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

The following evening, Qin Ran took Gu Xinrou to Zuo Renchao's manor.

On the way, he told Gu Xinrou about the Tian family's affairs.

The old man of the Tian family contracted a carbuncle and boil.

No one can cure this poison.

However, Qin Ran cured Tian Zhennan of the poison.

As the ones who poisoned the food, the Zuo family must already know the outcome.

If someone can cure blood boils and carbuncles, they will definitely investigate to find out who it is.

Qin Ran remembered that day when he and Tian Lina swaggered into the Tian family home.

So many eyes are watching.

With just a little investigation, the Zuo family could find out that it was he who cured Tian Zhennan.

Including what happened at the resort last time.

With new grudges and old hatreds combined, the Zuo family will surely strike hard.

Qin Ran was also looking forward to it.

He wanted to see how the Zuo family would treat him.

The two chatted happily along the way.

They soon arrived at Zuo Renchao's manor.

Upon entering the manor, they were led by a staff member to the venue where the birthday banquet was being held.

The banquet hall was sparkling with stars.

Zuo Renchao invited a lot of people.

Gu Xinrou quickly spotted Gu Yuanshen in the crowd.

He's here too.

Gu Xinrou's face quickly darkened.

Zuo Renchao saw Qin Ran and Gu Xinrou walking towards him.

"You two are here."

Gu Xinrou said, "Young Master Zuo, I've been quite busy today and haven't prepared a gift for you. I hope you don't mind."

"I won't mind this little thing. Your presence is a great gift to me." Zuo Renchao smiled with a hint of malice.

Qin Ran chimed in, "You've made quite a grand entrance."

"I have many business partners in Xi'an, and I invited them all I could."

"I know exactly what you're planning by specifically asking Gu Xinrou to bring me along. You don't need to go through all this trouble. Just find a place and we'll settle things properly," Qin Ran said sinisterly.

"Hahaha, Qin Ran, you're judging me by my own petty standards. I've long forgotten about what happened last time. After all, you're my fiancée's friend, and I, Zuo Renchao, am not that petty."

fiancée?

Both Qin Ran and Gu Xinrou were surprised by these words.

"Your fiancée? Who is your fiancée?" Gu Xinrou asked.

"Of course it's you. Who else could it be?"

Gu Xinrou laughed in anger: "Zuo Renchao, how could I possibly be your fiancée? Don't be delusional. I already made it very clear last time that you're not my type."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a dignified voice came from the other end: "This is my decision, not yours."

Gu Yuanshen walked towards us.

Gu Xinrou sneered: "Stop daydreaming. You think you can control me? That's wishful thinking."

"I don't want to control you; I'm guiding you onto the right path. Now that you have a career, the next thing you need is a suitable husband."

"Young Master Zuo is both talented and handsome, and the Zuo family is a top family in Kyoto. Such a good in-law family is hard to find even with a lantern. I can't just watch you ruin your future because of your willfulness," Gu Yuanshen said with a stern face.

Gu Xinrou found it laughable.

That guy is always like that.

Selfish and self-righteous.

Unfortunately, she was no longer a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

I will no longer be manipulated by Gu Yuanshen.

"You talk a good game, but listen carefully: if you really want to get married, marry Zuo Renchao yourself. I'll treat everything you say as bullshit."

"How dare you! You're utterly lawless! How dare you speak to me like that?" Gu Yuanshen roared.

"I can't be bothered to listen to your nonsense." Gu Xinrou looked at Qin Ran: "Let's go."

Qin Ran stopped Gu Xinrou, saying, "Since you're here, don't rush to leave."

Gu Xinrou remained silent, her face dark.

At the same time, Zuo Renchao said to Gu Yuanshen, "Uncle Gu, let's go and make some preparations too."

"Young Master Zuo, please!"

"please!"

The two left side by side.

Gu Xinrou shook off Qin Ran's hand: "Why won't you let me leave? I can't stay here for even a second longer."

"Hold your breath, or you'll miss a great show."

"What do you mean!"

"Zuo Renchao has already dug a pit, waiting for us to jump in. Tonight is not a birthday party at all, but a gamble to kill two birds with one stone." Qin Ran looked at Gu Xinrou.

"Please be more specific, I still don't quite understand."

Qin Ran smiled and said, "The so-called 'killing two birds with one stone' means that I can both capture you and eliminate me."

"I see, I understand now. Gu Yuanshen and Zuo Renchao were in cahoots."

"That's right, just keep watching, the best is yet to come."

Afterwards, Qin Ran and Gu Xinrou each took a glass of champagne and found a place to sit down.

About half an hour later.

Zuo Renchao and Gu Yuanshen went on stage.

Seeing this, everyone gathered around.

Zuo Renchao first gave his remarks.

Thank you all for coming to his birthday party.

Gu Yuanshen then announced the marriage between Zuo Renchao and his daughter Gu Xinrou.

Everyone applauded and offered their blessings.

These two are truly a perfect match.

This action thoroughly enraged Gu Xinrou.

She got up and stormed over.

Seeing this, Qin Ran followed.

"Gu Yuanshen, don't force me to sever our father-daughter relationship. Who gave you the audacity to make such a fuss?" Gu Xinrou retorted angrily.

Upon hearing this, everyone began to discuss it in hushed tones.

They all knew Gu Xinrou.

This is the president of the Xijing branch of the Black Emperor Consortium.

But her attitude towards her father is incredibly ill-mannered.

"You unfilial son, how dare you be so rude to me in public! You hang out with a convict every day, look at the state you've become!" Gu Yuanshen said angrily.

Zuo Renchao chimed in, "Qin Ran, stay away from my fiancée. You've been seducing and harassing her, even brainwashing her. I've tolerated you time and time again, but now I'm not going to. Today I'm going to assert my ownership over you."

These words immediately sparked whispers among the crowd.

They were all accusing Qin Ran of being shameless.

He actually seduced someone else's fiancée.

Moreover, he was a convict.

No wonder Gu Xinrou was so unreasonable.

She must have been led astray by him.

They really take themselves way too seriously.

Qin Ran didn't care at all about the criticism from the crowd.

"Zuo Renchao, I didn't expect you to be so clever, but these little tricks you've used are nothing compared to absolute power. I'll show you that the clown is yourself," Qin Ran said, looking at Zuo Renchao.

"I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Men, throw this pretty boy who's trying to seduce my fiancée out of here."

The next second, five or six men in black rushed over.

Qin Ran naturally didn't take these people seriously.

He struck hard, one punch after another.

All the men in black were knocked away.

Everyone was astonished at the sight.

At the same time, Qin Ran frowned.

A strong aura of true energy permeated the surroundings.

It seems there are still experts out there.

The next second, Jingxuan came out.

Qin Ran's gaze locked onto the monk.

It seems he's the main attraction tonight.

"Master Jingxuan, you must do justice for me! This Qin Ran stole my fiancée and injured my men. You must rid the people of this scourge and teach him a lesson today!" Zuo Renchao began his performance.

Jingxuan looked at Qin Ran with deep eyes: "Amitabha, benefactor, fate is determined by heaven. Why do you do this? Let go of your obsession and turn back to the right path."

"Hahaha, it's such a waste that you guys aren't in Hollywood! Your acting skills are superb, unparalleled! I really want to give you an award!" Qin Ran suddenly stopped smiling. "Old bald monk, stop acting and get to work. Let your Grandpa Qin have some fun with you."

Jingxuan's eyes instantly sharpened like knives: "You! Are! Looking for! Death!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jingxuan stomped her foot on the ground.

The floor tiles shattered instantly.

The entire hall was shaken.

The raging true energy transformed into a transparent giant dragon, leaping high up along the ground and heading straight for Qin Ran.

Qin Ran dared not underestimate his opponent; this monk was not easy to deal with...
