Chu Qingcheng's expression was very unpleasant: "I can handle this myself, I don't need anyone's help."

"Then hurry up and finalize the endorsement deal. Grandpa's still waiting for news. If you can't handle Li Yuyan, you'll have to explain to Grandpa yourself." Sun Qing said and turned to leave.

After listening to their conversation, Qin Ran's expression turned playful.

At that moment, his mind was perfectly clear.

Chu Qingcheng looked at Qin Ran: "If you have nothing else to do, you can leave now. I still have work to do."

"I don't know whether to call you stupid or naive. Sun Qing is clearly trying to sow discord between us. She said that on purpose just now. If you believe her, you've fallen into her trap," Qin Ran said expressionlessly.

"I know what she means, but she's right. I have been relying on you a lot before, but I have to learn to handle problems on my own. That's my thinking."

Qin Ran stood up and said, "Then I wish you good luck. I'll be going now."

After saying that, Qin Ran turned and left.

At this critical juncture, Chu Qingcheng wouldn't listen to anything he said.

We have to let her experience the setbacks herself.

I'll wait until she's covered in bumps before I help her.

Of course, Qin Ran also hoped that Chu Qingcheng could really resolve this matter.

In that case, the Chu family will definitely look at her with new respect.

After leaving the Chu family, Qin Ran returned home.

At the same time, Su Qingyi also got up.

She was watching TV in the living room.

"Senior sister, have you had breakfast yet?"

"I've already eaten. Where did you go just now?" Su Qingyi asked.

"I went to the Chu Group to visit a friend."

"Oh, I'm so bored. How about we go out for a walk?"

Qin Ran nodded: "I'll take you to my resort."

The two then drove to the resort.

Qin Ran had already explained this to Tang Da.

Tell him to send someone to manage the resort.

Tang Da immediately put it into practice.

The resort's current general manager is named Xu Wei.

He is usually in charge of the resort's business.

Xu Wei immediately went to greet Qin Ran and Su Qingyi when he saw them approaching: "Mr. Qin, hello, my name is Xu Wei, and I am the newly appointed general manager of the resort."

"I've heard Tang Da mention you before, so you'll have to keep an eye on you in the future."

"It's what I should do."

Qin Ran continued, "You go ahead and do your work, we'll just wander around on our own."

"Okay, then I won't bother you any longer. Just call me if you need anything." Xu Wei said and left.

At the same time, Qin Ran sensed that something was wrong.

The atmosphere here is a bit strange.

He couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange about it.

"Junior brother, this place is so beautiful, I really like it."

"If you like it, I'll show you around."

Qin Ran took Su Qingyi for a stroll around the resort.

They strolled around, chatting as they went.

It was noon before we knew it.

Xu Wei arranged a sumptuous lunch for them.

Furthermore, Xu Wei served Qin Ran and Su Qingyi their meal the entire time.

"Don't bother with your work, sit down and eat with us," Qin Ran invited.

"Mr. Qin, you're too kind. I'm not worthy to dine with you."

"From now on, we're family. Don't be so polite, sit down and eat with us."

Xu Wei couldn't refuse any longer: "Then I'll respectfully accept your offer."

Taking this opportunity, Qin Ran also had a few drinks with Xu Wei.

"Is the resort doing well lately? Has anything happened?"

"Everything is normal, but a few strange guests checked in the night before last."

"What's strange about it?" Qin Ran asked.

Xu Wei continued, "I always felt that these people's behavior was very suspicious. When they came, they brought a huge box. Because the box was too big, it could not be placed indoors and had to be placed outdoors. Four people guarded that box day and night, and we don't know what was inside."

Qin Ran looked thoughtful after hearing this.

It's obvious that the box contains something valuable.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have people guarding it 24 hours a day.

If it's the guest's own treasure, Qin Ran naturally has no right to interfere.

But if it's something contraband or of unknown origin, then it's a different story.

Just to be on the safe side, we should still go and take a look.

"After we finish eating, take me to see it."

"OK."

After finishing their meal, Qin Ran, Su Qingyi, and Xu Wei left the restaurant.

Xu Wei led the way.

They arrived at the very back of the resort.

There was a lush green golf course there.

There weren't many people on the court at that spot.

"Look, they're right there," Xu Wei pointed ahead.

Qin Ran looked in the direction he was pointing.

There were indeed four people wandering around a box.

Qin Ran and the others walked over.

The four men in black immediately became alert when they saw someone approaching.

"Who are you people?" the man in sunglasses asked.

"Let me introduce you. This is the owner of our resort; his surname is Qin!"

At the same time, Qin Ran also began to examine the wooden box.

This wooden box is very large.

Two characters were pasted across the seal of the box.

The characters were covered with some strange symbols.

It seems to have acted as a seal.

Qin Ran and Su Qingyi exchanged a glance.

At this moment, both of them felt that the contents of the box were unusual, like some kind of evil object.

Seeing Qin Ran staring intently at the box, the bespectacled man asked, "Boss Qin, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Excuse me, but what's in the box?"

"These contain Mr. Kong's personal belongings," the man in sunglasses said to Qin Ran.

"Could you open it and let me take a look?"

"No, I said this is personal property, no one is allowed to see it."

The more they acted this way, the more Qin Ran felt there was something wrong.

Qin Ran looked at the men in black opposite him: "In principle, we have no right to inquire about the guests' personal belongings, but we are also worried that there may be some contraband hidden here, so just to be on the safe side, we have to check."

"I said no, can't you understand human language? Get out of here!" the man in sunglasses snapped.

Qin Ran sneered: "This is my territory. You want me to leave? I'm going to investigate today."

The man in sunglasses also knew this was Qin Ran's territory.

He didn't want to confront Qin Ran directly.

"Wait a moment, I'll call our General Manager Kong now."

The man in sunglasses took out his phone and dialed a number.

After making the call, he told Qin Ran that the owner of the box would be there soon.

About ten minutes later, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie walked over.

His name is Kong Mingqiu.

A long-haired man wearing a trench coat was also following Kong Mingqiu.

Qin Ran didn't pay much attention to Kong Mingqiu.

He focused his attention on the long-haired man.

This man doesn't look like an assistant, nor does he look like a bodyguard.

Qin Ran felt that this person was somewhat like a sorcerer.

The man in sunglasses leaned close to Kong Mingqiu's ear and whispered something to him.

He recounted what had just happened.

After hearing this, Kong Mingqiu smiled and looked at Qin Ran: "Hello, Boss Qin, my name is Kong Mingqiu, and this is my business card."

Qin Ran accepted the business card.

It turns out this guy is the head of a logistics company.

That means they were responsible for shipping the contents of the box.

"Mr. Kong, could you tell me what's in this box?" Qin Ran asked Kong Mingqiu.

"I can't tell you this because I signed a confidentiality agreement, but don't worry, there are no contraband items inside. We are responsible for escorting it, and the people from the Culture and Tourism Bureau will come this afternoon to take the box away," Kong Mingqiu said with a smile.

"Is this what the Culture and Tourism Bureau wants?"

"Yes, we are only responsible for escorting the goods. They will come to pick them up this afternoon."

Qin Ran nodded thoughtfully.

He glanced subconsciously at the two characters on the box.

"If I'm not mistaken, these two crossed characters aren't for sealing the box, but for suppressing what's inside. It's probably some kind of evil thing inside."

Upon hearing this, the man in the trench coat's eyes instantly sharpened like knives.

Just who is this kid?

How could they know these things?

Just as Kong Mingqiu was about to reply, his phone suddenly rang.
