Qin Ran walked to the opposite side of Chu Qingcheng, pulled out a chair and sat down: "Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the way, so I'm a little late."

"What would you like to drink?" Chu Qingcheng asked, her thin lips slightly parted.

"Just be like you."

Chu Qingcheng looked at the waiter not far away and said, "Another cappuccino, please."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

"Speak, what do you want from me?"

Chu Qingcheng looked at Qin Ran: "I called you here to ask for your help. I have a contest with Chu Wan'er, and I want to win. I hope you can help me."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ran immediately sat up straight and asked with great interest, "What kind of competition?"

"You came from the Dragon Prison, so you should be familiar with Qin Shaohuang, right?"

Qin Shaohuang?

A smile flickered across Qin Ran's lips.

It seems that Chu Qingcheng summoned him here for Qin Shaohuang's sake.

"Of course I'm familiar with Qin Shaohuang."

Chu Qingcheng continued, "According to outside information, Qin Shaohuang has secretly returned to Xijing after leaving the Kunlong Prison. The Chu family wants to find Qin Shaohuang and marry Chu Wan'er to him."

"And Chu Wan'er and I started a competition: whoever found Qin Shaohuang first, Grandpa would marry her off to Qin Shaohuang."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ran couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, interesting, absolutely interesting!"

Just then, the waiter brought over the coffee.

She glanced at Qin Ran, put down the coffee, and left.

Chu Qingcheng lowered her voice and said, "Are you sick? What are you laughing about for no reason!"

"I really don't know where Chu Zhenlong gets his confidence from. Who is Qin Shaohuang? Why should we listen to his arrangements? He may want to marry, but the other party may not want to marry him." Qin Ran scoffed.

"You don't need to worry about that. My grandfather always said that even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. Chu Wan'er is one of the most beautiful women in Xijing. Do you think Qin Shaohuang wouldn't be tempted?"

"I know I'm no less capable than Chu Wan'er, so I want to compete with her for Qin Shaohuang. My grandfather has already agreed that whoever finds Qin Shaohuang first will have priority in choosing him."

Chu Qingcheng said in a serious tone.

Qin Ran took a sip of coffee.

The Chu family is really interesting.

Qin Shaohuang offered himself up to marry Chu Wan'er, but they refused.

Now they're in a hurry to find Qin Shaohuang.

A bunch of stupid dogs!

"So you called me here to find out about Qin Shaohuang?" Qin Ran asked.

"That's right, you came from the Dragon Prison. I was wondering if you'd had a chance to meet Qin Shaohuang?"

Qin Ran replied, "I have seen it, and more than once."

"Really? Looks like I've found the right person. What does he look like? Is he handsome?"

"He's more than just handsome, he's incredibly handsome. It's no exaggeration to say that he's captivated countless girls, and he's just as handsome as me," Qin Ran said leisurely.

Chu Qingcheng looked disgusted after hearing this.

This guy really knows how to pat himself on the back.

He was just a labor camp inmate.

Qin Shaohuang, on the other hand, is the son of darkness in the Dragon Prison, a powerful figure with immense influence. How could he possibly be compared to him?

"Qin Ran, I admit you're excellent, but you're far inferior to Qin Shaohuang. Please don't tarnish my idol!"

"Let me tell you something else. Based on my understanding of Qin Shaohuang, if he really had to choose between you and Chu Wan'er, he would choose you," Qin Ran said deliberately.

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingcheng immediately lost her composure: "You...you're telling the truth?"

"Of course."

Chu Qingcheng was extremely excited.

This made her determined to find Qin Shaohuang before the Chu family could!

"Do you know where Qin Shaohuang went after leaving the Dragon Prison? If you know, please tell me, and I will definitely repay you," Chu Qingcheng said sincerely.

Qin Ran knew why Chu Qingcheng wanted to marry Qin Shaohuang.

Ultimately, it all comes down to her experiences.

She is Chu Jindong's illegitimate daughter.

Over the years, he must have suffered all sorts of scorn and grievances in the Chu family.

So she wanted to establish her authority; she wanted to hold her head high in front of the Chu family and be an upright person.

Qin Ran felt great sympathy for Chu Qingcheng's plight.

She also admired this woman.

Since that's the case, let's give her a chance and let her be her own woman.

"I'll tell you since you're so sincere."

"Do you really know where Qin Shaohuang is?" Chu Qingcheng's voice trembled with excitement.

Qin Ran beckoned to her with his finger: "Come here!"

Chu Qingcheng leaned her head closer.

"Young Master Qin is sitting right across from you!" Qin Ran said, raising an eyebrow.

Chu Qingcheng's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. She smoothed her hair and sighed helplessly, "Qin Ran, that joke isn't funny at all. Do you even consider yourself humorous?"

"Use your brain and think about it. My surname is Qin, and Qin Shaohuang's surname is also Qin. We both came from the Kunlong Prison. Doesn't that explain everything?" Qin Ran said, spreading his hands.

"According to you, everyone in Xijing with the surname Chu is my relative. Please, do you know where Qin Shaohuang went? If you do, please tell me." Chu Qingcheng's tone was pleading.

"I've already said it, if you don't believe me, that's fine. As for the rest, I don't know anything else."

Chu Qingcheng was speechless: "I was so stupid to actually try to find out Qin Shaohuang's whereabouts from you. I overestimated you. I have to go now."

After saying that, Chu Qingcheng took her handbag and left.

Qin Ran saw her walk to the door and suddenly remembered something: "You haven't paid the bill yet."

Chu Qingcheng reluctantly went to the front desk to pay the bill.

Such a man, utterly lacking in gentlemanly manners, dares to call himself Qin Shaohuang; it's utterly ridiculous.

He's not even worthy to carry Qin Shaohuang's shoes.

After paying the bill, Chu Qingcheng left without looking back.

Qin Ran watched Chu Qingcheng's figure disappear from his sight.

He wasn't worried that Chu Qingcheng would lose the competition.

Because Chu Wan'er had no chance of finding Qin Shaohuang.

The best is yet to come; let's play along and see what happens.

Qin Ran sat for a while, then left the coffee shop.

……

Time quickly passed and evening arrived.

Qin Ran originally wanted to have dinner with Gu Xinrou.

But I couldn't get through to her on her phone.

Qin Ran guessed that she might be busy, so he ate by himself.

After dinner, Qin Ran planned to go out for a walk and inquire whether the Huangfu family had found the mole.

Just then, her phone rang; it was Gu Xinrou.

"I was planning to invite you to dinner, but I couldn't get through to your phone."

"Young Master Qin, do you...do you have time now?"

Qin Ran quickly realized that Gu Xinrou's voice was off: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Come to Tuanshan West Road in the north of the city. There's an abandoned factory here. I'm here, and Zhang Quan is here too."

Zhang Quan?

Qin Ran frowned slightly.

That vice president who got fired last time!

It seems he kidnapped Gu Xinrou.

"Xinrou, hang in there, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Ran grabbed her car keys and rushed out the door.

Xi'an is very large. The place Gu Xinrou mentioned is in the northern suburbs, at least 30 kilometers away from the main urban area.

Qin Ran drove his Mercedes-Benz G-Class onto the highway and sped off.

He arrived at his destination in about half an hour.

It was pitch black here, except for the lights on in the factory building in front.

Several SUVs were parked at the factory gate.

Qin Ran got out of the car and headed straight for the factory entrance.

Upon closer inspection, Gu Xinrou was found tied to a pillar.

She was surrounded by more than a dozen burly men.

Two of the burly men were holding wolfhounds on leashes.

Zhang Quan, on the other hand, sat leisurely in his chair.

The wolfhound howled incessantly when it saw Qin Ran enter.

The barking of dogs echoed throughout the vast factory.

Gu Xinrou was so frightened that she trembled.

Qin Ran's eyes flashed with a cold light as he walked towards the other side.

Zhang Quan stood up, a mocking smile on his face. "Kid, you got here pretty fast. Looks like this woman's charm is really something else. One phone call from her and you're all running off to your death, hahaha!"

"I hate it when people mess with the people around me. You can come at me, but if you dare to touch the people around me, I'll make sure you die a horrible death." Qin Ran's murderous aura grew stronger and stronger.

Zhang Quan angrily retorted, "Go to hell! Don't try to scare me. I've done some research these past two days, and you're just a stinking convict."

"I don't know how you got involved with the former chairman, but I've already left the Black Emperor Group, so I don't need to worry about that anymore!"

"You ruined my future, do you think I'll let you get away with this?"

"I'll kill you first and throw you into the sea to feed the fish, then I'll rape and kill that bitch Gu Xinrou a hundred times..."

Zhang Quan appears to be very irritable.

He originally had a bright future in the Black Emperor Consortium.

But they were all ruined by Qin Ran.

When he discovered Qin Ran's identity, he flew into a rage.

He was a high-ranking executive of the Black Emperor Consortium, but in the end, he was brought down by a convict.

He would feel humiliated for the rest of his life if he didn't kill Qin Ran.

Qin Ran remained calm: "Consider what you just said as your last words."

"You're about to die and you're still spouting nonsense!" Zhang Quan shouted to the surroundings, "Attack him! Kill this convict! Cut off his dog's head! Whoever cuts off Qin Ran's dog's head will get a million-dollar reward!"
