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

Kang Jian, in one fell swoop, shifted all the blame onto Qi Xiaotian.

Anyway, Qi Xiaotian is already dead, so there's no way to verify anything.

Only by shifting all the blame onto Qi Xiaotian can the Kang family have a chance to survive.

Qin Ran stared at Kang Jian: "You're quite clever, kid. Qi Xiaotian is dead, and you've shifted all the blame onto him, but you weren't like this when Qi Xiaotian was alive."

"I didn't see the slightest sign of you being threatened or coerced. On the contrary, you're spouting nonsense at me. How do you explain that?"

Kang Jian was so frightened that sweat poured down his forehead.

If the answer is not good.

Qin Ran will definitely make a move.

Kang Jian had a sudden inspiration: instead of making excuses, he should tell the truth.

"Mr. Qin, I don't want to lie to you either. Although the Kang family was forced into this situation, Qi Xiaotian said that he will definitely kill you."

"After all, you killed hundreds of martial artists from our Kang family. It's impossible for us not to be angry with you."

"However, we have now seen your strength. If you are lenient, we will compensate you in addition to this resort."

Kang Dingxiu quickly chimed in, "My grandson is right. I'll give you an extra 10 billion as compensation. What do you think?"

Qin Ran's face showed amusement.

He thought Kang Jian would continue to make excuses to avoid it.

But to my surprise, he told the truth.

With the Kang family willing to give another 10 billion, it's something worth considering.

"Listen up, hand over another 10 billion, and I'll spare your lives for now. But if you anger me again in the future, I'll take your lives at any time."

"Mr. Qin, rest assured, this is definitely the last time, there will absolutely be no next time," Kang Dingxiu said to Qin Ran.

"Get out of here. Bring 10 billion here tomorrow."

"No problem, I'll send someone to deliver it tomorrow."

After Kang Dingxiu finished speaking, he called the other members of the Kang family to leave.

Even though deep down I long to escape this place of trouble.

But they dared not show it at all.

The group slowly got into the car, and Kang Jian drove away himself.

Gu Xinrou looked at Qin Ran: "So this is how you usually make money."

"That's right, I've already shown mercy by not taking their lives. What's wrong with making them pay some money? Ten billion is nothing to a family like theirs."

"That's good too. If you really wiped out the Kang family, it would cause you a lot of trouble."

Qin Ran looked at Gu Xinrou: "I showed mercy because I knew Qi Xiaotian was the one who went to them. If the Kang family finds out that Qi Xiaotian has fallen into the demonic path and wants him to kill me, then I will definitely not let them go!"

"How can you be so sure that Qi Xiaotian took the initiative to go to the Kang family?" Gu Xinrou asked.

"Last time I destroyed Qi Xiaotian's dantian, and he was dismissed from his post in the Northern Territory. Then he disappeared without a trace. The Kang family couldn't find him, so I concluded that Qi Xiaotian took the initiative to go to the Kang family," Qin Ran explained.

Gu Xinrou nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Seeing that it was getting late, they prepared to go back to their rooms to rest.

Before leaving, Qin Ran told those people.

They can continue working here.

Tonight's events will remain completely unaffected.

Everyone was delighted to hear this.

As for the things that were damaged tonight, he'll find someone to fix them tomorrow.

Zhang Kehua is dead.

Qin Ran plans to select a new person in charge.

He wants to replace everyone at the resort with his own people.

……

The next morning.

Gu Xinrou and Chu Qingcheng then left the resort.

Around 10 a.m., Tang Da arrived.

"Mr. Qin, is there something you need me for?"

"We need someone in charge here. Please make the arrangements, and then we can have lunch together," Qin Ran said.

Tangda asked incredulously, "This resort is also one of your properties?"

"Yes! So now I need someone to manage this place, you can make the arrangements."

"No problem, I'll arrange it for you later."

Qin Ran looked at Tang Da: "I killed Qi Xiaotian last night."

"You destroyed his dantian before, why did you still kill him? He is the Prince of Zhenbei, killing him will cause trouble."

"He is no longer the Prince of Zhenbei. Moreover, he has entered the demonic path. The people of the demonic path helped him rebuild his dantian and also granted him stronger cultivation."

Tang Da nodded: "Then Qi Xiaotian comes to you for revenge, and you kill him."

"Yes, that's it."

"So the demonic path has become clever; they've started using puppets to deal with you."

Qin Ran said, "They have indeed become smarter. The demonic path knows that I have ancient divine power within me, so they also bestowed a powerful force upon Qi Xiaotian to fight against me."

"Last night, I fought Qi Xiaotian and experienced his power firsthand. It was very strong; even a grandmaster would not be his match."

Tang Da looked at Qin Ran: "Mr. Qin, it seems we have no way back."

"What? Are you scared?"

"No, my purpose in life is to avenge the Tang family. The demonic path is our common enemy, and I will stand with you through thick and thin."

Qin Ran patted Tang Da on the shoulder: "The road ahead will be tough, you need to be mentally prepared."

"I was prepared long ago."

"Unfortunately, I only have half of the Twin Dragon Jade Pendant now. The other half is with my sister, but I don't know where she is, and I'm not even sure if she's still alive."

Qin Ran sighed slightly after speaking.

Previously, members of the demonic path wanted to use the Qin family to take away the Twin Dragon Jade Pendant.

But he saw through it.

Qin Ran killed that demonic cultivator.

Before he died, he revealed the secret of the Twin Dragon Jade Pendant.

The Twin Dragon Jade Pendant is a key to a place called the Cold Extreme Mysterious Cave.

The fourth ancient artifact needed by the demonic path is hidden there.

Qin Ran had no idea where the Cold Extreme Cave was.

He also failed to find his sister and obtain the other double-dragon jade pendant.

If Qin Ran finds his sister, obtains the other jade pendant, and knows the location of the Cold-level Mysterious Cave, he can successfully retrieve the ancient artifact inside.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

Now, we still haven't found my younger sister, and we don't know where the Cold Extreme Cave is.

Both ends are empty.

"Mr. Qin, some things depend on fate. When the time is right, everything will fall into place. I believe that there is a plan in the universe," Tang Da said earnestly.

Qin Ran smiled and said, "That's the only way I can comfort myself. I hope our wishes will come true."

The two were chatting.

The Kang family sent someone to deliver a bank card with 10 billion yuan.

Qin Ran took the money and sent the errand boy away.

Afterwards, he took Tang Da for a walk around.

The two had lunch together at noon.

……

Meanwhile, the Chu Group.

Sun Qing sat in her office, feeling sullen.

She was also present when Qi Xiaotian visited the Kang family last time.

Qi Xiaotian seemed confident that he could kill Qin Ran.

But in the end, he still died at Qin Ran's hands.

Sun Qing also learned from the Kang family that they had given Qin Ran another 10 billion yuan as compensation.

This incident completely devastated her.

Sun Qing could no longer come up with a way to deal with Qin Ran.

Just then, the office door opened.

Chu Wan'er walked in.

"Mom, it's lunchtime, let's go eat."

"Go ahead, I'm not hungry."

"What's wrong? You seem so downcast!" Chu Wan'er noticed something was amiss.

"Wan'er, you need to be prepared that Chu Qingcheng will take everything away from you in the near future," Sun Qing said.

"She's just an illegitimate child, and her grandfather isn't stupid; he won't give her much power."

"You're too naive. With Qin Ran's help, Chu Qingcheng has already obtained shares in the Chu Group. They won't stop there, and I can't stop Qin Ran from helping Chu Qingcheng. Our future will be very tragic." Sun Qing sighed after saying this.

Chu Wan'er kept looking at Sun Qing.

She had never seen Sun Qing so frustrated.

It seems the other side really has no other way to deal with Qin Ran.

Gradually, Chu Wan'er also realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Mom, don't be discouraged. Let's keep thinking of ways. I believe we will find a good way to curb Chu Qingcheng's development in the Chu family."

There's only one way now.

"What method?"

Sun Qing held Chu Wan'er's hand: "You can find a husband who is unparalleled in the world and use your in-laws to suppress Chu Qingcheng."

"Didn't we say we were going to find Qin Shaohuang? We ended up making such a big fool of ourselves." Chu Wan'er lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Forget about Qin Shaohuang. Find a different target. Go find a man who is even better than Qin Shaohuang. This is our only chance to turn the tide," Sun Qing said meaningfully.

Chu Wan'er's expression was somewhat solemn.

It's definitely not a coincidence that Sun Qing could say that.

She has already foreseen the future situation.

It seems I really need to step up my game.

No matter what, we cannot lose to Chu Qingcheng.

Even if I were to neglect someone else, I wouldn't let myself be neglected by an illegitimate daughter...
