You were made to take the blame and go to jail, but you weren't made a master of both medicine

Qin Honghai was puzzled: "What does this have to do with the Prince of Zhenbei?"

"Kong Zhennan once said that the Prince of Zhenbei was his biggest backer. Now that Kong Zhennan has been killed by Qin Ran, the Prince of Zhenbei will definitely come to settle accounts with him. As long as we can hold out until the Prince of Zhenbei arrives, we will be saved," Qin Hao explained truthfully.

Upon learning this, Qin Honghai and Wang Xiufang also saw hope.

The Prince of Zhenbei is a great figure of war god level.

He commanded hundreds of thousands of Northern Wolf soldiers.

If he were to punish Qin Ran, Qin Ran would certainly be in grave danger.

but……

Qin Honghai continued, turning to Qin Hao, "Didn't you just say that Qin Ran would come to ask us for that ten billion tomorrow?"

"Yes, that's what he said."

"How do we stall him?"

"You'd have to ask me that!"

"Ask me?" Qin Honghai was a little confused.

"You're the head of the household, who else should I ask if not you?" Qin Hao said irritably.

Qin Honghai was so angry he wanted to curse.

Now I know I'm the head of the household.

What were you doing before?

Wang Xiufang chimed in, "Then we'll play the victim and plead poverty, appealing to his emotions to get him to give us a few more days. We can't come up with a billion, he can't just kill us all, can he?"

Qin Honghai sighed, "That's all we can do."

……

next day!

After having breakfast, Qin Ran prepared to go to the Qin family to collect the debt.

He knew the Qin family's true capabilities.

As expected, the Qin family simply cannot come up with one billion yuan.

The more they couldn't produce the money, the more Qin Ran would try to collect it.

Just as he was leaving, his phone rang. It was Gu Xinrou.

"Hey! Hsin-rou!"

"Did you see the news? There's a total solar eclipse tonight. There's an observation deck behind your apartment complex. Let's go there to watch the eclipse."

Qin Ran's expression was somewhat strange: "You have time tonight?"

"Yes! A total solar eclipse is a rare sight, I want to go see it."

"No problem, come to my house then, and we'll go together." Qin Ran.

"Then it's settled."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Ran went out. He had just gotten into his car when he received a WeChat message from Chu Qingcheng.

The other party also invited him to watch the total solar eclipse tonight.

Qin Ran agreed, but he also told Chu Qingcheng that Gu Xinrou would be there tonight.

Chu Qingcheng said she didn't mind, and everyone could join in.

After replying to the message, Qin Ran drove to the Qin family home.

About half an hour later, he parked his car in front of the Qin family villa.

Qin Ran got out of the car and knocked on the door.

Soon, Wang Xiufang opened the door.

Seeing that it was Qin Ran, she still felt flustered.

However, she tried her best to remain calm.

"Qin Ran is here! Please come in."

Qin Ran didn't say anything; he walked into the villa expressionlessly.

He knew exactly what tactics the other party was trying to use.

Standing in the living room, Qin Honghai was somewhat at a loss when he saw Qin Ran arrive.

"Qin Ran, come quickly! Please have a seat."

After sitting down, Qin Ran crossed her legs and asked, "Where's Qin Hao?!"

"He probably hasn't gotten up yet."

"Go and call him down."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Qin Honghai hurriedly went upstairs.

Wang Xiufang was busy pouring tea for Qin Ran.

Soon, Qin Honghai brought Qin Hao downstairs.

"Brother! You're here."

"You know very well why I'm here. Give me ten billion."

Qin Hao didn't reply, but looked at Qin Honghai instead.

Qin Honghai stepped forward: "You should know our family's wealth. One billion is no small sum. We've already started to raise it. Please give us a few more days."

Qin Ran sneered: "You should know what Qin Hao did. He colluded with Kong Zhennan to kill me. Now that Kong Zhennan is dead, I'm already being generous by giving Qin Hao a day to raise the money to buy my life. If he doesn't get the money today, he's not going to live."

Qin Honghai's throat bobbed.

Judging from Qin Ran's stance, there's absolutely no room for negotiation.

What should we do?

Seeing this, Wang Xiufang nodded and bowed again, saying, "Son..."

"Don't call me that! Who's your son! I have nothing to do with your Qin family anymore, and don't try to play the emotional card with me!" Qin Ran scoffed.

"Yes, yes, it's my fault, Young Master Qin. I know Qin Hao was wrong this time. Actually, we didn't know anything about it. If we had known he went to see some underground emperor, we would have broken his legs."

"We really can't come up with a billion right now. Please, for the sake of us raising you, give us a few days."

"Even if you kill Qin Hao now, we still can't come up with a billion..."

While Wang Xiufang said this, she was actually cursing Qin Ran's ancestors for eighteen generations in her heart.

Wait until the Prince of Zhenbei arrives, then we'll see how cocky you are.

You are now only one step away from death.

Qin Ran stood up and sneered, "Wang Xiufang, actually I don't need this 1 billion at all. This amount of money is dispensable to me. I asked you for 1 billion just to make things difficult for you."

"I've long harbored murderous intentions towards Qin Hao. If you have no money, don't blame me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ran waved his hand.

A burst of true energy erupted forth.

The true energy struck Qin Hao.

Qin Hao was sent flying instantly.

He crashed onto the stairs, rolled down, and kept vomiting blood.

Upon seeing this, Wang Xiufang and Qin Honghai immediately rushed over.

"Son, are you alright?"

"Son, don't scare me."

Qin Ran stepped forward.

Seeing that things were not going well, Qin Honghai knelt on the ground: "I know we have wronged you, but after all, we raised you. Could you have grown up without us? Don't try to deny that."

"I don't deny it."

"Since you admit it, then we have done you a favor. We don't ask for anything else, we just want you to give us a few more days. We raised you with so much care, is that not worth a few days?" Qin Honghai looked at Qin Ran with a pleading expression.

Qin Ran stood with his hands behind his back, his expression becoming increasingly mocking.

He knew that even if the Qin family really gave him the billion, his family would still go bankrupt.

Do they really want to go bankrupt?

Qin Ran was also eager to see what tricks they were up to.

"I don't want to waste any more words with you. Just because of what you just said, I can give you a few days' grace. So, how many days do you want?"

Qin Honghai's throat bobbed.

He didn't know when the Prince of Zhenbei would come to Xijing to settle accounts with Qin Ran.

Okay, I'll just pick a number.

The rest is up to fate.

"Five days! Give us five days!"

Qin Ran nodded: "Then I'll give you five days. However, I'll add ten million in interest for each day. After five days, you'll give me one billion five hundred million."

Qin Honghai was so angry that he trembled.

The interest is 50 million in just five days.

They might as well just rob someone.

But he could only grit his teeth and agree.

"I promise you, I'll give you 1.05 billion in five days," Qin Honghai said with a mournful face.

"Remember this, you only have five days. If you can't produce it, Qin Hao will die without a doubt."

After Qin Ran finished speaking, he turned and left.

Qin Honghai and Wang Xiufang breathed a sigh of relief after he left.

Qin Hao lay on the ground, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Qin Ran, you are the one who is destined to die. You won't be able to be so smug for long. When the Prince of Zhenbei arrives, he will definitely cut you into a thousand pieces."

With a roar, Qin Hao spat out another mouthful of blood.

At that moment, he felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest, making it impossible for him to breathe.

Wang Xiufang said anxiously, "Son, don't say anything, we'll take you to the hospital right now."

……

Qin Ran got into the car to go back when his phone rang again. It was Zhou Yuhua.

Could she be calling to invite me to watch the solar eclipse together?

"Hey! Sister Yuhua!"

"Little brother, there's a total solar eclipse tonight. I've found a great spot for us to enjoy it together. After the eclipse, let's have a good chat. I haven't cooked for two days, and I'm really looking forward to it..." Zhou Yuhua's charming voice came from the other end of the phone.
