next day!

Qin Ran received a message from Gu Xinrou.

She informed them that she had found a craftsman to make memorial tablets.

Gu Xinrou sent the old man's address to Qin Ran.

Have Qin Ran deliver the sandalwood over.

Today is the weekend.

Qin Ran originally wanted to invite Gu Xinrou to lunch.

But she's been too busy lately, focused on selling Bashar cosmetics, and hasn't had any time at all.

Qin Ran had no choice but to give up.

Afterwards, he went out and drove to the old master's shop.

Upon arriving at their destination, Qin Ran took the sandalwood she had previously purchased from the car.

The experienced craftsman could tell at a glance that this was a valuable, top-quality sandalwood.

Qin Ran told the master the names of the Li family members.

He can only provide a name.

He had no idea about the birth and death anniversaries of the Li family members.

The experienced craftsman didn't ask any further questions.

He told Qin Ran to come and pick up the memorial tablet in a week.

After reaching an agreement, Qin Ran left the shop.

With nothing else to do, he decided to go and visit Xue Zhirong.

It has been some time since Xue Zhirong had his surgery.

Qin Ran wanted to go and see how his leg was recovering.

Upon arriving at the destination, Qin Ran rang the doorbell.

Xue Zhirong was overjoyed to see Qin Ran when he opened the door: "Qin Ran, you're here! I was just about to call you. Come in quickly."

Qin Ran entered the apartment and looked at Xue Zhirong's leg: "How is your leg recovering?"

"It's almost healed. You're like Hua Tuo reincarnated; you can even cure my useless leg."

"That's good. You said you were just about to call me, is there something you need?"

Xue Zhirong said, "It's the weekend today, so I was just asking if you have time. I'd like to invite you to dinner."

"What a coincidence, I happen to have some time today."

"Come sit down, let's sit down and talk," Xue Zhirong said politely.

Qin Ran sat down on the sofa: "Are you getting used to living here?"

"I'm used to it! I'm already very satisfied to live in an apartment like this."

"Your leg is healed now. I'll arrange for you to start working for the Black Emperor Consortium."

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."

Qin Ran changed the subject: "By the way, do you still remember Yao Zhiruo?"

"Of course I remember. She was the prettiest girl in our class back then. I remember you even had a crush on her."

Qin Ran smiled and said, "Yao Zhiruo also works for the Black Emperor Consortium; I arranged it for her too."

"Have you maintained contact?"

"No, I ran into her last time. She was looking for a job, so I helped her find one."

Xue Zhirong then said, "Why don't you invite Yao Zhiruo too? The three of us old classmates can have a good get-together at noon today."

"Sure, I'll message her and see if she's free."

Qin Ran took out his phone and sent a message to Yao Zhiruo.

The other party replied quickly, saying they were free at noon.

Qin Ran then extended an invitation.

Yao Zhiruo readily agreed.

Afterwards, Qin Ran and Xue Zhirong chatted for a while longer.

It was almost noon, so they prepared to go eat.

Qin Ran drove to pick up Yao Zhiruo.

Yao Zhiruo was somewhat surprised when she saw Xue Zhirong.

They were all classmates, so naturally they all knew each other.

Yao Zhiruo simply didn't expect that Qin Ran and Xue Zhirong were still in contact.

Qin Ran had never mentioned it before.

In the car, the three exchanged a few casual pleasantries.

Afterwards, Qin Ran drove to Wanfulou.

It's the weekend, and there are a lot of people.

All the private rooms are booked.

The three of them could only sit in the lobby downstairs.

After ordering the food and drinks, Qin Ran and the other two waited patiently.

"By the way, have you heard? Kong Zhennan, the underground emperor of Xijing, has been released from prison. It's all over the place now," Yao Zhiruo said to Qin Ran and Xue Zhirong.

Qin Ran smiled and said, "You still care about these things?"

"The main reason is that Kong Zhennan is too famous in Xi'an. I remember that in order to arrest him, the relevant departments in Xi'an mobilized tens of thousands of special agents, which caused quite a stir at the time," Yao Zhiruo said seriously.

Qin Ran clicked his tongue: "I had heard of Kong Zhennan before I went to prison. He was indeed a big shot in Xijing. As for when he was arrested, I don't know, because I wasn't in Xijing at the time."

"I don't really care about this kind of thing," Xue Zhirong echoed.

Yao Zhiruo pursed her lips after hearing this.

She had originally planned to gossip with them for a while.

But they weren't interested at all.

Yao Zhiruo had no choice but to stop gossiping.

Soon the food and drinks were served, and the three of them ate and chatted.

At the same time, a black Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of Wanfulou.

The car door opened, and Qin Hao stepped out of the car with a triumphant air.

Besides him, there was also a scarred man.

This man's name is Liang Xiaolong, and he is Kong Zhennan's number one lackey.

Qin Hao told Qin Honghai and Wang Xiufang yesterday that he knew a very important person in prison.

This person is Kong Zhennan, the underground emperor of Xijing.

The two walked into Wanfulou side by side.

The waiter came to greet us.

"Hello, are you two?"

Qin Hao, one hand in his pocket, said, "Go and call your boss!"

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Just go and call them, stop talking nonsense."

The waiter had no choice but to call the boss.

A short while later, a middle-aged man arrived; he was the owner of the place.

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

"Send all these people away, I want to book the whole place." Qin Hao said, looking like a big shot.

"You want to book the whole place now, sir? The guests have already started eating, and I can't let them leave. Why don't you book it next time?"

Qin Hao sneered: "Do you know who this man next to me is? He's Liang Xiaolong, the most trusted confidant of Kong Zhennan, the underground emperor of Xijing. I'm inviting him to dinner, and I have to book the whole place. If you don't agree, you might as well close this restaurant."

The restaurant owner instinctively looked at Liang Xiaolong.

He was so frightened by just one glance that he started trembling.

The other person's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Moreover, the boss had also heard of this person.

He also knew that the once-sensational underground emperor of Xijing had been released from prison.

He can't afford to mess with someone like that.

"Please wait a moment, gentlemen, I'll clear the area right away."

The owner then led the staff to clear the area.

These guests were initially unwilling.

But as soon as he heard that Leung Siu-lung was going to book the whole place, he ran faster than a rabbit.

Qin Ran and the other two were quite surprised to see the guests leaving one after another.

At the same time, Qin Ran saw Qin Hao standing at the door.

Shouldn't this kid be in jail? How come he's out?

Who is that man next to him? He looks like a tough guy.

"Look, it's Liang Xiaolong," Yao Zhiruo pointed to the doorway.

Qin Ran looked at Yao Zhiruo: "Do you know that man?"

"He's Liang Xiaolong, Kong Zhennan's most trusted confidant. They must have booked the whole place, which is why the owner is kicking them out. Let's go too," Yao Zhiruo said anxiously.

Qin Ran's expression turned playful upon hearing this.

interesting.

It seems Qin Hao has found a powerful backer.

Now I have something to do again.

Qin Ran didn't think much of it. He said to Yao Zhiruo and Xue Zhirong, "Don't be afraid, let's keep eating. No one can drive us away today."

Yao Zhiruo and Xue Zhirong both felt a little uneasy.

If they don't leave, they'll probably be in big trouble.

At this moment, the owner came over with a waiter: "Excuse me, gentlemen, this place has been booked by Liang Xiaolong. You'd better pay your bill and leave quickly."

Qin Ran glanced sideways at the boss: "We haven't finished eating yet, why are you asking for the bill!"

"Young man, you probably don't know who Liang Xiaolong is, he's..."

"I don't need to explain. I know who he is. To put it bluntly, he's just a lackey. I don't take him seriously." Qin Ran deliberately raised his voice.

Upon hearing the sound, Qin Hao and Liang Xiaolong instinctively looked in this direction.

The next second, Qin Hao immediately recognized Qin Ran...
