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

Chu Qingcheng and Ding Hui exchanged contact information.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ding Hui left.

Qin Ran and the others took the elevator upstairs.

Once upstairs, they each went back to their rooms.

Qin Ran walked to the balcony and looked at the scenery outside.

He decided to visit Hunter Tower Village again tonight.

Let's see if what Wang Meng said is true or false.

If it's fake, then there's no need for them to investigate further.

I can go back tomorrow.

But in the end, it was Chu Qingcheng who made the decision.

Time flew by and it was evening.

Ding Hui had already booked a private room at the hotel.

He invited Chu Qingcheng to have dinner together.

Chu Qingcheng also invited Qin Ran and others.

Ding Hui readily agreed.

After all, they were together.

Upon arriving at the private room, Ding Hui invited them to sit down and then asked the waiter to serve the dishes.

The group chatted while eating.

Qin Ran and the others weren't familiar with Ding Hui either, so they didn't chat much.

Only Chu Qingcheng and Ding Hui chatted intermittently.

Ding Hui was very enthusiastic throughout, constantly serving food to Chu Qingcheng.

Qin Ran could tell that this guy was interested in Chu Qingcheng.

During their conversation, Ding Hui learned that Chu Qingcheng was now the president of the Chu Group and had a specific project under her charge.

I came here specifically to investigate a tourism project.

Chu Qingcheng also told Ding Hui what had happened that afternoon.

After learning about this, Ding Hui began to express his opinions at length.

"Qingcheng, based on your description, I think this tourism development project has potential. Young people nowadays are very curious, and places with beautiful scenery and unique attractions are their first choice for travel."

Chu Qingcheng looked at Ding Hui: "I think the same as you, but I don't know if those strange things the locals told me are true or false?"

"I think whether it's real or fake, as long as it's a gimmick, it's fine. It won't affect tourists coming here. If you do a good job with this project, it will be a great contribution to the Chu family," Ding Hui said with a smile.

Qin Ran glanced at Ding Hui sideways.

This guy never thinks before he speaks.

This is clearly a trap set for Chu Qingcheng.

Qin Ran replied, "Don't make a decision now. I'll go over and take a look tonight, and we'll talk about it after I've found out what's going on."

"Junior brother, I'll go with you," Su Qingyi said with a smile.

"You can stay at the hotel."

"No, I want to go with you. I'm your girlfriend. Wherever you go, of course I'll follow," Su Qingyi said, pouting.

Qin Ran didn't reply; she subconsciously glanced at Chu Qingcheng.

At this moment, Chu Qingcheng's face looked very pale.

Su Qingyi's words just now completely overturned the vinegar jar.

"Qin Ran, you don't need to go tonight. I can go by myself. This is my business, and I should do it myself," Chu Qingcheng said with a dark face.

"Didn't you ask me to come with you to investigate? Now you're saying things like this," Qin Ran said.

"I just asked you to come along, I didn't say I wanted you to help me with the investigation. If you feel I'm bothering you, you can leave now."

Qin Ran pursed her lips but didn't say anything.

He knew that Chu Qingcheng had been provoked by Su Qingyi.

If you argue with her now, she will become increasingly irritable.

Ding Hui chimed in, "Qingcheng, why don't I go with you? I don't have anything to do tonight anyway, and it's not safe outside at night. I can protect you."

"That would be too much trouble for you."

"We're old friends, so let's not be so formal."

Chu Qingcheng nodded in agreement.

She agreed to Ding Hui's request without really understanding what was going on.

Ding Hui also wanted to take this opportunity to show off.

She wanted to win over Chu Qingcheng as soon as possible.

That way, I can become the Chu family's son-in-law.

After finishing their meal, everyone left the private room.

They went back to their room to tidy up before preparing to go to Hunter's Tower Village again.

Qin Ran originally planned to go alone.

But since they all want to come along, let's go together.

After leaving the hotel, Chu Qingcheng got directly into Ding Hui's car.

The assistant had no choice but to follow.

Ding Hui was overjoyed.

It seems that Chu Qingcheng is sending him ambiguous signals.

Little did they know, Chu Qingcheng was only acting out of spite.

Qin Ran didn't say anything when he saw this.

He gestured for Su Qingyi and Gu Xinrou to get into the car.

Then we drove to Hunter's Tower Village.

Ding Hui followed behind Qin Ran.

Soon, they arrived at their destination.

At the same time, the henchman who was lying in wait at the village entrance saw a car coming and immediately dialed Wang Meng's cell phone.

"Boss, you were right, they really did come at night."

"Hahaha, wasn't I right? Let's proceed according to the original plan."

"clear."

The henchman hung up the phone and then hid in the shadows to take another look.

He only secretly left after confirming that it was Qin Ran and the others.

After getting off the bus, everyone's eyes turned to Lietahu.

The weather today is bad.

The sky was overcast.

Not a single light was on in the nearby village.

Qin Ran sensed that something was wrong.

Suddenly, Su Qingyi noticed something unusual: "Look, there really is something in that lake. Could it be the water monster Wang Meng was talking about?"

Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that there really seemed to be something swimming in the lake, creating huge ripples.

Seeing this, Chu Qingcheng and Gu Xinrou were also somewhat frightened.

Qin Ran, however, felt that something was amiss.

Why didn't they see it during the day?

When they arrived at night, they immediately saw the water monster.

This seems a bit illogical.

Qin Ran glanced at Ding Hui subconsciously.

This guy stood beside Chu Qingcheng with his head tucked in.

He looks like a coward.

"Qingcheng, it seems Wang Meng was right. There really is some unknown creature in this lake. This is a business opportunity, we must seize it," Ding Hui said to Chu Qingcheng.

Chu Qingcheng didn't reply; she was taking pictures with her camera.

Qin Ran said to the group, "We can't say for sure what's in the water. Let's go to the temple on the mountain to take a look."

"We...we still have to go up..." Ding Hui's throat bobbed.

"Mr. Ding, you're not scared, are you?" Qin Ran said with a sneer.

"Nonsense, how could I be afraid? I'm here to protect Qingcheng."

Qin Ran smiled and said, "Let's go then."

After saying that, Qin Ran led the way.

The crowd followed behind him.

Ding Hui walked at the very back.

It was dark and eerie here, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Soon, they reached the steps and began climbing them.

Suddenly, something seemed to flash quickly past in the bushes beside them.

Ding Hui's anus tightened in fright: "There seems to be something in the bushes. Maybe we should wait until tomorrow during the day to go up."

Qin Ran sneered, "Mr. Ding, if you're scared, you can go back first."

Chu Qingcheng also turned around and said, "Or you can wait for us in the car first."

"I'm not afraid, I'm just worried about your safety. I'm usually very brave and often walk at night."

No one paid him any attention.

Just as they were about to reach the top of the stairs.

A sudden chill ran down Ding Hui's spine.

The next second, something patted his shoulder.

"Ah...a ghost..."

Ding Hui screamed in fright.

Everyone turned around when they heard the sound.

Qin Ran said with a disdainful look, "Dude, can you stop being so jumpy?"

"I think something tapped my shoulder just now." Ding Hui's face was grim.

His words made the girls a little scared.

"Then I'll bring up the rear. Who among you is willing to lead the way?" Qin Ran asked.

"I'll do it."

Su Qingyi walked to the front.

Qin Ran went to the very back.

He almost burst out laughing when he saw the way Ding Hui walked.

This guy even said he was protecting Chu Qingcheng.

The slightest sound or disturbance would terrify him like a dead dog.

My legs trembled when I walked.

Soon, Qin Ran and the others arrived at the entrance of the temple.

The door is open during the day and closed at night.

There was also a sign in front of the door.

The sign reads, "Entry is prohibited after dark; otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences."

Gu Xinrou looked at the sign: "I saw some netizens post about this sign online, and it really is exactly the same."

At the same time, Ding Hui moved closer to Chu Qingcheng and said, "Qingcheng, for your safety, let's go back and come back tomorrow. This place is quite eerie; I feel a lot of yin energy around here."

Qin Ran was speechless after hearing this.

He was clearly just a coward who was afraid of death, yet he made it sound so noble.

This guy is so hypocritical.

Chu Qingcheng looked at Ding Hui: "My purpose in coming here is to investigate. I need to figure out whether this place truly possesses a pristine and mysterious charm, or whether someone is bluffing and deceiving tourists. This will also determine whether the Chu family should develop this place for tourism."

Ding Hui's throat bobbed; he wanted to say something, but hesitated.

The next second, Qin Ran pushed open the temple door.

A wave of yin energy instantly swept over me...
