I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"This is great! Absolutely fantastic!"

Qin Ge readily agreed. What was Su Zhengze's request? Even if he hadn't made that request, Qin Ge would have helped Su Wenxi anyway.

Both sides had their own objectives, and they quickly reached an agreement.

Su Wenxi was surprised that her grandfather actually agreed. She knew that the Su family's martial arts technique was the foundation of the Su family and had always been passed down only to family members, not even to relatives by marriage!

Su Zhengze's thinking was actually very simple. He would never have agreed to anyone else so easily, but Qin Ge was different.

He didn't know what style Qin Ge practiced, but he could tell that Qin Ge's practice was definitely much more advanced than the Su family's techniques!

How could someone who possesses a precious jade possibly covet a tile?

Su Zhengze may seem to be negotiating with Qin Ge, but if he could see his granddaughter break through to the Earth Realm with Qin Ge's help in his lifetime, he would be laughing in his dreams.

Qin Ge was also surprised that it went so smoothly. It wasn't as exaggerated as Su Wenxi had said. It was resolved with just two palm strikes!

After treating Su Zhengze, Qin Ge spent the whole afternoon chatting with him and learning more about martial arts.

Afterwards, at Su Zhengze's warm invitation, they had dinner before going home.

Qin Ge wanted to take Su Wenxi back with him so she could stay at his house and teach Yang Xiaomeng, saving them the trouble of traveling back and forth.

Su Wenxi knew that Qin Ge's real intentions were not what they seemed, so she refused on the spot.

That bastard has no self-control whatsoever. What would happen if we lived in his house?

......

"Little Melon is back!"

Seeing Qin Ge return, Qin An and the other two all breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Ge asked curiously, "I was only out for an afternoon, is it really that big of a deal?"

"What happened?"

Yang Xiaomeng explained with a smile, "It seems things aren't very peaceful in Donghai lately. A rapist has appeared, and several young girls have been raped and murdered. It's all been on the news!"

"Your aunt and uncle are worried because you haven't come back so late."

Qin Ge was both amused and exasperated. "You said the victim was a young girl, do I look like a young girl to you?"

"You can't say that!" Jiang Xue interjected. "Murderers are all psychopaths, especially those who kill innocent and vulnerable people."

"Right now, the victims are all young girls, but who can guarantee he won't target other groups?"

"Besides, Miss Su is so beautiful. Isn't it normal for you to be targeted when you're with her?"

She glanced behind Qin Ge, then looked towards the gate. "Didn't Miss Su come back with you?"

"Xiaogua, you need to remind her not to go out alone at night!"

"Mom, I understand!" Qin Ge chuckled inwardly. This lecherous murderer attacked Su Wenxi; did he have a death wish?

Qin An sighed, "I never expected that something like this would happen in a big city like Donghai. It's been so many days and the case still hasn't been solved."

"That murderous rapist was still committing crimes last night, and the news says the police have some leads that suggest there was more than one perpetrator!"

"Dad, Mom, stop worrying. They'll catch them sooner or later!" Qin Ge glanced at a red box on the coffee table and sensed something strange about it.

He reached out and picked up the box. "The Blazing Sun Black Phoenix Pill? What's this?"

Yang Xiaomeng looked a little strange, then explained, "We went to the mall today and came across a company called Jiaoyang Pharmaceutical that was having an event to promote this health product."

"The aunt was selected as a lucky audience member. She only needs to leave her personal information and contact details to receive a free box, and she can also purchase this health product at a 30% discount afterwards."

"The person at the scene was exaggerating, saying this thing was exceptionally good, and that it would normally retail for 998!"

"So the auntie got a box for free, but we didn't buy any."

Qin Ge's lips twitched a few times. Lucky audience? More like韭菜 (a metaphor for being exploited)!

This health supplement is probably not even as good as Maltesers.

"Dad, Mom, you're both healthy. Don't eat these things indiscriminately in the future, or you'll cause problems."

"Didn't you all tell me from a young age that free things are the most expensive? How come you don't remember that now?"

After chatting with her parents for a while, Qin Ge went upstairs.

He initially intended to throw the box of health supplements directly into the trash can, but considering his mother's feelings, he held back and took the box upstairs.

Yang Xiaomeng greeted Qin Ge's parents and then went upstairs with them.

She was about to open her door when Qin Ge pulled her back into the room.

"Brother Gua..."

"I haven't showered yet. I've been walking around all afternoon and I'm covered in sweat."

Yang Xiaomeng's breath was sweet and her face blushed.

Let's go together!

Qin Ge carried Yang Xiaomeng into the bathroom...

"Brother Gua, did you see Sister Su's grandfather when you went back this afternoon?"

Yang Xiaomeng glanced at Qin Ge and asked cautiously.

She hadn't originally considered practicing martial arts, but after Qin Ge mentioned it, her interest grew stronger, especially after seeing the news about the murderous lecher today.

She had been wanting to ask, but seeing that Qin Ge hadn't mentioned it since returning home, she figured Su Wenxi's grandfather probably hadn't agreed.

Yang Xiaomeng didn't want to put Qin Ge in a difficult position, but after enduring it for a long time, she finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Su Zhengze agreed!"

"Starting tomorrow, Wenxi will come to teach you martial arts. You must practice hard. Don't worry about work for now; I'll support you!"

Qin Ge stroked Yang Xiaomeng's head and pressed it down.

"Really?!" Yang Xiaomeng looked up suddenly, her joy evident in her eyes.

"I...I didn't mean to."

Seeing Qin Ge's startled expression, she felt apologetic yet amused, and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, Brother Gua, is there anything wrong with that 'Proud Sun Black Phoenix Pill'?"

Why did you look so disgusted when you saw that thing?

"It's not that there's anything wrong with the product, but the so-called 'lucky audience' is just a gimmick, and I find it disgusting." Qin Ge glanced at the red box on the shelf by the door. "But that product does have some problems."

"From the ingredients, it is made of some common and cheap medicinal materials, which are harmless to the human body, but do not have the effects that GG boasts."

"The formula is fine; the problem is with the herbs. I smell a very strong musty odor!"

"Brother Gua, you're amazing!" Yang Xiaomeng suddenly laughed. "Your nose is even better than my dog, Dahuang's. We couldn't smell it at all."

"ah--"

......

The next morning, before Su Wenxi arrived, Hong Zhendong came first.

"President Hong, it's rare to see someone like you, who lives a life of debauchery every day, get up so early. Is there something urgent?"

Qin Ge led Hong Zhendong into a tea room on the first floor.

Hong Zhendong smiled, but his expression remained solemn. "Brother Qin, I've come here today seeking medical help."

"Seeking medical help?" Qin Ge glanced at Hong Zhendong. "You don't look like you have any problems!"

"It wasn't me, it was our association president," Hong Zhendong said with a wry smile. "To be precise, it was our association president's elderly mother!"

"I told our president about the Kumanthong incident. He's been wanting to meet you, but he's been too busy lately."

"The president's elderly mother suddenly fell ill last night and is still in a coma in the hospital."

"Even the renowned physician Sun Shizheng went to see him, but he couldn't revive him. Our guild leader was extremely worried, so I thought of you, Brother Qin."
