanglu got in trouble, he wouldn't benefit from it either.

With Chen Bin's limited means, it's unlikely they could destroy him.

If he held on a bit longer, maybe he could still retire.

But to not retaliate against Bao Kanglu after sending all that money down the drain?

The more Gan Qiu thought about it, the more conflicted he became, tossing and turning as he lay in bed.

How should he act to both vent his frustration and avoid causing Bao Kanglu too much trouble?
