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

Ten billion?

Upon hearing this number, the crowd erupted in boos.

In order not to lose to Shao Wenzhong, Qin Ran directly raised the price to 10 billion.

Listen to what Qiao Ling'er just said.

This should be Qin Ran's total net worth.

He spent all his money to bid for the Kusanagi Sword.

This guy's gone mad.

And he was completely insane.

Tian Lina, sitting in the back row, seemed quite speechless.

Qin Ran is just a hothead.

He simply doesn't have the ability to challenge Shao Wenzhong.

They still insisted on putting on a brave face.

That's truly ignorant and foolish.

At the same time, Qin Ran also sensed a crisis.

He and Qiao Ling'er were just putting on a show, pretending that he was about to go bankrupt.

If Shao Wenzhong had believed it at this point...

He genuinely believed he was putting all his assets into the bidding.

If Shao Wenzhong doesn't raise prices to avoid going bankrupt, he'll be finished.

While meditating, Qin Ran felt extremely panicked.

Shao Wenzhong, you must continue to follow along!

If you don't go with me, you'll be in big trouble.

Shao Wenzhong looked at Qin Ran and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, you stupid idiot, today I'm going to make you the clown of the whole place. I'll bet 12 billion, go ahead and keep going if you dare."

After speaking, Shao Wenzhong raised the sign.

Qin Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Fortunately, Old Deng continued to make offers.

Otherwise, he would really suffer a huge loss.

Qiao Ling'er leaned closer: "Mr. Qin, should we continue?"

"Follow me for what? I'm not following anymore. You just said we'd go bankrupt if we kept following, and I went ahead without thinking. It's actually very dangerous. We can't keep following."

Qiao Ling'er nodded and didn't say anything more.

The auctioneer on stage asked, "Mr. Qin, would you like to continue bidding?"

"No more, I don't want this sword anymore, give it to Shao Wenzhong," Qin Ran said, crossing his legs.

"Okay! 12 billion once, 12 billion twice, 12 billion three times, deal."

The auctioneer brought down the gavel, and the item was sold.

Qin Ran felt very happy.

He can take a 20% commission of 12 billion, which is 2.4 billion.

I made 2.4 billion tonight with ease, it's so awesome!

Qin Ran originally planned to raise the price to over 15 billion.

But the risk was too great, so he decided to give up.

Looking at Shao Wenzhong again, he sneered at Qin Ran: "Kid, you were so capable just now, why didn't you keep raising the price? Trying to steal my treasure? Do you even have the right?"

"Chairman Shao is indeed wealthy and powerful; I accept my defeat wholeheartedly," Qin Ran said deliberately.

"It's too late to back down now. Wait until we get off the ship, then I'll see how I deal with you."

Qin Ran smiled but didn't reply.

The auction then continued.

Qin Ran was not interested in the next few items that were put up for auction.

He earned 2.4 billion tonight, which is enough for him.

After the auction ended, everyone left the venue one after another.

Qin Ran and Qiao Ling'er were preparing to go to Hong Quanlei to get the money.

Qiao Ling'er, however, was filled with worry.

I didn't get to photograph Qin Ran's favorite item tonight.

He definitely wouldn't agree to take me as his apprentice.

"Mr. Qin..." Qiao Ling'er suddenly stopped.

Qin Ran looked at her: "What's wrong?"

"I didn't get any photos of the items you liked, so are you not going to take me on as your apprentice anymore?"

Qin Ran thought for a moment and said, "Although there's no one I like tonight, I'm still quite happy that you brought me here and helped me make a lot of money."

"You mean you'd like to take me as your apprentice?"

"I can agree, but I can't be there whenever you call. And what I teach you and what I don't teach you is up to me."

Qiao Ling'er nodded repeatedly: "No problem, I'll do whatever you say."

"Let's go find Hong Quanlei."

Soon, Qin Ran and Qiao Ling'er arrived at Hong Quanlei's lounge.

Hong Quanlei was very satisfied with Qin Ran's performance tonight.

12 billion, which has already exceeded 10 billion.

As agreed, he was to receive 20% of Qin Ran's commission.

Hong Quanlei then took out the prepared bank card and handed it to Qin Ran.

"Mr. Qin, there is 2.4 billion in this card. There is no password. You can keep it."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Qin Ran accepted the card.

"I was watching live the whole time, and I was really worried for you. I have to say, your acting skills are pretty good."

"Master Hong, you flatter me. Life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills."

"Hahaha, then I wish us a pleasant collaboration."

After Hong Quanlei finished speaking, he extended his right hand.

Qin Ran also shook hands with him.

After receiving the money, Qin Ran and Qiao Ling'er left.

Qin Ran checked his account at the ATM on the cruise ship and found that he indeed had 2.4 billion in his account.

It seems that this Master Hong is quite trustworthy.

He also enjoys dealing with people like that.

After the auction, the cruise ship prepared to return to port.

Tonight's auction has once again made Hong Quanlei a fortune.

The cruise ship arrived at the port in the early hours of the morning.

Everyone disembarked from the cruise ship.

Qiao Ling'er exchanged a few pleasantries with Qin Ran and then drove away.

Qin Ran didn't plan to leave in a hurry.

His gaze remained fixed on Tian Lina and Qiu Miaohan, who were not far away.

Seeing the two get into the car, a mischievous smile crept across Qin Ran's lips.

He then drove after them.

"Mom, Qin Ran really lost face tonight," Qiao Ling'er complained.

"He is somewhat capable, but he is too young, arrogant, and likes to do things his own way. That is his biggest flaw," Tian Lina said, leaning against the back of the Cullinan with her eyes closed.

Qiu Miaohan turned to look at Tian Lina.

She couldn't help but think of what had happened in the bathroom earlier.

She heard Shao Wenzhong's words clearly at the time.

Shao Wenzhong said that Qin Ran and Tian Lina were hugging and cuddling at the bathroom door.

She hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to ask.

"Mom, what exactly did you and Qin Ran do outside the restroom on the cruise ship?"

Tian Lina appeared calm. She slightly opened her eyes and said, "I didn't do anything. I slipped and almost fell. Qin Ran helped me up, and Shao Wenzhong happened to come over. He said that Qin Ran and I were hugging and cuddling. It's that simple."

Is that really the case?

"Of course it's true! What else did you think it was?" Tian Lina turned the tables and took the initiative.

Qiu Miaohan pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.

She understood Tian Lina's temperament.

If you push her too far, the consequences will be severe.

After arriving home, Tian Lina and Qiu Miaohan went to their respective rooms.

Tian Lina sat in front of the vanity mirror and began to remove her makeup.

Before she knew it, Qin Ran's handsome face reappeared in her mind.

Aside from her tendency to act impulsively, Qin Ran was quite satisfied with everything else.

Especially the last time in bed.

Just thinking about that scene makes Tian Lina blush.

After removing her makeup, she went to the bathroom.

After taking a shower, she changed into a black lace nightgown.

Back in her room, Tian Lina stared at the bed with a look of horror on her face.

At this moment, Qin Ran was leaning against her large bed, casually flipping through a magazine.

"You've finished your shower," Qin Ran said with a smile.

"Who gave you the right to come into my room and lie on my bed? Get up right now!" Tian Lina said, clearly annoyed.

"You'd better keep your voice down, or you'll be in big trouble if Qiu Miaohan hears you." Qin Ran sat up straight and tossed the magazine onto the bedside table.
